While the countv's annual average
lumber cut was greater by several mil
lion feet when the Stanley Smith Lum-
Der Co.. the annual output of which
was II, 500. 900 feet, was operating,
seven smaller milling concerns operat

larger concerns cut. The seven
smaller mills, headed by the Mtehells

Oregon Lumber Co. S mill at Dee, the
valleys total lumber output for 1918
reached 35.6l7, 600 feet. The Dee mill
cut 2. 900, 600 more feet than in 1917.
The lumber production was chiefly for
government orders.
The smallest cut was made by the
Standard Lumber Co. of Oak Grove,
which produced 225. 600 feet. ties and
other products on government orders
But other lumbermen consider the
record of this small concern as marvel
Gus, for it was almost entirely the
work of the three sons of J. Horn,
who constructed their mill during
times that other busy men would con-
slider leisure moments. In 80 days the
past summer these three yourg men
cut, hanled and sawed fir timber tC

WATER RIGHTS CASE
PROGRESSES SLOWLY

J. H. Hazlett, secretary of the East
Fork Irrigation District, a party to
litigation that was remanded by the
supreme court back to the circuit court
for a final adjudication of all water
rights on the Hood river water shed,
does not expect the case, which was
referred back in 1916, to be taken up
by the circuit court this year.
In referring the case the supreme
court instructed that the State Water
Board should have jurisdiction in gath
ering comprehensive data on all water
claims and the amount of flow in the
river. The Board is now engaged in
securing the classifying conflicting
claims.
The original case involved claims OF
the Oregon Lumber Co. adverse to the
irrigation district The Pacific Power
& Light Co. is also making claims ad.
verse to the lrrigatiOnists.
The power concern, says Mr.
Ha2lett, 'is claiming $50 second feet

been recalled. In April, 1917, at the
first local Red Cross rally, Cpl. Spauld-
ing played the role of wounded soldier
In the big show window of the Franz
Hardware Co., in order to stimulate
membership in the Red Cross, Cpl

wounded knee. A photograph made
of the scene was found by Secretary
Raviln the day after Cpl. Spaulding
returned home.
An identical picture might have been
made at base hopsital IN France. for
Cpl. Spaulding sustained wounds in
the knee bandaged in the acted scene.

The editor of the Telegram visited
the cemetery today, in company with
Commissioner T. B. O'Steen, and was
much pleased to observe that good
start has been made towards improv'
ing and identifying the City OF the
Dead. The scrubby oaks are being
taken out, the weeds cut and the
trash removed, and there is beginning
to be apparent some design In the
general layout. Of course, there Is
much work to be done before the
grounds will be in any satisfactory
shape, but the fact that something Is
being done is highly encouraging.
Commissioner O'Steen is taking much
interest in the matter, but he has only
very little money to work with, and
has to do the best he can under that
handicap. If all individual lot own.
ers would look after their own prop
erty, the general effect would be
greatly enhanced.
