SUPPORT FARM
ING MOVEMENT
WARD COUNTY WILL RAISE $5,-
900 FOR AGRICULTURAL WORK
TO CONTINUE BETTER FARM
ING PLANS.

The commissioners late Friday at
ternoon decided to support the Better
Farming movement of Ward county
during the ensuing year. The COM
missioners will levy tax Of one
fourth of one mill for the purpose, CIV
ing the cause about $4,000.
w. A. Peck is continued as agricul-
tural agent. Thomas Cooper, of the
Agricultural College, appeared before
the board and explained how the state
is working hand-in-hand with the gov
eminent in the movement. The state
is now receiving $4,000 annually
from the government and during the
next seven year period, the amount
will be increased.
Petitions signed by four or five hun
dred, protesting against the tax, were
presented to the board, but as the
members concluded that large ma,
jority of our farmers are in favor of
the plan, concluded to support it.

STEFANSSON MAY BE LOST.

Nothing has been heard Of ViIhjal-

for a year and it is believed that he
and his party have been lost. They
left Martin Point a year ago to ex-
plore the unknown Arctic regions.
Stefansson is former student at the
state university at Grand Forks. Ma
tives hunting seals last winter, say
they saw man on floating ice that
may have been Stefansson. The ice
was carried out to sea and the man
no doubt was lost.

FOREST NOTES
Aug. 13, 1915.

An announcement Just made
by the ForestService, covering
the grazing business ON the
National Forest for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915
shows a decrease Of over 100,
900 in the number of sheep
grazed on the Forests of Or
egon, and an increase of APP
proximately $4,000 in the
number grazed in the Forests
of Washington,
For several years the graz
ing business on the Forests
of Oregon has been in excess
of that in Washington, but
the influx of settlers in those
parts of Oregon where good
forage was to be found has
made it difficult for big stock
owners to find sufficient win
ter range for their sheep, |
This fact combined with the |
recent high prices of wool
and mutton, has led many |
sheep men to sell out. In
Washington there has not
only been an increase in set
Element, but also an increase
in available National Forest
which has induced
to go into the sheep
business. Hence, the Oregon
sheep men found the WASH
ngton ranchers ready to buy
heir sheep.

There was great Democratic
jubilation over the discovery
that in the month of June the
number of idle freight cars de-
creased 25, 600. This meant pros
perity." said Mr.. Redfield's little
warblers, forgetting that June is
the annual season of the greatest
movement Of coal and that these
cars were used for that purpose.
Now there comes to light some
comparative figures which are
still further disconcerting. De-
spite a decrease of 25.0O0 idle
cars in June, there were 275. Ill
idle cars in this country at the
end of that month, which was
nearly so, 900 more than a year
ago. and nearly 200, 900 more
than when the present Demo-
cratic Administration came into
power. Railroad men Judge of
business conditions their own

the barometrical reading for bad
business. What, then, shall be
said of 275,O 600?

TO THE WATER USERS OF
OREGON.

The water users of the
State of Oregon, especially
those using water for irriga.
tion, are confronting a seri-
Gus condition. The water
supply Of most OF the streams
of eastern and southern Or
gon is lower this season
than at any time in the past
20 or 80 years. Many people
are depending either directly
Or indirectly upon the flow
of streams for a llvelyhood.
Those having a prior right
to the use of water may legal
ly demand their full supply
as long as it is availa BILE.
This will deprive subsequent
users of their accustomed
supply.
In view of the unusual
conditions which prevail, it
is suggested that irrigators
be as economical as possible
in the use of water in order
that some.water may be left
to mature the crops of subse-
quent appropriations below.
From letters received at
the State Engineers office it
that many water us
ers have the mistaken idea
that TO econOmize in the use
of water 50 that some will
flow down to their nelghbor,
will detrimentally affect their
water right. If the prior APP
proprietor demands his
of flesh this season, it
will cause the ruin OF other
crops.
The State Engineer desires
to call attention to these un-
usual condition and solicits
the harmonious cooperation
among water users to the end
thai injury to the crops thru
shortage of water supply be

SCHOOL FUND is Shy

Another lean year is in store for
the school board. With a $12,148,O00
budget to provide for and $750,0OO
less to meet the budget the finance
committee is up a tree.
After repeated efforts to pare the
budget the finance body of the school
board gave up in despair. A special
committee of eight was appointed,
but without results.
Mrs. Young, sup't of schools, sug-
gested that each of the school teach
ers give two weeks salary. This
would almost make up the deficit.
The rest could be produced by hold
ing up raises provided for in the board
rules.
Unless something better is found
her plan may be adopted. No mat
ter what the solution is the board
must skimp and do without things
needed by the students because some
of the other bodies which get Chicago
taxes are hOgging the more than
their share and because some of our
''best citizens" are not coming across
with their taxes. .
