Would the sheepmen Of Oregon
like to secure their stock salt for
about half the price they have been
paying during the past rev years ?
That they would have little objection
to such treatment may be readily be-
lieyed, and if the plans of the State
Woolgrowers association work out,
the thing win come to pass. EtI
For many monthsSpast the sheep
men, through their association, have
been wrestling more or less with the
salt question. In eastern oregon
many trainloads of the article are
used annually, and salt is always
counted as one of the unavoidable
expenses Of the woolgrower. As the
price is now in the neighborhood of
Sl4 per ton, it may be easily seen that
thousands Of dollars are spent each
year for salt.

Idaho Owns Plant.

In looking about for some means
of securing cheaper salt the growers
recently turned to their Idaho
brethren. In that state the woolgrow-
ers recently formed a company and
purchased a salt works near salt
Lake City. Since that time they have
been securing stock salt at prices
between SO and 81 per ton, whereas
the regular price charged in their
territory by the trust has been fully
double that amount ........ I
In behalf of the Oregon association
Dan p. Smythe, secretary, recently
communicated with the Idaho men to
see If they could not also secure the
benefits of the cooperative plant. In
reply he has just received a letter
from ]. f. Clinton, secretary of the
Idaho association, in which promises
of assistance are given. The Oregon
men are invited to attend a session of
the Idaho executive committee, which
will be held in Boise on January IA,
At that time the matter OF supplying
Oregon men viii be taken up, and it
is probable arrangements will be
made whereby the growers of this
state will also secure salt AT the trust
busting prices.

History of the Crime.

James +. Sloane, a pioneer mer-
chant In Spokane, was murdered in
his room some time during the even
ing of August %, presumably before
midnight. His body was found early
the next morning, about o'clock, by
a small hoy named Hall. When the
police arrived. the body was recog-
nized as that Of the venerable mer-
chant. The back of the head was
marked with six wounds, as if with a
blunt instrument. r,,..si
Detecti,S 4. Ii McDetmott, one Of
the police officers who was first sum-
moned to the scene, noted the peculiar
actions of the boy when he was taken
to the body Of his father, as it lay
in the alley, and becoming suspicious,
asked the hoy to come to the station
with him.

speaking of immigration, he said:
You have spoken of the immigra-

all possible steps should be taken to
prevent the Importation of labOrerS
under any form, but | believe further
that this country ought to make a
resolute effort from now on to prevent
the coming to the country of men with
standard of living so low that they
tend. by entering into unfair competi-
ton with, to reduce the standard of
living of our own people. Not one of
you can go further than / will go in
the effort steadily to raise the status
of the American Wage Worker so
long as. while doing it, | can retain a
clear conscience and the certainty
that l am doing what is right. 1 will
do all in my power for the labOring
men except to do what is wrong; and
| will not do that for him or for any
one else
I'VE must not let our natural senti-
ment for succOring the oppressed and
unfortunate of other lands lead us
into what warped moral and mental
attitude of trying to succOr them at
the expense of pulling down our own
people Laws should be enacted to
keep out all immigrants who do not
show that they have the right stuff
in them to enter into our life on terms
of decent equality with our own citi-
zens. This is indeed first in the in
terests of the labOring man, but fur !

centuate altogether too much, between
the men who do one kinf of labor and
the men who do another kind. As
for Immigrants, we cannot have too
many of the right kind; and we should
have none at all of the wrong kind:
and they are of the right kind if we
can be fairly sure that their children
and grandchildren can meet on terms
of equality our children and grand
children, so as to try to be decent
citizens together, and to work together
for the uplifting of the Republic"
