Disposition Of Oregon
California Land Case

Governor Withycombe has called q
conference for Thursday, November
18th. Of the seven state commissioners
and the Southern Pacific o1icials to
formulate some plan for the settle
ment Of this controversy. says the Pa
cific Coast Manufacturer.
According to resolutions adopted At
the Land Grant Conference held in
Salem September 1917. there was .
general desire to reach an agreement
between the state government and the
corporation. to put an end to litiga-
tion and open the lands to settlement
on fair terms.
So far as the members of the COM
mission have expressed themselves
through the press. there seems to be
a unanimous agreement that under NO
circumstances shall any Of the $780,
900 acres be added to the forest re-
serve.
There is also a unanimous desire
that the railroad company be required
to pay up all back taxes for several

II Ii seriously estimated that there
are possibly 100000 acres Of this land
grant suitable for homes. and on
which bona fde settlers could locate
and make living.
Some Of tho commissioners are very
anxious that the state land board
should handle such lands ~ might be
opened to settlement in such q way
as to do justice to the railroad COM
pany. and at the same time add sew
eral million dollars to the irredicible
school fund. II Is believed that after
several preliminary conferences a
final agreement oan be reached on
some Of these lines. and put an end to
a controversy that for the last eight
years has held up the development Of
the state.

ANOTHER FREAK Law DIES

This Oregon Supreme Court de-
i serves credit for declaring the
imbecelic new Oregon road law un-
constitutional. .
1t provided that 80 per cent Of the
road funds were for new work and ~
per cent for maintenance. OF the 50
per cent only per cent could be used
for actual road making: the rest was
for bridges. culverts. etc. All bridge
work. surveying. general supervision
and pay Of supervisors had to come
out Of the 30 per cent.
Under this law. good roads in Ore

LIQUOR STIMULATES THE
OLD HEN To LAYING
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA. August 19.-Au prohi-
titionists please take notice that the
following is not intended to have anv
bearing in woman suffrage or the liq-
uor question in Georgia.
If you don't want to feed your hens
on liquor, you don't have to. but
nevertheless, listen.
a scientist claims that recent ex-
periments on hens havye shown that
chemicals are powerful factors in in
creasing or reducing their egg-laying
capacity. and that alcohols are among
the most powerful stimulants, and
that hen when under their influence
lays on third more eggs than she does
in a normal state.
This is not plea for inebriety in
the 6arnyards Of Georgia. From a
moral standpoint, the scientist admits
a sober hen that lays one egg may be
a more worthy fowl than a booze-fght-
ing hen that lays two.
But the scientific result, he said, was
obtained after number OF expert
ments with the lime-forming food
swallowed by the hen. 1t was the ad-
dition of potassium methylate which
set up an alcoholic reaction that gave
the best results. In minimum quantities
this was found to stimulate the shell
forming organs, setting up a CORES
ponding increase of activity in the
formation Of the white and yelk of the
eggs.

SELF APPOINTED SPY
CATCHERS MAKE LIFE
MISERABLE FOR VISITOR
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to Times-Recorder.)
ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. ia party of
Atlanta girls and their parents who
have recently returned from Italy had
some trying experiences as suspected
German sympathizers or spies, AMI
advice their American friends to con-
fine their travelling to this side of the
Atlantic until after the war is over.
They say that while Italy is en-
tirely friendly to the United States
every Italian is a self-appointed spy
catcher, and that since all foreign
languages sound like German to the
more ignorant classes, no traveller
is immune from popular suspicion.
Officially, they say, Americans can
travel around as freely as ever, ex-
cept that they are not welcome in the
actual war zone, but the American
traveller finds two inconvenience, his
native language and his passport.
If he uses the first in public, he is
taken for a German. Every Italian
citizen, especially if he knows no
foreign language, is an assistant spy
catcher" Americans speak a strange
tongue, so the American has to pro-
duce his passport many times. And
even this does moot always satisfy his
inquisitors. often an American show
ing a passport is met with something
like this:
"Oh, yes; an American passport. All
the German spies carry them. There
is a factory of American passports in
Berlin. We have heard of it."

The addition of domestic science

Notice to
Our Patrons

In accordance with the
adjustments of the credits
everywhere among business
houses, we, the undersigned,
herewith announce to our
customers that we cannot
extend the long time for
payment of accounts that we
have in the past, and there
fore place our business on a
cash basis. The time for
long extended credit is past.
The conditions are such that
dealers no longer have a
choice in the matter, as they
must have their money in or
der to pay their bills. The
Ijobbers are compelled to i'm
pose restrictions on those
who buy from them, for the
reason that they in turn must
pay on practically a cash bas-
is for the same goods which
they sell to the merchants.
The change that is coming
is not a local condition alone,
but is becoming more mani
fest all over the United States
and business men everywhere
have taken the same step we
are taking. This announce
ment does not effect the Gus
toner who pays promptly
every thirty DAYS, and unless
special ar. arrangement is made
for a longer period, no &C
count will be carried in the
future past the thirty day
limit.
