CREENLAND'S EsKIM0S
 CONTRIBUTE TO
 DR. COOKS FINISH

 The news from the Arctic explorer Donald R. MacMillan, who attended first by disappointment of Rear Ad miral Peary. MacMillan evidently had been on his trail and was able Co report that Crocker Landil which Peary was almost sure he saw in tho distance. and was confident enough to put on the maps, was merely an Arctic mirage.
 But MacMillan also went on th' trail of pr. Cook and in his case he adds flnality to the exposure of tha exploiter's claim of discovery of th' pole. In letter written January ls at Etah. in Greenland. which comes by way of Denmark, Mir. MacMillai wrote as follows:
 Referring to Denmark makes me think of Dr. Cook. under stand that there are many in Dem mark who, as l suppose there are in the United States, that still have faith in him, or some doubt in their minds about the exposure of his claims. For the past fifteen months have trav- eled and lived with the two Es- kimo boys-we call them boys
 who were his companions. One of them Is with me constantly and is sleeping here in the igloo as write. They have absolute ly no reason Co deceive me, and ! know them so well that ] would know if they were lying to me, The story that they tell about pr. Cook has never varied. It is the same now in every detail as it was when we met them in Etah in 1909. (and when they told 1t to Admiral Peary, who gave it to the American newspapers at the time when he returned home They say that they went across Ellesmere Land with Dr. Cook Co Cape Thomas Hubbard. and then out on the ice for about fifteen miles. That point is about 800 miles southward from the North Pole. They were not out of sight of land. Then swung off to the South and wintered on Jones Sound. where they had plenty of meat. From there they walked home to Etah in the spring of 1909. At one time. and only one were they hungry but they soon got game. and they still had car tridges in their pockets when they reached Greenland. The last bullet story and numerous other thrilling incidents in Dr. Cooks book are pure fiction. When ! traverse parts of the books to these boys. their comments are very amusing. cannot find a single person in the whole north ern tribe who has any doubt that these two boys tell the truth about their trip with Dr. Cook or who believes that Dr. Cook did otherwise than these boys have stated. Anybody down home who believes Dr. Cooks story would believe a story that the earth is flat"
 In Denmark. it will be remembered there has always been a considerable number of people who believed in Dr Cooks trustworthiness and who con sidered him a persecuted man W' doubt whether they can retain tha view after they read MacMillans let ter

DEPENDENT WIDOW
GETS LARGE PENSION

Salem, August 2.-The State In
dustrial Accident Commission today
approved the claim of the dependent
widow of Mr.. Walter H. Howell, res
ident of Route No. /, The Dalles, who
was killed while employed by the
Manchester Lumber Company on July
goth, 1915. Death came to him in
attempting to put belt onto live
wheels without stopping the machin-
cry. The widow being only eighteen
years of age has an expectancy period
of forty-three years, four months and
seventeen days. During the remain
der of her life or widowhood she will
receive a compensation of $4,000 per
month from the State.
The Commission directed the State
Treasurer to set aside in the Segre-
gated Accident Fund the sum OF ST.
357.77. This amount will be invest
ed in securities, so that the prinel-
pal and compound interest will pay
her during her lifetime $15,6l7.00,
if she lives the full period of expect
ancy. Should she live longer she will
continue to receive $4,000 per month
until death, except that in case OF
marriage, the obligation of the State
shall be cancelled by lump payment
to her of $4,000. The widow is as
sured of this pension, as after it has
been set aside for this purpose by this
Commission, the law provides that
it cannot be appropriated for any 9TH
er purpose. The money is paid by
the State directly to the widow and
is not subject to assignment and can
not pass from the State into other
hands than hers, through any process
of the law or of the courts.

SOME OF THE BEST
FROM JUDGE"
His Honey.

A San Francisco man tells of a
flower, growing abundantly near San
ia Barbara, which is peculiarly at
tractive to bees.
Now" he says, there was a
young Californian, particularly fond
of honey, who used to visit certain
Santa Barbara hostelry because such
superior sort of this nectar was to
be had there.
This young man married in due
course, and the wedding trip included
Santa Barbara, so that the bride
might taste this superb honey. But
to his dismay no honey appeared on
the breakfast table the first morning
of their stay. The groom frowned.
He called the old familiar waiter Ov-
er to him.
Where's my honey?' he demand
ed.
"The waiter hesitated, looked awk-
wardly at the bride, and then bent
toward the young mans ear and in a
hoarse whisper stammered, Why,
Marie don't work here any more,
sir. '-Harper's Magazine.

