No Fear Now of Tangle.

President Wilson today was still
without information giving ground for
fears that serious international COM
plications might follow the German
submarine attacks.
Information received here at the sum-
mer capital was very meager on the
points in which the President was most
interested, including the question of
warnings to the passengers and crews
on the vessels sunk.

CANYON COUNTY TO
SELL PROPERTY.

A resolution has been passed by
the board of county commissioners
whereby all the property In Canyon
and Gem counties upon which the
county holds tax deeds for unpaid
taxes will be sold at public auction
sometime in June of this year. The
county holds 81 tax deeds to prop
erty in the two counties. 1t is very
probable that the sheriff of Canyon
county will be empowered. to con-
duct the sales, one of which will be
at Caldwell court house and the 9TH
er at Emmett. From the proceeds
Of these sales Gem county will re-
ceive her portion and the balance
turned into the current expense
fund of the county.

WATCHING TEDDY.

In less than a month the National
conventions of the Republican and
Progressive Republican parties will
meet in Chicago to select a candidate
| or candidates as the case may be,
for president of the United States. 1t
is conceded that Col. Roosevelt is the
one choice of the Progressives and
that Mr.. Justice Hughes can have
the nomination at the hands of the
Republican convention if be will con-
sent to make the race. There are
other candidates who may develop
considerable strength if Judge
Hughes Is eliminated from the list
of possible candidates, but it is not
likely that any one Of them will
command enough votes to make
him more formidable as candidate
than some other man whose candi-
dacy has not been announced. For
that reason, Col. Roosevelt, with
the solid support of the Progr essive
convention behind him, with no small
following in the Republican conven-
ton. is bound to be dominating fig
ure in any negotiations between the
factions for unity. 1t is true that |
he may not be able to force his |
nomination as the compromise candi- |
date, but it Is also true that he will |
have to be reckoned with in the
final deliberations and may be able |
to throw the nomination to the man
Of his choice, If indeed he has any
other choice than Theodore Roose-
welt. There seems to be a growing
conviction that Col. Roosevelt does
not want four more years of De-
mocracy under existing conditions
and that he is going to see to the
matter of platform first and will
shape his subsequent actions to har-
monte with the exigency Of the fu-
.ure.

A LESSON IN AVERAGES.

If the town you live in has pop
ulation of 5000 be assured that
it has a contributing population of
little more than 5000 and 5000 adj
ded to 5000 makes 10000. Now d.
vide that 10000 by five, the average
number in each family, and you find
that you have 1000 homes contrib
uting to the welfare and the uplift
Of the community, and in each
home there enters, We hope. local
and, in some few homes,
two local newspapers. Therefore, it
follows that in order to reach all
the homes in a community where
two newspapers are published, both
must be used. A little
study of the law of averages will
correct many errors that get into
our thinking. This law of averages
Is a very fruitful as well as a very
interesting study and helps whole
lot toward placing our ideas on a
sane and common sense basis.

Two hundred prune growers in the

age of 1900, have entered a pool be.

to announcement made Monday by
Robert c. Paulus, manager of the
Salem Fruit union. About 1000 acres
of prunes in this district are out
side the pool. The outlook for the
prune crop in the Willamette Val
ley this year is problematical. Mr..
Paulus says: "In most of the fruit
sections the trees are only now she'd

NOTHING PERSONAL

1t is more than likely that some
fellow who is regular booster for
his hometown merchants, while he
isn't getting enough out of some
of them to pay his postage bills,
wrote the following:
There was an old geezer and he
had lot of sense He started a
business on dollar-eighty cents. The
dollar for stock, and the eighty for
an ad brought him three lovely dol
Bars in day, by dad! Well, he
bought more goods and little more
space, and he played that system
with a smile on his face. The Gus
toners flocked to his tWo-by-four and
soon he had to hustle for a regular
store. Up on the square, where the
people pass he gobbled up corner
that was all plate glass. He fixed
DIP the windows with the best that
he had and told them all about it
in half page ad. He soon had 'em
coming and he never, never quit, and
he wouldn't cut down his ads, one jit.
And he's kept things humping in the
town ever since, and everybody calls
him the Merchant Prince Some say
it's luck, but that's all bunk-why
he was doing business when times
were punk. People have to purchase
and Geezer was wise-for he knew
The way to get m was to advertise"

The total amount of loans in ar

The receipts on grazing leases for

The decrease is accounted for in
the fact that in 1914 a great number
of leases were renewed and from the
further fact that in 1915 a recon
struction of the leasing question has
been going on, resulting in the giving
over to agricultural purposes large
