POWER COMPANY is
AGENT FOR. SURVEY

The California-Oregon Power Com
pany has been appointed by the fed
eral authorities as agent to make
survey of northern California and
southern Oregon. A military map is
being prepared to outline the work
for the power company in that sec
tion. Every tunnel must be shown
with its capacity; every culvert, trail,
highway bridge, fording place, etc,
must be given.
When the desired data is compiled
the government experts with these
maps will be able to tell more about
that section of the country than resi-
dents who have lived there all their
lives. o. G. Steele is in charge of
the work for the Siskiyou division,
George Walton has the klamath di-
vision, and the work in the Rogue
river division is under the super
vision of H. L. Walther.

DICK POSEY, THE RILEY OF
OREGON.

"A prophet is not without honor,
save in his own country" While
this truism from Holy Writ does not
fully apply to the subject of this
sketch, yet we have fallen far short
Of a full appreciation of the literary
merit of one who dwells among us.
Heretofore, when we wished a
spice of humor and merriment
thrown into an evenings entertain
ment we have called upon Dick and
he never disappointed us. He always
gave us what we asked for.
The editor of the Tidings has re-
Gently had occasion to make a close
study of a portion of the manuscript
produced by our local poet, and we
have awakened to a realization of the
fact that there is far more than
humor in his productions. We find
a wonderful fund of wisdom and
pathos permeating the entire fabric
of his works.
Like the Hoosier poet, Dick Posey
has the rare faculty of leading the
reader to the very verge of tears,
then making him drown his momen-
tary sorrow in a wholesome laugh.
That is one of the most difficult
feats in literature and Dick is surely
q past master in the art.
While every page scintillates with
humor, yet he never fails to drive
home real wholesome, moral truths,
cleaned from the daily expression Of
the ordinary work-a-day life around
us.
He is richly endowed with imagin-
ative genius, and has the knack Of
portraying human life in such real
istic manner as to bring the reader
face to face with his quaint charac-
ters. His people invariably remind
us of characters we have personally
known.
His power of expression is remark
able, his descriptions lucid and salts
flying, and through all of his writings
there runs thread of heart interest
and human sympathy that endears
him to the people.
While he maintains his own indi-
yiduality, and is~intensely original,
yet there is striking similarity be-
tween his productions and those of
the Hoosier Poet, in that they both
deal with the ordinary phases of the
plain, common people.
He is worthy of the title, "The
Riley of Oregon"

each soldier at least one letter a
week. Hope college, Holland, Mich.
has a card index with the addresses
of the Hope men in service, and the
University of Washington girls keep
card file of the 1000 university
men who are in the fighting forces
in order to supply them with copies
of the college daily paper. "Choco-
late bar days." when contributions
are taken to buy chocolate bars for
the Oregon boys in the service, is the
latest plan of college girls at the
Oregon State Agricultural college.
The women of Reed college, Port
land, Ore, have established an emer-
gency fund for Reed men who have
enlisted. This fund will take care
Of Reed men and dependents, and
will help the students who return dis
abled to finish their college work
At Oberlin and other schools each

listed for the support of one or more
French orphans. There is a College
Periodical League which furnishes
soldiers and sailors with magazines.

THE WIRELESS IN
MODERN WARFARE

One of the greatest services OF
wireless in modern warfare is in
spotting the fall of shots. The eff
fectiveness of artillery fire has been
increased many hundred per cent by
these invisible signals, says f. A.
Collins in Boys Life, the Boy Scouts
Magazine, for March. In the past
the officer in charge of a battery
could only hope to hit his target by
good luck, especially If it be movable.
Today wireless operator makes OBJ
servations for fire control and in
formrs the gunner after each shot OF
its effect and the exact change nee
essary to improve his aim. The field
is divided into squares and the OBJ
server sends back by wireless the
number Of the square struck.
The advancement in this science
has been very rapid. In the first
part of the war the observer would
fly in an aeroplane over the enemy's s
lines and record the result of the
shots on map, which he dropped
over his battery. The wireless OBJ
server in an aeroplane above the en-
emy's lines sends back such direc-
tions as too short" three too
high, ''two to left" etc., and the
gunner mends his aim without loss
of time.

have received decidedly better re-
turns than the Douglas county grow
ers, who sold their crops Individual
ly. Likewise the pear growers here
received only about two-thirds as
much for their seconds as did the
Willamette valley growers, who had
by-products plants at band for hand
ling and marketing their crops. The
same rule also applies to the lower
grade apples and other fruit. Under
the present conditions many thou
sands of dollars worth of these fruits
go to waste every year, and with the
increase of bearing orchards the an
nual loss is increasing. An effort
will be made to get the growers to
unite so as to save such heavy losses
as have occurred in the past.

RULES FOR SALE OF
FLOUR ARE LISTED

w. B. Aver, federal food admins
traitor for Oregon, recently gave out
the following statement regulating
the sale of flour by dealers not COM
plying with the recent order given
out regarding licenses:
"All dealers in flour, including
flour mills, are hereby notified that
no sale of flour should be made to
any one subject to license who has
not as yet taken out license.
mo order for wheat flour should
be accepted from those subject to
license which does not show on the
face of it the license number of the
dealer ordering the flour. This num-
ber may be clearly written in ink on
the application certificate.
"All those who are subject to
license and who have applied for
same prior to this date, but have not
as yet received their license from
Washington, can clearly write on
their application certificate the date
their license was applied for, and
dealers may accept this statement
(when so written on the application
certificate) in lieu of license num-
Der, until such time as license num-
bers can be given.
"Those who are subject to license
and have not applied for same should
Immediately make application to the
license division of the United States
food administration at Washington,
D. c., stating the character of their
business. This may be done by tele-
graph, and until license has been
received no dealer should sell such
person or persons flour without their
having secured permit from my Of
flee or from the county chairman for
the food administration.
"The following is a list of those
subject to license. All flour mills,
all wholesalers and jobbers; all brok-
ers and commission merchants; all
retailers doing a business of $780,
900 year or over; all retailers do
ing business of less than 100000
a year who sell to hotels, restau-
rants, boarding houses or other pub

