sistently demanded recognition" In
the matter of adaptability of breeds
let it never be forgotten that the
source of improved beef blood the
world over has been the Shorthorn.
Superiority in size over all other
breeds is one of the peculiar merits
of the Shorthorn. One of the main
purposes for which pure-bred herds
of beef cattle are maintained is to
improve the size and feeding quail
ty of the common cattle in the coun-
try. The average scrub is fine enough
in bone and body to satisfy the most
fastidious packer, but he is a most
improbable beast for the raiser or
feeder.
No breed will improve the size and
! feeding quality of the millions of ma
tive scrubs as will the Shorthorn.
And, while improving the size and
feeding quality, he will improve the
milking quality of the scrub in an
equal degree. The Herefords and An
gus have not been the pioneers in
the grading up of western cattle, but
the first warming up" given the
scrub and western cattle was at the
hands of the Shorthorn. No expe-
rienced range man can doubt that the
Shorthorn made far greater improve
ment on the native western cattle
than could have been made by any
other improved breed.
Those qualities in which they were
most deficient were the ones In
which the Shorthorn particularly eX-
celled all other breeds. Superior size,
width Of back, depth of rib, fullness
of ham, and natural docility, and the
power to transmit them in mark
led degree. These desirable qualities
were all implanted to some extent in
the western herds before the other
beef breeds were introduced. The
Shorthorn breeder not only makes
two pounds of beef grow where only
one grew before, and in this respect
surpasses the breeders of all other
breeds, but he also makes two quarts
of milk flow where but one flowed
before, and thus doubles his benefac-
tons to mankind.
As population increases milk must
play a more and more important part
| in the economics of beef production
It does not require the gift of proph,
ecy to see that the time is ap
preaching when the invaluable quail
ties combined in the Shorthorn as il
no other breed will, from force Of
necessity, be more and more IN de
mand. Then will the noble Short
horn come into its own, and take i
rightful place far in advance of al
breeds incomparably the great i'm

A BIG PROJECT TO
RECLAIM HOLY LAND
PROPOSES TO SPEND MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IRRIGATING 1T.
FUNNEL TO DEAD SEA.

A project to reclaim Palestine by
utilizing the level variation between
the Mediterranean and the Dead sea,
by means of great power stations,
has been announced by Albert Hiorth,
a Norwegian civil engineer. These
plans are the result of a thorough
study of the meteorological, climatic
and geological conditions of the
country, which make it obvious that
virtually the only possibility for a
Gland of milk and honey" lies in an
efficient irrigation system.
The engineers plan calls for tun-
mel about 81 miles long, running east
to west from the Mediterranean to
the Dead Sea, passing under Jerusa-
lem. This tunnel would carry the wa
ter from the Mediterranean to the
western slopes of the lower end OF
the Jordan valley. From this point
the water would be directed through
pipes down to the level of the Dead
sea. where a power plant would
transform the water power into cleo
tricitv. to be distributed as light and
power throughout the country, and
drive a pumping plant at the south
ern end of the lake at Genezareth.
Would Enlarge Dead Sea.
The level of the Dead sea is about
1857 feet below sea level, and that
of the lake at Genezareth about 656
feet below sea level. Preliminary es-
Inmates show that tens of thousands
of horsepower may be developed
THROUGHOUT the year in this manner,
bv means of a tunnel of 1875 feet,
CARRYING 20 tons of water second.
The surface of the Dead sea, which
is now about 1000 square miles
would be allowed to increase as much
as the increased evaporation.
By economizing the water during
the dry season there would be OBJ
tanned an ample supply for lrrlgat-
ING several hundred thousand acres;
Thousands of existing cisterns and
also some imposing water works,
dating as far back as the reign OF
David. could be included IN these
works. 1
The cost of the Dead sea tunnel,
shouId it be built without masonry
and with minimum area of 1872
smuare feet, is estimated to reach
$40 100000. To this should be add
ed the cost of the power plant, fac
tory works, canal, irrigation and salC
works, bringing up the total cost 10
approximately $60,OOO,OOO.

SEABOARD WILL BECOME
AN OIL BURNING ROAD
Has Closed Huge Contract With the
Mexican Petroleum Company.

