COVER CROPS ADD
HUMUS TO THE SOIL,

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Ore. Nov. 81
Importance of the growing of cover
crops in orchards is emphasized in a
recent bulletin on orchard irrigation
issued by the Oregon Agricultural
College
Cover crops add humus and fibre
to the soil" says the bulletin The
fibre adds to the moisture-holding
capacity of the light soils and makes
the heavier types more friable, and
more easily handled Any soil of
high clay or silt content and low in
organic matter is not only difficult
to handle with respect to cultivation,
but also as to irrigation.
This type of soil takes up water
very slowly. Percolation is so slow
that a large number of furrows are
necessary If sufficient amount of
water is to be supplied. Thus a great
er surface for evaporation is exposed,
and such soils bake and crack badly
on drying out. A good cover crop,
either natural or sown, If plowed un-
der early in the spring, will aid
greatly in overcoming these difficult
ties.
In experiments It was noticed that
when there had been a late irrigation
good natural cover grew up, of
chickweed, alfalfa and various
grasses. In one orchard cover crops
of vetch and rye and of barley, sown
early In September after late irri-
cations, started readily and made
fine growth, An early cover crop of
this nature not only adds its own
fibre to the soil, but prevents the
leaves from blowing away, thus keep
ing them where they will be of bene-
fit Those cover crops which get a
good start early in the fall make the
best kind Of protection for the soil
during the winter.

the door but turned on the thresh-
hold to look back, when Maxwell
seized hot stove lid from the stove
and hurled it with tremendous force
at Ryan, striking him in the face
with the sharp edge of the lid, split-
ting his upper lip and opening a cash
which reached from his mouth to the
corner Of one eve. Maxwelrs hand
was badly burned from grasping the
hot lid Ryan was knocked down by
the force of the blow and was car
ried by the miners into a house near
by and IA stitches were taken in his
face.
This combat seemed to have brok-

challenged to mortal combat by Max
we'll, but declined to meet his con-
querer in a fight to death. Soon az
ter this defeat, Ryan left Althouse
and went up north where he engaged
in peddling goods, going up and
down on a boat from Portland to The
Dalles on the Columbia But the
devil was in him and had to come
out. He went on one of his old
time sprees at The Dalles and drove
an the men out of a saloon with his
big bowie knife When the officers
appeared on the scene, Ryan fed
from the saloon and was called upon
by the sheriff to halt and surrender.
At this he turned and rushed at the
sheriff with his knife and bullet

SOME EARLY HISTORY
OF ALTHOUSE

Ftfty-four years ago when the uni
verse rang with the fame of the
mines Of California and southern
Oregon and when adventurous spir-
its flocked from every quarter of
the globe to the mountainous regions
of the western slope, there were
those with a larger share of the an
imal in their natures and, when this
new life was suddenly thrust upon
them, they gave rein to their pas
sions and ran rampant In careers of
dissipation, violence and bloodshed.
Tom Ryan was product of these
semi-lawless times. He lived at Alt
house in 1853. When Tom laid down
the pick and shovel he came to
Browntown on Sunday and partooll
of few drinks of fighting whiskey.
He always had suspended from his
belt a large, white handled bowie
knife and a revolver, and with this
liquor rising in his brain, he would
pick up a rock in one hand, and
holding his huge knife in the other,
would whoop like an Apache Indian
in the streets Of Browntown
Ryan once procured a club in
which he placed 40 nails driven
crosswise, and armed with this old
weapon went to Waldo to chastse a
big fist fighter there. The fighter
fed up a stairway on the outside of
a building with Ryan in hot pursuit.
Fistiana's hero Jumped from the
head of the stairway to the ground
beneath, distance of several feet
and was almost killed
On another occasion Ryan knock
ed a man senseless with a three
legged stool, because he thought the
man did not shave himself I'm proc
per manner
After Ryan had shot or stabbed
three or four men i'm Browntown. he
became the terror Of Althouse. MANY
miners were dmid about going TO
Browntown oil Sunday lest they be

"CHARLEY'S AUNT Is
WELL RECEIVED.

A house we'll filled with applaud
ing friends greeted the production of
that merry farce-comedy. "Charley's
Aunt" at the opera house Friday
nisht when local talent, aided and
drilled by W. E. Graham, presented
that mirth-proyoker under the aus
pices OF the Ladies Auxiliary, the
play being interspersed with songs
and dances added to the original
lines.
The cast of the play had been
brought together and directed in its
work in but a few days, and while
this haste was made noticeable in
few minor instances, the production
as a whole was highly pleasing, and
credit is due to each individual who
appeared upon the stage. The audi
ence was liberal in its applause, and
the continuous laughter proved that
the humor of "Charley's Aunt" is
just as effective as it was the first
time this Brandon Thomas success
was staged.
"Charley's Aunt" about whom
the plot and the fun of the play are
constructed, was represented to the
entire satisfaction of the audience,
and to his own histrionic fame, by
Hugh Herrick, while Charley" him
self was present in the person of

partner of Charley" in the esca-
pades of the two college room-mates,

Paul Kinney, and Mr. Graham play
ed the part of Colonel Francis
Chesney" like the veteran that he
is. The other male character, that
of the College Scout, was played ar
tlstically and capably by Mrs. Lloyd
Dyer.
From the beauty and the grace of
the young ladies who appeared in the
cast it is not to be wondered at that
all were happily betrothed before
the curtain fell on the last act.
Amy" and kitty" upon whom the
two college chums lavished their

New laurels we're won by the
Misses Mangum, Pattillo and White,

gracious presence always being a de.

Food Combinations.

The human stomach is the scene of
constant chemical activity. Digestion
is largely a matter of chemical
changes. This dictates that we must
use some care not to put in to 1T, at
the same time, chemical incompatibles.
1t is fundamental fact in chemistry
that acids ard alkalis are opposites.
They neutralizc each other. All
starchy foods are digested in an aka
line medium. If you put acid into your
stomarch at the same time that you eat
starches you interfere with the diges-
ton of those starches. When you eat
st.lrchy food and an acid food at the
same time the digestive machine must
make enough alkaline digestive fluid to
counteract the acid before the diges-
ton of the starch can begin.
What happens? The undigested
starch lying in the warm digestive
of, proceeds to erment and not only
becomes unfi5 1or use but is converted
into gases, acids ard other substances
which are positi ely injurious These
substances are aiken up by the blood
and be fore they can be eliminated by
the body, work harm to the blood
vessels, the nerve centers and to all the
organs.
Meats require considerable acid in
digestion and if starches, requiring
alkaline digestive fluids, are eaten at
same time, the chemical clash again
occurs. the dig ast on of both foods is
hn.dred and the destructive and in
jpfious processs of fermentation and
putrefaction are again set up. From
an article by Dr.. r. r. Daniels on
S arsh, s and Acids, to appear in the
f,pr number of The Hygienist Mag

STEAMER THEALKA SINKS.

Recently the steamer Thealka
was caught OH the ice mile below
Whitehouse, and was SO damaged
that when the rise in the river came
she sank. The damage was caused
by her hog chains having broken,
causing the huh OF the craft to
break in twain. The boat is a to-
tai loss to her owners. She was
valued at $1,000 and there was in
surance to the amount OF $1,000 on
her.
The insurance adjuster, and
Capt. j Il. Meloy, formerly OF Lou
lisa, the chief owner of the boat,
went to the scene of the wreck and
the claim against the insurance com
pany was adjusted. 1t is said that
under the laws of marine insurance
the company insurlng the craft Will
get the machinery and only the am
cunt named in the policy will be
paid the insured, hence the net loss
to the owners will be about $1,000.
