his wife, of this city,. believe miracle
has been performed upon their son

of God, and other members of that
church, have been trying the prayer
cure on the boy. They were praying
at the bedside at daybreak one morning

patient arose from his bed and walked
to the breakfast table and ate. He

less for a week, supported him. The
family believes him cured in answer to

Oil DriIIers Hopeful.

Asloria-Reports received from Ne
halem Bay are that the company which
is drilling for oil,there has sunk hole
to a depth of $50 without meeting
with any serious mishap. The indica-
tions thus far are encouraging, as a
slight scum of oil comes up as the wa
ter is pumped from the well. 1t is
the intention, however, to bore to a
depth of 1900 feet unless a good
flow of oil is struck before that
time.

Vale-R. w. Eamos, who is inter-

drilling deep cold water wells in Vale

two wells. one completed this week.
and at depth of 240 feet he found a
flow of gas, which arises with the wa

He has not tested the flow to ascer-
tain if it is Of quantity sufficient for
any purpose, but being about the same
as that discovered at Ontario at the
shallow depths there, causes the opin-
ion that the gas is distributed general
ly over this part of the county.

Mayor Rodgers, of Salem, to Visit
Belgian Congress.

Belgian congress.
Salem - Mayor George F. Rodgers
has gone to Belgium, where he will at
tend the meeting of the international
Association of Road Congresses as the
only representative from Oregon. The
associatingon meeting opens July 81
and will continue until August 8. Dur
ing his absence the mayor will make a
special study of road making and mu-
nicipal conditions. 1t is probable he
will be one of the most energetic and
active delegates at the convention, as
he has made almost life study of
good roads, has entered actively into
the work in Oregon and is going for
the express purpose of gaining
ideas which he hopes will result in
much good for Salem and the William
cite valley upon his return.
The king of Belgium is president of
the roads association and Mayor Rod
gers will go armed with letters to him
and to several of he European mon
archs, asking that the courtesy of var
ious continental realms be extended to
him and afford him the best opportun-
ity possible to study roadmaking con-
ditions and the government of Ell

New Mill Begins Cutting Logs.

Bandon - The new mill of the
George w. Moore Lumber company,
recently completed, is one of the best
plants of the kind on the coast. 1t
was formerly known as the Cody mill
and was burned in August, 1909. 1t
is owned by the George W. Moore
Lumber company. The Cody Lumber
company does the logging end of the
business.
The machinery is all first class and
several of the devices are of the spe-
cial design of Mr.. Logan. Among
these is an arrangement for the sort

of labor. The mill has first class

day. The full capacity will be 125, 900
feet. The mill and the logging camp

THE JOURNALS VIEW.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t is to be
hoped that Governor Burke of North
Dakota has his senatorial troubles
ironed out at last. so that they will
stay straight. Mr.. Purcell looks like
a man who would not lay down a
senatorialship without a strong NOV
Ing force to compel him. We may
expect him to remain until the next
election.
The governor has evidently made
his champion effort to retrieve the
first error" Of selecting a man, who
was the choice of nobody. and who
was unwillingly dragged from the
invalid privacy of his home to form
a stop-gap.
1t is said that Governor Burke
was moved to the appointment of Mr..
Thompson, because he was afraid to
set up another and stronger democrat
than himself in North Dakota poll
tics. We can hardly believe this. 1t
is probable that the governor was dis
satisfied with some of the political

He shows number of pictures OF

Pierce and Gordon have a talking

There will bo an entirely new line

In the public mind the idea is
strong that somewhere between the
farmers, the packers and the retail
dealers, price of beef is manipulate
ed into extort;onate rate that seem,
for causes yet hidden, to grow con-
stantly more oppressive.
If the manner in which the prices
are regulated were visible and fully
comprehended the monopolistic
methods in the case, If they exist to
the extent supposed, could be RENE
died by the laws, for there is no lack
of statutory .enactments to correct
evils of this nature.
But the details to all that happens
to the beef supply between the farm
and the market basket are not suffi-
GENTLY clear to fix the responsibility
for excessive prices, The farmer de-
clares that he is getting no more than
an ordinary fair return; the packers
dwell on increasing population, and
claim that the sources of supply are
declining, while the retailers of meat
Insist that the competition is so great
in their daily markets that, on the
whole. they make but little more than
a decent salary out of high prices.
Who is getting surplus of gain out
of beef-the farmer, the packer or
the retailer. or are all in turn impos-
ing upon the consumer? Or are all
acting legitimately? - =: :.
According to the annual report OF
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
whose facts and figures are brought
down to the closing weeks Of. 1909,
the farmers, while receiving higher
prices. are not getting an undue pro,
1t out of the cattle they send to mar.
ket. Their expense of raising cattle
Is heavier than in former years
From 1895 to 1900 the mean price
Of corn was % cents bushel. In
1907 the price was 81, in 1908 it rose
to 60, and last year to 81. Land in

