the following quantities: Not less
than 500 identical pieces of third

HARVEST GIVES BIG YIELDS.
Polk County and Nearby Territory
Showing Good Threshing Results

The harvest reports are bearing out
the preseason optimistic feeling
about the crops, particularly the oats.
The late rains have helped the spring
oats and the winter oats sown in the
spring. Wheat is averaging about the
same as other years. Some Of the
yields so far show high averages. Pric-
es are holding up, wheat contracting
at Sill and oats at 4S cents.
Seven threshing outfits are at work
around this neighborhood. W. E.
Martin is in Salt Creek; Russell and
Monday are operating in Gopher Val
ley and Bellevue; Earl Conner is in
the Ballston district; Thomas Mer-
rick is around Harmony and Mill
Creek; T. j. Werth is at Grand
Ronde; Leslie, at Willamina; Brown
and Heider are close to Sheridan;
Duerst Brothers are at Bellevue;
Schuman, Russell and Mckinley are
in Gopher Valley; Adam Gutbrod is
near Sheridan; Casey Brothers in Go
pher Valley; and Pettyjohn and
Wooden are at Butler.

GUARDSMEN ARE BACK
COMPANY L WENT THROUGH
SALEM THIS MORNING.
Troops Are Happy to Get Back-Vis-

Withycombe.

Home again! Oregon boys, mem
bers Of the United States army in
camps in southern California the past
ten weeks, are at Clackamas today
They are home, probably for good
Whether they will be discharged OF
kept in camp at Clackamas for some
time has not been announced. 1t is
likely they will not be kept longer at
the state concentration camp than
necessary to complete the mastering
out as the daily expense Of main
taining the troops is enormous.
The Third Battalion passed through
Ashland last night at 1870, and
through Salem early this morning.
The boys of this battalion were sched-
uled to arrive at Clackamas this morn
ing at $50. The First Battalion was
at Roseburg at 8:45 last night.
According to the officers in com
mand the troops are in the best of
condition. The sanitary troops are
given a good deal of credit for the
cleanliness of the camps and the lack
of any disease epidemics.is largely the
result of their work. Governor Witty
combe met the troops of the First
Battalion at Grants Pass yesterday
and thanked the men for the splendid
showing they have made for the state.
Every town along the Southern Pa
cifc turned out to greet the boys.
Colonel Mclaughlin has announced
that visitors will not be welcome at
Camp Withycombe until after Friday
of this week as it will take the troops
that long to become settled. After
Friday the relatives of the troops and
the public in general will be welcom-
ed. An announcement will be made
when the camp is in readiness.

FRIENDS SHOWER WITH SHEARS
orville Butler of Monmouth Already
Has Received Fifteen Pairs.

Portland friends of 0rville Butler,
prominent pioneer Of Monmouth, Ore,
think they have a good joke on him.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Butler visited
his son, Dean, at Oak Grove, and as
sisted in clipping the wings of some
obstreperous chickens. When the task
was finished he pocketed the family
shears and carried them home to Mon
mouth.
He was the target of many a good
natured jest as result of his absent
and on his birthday which
Just passed Mr.. Butler received ID
pairs of shears. The packages are
still coming in and each new one
brings a bright new pair of shears, he
wrote to Portland friends.

wheat is going out Of the county.
Clover, Mr.. Sears says, is consider
ably fouled with honey dew, but wash
ing and cleaning the clover is prac-
ticable. Mr.. Sears had some of his
clover washed a year ago and says the
result was good.
Among the threshing crews that are
operating in the Mccoy territory are
those of S. L. Stewart, Martin and
Blodgett, Roy Allen, and Henry Gil
liam. "When the war is over it is
my prediction that valley farmers
will not sow wheat. Wheat does not
do as well here as it does in the up
lands and when the prosperity after
the war comes other crops will pay
the Willamette valley farmers, bet
ter" says Mr.. Sears.