Mexican Petroleum Company
The Seaboard Air Line railway has
contracted with the Mexican Petro-
leum company for sufficient oil to
cover forty per cent. OF its fuel re-
ouirements for the next five years,
according to announcement of S. L..
Yerkes, of the Order Sales agency,
of Birmingham.
The basis of the purchase price,
according to Mr.. Yerkes, is equivalent
to So a ton for coal, which on the
basis of three and one-haf barrels
of oil to one ton of coal would av-
erage approximately 851s cents a
barrel delivered at Jacksonville or
Tampa.
The Mexican company, under the
terms of the purchase, advances
81, 100000 to the railroad company;
$3.50 600 of which is to be expended
on oil storage tanks at Tampa and
Jacksonville and elsewhere, and the
remaining $750,000 will be used IN
converting $50 engines from coal
burning patterns to oil burners.
The money is to be repaid during
the life of the contract at the rate
of ten cents per barrel of fuel oil
used.
The Seaboard has been large
consumer of Alabama coal, practical
ly all of the fuel used on the lines
in Alabama, Florida and Georgia
having been secured in the Birmlng-
ham district.

THE CLARK SEEDING

While it is likely that the strawberry
acreage Will increase considerably in
the Hood River valley within the next
few years. provided labor conditions
warrant it, local growers will not heed
the suggestions of Gamers to plant
fruit Of. the Marshal variety. Hood
River growers have realized eXcep
tional prices for their berries because
of the quality of the variety grown
here, the Clark Seeding So well
known is the quality of the Hood River
Clark that the Apple Growers Associa-
tion has had offers ftom purchasers as
far east as Chicago. 1t is doubtful if
IT would be wise to ship so far, but The
Clark Seeding has established a repu
tatlon for its stability in the Dakota
and Rocky mountain regions. The
Hood River grower will always find a
market here, and at the top of prices.
Hood River will stick to the Clark
Seeding.

THE LIBERTY LOAN

Judging from the expressions of our
bankers it is going to be as easy. OF
perhaps more easy, to dispose of Hood
River county's quota Of the Victory
loan as it was for any of the Liberty
loans. Running for five years with Il
high rate of interest AZ per cent the
victory bonds are attractive from an
investment standpoint.
The purchaser will also be given a
six months period in which to make
payment. The installments will be
as follows:
Ten per cent at time of application
on or before May TO- Ten per cent
on or before July Is. Twenty per cent
on or before August II. Twenty per
cent on or before September 8. Twen-
ty per cent on or before October Z.
Twenty per cent on or before Novem-
ber II, with accrued interest on de-
ferred installments.
Everybody who already possesses a
Liberty bond can easily buy Victory
bond
While the moral suasion that the So
licitor brought to bear in former bond
campaigns cannot be assayed in the
coming one, nevertheless the duty for
buying the bonds is just as pressing as
before. The cost of winning the war
must be paid.

The balance which self denial holds

her place and office. Is she equal to
self denial? Can she wait?
There Is nothing so persuasive, so
irresistible, as the love of a man for
the wife whom he loves. No money
is spent with so much Joy as the money
that goes to her and the children.
Happy Is that man whose wife loves
him too much to permit him to be fool.

the expenditure must always be at

ought to say:
Il am not seeking o. consenting to

Since Chancellor Day uttered those
words the United States government

attention to the to be.regretted de-
structon of beautiful shrubs that bios
som along Columbia river gorge and
add to the appeal of trip over the

In the instance mentioned home folks
are said to be the offenders.
Let's leave the foliage and flowers
of the currant bushes and other natur-
al decorative plants Just as they are
along the Highway. A bouquet of
them lasts but moments, few hours
at most. Let's leave the bushes where
their beautiful spring coloring may
be enjoyed by all.
Visiting tourists. however, have
been known to despoil the trees of
wayside orchardists at blossom time.
Let US hope there will be no repetition

THOSE N0uLD-BE CENSORS

We suppose that all communities
have their would-be-censor pests. The
government has them; the peace confer
ence in Paris has them. and woeful
mess, apparently. they have made OF
things.
In Hood River. as is apparent from
an interview in our contemporary, The
News, Mr.. RavIln would like to censor
Hood River news TO Portland dallles
Mr.. Ravlin perhaps sincerely thinks he
would be doing Hood River valley a
service by permitting only such news
AS boosting news to 90 forth. In TACT,
after about two weeks Of such censor
ship a Portland daily wouldn give two
whoops for news items from Hood
River. Real newspapers want all the
legitimate news, and the correspondent
who would truly serve his community
will send the news, all of it. as it
breaks. The good accompanies the
bad. Fortunately, here in Hood River
most of our news is good news, and
from the boosting standpoint Hood
River gets the best of the deal always.
Mr.. Ravlin did not believe the inter
view of F. NJ. Cox, critical of Hood
River highways, should have gone to
the Oregonian. If this had not been
legitimate news the Oregonian would
certainly not have printed it.
We expressed our dsapproval Of Mr..
but we have just as much disapproyal
for Mr.. Ravlin and his attitude. He
would put an end to a real and beneh-
ciaf news service from Hood River.
