THERE came to the writer's notice
the other day the case of a boy-by
no means a bad one as boys GO
who four or five years ago quit
school at the end Of the seventh
grade. He had little or no encour-
agement at home and, like many a
youth at that age, was smart
thought he knew it all and so quit,
This same boy hasn't whiskers on
his face yet, but he thinks now that
he made a mistake-this barely four
wears after He surely did, for he is
overgrown, and he would be asham-
ed to pick up the threads Of school
work again with those younger and
smaller than himself, and the chances
are that he does not possess force
and persistence to take the studies
up by himself He defrauded him
self by quitting school, and the con.
vction oft will grow on him as he
ages. Pity it is, and yet thousands
Of boys are doing the same thing
every day.

was not such as to bring out the full
strength OF the market. The top price
was $s.65.
Good quality sheep brought good
prices. One lot of wethers brought
S5.25 and ewes sold for $3.50. Most
Of the sheep offered were not fat and

MONMOUTH DAIRYMEN MEET
Purpose Is to Study Improved Meth
Ods and Promote Business.

Recently a number of the dairymen
of the vicinity of Monmouth met at
the creamery for the purpose of effect
ing an organization with a view to
studying the best methods of making
the industry a more profitable one,
and of promoting dairy interests in
the vicinity.
Peter Kurre, the president of the
creamery company, was made tempo
rary president and P. o. Powell was
chosen secretary pro tenn, reports the
Herald.
A committee on organization, con-
sisting of Messrs. Bluhm, Guy Hewitt
and P. o. Powell, was selected to re-
port at the next meeting, which was
set for Saturday, February 4, at 1
o'clock. At this meeting there will be
discussions by Messrs. Palmer, Hewitt,
Ingermansen and other leading dairy
men. 1t is hoped that every dairyman
within reach of Monmouth will be
present at this meeting and help in the
organization of an energetic club that
will place them in the front rank of
prosperous dairying in Oregon. Polk
County now leads in pure-bred live
stock and registered Jerseys, and may
be equally famous for its intelligent
and successful farmers.

INCREASED FUEL CAPACITY
Oregon Power Company Making Many
improvements 10 Its Plant.

The heavy rains and snowy weather
of the past couple of weeks have prov
ed drawback to the workmen en-
ployed on the improvements under
way at the Oregon Power Company
plant in South Dallas, and they have
not made the progress expected Such
work as could be done under cover,
however has been steadily carried on,
and a number of changes have been
made in the engine room and boiler
room Heavily insulated steam lead
pipes, tested to strength of $50
pounds to the square inch, are being
installed underneath the floors con-
Meeting the engines and boilers, and
the interior walls are being given a
coat of white paint
In the boiler room the setting of the
immense water tube boilers has been
completed in the very best and neat
est style of the bricklayer's art. Forty
thousand fine quality brick were used
in providing a foundation and jacket
which do not look like boilers at ALL
but rather more like a city Jail or an
old-fashioned dutch oven.
The huge fuel storage bin has been
increased in capacity until it will hold
enough sawdust and other dessicated
trio company's engines running for 60
days. 1t is now 40 feet wide, 40 feet
high, and S5 feet long, and will hold
5000 cubic yards of fuel. 1t has been
remodeled entirely and new convey
ors have been put in. The old chains
used for this purpose were six inches
wide. The new ones are 1S inches
wide, and are capable of carrying
enough fuel to fill the bin in two
weeks. There will be six sets of these
endless chain conveyors, and they will
be so arranged that they will feed the

hoppers of the boilers, and, by simply
moving lever, the fireman can regu-

furnaces. Any surplus fuel will be
returned to the storage bin, where the

tated, so as to prevent its sweating,
which sometimes causes spontaneous
combustion.
The regular output of planer shaw
ings, sawdust, etc, from the mill will
be sufficient to supply the needs of
the light and power plant when the
sawmill is running, but to provide
against possible shutdown for an un-
usual period of time, what is known
as a "hog" will be put in near the
mill and connected to the conveyor
system. This machine is provided
with a series of rapidly revolving
knives, and any scrap piece of lum-
Der under six inches square coming in
contact with them are instantly re-
duced to fine shreds. 1t will be run
by an electric motor, and .can be oper-
ated Independently of the mill. BY
its use all waste pieces of lumber will
be converted into fuel, instead of be-
Ing sent to the refuse burners as at
present.

