NO TROUBLE TO sLAY DEER.
Jackknife Only Weapon Required at
Belknap Springs.

Here is, a deer story from Belknap
Springs, told by well-known citizen
of veracity: Frank Whitaker of AL
bany, who has been in camp at the
springs for some time past, was walk
ing down the Mckenzie from the
springs a few days ago, taking an
early morning walk. Suddenly he
heard something in the brush across
the river, and was surprised to see
a deer jump out and start swimming
the stream, coming straight toward
him. A dog had been chasing the
deer and the latter, intent upon its
pursuer, did not see Whitaker on the
bank of the river, coming out within
a few feet of him. Whitaker had no
gun, but as the deer looked back to
see if the dog was coming, he pounced
upon the animal, and with his jack
knife cut its throat. He first slashed
the animals neck with the small
blade of the knife, but this did not
seem effective, and still holding the
deer, opened the larger
blade and succeeded in stabbing it in
| vital spot. Whitaker dragged the
leer to camp and every body enjoyed
yenison steaks for few days.

FIRES DISCOVERED BY WARDEN
Incipient Fires on Headwaters of Big
Luckiamute.

On an inspection trip to the dis
trict around the headwaters Of the
Luckiamute on Tuesday, W. V. Full
Ter, supervising warden of the Polk
County Fire Patrol association, found
two forest fires which most fortunate
ly came at time when little damage
could be done. One was in section
1897 and burned over eight acres of
land. This fire had been extinguished
before Mr.. Fuller arrived. The Sec
ond fire was still burning slowly and
was in section 1898. where about 100
acres of logged off land had burned.
Both fires were near the new railroad
right of way and the theory is that
the crews burning slashings on the
railroad and were responsible for the
forest fires. Mr.. Fuller reports the
condition as not being dangerous,
however, as the land and vegetation
is very damp. Nothing of value is
being burned as the territory is the
site of old logging work. The larger
fire was smouldering on Tuesday, but
was not making much progress.

OLD DOCUMENTS ARE SHOWN.
Mr.. Harrington Holds Early Day
Deeds to Land.

An ancient and badly worn pocket
book was brought into The Observer
office last week by J. Roy Harrington
and its contents were revealed. This
constituted several deeds filed many
years ago by members of Mr.. Har-
rington' S family, and are highly priz-
ed by that gentleman as keepsakes.
The oldest document was recorded on
November 80, 1912, and was made out
by j. P. Stevenson to Joseph Wood
ward, residents of Lee county, terri
tory of Iowa. This old deed was
written on a very poor quality of pa
per, and it is now nearly in bits, but
the writing is perfectly legible and
the ink is colored as well today as it
could have been when it was applied
to the paper. Another document con-
tanned in the book was recorded June
z, 1S47, by W. B. Remey, recorder of
Des Moines county, Iowa. The in
strument transferred property from
Christian Eslinger to Joseph Wood
ward.

Sleepy Hollow Tomatoes Are Ripe.

AT Sleepy Hollow farm where the
ghost of. old Rip gambols on the
green, hurling huge red tomatoes in
lieu of bowling balls, at the cabbages
and parsnips, Mrs. Winnie Braden
has large number of tomato vines
to supply the old boy with his mis-
siles. On Wednesday Mrs. Braden
brought in several baskets of the lu-
cious vegetable and distributed them
as some gracious horticulturists dis
tribute their choice peaches to their
good friends. The tomatoes, if you
like them as fruit, would put most
any peach to shame. They were
large, red, solid and delicious, and
are fine tribute to the ability of
the gardeners at Sleepy Hollow in
to being about the best speci-
mems of that most edible vegetable
that have been brought to Dallas this
season.

$4,000 and 100000 in real and per-
sonal property, L. Gerlinger of Port

Mr.. Gerlinger plans to develop on
the newly-acquired property a model
stock and dairy farm, on which he
purposes to establish one of the finest
herds of blooded. dairy cattle in the
northwest. Plans for the Improvement
of the farm for this purpose are al
ready under way and construction
will be commenced almost Immediate
ly on barns, bungalows, silos and the
erection of a trestle across the beau
tiful lake that is situated in the CEN
tral part of the big ranch.

GERMAN ARMIES AND LOSSES.
British Experts Give Estimates of
the Same.

