MARRIAGE LICENSES
For One Month Broken by the Month
of November.

As those who are inclined to be Gym
ical regarding modern domestic life
staggering blow has just been land
ed by Dan Cupid and the story of the
same is told on the records of the
county clerks office for November.
During the last month the matri-
monial record in this county was bro
ken by the issuance of 80 licenses to
wed, which number is larger than has
ever before been issued in one month
during County Clerk Salings admin
istration, if not in the history of the
county.
But to add to the glittering triumph
of the love god is the fact that dur
ing November but one solitary di-
vorce was granted. Late yesterday
afternoon Peter West secured a de-
cree for Frank Roach from Eulalia
Roach and he brought the same to
the clerks office just in time to avoid
being whtwashed by his rival, Cupid.

whom marriage licenses We're issued

To URGE JUTE MILL
SUBJECT TO BE CoNsID-

Commercial Bodies Which Meet on
December 5 VIII Be Asked to Take
Action on Needed State Institution
Extortion of Jute Trust Justifies the
Movement-Umatilla and Morrow
Counties Gave Up 100000 in Unjust
Tribute.

Will the meeting of the commercial
bodies of the state, which is to be held
at Eugene on December 5, take up for
consideration the matter of a jute
plant for the Oregon penitentiary {?
This is the question which Is foremost
in the minds of eastern Oregon dele
gates who expect to attend the meet
ing.
1t Is hoped that some definite ac-
tion will be taken by the meeting in
the matter of establishing a jute plant
grain bag trust is as burdensome on
the people as the car shortage or the
demurrage charges or any other prev
alent abuses which need remedying.
Umatilla and Morrow counties
alo-a contributed 100000 in unjust
profits to the jute bag trust this sea-
son in the purchase of 100000 grain
bags, and for this reason the people
of this section of the state hope to see
some definite movement made by
commercial associations, commercial
conventions, farmers institutes
grange meetings and in every other
possible way, to urge the legislature
to pass jute plant bill.
Umatilla and Morrow counties used
5000, 000 sacks this season for which
they paid an average of 10 cents, or
100000. Across the line in Wash
ington the same sacks sold by the state
board of control at 6Ia cents, or a
grand total, counting cost of distribu-
tion and delivery, Of cents each, or
$4,000 for 100000 sacks.
The state of Washington cleared
almost one cent each after selling at
y cents, while the jute trust charged
Oregon people 10 cents, Washington
paid $4,000 and Oregon $500, 900 for
the same humber of grain sacks.
Umatilla and Morrow county farmers
were thus robbed of 100000 by some-
body.
A number of prominent citizens,
legislators and farmers from eastern
Oregon will attend the Eugene meet
ing and it is thought that some defin-
ite action on the jute plant may be
secured
A jute plant can be established for
less than 100000 it is thought. The
amount saved in Umatilla and Nor
row counties alone in two or three
years would install the plant

oREGON's OLDEST PIONEER.
B. Beers Came to the Young Territory
in 1896.

To B. Beers, of Independence, prob
ably falls the honor of being the old
est pioneer living in the state of Or.
egon, says the Dallas Itemizer. Mr.
Beers was the ofdest pioneer present
at the last pioneers state meeting, al
though at that time there lived in the
state enc lady pioneer who was two
years his senior, being pioneer of
1881, but she has since died.
Mr.. Beers was born November 5,
1898. In 1886 his father and family
by Cape Horn, the trip requiring 140
days to the Sandwich islands, and en-
countering many many difficulties.
They remained on the islands three
months, awaiting an opportunity to
come on TO this coast, and arrived
here in 1897. The father came as a
farmer and blacksmith for the Metho.
dist mission located at that time 10
miles below Salem on the Willamette
river.
Il. Beers, the subject of this sketch
being one of three children, attended
the mission school with the Indian
scholars, and later attended the Salem
schools. He was married May 2, 1860
to Miss Eliza p. Smith, four children
being born to them, two sons and two
daughters. The daughters are both
dead, but the sons are living His
wife died in February, 1873.
Mr.. Beers spent several years on the
Yaquina river, and has since lived in
different places, having spent the las
two years in Independence. He en-
joys good health, and his activity

ENORMOUS MEAT BUSINESS.
Over 03,5OO, 900 Meat Animals sIaugh-
tered Annually In United Stntes.

Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture, in his report for 1906,
which has just been issued, gives some
interesting figures on the meat busi-
ness of the United States.
In the last census year, 1900 93,-
502, 900 meat animals were slaughter
ed and exported. Every time the
clock ticks second during 10 hours
of n workday, the farmer drives nine
meat animals to the butcher" The
meat production In pounds attains
such numbers that they may be better
understood If reduced to the average
of a private family-according to the
census, 4.6 persons.
To each family in 1900 the farmer
supplied 1914 pounds of meat and
then had one-eighth of his supply left
over for the foreigner. 1t is upon
the selling of this surplus in foreign
countries that the farmer depends for
the maintenance OF profitable prices

An Uncertain Obituary,

A Georgia man wrote the following
on an oak slab which marks suppos-

sacred to the memory of a faithful
animal, a white mule, born 10 years
before the civil war and went through
that war on rush from Bull Run to
Lees surrender. We amt certain
that the mule died here, but when last
seen the faithful critter was grazing
on this identical spot and trying to
kick a lightning flash back to the
clouds. Atlanta Constitution.
