steal Care Of Coal.

AS the result Of Investigations made
by railroad secret service men. the Hill
nois Central has dismissed from Its
service sixteen men employed by the
company at Fort Dodge. 1t is said
that the Investigations of the detec-
tives have revealed the fact that there
has been systematic theft of COM
pany oosl by employees. Cars of coal,
1t is alleged, consigned to the COM
pany, have been appropriated to the
use of the employees, or sold by them
and the money retained. 1t is said
that further dismissals and perhaps
some arrests may result as a continu
ance of the Investigations. The thefts
are said to have been continued fol
several months.

To Turn tho Missouri River.

In the effort to prevent Lakeport
township, Woodbury. county, from be-
ing transferred to the Nebraska side
of the Missouri river by the vortex of
the muddy stream, theUnited States
government has instructed Colonel
James B. Quinn, engineer in charge
OF the upper Missouri river, to prepare
immediate plans for the digging of a
new channel. In the last year the
Missouri has eaten Its way to within
1875 feet of Sand Hill lake bed. Should
it reach the lake three-fourths of Lake

of acres of valuable farm land, would
be an island on the Nebraska side OF

Mixing of ground corn cobs and corn
hulls and ground alfalfa in making
stock foods of various kinds and
wholesale adulteration of stock foods
and grains that are sold to the farm
.rs of the state is disclosed in re-
port made to the directors Of the de-

port the legislature is to be asked to
enact a law that will place the same
restrictions around the sale Of stock
foods and grain to farmers as Is now
placed around the foods for human
consumption by the state pure food
law. The disclosures of the adulter

an investigation started year and a
half ago by the state agricultural col
lege at Ames. The investigation by
the state college was started in March
1905, when circulars were sent to feed

The state college called the attention
of the committee of the department of
agriculture on "adulterated foods and

the conditions to the department. In
the rooms of the department of agri-

Professor Mitchell of the state colleg9
discovered two pipes leading to .pne
bin. Taking paper sack he took a
sample from one of the pipes and dis
covered that it was bran. Taking q.
sample from the other he discovered
1t to be chaff from corn cobs. The
corn cobs were thus being mixed with
the bran as an adulterant. AS the
corn cobs have little or no value as
food the farmer who bought the bran
was cheated. The greatest fraud js

Strawberry Trade In Local Cities.

Tacoma and Seattle consume great
Quantities of berries during the season,
which lasts from the first of April
until August. The first berries come
from California, then Southern Ore
gon is ready to ship, Folloing that
in rapid succession, the berries come
in from Kennewick, Hood River, the
island of the Sound and as late as
August fruit Is received from the hill
county around Hood River and else
where in Oregon and Washington.
The favorites seem to be the Clark
Seeding, Marshall Sharpless, Dollar
and Magoon, the last named being
grown on the island Of Puget Sound
mostly, The first two are the best
shippers. Ii ia oonservatively esti'
mated that during "A season Seattle
will consume at least thirty thousand
crates of Strawberries and Tacoma
almost that number. Probably as
many are handled through these
cities for other points. In a talk
with commission men in the two
cities, 1t was asCertained that most
the growers are profiting by eXper-
ience and the instructions of dealers
and are now packing their berries a
satisfactory manner, although some
do not realize the necessity for care.
ful packing and grading. Many of
the commission men prefer to handle
berries entirely on consignment, be-
cause they can never tell ahead what
the price and conditions are going
to be. The price, as In other commo-
dties, fluctuates with the supply.
They would rather deal with the grow
ers direct where they know how to
put up the berries, but it is their ex-
perience that members of the various
associations pack the fruit in better
shape than do individual growers In
majority of cases. Systematic grow
ing and packing, in tho estimation OF
the commission men, pay much bet
ter than careless work and Is much
better for all concerned. The berries
from Hood River and those grown In
Washington come packed in better
shape than the fruit from California,
and the berries from the South have
the additional disadvantage of Ions
distance shipping. Some growers,
those of Hood River and KennewicL
especially, have arranged to shiI
their berries through brokers whose
business it is to see that the fruit
comes to the market in good shape
and is disposed of per agreement
Then, too, the broker protects The
market when he sees that it is likely
to become overloaded. Commission
men are beginning to appreciate thu
work of the brokers, for allowances
and the settlement of disputes can bt
made without the loss of much time
or trouble. Several hundred grower
on the islands of the Sound have alsC
organized and this year they az

ers in Seattle and Tocoma. Some o
the commission firms prefer to bu!
outright, rather than sell on consign

Rains Assure Big Harvest In Crook Co.

Unprecedented rain throughout
Crook county during the past two
weeks makes certain large crops for
the present season, besides assuring
bountiful supplies OF range grass for
the stock. Grass is growing where 1t
has never grown before, say the stock
men, and continues to thrive and
remain green.
From every section of the county
farm bring word of the heavy rains
which have thoroughly soaked the
ground and given the grain and other
crops a start which no amount OF hot
weather can check The farming dis
tricts, as a result, are rejoicing over
the good fortune which has been
showered upon there communities.
Old settlers say that this is te first
time in years that so much rain has
fallen at this time of the year. Late
May and June rains are especially
desirable in this section OF Eastern
Oregon, but it is extremely seldom
that 30 much moisture falls as there
has this year. For the past three
weeks rain has fallen frequently and
several heavy rains have occurred
during that time. Especially In the
Agency Plains and Haystack sections,
where Crook county produces its
wheat, are the prospects bright for
bumper crop this year. Rains there,
as In other districts, have been gen
eral and heavy enough to thoroughly
soak the ground. d.-Prineville journal.

According to canvas by the Kenne-
wick Fruit Growers association about
l25 acres will bear strawberries this
season. Yield of matured patches Is
estimated at $50 crates to the acre.
The price last year averaged 81. 90
per crate, taking the entire duration
of the shipping season into considera-
tion. 70 be conservative the estimate
was based on the average price of
3. 50. Figuring on this basis above
mentioned 152 acres at $50 crates to
the acre will give total yield for
market of Is, $50 crates and even at
the low price of 80 per crate this
will aggregate the large sum of s46,
875. The Kennewick Courier states
there will also be the crop from
patches not in full bearing, but yet
sufficiently developed to produce Der
ries for the market. 1t is difficult to
estimate in any way this port ion OF
the IS acres, making the total acreage
of berries In at least partial bearing
300. If calculated that the 70 acres
will produce one-third OF crop OF
80 crates to the acre this will make
an additional 1850 crates and an
added income to the valley of $3.50,
and a grand total of S54, 375 worth oi
berries for market.
The Kennewick berries we're the
earliest on the market last year.
