six feet in length. crosses the reach bar
Mt its center. To this transverse bar
the blowing. cultivating. and other APP

the invention is a mechanism that al
lows the operator to apply the whole
power to any one Of the wheels, thus
making 1t easy to get the wheels
out of any rut or hole In which they
may get stuck. The wheels may be
operated entirely independent Of each
other and by an ingenious steering de-

PACIFIC COAST NEWS AND COMMENT
REPORTS OF INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT IN OREGON. WASHINGTON
CALIFORNIA AND IDAHO.
Down on q Palouse Farm.

A good idea of what can be done on
q farm in the Palouse country of
Washington may be had by reading
the report of w. d. Mitchell, who
had the 676 acre farm of the Mitchell
estate, one mile east OF Colfax, leased
during the past year. On $40 acres
Mr.. Mitchell produced 20. 754 bushels
of grain, an average Of 63 bushels to
the acre. The grain was divided as
follows; GOAL bushels of wheat, B.
234 bushels of barley and $40 bush
els of oats. He also raised 200 sacks
of potatoes, lao sacks of onions, three
tons of cabbages and other vegeta bles,
including $64 worth Of melons sold to
Coliax citizens. He sold $3.50 worth
OF hogs, 1924 worth of milk, $2lO worth
of calves and $40 worth OF pears.
There are now on the farm about 60
tons of prunes, worth So per ton at
the dryer or SIS per ton on the tree,
which is net profit, the buyer picking
and hauling the fruit. The total
value of the products of this farm
this season will reach So, 235.

To Cut Tall Timber.

Articles Incorporating a railroad
company to operate in the timber in
the western part OF Polk county and
Lincoln county, Oregon, nave been
filed with the county clerk in Multno-
nah county and with the secretary of
state at Salem. The authorized cap
ital is 500, 900, and the corporate
name is Salem, Falls City & Western
Railway Company. The articles re-
cite that the object is to acquire, con-
struct and equip railroad, telephone
and telegraph on route to be desig-
mated later between Salem, in Marion
county, and the mouth of the Siletz
river, in Li!coln county. This would
be over distance of about Is miles,
most OF which would be through val
liable timber. The main object of
this corporation is to provide AN out
let for the fine timber on the hills
back of Falls City. The intention is
to extend the new line as the saw
mills shall eat into the timber, cross
ing the coast range and penetrating
the siletz country. 1t will be a
standard gauge railroad.

Zine Cinnabar Ore.

The discovery of mercury In p~y-
Ing quantities in the Meadows dis
trict. east of Grants Pass, Ore, has
caused much activity In that section.
Many claims have been located and
are being worked, and many thou
sand dollars worth of cinnabar ore
have been removed from the mines.
while the work of development and
discovery goes on without abatement.
From small hole on the Mayfield
claim $4,000 worth Of cinnabar ore
was removed a few days ago. The
ore is pronounced the richest and
best grade OF cinnabar ever found in
Oregon, and as good as any uncov-
cred on the Pacific Coast.

solved the problem of the substitution
of mechanical power for that of horses
in farm work.
The motive power for this machine

A recent incorporation is the Oar

Of soap and of different lubricating

The value of crude tale, AS it is quar-

and his patient had $G,O0O,0OO. The
physician swears that he kept the brain

he added an even one million dollars
to his fortune. If that is true the doc

fellow who entered the room of the

Ter, of Andalusia township, one morn

when about to leave the state. The
fine was fixed upon plea of guilty to
the charge of disorderly conduct and
was the maximum according to the
law. From the stories told by neigh
bors and mem oers of the Burmeister
family it appears that Anderson
might have been convicted of much
more serious offense. He refused to
talk about the case in court. An
uncle to whom he appealed for aid
refused to pay his fine. 1t appears
that Anderson has been in q mum Der

was the theft of horse and rig some