A statement from a British au-
thoritative source on Germany s
strength in men and her losses as
serts that about July 81 the Germans
had 100000 men on the western
battle front and 100000 on the east
ern front-a total of 100000 men
on the actual fighting line while
there also were 1,120,000 Austrians
opposed to the Russians.
There were besides a large number
of German troops of various classes
in garrisons, Notifications, and on
lines of communications, in addition
to convalescents, invalids, and others.
at is impossible to say" the state
ment declares, chow far the reserve
troops have been armed and equip
ped, but the fact that the total num-
ber of men on the two fronts is only
100000 appears to show that this
is about the largest number the Ger
mans are able to put fully equipped
into the fighting line.
at is calculated that the first line
troops lost about fifty per cent in
casualties and the reserves about
twenty-five per cent, their places be-
ing taken by recruits from the 1914
class and from other categories and
units, including the 1915
class of recruits.
"Since then they have again lost
about fifty per cent in casualties, so
there remains only about
twenty-five per cent of the original
first line troops, to which must be
added the men slightly wounded who
have returned to the fighting line.
"The German casualties in killed,
wounded, and missing reported to
June 80 totaled 1, 672,444 men, of
whom 306, ,123 were killed, 15.S08 died
Of disease, and 540,723 either are
missing or prisoners or are so seri-
ously wounded as to put them out of
action for the remainder of the war.
Since June 80 there has been heavy
lighting, probably bringing the total
oss up to 100000 for the year
Assuming that 100000 men were
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-09-03

only slightly wounded and recovered,
the effective loss is assumed to
amount to 100000, in addition to
which probably 100000 men are
wounded who are absent from the
front on leave in hospitals. This
makes the total net loss for the year
100000, of whom from 100000 to
100000 men were killed.
"The Germans, it is calculated, at
the beginning of the war had S,OOO,-
900 men available for military service
and that number might be increased
by 100000 or l SOC, 900 if every man
of military age gave his service. The
only reasonable suggestion, therefore,
for the fact that the Germans have
only 100000 men in the fighting
line is that they are unable to supply
more than that number with equip
ment. From the total of from 8,0OO,-
900 to 100000 men must be deduct
ed the 100000 net loss for the year
and the same number of men required
for making arms and ammunition. "

Visits Tillamook Fair.

While spending his vacation days
on the Tillamook coast last week,
County School Superintendent H. c,
Seymour visited the Tillamook fair,
more especially to view the industrial
school exhibit which was shown there.
Mr.. Seymour is loud in his praise for
the work being done by the pupils of
that county. While proportionately
smaller than the Polk county exhibit,
the various articles displayed showed
merit and much diligence on the part
of pupil and teacher.

few CHANGES IN RULES
GRIDIRON SPORT PRACTICALLY
SAME AS IN 1914.
Spalding's Official Guide for Ap-
preaching Season Makes It's Ap-
pearance-The Alterations.

Spalding's official football guid'
has made its appearance, containing
the new rules, records of all the prin
cipal teams, and much other interest
ing data. Principal alterations in tht
playing rules for the season of 191t
are as follows:
Interferers will no longer be per
mitted to knock down the secondary
defense after the whistle blows, mol
will the defense either be permitted
to run into a man after the whistle
blows.
The presence of a field Judge has
been made obligatory, and the watch
has been taken away from the lines
man and given to the field judge, in
order to make is possible for the line
man to be more observant of all the
matters coming within his provinces,
like the above, and Cheating" the
starting signal.
No longer will throwing the ball out
of bounds be substituted by teams
for a, kick, for a forward pass going
out of bounds on the fly, whether it
touches man or not, is now ruled
as an incompleted forward pass.
The focking of substitutes in the
last period has been stopped, and no
re-substitution will be allowed except
at the beginning of a period
The protection of the fullback has
been somewhat altered. The rule has
been divided into two parts-running
into the fullback, and "roughing"
the fullback. Running into the full
back is penalized Is yards, but
''roughing" the fullback is penalized
10 yards and disqualification as well.
The rules committee recommended
that all players be numbered. At the
same time they passed a vote depre-
eating the putting in of substitutes
for the purpose of conveying informa-
ton.
The penalty for unsportsmanlike
conduct was changed to Is yards, but
the power was placed in the hands
of the official to disqualify for fla
grant conduct.
In swapping the ball back, the cen-
ter may not hold it after he has
made the motion; he must actually let
the ball go. This prevents a play
that had been practiced, consisting of
the center holding the ball after he
had apparently snapped it and some
one coming around behind him and
taking the ball from his hands.
The peculiar method of blocking
and interfering which has been in
creasing, wherein men threw their
legs up in the air, has been ruled out.
For throwing the legs and striking
with the lower leg a man above the
knee player will be penalized Is
Yards. The rules already provide that ,
striking man in the same way be- ]
ow the knee is Gripping. Il
Another provision was made that |
lnless the captain requests a lesser {
distance, the referee will always bring '
he ball out from the side line Is 6
Yards. T
If second eligible man touches I
Onward pass after it has been first t
ouched by an eligible player, it is r
imply an incompleted forward pass f

Not Fitting Money Away.

The county court believes that it
should have value received from
county officials as well as from other
sources, and has refused to allow sal
aries for deputies where places were
vacant during the vacation period. On
Wednesday Mrs. Frank Meyers, dep
uty assessor, asked an allowance of
$15 for August, during which month
she was absent from duty all but
eight days. The court paid only for
time served.
