WERNER'S MONEY FOUND

DR.. F. M. Carter. who was over
from Siletz last evening as a wit
ness in the Brown trial, informs
us that r. f. Paulu and Mr..
Sneve found $4,000 of John
Werner's money while digging in
the cellar of Werner's cabin. The
money was in thres cans and
consisted of $500 in geld, $15 in
buffalo nickles, the balance be-
ing in greerbacks. There is
some doubt as to whether this is
all of Werner's money or wheth-
er there is still more hidden
somewhere.

To the Editor:-As the Canad-
ian Provinces, on the Atlantic
coast, have adopted as their slo-
gan, sheep on every hillside"
let me offer a modification suited
to our conditions. 1t is this:
Goats on every hillside" I'm
I'll W. pasture goats on our up
lands, we can pasture few sheep,
and those but poorly. | heard
the late Frank Stanton and 81
Copeland telling of the nice
herds CT fat cattle they used to
sell off their hill pastures before
the bushes killed the grass IS.
Had goats been Drowzed on
the "salal' and other shrubs. we
would now see grasses and clo-
vers where bracksn (miscalled
fern and bush is ON the way
back to the forest primival."
When grasses and clovers
carpet our hGllsides, the bees,
then, may store honey in such
bountiful quantities as in pio-
neer days.
Before | saw Oregon, I read
in the Leader the advertisement
of Mr.. Jas. Mcdonald, of Chit
wood, announcing: Bees, Hon.
ey, and Bee Supplies" He no
more keeps bees nor sells honey.
Once | asked him how he, an
invalid, made a living for a large
family after moving out to a
wild upland homestead He re-
piled that bees were his most
profitable livestock, with goats
the next. His pastures were
clean, ] saw, and clovers were
well established in them.
But the good work of Mr..
Mcdonald and other pioneers in
establishing flocks of registered
Angoras, and improving them,
will be lost to us, unless we be-
stir ourselves and make use Of
their labors, as did many men in
other states, and parts of our
state, who got goats from Line
oln county to head their nocks.
Remember, Goats on every
hillside"

FIRST CAR ALFALFA
ARRIVES

The first cooperative car of
Alfalfa ordered thru the County
Agents office arrived in Toledo
the middle of the week.
The quality of the hay is ex-
cellent, much finer stem than is
usual with the first crop, of a
splendid green color, with lots
OF leaves. There was not a dam
aged bale in the car of SOME 200
bales. The hay is exceptionally
free from weeds and it is said
by those who Examined the hay
that Lincoln county cows will
net leave a pound waste per bale.
According to County Agent
Cooter, there is an exceptional
demand for the hay, seven car
leads already having bsen or
dered thru the Office with pro-
spect of that many more within
the next month. One car has
been ordered by Mr.. Form for de-
livery at Yaquina, and one by
Mortin and Nash Bros. for de-
livery at Nashville.
According to the reports of
several experiment stations good
alfalfa hay is about equal to
bran in feeding value. On this
assumption a number of the
dairy farmers are expecting to
use more alfalfa and less mill
feed claiming this is q desirable
course because of the difficulty
Of securing mill feed and the ex-
ceptionally high price for same.
The second car containing
second crop alfalfa is expected
in the later part of the week.
This CROP Is generally preferred
by local buyers. II it is better
than the first cutting already
received it will certainly be ex-
cellent feed.
The hay is coming directly
from the growers in Idaho and
since there is no commission
charged at this end it is Il direct
farmer to consumer sale. In car
lots the hay is costing APPROX
imately $1,000 per ton fob. To-
ledo. The dairy fairness of Col
umbia County are using this
hay. and il was thru their
County Agent, Mir. d. c. How
ard, that Mr.. Cooter learned Of
the source Of supply.
AS long as the supply lasts"
says County Agent Cooter, "the
Office is anxious to assist any
feeders to Secure this feed.
Judging from our first carload
it is splendid hay and n bargain
at the price.