NEW CENTRAL FOR SHERIDAN
First Glass System to Connect With
All Towns In Polk.

An application has been made to the
Sheridan council by C. G.. Andrews for
a city franchise for the establishment
of a new telephone system in the city
which will no doubt be granted, says
the Sun. 1t is Mr.. Andrews intention
TO install a thoroughly irst-class sys-
TEN that will extend throughout Yam
hill County. and connect with all towns
in Polk and TillamOok Counties, and
connect with other systems to gain
long distance service to all points ac-
cessible.
Contract for required poles has al
ready been let, and Mr.. Andrews gives
assurance that the new line will be in
operation by early spring. The pro-
moter Of this line is unhampered by
conflicting opinions as to method of
operation, but will conduct It from a
business standpoint, with a view OF
giving the best of service at the mini
mum Of cost Work on the line Is
promised TO commence at the earliest
possible moment and will be rapidly
pushed through to completion.

PASSING OF AGED RESIDENT
John Guttry, of Mill Creek, Dies at
Age of "a Years.

John Guttry, an old resident of
Mr.. Guttry was born in the state of
Tennessee, in the year 1894, emigrat-
ing from his native state to Kansas,
where he remained for several years.
In 1872 he emigrated to Oregon, where
he settled on the farm which he own
ed from that time till his death, on
Mill Creek, seven miles south of Sheri-
dan, in Polk County.
Mr.. Guttry carried with him all the
characteristics of the pioneer, honesty,
charity, and love for his fellows, which
drew to him host of friends, and he
was classed as one among the best
citizens of Polk County, says the Will
lamina Times. He was a man who
was generous, and would at all times
reach out his hand and contribute to
mately acquainted with him say that
too much cannot be. said of John
Guttry as a citizen, neighbor and
Christian man, as in early life he es-
poused the cause of Christ and re-
manned faithful to the end
Besides his many friends and ac-
quaintances he leaves to mourn his
loss a widow, Mrs. Maggie Wilson, of
Dallas; Jodie Guttry, of Amity; Fannie
of Salem; Hugh Guttry, of
Mil Creek, and Docia Dickey.
Funeral services were held at the
Congregational Church at Sheridan,
where a large assemblage of people
met to attend the last service at which
his body would be present, and to-
show their deep sorrow and reverence
toward the man they loved. Interment
took place at Pleasant Hill cemetery,

HILL SAYS ROOM FOR MORE
Homes Here For Million and a Half
Within the Next Ten Years.

That Oregon can become the home
of 100000 additional people in the
next ten years. was the unqualified
declaration of Louis w. Hill, son of
James j. Hill, head of the great rail-
road projects in the Northwest, who
was in Portland Saturday. This can
be accomplished, he said, through
proper publicity methods. While the
state showed a healthy growth in the
last ten years, he contrasted it with
that of some of the Canadian prov
inces that have advanced in population
700 and 500 per cent.
why, Oregon has more to offer its
settlers than any state in the Union, :"
said he. Its resources are not linn
tied to one line. If a man expresses
his wants, Oregon can take care of
him. Tell those things to the people
of the East and we will bring them
out by the trainload. The merchants
should join in the publicity campaign,
and in the development of the state by
the extension of trade into the newly
settled districts.
'The railroads will not be behind
the procession. In fact, they will try to
keep just a little ahead, for we can
anticipate the coming of the settler.
THE state should place it's stamp of
approval on every piece of literature
that is sent out by the railroads, real
estate agencies, the commercial bodies
and by private individuals. Many
people in the East fail to believe the
alarming statements made about Ore
gon. Some of them are suspicious of
promises of homesteads and five-acre
land tracts. The truth of the matter
is it sounds too good to be true. But
If these assertions We're backed by the
Endorsement of the state itself, the
settler would have more
in what he reads"
Speaking of the thousands of fam
lilies who will invade Oregon this
spring, he remarked: "These are the !
kind of people you want in this state, |
not the tourist who travels in the par
lor car, but the immigrant who loads
his household goods, his livestock, his |
farm machinery and his family into |
boXcar and goes into the new country |
ready to start plowing."
