VEGA FARMERS CLUB HOLDS
SUCCESSFUL PICNIC

The second annual picnic Of the Vega
Farmers Club was held last Wednes-
day at the Abrahamson tree claim, five
miles northwest Of this city. The affair
proved to be splendid success The
officers Of the club greeted a large
crowd Of visitors, who came to enjoy
the day in the beautiful grove and to
meet the best people on earth, namely
the members Of the Vega Farmers
Club. Every family had provided it
self with well filled lunch baskets and
it is needless to say that none passed
the day in hunger.
President Chas. j. Anderson, Of the
club, presided and in a few neat and
well chosen words bid the audience
welcome.
He next introduced w. F. Powell, of
this city, who made the speech of the
day. Mr.. Powell's talk proved to be an
interesting one and was well received
by an appreciative audience
At different intervals of the day the
Alvarado band furnished music and
judging from the applause which they
received, the work of this amateur
musical organization has not been in
vain. =
A ball game between the Boxville
and Alvarado clubs featured the
athletic program and in which the Al
varadoites bettered the former collec-
tion of ball tossers by score Of II to
10.
In the evening Sinclair Macarthur
read '"The Prisoners Plea in a most
pleasing and effective manner. The re-
mainder of the evening was devoted to
games in which the younger element of
the club participated.
Taking it all in all, this event proved
to be splendid example Of the fine com
immunity y'spirit which now as rule pre-.
walls among the tillers of the soil in
Marshall county and Of the Red River
Valley in general

ONE LOAD OF WOOL
is WORTH $3,OOO.OO


The largest load Of wool ever
hauled into this city was brought
in Monday morning from the p.
Frost Spaulding Farm. There were
5000 pounds of the feecy material
packed tightly in bales on the large
rack. Owing to the high prices
which wool now commands, 1T can
easily be seen that sheep on the
farm are paying proposition and
that especially have they proven to
be so In this section of the state.
1t Is estimated that this one load
of wool alone will bring the farm
company In the neighbOrhOOd of
$3,OOO.OO.
Farmers would do well to raise
more sheep.

WARREN RED CROSS
SOCIETY ORGANIZED
Officers Elected at Enthusiastic Meet
ing at High School Auditorium,
Tuesday Evening.

The organization of a Warren Red
Cross chapter was perfected Tuesday
evening at the high school auditorium.
While there was only small attend
aEce at the meeting, good deal of in
terest and enthusiasm was manifested
by those who were fortunate enough
to attend.
The singing of the Star Spangled
Banner by the audience, led by the
high school chorus was the first num-
Der on the program, after which DR.. G..
s. Wattam, the presiding officer, called
the meeting to order and in few
words gave an account of the import
ance and magnitude of the Red Cross
work. He stated, that the temporary
officers Of the Red Cross in Warren had
received authority from the state or
ganizatiOn to organize local chapter
and to establish auxiliary chapters in
the different towns of the county.
Mr.. A. N. Eckstrom was introduced
next and urged that the work of or
ganization be commenced Immediately
and that it was not necessary to wait
for further orders from the state or
ganization as they are so busy with
other matters at present, that very lit
tie time is given to the organization of
chapters in the smaller cities and vii
lagos. Mr.. Eckstrom also presented a
few figures regarding what the Red
Cross will do with the first 100000, 900
that they have recently raised. This
amount, he said, will be spent in six
months for 3S base hospitals for the
army and for the navy. Each hos
pital will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. There will be "a physicians
and SO nurses with each hospital.
Thirty-six ambulance companies each
employing 26 people and 2,30O automo-
biles and auto trucks for field service
will be used.
Rev. David Samson was next called
upon and in few well chosen words
spoke of the large amount of good that
the Red Cross was doing on the battle
lines. Mr.. Samson said, "The spirit Of
the Red Cross, when it goes into the
battlefield is not spirit of enmity, but
rather spirit of charity and friendli-
ness''
Mrs. II. /. Yetter, of Stephen, was
the next speaker and encouraged, the
local ladies in their work of organiza-
ton. She urged the members not to
get discouraged with the red tape con-
nected with the national and state Or
ganizations, but to keep on working
and great results will be brought about.
She said, that one should not have the
idea that the Red Cross is an organi-
zation only for women, but that the
men were needed as members as well
as the ladies'
Next the election OF officers took
place and DR.. G. S.. Wattam was elect
ed chairman; DR.. II. NJ. Blegen, vice
chairman; Mrs R. G.. Mathwig, secre-
tary and III. L. Wood, treasurer. #. G.
Bake, Mrs A. A. Ayres, Mrs. r. III.
Clark and Mrs. Truxell were elected as
members of the executive committee.

