SHOULD PAY The FARMER
MORE FOR HIS PRODUCTS
|. P. DuncaIf Makes Suggestion as
to the Patronizing of Catalogue
Houses,

]. p. Duncalf of this city, who
combines farming wit his local
business enterprises, takes some ex-
ceptionS to many of the articles that
have been published of late relative
to farmers patronizing catalogue
houses in preference to local mer-
chants and gets back at the mer-
chant with a request that the busi-
ness man first set the example of
"patronizing home industry"
Mr.. Duncalf says: Il emphati-
cally believe in the practice of
patronizing home industry, every
time, and 1 always follow the prac-
tice. But there are two sides to the
tale of the catalogue house.
when a farmer brings his potatoes
for instance, or even his butter or
other products, to the city for
market, he hardly ever gets the same
price for his products that the mer-
chant pays when he sends away
for potatoes, etc., which many OF
them do, right here in this city. 1t
naturally makes the farmer hot
when he cannot get as much for
his fresh-grown vegetables, and
new-made butter that is the product
of the COW, as the dairyman in a

SAVING FIVE Per CENT e.: =:
TREES NOT PRACTICABLE
A Local Lumberman Says Many Of the
~ Trees are Blown Down and !
Destroyed.

This idea of the government
that successful bidders for Indian
reservation pine hould leave a few
trees standing, so as to promote the
growth of others, is not very good
one, says local lumberman. IF
the trees would only remain stand
ing the scheme would not be so bad,
but being unprotected from the
wind storms they are broken off in
almost every instance before logging
operations have been finished more
than year or two.
The loggers of eight or ten years
ago carried out much of the same
idea, although for no such charit-
able purpose. They left the small
trees standing because they had
plenty of others,and it was too much
trouble to handle the little ones.
These same loggers wouldn't think
the same way now, with lumber and
logs selling at their present price.
Every stick of any size at all is
utilized these days, and a good pro-
fit is to be fouhd in the handling.
Not many of the trees thus left
standing few years ago are still iii
an upright position. If the wind
did not destroy them the forest fire
did. The chance for forest fires on
government lands now isn't so
great as under the old style, for
then all the branches and tops were
left scattered promiscuously about
the ground, where now the govern
ment makes it compulsory that they
be piled up and burned. This is a
good plan. for usually the worst
fires start in old pine slashings.
Once the leftover tops and branches
become thoroughly dry they burn
with great readiness, and it takes
only spark to set them going"

the high schools of the state, which

the State university, the Library com.
mission and the public schools of the

The commission will enlist the CO.

furnish all of the books and literature
from which to obtain material when a
series OF debates will be outlined and
followed out. The series will close
with joint debate at the university
between the winning school teams OF
Eastern and Western Oregon for the
state championship.
These debates will embrace all grades

RIOTS EXPECTED IN INDIA.
eaII Cartridges Given to Volunteers
and High Officials Enlist.

Lahore, British India, April 90
Rifles and 20 rounds of ball cartridges
have been served out to the local volun.
teers In consequence Of signs of marked
unrest among the Hindoo student ele-
ment. The publication OF infammato to.
ry articles in the native newspa pers,
melting race hatred against the Euro
peans and demanding native control OF
the government Of India by means of
an elected parliament, has been follow
ed recently by riots at Lahore and else
where in the Pnnjab and by attacks on
Europeans. Professional and political
agitators ale now fomenting strikes on
the railroads, and the government has
concluded that it is time to suppress
the rioting by forceful means, if neces.
sary.
The authorities are satisfied that a
determined front will speedily end the
outward signs OF disaffection, especially
as they have the unanimous support of
the great Mohammedsn population,
who, at numerus mass meetings, have
emphatically condemned the anti
European movement. Recent events
nave given remarkable impulse to
enlistment in the volunteers. The re-
crults include five judges of the Su-
preme court, the directors Of public in
struction, university professors, high
government officials and leading bank
ers and merchants, all of whom have
entered the ranks Of the privates.
