State Grange Asks Rural
Credits at Annual Session

of the date Of the collection Of the
second half Of the taxes from October
8 10 the first Monday in November
favored In another.
In the demand for the rural credit
law the committee recites that the
people Of the country expected relief
from the financial stringency after the
passage Of the administration currency
act and that the law has failed to
bring about that relief. II says that
money Is as scarce as il was before the
passage Of the act, and reports that
rates Of interest have remained rs be-
fore.
Il calls upon all Of the subordinate
oranges Of the state to support a
measure for the relief Of the farmers,
contending that the interest rates now
charged by lenders are "eating the
yitals and life out Of the state and ma
tion."
The committee would have congress
grant TO the states the right to issue
non-interest- bearing bonds TO be used
as time loans on which the secretary
Of the treasury would issue currency
less per cent discount. This would
be handled by the state land board and
applicants for funds would receive
loans not in excess Of so per cent Of
the valuation Of land for periods Of 5,
10, Is, 20, rs, 80 or 35 years at q rate
not more than 4 per cent, payable
semi-annually.

Seven Battles 10 Week IS BlOOdiest
Of fnire War in Western Europe

London-Seven separate and distinct
battles were fought in the week just
closed and there can be little doubt
that the days from Saturday, the sth.
until Friday, the l4th, will rank
among the most bloody in tho history
of Western Europe, says the corre'
spondcnt Of the Times. He adds:
Saturday night saw no lessening in
the intensity of the struggle. On the
Ypres front. although outnumbcred
and in danger Of being outtianked, our
men again and again hurled back Ger
man attacks.
During the darkness the Germans,
M though aware that with every pass
ing hour their opportunity was slip
ping away. continued to hurl them
selves against our lines.
''Men who lived through this night
shot until they could no longer hold
their rifles. The fury Of the assault
was indescribablc.
Dawn of Sunday showed in the
fields In front Of Ypres the dead piled
like cornstalks at harvest time, British
and Germans lying side by,side."

Notices Sent Officials.

Salem - The State Tax commission
has sent circular letters to county Off
cials calling attention to an act passed
by the recent legislature, which makes
sheriffs, instead of county treasurers,
tax collectors. The letter says in part
"This act does not specify any partic-
ular method to be followed in making
transfer of the tax roll from the treas
urer to the sheriff. It is evident, how
ever, that the treasurer must make a
return to the County court, verified by
proper certificate, as required by law,
showing clearly the state of the tax
roll on the conclusion of his duties as
tax collector.

Klamath Shipping Cattle.

klamath Falls - Three carloads Of
cattle have been shipped to the Port
land markets. These are the first
Klamath Falls cattle to 60 to the Port
land Union Stockyards for some time,
and the grading and prices they re-
ceive is being awaited with interest
by Klamath Falls shippers. 1t is
thought by some shippers that the
Portland market, while it offers in
some instances more attractive prices
for stock, cut the profits from ship
ments there by too strict grading.
II the prices and gradings at Port
land are what Klamath Falls men be-
lieve they should be, there is reason
to expect that some of the several car
loads of stock that are sent away from
klamath Falls every Thursday will be
delivered to Portland instead of going
to Sacramento.

'The German press expresses sur

where the police are active. Official

show that the hatred Of the Germans
is the only pretext left for plundering.
That the internment of all hostile for
