6. II. S. says: In following suit in a trick in
which his partner leads b drops two cards on the
table, one Is the ace OF the suit and the other a
small card. Although the card led is the king.
the dealer demands that d shall play his ace on the
trick and shall lead back the small card. b bets
that this would be demanding two penalties for
one offence, because the dealer would not only be
calling a card TO one trick but calling a lead TO the
next.
B is quite right about this being an exaction OF
two penalties for one offence, but law ~ reads that
way. as 1t says, the dealer shall have the right 10
call either OF the two cards played at once TO the
current trick and that the other card must be left
on the table as an exposed card. As exposed cards
can be called at any time, the dealer was within
his rights In demanding II to the next trick.

EUGENE BOOSTING.
Publicity Fund of $4,000 Has Been
Raised in University Town.

The Southern Oregonian of Med
ford, says
Eugene has just distinguished itself
by raising a fund of $4,000 for boost
ing and advertising the city.
OF this amount $4,000 is to be paid
for a booster" whose business it will
be to look after the interests of the
city and the balance will be spent
under his direction for advertising.
Eupgene is wise. What is every
bodys business is nobody's business,
and hence it is well to have a high
class man to make q business of look
ing after the publicity interests of the
community.
In Medford this work has been done
by half dozen or so public-spirited
citizens, who can i'll afford the time
and money given to the public, yet
who unselfishly devote many hours a
day along these lines.
The time is coming when Medford
will have to follow Eugene's example,
though at present no paid booster
could do more for the city than is be-
ing done freely. But it is not right
for the many to continue always to
receive the sacrifices of the few.

DAIRY SHOW BEGINS.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Blood

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 9.-Thousands of
dollars worth of blooded stock from
all parts of the United States and
Canada is to be seen at the second
International Dairy show which
opened at the stockyards amphi-
theater today. From every point Of
view the exhibition is the most no.
table affair of its kind ever given in
this country and will attract the at
tention Of farmers. stOckmen and
dairymen everywhere. The United
States department of agriculture and
the National Association of Dairy In
structors and Investigators have CIV
Ell their active cooperation to the
show.
The Importance of sanitation in the
manufacture and handling of dairy
products from the time the milk
comes from the COW until the finished
article is placed in the hands of the
consumer is illustrated at the show
by the operation of dairy machinery.
While the exhibits relate primarily
to methods of handling dairy pro-
ducts and the proper breeding of cat
tie the show embraces also consider
alton of the improvement of all food
and farm products. A number Of

WHAT THE LID" WILL Do FOR CROOK

spectacle element of the county's
population.
Incidentally it may be said that
the enforcement Of the closing-up or
der will mark an important step In
the passing of the old Crook county.
with its wide open gambling and the
various forms of, lawlessness that
have characterized 1t as one of the
"cow counties" of the state.
Until last year legal punishment
mad been meted out in only one or
two cases for murders committed in
this county, and it was claimed that
A. verdict of murder in the first de-
gree could not be had.
And, when last fall Crook coun-
ty Jury returned two verdicts Of
guilty in murder cases, in one term
of court, and one Of them a verdict
of murder in the first degree, 1t was
heralded by some as the dawn of a
new era of law and order enforce
ment in this county
Crook county has undergone great
changes in the past few years. Once
the principality of few stockmen,
1t has been invaded by the homeseek-
er, until today 1t as a populous agri-
cultural district, with millions Of
dollars being spent in various devel-
opment enterprises. There is no
longer any room for the tinhorn
gambler who openly fleeces the herd,

drunken cowboy, shooting up the
town" to enliven his vacation.

w. T.. Herring of Washington, ID.
.C., chief engineer of the forest re-
serve service, is in Idaho for a few
days attending to business matters
with Supervisor Grandjean.
He has been spending the sum-
mer looking over the work done In
the reserves of the west and states
that nearly one-half million dollars
has been spent in making permanent
improvements such as trails roads.
telephone lines pasture fences. etc.
At the present time there have
been constructed 2400 miles of tele-
phone lines, 26OO miles OF trail, 200
miles of wagon road, 400 miles Of
fence and have about $50 cabins COM
pleted or nearly so.
In Idaho, he states, the reserves
would spend $65,O00 in Improvements
which would be more than any other
state in the union received, with the
exception OF Montana, which, would
receive about the same amount, and
California, which would get about
$4,000 more.
OF this amount $4,000 would be
spent in the Sawtooth reserve and
about $4,000 in the Payette reserve,
The reserve has already donated s4,-
900 for improving the road between
Twin Springs and Atlanta and gave
$3.50 toward repairing the road be-
tween Meadows and Payette lakes.
An average of 1920 miles Of trail
has been built in the Sawtooth re-
serve and about 120 miles in the Pay
ette reserve.
Next year, he said, the telephone
line which is now in construction TO
Atlanta would be extended to STAN
ley down to Lowman and to Idaho
City making a complete circuit OF
over 200 miles and putting the head
office i'm connection with several for
est ranger headquarters.
In the Coeur d'Alene section, work
is being pushed, he stated, and n
great deal of new country is being
opened up with trails and up to date
they have $50 miles completed and
are building a fine trail on the state
line between Idaho and Montana and
will spend about $500 there. In the
vicinity of Nez Perce they are also
doing a great deal of work repairing
old trails and building new ones and
are soon to invade the Salmon and
Priest river sections.

The Madras Pioneer, one Of the
representative country newspapers Of
Crook county, says of the effect Of
closing gambling in that county:
The lid is on in Crook county. This
is the news that comes from Prime
Vile, and Sheriff Elkins is quoted as
saying there will be no more gam
bling in this county while he Is sher-
if. AS a starter he has ordered all
games closed at the county seat, and
this order will be extended to every
other town in the county.
It remains to be seen how long the
lid can be kept in place. The gam
bling element at the county has be-
hind 1t strong influences in the
county, but behind the sheriff stands
the district prosecuting attorney,
ready to take a hand II the order is
rot promptly obeyed.
II may be expected that those at
whom the order is aimed will not
submit without some attempt TO flnd
out whether or no the sheriff means
what he says, but It lies in the sher-
IFS power to satisfy that curiosity
in a manner highly instructive to the
curious, and at the same time entire
ly consistent with his duties as an
officer Of the law.
And in his efforts to enforce law
and order in the community, Sheriff
Elkins may rely upon the active CO.

PROFITS ARE SMALLER.
High Price of Money Reduces Profits
and Increases Costs.


Henry Clews says of the financial con-
ditions of the country:
The increasing high cost OF doing
business is becoming a vital matter
in net earnings and profits. for the
latter are gradually. but surely, d.
minishing. Such a situation almost
invariably marks the turn OF the tide.
No better indication of what increas-
ed costs mean is to be found than in
the monthly statements of railroad
earnings.
In July the roads which furnished
returns showed an increase in gross
earnings of s1S,5OO,O0O. OF this sum
over $16,00O,000 was absorbed by in
creased expenditures, leaving an in
crease in net of only S2,4O0,0OO. Fig
ures for seven months of the year
show a gain of nearly 100000, OF
which S93,OOO.OOO was consumed by
increased expenses, leaving less than
$1S,0O0,00 increase in net.
The bulk of these increased eXpen-
ses went to labor in one form or an
other, although the higher cost Of fuel
and other materials contributed an
important share. These increases in
costs of labor and material are going
to bear with particular weight upon
industrial concerns. for the reason
that the latter will have to face more
or less curtallment in orders. while
the railroads are showing little or no
important loss in the volume of traf-
fic. There is one good feature, and
that is the corn crop is good one
and is now practically safe from frost.
