THE RANGE AND THE NATIONS
BEEF SUPPLY

The heavy migration westward in
to the semi-arid section is leading
to the breaking up OF the great
ranges and, for the present at least.
to a diminution of the beef supply.
If these semi-arid lands were manag-
ed wisely they would furnish more
cattle and more sheep than under
range conditions. They are now In
that country between "hay and
grass" and during this transition
period there must inevitably be a de-
crease in beef and mutton produc-
tion.
The decrease in beef cattle from
1907 to 1908 was 1,492,731 head,
and the present supply falls short
of last years total by $4,000. With
rapidly growing population through
births and immigration, our supply
of beef cattle is declining until we
have lost over two million In the last
two years. The reports of the Blu
reau of Animal Husbandry show that
the cattle slaughtered at the respec-
tive points decreased $4,000 from
1907 to 1909, and calves $4,000.
Unless farmers In the corn belt
increase the supply of cattle more
rapidly than they are doing now,
there will be very wide complaint
of the high price of meats and a des-
| perate effort made by the packing
interests to bring in beef from the
Argentine. Congress will be urged
to vote subsidies to steamship lines
to South America, in order that
cheaper meats may be supplied for
the hungry millions. What is need
ed is not subsidies, but more cattle
grown on our own farms.
Unfortunately the high price of
corn is deterring men from growing
live stock, and this inevitably tends
to decrease the fertility Of the farm
and makes it more difficult to get
| agriculture on scientific basis. We
can not go on growing corn or any
other grain for sale on the market
and maintain the fertility of the soil
All history teaches this lesson. Every
farm in the west should grow more
or less live stock, and unless 1t does
we must expect the continuance of
the decline in soil fertility which
has been going on for the vast hum
bred years.

DENVER, Dec. 5.--After stealing
$1,000 from under her fathers nil

brother to prevent the disclosure of
her plans, Hilada Brown, Is years
old, daughter Of U. p. Brown, started
on a tour of the Pacific coast last
night
Accompanied by Addie Brant, aged
10, she obtained the money, which
was in large bills, before her father
was awake this morning. Fearing
her brother would betray her, she
forced him to accompany her to Gold
en-, where he was placed in a board

week. The girls then bought several
hundred dollars worth of fashion

HAS FAMOUS GUN

Major d. w. Gwydir, ex-Indian
agent on the Colville reservation,
in recent years, has been presented
with the famous pistol of the noted
wild Goose Bill" Samuel Wilbur
Condit, The gun, a 45-calibre, is
about foot in length, and it was
with this revolver in his hand and his
boots on that wild Goose Bill" died
January 81, 1895, after having kill
ed his foe with the weapon.
wild Goose Bill" was a native of
Orange, New Jersey, and was one of
the Argonauts who came to Califor-
MIA in the search for gold in 40.
| From that time until his death he
| lived in the west and for more than
40 years was a squaw-man. He had
two Indian wives, firing of the sec
ond and giving her few pennies and
otner trinkets to quit him in 1898,
at which time he became smitten
with a Mrs. Dunn, the cause of the
quarrel which led to his death and
to the death of his enemy, Barton
Parker.
Bill" returned to the Hollis King
ranch from a trip to Wilbur on the
day of the shooting. He found Mrs.
Dunn, Barton Parker and Jack Brat
ton at the ranch. Jealousy existed
between the men for the affections
of the woman.
AS bill" entered the cabin he
whipped out his siXshooter and OF n
ed the performance by two shots at
the woman, the second shot shatter-
ing her arm. Bratton is said to have
taken to his heels as soon as the
greetings began and a few shots be-
ing exchanged, and, beyond a bad
scare, was not harmed. But Parker,
a stage driver on the Conconully
run, was not of the running breed.
He began shooting at Bill" empty
ing his gun, and then running to an
out building for a rifle. AS he re-
appeared with the rife bill" stood
in the cabin door. The two men
fired at the same instant and both
fell dead.
wild Goose Bill" in the early
days was in the teaming and supply
business between Walla Walla and
the placer diggings on the Columbia.
Later he founded the town of Will
bur, Wash.

