East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-27

Between 10000 and $4,000 head Of
mixed yearling sheep have been ship
ned from Arlington within the past
two weeks. THIS was the statement
made by Secretary Dan p. Smythe OF
the state wool growers association.
who returned this morning from Port
land and Arlington, where he had
been to attend the sessions OF the
state board of sheep commissioners
and to care for his sheep interests,
The price paid for the sheep shipped
was from SO to 81 per head. This
price is considered very good, mas
much as the same class of sheep were
selling this time last season at from
S2.75 to 1926 per head. Wright the
North yakima buyer, r. F. Bicknell
and Scott Anderson were among the
heaviest purchasers. The first named
has shipped his purchases to Yakima
while the last two have shipped into
Idaho.
Shearing Season Nears End.
According to Smythe, the shearing
season in the vicinity OF Arlington
viii close In about ten days. the
smythe plant will finish tomorrow
after removing the wool from the
backs of $4,000 head OF sheep
In UmatiIla county the season VIII
last longer as some are just starting
In while others have finished. One OF
the largest plants In the county, that
OF the ]. f. Smith company at Barn
hart will start up tomorrow.
As the shearing season progresses
the prophesies OF good clips are be-
ing realized The wool this season Is
of especially good quality, the fleeces
heing unbroken and of good staple.
Ten Million Pounds Sold.
Authoratve reports from Idaho are
to the effect that 100000 pounds
of this years. clip has already been
contracted for In that state. The
highest price paid was 21h cents
Reports from Wyoming. however
show that as high as 22% cents per
mound has been offered there and that
considerable quantities have been
sold at this extraordinary high figure.
The big storage warehouse at Chi
cago is nearing completion and VIII
be ready to receive shipments from
the western states within n very short
time. The wool growers have em-
ployed a man to place In charge OF
the warehouse and are paying him
salary OF $4,000 annually. His name
is Whitehead. formerly with n Phila-
delphia firm and he Is regarded as
one OF the very best wool handlers In
~
America.
A few more days will also witness
the close OF the lambing season. 1t Is
practically finished now in the vicin-
ity of Arlington and the western part
of Umatilla county, though It viii not
be ended in the foot hills for several
days
Iambing Practically Finished.
This has been an ideal season for
lambing and the percentage OF In
crease will be large. In and around
Arlington It will be from 90 to 100
per cent and It is thought that the
average for Umatilla county will be
above 90 per cent. Secretary Smythe
is in receipt OF letter from the Sec
retary of the Antelope association in
which he says the percentage of In
crease in that vicinity will be about
90 per cent.
In ordinary years the increase runs
from so to 95 per cent, but with ideal
weather and good grass 1t has been
possible this spring to save a larger
number Of the lambs than usual.

METHoDs or NOMINATION

There has been some criticism Of
the petition method OF placing candi-
dates in the field for public ONCE.
especially since the Hamilton tick
ct owes its existence to that method,
but since last nights caucuses, which
were. In some instances, cleary pack
cd In the interest Of certain can
dIdates, many persons are OF the
opinion that the petition method Is
the most representative after all and
affords an opportunity to all citizens
to participate In nomination, since
any ten persons In a ward may place
candidates in the field by petition
and fifty may place candidates for
city Offices In the field. while three
men can hold a caucus for the nom
ination OF aldermen. and the coming
city convention TO which delegates
we're elected last evening will have
but 26 men 70 name the ticket as
against the 80 required to sign per
tition for the same purpose. Which
Il the most representative Section
1856 OF the Revised Codes provides;
Candidates for public ONCE may
be nominated otherwise than by con-
vontion or primary meeting. in the
following manner; A certificate OF
nomination, containing the name Of
the candidate for the once to be
filled. with Iuch information as IL re-
auired to be given, In certificates pro-
vided for in Section ass. shall be
signed by electors residing within
the district or political division in
and for which the oficer or ofIieeTs
are to be elected. In the following
numb0rE; The number OF signatures.
when the nomination Ii for state
once, shall not be less than three
hundred; for district once, or sub
division Of the state including two or
more counties. the number OF sigma
lures shall not be less than one hun
dred and ATTY: for a county once.
not less than fifty; and for town
ship. precinct or ward once. not less
than ten"
Il Will be plainly seen from the
above section OF the election law OF
this state that the nomination BY pc
tition Is tho most simple and very
strict In its requirements to guard
against nominations being made by
= clique OF three or four persons.
There il so much dissatisfaction with
last nights caucuses that the talk OF

THIS snrrLrs IF.

