A Modest Protest

The circus had come to a certain
southern town last summer. Just be-
fore the parade prosperous-looking
negro approached the manager OF
the show, doffed his hat and said ::
Does you-all shownen know you
has youh show en- my lot?"
The manager replied he knew nc
thing about the matter and ordered
the negro out of the way. The claim
ant, however, stood his ground and
finally proved to the manager that
he did own the lot. Then the mana
ger looked up the real estate agent
who had rented the lot for circus
purposes. The real-estate man came
up. "What do you want here?' he
asked of the owner.
"Nuth'n', con'l, nuth'n cep'
was jes' tellin' des yer show folks
they done got tn tent on my lot
did they tear your fences DOWN.
mo, sir, co'n'l, case dey ain nc
fences"
"Well, don't you know you cam t
keep people off your lot unless it is
fenced? They can play ball on it.
or dig bait on it, or have show or
it, or pasture their cows on, it, SC
long as it isn't fenced and no house
is on it,
us dat so?" inquired the owner
anxiously. "All right, co'n'l, al

CamaS Prairie Lands.

There are reasons why hay ranch
at the present time offers a conserVa-
tive investment. The Camas Prairie
district offers not only the above
feature but speculation as well.
Prices have just started to advance
and this district is now becoming
available Que to proposed drainage.
The land being of deposit nature is
very productive and will be valuable
for the production of high grade tim
othy hay as well as for general dairy
ing purposes.
The people of the White Salmon
Valley are in much the same position
as in our own Valley in that they are
heavy consumers and light producers.
The haul on feed is cheaper in many
cases from Camas Prarie to the CON
sumer than from White Salmon.
The land, although very rich, is not
producing the tame grasses at present
due to overflow during portion of
each year. A system of canals is to
put in by "Camas Prarie Drainage
District Number One" which will
eliminate this water and the ground
will then be available for domestic
crops. Bonds are being sold covering
a term of years to do this work.
We have some very interesting in
vestments to offer at Camas Prarie
and we expect to deal almost entirely
with local people who may have a
surplus to invest in something other
than orchard lands.

Specialist Faces Heavy Damages.

A dispatch to the Portland Telegram
from Eugene says that s. M. Douglas,
a local capitalist, formerly farmer
living east of Springfield, has begun
suit in the State Circuit Court there
against DR.. c. w. Edmunds, Eugene
eye specialist, for $l0,0 damages for
the loss of the sight in his left eye,
which he alleges was caused by an
operation performed by Or. Edmunds.
He stated that he consulted the doctor,
whospronounced his affiiction a stop
page of the tear duct and performed
an operation. He alleges that immed-
ately after that he became blind in
that eye and that the member is total
ly disabled. The alleged operation
was performed two or three months
ago and since then Mr.. Douglas has
consulted specialists in Portland who
have informed him that he will never
regain his sight in that eye. DR..
Edmunds was formerly located at
Hood River.

There are no tendencies to race
suicide among the people who are be-
coming interested in the tracts of the
Central Orchard Company which.were
opened for sale just two weeks ago
and already three families with a total
of II children are planning to take up
their residence on the new orchard
land subdivision. There are % men,
bers of the three families and the
buyers of the first tract did not con-
slider it unlucky to select lot number
l3, which will soon he occupied by the
family Of nine. The other two families
have five children each and in one
ther. are five boys. If the rest of the
settlers on the Central tracts have the
Rooseveltian tendencies of the first
families an addition will have to be
built to the school house across the
road from the tracts before the fall
session is opened.

New Booklet On Swine Culture.

The booklet. "Swine Culture" re-
Gently issued by the ,O-W. r. & N. Co.
gives very comprehensive statement
of methods that may be successfully
followed in swine raising in the North
west. Many farmers in the grain
belts of the section are finding that it
is very profitable to raise hogs. The
industry, if intelligently pursued is
very attractive. Good returns are
reasonably certain, and the problems
of favorable conditions is less serious
than almost any other branch of farm
life.
The railroad company is mailing the
booklet to every farmer whose address
it can obtain. Traffic Manager r. B.
Miller states that it will be glad to
furnish a copy Of the publication on
the application Of any one desiring it.
