Marshal Broad served subpoenes on
several residents of the Falls location
last Wednesday summoning them to
appear in cour ton Friday and testify
as to their knowledge OF booze selling
in house on the Lot 3 property, the
isst one going west along Briar Hln
creek.
This course was taken by the Mar

liquor when the place was raided. In
the Alpha case reported last week, the
officers found the camp deserted when
they arrived there. the persons accus-
ed OF having sold liquor having got
wind OF the story told by the men. II
is said that the men first tried to get
an officers at Alpha and on failing TO
do SO told that when they got to Crys-

The securing OF evidence is such a
difticult matter that the officers are
taking a different tack and intend
putting fellows who say they got liquor

years ago, there seemed to be moth
ing that would successfully rid the
country of the hoppers until the gov
ernment took the matter in hand and
innOculated them with a contagion
that soon put them out of business.
OF course they may take a notion to
go hence when they reach the migra-

and the result to Vegetation will be
disastrous.

DEBT TENDENCY MUST
BE CHECKED.

The tendency throughout the coun-
try is clear. The American people
are inclined to plunge deeper and
deeper into debt. This trait, made
conspicuous from the report of the
census bureau, is sure to be reflected
in higher taxes. The quicker the
people, as a whole, come to realize
what they are doing, the better for
the present generation and for pos
terity.
The Washington legislature has
submitted constitutional amend
ment to limit debt and to limit the
franchise at elections to those paying
taxes.
In Oregon a law has been enacted
limiting annual increase in tax levies
to six per cent, except by special vote
of the people.
A special bulletin Of the u s. Cen
sus bureau shows that in 1913 the
cities, villages, towns, townships,
school districts, drainage, irrigation
and levee districts. fire districts, poor
districts, road districts and all other
minor divisions having power to in
cur debt, reported a new indebted
ness of $3,475,954,353-an increase
of s1,845,884,743, or 1882 per cent
over the total for 1902. A small part
of the increase is doubtless due to a
more complete canvass in the later
year.

EUROPE MUST COME TO AMERI-
CA FOR WHEAT.

Relatively low prices for wheat, as
compared with prices last fall and
winter, are due to scarcity of ships
and high ocean freight rates, and to
the dilatory policy of European buy
ers in placing their orders. If ocean
rates we're normal current Inland
Empire quotations would be 80 or 35
cents a bushel higher, for the ship
rate is that much above the charges
made year ago.
While the European countries can
take their leisure in placing orders
for American wheat, their necessities
will put them in the market before
long. To carry on the war Great
Britain must have ammunition and
wheat. For the moment ammunition
is her more pressing concern, and the
new coalition government is concen-
tering thought, energy and financial
resource on that need.
But human mouths as we'll as can
non must be fed, and the British gov
ernment can not ignore much longer
the country's want of bread. The
London Times takes cognizance of
that fact and editorially admonishes
the government not to neglect longer
the vital problem of the nations food
supply. The idea must be abandon
ed, it says, that Germany Is faced by
starvation. Clearly Germany's food
supply is secured for long period
ahead and it behooves England to
think of her own supply. The recent
fall in the price of wheat is only tenn
porary relief, due to a combination
of circumstances which can not be
expected to continue"
1t is improbable that the allies
will allow wheat to lie long in Amer
ican and Canadian warehouses and
elevators. In time of peace, when
Great Britain lives from hand to
mouth, its yearly imports range from
O0,000,0O0 to 100000 bushels.
They were 221,232,0OO bushels in
1910, 207,919,000 in 1911, and 229,-
10000 in 1912 1t would seem
sound policy for the government to
lay in years reserve supply if pos
sible, buying 400, 100000 bushels in
stead of 100000, 900.
But Britains imports are less than
half the normal European require
ment Belgium in 1912 imported
71,260,000 bushels, Denmark, s.
100000, France 26,69S,000, Italy
5S,561,000, Holland 1901, 200,
Switzerland 2O,O66,OOO, and the uni
ted kingdom of England Scotland
and Ireland 229, 9,160,000, total by
countries of 4S9.260,000 bushels.
While the worlds wheat crop will
be greater this year than last, the de-
sire of the European countries to ac-
quire reserve stocks would be keen
enough to maintain prices if shipping
conditions were but half way normal
Shortage of ships is a far greater
bear influence than the prospective
abundant yield.-Spokesman-Review.

ELECTION LAW CHANGES.

