FOREST NOTES.

1t is estimated that automobiles
carried to the Grand Canyon Nation
al Park last year 10000 persons,
while the number of persons to
reach the Canyon by railroad was
$4,000 or five times as many as in
1914.
That wild burros in the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado are increas-
ing rapidly is the report from
ranger on the Tusayan National For
est, who says that the little animals,
in their search for forage, are finding
their way to tie top in such numbers
as to be nuisance. According to
the Forest Ranger, there are already
thousands of the animals in the
Grand Canyon from Supai to the
north of the Little Colorado.
Approximately So per cent of the
losses of cattle on the National For
est ranges due to poisonous plants,
is caused by tall larkspur. Death
camas, lupine, laurel, sneeze wood,
and rubber wood are responsible for
sheep losses from such cause, while
loco weed is the principal poisonous
plant affecting horses. Last year the
loss from these causes amounted to
about 100000.
New York leads all other States
of the Union in lumber consumption,
with total annual bill for timber of
all kinds of over $100,000,000.

ness to Ralph Hymer, recently from
Portland. Mr.. Davis has accepted
position with the new sugar factory
being established in the Rogue river
Valley, Southern Oregon, and depart
ed this morning for Grants Pass.
Just where he will be located has not
yet been decided. His family will
follow later when Mr.. Davis has be-
come permanently located. Being an
accomplished musician and singer,
Mr.. Davis will be missed from this
community where he has been a
great help in leading and directing
and the best wishes of all 60 with
him for his success in the new field.
Another mad coyote was disposed
of in this vicinity early Monday morn
ing. 1t was killed on the Mat Halvor-
sen place by E. J. Bristow, champion
"gun man" of this place. Mat was
going out to his field just across the
creek south of town, when he met
the coyote which kept coming right
toward him. He had no weapon but
was carrying a hammer which he
threw at the beast and then turned
back to town for help, getting Mr..
Bristow to come to his assistance
with the gun. 1t was scarcely day
light and Ed could not get a good
shot from across the creek, so he
mounted Mats horse and crossed over
to get in closer range. The coyote
was running around in circle and
all the time made shorter the dis
tance between himself and Mr.. Bris-
tow. The animal was not frothing at
the mouth, but it appeared to be not
in the least frightened at the sight of
man and gun, and dismounting from
the horse Mr.. Bristow soon put the
coyote out Of business. 1t showed
every evidence Of being mad.

new MACHINE WILL ACT
UALLY KEEP THE BOOKS

The First National Bank has just
installed a machine that will actually
keep books. The Burroughs Adding
Subtracting Machine is the name of
this mechanical bookkeeper and it
will be used for making entries to the
banks ledgers and writing up de-
positors' statements.
To understand best what this ma
chine means to busy bank one must
see it in actual operation. A great
number of checks naturally come in
to the bank daily and each must pass
through the regular channels. A
record must be made of each one and
the account of each uepositor must
be handled separately and accurate
ly.
Before the advent of the machine,
the detail work of entering amounts
in the ledger and making out depos-
itors' statements was a tiresome and
uncertain task. All checks had to be
listed separately and added up by
hand. All deposits had to be listed
and added and their total combined
with the customers old balance.
When that was done the total of all
checks had to be deducted from the
sum of old balance and deposits to
determine the new balance.
With the new Burroughs, this
work is all done mechanically, except
the actual setting down of the figures
on the keyboard. And the balancing
of an account from old balance on
through checks and deposits to new
balance, is virtually handled In one
operation.
The operator first feeds the Gus
toner's old balance into the machine.
Then he sets down the amount OF
each check; enters the amount of the
deposit; and, after taking a spacing
stroke, depresses the operating bar
with the total key down and the cor
rect new balance is automatically
computed and printed in the right
hand column. The machine also au-
tomaticSlly prints the dates opposite
each list of checks and deposits, and
without any attention from the op-
orator, sets each in the column in
which it belongs.
Another thing it does is to detect
overdrafts instantly, whether the op-
orator notices them or not. When the
checks exceed the deposits and the
old balance, the machine automatic
ally locks and no results can be OBJ
tanned until the lever controlling the
internal mechanism is placed in the
subtract" position, when the over
draft is printed in the proper col
umn with an "OD" sign in red ink.
With the use of the machine the
First National Banks books are kept
more neatly, accurately and efficient
ly than they could possibly be kept
by hand. The machine method cuts
out unnecessary labor and eliminates
mistakes.
In addition to posting the ledgers,
the Burroughs makes out monthly
statements for depositors. Each state
ment shows all the checks and depos-
its of the customer, together with the
balance he has in the bank at the end
of the month. Under this system each
customers account is kept balanced

At meeting Of the city council on
Monday evening it was decided to
wire Immediately for prices on crude
oil and an attempt will be made to
have the oil on our streets at the

The Morrow County Fair Board is
arranging for competitive judging
contest in all the departments for the
coming Fair. The pupils of the var
ious schools in the county will be
given score cards and allowed to
judge the entries on the first day of
the fair; on the second day the reg
ular judge will pass on the entries
and then take up the pupils score
cards and tell them of the mistakes
and score the articles in their pres
ence. F. mers and others interested
will be in this way given an oppor-
tunity to see the weak points in their
exhibits. The judges will also give
lectures on the various exhibits,
showing wherein they may be I'M
proved. Tnls applies TO livestock as
well as other exhibits. Suitable
prizes will be awarded to the school
that scores the highest number of
points in the scoring contest. Pres
ent indications are that the exhibits
at the coming fair will be much bet
ter than ever before and it is the in
tention of the Board to make this
fair the most educational fair ever
held in the county. While the board
is limited in the amount of money
they can award in premiums they are
going to be as liberal as possible and
hope to have large entry list of live
stock, especially dairy COWS and
sheep. The board is arranging for
an entirely new set of attractions and
will give the people the best free at

state. This is a big promise but the
board has always made good on its
promises heretofore and will this
time.

you want it to be will be told by the

will all work together and do our

won Sweepstakes over twenty-five
counties at the Land Show at Port
