LONE FARM HOUSE

Charges of Woman Who

Parts, March 3.-The mystery of a
lone farm house which stood for
months unchanged on a conspicuous
knoll in the, very heart Of the battle
zone near Roye, with nothing but
ruins all about it, has just been
tain.

place from the rear and took their
observations. peasant farther
back of the lines suggested that the
owner of the farm had paid the Ger
mans a round SUM to spare his prop
erty and this explanation prevailed
for some time.
One morning as the French ap-
preached the place they were met by
the peasant women whose hut had
been demolished and who had taken
refuge in the cellar Of the farm
house.
"A spy came last night into the
garnet of the farm house. she de-

The Germans had tolerated the use

SHOULD HELP FIND MARKETS

While waiting for its new secretary to arrive from
the East the Commercial Club might investigate the mat
ter of starting commission house for the handling OF
local products alone Farmers complain that they can
not dispose of their products other than grain in Sae
and that vegetables and fruit uncertain Of finding
market that they fear to bring them in 1t is suggested
that commission house that would take of this kind
of produce and find market for it would be of great
benefit to the farmers and incidentally help the trade of
our merchants The individual farmer cannot ship small
amounts Of stuff to Portland other points, but COM
mission house that would gather up the products of all
the farmers who bring their products to town to SELL
could ship at profit The fruit and vegetables could be
sold for at least enough to give the farmer something and
save him either hauling his stuff home giving or
throwing it away The matter is at least worth looking
into and is respectfully submitted to the Commercial
Club as suggestion. 1t might be added in this c0nnec-
ton that it is not just at least, of so much import
ance to the farmers of Marion county to be told shown
how to grow greater better crops as it is to be aided
in finding market for what they grow The Com
mercia Club is now subscribing $500 a year towards
showing the farmers how to grow things and it would be
money we'll spent if that more should be devoted
to finding market for what the farmers have already
grown.
AS matter of fact the Willamette valley farmers are
able to grow many times what they do and this with
out any instruction, and the only thing that prevents
them doing it lack of markets. 1t is stated the present
O. A. c. agent has two flaerng situations offered him
and it might be well for the county to try and get along
without his services until such time market can be
found for the present crops When this is done the ed
cation of the farmer again be taken up by the o. A. c.
which seems refuses to shed its light the benghted
farmers unless the county through and pays for it,
AS the State now pays the college about $1,000 day. 1t
would seem that it might do something in the educational
way without demanding more pay.

last resting place beside the Oregon trail Here under
the Iordy frs she married. and under their whisper

In early life she began her battle for suffrage,
and her treess and ceasless efforts met with glorious
reward when in 1912 the great State of her adoption
voted in favor of it. vigorous mind and strong
stitution fitted her ideally for the pioneer life and en-
abled her to achieve much While her strenuous advo

ROseburg Review: The H. S. Gile
Company this morning placed about 40
women at work in their North Rose
burg prune packing plant. Although
the plant was placed in operation only
few days ago, prunes are coming in
quite rapidly, and it is the prediction
of R. L. Gile, the local manager, that
the seasons run will compare favor
ably with previous years. About
100000 pounds of prunes are now
in the packing house and several
cars will be shipped out in few days.
Roseburg News; B. W. Strong can
give the local sportsmen a merry chase
for the laurels as champion hunter, if
his record of Saturday is any sample.
He was out for a drive in his auto with
Mrs. Strong, and naturally carried a
shot gun for protection in these days
of warden-killing and gypsy hold-ups.
AS they were crossing a field several
China pheasants were chased out and
flew over TO a close thicket, so B. W.
got out of the car and went after them.
On getting close to where they had
lighted he saw the head of one sticking
up over the grass and fired. Not see
ing any birds rise, he went over and
found that he had killed three fine
male birds with the one shot.