POULTRY NOTES

Never use for a breeding bird a
fowl that has been seriously sick
Bones furnish food grit, and lime
to chickens. If the green bone cut
ter is not part of the poultry equip
ment burn the bones and break with
a hammer. Hens need the mineral
m after which bones supply in an
economical form.
There is much waste in putting
thin hens on the market. The ex-
ira weight put on in fat after the
frame is grown is well paid for
Every poor chicken put on the mar
ket helps destroy that market. The
name of chicken has been associated
with choice mete, but glance at the
carcasses in some of our meat mar
kets would indicate that any meat
would be preferable to the thin layer
of flesh over the quaint framework
shown as chicken.
Whether it is the early Matched
pullet which makes the early broody
hen, or vice versa, does not matter;
but the fact remains that people who
get winter eggs have less use for the
incubator in early spring than do
the people whose hens do not begin
to lay till spring. Whether they
were hen Matched or incubator hatch
ed, the early Matched pullets make
the early laying and the early sitting
hens.
A full hen won't take the exercise
she needs. Make them work for a
part of their feed We do not like
the evening meal to come too hard,
as the night might find the birds
unsatisfied; but keep them scratching
through the day. Hens can stand
much cold without showing i'll eff
fects If they are kept busy

This sort of encouragement should
be an incentive for the breeder and
feeder of cattle.
Receipts at Portland Union Stock
Yards for the month ending today
have been Cattle, 6518; calves,
5S4; sheep, 7549; hogs, 12744;
horses, PA. These receipts are an
evidence of the utility of live stock
market. The approximate value of
the 457 cars that made up the re-
ceipts was 1857, 500; a tidy sum that
went into the pockets of the farm
ers and stockmen of Washington,
Idaho and Oregon.
The cattle market has been con-
sistent throughout the month. Good
cattle have brought good prices, es-
pecially in the instance of COWS. Top
prices for steers was $4.75; top
prices for COWS, 1915 and Spayed
heifers sold at $500. Light calves
have been in strong demand with
tops at $5.25.
Sheep have come forward in light
quantities and medium to poor quail
ity. Good weathers, what few there
were, sold at S4.75 for yearlings and
$3.50 for two year Odds. Lambs sold
at $5.75 for the best that were Of
fered.
Hogs have come forward rather
freely, and while during the first
week in the month, prices sagged a
little, the market promptly recover
ed and has been strong and high.
Tops were $50 with bulk of sales
at $500. All of the prices herein
quoted have been on good qualities
for this market. Poor quality stuff
has sold low and the divergence be-
tween good and poor grades is con-
stantly growing wider.

WILL ASK FOR A PARDON FOR
CONVERTED HOLDUP

A petition to Gov. NJ. e. Hay is
being circulated asking for the par
don of John p. Gamble, who has serv-
ed one year in the state penitentiary
on self-confessed charge of bur-
glary.
Gamble committed a burglary in
Spokane about IS months ago and
several months later, when he be-
came converted in Christ's Temple,
mission conducted by Mrs. Flora
Bikes, he voluntarily confessed his
guilt. CANDLES confession prompt
ed the court to ask leniency from
the jury. He was sentenced for an
indeterminate period.
The motive of the man can not
be questioned else he would be a
free man to day" states the petit
ton. He believed it a duty to the
state to surrender himself and suffer
the penalties imposed for a crime
ne had committed. We believe that
the spirit of the law-abiding citizens
Of this state to reciprocate such mag
naniminity of spirit will encourage
others who have committed crime To
do likewise and will accomplish more
than any penal sentence could ac-
complish.
1t is reported that Judge Hinkle,
who pronounced sentence, will sign
the petition.

WILD LIFE ENDED
Lone Rancher Finally Conquered
When Officers Were Useless

bill" Bradley, the lone rancher
of Cape Illihee, in the Umpqua ma
tional forest, rs miles east of Rose
burg, Ore, is dead at the age of so
years. He died as he has lived since
he was 1S years of age-alone, AT
his picturesque home in the wilder
ness, last Friday, his body was given
burial by doctor and two compan-
ions, following an accident that be-
fell him eight days before while try
ing to break wild horse such as he
raised for living in connection with
trapping. Unconscious from tract
ure of the skull and terribly bruised
about the body, Bradley was found
Thursday by a passing homesteader.
He never regained consciousness.
Although indicted by grand jury
a number of years ago on a charge Of
illegally killing deer, Bradley could
never be captured, and kept up his
traffic in deer hides just the same.
No other person knew the wild re-
gion in which he lived so well as he,
nor would he tolerate the presence
of any other homesteader near him.
II stories told by those who knew his
characteristics are correct. Sheep
and cattle placed on the range near
that which he used for his own
stock we're found poisoned later.

HEART CAUSES DEPORTATION

Because his heart is on the right
side of his body Stafanos Contsocost
will be deported to Greece. On I'M
at Ellis island, the surgeons dis
covered that there was no heart beat
on the left side of the body and a
search revea' ed the presence of the
vital organ under the right lung.
This was considered detrimental to
his health and he has been denied
admission to this country. There
have been similar cases of heart dis
location, but they are very rare.