Occasionally a man bobs up whose wonderful intellect is equal to the so- luton of the most intricate problems that ever came forward to vex and perplex humanity. Others may study till their brains ache without finding & solution, but the man who knows things just reels off the answer as cas- lily as one unwinds a ball of yarn.
 No more vexing problem has ever come up to worry humanity than that which goes under the general term of "the liquor question" Wise men. spe- cialists, humanitarians. sociologists and all the rest have strained their inteF lects in the effort to find way to prevent the manufacture. sale or use of any sort of intoxicant but still the business goes on. Here, however. comes up one Thomas Malloy to settle it al- most in a single sentence. "The way to settle the liquor question" he de- clares, "is to kill the farmers. Then there would be no stuff made. as there would be no grain grown to make 1t from. That is the root of the evil. and say that as long as there Is some- thing to make the stun from 1t will be made and sold"
 Is not that deliciously. refreshingly simple and to the point? If there Is no drink made there will be no drink CTS, and we all know that, there can be no drink unless there's something to make it of. True, there is much H. quor made of other substances than grain. but such vast preponderance of 1t is made from that material tha if there were no grain raised the sup ply of booze would be vastly insufi- cient to supply the demand. What better plan can be suggested for stop ping raising grain than by killing all the farmers? The New Haven Regis ter asks if it would not be a better and, more direct plan to kill all the drinke CTS. but we don't think that would be going at 1t in just the right way. Plainly the Malloy plan possesses all the merits of simplicity and directness.

AN UNUSUAL PROCEEDING.

"A man." remarks The Pittsburg Sun. "who will give up lucrative and influential public position because his superiors require him to do something that his own conscience doesn't ap- prove of is a rarity of so high de- gree as to call for special mention. Such a man is United States District Attorney Joseph B. Healing. of Indian apolis, who was called upon to partici- pate in the extraordinary prosecution of certain editors who incurred the wrath of President Roosevelt in the Panama canal controversy. Mir. Keal- ing's opposition to the prosecution of these editors is due not to the person. ality of the men attacked, or to the case itself, so much as to the principle underlying. He is especially set against the proposition to hale the accused be- fore a tribunal at the capital. instead of trying them where the offense. if any, was committed. MT. Kealing's brave. conscientious, self-sacrifcing ac- tion not only comments him to the ap- proval of all who respect opinions for principles sake, but 1t will impose fresh burden of doubt on the unpre- cedented action taken by Roosevelt In the matter"
 If there had been nothing in the way but the personality of the alleged crim- inals MT. Healing would have gone ahead and performed his duty. An at- torney. and especially a public prose- against his best friends, and against men wh om he holds in high esteem. but such considerations cannot be allowed to stand in the way of duty if the of- ficial is honest and conscientious. His first duty is to the state and the law, and that duty cannot be shirked be- cause the offender is a friend.
 In the matter above referred to the case was quite different. Mir. Healing was convinced that the blundering or malicious suit instituted by Roosevelt against cerldln newspapers was WTOHB in it's inception and in the principles involved, and that the editors and man. agers of the newspaper involved should not be prosecuted. Especially was he convinced of the wrong of attempting to force the accused editors to go to Washington to attend court and be tried for alleged offenses committed In other States. Whether we call the prosecution merely one of Roosevelt's many bull-headed blunders or whether we look on 1t as evidence of ma licious desire for revenge. matters lit- tie, so far as the facts are concern ed Tn deciding to resign a good po sition rather than be a party to a legal outrage Mir. Healing makes a 1 rather unusual record.
