WARNINGS
Of Danger Are Being Posted
by the Local Street Car
Company.

The Fairmont and Clarksburg Trac-
ton Company is posting warnings
along the interurbon line near the
station at the Glen Elk bridge. Many
use the tracks there as walk ways in
getting to and from the Broaddus ad-
dition. The company has no objection
to such use OF the tracks but it is
very dangerous practice as an
nounced in the posted warnings "a
cars come in and go out at rapid
speed at times. Especially are school
children using those tracks in grear
danger and parents should have them
cease the use of them.
Another very dangerous thing ls
being indulged in by school children.
when they run up to street, cars and
try to touch them as they iarq pass
ing, while others jump on them while
in motion, risking their lives perhaps
and certainly running risks of being
seriously hurt Parents should eau
ton the children not to do these
things.

DRY FARMING EXPERT
WINS FAME FOR OREGON

Tillman Reuter-, wizard of the
Central Oregon dry-farming
country. has won fame for, the
state by capturing the prize cup
for the best exhibit at the re-
cent Dry Farming Congress at
Colorado Springs and in addition
won IL first, IL second and 3
third prizes. Mr.. Reuter- has
what he considers only an aver
age quarter section of land near
Madras but he has done won
ders. He contends that any
farmer of intelligence can do as
well as he has. His success is
simply another proof that there
is absolutely nothing the matter
with this section of the state if
one uses his head as well as his
hands and feet.

Across John Day Above
Twickenham Valley.
WILL IRRIGATE l4O0 ACRES
Electric Power TO be Developed.
Values Rising Rapidly on
Land in the Project.

The Investment Society of
0regonc ontemplates the building
of a huge dam across the John
Day River directly above what
is known as the Twickenham
Valley. The valley contains a.
bout 1400 acres of rich bottom
land and it is for the purpose Of
irrigating this body of land that
the dam is to be built. The In
vestment Society is to get the
irrigatinq contract for fifty years
and agrees to start work on the
dam just as soon as 1000 acres
are subscribed for irrigation.
AS over $50 acres have already
been subscribed there is no doubt
but what the proposition will go
through although it is an i'm
mense undertaking. The Invest
ment Society will also put in a
power plant at the dam and fur
nish electrical power up and
down the river for the purpose
of pumping water from the riv-
er onto small tracts. Land in
the Twickenham Valley is rapidly
advancing in price since the pro-
motion of this project.

LAW RELATING TO
OBNOXIOUS WEEDS
Passed by Legislature in
1907. VIII be En-
forcedin Gillian.

The 1907 Legislature passed
the law relating to obnoxious
weeds as follows: 1t shall be the
duty of each road supervisor in
each district in this state, in ad-
dition to the duties heretofore
prescribed by law, to ascertain
from time to time and know
whether or not there is in his
district any weed known as the
Russian thistle, the Cana6a
thistle, or sisimbrium altisinum,
(called white mustard), cookie
bur (known as the dagger cockle-
bur), atrisplex argenta (called
silver salt bush) and he shall as
he ascertains that there is any
of such weed, and before any
thereof has shed its bloom or
commenced to form the seed,
serve or cause to be served upon
the owner, if he be known and
residing within the county, and
if not upon the occupant of the
premises upon which said thist-
les or weeds may be. a notice in
writing notifying said owner or
occupant of the existence of said
thistle, weed or weeds, and in
such notice shall give the name
of such weed and description
of the land upon which same is
growing. Said notice shall be
served by delivering to the oc-
cupant or person in charge of
said premises a copy thereof
duly certified to be such by the
person serving same. and if
there he no occupant of such land
upon which such weed may be
growing. then such notice shall
be served by posting duly cert
flied to be such by said road sup
ervisor. q 1907 16S, p 322,
Sec. H.
The law then provides that if
the owner refuses to remove the
weeds the road supervisor can
do so and the expenses become
a lien on the land. 1t also fur
ther provides that any person
allowing the above mentioned
obnoxious weeds to grow on their
premises are subject to a fine.
We have decided to enforce
this law next year and publish
this as a notice, in order that
farmers may make arrangements
to comply with the law.

A PROVING GROUND FOR FEMININE
P0LITY.

- Billtown has gone feminine and will
have to change its name. The com
munity with the masculine cognomen IS
the educational division of an Ohio
county, where 100 votes were sold for
anything they would fetch, from sos to
a glass of cider. Every Bill in Bllltown
had his price and got it, and then the
long arm of the law got him. The lat
est Doomsday survey shows that every
male voter in 1.-THE district has been dis
franchised land this on the very eve of
the election for ANEW school board, for
which women are qualified to vote.
The local Pankhursts are IN control, for
they are also eligible as members of the
Board and will of course vote them
selves into office. This Amazonian up
heaval has left upon the features of the
DISTINGUISHED .lords of creation pale
cast of thought which is almost pathetic.
Yesterday they sat around the corner
grocery and settled grave questions of
international diplomacy and the balance
of trade. Today they wouldn t dare eX-
press an opnion.on the merits of re-
publican form of government. They
go home from the postoffice by way of
the back alley and bring in the stove
wood without word.
The eye of the world will turn to
Billtown as a great suffragist expert
ment station. The Board of Education
offers an effective field for feminine
activity If this municipal gynecocracy
can leaven adams county, it will at
tract national attention. The very in
congruity of Billtown's name will strike
the popular imagination and the para
graphers. Sincere students of this
suffrage question:, will skeep Gtheir eyes
fixed on this vestal fire ablaze in the
Buckeye State.