High Price Of Coal
In Sound Cities Is
Credited to Expenses =

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE price
of coal il Tacoma has advanced on
the average of So a ton since spring.
Not since 1901 have prices been
SO high
There is no immediate hope of prices
coming down.
Rather they will continue to climb
during the winter.
Before the winter is over, it may be
hard to get coal at ALL
This is what dealers and operators
have to say today about the coal sit
uation here.
Where you could have had ton of
Penton nut coal, for instance, put in
your cellar for IS year ago, it now
costs 81. King Nut has jumped from
$5 to So; bituminous lump $3.50 to So,
and so on down the line.
From the operators comes the cx-
llanatioh that the rise in prices is at
tributed to the tremendously increased
cost of production.
A number of mines have been com
PEELED t. close down, they say, because
Of high cost of operating and because
men are not available, even at high
wages.

HOP GROWERS WILL
MEET NEXT MONDAY
Get Together to Discuss Con-
GtiOns Following Recent
Jump In Prices

The Hop Growers association will
meet next Monday at the offices in
the Bush-Breyman building on Com
mercial street to discuss the unusual
conditions brought ON during the past
year or so. One of these is the great
amount of hops that have been plowed
up this year, estimated at rs per cent
of the holdings of the farmers. With
but hardly one fourth of their land in
hops, the proposition will come up as
to whether the association viii con-
tinue its organization. Stockholders
will be asked to vote on this question
at the meeting.
From the present outlook, it seems
that the hop situation is not very en-
couraging, Notwithstanding the pres
ent furry that pushed the figures up
to rs and 80 cents a pound.
More than one half of the hop land
in the valley has been plowed up and
it is the dealers who now have the acre
age. However, this spring when the
big question was up as to whether to
continue raising hops, many of the
largest dealers plowed up all or part
Of their holdings, as the situation was
anything but encouraging,
1t is understood that the Livesley in
terests did not plow up any of their
hops this spring although other large
dealers in Salem reduced their acreage.

VIII Go Into Matter Of
Married Mems Exemption

Washington, Aug. 17.-President VIII
son today wrote Senator Weeks, Massa-
chusetts, that he will take up again
with The war department the question
of exempting married men with fam
lilies from the selective draft.
The presidents letter was in reply
to one from Weeks calling attention to
great dissatisfaction throughout the
country on this point.
Drafting married men with families
except in the case where marriage has
been entered into for the purpose OF
escaping the draft, is economically an
unsound policy Weeks wrote, "and
it is unwise from the standpoint of sue
eessful prosecution of the war to take
married men as long as there are suffi-
cient numbers of single men to meet
the government s requirements.
cit will also mean very materially
added burdens to the government in car
ing for dependents and it increases the
distress of mind of at least one person
for every one drafted"
To this the president replied:
"Your point of view with regard to
the drafting of men with families, is
undoubtedly well taken, and I have
reason to believe it is much in the mind
at least of most of the drafting boards
1 shall take pleasure in calling the at
tention of the war department again to
it.p
Weeks also asked the president to in
elude aliens in the draft.

ISEID BACKS FORTUNE
SHOWS BIG SHR|NKAcE
Was Supposed to Be In Mil
liOnaire Class But Leaves
Only $12l,436

Seid Back, once rated as a millionaire
and the richest Chinaman in the west
who died few months ago, did not
leave so great fortune as he was sup
posed to have. Instead of the millions
he is supposed to have possessed, the
recorded appraisement of his estate
amounted to only $12l,436. The small.
ness of the estate as revealed by the
appraisement has caused many to won.
der what became of the great fortune
or whether his wealth was merely ex-
aggerated. A government representa-
tive has begun an investigation to
learn everything possible about the es.
tate, as the government is interested
in the inheritance as well as income tax
The appraisement as filed in Multno.
nah county this week, places the value
of the personal property at $35,791 and
real property at $85,645. The realty
holdings in Clatsop county is appraised
at $2350 and in Multnomah, Clackamas
Marion and Lincoln counties at 83,295.
During his lifetime Seid Back was
credited with owning valuable property
inPortland in the vicinity of Second and
Oak streets and other Portland business
1t is believed these reports
were wrong or that the city property
may have been disposed of before his
death. The records of the tax collectors
office of Portland show that Seid Back
was never a heavy tax payer. In 1916
he individually paid taxes on property
assessed at $4,000. He died in Portland
November l, 1916, and his will was filed
November of that year.

has been successfully corralled and no
more danger is expected from that fire.
The Mill Creek fire is still lazily burn
ing but apparently not doing any ma
teTial damage. Late reports from Black
Rock are to the effect that the fires
in that locality have about all been ex-
tinguished The smoke in the mountains
west of Dallas the past few days have

much damage, most of it however has
drifted up this way from fires in other

high" said Judge Cabaniss. "It
should be commensurate with the grav-
ity of the offense. In view of Mrs.
MONEYS acquittal by jury, how
ever, I believe she is entitled to her
contention that bail be fixed. AS for
Weinburg, he will be up for trial in
another month and upon the outcome
of that trial will depend my action"
Judge Griffin concurred with his
colleague in the Weisburg ruling. At
torney Nathan Coghlan, of Mrs.
Mooney's council, after getting the sig
natures of Judges Cabaniss and Griffin
