expectations of all dealers. and in fact quite
surprise on account of the comparatively salts

regarding liberal available supplies at any time,

favorable to sellers. The market opened with
a sharp advance being asked in prices, and al
though buyers were inclined to bid less than

that orders were fairly liberal, consequently IL

In order to make little sensa- :
tional news. writer from Baker
City, states in the Oregonian, that
there is now brewing over in Grant
county what promises to be the
greatest sheep and cattlemen's war
ever known in the history of Grant
county. The article goes on with
the statement that both sides are
preparing for trouble which will
be caused by outside sheep being
driven in for summer range. The
GAZETTE ventures the assertion
that there is little if any truth in
the brewing Of the range war.
While there may be little trouble
between people who are unreason-
able and think they own the earth,
on both sides, but as rule, stock
owners are sensible business men
who desire to avoid trouble. Such
newspaper articles do harm for
the reason that they are read and
believed by few excitable people,
which helps to aggravate the
trouble. 1t is time to publish
range fights after they have happen
ed. Law abiding citizens will not
try to antagonize business in
terests.

since this is not to be the case
everybody will wish the company
success, and that great good will
result. There are other areas
where the Government can and
probably will operate. The money
for doing so is ready, but there is
some hitch about going ahead with
it's expenditure under the act of
last June: The obstacles, what
ever they are, should be cleared
away, and the business begun at
as early a.date as possible. lrriga-
tion will work wonders, not only
in the Upper Deschutes Valley,

A GOOD RECORD.
Penland Livestock Co. RipOrts
Very Light Losses.

The Penland Livestock Company has
just completed counting out sheep. The
loss from all causes since the 18th oil
October is only 100 head out OF 21, 500.
Heavy losses are reported from other
counties and this is certainly a good
climate.

Already the need for the opening
of the Morrow county coal fields is
felt in Eastern Oregon. Freight
trains on the 0. R & n. are being

great supply of the black diamonds
which will soon be brought out by

OREGONS NEW SENATOR.

While the members of the Ore
legislature waited until the last
minute to elect a senator, the
choice was a wise one and will
meet with the approval of the peo-
pie Of the state Of Oregon.
Taking everything into con
sideration, no better choice could
have been made. Mr.. Fulton is a
man of undoubted ability, ente,-
pr.sing and progressive. A man
of clean character, the people have
confidence in him. No man could
work in greater harmony with Mr..
Mitchell.
For years Mr.. Fulton has been
an earnest worker IN the Re
publican ranks. In a short ad-
dress after his election, Mr.. Fulton
stated that he wanted to do every
thing in his power to faithfully
represent every section of the state
and the whole people. We have
every reason to believe that he
will.
Mr.. Fulton's many friends all
over the state naturally feel jubi-
liant over his great victory, for the
case was decided strictly on its
merits.
The GAZETTE predicts that at
the end of his first term Mr.. Full
ton will be more popular with the
people of Oregon than be is today.
Let US give him our loyal support.
