When other business had been dis

and should be included.
Mr.. Primm also announced that the
Retailers association had a cash bal
ance of S23 to turn over in addition to
Office furniture, and the credit bureau,
which was to be kept up as part OF
the Chamber Of Commerce.

of both these organizations were as
sumed by the Chamber of Commerce,

tailers' association ceased to be.
Secretary Primm announced that
the membership now totaled 326 and

here shortly, and talk on this subject.

100000 for vocational education, to be
apportioned among the states, in pro-
portion to the amount they themselves
vote for this same work, was approved.
The creation of new federal board,
to eXpend this money, was not favored,
and this part of the referendum was
voted down.

favor of national defense, fsvoring
both a bigger army and bigger navy.
In regard to the army the meeting
went on record for all amendments,
even to the one providing for compuls-

II the confounded old bachelors on
the north side would only let the Pilot
do its share in giving counsel and have
the rest marry and get to raising fam
lilies there might be some equality Of
population between the two sides
reached and then ward difficulties
would cease. Let's cremate a certain
mum Der of bachelors on the south side.
Kill all the dogs on the north side and
then declare lasting peace.
The city council created new ward
by dividing the Fifth on the line of
Washington street, at its meeting on
Monday last. The Pilot was inclined
to blame the council for precipitating
this conflict but the actions OF that
body were calm and discreet when
compared with the incorporate and
violent language of those not members
OF the council. There is now no cause
for dispute and the sooner all recollec-
tion Of what passed is forgotten the
better. No heed should be given to
these spitfires who want things to be
run to suit one side or the other. LET
US have peace"

The following is an address to the
citizens of Manitowoc by the newly
elected president
To the Citizens of Manitowoc.
AS president of the newly organized
Manitowoc Chamber of Commerce,
feel an appeal at this time opportune.
My appeal to the citizens, not to any
one or clique of people in particular,
but to the citizens of Manitowoc
for their hearty support and CO.
operation in the move that has just
been launched for the welfare of
Manitowoc. If there has been any
time in the history of Manitowoc, an
oportune time to show your good will
towards the place you call your home,
now is the time. Let us forget past
grievances and petty feelings and be-
come one great family OF citizens
striving for the welfare and success
of all. There is only one place in the
world by the name of Manitowoc.
That alone ought to prompt us to put
our shoulder to the wheel, and strive
to make that one Manitowoc more
than name only, but one of the best
little cities In the world, city that
others can copy from. Then it will
not be long until we may be counted as
one of the best large cities in the world.
Citizens, il all is true that we hear
about Manitowoc's advantages over
other cities from strangers and nom
residents, then surely this too, ought
to prompt us to see what is back OF it
all and to make use Of the advantages
we find we have. And the only way
Is to have you citizens get back OF the
Manitowoc Chamber OF Commerce
not only by paving your membership

smallest part you can do--but your

HERDER FACES MUIR.
DER CHARGE IN BAKER

| After shooting down J. L. Eggers
in dispute over sheep which he was
tending, Bert Hopkins left the body
in care of another fellow herder then
gathered his sheepherder's outfit and
went to Durkee, where he gave him
self up Tuesday afternoon.
After telling his story the man
nearly collapsed under nervous
breakdown. Hopkins is only "a
years old. He was herding sheep for
Amos Roetther, and was near Eggers'
homestead at l O'CLOCK, when Eggers
appeared and ordered him to move
his sheep, although Hopkins declares
the animals were on government
range.
He says Eggers seized him, but that
he wrenched himself free and retreat
d toward the sheep, Eggers following
him pelting him with rocks and ours
ing him. Without taking aim Hopk-
ms says he fired his rifle, intending
only to cause Eggers to desist. As
the crack of the rife sounded he was
horriied to see Eggers stagger and
topple over to the ground. The bull
let had entered his chest, supposedly
piercing the heart.
District Attorney Goodwin, Deputy
Sheriff Nelson, Constable Jefferies
and Coroner West went from Baker
Durkee and took Hopkins in charge
then went to the scene of the shoot
ing, seven miles beyond, and held an
inquest. Eggers is survived by a
widow and three children.
Hopkins will be held for the grand
jury and probably tried on man
slaughter charge.
On request of the defense arraign-
ment of Hopkins has been continued
over to Monday. The desire of the
prisoner to get additional witnesses
from Durkee is the cause of the de-
lay. John l.. Rand is representing
Hopkins.-Blue Mt. American.

EXHIBITS WILL EX,
CELlF0RMERF FAIRS
Fourth Annual County Fair Gives
Promise OF Biggest Successful
Grande Elks' Band Big
Attraction.
By w. w. Smead

