Preserving the Public Lands.

c. II. Forbes Lindsay, in the current Harper's Weekly. contributes an articie entitled. Preserving the Public Lands," in which he says that large areas of coal lands have already passed out of the hands of the government in the form of grants to railroads and other corpora tions, as well as to individuals A recent investigation of the interstate commerce commission showed that the most exten- sive frauds have been practised in secur- ing these lands, and that rigid monop- oily has been established in the western the public lands that thousands of acres sion. stated to the House committee on the Public Lands that thousands of acres of coal land, known to be coal land, have been entered on coal declaratory state ments-which Is declaration of their intention to locate and perfect the title made in many instances by syoung women," and in others by clerks, stenog- raphers and similarly irresponsible per- sons, who immediately transferred the property thus dishonestly acquired to the operating corporations. In similar saan- ner, rich coal lands have been purchased from the government at s2.50 per acre Ion the allegation that they were principally valuable for agricultural and grazing purposes

1t is reported by the best of
authority that the majority of
the stockmen in the mountains
south Of Condor who ship their
stock to Portland, ship it from
Shaniko. Almost all of these do
their business there, buy their
clothing, groceries, in fact all of
their supplies. Why is this? To
use the words of one of these
stockmen, this is the reason:
'The reason we ship our cattle
from Shaniko instead of Condor
is because in the stock-yards at
Condor there is neither scales
nor water, while at Shaniko there
is both. We would much rather
ship from Condor and do our
trading there but we can't afford
to ship from there nor make an
extra trip over there to buy sup
plies" This is not the senti-
ment of one man alone, but of
all who ship much stock. Even
Brunei & Son, our local buyers,
ship most of their stock from
Shaniko for this same reason.
The city of Condor loses thous-
ands Of dollars every year. mon
ey that would otherwise come
here but for the fact that our
stockyards are not up-to-date.
Would it pay to look after this?

According to an exchange,
the majority of eastern Oregon
sheepmen will devote the entire
month of January to trapping,
poisoning and otherwise ridding
the country of the sheepmen's
pest, the coyote. At the time
the So bounty was declared off
the coyotes were few and far be-
tween but now it is a common
thing to see them roaming over
the hills, sometimes four or five
in bunch.

MASQUERADE BALL

Maskers Show Good Taste In
Observation-Disclosures

The masquerade ball given at
the skating rink last Friday ev-
ening was a success in every
way. The costumes were well
gotten up and not a few Of them
were very appropriate. The ball
was attended by about $50 peo-
pie many Of whom were specta-
tors. Shouts of laughter greeted
the appearance and antics of
the maskers who were there for
that purpose. Four judges were
chosen early in the evening and
and after an hour and a half Of
dancing, the judges awarded the
prize for the best lady masker,
a glove and handkerchief box to
the lady representing the Gillian
Co. Milling Co.. Mrs. w. l..
Blakely, and prize for the best
gentleman masker, a smoking
set. to Master James Flett, who
took the part Of a Brownie. Mrs.
Blakely's costume was unique,
being made of flour sacks sewed
into a dress with the brands on
the outside. Several other cos
tunes were worthy of mention
especially those representing the
Kerr, Clifford and Interior Ware
houses, which were made OF
grain sacks. After the prizes
were given the participants un-
masked and dancing was the or.
der until a late hour.

Everybody Knows
the name Studebaker

Manufacturer of Wagons and
South Bend Watches. We don't
sell the Wagons but we do sell the
Watches to those who insist upon
having them. We like to sell
them for one reason, and yet We
don't like TO for another reason.
The reason we like to sell them is
because the margin OF profit is
much greater than on our higher
grade watches, yet we would rather
sell you standard timepiece which
we know would give entire salts,
faction and make you our perma-
nent customer. We sell more
watches than any other dealer in
the county for two reasons, the
first is because we handle all the
high grade movements, and never
try to talk a customer into buying
an inferior article, knowing that
by SO doing we not only lose his
trade, but also his good will, and
sacrifice our established reputation
for square dealing and reliability.
The second reason is expressed in
a very few words, being nothing
more or less than that our prices
are about 25 per cent. lower than
those Of our competitors, regard
less Of their misleading assertions,
and we are here to prove it to you.
Our goods are marked in plain fig
ures, and we have but one price to
