NEWS FROM
OREGON

From a letter we received this week
from Mrs. l. E. Dunaven at Corval-
lis, Oregon, we take the following news
that will be of interest to their old
friends in this city. Recently her hus-
band had one of his hands badly smash
ed while operating stump machine
and he will be laid up for some little
time. He has Insurance under the
COMPENSATION Law of Oregon and his
pay goes on just the same during his
illness and all his doctors bill is also
included. Otherwise from his illness
she reports the family all we'll. They
had some snow out there this winter,
bue she says she picked roses for the
table on Christmas day. She says they
are living on big fruit ranch of $50
acres of which $50 acres are in apples,
pears and they expect to set out 80
acres in prunes in March The ranch
belongs to the Corvallis Orchard Co.,
and is located two miles from the city
of Corvallis. Ny son-in-law Mr.. Ray
Yocour and family and Mr.. Dunevan
and | all live together in one house
and the Superintendent of the COM
pany lives in another house and both
of these places are located on the one
farm. She says they are very well
located and like it out there very much.
Judging from the prices quoted in the
East we live very much cheaper out
here than they do in the East. An
other little girl was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray A. Yocous, the End of Feb.
1917 She has been named Ruth Ar
villa Yocour. They desire to be kind
Iy remembered to all their old Grand
Rapids friends.

From Saturdays Daily.
By playing a whirlwind game Of
good, clean basketball, the local team
defeated Medford. The Medford five
arrived with high hopes of adding an
other victory to their long list, but in
playing the Rapids team encountered
such a swift and clever style of play
that they were completely lost. Not
once during the game did the visit
ors threaten the Rapids goal. The
game opened with the Rapids taking
the offense and five baskets were Gag
ed before Medford knew where they
were at. This offense was kept up
thru the entire game and basket after
basket resulted from the neat team
work of the Rapids five. Stark led
the scoring with a total of points to
his credit, his 9 baskets were fattened
with the seven free throws that he
made out of chances. Palmer was
a close second in the scoring end Of
the game with baskets to his cred
it, MacSwain came next with 8 goals
and a wonderful exhibition of floor
playing. bennington and Smith a.
gain showed their ability as guards
and played an air tight game. Med
ford resorted to rough tactics in the
latter part of the game and threw a.
way any chance of scoring that they
might have had.

Hard to Understand His Actions.

Hard to Understand His Actions.
We have been a long time friend of
Senator R. NJ LaFollette and his re
cent action in the United States Sen
ate is a great disappointment to us.
We cannot understand his reasons, or
motive, for the stand he has taken a
gainst the President of the United
States. He may have good reasons,
but his old-time friends in WiscOn-
sin, don't understand what they can
be? We know that be is in favor of
peace, and against war. Everybody
knows that President Wilson is. And
just why Senator La Toilette, with
others, desire to forestall the Presi-
dent, or take an action in the United
States Senate, that will prevent the
President, from having full power TO
act in the interests of our country,
during the Congressional recess. AS
an old time intimate friend and sup
porter of Senator La Toilette, we say,
that we cannot understand his posi-
ton. AS it now looks to US, we feel
that we can never forgive him for
taking such a radical position at such
a time We feel grieved and greatly
disappointed. We looked for better
things and greater things, from Bob
La Toilette than what his actions have
been the past few days. We regret to
say this, because we have been identi-
fled from our school days at the Uni
rersity up to the present time with
Senator La Toilette; because we al
ways felt and believed he stood for the
right or all public questions. He may
be right in his present position, but
We cannot see it that way We hope
IN the near future, that he will make
his position, clear, and if it is justi-
fable, the people of Wisconsin will
forgive him. But if his reasons are
not sound and justifable, he never will
be able to retrieve and satisfy his old
longtime supporters in Wisconsin of
which we count ourselves one. We
are disappointed to think that an old
time friend should so forget his pa
triotism and love of country that he
would blockade the full freedom that
President Wilson, ought to have in
this hour of our great trouble with
foreign nations. We owe our country
much, and we have always believed
and had faith in Senator La Toilette,
that he would always stand for those
things that he believed to be right,
without any reference to what any
bodily else believed We shall anxious
~ await for some expression from
him, that will defend and support the
actions that he has taken in the u
nited States Senate in the filibuster
proceedings which are there recorded
against him. We sincerely hope that
it will not be necessary for US to a.
pologize for him, to our readers in
Wisconsin, or that we will have to
sever our former intimate and friend
ly political relations with him.

Depth of Snow.

DuFlnS In6 week just closed a con-
siderable increase in the depth of the
snow covering is reported over all
northern districts from the upper
Lakes westward to the Pacific coast
In Idaho and adjoinink states this
increase ranged from one to three
feet or more.
There was some reduction in depth
over the more southerly districts that
were previously snow covered, the loss
along portions of the middle Atlantic
coast amounting to a foot or more.
AS a whole, the snow-covered area
has not changed materially during the
week, although changes in depth have
been considerable over large areas.
Deep snow still covers the lower
elevations of considerable areas in
the western mountain districts and the
feeding of stock is still necessary.
The deepest snow in the United
States on March 1, 1917 is at the Gov
eminent Camp in Oregon, where it is
s feet, inches on the level. At the
Cascades in Washington it is 7 feet,
inches. In Idaho it is feet. In por-
tions of Montana to feet. At
Greenville, Maine 80 inches. In por-
tions of New Hampshire 81 inches. In
Michigan it is SO inches in the upper
peninsula. Thief River Falls, Mimi,
% inches In upper New York state
it is SO inches. In Wisconsin it rang
es from SO inches in Barron county
to inches at Madison.
Ice in Rivers and Harb0rs
Continued moderate winter weather
caused the formation of some addi-
tional ice on the streams and lakes
of the more northern districts, but
there was very general though slight
reduction in the amount on the streams
of the central portions of the country,
while to the southwark the ice is be-
ginning to break up and move out to
some extent. Ice approaching four
feet in thickness is reported from
Minnesota and North Dakota, and a.
mounts onl yslightly less prevail in
the upper Lake region and in the
headwaters and tributaries of the up
per Mississippi, while in New Eng
land and New York the ice ranges
up to two feet or more in thickness.
The ice over the western end of Lake
Erie has diminished considerably dur
ing the past week and the Detroit Riv-
er is open in places,
Ice in the upper Wisconsin ranges
from 26 to 90 inches, with considerable
snow on top Of same.

Answer to No. 2S3.
There are twelve rows, and Hobbs
and Sn8bbs each plant and cover six
rows. Hobbs plants row in TWEEN
" minutes and covers 1t in sixty
minutes. Snobbs plants in forty
minutes and covers in the same time,
As each earns the same amount each
must do half the planting and half
OF the covering, s there Is no way
OF determining the relative values
Of the two kinds OF work. Each
must therefore take the same time
to plant and cover a row. As Snobbs
takes twenty minutes more to cover
than Hobbs takes to plant. Hobbs
mus, take twenty minutes more 10
cover than Snobbs takes to plant,
but Hobbs time for covering is half
as much again as Snobbs' for plant
ing, so that Snobbs' time for plant.
ing is forty minutes PET row,