Hereafter judges and clerks for
county and state elections will be Sc
lected by the county clerk. instead OF
by the county commissioners. This
is according to a change made in the
election laws by chapter 1926, laws of
1915.
Chapter S26 also reduces the num-
ber constituting an election board
from six to five. Formerly there were
three judges and three clerks on
each board. Hereafter there will be
two judges and three clerks.
Anoherc hange made in the cleo
tion laws eliminates the requirement
that voters must give their age when
registering. This was very objec-
tionable to many women voters. All
that is required niw is to make af-
fidavit that the voter is over q years
old.
Varying opinions have been ex-
pressed on the provision authorizing
the county clerk to select the list of
election judges and clerks. The list
must be approved by the county COM
missioners. One view Is that the
change gives the county clerk great
deal of patronage, although petty in
nature, and may be used by the clerk
to further his political interests.
Another view is that the change is
in the interest of efficiency, as under
the old law the work of selecting the
judges and clerks was largely dele
gated by the county commissioners to
an employe. 1t is contended that
when difficulties arise on election day
a county official should be responsible
and be on hand rather than an en-
nlOyp

THE PASSING HORSE.

A great horse show has just closed
in Washington, D. c. 1t is described
as the finest ever held south of New
York City. But it seems it was linn
tied to carriage and buggy teams,
polo ponies and military hunters.
There was no intention apparently to
encourage the raising of fine horses
by the average man, but only such as
suit this or that mans fad and to
give Washington society, which for
the fair meeting, included the fash
ionable residents of Maryland and
Virginia cities an agreeable outing
the finest animal display being in the
fashionable seats in the grand stand.
Has the horse come to be merely
an ornament,
On the small farm the horse is a
necessity; for cavalry and artillery he
is still indispensable, but for the
world at large, the odor of the stable
seems to be giving away before that
of gasoline. When Miriam led in
that triumph song, one refrain was:
THE horse and the rider hath he
thrown into the sea-" But that was
a temporary affair only, this later
one begins to look like the beginning
of the end; as though, indeed, the
horse would soon, even among the
trumpets, cease to say: "Ha Hal" or
to smell the battle afar off, and as
though when another son of Nimshi,
who was Jehu, comes driving fur
iously," he will sound his "Honk!
Honk!" he will run down the first
old lady that he finds attempting to
cross the street.
And when that day comes the
hearts of men will harden and when
he is tapped ON the chest his heart
will give back metallic ring as
when one stubbs his toe upon brass
cuspidor. r.-Goodwins Weekly.

A NIGHTMARE TO BUSINESS MEN

The United States congressman
and Senator's are at home making
hot-air speeches at picnfcs and cele-
brations.
They have appropriated all the
money in sight, enacted war taxes
and more laws to cripple industries
and shipping.
They have created a new indus
trial commission in charge of nation
al labor agitators to probe business
and capital.
They have multiplied Offices and
passed law to drive the last Amer
ican steamship lines out of business
With three-fourths of the territory
of Oregon and Washington in forest
reserves, the waterpowers are to be
taken over.
These Congressman and Senators
get from $4,000 to $4,000 year
and are constantly reaching out for
more.
Is it any wonder that government
is a nightmare to business men? ?

''BACK TO THE FARM" MOVE
MFNT.

In the Dominion of Canada there
are increasing evidences of a growth
in the return to the farm movement.
The greatest force of the movement
is felt Just at present, in the prov
ince of Manatoba, but in the prov
inces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and
British Columbia it is also notice
able. Hard times in many industrial
lines growing out of the European
war, and Canada's contribution to its
cost, largely explain the movement,
which promises soon to force the
government into throwing open some
large tracts of land east Of Winnepeg,
heretofore held closed, but which
offer splendid opportunities either
for farming or stock raising.
So great has been the rush toward
the West, of those native or natural
lied citizens of Canada who are 60
ing to the soil for subsistence which
the industrial lines are not now af-
fording, that the railway rates for
spring homesteader or settler excur-
sions have had to be slightly in
GItdStu. Ilt ocfCi Al hNh
is aiding the movement in every pos
sible way, and particularly by induc-
ing the railway lines to carry the
workers at minimum rates to points
where they may get start in crop
raising.
The movement will undoubtedly be
reflected in the next census taken OF
Canadian cities and towns. Such a
movement is already being reflected
in this country, in mid-decennial es-
Inmates of city population. Some
cities show an actual loss, others a
stationary point, and still others a
percentage of gain far below the av-
erage of recent years. At last the
"back to the farm" cry is being an.
swered, not from inclination but

to show the loyalty Of the citizens of
the big city to President Wilson in
the present crises he and the nation
are facing. The demonstration is GER
tainly very worthy one, and the ex-
ample set by Portland should be fol-

under load of responsibility at the
present time that is almost beyond
human power to endure, yet he is
meeting the crises in a wonderful
way; being the man of the hour. And
what an encouragement it is to
know that he has the loyal support
Of the citizens of the great nation be-
hind him to back him up and sustain
him in his efforts to maintain peace
and uphold the dignity and rights of
his people with honor. There should
be no man among us to stand on par
ty lines. Mr. Wilson is our president,

cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
is mussy and troublesome. For so cents
you can buy at any drug store the ready

sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn

another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant You will also discover dan
