HOG MARKET IS
FIRM At SS.05
BEST QUALITY FINDS
MANY EAGER BUYERS
Prospects for Continued Good Mar
ket for Swine Could Not Be Better
Insistcnt Demand for Better Grade
of CattIe-Prices Nominal in
Sheep.

Union Stockyards, Stockdale, Nov.
15.-The local hog market is now
firmly establ shed at sS05 for the
very best quality. There was several
sales at this figure Saturday and one
carload went at the same price this
morning.
AS a general rule the arrivals are
not showing toppy quality and most
of the run is now selling around
$7.S5 7.90 while some transactions
are shown as high as So for the days
work
Run of hogs over Sunday was the
heaviest Of recent days but demand
has been so good that receivers are
experiencing no difficulty in unload
ing the various qualities at the prices
quoted.
Those who have the best quality
are finding very eager buyers and
present indications are a good feeling
will prevail in the local swine mar
ket all through the present week.
Total run Of hogs in the Stockdale
yards over Sunday was 1046 head
compared with 754 Saturday, "a Fri
day 246, Thursday, 523 Wednesday,
639 Tuesday and none a week ago
hogs in the Portland yards was 709
head
Strength in Hogs Year Ago.
Around holiday time there is usu-
ally quite a good demand for swine
in the yards. A year ago for this same
period, hogs were quoted with the
firmer tone with prices showing an
inclination to advance.
Recent transactions in the east
have been on a firm basis and as
long as this condition continues there
is not likely to be any falling off of
prices here
Poor Cattle Form General Run.
Most of the cattle which came for
ward TO the Stockdale yards over Sun
day. were of poor or ordinary quail
ity. No toppers were among the
run. Demand for best qualt ty is in
creasing and from this viewpoint 1t
looks as II a premium over prevail
ing quotations would be obtainable
for something better than is now
shown. With the holidays in sight
there is always a demand for much
better class Of cattle and the trade
is therefore quite willing to pay a
premium for a limited amount.
This strength in the cattle situa-
ton is not foreign to the local mar
ket so far as good stuff is concerned
for even during the period wherein
there was no call at all for ordinary
cattle and from 90 to 80 carloads
were being carried over every day;
select steers and cows sold Just as
high as ever.
Good calves are extremely scarce
in the local market while demand re-
mains good. One carload came in this
morning but 1t was not what the trade
was seeking Better stuff would
bring more money.
Goats Go to Tacoma Packer.
There was quite a liberal run of
goats in the yards over Sunday,
bunch of $40 head being received
from Corvallis. The run was en-
route to Carsten Packing company at
Tacoma.

A careful estimate has shown
that ii costs Ito sell goods than
it does to make them, in other
words, the high cost of living is
not due 80 much to the increased
value of the materials that enter
into the necessities of life as to the
expense of distribution. 1t would
seem to US, in view of the condi-
tions presented, that the cost of
selling should be looked into as
much rs the cost Of production,

Farmer Government.

The farmers unions for ming in
the west and the south promise to
become a powerful political force.
They are not parties such as the
Populist party was. Neither have
they the loose and nnwieldy strac.

They arc real considerations with
rules and laws and purposes agreed
upon, taking their clue from the
organizations of trade unions and
industrial associations.
Only recently have the unions
decided that their strength was
sufficient to take a bold hand in
politics. The farmers union yerv

he was protectionist Democrat,

Protecting the Unwary.

Another good work has been be-
gun by the Post Office Department
in its inauguration Of campaign
against the fraudulent brokerage
firms which seek TO sell worthless
corporation stocks through the
mails. The government has for
some time been directing assaults
upon swindling operations of min.
ing and oil companies, and now the
Federal guns are being turned up
on agents for these enterprises,
whose headquarters in the East
have lent a semblance OF respecta-
biIity to The schemes they offered.
Within the memory of the average
person it was easy TO carry on
fraudulent business ventures thru
the United States mail. Eyen fif-
teen years ago no such close watch
was kept on the mails as the post
Office officials now maintain. Then
an illegitimate enterprise had to
be very fragrant, indeed, in lis
methods if it got into trouble.

An Editors View.

Some subscriber asked Frank
,Jarrel what ne considered the best
system Of religion. whereupon
Jarrel deposed as follows: ''ln our
humble opinion the best system
of religion is that which brings to
you the greatest peace and COM
fort. The only religion we know
in this county is the Christian re
ligion-based on the teachings of
Jesus-a religion which, we be-
lieve, has been a marvellous MD to
mankind. As John J. Ingalls, once
said: 'Pilate and Herod and

he shall affiliate, the manner in
which he shall practice his religion,

for himself; and his accountability,
so long as his conduct transgresses
not on the rights of others, is to
his Maker alone. Every man
should strive to live in such Il man.
ner that when he places his head
on his pillow at night it will be
with the feeling that he is at peace
with his God. his family, his

worth striving for. Perhaps this

Theology Must be Replaced by Ethics

''The truth is, the function which
the pulpit might fill in these days
is largely preempted by the soci-

Elements and similar institutions

conditions and the bridging of the
chasm between the masses and the
classes have nsurped the place
erstwhile held by the Church.
"Would the Church reclaim lis
lost ground, it must adapt itself to
the prevailing sociological obses
sion and act as the go-between for
the separated components of So
ciety. To the men of means it
must bring home the feelings and
views of the less favored. To
those upon whom the hurden of
the social conditions is heavier and
heaviest, it must bring the message
of fraternity. The Church must
democratize itself. The distinction
between the clergy and the
laity must be minimized. The
clergy shall grow to be body of

The Globe Democrat at the con-
clusion of an editorial leader on
the death of Hartman says: "Had
Hartman lived for few years
longer he might have acquired a
power which would be a peril to
the Republic" When paper as
conservative as the Globe, with its
we'll known proclivity for endorsing
modern commercial methods and
operations, makes statement like
that, it is time for the people to sit
up and take notice of where they
are permitting their government
to drift. The death of MIR. Harri.
man does not mean that the danger
TO which the Globe alludes has
been averted or even checked.
There will be no dissemination
of the work Of Hartman or the
processes by which he pursued
that work. Having pointed out
the way he will have his followers
and emulators. The danger is just
as great now as it was while Har-
liman was alive, and there is but
