suits One person in a commu-

cannot accomplish it alone. He
must have the corporation of

cooperation to make il effectuaI

What We need is TO realize our
unit value when combined with
other factors. Being composed
OF units, our population as a whole
is affected by what We are ind.

Not only is it a duty, but every
man, woman and child should be

The kaiser's suite wore imposing

The German press, judging from
the warm greeting. is unanimous in
declaring that the visit augurs for
peace between the nations.

Referring to the statement OF the
"oregon Wool Grower" published In
the Pendleton Tribune under date OF
August 9. we note that this wool
grower makes the charge that the
person who gave the information to
the East Oregonian does not at all
understand the wool question.
We quote from the Tribune's aru-
Gle: "In the first place the oregon
fleece will average about ~ pounds,
while that in Montana is only eight
pounds, approximately in both cases,
and since the grade Of sheep in both
states is about the same the difference
is found in the dirt in Oregon wool
It is plain to be seen and understood,
therefore, that the buyer who has
paid l2 cents for oregon wool in the
dirt has given more for 1t than the
Montana man who has received 16
cents"
The fact is that this wool grower
does not evidently understand the
wool sntuation very we'll himself. In
stead Of the Oregon sheep shearing II
pounds, statistics show that for a
number OF years they sheared S.6
pounds, and instead of the Montana
sheep shearing eight pounds they
shear 67 pounds.
Average Oregon Price II Cents.
We originally made the statement
that the average price of the Oregon
clip was IL cents, but we are now
satisfied that the average is about II
cents
with oregon sheep shearing S.5
pounds OF wool at IL cents per pound,
we have 93.5 cents as the average
value OF the oregon clip. With the
Montana sheep shearlng ca pounds
per sheep AT an average OF 10 centS
per pound. we have an average value
per sheep in Montana of $1.O72. The
average price paid in Montana, how
ever is above 16 cents
We note what the Tribune wool
grower has to say relative TO the
grade of sheep in Montana being tbt
same as that in Oregon. This state
ment also indicates that the Tribune
wool grower is not well informed, for
the fact is that Oregon has the best
grade OF merlno sheep of any state
in the union. including Ohio,
AS evidence OF this fact, we notice
such Montana buyers as C. NJ. BeaI
and Will Rea and dozens of Others
coming to oregon this year to pur-

Had the earth swallowed up Eph-
riam Hedberg, who stepped off 0. r.
& n. train No. on the night of Aug
ust 5, at Umatilla, his disappearance
would not have been more complete.
Mr.. Hedberg was a retired farmer
OF Cumberland, wis, on his way to
Ashland, Ore, in company with his
daughter Elina, aged 26, and in pass
ing through Umatilla he stepped off
for a moment to get a cup Of coffee
and since that moment he has not
been seen or heard Of.
His nephew, G. H. Hedberg'
Southern Pacific lineman of Ashland,
arrived in the city today to make In
quiry concerning his uncle, but as he
looks into the matter the mystery
deepens and there is absolutely no
clew to re old gentleman's where
abouts.
Ephriam Hedberg was SO years Of
age. about five feet six inches in
height, weighed about 1876 punds, had
black hair and sandy mustache and
was dressed in a common business
suit with soft hat and shirt and had
drafts for $1,000 in his pockets on the
Cumberland State bank, of Cumber-
land, wis. When last seen he was in
good health and perfectly sane. 1t
is believed he met with foul play.
He was on his way to Ashland to
invest in a small property and was
accompanied by his daughter, who
Immediately missed her father, but
who supposed he was in another car
of the train and that he would soon
come to his seat. But upon the fall
ure Of the father to reurn the Caugh-
ter then thought that he had been
left at Umatilla and that he would
follow on the next train and so she
proceeded to Ashland where she still
anxiously awaits news of her father.
All the banks in the country have
been notified of the disappearance of
the drafts and it will be impossible
to cash them if the old man has been
murdered
There is absolutely no clew as to
the cause or reason for his disappear
ance and the nephew who will spend
several weeks making a personal
search is at a loss to know where to
begin.
Sheriff Taylor has been notified Of
the disappearance and will render
every assistance in finding the miss
ing man,
