Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 24.-Receipts
for the week have been 1896 cattle
144 calves, 1853 hogs, 1852 sheep and
IL horses.
Due to the demand for some extra
quality, Christmas beef offerings that
came up to the demand met with
ready sale at rather extravagant
prices. These are not truly repre-
sentative of the market, which, on Its
real basis was q to so cents higher
than the week before. The sale OF
choice lot of prime steers at $3.50
and one extra fancy steer at $14.50
were aside from the ruling market
Cows sold as high as $3.50 and fairly
good steers at from $500 to $6.25.
The hog market showed an upward
tendency throughout the week and
reached SO for one choice load. Buy
ers We're of the opinion that the mar
ket would remain at the low level OF
the early part of the month, but the
light supplies with the heavy demand
put prices up on high plane.
An extra lot of lambs sold for $500
and one fair lot sold Tor $5.65. The
market on sheep has been strong to
higher with the demand almost exelu-
sively for hay or grain led animals.

WOULD ABOLISH HANGING
Oregon Prison Superintendent Would
Also Restrict PardOning Power.

SALEM Or, Dec. 24.-Restriction
of the pardoning power and abolition
of capital punishment are salient Iea-
tures of the report of Superintendent
lanes. of the penitentiary. Legal ex-
ecutions, he says, have not reduced
homicide. Imprisonment, with small
chance of release, he believes, would
give better results and be more in har-
mony with the principles Of the con-
stitution.
Sunerintendent James recommends
placing the pardoning power IN the
Legislature.
Mr. lanes also believes it should be
obligatory upon the trial court to eX-
oroise the indeterminate sentence law
in all cases excepting those calling tor
life Imprisonment. He believes that
in many cases the trial courts have
not used proper discSetion and he calls

Dallas Man Is One of Prime Movers
For Desired Result.

Sixteen of the Evangelical Associa-
ton, United Evangelical and United
Brethren Churches of Portland and VII
cinity have united in an effort to hast
en- the movement for organic union.
Members of these three denominations
have been holding union services for
four years to foster organic union of
the three bodies, and definite action
has been taken by the General Con-
ferences of all three.
1t has been necessary to overcome
the slow-moving conservative element
in all three denominations, but the
younger element will not rest until
all are joined. At a recent meeting of
representatives of 16 branches of these
churches it was decided to prepare
resolutions setting forth the sentiment
of the ministers and laymen of Port
land and vicinity. The committee ap-
pointed to prepare this statement is as
follows Rev. F. B. Culver, of First
English Evangelical Church, Evangeli-
cal Association of Oregon; Rev. Russell
S. Showers, of the First United Breth-
rem Church; H. B. Barendrick, layman
of the United Evangelical Church; c..
e. Werner, layman of the Evangelical
Association; e. B. Clark, layman of the
United Brethren Church.
This committee has prepared resolu
tions reciting that the forms of church
governments of the denominations is
very similar, that especially in mission
and rapidly growing districts the work
is overlapping, and that many churches
of each denomination could be
strengthened greatly by the addition of
members of other denominations not
yet represented in the particular COM
munity. Hearty sympathy with the
movement is expressed.
These resolutions will be sent to the
members of the joint committees from
the general conferences of the three
denominations, which will meet next
year to formulate plans for organic
union. Rev. C. c. Polling, of Dallas,
is a member of the United Evangelical
General Conference Committee, and is
one of the prime movers for organic
union. The Oregon conferences of the
three bodies have declared for organic
union.-Oregonian.

these fine goats have done. They were
entered in every class they coud get
into at the Virginia State Fair, held
at Richmond in October. They were
first in everything they We're in, win
ming both championships and both re-
serve championships. I am not writing
this to sell goats I have none for
sale, but expect to buy more My An
goras were also entered, but they
could only win one red ribbon. That
was a second prize. l wish no credit
for winning, it belongs to Mr.. Grant,
who bred and raised the Angoras. All
my goats have been sold for what
they would bring. From now on there
will be no goats on "Moreland Stock
Farm except the U. S. Grant goats.
Below you will see exactly what the
five won. l also wish to state that
most of the other prizes were won by
Angoras that We're bought from Mr..
Grant last year: Yearling buck-first,
U. S. Grant. Buck kid-first, U. S.

TWO LICENSES GRANTED
J. G. sHULTZ AND CHARLES BILL
YEU SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS.
Saloons viii BE Opened Monday Morn
ing In Buildings RemodeIed to
Conform to Requirements.

The Dallas city council settled the
saloon license question Thursday even-
ing by granting permits to John C.
Shultz and Charles Bilyeu. The suc-
cessful applicants will pay 1920
year each for the privilege of conduct
ing saloons in the city.
The license ordinance, as originally
drawn, contemplated the granting of
three licenses at $500 each. When it
was found that the census department
had given Dallas less than $500 pop
ulation, the council decided to issue
only two licenses for the present. as
the amended ordinance provides for
one saloon for each 1000 inhabitants
and major fraction thereof. AS the
board desired to raise $2400 per an
mum from liquor licenses. the success
full applicants agreed to pay $1,000
each until further action Is taken in
the granting Of permits to sell liquor.
Mr.. Shultz and Mr.. Bilyeu will open
their saloons next Monday morning.
Each will occupy the building he occu-
pied at the time the county was voted
dry two years ago. Both buildings
are being remodeled to conform to the
provisions of the new ordinance. Both
will have clear plate-glass fronts. The
sale of liquor will be conducted in a
single room opening on the street, no
rear rooms being permitted save one
in each building, to be used for stor-
age purposes. These saloons will be
required to close at midnight and no
liquor may be sold between IL o'clock
on Saturday night and o'clock Mon
day morning. Selling liquor to habit
ual drunkards or intoxicated persons
will be strictly forbidden and no gam
bling with cards, dice or other devices
will be allowed.
The new license ordinance does not
make it obligatory upon the council
to accept the Government census as
authority in determining the number
OF licenses to be granted, but 1t is not
probable that more licenses will be
granted until such time as the city
shall take it's own census and find that
the number of people within its bor-
ders exceeds $500.
At the meeting of the council Thurs
day evening, Mayor Eakin appointed
Councilmen Ayres, Coad and Hall as
committee to inspect the new saloon
buildings and ascertain If they have
been remodeled In such a manner as
to conform to the requirements of
the new ordinance.
