65TH ARTILLERYMAN
DIED OF PNEUMONIA

c. ]. Hurd, formerly of Eugene
now county agricultural agent ot
Douglas county, has received a mes
sage from Adjutant General Mccain,
at Washington, d. c., stating that
John Clinton Hurd, who died OF
pneumonia in France few days ago,
and whose name was contained in
the casualty list as sent over by Gen.
Pershing, is his son.
Mr.. Hurd, when he read the list,
thought it was his son, as the name
was the same, but he had received
no personal message from the adju-
tant general as is usually the case.
He received a confirmation of his
belief that it was his son who died.
Young Hurd was a member of the
65th artillery, which had arrived in
France only a few days before he
died. He was a member of the old
End company, coast artillery, which
was stationed at Fort Stevens, be-
fore starting for the scene of the con-
flict.

GRAIN SHUTS OF WEST
ARE HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE

Common smut of the Pacific coast
states is said by DR.. H. H. Brown,
U. S. bureau of chemistry, to be one
of the most inflammable smuts. 1t
is readily ignited by heat or electric
ity, and because it explodes with con-
siderable force is particularly dan
gerous.
Dust and smut explosions that oc-
casionally occur in threshing ma
chimes, mills, elevators, warehouses
and other manufacturing and handl-
ing plants were shown to be due to
a combination of organic dust-smut,
cornstarch, wheat flour and others
and air. touched off by a spark or
flame. In demonstration before
the O.A.C. farm crops club DR.. Brown
showed that 1t is only required to
have the dust finely divided, of rea-
sonable dryness, and heat enough to
produce ignition.
He created miniature explosions
with smut, wheat and corn dusts
and other finely divided organic sub
stances. The more finely divided
the dust is the more readily it ignites
and burns, and the more violent the
explosion. Because the smuts are so
fine and dry they explode with con-
siderable force.
Any situation that fills the air
with a cloud of fine dust is danger
ous. Only a fire that will ignite It
Is needed to bring about violent ex-
Dlosions with great loss of property
and sometimes human life. 1t is par
icularly necessary that dust be not
allowed to accumulate in elevator
egs, on top of bins, around belts,
n anywhere about the elevators and |
,ins. All such factors as static cleo
ricity, open flames and hot boxes,
hould be eliminated.
The use OF inert gas, usually flue
,as that has been washed and dried
md forced into the grinding ma
hine, renders the dust practically
immune TO explosions Threshing
Machine men are urged to send for
he data on smut explosions available

RICH COAST NINE

The Anvil Mountain mine. which

operation. This is considered one
of the best claims on the coast. The
mineral produced is molybenite. used
in place of tungsten and also for the
lining of guns.
The building of road to the mine,
started three months ago. is about
completed IT has cost $4,000, parts
Of which were contributed by the
government, the forestry service and
individuals. The bodies of timber
which this road makes accessible will
be hauled out by trucks.
Molybenite is now selling for $3.50
per pound. It's concentrates bring
S2.25 a pound. The mine will oper-

HOMESTEAD RIGHTS
URGED FOR TROOPS

At the suggestion of the war aux
Hilary central committee and the
Fathers organization of Portland,
Congressman Macarthur Monday in
troduced a bill giving preferential
homestead rights to all men serving
in the army or navy during the war
with Germany, and also giving these
men the right to make filings on pub
lie land while in the service through
their fathers or other relatives or
agents. The bill provides that the
time of service in the army or navy
shall be credited as residence after
returning, the soldier must live on
his land at least one year, and that
he must take up his abode there
within six months after his discharge
from the service.
The bill also provides that, in case
of death, the declarant soldier or
sailor, before actually entering upon
the land to reside, his widow or heirs
shall have the right to perfect the
homestead entry after one years res
idence upon the land.
Mr.. McArthur's measure has been
referred to the committee on pub
lie lands. This measure is similar
to one recently introduced in the
senate by Senator McNary.