RAIN DETE;RS PICKING


IF the rain will only make itself
conspicuous by its absence hop pick
ing in Polk county and vicinity will
begin today or tomorrow. Sunday was
a real day of prayer for the grow
ers and the thousands of pickers al
ready in camps around Dallas, Inde-
pendence and other county towns
Sunshine is what the grower and pick
er alike crave.
So far the rain has not damaged the
crop but it makes the picking and liv-
ing conditions of the pickers very dis
agreeable Overhead expense is high
for the grower or contractor and ev-
cry day in which the vines are not
stripped represents an actual loss to
the management of the yards.
The price around Dallas is 40 cents
a box with one or two Rickreall yards
offering so cents. Most of the yards
here have more pickers than they need
though few are still pinched for the
necessary labor. Among the local
yards which have scheduled their OPP
ening for tomorrow are Coad and
Grant IS, All Goes, and Browns.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE Been
RAILROAD STRIKE WOULD NEG
ESsITATE OLD CONDITIONS.
John G.. Brown From The Past Draws
Picture of Dallas if Trainmen
Walked Out.

Not, indeed, in this case, "the sad,
dest of words, it might have been, u
but the possible state of Dallas condi-
tions if the railroad operating employ
es had struck, were described by John
G.. Brown yesterday. Back, back, over
half a century, local history was ex-
amined for the picture. Of the time
when Dallas consisted of buildings
easily counted on the fingers of both
hands, Mr.. Brown spoke. In those
days bad roads connected Dallas with
Portland in the summer and no roads
were passable very far in the winter
merchandise was freighted from Port
land in summer and shipped to Eola
or Independence in the winter and
thence transferred to Dallas; trans
portation figured in at the rate of a
cent a pound on all goods. W. C.
Brown, father of John G. Brown, own
ed general store and John Brown
drove the team or double team
to Portland for his father. J. W. Mes
NTH had the postoffice, was county
clerk and ran a store. Postage was
charged if one couldn't paw for it on
receipt of letters or packages.
Though it was SO years ago since
Mr.. Brown freighted his last "twentv
hundred'' from Portland. modern
freiehtinp conditions with automobiles
and fine roads were not SO very far
AWAY with the prospect of a railroad
tie-up in evidence last week. And the
old freighters would have delighted
to have hitched up their span and gee
and bawed their way to Portland

ENTHUSIASM IS LACKING.
RECALL MEETING FAILS TO AT
TRACT AN ATTENDANCE. L
Charge of Extravaganza and Irregu-
larities Evidently Not Endorsed
by Taxpayers of County.

The meeting of the Polk County
Taxpayers league called for the court
house last Saturday afternoon to fur
ther consider the recall of the county
judge and county commissioners was
postponed indefinitely when an ad-
journment was taken because of want
of a quorum, there being less than a
half dozen members of that organiza-
tion present. The purpose of the
meeting was to provide funds for car
rying the movement to successful con
summation, and to consider the ques-
tion of eliminating the name Of Judge
Teal from the petitions, leaving Com
missioners G.. A. Wells and Clyde
Beckett, there being serious doubt
in the minds of the promoters of
winning victory at the polls in No
vember with his name included. IA
When the hour for the meeting ai'-
rived Messrs. J. X. Sears and F. Il.
Rogers, the latter president of the
County Farmers union, were practi-
cally the only interested ones pres
ent, and after waiting limited time
the little party separated with the
remark that the farmers were too
busy at this time to give the matter
the consideration that it otherwise
would have had. 1t was steadfastiy
maintained, however, that the under
taking would still be prosecuted; that
the petitions would be in circulation
within short time, and that the
question of recalling at least two mem
bers of the county court would be be-
fore the people at the fall election,
The charges against the court are

lures, the promoters holding that the
Detterment was useless one at this
time, besides having irregularities
Herewith. The weight of
5he movement rests upon Commission
er Beckett, and there are those who
ire inclined to the belief that with
,he elimination Of Judge Teal and the
'urther fact that Commissioner Wells
;erm of office expires January l, he
would become an easy victim. On the
,ther hand Mr.. Beckett has many sup
Dorters, even aside from those who
ire against the recall on general prin-
,iples, and he is not worrying to any
,xtent regarding the undertaking.
From an unbiased standpoint, other