Heppner, Oregon, July 20, 1915.
Owing to the prevalence of rabies
in the immediate vicinity of Heppner,
the City Council, looking to the well
fare of the people of our town, has
ordained that all dogs shall be muz-
zled or kept chained up until such
time as the City Health Officer thinks
the danger is past. Therefore the
Marshal has been instructed to kill
all dogs found running at large with
out muzzles within the corporate lin
its of the City of Heppner on or after
July 25th, 1915.
Due notice will be given when this
order is annulled.
This order will be strictly enforced.
People outside the city limits are re-
quested to keep dogs at home as there
will be no exception made. Rabies
has ceased to be a joke and the
welfare Of the people demands this
action.

Farm Methods Made
A Matter Of Record

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, August 2.-Farmers can CON
tribute much to the development OF
improved agriculture by making rec
ords of their most successful farm
operations. 1t is altogether likely
that if all farm practices in Oregon
were as good as the best that has
been developed by some farmer the
general level of agriculture would be
materially raised. By making de-
tailed record of the various steps by
which the result was secured the
farmer would be able to repeat and
also to help others. The facts of the
record could be published in the home
newspaper and if general interest in
agricultural papers and the Agricul-
tural College Press Bulletins.
This thought was made vivid by
examining six-year record OF eX-
periments on the Umatilla Expert
ment Farm. This report" explain
ed Professor C, l. Lewis, twas pre-
pared by R. w. Allen, superintendent
of the farm. 1t makes use of the
loose leaf system so that records are
progressive by inserting a new leaf
descriptive of each addition to the eX-
pertinent. When the experiments are
completed there is an accurate and
detailed record of each step with no
other matter mixed in with it. A
glance will show whether the results
were good, and if they were it is easy
to repeat them. II not, they may
be thrown away"
OF course this is more elaborate
record-making than is adapted to the
farmers use, but an account of the
main steps, such as plowing, fertiliz-
ing, preparing seed bed, culture, har-
vesting and marketing or storing and
using, would not require much work
and would in many cases afford a
veritable mine of valuable informa-
ton. Farmers of Southern Lane
County are invited to send in stories
of success to the Cottage Grove Senti-
mel, which will give them wide publ
cation in that part of the state
Doubtless other papers would also
give space to stories of success and
how it was achieved, since the gen
eral welfare of an agricultural com
I munity depends largely upon the pro
gress of agriculture

A bill introduced by Senator Tomp-
kins, of Cambria, is general repeater
OF the act passed two years ago for
the non-partisan election of all Judges
and of officers of second class cities.
The proposed repeater is to take effect
on January ! next, so that it will not
interfere with any of the non-partisan
elections this fall.
Another bill, sponsored by Senator
Smith, provides that if two or more
candidates for the same office have the
same or a similar surname, the County
commissioners may, upon the request
of any of the candidates, print the
occupation of the rivals upon the Of
fetal ballot.
Another bill presented by Senator
MeNichol seeks to change the fall reg
istration dates in odd-numbered years
so as to eliminate the present provision
for qualifying in August. The changes
call for the three registration DAYS to
fall on the ninth Thursday, eighth
Tuesday and eighth Saturday preced-
ing the municipal elections, thus plac-
ing all of these dates in September.

George G.. Mcfarland, of the Harris
burg Automobile Company, has deliv-
cred to his customers 140 REQ cars
with four car loads on, the road for
immediate delivery. A total of PIP
orders have been taken for delivery
up until the first part of April. In
addition to this business they have
stored 81 cars in s. B. Romberger IS

street. These stored cars are all for
delivery during the summer months for
late buyers and were stored by this
enterprising firm who knew very well
that they would not be able to get
enough cars during the summer months
to supply the demand for this most
popular car. The popularity Of the
car has grown in leaps and bounds.
REQ owners find they can drive their
cars over all kinds of roads the year

age cost of between two and three
cents mile for all expenses outside
of washing and storing, that the car is

Joint Recital at Chestnut Street

The announcement made few days
ago that Maud Powell, the famous
American violnist, and Evan Williams,
the great Welsh teror, were to appear
in point recital in the Chestnut street
auditorium on Thursday evening, April
8, was received with more than mere
enthusiasm.
Among the musical artists in this
country none are more popular nor es-
teemed more highly than Madam Pow.
ep and Mr.. Williams, and it is seldom
that one has s1ch an opportunity of
hearing two such great artists in one
evening.
OF recent recital in a large west
ern city critic says of the wonderful
playing powers of Maud Powell: "She
certainly is the greatest woman play
er." And it has been further said she
plays as well as any man, even in con-
sideration of that marvel, Fritz Kreis-
Ter.
Last month Mr.. Williams gave a re-
cital in Aeolian hall, New York City,
and hundreds of people were turned
away, and Mr.. Henderson, the able mu-
sical writer on the New York "Sun, "
refers to him as one Of the most inter
esting singers to be heard in recital.