FARMERS AND OFFICESEEKERS

FARMERS AND OFFICESEEKERS
We are told by machine-controlled
paper in the west that the ''peOple of
the state are enjoying unexampled
prosperity through the enactment Of
republican policies" therefore they
will think twice before deciding in
the interest of plain Office seekers"
In other words the prosperity Of the
farmer is supposed to have blunted
his perceptions so that he will be un:
able to tell right from wrong. that
prosperity will have made him so
selfish that he will be content to let
the country go to the devil while he
enjoys life. forgetful that next year
he may not be SO prosperous, and
left alone in his hard luck by the
rest of the world. This is a low es-
innate Of the North Dakota farmer
and Is not in line with the fulsome
praise that was heaped upon him by
Senator McCumber few days ago.
That paper can only see that it is a
crime for any man to run for Office
without the brand of the state ma
chine, and is too dense to perceive
that the farmers have long since
seen through the sordid clap-trap of
the stalwart papers.-Fargo News.
The farmers of the state of North
Dakota are a pretty intelligent class,
and they have not forgotten the
promises of the democrats and low
tariffites back in the early nineties,
and the subsequent days of. fifty
cent wheat and Coxey's army. The
prosperity of the country depends,
not so much upon the mouthings of
ambitious candidates for office, as
upon sound and sane political policy,
such as the country has been enjoy.
ing under republican rule. The
Tribune does not subscribe to the
argument that the country is going
to the devil, and nobody subscribes
to it but band of professional agi.
tators who want to exploit the vot-
ers to their own Office seeking ends.
The farmers of this state are not sell

sible knowledge Of politics, and they
do not intend to sacrifice their in.

for riotous band of people saw

rigated land has increased, but beef
is not raised there except In a small
way. There has been a diminished
marketing of cattle, and an Increased
slaughtering of calves. Range aban-
donment has reduced the stock of
cattle.
The general conclusion of Secretary
Wilson is that the farmer has partic-
ipated in the upward beef price move
ment only through the corn he has
fed. and then not fully, and that the
farmers cattle, before corn feeding
stand where they did in the price
level of '1S96-19O0. while the best OF
them for beef purposes have not
gained much.
The cost of living has risen
throughout the world. In any case,
the United States would be affected
by this movement to some extent
Throughout the world also the cit
les are gaining population faster than
the country. making farm laborers
relatively fewer. But farm machin-
cry and production have improved.
The increased output of gold is
considered a factor in the problem.
Its effect on the prices of food and
other values has not been definitely
analysed.
Cold storage is an element in the
case, but the methods of it's man.
agement, and it's statistics, are
known to few.
The farmers part in raising beef
is open to inspection, and the retail
ers operations are sufficiently in
view to be understood. But the long
train of transactions by which the
packers buy, sell and speculate in
beef and conduct cold storage, is
not yet a matter of common knowl-
edge. Farmers and retailers do not
make great fortunes in beef. Pack
ers and spectators often do. They
hold the bulk of capital, and it seems
reasonable to charge manipulation
chiefly to them as far as it is car
ried on.
The government investigation of
the Chicago packers ought to be in
structive and supply the light now
needed.

Senator Purcell would resign in a

Cashel, Duis, Doyle, Hildreth and Jim
Campbell at intervals of a month or

found, too, that there was a great
competition for the place, and no can.
didates on whom all would unite.
This caused him to hesitate. and in
the end to seek a compromise on one
who had not been mentioned.
1t was not very good leadership on
the part of the governor, to be sure.
He would have done better to have
made a quick decision upon one of
the leaders, and let time justify his
selection. He toyed too long with
the problem. His delay cost him
prestige, not only with the party
leaders, but as we'll with the rank
and file, who like to see public man
act promptly and vigorously, especi-
ally when he has difficult duty to
perform.
However, the trials and tribula-
tons of the governor are over in this
respect at least. Senator Purcell will
be at his post unt.l his republican
successor arrives to take up the dut-
les of the Office with a mandate from
the people.

Thus far the weather at Bismarck
during the winter has been extreme
ly pleasant II There have been no
billiards. and while December was
a cold month, there were but few
days when the weather was disa-
greeable. The average temperature
for January at Bismarck covering
thirty-six years is 7.2 degrees above
zero. The average this year was 9
above. The precipitation, snow fall,
was above the average. This year
it was O.57. The average for thirty
six years has been 0.52. There were
but eleven cloudy days at Bismarck
during January and the air was heav-
lily charged with health-givipg, di-
sease-discouraging ozone all the
time. No attractions in California
for North Dakotans this winter.
