MARKET REPORT
Portland Union Stock Yards Co.

North Portland, Ore, Dec. TO-
Receipts on this market for week
ending today were. 966. cattle, 236
ctlyes, $50 hogs, 1858 sheep, 6S1
goats and 81 horses.
The very light receipts in all lines
had tendency to strengthen prices.
Among cattle receipts were two
phenomenal steers each weighing
2115 pounds. They sold for SIS as
did also 1876 steers that weighed
1915.
The light receipts are explained
by market experts as due to a sea-
son between grass and hay fed cattle.
Reports indicate that an increased
number of cattle are on feed in ter
ritory tributary to this market.
While this is true, very few of the
cattle .on feed have had time to take
on profitable weight. Good ewes
sold at 4.S0. Fair to medium quail
ity brought 4.25.
The sheep market was fair. One
lot of II pound lambs brought 5.35.
Goats were sold at $50.
The hog market was practically
unchanged, medium weight even hogs
sold at 500.
The following sales were repre-

how to get results such as We have
been speaking of.
Particulars have appeared in this
paper from time to time, and in this
issue more of it will be found, giving
a complete program.
We could have had the school at
Blackfoot If we had had the energy
to apply for it and comply with the
very easy conditions, but heretofore
the efforts to get farmers to attend
the usual farmers institutes have
met with such feeble response that
those whose attention to the offer
was brought this year did not feel
like leaving their work to go out as
heretofore, and labor with those who
were Indifferent to every move for
their own betterment, and for this
year at least those. wishing this spec

brought to their home town, though
they can get it by going to the neigh
boring town of Idaho Falls.
We have in our farms the elements
to make the best of crops, but the
manner of handling rnem, the lack of
proper selection of seeds and many
fundamental conditions needed to Sc
cure good reslts are being neglected,
not from unwillingness to work, but
from lack of appreciation of the i'm
portance attached to them.
The men and boy: who wish to
make marked success in farming
should attend the Movable School at
Idaho Falls the next three weeks,
and we predict that such will start
work that will make them not only
successful but leaders in their vo-
cation.

FORT HALL PROJECT

That. was good news from Wash
ington yesterday about the Indian
appropriation bill carrying an item
of 5000 for completion of the Fort
Hall irrigation project. Careful as-
Inmates by engineers in charge place
this figure as adequate to complete
the canal system and turn it over to
the water users. The canals have all
been finished with the exception of
several lateral extensions on the west
side of the tracks The concrete
work, with the exception of some
slight repairs to the big syphon, is
all finished, and Immediately upon
the latest appropriation becoming
available, work on the west side sys-
tenn will be, resumed early in the
spring and rushed to completion in
time for the delivery of water to the
entire tract during the irrigating sea-
son Of 1911. This means the estab-
lishment, within year or so, of
Pocatello as the center of one of the
most important agricultural districts
in the state. One of the possibilities
of the near future is the construction
of an electric railroad from Pocatello
through the great irrigated tract,
which within a year or so will be
thickly settled and under an advanced
state of vation.-Pocatello Trib-
une.

More Land Being Taken.

Word has been received here that
more laLd is being taken up in Iron
County under the Smoot act. Last
week party of men headed by Prof.
Il. ID. Ball OF the Agricultural Col
lege OF Logan came to Enterprise
and vent over the land to the north
in that vicinity examining the coil
and finding out the amount that
could be had. After a careful ex-
animation they left for Salt Lake and
upon arrival there word was sent back
to their surveyor TO go ahead and get
the corners and description and for
ward them at the earliest moment. 1t
Is understood that there are ten men
in the party and that each will take

Ye Country Editor.

One of the hardest duties in the
world is to fill the news columns If a
local payer with interesting items
when there is really no news to write.
IL is far more vexing and perplexing
than person who has never had any
experience In newspaper work can
we'll imagine. The paper must come
out on time, and the reading matter
has to be supplied from some source.
When the brain of the editor becomes
weary, mind inactive and his faithful
scissors dull, is it, do you imagin
any child's play for him to prob the
gas bags of his imagination and bring
forth column or more of original
"wind" that will both edify, delight
and instruct his readerst Verify the
life of a country editor is full of
trials, troubles and perplexities and
like the wicked, he is doomed to not
out live half his days.

