CONTROLS RAILWAYS.
General Public Regards Government
i'm Favorable Light.

Government ownership of railways
is regarded favorably by the general
public in Austria, reports Consul Cen
cal Rublee, of Vienna. The opera
tions of the state railways, however,
in 1906, resulted in a deficit of $16,-
$4,000. This was due to the state
being forced to assume the ownership
of lines that were worked at loss, as
well as being obliged to construct
railways mainly valuable from a
strateglcal point of view and also to
a considerable extent, doubtless due
to the policy of granting in some
cases minimum rates below the ac-
tual cost of operation in order to fos-
ter certain industries
The freight rates granted for sugar
formed a striking instance Of this, the
Austrian beet sugar industry, owing
to its importance, mainly to its great
export trade, which amounts to three
fourths of the entire output. This ex-
port of sugar is only rendered possi-
BILE by the reduced rates by the state
ana DY TIE bltdlll5iilP lllANA C9lS'
The government rilways in Austria
at the beginning Of this year had a
mileage of $500, which will now be
increased by the lines just taken over
making an aggregate of 11,272 miles.
The roads still under private con-
troll have a mileage Of 1000. The
Railway Minister has full control of
the state railways and also supervi-
sion Of the various private companies,
and the government thereby prevents
over-capitalzatiOn of stock. Secret
rebates have never been permitted,
although preferential rates for the en-
couragement Of exports or for the
benefit Of some special industry have
been granted. The control Of freight
rates Is an important complement of
the customs policy. enabling the gov
ernment to combat adverse customs
regulations Of adjoining countries.
The lines Just taken over by the gov
ernment were acquired in furtherance
Of this policy.

crop may be cut for hay and fed to
sheep in this form, or it may be pas
tured off with sheep. In Colorado the
latter system is practiced successful
ly In the dry climate of eastern Or
egon it is thought this crop may be
allowed to ripen and be pastured with
sheep in the fall or early winter. This
will be the less expensive method of
utilizing the crop.
There is no doubt but what large
and profitable sheep feeding industry
can be developed in the wheat grow
ing section of the inland empire. Not
only will it add another industry to
the agricultural resources of this Sec
tion, but it will also supply the means
for greater revenues from the farms
and at the same time place agricul-
ture upon a more substantial and en-
during basis.

oregon is entering upon new era
Of agricultural development. The
one-crop systems of the past are
rapidly yielding to more diversified
methods Of husbandry. This is made
possible by reason of the develop
ment Of stable markets for the varied
products of the farm.
The great agattolrs to be establish
ed at Portland are going 10 provide
an outlet for large numbers of live
stock No part Of our state will re-
ceive greater benefits from these mod
ern packing plants than will eastern
Oregon. Tbs new order Of things
will enable the wheat farmer Of the
inland empire to successfully engage
in the growing and fattening of live
stock in connection with wheat grow
ing.
For wheat growing, the Columbia
river basin can not be excelled. How
ever, exclusive wheat growing can
not be continued indefinitely. There
are but few crops that will exhaust
the soil more rapidly than wheat, es-
pecially so when grown under sum-
mer fallowed conditions. No soil is
so rich but that It can be exhausted.
It matters not how rich a soil may be
at the beginning. continuous wheat
growing will finally exhaust it, For
example. every ton Of wheat the farm
ct ships from his farm carries with 1t
Ss worth Of plant food. Livestock
husbandry is. Indispensable for the
maintenance of soil fertility. The
fattening Of livestock and wheat
growing go hand in hand nicely. Not
gnly will livestock solve the problem
Of plant food and crop production,
but it will enable the farmer to util-
ne all OF his land all the time. At
present one-half Of his farm is idle.
It viii also provide employment
throughout the whole year.
The question Of markets has been
solved and the only problem now is
production II matters but little
what branch Of livestock husbandry
is followed, whether It be horses, cat
tie, sheep or swine. the field for the
production Of either IS certainly an
lnvltino one. However. upon the or
dinary wheat farms Of eastern Oregon
pork and mutton production will
probably be found 10 be the most de-
sirablc. IN fac'. conditions over
large area Of the Columbia river basin
are osrecially well suited to th- eco
nomital production Of these classes

There should be .rainloads NJ fat
hogs aud sheep shipped out annually

ing grounds for lamb and mutton pro-
duction OF the northwest should be

Lamb and Mutton Production.

