Discussing the military situation the
Chancellor stated that German forces
held strong advanced positions in
Russia, and that French and British

IT'S A POPULAR RESORT
WILHOIT SPRINGS ATTRACT
MANY SUMMER GUESTS.
Here Hundreds of Willamette People
Assemble Annually to Camp Be-
meath Monarchs of Forest.

Picturesquely situated in the foot
hills of the Cascade mountains, some
thirteen miles from Mt. Angel, are
Wilhoit springs, one of the Oldest as
well as one of the most popular health
resorts of the coast country. Here
for more than forty years a hotel
has been maintained summer and win
ter, reached only by wagon road, and
it is here that hundreds of people
resident of the lower valley annually
spend their vacation amid pleasant
surroundings. Being located in a
beautiful spot 81 miles from Port
land, 80 miles from Salem and 25
miles from Oregon City it is within
easy distance by automobile. The
scenery along the route after entering
the timber belt is attractive, while the
mountain air, saturated with the odor
of the stately frs, in itself is condu-
Give to health. The water from the
spring has reputation among lead
ing scientists of both Europe and
America of possessing the second best
mineral properties of any water in
the world, and there are many local
people who swear by it'' as a cure
for such ailments as dyspepsia in its
various forms, liver and kidney trou-
bles and rheumatism.
Several Dallasites have visited Will
hart during the present season and
are loud in their praise of the place,
the camping grounds among towering
frs, some of which pierce the sky at
a height of 300 feet, being particular
ly attractive. Hundreds of tents are
now pitched in this ten-acre tract,
while the thirty cottages on the
grounds are taken. Last Sunday
more than 100 automobiles passed in
to the resort, the greater number of
their occupants being out for days
recreation.
F. W. McLearn of Portland owns
800 acres of land at Wilhoit, the
spring being located in the center of
the tract. For more than thirty-five
years he has conducted the place, and
the visitor of today finds little change
from the offering of a quarter century
ago. 1t is unpretentious as regards
fashion, and the amusements are
crude and few, consisting chiefly of
bowling, dancing and camp gossip.
Some day, when the possibilities OF
the spring and its surroundings are
more fully realized, Wilhoit will be-
come one of the famous health resorts
of the Pacific northwest.

Claims Great Territory.

Claim is made by the Southern Pa
cific company to the entire water
frontage on the coast line of Lincoln
county, from Otter Rock, north OF
Newport, to the southern boundary OF
the county, a full thirty miles on a
line and much farther when bays and
inlets are considered. The claim is
advanced on the ground that in 1874
the state legislature sold what was
then Benton county to the railroad
company by giving away all tide and
marsh lands in the county to the Will
lamette Valley & Coast railroad,
which later became the Corvallis q
Eastern. now a subsidiary of the
Southern Pacific. The courts will be
called upon to decide the right OF
title of the railroad company.

Ancient Letter Shown.

J. S. Macomber, who has farm ON
she Falls City road east of Dallas,
brought a letter into the office last
week that was written on December
23, 1916 by Daniel Wright, near
relative, and sent from Essex, N. Y,
to another relative, John Watson, at
Middletown, vt. Notwithstanding the
age of the letter its well-written
script is perfectly legible and indi-
Gates the high quality of ink that
was used in the early days. The com
munication was written before the in
vention of the envelope and before
the first stamp was used in America.
1t was sent by special carrier from
Essex to Middletown and in place OF
the present day stamp is marked
"Paid 10 cents" in the upper right
hand corner. Among other relics IN
use daily at the Macomber home is a
stilyard and a pair of shears made
by family ancestor in Glasgow,
Scotland more than $50 years ago.

Starting the Farmer Right.

Professor A. G. B. Bouquet of the
vegetable gardening department at
the Oregon Agricultural college was
a visitor in Dallas on Thursday and
Friday. He was advising vegetable
growers as to methods and especially
assisted II. R. Groesser, who is put
ting in an extensive vegetable garden
ON the Frank Brown place, in getting
started scientifically. Professor Bou-
auet says there is a good field in Dal-
las for vegetable growers and that
with the proper attention to growing
they should find it a profitable bust
ness. He predicts success for Mr.,
Groesser in maintaining the largest
vegetable garden in Polk county.

RECORD BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Model Law Recently Passed, Now
In Full Force.

The new system for the compila-
ton of vital statistics which went
into effect in May last may soon be
in operation in Polk county, accord
ing to the opinion of DR.. B. Fl. Nc
Gallon, county health physician
The new lay requires the registration
of births and deaths to district regis
trars instead of with the county
health physician. The county will be
districted by the state board of health
and registrars appointed in the fu-
ture. Pending the appointment of
these officers, the old method Of re-
porting to the county health officer is
still in vogue.
The reorganization of the registra-
ton system is being effected under
the model law, passed at the last
session of the legislature, which is
now in force in fifteen states in the
union. The law in the beginning
was formulated by the census bureau
of the federal department of COM
merce.
The old system was considered too
slow. Under this new system the
state board of health will be in a
position to feel the pulse of all these
districts, and if an unusual number
Of deaths, for instance, is shown the
public will be in a position to ascer-
tain the cause and take steps to re-
move it. 1t is system which has
been in vogue in Europe for 100
years. The new method means new
school of statistics.
Under the new law an undertaken
must obtain permit before he can
bury a body and he can not obtain
a permit without producing death
certificate. The sexton in the ceme-
terry must have a certificate before a
body can be buried.
