SHEEPMAN
is KILLED ON RANGE

o. T. McKendree, aged AZ years,
of the firm of McKendree & Tryon,
of klamath Falls, was shot by J. e.
Paddock or Will Holbrook, of Bon
ANA, Oregon, on Saturday, near Bon
anza. All are sheepmen using the
same range. McKendree came on the
property of Holbrook armed, and was
shot twice through the chest while
on his horse, and instantly killed.
There was trouble between herders
earlier in the week over grazing.
Thirty thousand sheep are pastured
on the lands where there was room
for only 10000.
McKendree arrived Thursday from
Berkeley to adjust matters. Holbrook
had leased the land over which the
trouble occurred from Paddock. Both
Paddock and Holbrook were held by
the coroner's jury after the inquest.
Holbrook is married and has five
children; Paddock is married and has
two children, and McKendree is sur
vlved by his widow and two sons.
McKendree was a big stockman and
held much real estate in this city
and county, but his home was in
Berkeley. Cal.

When told they represented those

patriotism shown by our young men.

Seed Injury Probably
Not Due to Germans

Oregon farmers need not be alarm
ed by the unconfirmed rumors that
formaldehyde used in treatment of
seed grain in Canada has been tam
pered with by enemy aliens and rem
dered destructive to the seed.
The reported injury is thought by
Prof. H. P. Barss, of O.A.C., to be
due to unstandardized methods of
treatment or careless handling of the
treated grain. 1t is extremely unlike
ly, he says, that the general supply
of formaldehyde has been tampered
with.
Many farmers injure their grain
by treating improperly. This causes
thin stands and results in consider
able crop loss. Extension bulletin
No. 292 issued by the O.A.C. at Cor
Wallis tells how to secure smut con-
troll without danger to the vitality
of the seed. This bulletin will be sent
free on request.
1t is imperative that Oregon farm
ers should not neglect to treat their
grain this year. The cost of seed
treatment for smut prevention is less
than 3 cents per acre. Uncle Sam
needs every bushel of grain he can
get and seed treatment must not be
omitted. Last year 125,00O,OOO
bushels of grain were lost from smut.
Practically all of this could have
been prevented by the use of proper
This year not bushel of
untreated grain should be put into
the ground.

John w. Schuler, 22-year-old boy
of Sisson, Cal, has gained for him
self the title of "The Ace, for down
ing five German planes during night
battle late in February. Following
this honor the Sisson lad entered
into battle with the Huns in num-
ber of air raids over the western
front, and on three occasions sent
enemy aircraft crushing to earth.
Young Schuler enlisted at San Jose
as a pilot a year ago. After five
months training at Forth WORTH,
Texas, and Hamsted, Long Island he
arrived in France in October, and
has been actively engaged in flying
as a scout since the time of his ar
rival on the French fields. Under
the guidance of French fliers Schuler
soon came to the point where he flew
into actual battle, and, although
many times close to death, he has
never yet been wounded. Recent
New York papers have devoted con-
siderable space to the gallant work
of the "Siskiyou County Ace"

One Humane Hun.

Early reports of the work of Ger
man submarines in these waters indi-
Gated that change had come over the
undersea commanders Tho captain
OF the schooner Cole was treated cour
teously and gwen ample time to quit
lis craft and there was no disposition
to molest the survivors while getting
away in small boats. At least one
white blackbird had appeared in the
Hun flock. But later came the ia
mlliar tale of boats fred on, one boat
having been picked up without passen-
gers but with te.l-tale marks of ma
chire gunfro. 1t was too much to hope
for real change OF heart. The Hun
remains hun. If one commander has
shoan mercy to the captain and crew
of an American merchantmen he is
importing himself at home. Perhaps
he does not expect ever to reach Ger
many again, and is trying to keep his
conscience as clear as his barbaric
business will permit Occasionally
these throw backs to decency are found
in tine most degenerate forms.

The Child Labor Law.

Decision by the United States Supreme
Court that the law Of 1916 prohibiting
interstate shipment of products Of
child labor is unconstitutional as an
invasion Of state rights is a grievous
to those who hoped for
the protection Of children from the
burden Of virtual industrial slavery.
In some parts OF this country such a
law is imperatively needed to protect
the children from the cruel hardships
Of industrial occupations that sap their
strength and wreck their constitutions.

parents A. q result Of poverty is not
alone responsible for this condition.