LAWLER'S LAPSUS

VIZ HILE we admit he was in an un-
wv usually difficult position, that
would have been trying to the
patience of a saint, yet we think our
esteemed friend Oscar Lawler was
unusually and unnecessarily vehement
at the Ballinger- -Pinchot investigation,
Excusing the destruction of the origi-
nal draft Of his now famous memoran-
dunn, or coach" for the president of
the United States, Mr.. LaWler said:
II was confident that gumshoe men had
been on my trail for months, and
knew there were no depths of degrada-
ton to which they would not stoop.'
Asked who he thought were behind
the gumshoe men Mr.. Lawler declared
dramatically: James r. Garfield,
Clifford Pinchot, man named Con-
nelly and Mr.. Brandeis," whom Lawler,
in an outburst of splenetic rage, char
acterlzed as the flower of that foul
flock"
LAWYERS insult to the champions Of
conservation was resented demonstra-
lively by the spectators. Mr.. Law
Ter has many friends in Los An
geles who have regarded him as a
young man of great promise. They
are sincerely sorry for his bad break"

TEN of Greater Los Angeles will re-
ceive the attention and care which all
friends, admirers and citizens of our
superb metropolis expect and desire
1t to receive, This is an ideal city
for parks and for parking experiments.
All that has been done in any other
part of the world can be done better
in the parks of Los Angeles. Every
variety of plant and tree will grow out
doors in this climate, and new va
rieties can be developed.
The parks are as instructive as a
university course, and the people of
Greater Los Angeles should have
enough expert information to enable
them to appreciate what is being done
Expert gardeners are not given tC
taking the public into their confidence
as to the methods by which they pro
duce results; yet in a flower growing
community like ours popular lessons
in gardening would be useful
The new superintendent is a univer-
sity man as well as a practical man
He looks on expert gardening as q
learned profession-and that is exactly
what il is

LOVES LABOR LOST

n RORABLY no higher compliment
was ever paid political organi-
l. zation than that which the Good
Government organization is now in
directly receiving from the character
of the attacks which our Republican
morning contemporary is attempting
to make upon it.
on yesterday morning it devoted
considerable space, which at the ad
vertising rates that II charges should
have been worth good deal of money.
to exploiting the fact that the license
of a restaurant keeper of this city had
been forfeited by the police commits
sion because he had conducted his
business contrary to law; that the said
restaurant keeper had got up a pc
tition for presentation to the board of
police commissioners. asking for a re-
instatement of his license; that the
same restaurant keeper was one Of
several thousand business men who
had received a copy of an appeal for
the support of the Good Government
fund, signed by Mr.. Lissner, all of
which appeals, by the way, had been
mailed out from the office of the Good
Government fund by a corps of clerks
who had addressed them to people
whose names they had obtained from
a directory of the business men of the
city; that the restaurant keeper had
not seen fit to respond favorably to
this appeal; that the board of police
commissioners had refused &c renew
his liquor license, which had been for
feited. Ergo, it must be the case,
argues our Republican contemporary,
that the failure of the restaurant
keeper to respond favorably to the re-
quest for a contribution to the Good
Government fund had some connec-
tion with the refusal of the police
commission to grant the petition for
the reinstatement of his license.
If our Republican contemporary can
get any comfort out of this sort of at
tack upon the Good Government or
ganization, which has done and is
doing so much for the cause of good
government in this city, it is welcome
to it. And the fact that it appears to
receive some comfort out of such a
statement of facts speaks eloquently
to the average mind of the need which
it feels for comfort at this particular
juncture in city affairs.
We could say with perfect truth
that the Good Government organiza-
tion has in q number of instances re-
turned contributions which it received
from parties where it had reason to
believe that these contributions were
regarded by the contributors as a
quid pro quo for favors desired by the
contributors from the city government,
which favors the contributors would
probably not be entitled to receive.
We do not believe that either the
Good Government organization or Mr..
Lissner will seriously suffer from the
article published by our Republican
contemporary. In fact, it seems a pity
that so much valuable space that
| might, at the regular advertising rates
of the said paper, have added some
| thing to Its eXchequer was wasted, as
! it evidently was in this instance.

