Gamers Getting Scarce

Improvement in the quality OF
the cattle produced in this coun-
try, and particularly in the west,
has been going on slowly but
surely for years. An evidence
of this is seen in the great scar
city of canning stock all season.
For many years a good share of
the cattle coming from the west
and southwest were sold to the
packers as Gamers but packers
have been unable to get what
canning cattle they needed dur
ing the past summer altho they
have been paying the highest
price ever known for this class
of stock. Even now the packers
are securing the country for thin
and aged cattle for canning pur-
poses. 1t looks as if the stock
growers were beginning to find
out that raising scrub stock is
mighty Improbable and tn e
packers of the United States will
soon be compelled to go out of
the meat business and leave this
branch of industry to the pack
ers of Australia and also South
America Drovers Journal.

Settling our Lands.

Getting people on to the land,
actual settlers and actual produc-
ers, is the greatest problem that
Oregon has before it today. The
land is here and it is of a quality
that commends itself. But we
find that while the cities and
towns are growing in population,
the growth of the country by no
means keeps pace with them.
We have heretofore called at
tention to these facts. We do
not believe there is a more impor-
tant question before the public
and one which is apparently 50
little understood. There are
very definite emigration move
ments in other directions. Cana
da has been getting a very fine
body of American settler, preci-
sely the class that would be de-
sirable here, the South is get
ting some Of them, and others
are actually going to New York
State under the inducements
offered them.
1t is apparent that the question
before US is something more than
superficial. If it were something
on the surface it would be very
easy of solution. Just precisely
what it is and how to meet it is
the question before the public
and it should receive serious con-
sideration. So long as such land
as is bought is often bought sole
ly for speculative purposes and
not by men who propose to farm
it. we are not getting very far
ahead. What is needed is that
the land be bought by people who
will live upon it and utilize it for
productive purposes. In this
way the backbone of the state
will be strengthened and Oregon, |
in productive sense, will begin |

Antiquated Mail Service.

The Blue Mountain Eagle at
Canyon this week sends up q
protest respecting the mail SER
vIce. The people Of this place
have done likewise but have no
assurance of any relief. 1t has
been put up to the department
before without getting much sat
isfaction. Even though the To-
cal contractor has to go to Austin
for the mail it should reach here
at an earlier hour. His schedule
call for its arrival in Burns at 4
O'Clock and it seldom reaches
here before $50 and more fire.
quently it is after 8. The Eagle
says:
A voluminous protest coming
from Prairie City, John Day and
Canyon City, is being sent into
the government. regarding the
antiquated mail service given the
county. The government. throu-
gh the Forest service, appropri-
ated about 55 per cent of the to-
tai area in acres of the county and
collects n toll for its use, which
the people pay without complaint.
In return the people get a sack
Of garden seed bi-annually and a
mail service that would be n dis
grace to the land of Hottentots.
The people are in favor of the
government supervision Of 55 per
cent of its area and 50 was ex-
pressed by the stockgrowers'
association last week, but they
want some consideration. They
pay in thousands of dollars and
draw out a sack of seeds that
grow sometimes. The govern
ment contracted with the Sump-
ter Valley railroad to haul the
mail as far as Austin. II then
beat down the stage company to
starvation wages to haul it from
Austin, paralleling the railroad,
to Inland points. Because the
railroad company and stage COM
pany do not agree on the charges
for hauling the mail from Austin
to the terminus of the road the
mail is dumped off at Austin and
the stage instead of getting it at
Prairie City, where it should. is
compelled to go over the noun
tain after it. Instead Of getting
mail at night it is held up until
the following day. If such ad-
ministration of the postal depart
ment was credited to Turkey it
would be "A surprise, and when ii
comes from a government that
makes a nois about the efficiency
Of It's service it is revelation.
If there is no remedy for such
service all we can do is to say to
he government to keep the gar
len seed also, and we will forget
entirely that we live in America.

New Goods!
New System!
Low Prices!

Having cut out the long credit
system, we are prepared to give
prices which will pay you to buy at
home. Remember, when you buy
at home you create a market for
what you have to sell, no matter
what it consists of, whether it be
farm products, labor or legal adj
wise, you don't help your own COM
munity, when you go outside to
trade; you don't help the farmers
when you buy outside flour. Last
year many people sent away and
went outside to trade. What is the
result? The wheels of industry
have been idle, no building, no bus
mess, no work, no market. Heavy
crops are being harvested and still
a large portion of the old crop is
on hand. 1t is now time for the
people to get together if they want N
prosperity at home. Trade at our
place if you can; if not trade with N
our competitor; but Trade at Home

had been reported broadcast that
this ore was so refractory that IL
could not be milled successfully

The arrangement is to the effect
that when not otherwise engaged

Tor regular customers all the fill
in time will be devoted to Steiner
ore, which will not give the mill
moments breathing spell.
The output could be brought to
100 tons daily and win be with the

are probably 1000 tons capable OF
being hoisted on short notice.
The test was to have been 100
