CUITIVATING TIMBER.

Steam stump pulling machines are
rapidly becoming the painless dent
ists' of the northern woods. Follow
ing in the wake of lumber crews they
are turning stumpy fields into fertile
farms and reclaiming vast empire
of formerly wooded prosperity. AL
though in operation but a short time
one machine, working in Rusk coun-
ty, northern Wisconsin, has cleared
as high as four and five acres day.
AS a steady diet, however, the ma
chine does not devour the stumpage
Of more than one or two acres day.
1t does it at a cost of not more than
fifteen or twenty dollars an acre, while
the average cost heretofore, by horse
operated pulling machine, has been
thrty-five dollars an acre.
The situation in the cleared" por-
tions of the heavily wooded states Of
the country has not been without its
pathetic side. The noble monarchs of
the forest were first marked for
slaughter; then the logging crews
passed on. In their wake. as the trees
disappeared before the commercial ra-
pacity of men, followed crews not
above cutting smaller trees, leaving
behind them a stump studded field
barren of all save the striplings and
the windfalls. Many farmer lured

SHOULD BE RAISED HERE.

Yesterday the East Oregonian had
a news story showing that a shipment
of 80 head of hogs worth $4,000, had
just been purchased in Union county
by local meat company. The hogs
were bought in Union county because
Trey were not to be had here.
This naturally raises the question
as to why local farmers do not raise
more hogs. 1t is a profitable indus
try. DR.. James Withycombe, direc-
ter of the state experiment station,
has pointed out that when wheat is
fed to hogs and sold in the form Of
livestock farmers may obtain about
twice as much for their grain as when
they sell it as wheat.
An even better plan, so it is assert
ed by experts, is for people to raise
ia crop of field peas every alternate
year and feed the same to hogs. The
field peas may be raised on summer
fallow years and by raising them far
mers may obtain annual instead of
biennial crops.
Doubtless in time more hogs will
be raised in Umatilla county and it
wont be necessary for local butchering
houses TO go abroad for porkers.

LOCAL MEN CONTROL.

By an overwhelming majority the
state senate voted yesterday to Gre
ate state highway commission. So it
begins to look like the propaganda
of the state good roads association
will be put through.
In addressing the senate the other
day Judge Webster, DR.. Andrew C.
Smith and other speakers pointed out
that one feature of the highway COM
mission bill has been misunderstood.
They showed that the highway board
and commissioner will not locate roads
nor will they expend the money Sc
cured from the state or from the
counties. The county authorities To-
cate the roads and spend the money
The highway board and commission
Ell give direction and advice as to the
scientific construction of roads in the
various counties.
Does not this remove much of the
local objection to the plan of the
state good roads association?

REGULATION MUST COME.

According to the local manager for
the Pacific telephone company the
editorial statement made Tuesday to
the effect that rates on rural phones
had been raised from SO to s7.2O was
not entirely accurate. He says that
only upon one line, the Birch creek
line. was such an advance made. On
the other rural lines the company
was already charging $40 per an
mum so the advance was from that
figure to 1920 not from SO to 1920.
Mr.. Wells also calls attention to the
fact that the company gives ten
per cent discount for cash and he
points out that the advance in charges
was made in accordance with sched-
ule that called for such an advance
whenever 1000 stations were in use
upon the line. He says no further in
crease will now be made until there
are 1000 stations in use.
AL of these facts are given here
for what they are worth AMI in a spir-
1t of fairness. But they do not affect
in the slightest the merits of the ar
gument for having the telephone bus
mess of this state regulated by the
railroad commission or some other
public service commission.
What if the Pacific company's 100
per cent increase did apply to only
the Birch creek line? What if the
increase was already partly in effect
on the other lines leading into Pen
dleton? What If the increase was
made in accordance with a certain
schedule?
Who knows that any increase at all
in rates was justified. Who knows but
that rates should have been lowered
instead Of advanced? Who knows
that the Pacific company's schedule
of prices is a properly arranged
schedule and is fair to patrons Of the
company?
Nobody knows but the company IT.

ed party. The company has a natur-

the situation worse and the telephone
company knows this.
This is why the East oregoniar
urges that the state railroad commits
sion or some other commission
should be given power to regulate thu
rates and the service Of telephone

Sulzer Is Complimented.

Much of a complimentary nature to
Representative Sulzer was contained in
the remarks of Representative Mann, who
said:
II desire to congratulate the gentle
man from New York (Mr. Su!zer) for
making the motion to concur in the SEN
ate amendments. He naturally prefers
the resolution as he introduced it. The
other day there was a division of opinion
i'm this House as to whether that resoiu-
ton ought to be amended or not, but
when it came to final vote upon the
proposition affecting our relations with
q foreign country We were practically
unanimous in the House, as the Senate
was practically unanimous in the Sen
ate. Now, when the gentleman from
New York valves his personal predilec-
tons in this matter, in order that both
bodies of Congress may present solid
front in connection with foreign coun-
try, in my judgment he is placing patriot
ism above pride.
1--WE may differ among ourselves as to
We may have differences and conflicts
over legislation affecting our own coun-
try or over legislation affecting foreign
country, but after all, when 1t comes 10
dealing directly with foreign power L
hope that we will preserve the idea OF
maintaining a solid front, wiping out the
differences of partisanship, and think
only of country, and have the country
united, not divided, in its relation with
a foreign power.
