SOLDIERS FRIENDS,
ATTENTION.

The Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of America is endeavor-
ing to raise funds to he used for
our boys in tne trenches and in
camps everywh re. Among the
purposes to be adopted in their
plans is to erect houses just back
of the lines or trenches in France
or Belgium, at which the soldiers.
when opportunity comes, may seek
"a refuge from the cold and where
they will be furnished with warm
food. reading matter from home,
writing materials. AMI those who
cannot write for themselves men to
do that for them; that their moth
ers. wives, relatives and friends
NAV hear from them; so you cannot
send your soldier boy hot Iunch'
a w.rm fire or writing material
more conveniently than by way OF
the Y M G A.
The efforts being advanced by
them is not for the shr dd'ng of
more blood, but for the saving OF
lif. and the morals of the soldiers.
Morgan county's allotment is
placed at minimum Of $500 to be
raised by Saturday Of tvs week.

HISTORY
OF
Morgan County
From its Formation down to
the present day
Written by H w Summer
CONTINUED from Last Week.

Continued from Last Week.
The soil except in the bottoms is
not naturally rich. but is suscept-
ible of a high degree of c"ltiva-
tion and is especially adapted TO
gardening and truck growing. All
fruits known to this latitude are
grown here.
The western half of the county
is covered with heavy growth of
the native grasses sufficient for the
pasturing of large herds of cattle
and sh ep on which they range at
will. This pasture continues for
about eight mon hs in the year,on
which the herds are fatened for the
market.
For the last fifteen years Morgan
county has made material advance
mont in the way of .public i'm
U ovemen's as was referred 10
herelofort, it erected n cour' house
in 1901 It IN expense including
fixtures, etc of abou $l8 900. 1t
h s at this time almost every stream
ON each public road spanned by
subst initial steel brid e. In 1905
and ~, there was expanded tlt-'
tvs. siluus nd dollars in grading
roads. and i'm I9.I there Was voted
BY vote Of the people of the
county a bond issae OF $27O.OOO to
be u>el in macAiamizin5 ro tds,
and up until this time it seemed
that the eIplneht in favor of ad-
vaneement had not had very great
cause for disappointment III their
appropriations for pubic improve
menIs, aud alnest tW" thirds OF
the voters of the county voted IN
this bond election for the cOnstruc-
tion of the r0 "s.
However, IN the year 1916, when
ano, her, election was held it was
required under law for two third
vote to authorize another bond is
sue it lost for the lack of such
majority, and notwithNt Inding, as
it appeared to ii large part of the
population of the county that the
money expended under the $27",-
900 issue had been so expended so
as to construct only short pieces OF
road, the longest of which was not
more than ten miles long, and dis
connected so 1t seemed to force a
favorable vote on the next Issue
and Notwithstanding the lavish
promises made to the people of
some sections of the county, and
the activity IF some il equipping
some voters with poll tax receipts,
this was the I sGlG Of the election,
however u b,. : g put through
the legislature OF 1917 authorizing
the issuance and sale without a
vote of the people of 100000 ,ad-
ditional bonds, and we are now
having constructed additional Pike
roads under this issue, which will
we hope be for the betterment OF
the county, and as to the conven-
ience of travel and time saved and
the enhancement of the value of
property we are sure of the bene-
fits that will be derived.

Prepare Now For Fall Pork
Production.

Indications are that hogs will
sell for higher prices next winter
than ever before, and farmers
who are preparing to reap ao-
vantage from the high market
prices should not overlook the
value of fall grazing crops IN
pork production. Most OF these
crops are planted in the spring
Corn, cowpeas, soybsans, velvet
beans, peanuts and sweet po'a-
toes are the principal fall grazing
crops.
Fifty-seven hogs grazed on the
Experiment Station Farm al Bat
on Rouge last fall made a }ain OF
5,285 pounds. or 92.7 pounds
each. in seventy-fVe days. BE-
ginning September q, when the
average weight was 95.9 pounds
they were grazed for twenty days
on four aores of corn and soy
beans, seventeen days on four
acres of corn and peanuts, tWen'
ty-seven days on GoLr acres OF
sweet potatoes, and eleven day.
ION another four acres OF corn and
soybeans. At the end oil the
grazing period. Dec. II they
were shipped to Texas market
and brought $1,000 per hundred
the top Of the market for th'
day. Thelpss by shrinkage eo
rt,yit8 to market was exception
ally low, and the meat dresee'
dit In firm condition; indicating
that pork may be hardened al
ter the hogs have been partly
finished off on peanuts.

GARDEN SHOULD HAVE
SULPLUS FOR CANNING

Many of the more common vegeta.
bles, including string beans, egg
plant, okra, English peas, corn, lima
beans, tomatoes and carrots are
adapted to canning; and when canned
properly vegetables should retain their
attractive color and lose very little
Of their flavor. These facts deserve
especial consideration at this time
when food prices are soaring and the
high price level not yet reached, The
foresighted gardener will include In
his plans liberal amount of such
vegetables as may be canned for win.
ter use, and thus fortify himself
against any condition that may arise
in the food situation.

MEN TRAINING AT AMERICAN
LAKE TO BE AVAILABLE If
NEEDED.

American Lake camp, with it's
thousands of soldiers and trained Of
ficers has been made the states
Gibraltar in the event of serious in
ternal trouble from I. w. w. or other
sources. Governor Lister officially
announced this week.
In reply to the governors tele-
graphed statement of l. w. w. con-
ditions following the Yakima inves-
tigation, the war department has
sent assurances that the cantonment
forces will be promptly available to
any state need. and the governor de-
clares that this power will be in
voked Immediately there is any oc-
casion for it.
His announcement of this signif-
cant arrangement is as follows:
Federal Troops Available.
Fear has been expressed by some
of the people of the state that diff
Guilty may be encountered in handling
internal troubles, should they arise
after the national guard organiza-
tons not now in federal service are
taken over by the war department.
"The erection of the cantonment
at American lake provides facilities
for controlling such situations not
excelled in any other state. The
American Lake camp is a permanent
institution. Already troops are being
modified there and the number will
be steadily increased. Federal troops
will be located at this camp at all
times.
1.-THE state has assurance that If
assistance Is required in controlling
internal troubles, 1t will be furnished
by the federal government.
Prompt action will be taken by
the state In this direction should oc-
casion require it.
''CrOps Must BE Harvested"
For the proper prosecution of the
war it is necessary that our industrial
plants be operated. Crop prospects
in the state are improving every day.
The crops must be harvested. This
is not a time for differences of opin.
ion to be allowed to withhold the
services Of those able to perform it.
for one of the responsibilities of the
state to the nation is to obtain re-
suits to the fullest degree along In
dustrial and agricultural lines.
ut is the hope of every loyal citi-
zen that these results may be brought
about without difficulty arising. Any
attempt to interfere with the carry
ing out Of our responsibility in these
matters must and will be thwarted."
Carrying out these plans. the war
department this week assigned sew
eral troops of the Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho National Guard to the
affected districts in Eastern Wash
ington.
