East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-01-12

\. H. Lea writes the following in
teresting article for Orchard and
Farm on the excellence of Oregon as
dairy state:
Oregon, with its mild climate, vast
fields of alfalfa, vetch, kale, abund-
ance of pure water and its excellent
market for dairy products, combined
with its dairy laws, which are strictly
enforced, offers advantages as a dairy
state surpassed by none and equaled
by few districts in the union. The
dairy products alone for the year 1904
amounted to S4,20O,0O0.
Among sections where dairying Is
most extensively carried on at the
present time might be mentioned the
Willamette valley, which extends al
most entirely through the state from
north to south; the Walla Walla and
Umatilla valleys, in the northeastern
Oregon; Rogue River and klamath
valleys, in the southern part; Tilla-
nook and Coos counties in the ex-
treme west, are equally as good.
Portland is the principal market,
and the average price of butter on
this market in 1904 was 27 1-2 cents
per pound, or SIS cents higher than
the famous Elgin, ILL.,, market
Oregon might be called hand
separator state, as most of the milk
Is separated on the farm and the
cream shipped to the large central
factories. There are also several
large condensed milk plants, which
consume a large amount of milk,
paying a very good price therefor.
Among some of the profitable dairy
herds might be mentioned one in Co
lumbia county-which is a somewhat
mountainous county, with abundance
of red clover, vetch and pure water.
This herd consists of 21 cows, native
breeds. In 1904 they brought their
owner something over $1,000 in butter
fat alone. His estimated cost of
keeping each COW, per year, was $50.
Another herd, or 13 cows, in the Will
lamette valley brought their owner
during the same period Of time, ST.
le6. Estimated cost of keeping each
COW was practically the same as the
other. The value of the skim milk

ing each COW.
Thousands upon thousands of acres
of Just as good unimproved dairy land
as that mentioned can be found in
many parts of the state and can be
purchased at very reasonable prices.
The pricipal forage crops of the
state are alfalfa, vetch, clover, kale
and corn. Alfalfa can be grown in
most parts of the state. 1t is the IA
vorite forage crop, producing, in
many sections four and six crops per
year. Vetch produces an abundant
tonnage and can be raised in all parts
of the state; while kale is being plant
ed in some sections as winter food
the mild climate allowing it to grow
until about January l. 1t will ther
remain green during the remainder
of the winter, thus making an excel
lent winter food.
Oregon surely affords wonderful
opportunities, and what she needs Ii
more people to help improve them
And it will not be long until she Il
recognized by the whole world as th'
leading dairy state.

Colorado Feeding 100000 Sheen.

The Fort Collins Express says: We
furnish this week to our readers a
list of the men who are feeding lambs
in northern Colorado. We have been
at great pains to make the list correct
and we consider it the best list that
abs even been given Of the feeders of
this section. Northern Colorado is
this year feeding, all told, about
1900 sheep, and we have accounted
for at least 100000. Schroeder &
McMurry supplied about 100000 OF
them, and Harris & Akin brought in
nearly the same number, besides fur
nishing 100, 900 to points in Nebraska
and the San Luis valley. Senator
Drake is reported to have handled
from 10000 to 10000 sheep for the
feeders and Carson Adams has to his
credit at least 10000, while many
feeders did their own buying.

FROM NITCHELL's BROTHER.
j. VI. Nipple. Brother to Late Senator.
Makes INQUIRIES.

From jefferson, O., there comes to
Portland a pathetic echo of the case
of the late Senator John H. Mitchell,
letter written by j. NJ. Hipple a
brother of the late senator, to Rev. E.
L. House, Mr.. Nipple, who is sur
geon-dentist, says:
81 see by the press that you, DR..
House, officiated at the funeral of my
unfortunate brother, who was, in my
opinion, the victim of a conspiracy of
his political enemies that caused his
death. In the last letter l had from
him he declared his innocence of any
intention of wrong and said he had as
many friends as ever in Oregon. But
he is gone, and I mourn the loss of a
brother as kind-hearted and loving as
any man ever had. But l am sorry
that his life went out under such a
cloud. The world judges harshly by
one mistake, forgetting the multitude
of good things and bits of kindness
done.
Il trust that in his trials he found
the dear Savior his helper and now is
forever at rest. Would it be asking
too much of you to write me and let
me know if you talked with him after
his trial and tell me, did his friends
stand by him? Did his sons Hiram
and John, get there? Did he own any
property there?"
The letter concludes with a request
for the name of the dentist who oper-
ated on the senator Immediately be-
fore his death, in order that the
writer may address him sympathetic
ally.

were that the market would rule nearly
steady, but this was largely guess
work, for the reason that the stuff was
late being yarded, owing to the storm
The quality of such offerings as We're
marketed ellrly was fairly good, and
there seemed TO be some demand for
prime stuff for export. Butcher cattle
We're slow.
The scarcity of choice steers at the
start this week and inability of the
buyers to fill orders for such kinds
would seem to forecast rather good de-
mand for them in later days, but these
classes make up only slim volume
of the receipts and are not fair
criterion of the general situation.
Low grade stock is meeting less free
dom in selling this week than last, and
especially the warmed-up $40 a
Ats kinds. These are hard TO move
and heavy liquidation of such kinds
in the near future would seem poor
policy. The packers have liberal
volume of range beef on hand which
has ncoven cheaper on the blocks than
the shrinky, poor fleshed natives, and
the latter sell accordingly.
After deluge of habitat and
warn1sd-up cattle last week and lower
prices, one would naturally expect a
let-up in the supply this week, but the
prospects are that last weeks run will
be duplicated. Choice finished cattle
are bringing prices high enough to
warrant liberal shipments of that class
if they were available, but there is no
reason why feeders should continue to
send in such big doses of sixty to
ninety-day steers as have been coming
during the past two weeks. 1t looks
as if some of the feeders We're afraid
of the future and would rather taxi,
what the cattle are worth than to hold
them another month or two and take
a chance of getting no more. A lack
of young hogs to follow the cattle is
responsible for much of this heavy
marketing. Compared with year
ago. however, feeders are getting very

RULING A BLOW TO RAILWAYS.
Sending Back Immigrants to Europe

Chicago, Nov. 21-Passenger officials
of western railroads are very much
disturbed over the decision of the gov
eminent to send back fifty desirable
immigrants who We're induced to move
to South Carolina by an agent sent

The discovery that the law prohibits
the solicitation of immigration came
as a shock to the railroad men, many
of who mare guilty, if this interpreta-
ton and application of the law are sus-
tanned by the courts. If the law should
be carried out as strictly as in the
South Carolina case. it would be Sc

equally liberal sums in maintaining an
agency in Naples under ]. P. Spanier.
