FANCY PRICES PAID HERE
FOR Pure BRED HORSES
(By l.. l.. Glynn. d. v. s.

tBy l.. l.. Glynn. d. v. s.
The Pure Bred and Register
ed Public auction sale held In
Monte Vista Saturday. March
10th. 1919. was attended by q
large crowd and II was report
ed by buyers in general to have
been a great success in every
way.
The consignment consisted
OF n lot Of useful mares and fl.
leys.
The fact that they were con-
signed from the large Breeding
Ranch known as The Jarosa
Ranch. mt Longmont. Colo. and
the further fact that this es-
tablishment Is known through
out many states in the West for
their fine horses. give buyers
confidence from the start.
There was great deal Of
question at this sale as to
whether the prices paid were
warranted. but the men who
paid seven hundred dollars
each for these mares were well
satisfied. The arguments
against such high prices were
that five hundred dollar
team would do as much work.
that it would be foolish to
hand over a fourteen hundred
dollar team to inexperienced
hired hands to work. and that
colts were hard to raise in the
Valley. The men who made
such arguments have failed to
keep up with the times, It Is
true that these men would
probably fail to make these
mares pay for themselves. but
the men who bought these
mares are the up to date sue
cessful farmers. Very proba-
bly, these mares will not be
asked to do more work than
the five hundred dollar team.
Very certainly they will not
be given to inexperienced
hands to work. and most prob
ably the colts will be raised in
such a way as to pay large
dividends on the investment.
Many of the mares were safe
N foal by registered stations. |
The men who bought these
mares are we'll fixed to raise
these colts as they have plenty
Of pasture land. However even
if these colts had to be raised
on the farms without pasture
land they would pay the extra
feed bill. A weanling from the
ordinary grade draft mare here
might bring sixty dollars. The
Jaroso Ranch is Offering three
hundred dollars for male colts
and two hundred dollars for
FLIES at weaving time. AS a |
matter of fact these colts will
be worth more for the owner
70 keep. The reason for the
high price is that primarily the
mares are bought to raise colts
and secondarily they are cap
able of doing and will do as
much work as any team of two
we have here now.
So these mares will not cost
any more to keep than our
grades; they will dc as much
work and they will raise colts
that will sell for five times as
much as the grade colts. We
will all want to see these mares
and their colts at the next an

London, Oct. ll.-After ten
months of trial the higher authori-
ties OF the Metropolitan police have
decided that women police officers
have made good. and the 100 now

be of good education, possessing tact,
kindliness and a sympathetic nature,
willing to work seven hours a day
for $40 a week and be ready at all
times for duty.
The force was recruited from the
patrol workers of the national union

protection of the city. They did ex-

was felt that the pressing need for
them had passed. and they were dis

BAD SPOTS IN ROAD
TO Be MAcADAM|zED

Herbert Num-, state highway en-
gineer, has written to the county
court of Josephine county, stating
that the highway commission has
favorably passed upon this county's
request for funds with which to ma
cadamize some short stretches along
the Pacific highway north of Grants
Pass on the new established grade,
with the understanding that not
over $4,000 is to be used on any one
piece of work.
Judge Gillette says the work of
improving these bad spots in the
road will be begun at once, as they
will, in their present condition, make
the road impossible after the winter
rains start. The work will be
classed as "maintenance," and will
begin near the county home and ex-
tend north to the newly made grade.

HEBREWS LEAD DOGS
LIFE OVER IN GERMANY

Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE Hansa Bund
of Hamburg, a mercantile association
of the great port, has requested the
publishers of the German Officers
Gazette, to publish demand upon
the public, not to read Jewish news
papers. The demand mentions as
some of the more prominent German
papers owned by Jews the Berlin
Tageblatt, the Ullstein papers, Vols
sische Zeitung, Berliner Zeitung Am
AIittag, Morgenpost and the National
Zeitung.
This is the latest, and most direct
move in the anti-semitic campaign,
that is growing in Germany. 1t is
another result of the revolution,
which is removing the old censorship
removed with it every vestige of con-
troll over everything.
Officers of troops in the east re-
peatedly are accused of deliberately
furthering an oppression of their
Jewish soldiers. All in all, the life
of the Hebrews is one of the most
uncomfortable in Germany.
Berlin is flooded with anti-semitiC
literature. The west end of the city
is the particular stamping ground OF
those who distribute it. The antag-
onism to Jews extends to almost
every stratum of the German popu-
lation. Magazines, weelSlies and
monthlies, devote columns to the
subject.

, Mount Grappa Is approximately
5000 feet high, Is a solid rock pro-
iecting into space in gigantic pro-
portions and almost perpendicular on
its sides. The ascent is made by a
series of winding roads made on the

task, constructing the roads In such
way that a garrison of two army
corps could be kept in full operation,