CHAPTER xI.
1 Encounter German SotdleysR

What the Belgian told me Gbout the need of a passport gave me fresh cause for worry. Suppose I should run Into German sentry before l succeeded In getting one?
 I decided that until 1 reached the big city which the Belgian had men, tloned-and which I cannot name for fear of identifying some of the people here who befriended mel would proceed with the utmost precautlon. Since I had discarded my uniform and had obtained civilian clothes, l had not been quite as careful as l was at first While I had done my tray cling at night. I had not gone into hiding so early in the morning as before and I had sometimes started again before It was quite dark. rely ing upon the fact that I would prob ably be mistaken for Belgian on his way to or from work. as the case might be. From now on. resolved, however, I would take no more chances.
 That evening I came to a river per haps seventy yards wide and l was getting ready to swim 1t when I thought I would walk little way to find. If possible. a better place to get to the river from the bank. 1 had not walked more than few hundred yards when I saw boat. It was the first time I had seen a boat in all my experiences.
 It was firmly chained, but as the stakes were sunk in the soft bank 1t was not much of job to pull them out. I got in, drank to my hearts

their spiked helmets loaned before like n regiment I felt as If I were walking right into the jaws of death. Rather than go through what was In Stnr" for me, felt that I would in tinitely prefer to be fighting again in tn" air with those four desperate Huns who had been the cause of my present plight-thon, at least. I would have Il chance to fight back, but now 1 had tD risk my life and take what was coming to me without n chance to strike Il blow in my own defense"
 l shall never forget my feelings as W" came within the shaft of light pro j"cted by that great arc light nor the faces of those three guards as we passed by them. l didn't look directly at them, but out of the corner of my eye I never missed detail. I held handkerchief up to my face as we passed them and endeavored to imi- tate the slouching gait of the Belgians as well as l could. and apparently 1t worked. We walked right by those guards and they paid absolutely no attention to us.
 If ever Il fellow felt like going down on his knees and praying I did at that moment, but 1t wouldn't have done to show my elation or gratitude in that conspicuous way.
 It was then well after II o'clock and I knew It would be unsafe for me to attempt to find n lodging place in the city, and the only thing for me to do was to locate the man whose name the Belgian had given me. He had given me Il good description of the street and had directed me how to get there. and followed his instructions closely
 After walking the streets for about half an hour. l came upon one of the landmarks my friend had described to me and ten minutes afterwards l was knocking at the door of the man who was to make 1t possible for me to reach Holland-and liberty! At least, that was what l hoped.

Travelling through the wood would be comparatively. @fe- There was a railroad going through inc wood. but I did not figns that that would make 1t any the less safe.
 About three o'clock that afternoon, therefors. I emerged from my hiding place and hurried into dB wood. AfnE proceeding for half mdls or so came to the railroad. I took sharp look in both directions and sec Ing no signs of trains or soldiers. l walked boldly over the tracks and continued on my way.
 soon came upon clearing and knew that someone must be living in the vicinity. As I turned a group of trees I saw a small house and In the distance an old man working in a garden 1 decided to enter the house and ask for food, figuring the woman would probably be old and would be no match for me even if she proved hostile. The old woman who came to the door in response to my knock was older than I expected. If she wasn't close to hundred. miss my guess very much.
 She could not speak English and E could not speak Flemish. of course, but nevertheless I made her under stand that l wanted something to eat. She came out of the door and hol- loed for her husband In a shrill voice that would have done credit to girl of eighteen. The old man came in from the garden and between the two of them they managed to get the Idea that was hungry and they gave me a piece of bread-a very small piece which was quite treat.
 The house they lived in consisted of just two rooms-the kitchen and n bedroom. The kitchen was perhaps fourteen feet square. eight feet of one side being taken up by an enor- nous fireplace. What was in the bed

 I made several miles that night and before daylight found a safe place in which to hide for the day. From my hiding place l could see through the bushes heavy thick wood only short distance away. 1 decided that l would start earlier than usual. hurry