facturers of macaroni and other ali
mentary pastes, etc., and all hotels,

people without combining the name
of Kaiser Wilhelm with God AL

"The people have had it preached
to them. 1t became a part of their
religion. God had given them the
kaiser. 1t is part of their very
training, as we'll. There is not a
school teacher or instructor in the
schools Of the fatherland but is sub

German government, and not a ses-

they really believe what has been
taught and can not escape from the
virus.

blessed the world and which is ours

three sturdy grandsons are in the
service, ready to follow Old Glory to
a greater sphere of freedom than the
world has ever known. They have

my friends, won't be the march of

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
HANDLING PRODUCTS

Fruit growers of Douglas county
are beginning to take notice in re-
gard to means of marketing their
products, and are getting together on
the idea of taking some definite ac-
tion. The Roseburg Review gives
the following account of a recent
meeting which shows that the fruit
growers of Douglas county are wide
awake to the situation:
mo definite action was taken at
the meeting of fruit growers Tuesday
afternoon in relation to the estab-
lishment of by-products plant here.
The committee, however, will con-
tinue its Investigations and report
later to the directors of the local
fruit union. 1t is apparent to all
that there must be a greater unity
of action among the growers, espec-
tally in regard to marketing their
products, If they succeed in getting
the full returns which their output
merits. AS an instance in this line
1t was pointed out that the prune
growers of this county lost a very
large sum of estimated by
some persons to aggregate as much
as $1O0,O00-by failing to pool their
entire crop. The Lane county grow
ers pooled their crop and are said to

UNITED STATES WILL
TAKE ALL THE BEANS

Too many white beans can not be
raised in the United States, so great
is the present demand, according to
official word from the federal food
administrator. Oregon can do its bit
in the production of beans, says AS
sistant Food Administrator w. X.
Newell.
The army and navy alone can use
a great amount of the beans, and the
product can bring better than 8 to
9h cents pound, says the commun-
ication from the food authorities.
Oregon contributes but per cent
of the total bean production of the
country, 1t is said, but the admins
tration wants that l per cent to help
out the general situation.
Up to the present some 900 tons
of beans raised in Oregon last year
have been shipped out of the state.
A survey of the state made recently
by one of the large wholesale grocery
firms of Portland shows that there
are available about four carloads at
Eugene, three carloads at McMinn-
vile and one at Medford.
Beans valued at $4,000 900, which
are either on their way from Japan
to this country or are stored in ware
houses at San Francisco, have been
commandeered by the government.
The shipments were seized before
they were sold.

FACTS ON GERMANY
WRITTEN BY GERMAN

The Walkerton, Ind, Independent
of recent issue contains the follow
ing article written by Herman Wilkie
of Eliwood, Ind, a German who
knows Germany:
81 know GERMANY was born
there. l went to school in the faith
erland, and let me tell you, my Ger
man friends, that you do not know
what you are talking about when you
support the German autocracy. II
you are honest about it, you will say
that you and your fathers fled from
Germany just as mine did, I'd escape
military tyranny.
81 know Prussianism. You may
have been born elsewhere in the en-
pire, but the brutal iron heel of the
government which has drenched this
whole world in its war for world
power was the same power that made
every German who had a little cot
tage or mud hut, no matter how poor
he was, to board German soldier
free of charge. That soldier was the
autocrat of that home. His word
was law. If he punished child or
knocked him from his chair to the
floor, the father must smile.
ITO resent the action of the brutal
guest, who must have the best of
everything in that house, was to
bring dire punishment upon the head
of that family. There was a filled
knapsack hanging upon the wall and
loaded gun in the corner, and when
call of war did come that soldier,
with 15O others, knew just where
to run in order to form a company
ready for immediate service. That
is a type of one German organization
for you. What l have said can not
be denied.
Let me tell you something else.
l have been asked SO many times how
can the German people, who are gen.
orally so peaceful, have changed into
such murderers? l tell you that for
years and years there has not been
a minister standing in the pulpits of
n
Germany but has been selected by the

they would enlarge the list of classi-
cal selections they enjoy.
Repetition is great educator.
The great influence of the talking
machine and the player piano in cul-
tivating a liking for the better class
of music is due to the ease with
which those who can not produce
music themselves are able to play
notable selections over and over
again. For one who seizes every
opportunity to hear great pianist,
symphony orchestra, band, chorus,
organist, violinist or cellist, there
will spring up deep appreciation
for the classics that will continue to
develop as repetition makes it possi-

TASTE FOR GOOD
MUSIC is GROWING

Catchy tunes appease the appetite
quickly, but the taste does not last
well, musical educator writes. A
classical number does not gain the
same response from your musical
taste on first hearing, but repetition
impresses the music deeply on your
mind. People will say they simply
can not stand what they call classi-
cal stuff, but by way of exception
they do appreciate such pieces as
Handel's Largo, Dvorak's Humor-
-esque, Paderewskis celebrated Min
.uet in G.
The reason why they consider
these as notable exceptions may be
given In one word-repetition. They
have heard them often and the full
message Of the composition has hold
OF them. Had the same persons
heard other compositions as often