The Fourth Annual Morrow Coun-
ty Fair, insofar as products go, should
be the best ever held in the county.
Grains are better than for several
years and the farmers should and no
doubt will prepare samples of the va
rious grains ior this Fair In doing
so they should have the bundles not
less than 4 inches in diameter;
threshed grains should be in not less
than one half bushel lots as this is
the amount required at the state fair
and if your threshed grain is pure and
of good quality it can be entered at
the state fair with the assurance that
it will take down some of the prizes
offered. AS for vegetables and fruits,
especially is this true of potatoes.
Morrow county should have one Of
the best exhibits of potatoes ever
shown by the county and that means
much. Special prizes are being Of
fered for the best general farm ex-
hibit, also for the best dry land farm
exhibit and many other specials are
being arranged for, such as a colt
show, judging contests between the
boys and girls of the schools of the
d4unty, and a number of lectures are
being booked on matters pertaining
to the farm. Greater stress is being
given to educational features than
ever before. In the way of amuse-
ment the Board promises the people
more and better free amusement than
Is given at any county fair in the
state. This is big promise but we
mean what we say. So far we have
under contract the Elks Band of If
teen pieces, from La Grande. This is
one of the best bands in the state and
YOU are assured Of a musical treat.
We also have under contract Herbert
A. Munter of Seattle, with his special
aeropane with which he makes all
kinds of fancy stunts. such as tommy
trot, figure eight and death dive. II
you want to see some thrillers come
and see this daredevil, death-defying
aviator. He will fly Thursday and
Friday. Other attractions are under
consideration, all of the same high
class.
The Board is going to build good
substantial stock sheds with individ-
ual stalls for use of the stock men
during the fair making it much more
convenient and safe for those who
wish to exhibit high priced stock. We
expect to make improvements in all
parts of the fair and if the people
give us the same cooperation this
year that they have in the years past
the fair will be the best county fair
in the state, and that is what Morrow
county should have for having taken
sweep stakes at the Land Show in
Portland last year. We have a repu-
tation to sustain and the Fair Board
is going to do its part towards keep
ing this reputation.

By W. H. LYTLE.

At the present time the so-called
Walking Disease seems to be in some
sections quite active. No sure cure
has yet been found Some apparent
ly beneficial treatments have been
worked out however. The disease is
such that when once it manifests it
self medical aid is difficult It is like
Infantile Paralysis, there is yet few
things to be learned about it. It
would seem that the malady is form
of infection that comes out of the
ground. The organism that We sus-
pect as being responsible for this all
ment is found everywhere and under
normal conditions does not produce
disease. But through some chain Of
circumstances it becomes infectious.
1t has lately been brought out that
the Bot parasite of the stomach Of
horses is either highly poisonous
within itself or possesses some poison
that works in conjunction with other
on-disease-producing organism and
facilitates their producing a diseased
condition. 1t is possible that the bots
themselves produce the poison, al
though it seems to me quite improba-
BILE. We attempt first to vaccinate and
protect horses against the particular
organism, that of Hemorrhagic Sep
ticemia, then we attempt to rid the
system of the excess of bots. Bots
are very difficult to get out of the
stomach they are attached to the in
ner lining by sort of double hooked
snout that is burrowed into the lining
of the stomach. To be effective bot
remedies should be given on an emp
ty stomach. We recommend giving
one-half ounce to three quarters of an
ounce of Tartar Ementic dissolved in
water. 1t can be given by placing it
in the drinking water Animals al

RURAL CREDITS ACT
WILL h|D FARMERS
Measure Now Pending Would Mean
Annual Savings of Over $75O,0O0.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, July 1S.--An annual saving of
interest and mortgage cost in excess
of three-quarters of million dollars
annually, is expected to result from
the operation of the pending rural
credits bill if it is enacted by the peo-
pie at the next annual election. But
this is not all" says DR.. Hector Mac
pherson, of the 0. A. G. Bureau of
Organization and Markets, in discuss
ing this bill. "It means an end to
the perpetual worry and expense Of
mortgage renewing. 1t means an
end to foreclosing, lost homes and
blighted hopes. 1t means better
equipped farms and greater rural
prosperity. This in turn means more
business for railroads, factories and
stores and more work for laborers in
our cities.
Although agriculture is the basic
industry of Oregon, our farmers are
now far from being prosperous. In
addition to high interest rates the
long and expensive freight hauls to
distant markets and inflated land val
ues have placed Oregon agriculture
under an almost unbearable handicap.
1t is estimated that the average Ore
gon farm is not making wages at two
percent on the investment represent
ed.
"The farm debt Of Oregon secured
| by real and chattel mortgage is es-
timated conservatively at $4,000
| 900. On this debt the farmers are
paying an average rate of about 4
per cent interest. Adding to this the
cost of renewal and commission the
average rate is probably but little un-
der 9 Il per cent.
1T is the purpose of the proposed
constitutional amendment to take the
| pul Oul VI lllC lul Ii illOi Cu-
! bus of the state. 1t proposes to give
| the farmer period of So years in
which to pay his mortgage. The ac-
tual rate of interest is per cent. The
cost of title and land appraisal varies
from $40 to $50. The farmer pays
off one percent of the original sum
borrowed each year, that is a pay
ment of six per cent year will be
sufficient to pay the interest and cost
of operation and wipe out the debt
entirely in a period Of thirty-siy
years.
"The system is inexpensive. The
loan funds will be supplied on the
credit of the state, which can obtain
lower rates of interest and better
terms than any of its subdivisions or
any individual. The cost of opera
tion in loaning the state school funds
is only two-tenths Of one per cent and
this system will be handled in much
the same way by the state land
board"

Claud Devine is young farmer
north of lone who certainly deserves
success, and if hard licks will bring
it he will come out on top Desiring
to get start in the farming game
for himself, he leased three quarter
sections of land last fall and begun
operations. He had no teams and
implements to work with and had to
hire his plowing done. Getting
half section plowed he hired drill
and man and teams to help and got
the grain in in good season this
spring, the hired man running the
drill during the day and he putting
the machines through during the
night. His crop has matured we'll
