Work ON Elgin Road.

George Armour, railroad contr C or

that much drogress is being made on
the extension of the Elgin branch OF the
o. R. & N. Mr.. Armour has a contract
for grading several miles of the new
roai which is building into the heart of
the rich Wallowa country.
1--WE have finished the dirt work on
our contract and are now at work OF

"Cold weather and snow has interfered
very little with our work AS We we're

winter weather set in. Snow is several
inches deep in the Walowa country.

railroad work now going on. The sur

It is understood they have reference to
alleged violations of land and tim ber
laws, and that several prominent citi-
zens of the state are involved.
A story is current here tonight that
J. P. Woolman, former United States
marshal and prominent and wealthy
stockmsn, was among the number, be.
ing charged with illegally fencing gov
ernment land in Teton county. Mr..
Woolman was foreman of the jury, and
when it reported this morning he asked
to bs excused from further service,
which was done. Then the Jury retired
and later this afternoon returned an
other, the one supposedly referring to
it's former foreman. Mr.. Woolman said
tonight he expected to be indicted, saw
it coming and retired, as he did not
wish to hamper the jury. The other
indictments will probably be made pub
lie early next week.

Big ShOrthOrn Deal.

We estimated few weeks ago in our
columns that there would probably be
some pretty good deals in Shorthorn
circles in the near future, and in the
transfer to W. O. Minor of the whole ].
l.. Metsker herd. one of the deals re-
ferred to has been consum ated.
Last week Mr.. Minor shipped from
Hillsdale Farm, Pullman, Wash, to
his Mountain Valley Farm, at Heppner,
Ore., the whole OF J. L. Metsker's herd,
consisting of 30 head, including bis herd
bull, Ke psake, and the rest of the
show herd that Mr.. Metsker exhibited
successfully in 1903. Keepsake was
shown In ibis yesrllng form anu won
first at the Oregon and Washington
state fairs. He has developed n o
quite good bull, very smooth and full
of quality. He has been Mr.. Metsker's
main service bull for some time and is
showing some splendid calves. The
fine young show COW, Lads Lucy, b,
The Lad for Me, and out of daughter
of Gay Monarch, is sucking a heifer
calf by this young bull that would be
credit to any sire. With the addition of
this bunch Mr.. Minor has considerably
the largest herd of registered Short
horns in the Northwest, in tact his herd
claimed that distinction for some years.
Mr.. Minor is showing his faith by his
work. 4 few such transactions as this
will have a strong tendency to establish
confidence in this line of trade Rural

Morrow County Turkeys.

lone farmer near Cecil, on the Will
low Creek Railroad. had band OF 500
turkeys last fall, and the herder used to
take them out on the stubble fields in
the morning and drive them back to
the corral at night. The turkeys fat
tened on the scattered grain in The
fields, and as they did not eat the grass,
the owners of the fields did not care
how many turkeys were herded in the
fields. Finally Just before Thanksgiv-
ing the big band of turkeys was driven
to Coyote Station and placed on board
the GERS for Portland. The producer
was paid 30 cents head for the birds,
and thought he did we'll, while the same
turkeys cost the consumers here from
81 80 to So apiece.
"The climate of Eastern Oregon is
peculiarly adapted to turkeys, being
dry and clear for the better part OF the
wear. The birds are allowed to roam
over a vast area in search Of grain and
seeds, but the herder must be on the
lookout constantly for coyotes, for the
animals have discovered that turkey
meat is Juicy and tender, and they will
often take chances on being shot while
in quest of bird for supper.
That region used to be devoted to
sheep pasture, when the land belonged
to the government. and range was free.

ORIENTAL IMPORTS DECREASING
Uaited States Seems to Be LOOsing the
Trade Of China and Japan.

A Washington dispatch says: A
marked characteristic Of the export
trade of the United States in recent
months is reduction in the value OF
exports to China and Japan. The total
values of merchandise exported to
China in the eight months ending
with August, 1906, is but S22,000,0 900,
against $42,OO0,OOO in the correspond
ing months of 1905, and to Japan $21,-
100000, against $99,O00,O00 in the
same months Of 1905, while to Asia
as a whole the exports are but $751;
100000 as against $95,000,00O in the
corresponding months of 1905.
The cause Of this startling reduc-
ton in China, the report gives as two
abnormal conditions of demand, name
", the Russo-Japanese war practically
closing the northern part of China to
importations, resulting in unusually
large orders Immediately afterwards,
and the order Of the Chinese provin-
cial governments for copper coinage,
the United StateS being the largest
copper-producing country in the
world. In Japan a return to ordinary
conditions also is the explanation CIV
en- for the reduction of exports to
Japan.

The Cost Of New York.

New York city's budget next year
will be $116,805,490.37 This is one
fifth of the total expenditures of the
151 cities of the United States having
a population Of over 10000 Including
the bond issues, New York spends
one-third. New York spends more
than the six next largest cities-Chi-
cago, Philadelphia, St Louis, Balti-
more, Boston and Cleveland Al
though its population is only twice
Chicagos, it's government costs four
times as much. It's debt is more than
a third Of the aggregate city debt,
which is larger than the national
debt. The per capita debt of all
these cities is $57, or less than half
New York's.
New York's expenditures exceed
those of any foreign city. The Lon
don Council uses only $50,0OO,0O0
year. Paris expenditures do not

neighbors was equally good for the

printer to run off some pamphlets

distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
