BOYS HOG CLUBS.

Attention OF the boys of Morrow
tounty is called to an article in an
0ther column relating to the organi-
cation in this county of Boys Hog
Clubs. Read it over, and if you are
Interested, send your name at once
10 the editor OF the Gazette, and bet
ter still, il you can call at our office
We can put you in touch with the
proposition and help to get together
the necessary material to put the or
ganization OF the Morrow County
Boys Hog Club on it's feet and get
our county in the lead in this impor-
tant work. As stated in the article
referred to, the boys OF the country
are beginning to take hold OF different
lines OF the farming industry, and are
showing their dads" how to do
things up in the proper shape We
have the boys in Morrow county to
take hold OF this proposition, and
row is the time to begin so that we
can get some show. stuff ready for the
District Fair.
When it is understood that very
large proportion of the pork for our
rapidly growing packing houses on
this Pacific northwest coast is
shipped in here from Nebraska and
other states OF the Middle West, it is
made apparent that the hog industry
Of the state is being largely neglected.
Just a short time back the market
reports at Portland showed the re-
eeipt at the stock yards there of nine
carloads OF hogs from the state of
Nebraska. In commenting on this
anomalous fact, the Portland Tele-
gram OF recent date says:
Reports like this Indicate con-
ditions that are economically a
loss to the people OF Oregon.
Pre-eminently, we should be in the
market as the producers and sell
Rrs of livestock and dressed meats. !
We have the finest territOryfor supre-
macy in that sort of business that
lies out of doors. We have the
knowledge that stockraising is the
ultimate perfection OF scientific farm
ing. for the reason that it brings |
splendid revenue without impover- |
ishing the soil. Wehave the demand |
that is not supplied and never will |
be supplied, no matter to what eX-
tent the industry should grow. Also
Is there the practical assurance OF |
men who know the meat industry |
from A to z that the future impor-
taDce of this region in that line IS |
hardly within our present concep-
tiOn.
apparently the farmers OF Oregon !
haye not begun to take heed of all /
these things as they should As in
aicated by this nine-car shipment |
from Nebraska, they are not swift in
chasing the dollars to be coined in
the grunt OF the hog. In the Ian
guage Of the street, the farmers OF
Oregon are overlooking a good
3hing."
So the Gazette has decided that it
Hill be a good move to getour farm
sr boys. and girls, too, as they are
not barred, interested in this propo-
sitiOn and have some Boys Hog
Clubs organized here. Let's do IL.
and put our county in the lead in
this important matter, the good
results OF which cannot be estimated
just at this time.
1t means much. Are you with US?

A ROAD COMMITTEES.

To avoid duplication OF good
roads bills to go before the people
through the initiative or by way OF
the legislature, as well as to avoid
confusion in preparing such bills,
Governor West has named a COM
mittee with one representative from
each county, except Multnomah,
which has a representation OF five.
There will also be included in this
committee three members represent
ing the State Grange, and the COM
mittee has been named the State
Grange good roads committee.
From reports the Governor has re-
ceived bewildering array OF road
laws will be submitted to the people
at next general election by various
organizations, and many requests
have come to him to name a COM
mittee which can handle all this leg
islation and harmonic it so that the
people will have one distinct law to
vote upon that will be as nearly as
possible an expression OF the wishes
of every county in the state,
Sam Z. VanVactor is named as
Morrow county's representative ON
this committee. 81
From the experience the people of
the state had at the last election in
good road laws, this move on the
part of Governor West is certainly to
be commended, and out of this plan
a law should be framed that will
get at what the people want. They
know that they want good roads;
to get the right law to bring about
this condition is aquestion.

attached to wagon and at full galiop
pursued by men on ponies. When keith
reaches the wagon the raiders have mass
acreu two men and departed. He searches

Black Bart. He goes to Jail fully reahz-
ing the peril of swift border justice. A
tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the
Keith family back in Virginia. Neb says
one OF the murdered men was Jonn

singer he saw at Carson City. The girl
explains that she came there in search or

army. Mr.. Hawley induced her to
come to the cabin while he sought to To-
cate her brother. Hawley appears. ai.1

FUND FOR ENTERTAINMENT"
Stephenson's Money Was Used Strictly
for this Purpose.

Milwaukee, Wis. = After examining
725 items of amounts paid to individ-
uals, who collectively for campaign
expenses received $107,793, the sena-
torial committee, which is Investigate
ing charges of bribery in connection
with the election of United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson, heard tes-
timony that the money was used for
entertainment" and not for any cor
rupt purpose.
No itemized accounts of the ex-
penses were returned, but Rodney
Sackett, one of the campaign mana
gers. testified he had been informed
that the money had been used largely
fn- buying cigars and beer. 1t was
the custom in Wisconsin during cam.
paigns. Sackett testified, to send jugs
of whisky and kegs of beer to To-
calities where favorable political SEN
timent was to be worked up.

Fully convinced as to Mrs. Murphy's
goodwill. Keith slipped back into the
darkness, and returned with the girl.
Introductions were superfuous, as the
mistress of the Occidental cared little
regarding ceremony.
"An' is this you, my dear?" she
burst out, endeavoring to curb her
voice to secretive softness. "Shure,