lion sheep in eastern Oregon. The

Seattle, Wash, Washington lum-
bermen are not getting as good prices
for their products this fall as are the
lumbermen in Oregon. This is shown
by the October Lumber Bulletin, COM
piled by officers of the forest service,
located in Seattle. No comments as
to reasons for the differences in
prices are made in the forestry bulle-
tin, but lumbermen are unanimous in
saying that the low prices quoted in
this state are due to price cutting by
some firms.
The figures published in the forest
service bulletin are compiled from ac-
tual sales made in the two states The
average, the high and the low prices
on the different products from each
Douglas fir flooring, No. 1, the aver
age price paid to Washington mills
was $25.1O per thousand, the high
price was $25.41 and the low price
$24.30. The average price paid to
mills in the Portland district for ex-
actly the same lumber was s2707,
the high price $275O and the low
price $3.50.
The difference in prices on No. 2
and No. flooring was just as wide.
on finishing, No. 2. the average price
paid to Western Washington mills was
$22.07, and the high price S23.40 The
mills of the Portland district averaged
$22.8S on this stock, with $23.62
their high price. The willamette val
ley mills averaged $3.50 and receiv-
ed s23 as their high price.
On No. slash grain siding the high
price paid to Washington mills was
$3.50 and the average price $16.S3.
For the same stock the Portland mills
received 1883 as their high price
and an average price of $1819, while
the Willamette valley mills averaged
$19, and received $22 as their top
price.
"Cut lists have succeeded freight
rate uncertainty as a factor in the
market demoralization," said Robert
p. Allen, editor Of the Pacific Lumber
Trade Journal. in explaining this sit
uation. "The interstate commerce
commission and the courts have es-
tabllshed a definite rate basis on which
to figure shipments and the future is
in the hands Of the manufacturer and
the wholesaler. 1t is up to them to
say whether or not this current period
Of unintelligent competition shall pre-
dominate in 1909."-P. I.

OREGON ENTERING UPON NEW ERA
Of AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Colorado. The farmers in these Sec
tons find this industry to be a prof
table one. Conditions are highly IA
yoratlc for the development of a prof
fable sheep feeding industry Oh the
cheat farms of eastern Oregon. This
i1dustry will not only yield largs di-
rect returns to the farmer, but will
also conserve the fertility of the
farm. Climatic and soil conditions
are very favorable to the industry.
The comparatively dry atmosphere
and a soil practically free from mud
are conducive TO the health Of the
flock. Hence the losses from dis
ease will be reduced to the minimum.
Quality of the product will also be
an important factor. Sheep fattened
upon nitrogenous food are superior to
those fattened upon corn. Their flesh
is of better quality, more solid and
commands a premium in the market.
Sheep are also the best cleaners up
on a grain farm. They not only pick
up the waste grain, but consume a
great many weeds and thus convert
them into valuable edible food. Mus
tary, while an undesirable weed in
grain, is consumed by sheep with avid
aty. Thus sheep not only add fertil-
ity to the farm but they can clean the
farm as well.
In fact, a great quantity Of rough
age on a grain farm which ordinarily
goes to waste may be profitably utiliz-
ed by sheep. II is this trail Of sheep
to which the Spanish proverb, "The
Sleeps hoof is golden" evidently re-
fers. The question of methods should
receive careful attention. 1t will
probably not be found desirable for
farmers to maintain breeding flocks
upon wheat farms, but rather pur-
chase his feeding stock from the
rangeman. Perhaps the most impor-
tant problem will be the production
Os the right class Of feed. AS before
stated, nitrogenous feed produces the
best quality Of mutton. Thus the
principal rough feed should consist
Of the legumes. There is no question
but what profitable crops Of alfalfa
can be grown over a large area Of the
wheat belt Of eastern Oregon. Alfal-
IA hay and small supplemental feed
OF wheat screenings or barley make
an excellent food for sheep. Another
combination that has been successful
~ grown Is alfalfa and beardless bar
Icy. After the alfalfa Is thoroughly
established, each spring It is well cul-
tivated and a small seeding Of beard
loss barley is'drilled in among the al
falfa. If this Is done early in the
spring the barley and alfalfa will be
ready for hay abont the same time
and makes an excellent fattening food
for other cattle or sheep. This class
OF hay will fatten either cattle or
sheep without a supplemental grain
food. II is thought, however, that
the most feasible crop and one that
is the most suitable for a rotation in
wheat growing is the field pea, or the
| field pea and beardless barley grown
together. The pea crop on the wheat
farm can be sown as a rotation and
takes the place largely Of the bare
fallow. This crop may be utilized as
sheep feed in two general ways. The

"Why, my love, because I've had all
my wisdom teeth pulled out!' explain
ed the foolish little lady.
But, my darling" demonstrated the
husband, Its only a silly superstition,

have anything to do with wisdom. If
you were to have every tooth in your
head extracted it wouldn't make you
any stupider, you know"
