[ MAXWELL WHEELS
 STOLEN FROM CARS

Apparently Maxwells are becoming so desirable that people will even stoop to stealing them: for Manager Maurice C'Neill, of O'Neill Auto and Supply Company reports that five wheels had reen stolen out of the last carload of MaXwells received here but a day or two ago. He says that ke would not be at all sur prised it the next carload shipment came in with an engine and body missing, as the thief will probably try to complete his car in time to enjoy few trips before the snow flies.
 These are busy days at the O'Neill garage, which like many other Max well agencies is having a hard time to get enough cars to supply the de- mand. A new feature that will appear to all Maxwell owners is that a num- Der of changes and improvements have been made here recently in the service department A. H. Fields, of Lebanon and New Castle. Indiana, a man who has fad over five years factory and service experience, has been brought here to take charge of the service department at the O'Neill | garage. Fields understands every point in the construction and adjust ment of the Maxwell, and he will un- douhtedlv prove a most valuable ad- ditior to the organization.

WATKINS TAMES AN
 UNRULy FRESHMAN

When R. A. Watkins, of the Wat kins Printing company, yesterday let go of a long abused patience and slugged o. A. Hutchins, pressman in his employ, a much larger man, he perhaps did not know that he was manhandling a man of erudition with the manners of a tough. Hutchins is one of the many who bask under the trees of knowledge with which the city hall plaza abounds and where the intellectuals there gathered discuss things as they think they ought to be. Hutchins has been one of the most forward of the discussers and he stops all arguments with the remark: I'm a economic student. l am. Now wot dye tink of dat?"
 His encounter with Watkins was the culmination of a long attempt to run the business of the printing shop and to change conditions and generally making himself obnoxious to his em- ployer Watkins could stand it no longer and engaged his pressman with a heavy pair of office scissors used as a club. One of the grievances of Wat kins was the oft-repeated threat of Hutchins to sic de union" on him.

How to Save Two Hundred Million g
Year and Insure Development of
Western States.

Discussing an editorial in the Spo-
kane Spokesman-Review under the
heading, Railroads want Water
Power for Electriication of their
lines" the writer gives the one great
reason why all our water powers
should be developed.
He refers to the saving annually
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul railroad by the use of electricity
as over the use of coal of over ST.
200, 900.
The writer further states that if all
the western railroads were to use
electric power they would use $780,
100000 worth of electricity per an
mum, making a per annum saving
over coal of s129,600,000.
| In other words, if the water powers
of the west were allowed to be de
veloped there would be saved per an
mum narly $20O,0O0,000 in coal ir
the one item of railroads.
If the other industries of the west
! use as much coal as the railroads
there would be another $200,000,00(
coal saved annually or an annua
saving for posterity Of $400,000,00(
in coal for the west alone.
1t begins to look as if the coal bar
ons have something to do with the
fight on our water power develop
ment. The withdrawal of coal lands
by the Interior Department works
out to the same effect but you never
hear a word about the coal monopoly
What a wonderful thing it woult
be for each of the Pacific coast states
if fifty million dollars were spent ir
each of them in the next ten years fol
the development of our water powers
| 1t not only would add that amoun
to the taxable property of each state
but would bring in new manufactur
ing establishments as nothing elst
could do.

In this issue of The Gazette-Times
F. w. Kehrli, of LaGrande, state
dairy agent, has an article relating to
creameries. Mr. Kehrli is specialist
in this line of industry and knows
whereof he speaks He believes the
cooperative creamery which is about
to be started in Heppner should he d
large factor in stimulating the dairy
industry in this section. Mr.. Kehrll
alls attention to the manner in which
the local creamery has been organ
lied. None of the money subscribed
went to high priced promoter, buV
will stay at home to be used in buy
ing equipment or kept for working
capital. In conclusion Mr.. Kehrl
states the two most important factors
| for successful creamery are that II
must handle considerable volume ol
business and it must have ready
market for its product. Another i'm
portant factor is good cows. Dairy
men should read this article by all
means.

THE INDUSTRIAL CLUBS AND
THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Fair Board wish to call atten-
tion again to the fact that pupils who
are of club age must do project work
if they expect to compete in the con-
tests at the fair. This is the plan
adopted in nearly all the counties in
this State and also in Washington.
There will be some prizes in mis-
cellaneous class for those who are
under nine years of age. The reason
for adopting the above plan is to en-
courage the club work. The State
Superintendent and his field workers,
Mr.. Maris and Mr.. Harrington, and
the Extension workers of the 0. A. c.
feel that the only way to get really
valuable work done in the industrial
lines, from an educational standpoint
is to have-it done along the project
lines. If any clubs or individuals
have not received the information
sheets from the o. A. c., they should
write to Prof. H. G. Seymour, Corval
lis, for them. The bulletins furnished
this year are of more than usual val
ue.
Some inquiries have come in in re
gard to the ''tin can irrigation
scheme mentioned by this papel
some time ago. This is a plan usec
by little Jap down in Texas las
year. He planted his garden in rows
Between the rows, few inches apar
he set tin cans, such as tomato cans
in the ground until they were almos
buried. He had used a can opene
which left sort of lid, which c9ul
be closed SO as to keep the waite
which he put into the cans, fror
evaporating so rapidly. However
this is not essential where the waite
supply is not very limited. He ha
punched two small holes in the side
Of the cans just above the bottom
These holes were opposite each othe
and next to the rows. The waite
oozed out of these holes, thus maxim

top of the ground worked fine, form
ing dust mulch which preyente

counts given, he raised some wonder
full vegetables. The only water whic
the Jap had for his garden was tn
waste water from the washing {
hands and faces, the dish water, an
the suds and rinse water used
washing the clothing of the member
of the family. The part of the coul
try in which he lived was exceedingl
dry and hot. The scheme may /