YELLOW JOURNALISM.

E(TT CONCERNS you, the publishers
far more than it concerns me-
= said Mayor Gaynor in accusing
yellow journalism OF forgery and falsi-
fication of a public document. IF you
can stand such things in your great pro-
fession, the rest of us can stand it, or
will try to stand it, until the hour ar
rives when we shall make up our minds
utterly to destroy it, and take effective
measures to that end.
1T is high time forgers and libelers
were in states prison, and the time is
not far distant when some of them
will be there. And just think of a man
who is capable of doing things like
this being possessed of the notion that
he is fit to hold any Office from mayor
to president of the United States Nor
ally speaking, his mind must be a howl
ing wilderness. Never will the voters
anywhere put such a man in office. I
feel that l am entirely right in men
tionng this matter to you, and that it
will promote a proper understanding
and do good. We have stood it here in
New York city for a long time, and
respectable editors and publishers of
this city want of all things to get rid
of it, They know the perpetuity of
our institutions depends more on a free
and honest press than on all else com
bined."
But our institutions will continue to
be menaced as long as many Of our
newspapers continue to show reluct-
ance in attacking the practices that
have characterized yellow journalism.
These practices are either tolerated or
encouraged by citizens who advertise
in yellow journals.
Let us be reasonable and consistent
in dealing with this matter. Imagine
a parallel instance. Let us suppose a
"fnancier' undertook to deal on a large
scale in goods obtained by dishonest
methods. Would self-respecting citi-
zens patronize his Office or his store?
Certainly they would NOT.
yellow journalism over and over again
has been caught with the goods. over
and over again has been the subject of
exposure or rebuke. Why should it con-
tinue to attract and receive patronage?
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-19
COMET SCARE

1T is admitted that many people were
scared by the announcement that
II the earth would pass through the
tail Of the big comet. Horror mongers,
with vivid imaginations and with the
ignorance which leaves imagination
untrammeled had filled pages of peri
odicals with lurld descriptions Of
what might happen. The announce
ment that the comets tail was gaseous,
and that the gas might be of a deadly
nature, was so plausible that for awhile
people actually forgot two gases are
indispensable to human life. one is
oxygen, the other hydrogen
Mixed in proportions of two parts to
one, these gases become the queer, un-
canny, almost immaterial stuff We call
Water" We drink gases and bathe
i'll them and cook in them, and are
thankful when heaven rains them on
the soil, and spend money on irrigation
plans for making the gases serviceable
to mankind in arid or gasless regions.
So gas is not necessarily noXious
quantity in natures economy. Fears
that the gas in the comets tail would
injure or destroy life were ludicrously
foolish, because the earth is an old
planet, and this was by no means it's
first acquaintance with a comet. 1t is
odd to find advanced science may min
lister to superstition and timdity
The descriptions of the comet and it's
tail, instead of allaying fear, gave op-
portunity to a horde of irresponsible
yellow word -mongers to concOct a vast
amount of humbugging stuff and nom
sense, which, like the tail of the comet,
filled some space, looked like some
thing. but was meaningless, vapid, va
porous.

STRANGE SAMARITANISM

RY HE original Good Samaritan over
came his race hatred and rescued
Il one Of the enemies of his people
who had fallen among thieves"
From the day when Jesus first invented
the tale to point q moral to the present
Good Samaritanism has been syn
onymous with the broadest charity
and most liberal Christianity. But the
Good Samaritan manager who attacked
a newspaper photographer with an
automobile crank because the photog
rapher was doing his duty is surely
an example of misassOciation.
There is nothing either good or Sa-
maritanish in a cowardly attack on an
unarmed man with a heavy metal auto
crank. We believe the doctors pro-
fessional brethren will agree with us
professional ethics did not demand
such a formidable and obstreperous
vindication of the Good Samaritan
management.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-19

Supervisors and highway commits
sioners don't need to feel grouchy over
the lust criticism to which they have
exposed themselves. After all, they

would have heard nothing but praises
