He began to search for

cifc ocean. He began to search for
Linkville.
Time was when Linkville was one
of the principal towns of Oregon. Dan
remembered the place because some
of the time-yellowed letters his grand
father had sent him had been mailed
at a town that bore this name. But
he couldn't find Linkville on the map.
Later he was to know the reason
that the town, halfway between the
sage plains and the mountains, had
prospered and changed its name. He
remembered that it was located on
one Of those great fresh-water lakes
of southern Oregon; so, giving up that
search, he began to look for lakes. He
found them in plenty-vast, unmeas-
ured lakes that seemed to be distrib-
uted without reason or sense over the
whole southern end of the state. Near
the Klamath lakes, seemingly the
most imposing of all the fresh-water
lakes that the map revealed, he found
q city named Klamath Falls. He put
the name down in his notebook.
The map showed a particularly
high, far-spreading range of noun
tains due west of the city. Of course
they were the Cascades; the map said
so very plainly. Then Dan knew he
was getting home. His grandfather
had lived and trapped and died in
these same wooded hills. Finally he
located and recorded the name of the
largest city on the main railroad line
that was adjacent to the Cascades.
The preparation for his departure
took many days. He read many books
on fora and fauna. He bought sport
ing equipment. Knowing the usual
ratio between the respective pleasures
of anticipation and realization, he did
not hurry himself at all. And one
midnight he boarded a west-bound
train.
He sat for long time in the vesti-
bule of the sleeping car, thinking in
anticipation of this final adventure of

An average 10 per cent wage cut
for railroad employees, which will
chop $4OOOOO,OOO a year off the
carriers pay rolls, was announced by
the United States railway labor board
in decision applying to 1O4 roads.
The new scale becomes effective
July l, the date set for abrogation Of
the national working agreements.
Eventually the new wage rate will
apply to every road in the country.
Potentially the decision lifts $780,
100000 off the annual railroad pay
rolls of the country. That is, If it
were applied to all employees under
normal employment of class /. roads
the aggregate reduction would be $780,
100000 a year. But some roads have
sought cuts in the wages of common
labor only; others have included other
groups; some have asked wage slashes
for all classes-there is no uniformity
In this respect. The boards decision
sets up new uniform scales for all
groups of employees, from track re
pairers to engineers and conductors,
and tells each road involved to apply
the new scales to the special groups
whose pay it has asked to be reduced.
The next step is expected to be
move on the part of the roads individ-
ually to have all the new schedules
applied to Them When this is done
1t will lop S4OO,OOOOOO of the yearly
pay roll, according to the boards mem
orandum. Thus it does not wipe out
all the increase granted by the board
last year, when 100000 was added
to the annual pay sheets by wage
boost effective May 1, 1920.
To put it another way, the labor
board last year granted an average
wage increase of % per cent; now it
orders an average wage decrease Of II
per cent.

County Agent InocuIating Pigs With

of cholera and strict organized effort
to eradicate it, there has been re-
markable decrease in the disease in
the county during the last two years.
In 1917 the loss from cholera in the
county, according to the county agent,
was about $4,000. In 1918 it was
a little less than $1,000, and in 1919
it was about the same In 1920, how
ever, only three cases occurred in the
county, which leads the swine breed
ers to believe that if their efforts to
control the disease are continued chol-
era can be practically eradicated.

ship at End.

A public-spirited man in Fayette
county, Mississippi, gave six regis
tered pigs to the boys and girls pig
club work last year, with the under
standing that each one who received a
pig was to give back to the club one
pig from the first litter and one from
the second. The donated animals
were drawn for by members from each
beat and one from the county at
large. The recipients were very proud
of their pigs. The six from the first
litters were distributed in December.
If the plan is continued for five years
1t is estimated that 204 registered pigs
will be given away at the close of that
time, and it is hoped that purebred
hogs will be found on every farm in
the county. If these plans mature as
is hoped, the 204 which will be avail
able for gifts at the end of the five
years will be put up at auction and
the proceeds used for a scholarship
to the State Agricultural and Mechan.
ical college, which will be awarded
yearly to the winner of the county pig
club championship.

his life. He was rather tremulous and
exultant as he sank down into his
BERTH
He saw to 1t that at least meas
ure of preparation was made for his
coming. That night a long wire went
out to the Chamber of Commerce of
one of the larger southern Oregon
cities. In It, he told the date of his
arrival and asked certain directions.
He wanted to know the name of some
mountain rancher where possibly he
might find board and room for the re-
mainder of the summer and the fall.
The further back from the paths of
men, he wrote, the greater would be
his pleasure. And he signed the wire
with his full name Dan Failing, with
a Henry in the middle, and ''III" at
the end.
He usually didn't sign his name in
quite this manner. The people of
Gitcheapolis did not have particular
ly vivid memories of Dams grandfa-
ther. But 1t might be that a legend
of the gray, straight frOntiersman who
was his ancestor had still survived In
these remote Oregon wilds. The use
Of the full name would do no harm.
Instead of hurting, it was a positive
inspiration. The Chamber of Com
merce of the busy little Oregon city
was not usually exceptionally inter
ested in stray hunters that wanted a
boarding place for the summer. Its
business was finding country homes
for orchardists in. the pleasant river
valleys. But it happened that the re-
cipient of the wire was one of the old
est residents, a frontiersman himself.
and it was one of the traditions Of the
Old West that friendships were not
soon forgotten Dan Failing I had

WAGES of Government Employees.

Nearly $4,000 government employees
receive less than living wage; there
are as many as ten or twelve different
rates of pay for the same kind of
work; highly trained workers Of many
callings are paid less than common
laborers.
The above are a few of the charges
made against the present employment
policy of the government by Luther G.

No Competition
On Filberts Says
Government Man


Oregon has no competition In
its filbert industry. according tc
A. c. Reed, head OF the nut di-
vision of the department of agri-
culture, who has spent the last
two days in looking over the
groves OF this county preparatory
to writing a bulletin for govern
ment publication on filbert cul-
ture.
No place in the United States is
so favorable to raising filberts," !"
stated Mr.. Reed. They require a
lot of rain and rich soil, and while
growers here obtained their first
trees from Felix Gillett in Cali
fornia. there are practically no
filberts raised there now.
Importers say that nuts from
Europe are not in good condition
when they arrive here, because
they are not cured, and for that
reason they prefer the home prod
uct.
There will be no export trade
for Oregon filberts in this gen
