Happenings at Liberty.

Last Sunday was a big day at
Liberty. The house was full CT
people both morning and evening.
The Sunday School is doing excellent
work. The prayer meeting held
every Sunday evening is a marked
success Sixty and seventy persons
take an active part each time. Some
word is given out on the previous
evening by the leader. Then each
one takes the bible and finds verse
of scripture with that word in it, The
word last Sunday evening was Blood.
What a scene Old and young with
a bible in hand standing and reading
in turn the verses selected with an
occasional prayer and song inter-
sperced. Was there ever more
decided charge in community in SO
short a time 1t only illustrates
what the gospel will do fer any
.peoule. 1t makes them better in
every sense. They become more
unselhsh, developing the social as
we'll as the moral side of life. Not
long since about 50 people assembled
at the home of Theodore Anderson
to give a joint birthday surprise for
Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Dan Barlow.
To say all had a good time would be
putting it mildly. That is a mag
nificent home with many doors and
strings attached for the accommods-
tion of all. There good people verify
the scripture saying, viz; "No man
liveth to himself and no man dieth to
himself - The ball rolls on and
on and 60 persons are gathered at
the home of Rev. league, the hen
house is unlocked. 80 chickens are
not taken out but put in. Among
them two of the kind Lorenzo Don't
used to capture the thief who stole
the pocket book and that answered
we'll for an alarm clock. This happy
bunch took possession of the premises

Still Making a Noise.

The hens about lone have been
making pretty good noise in the
weeks past, ard are still at it. Our
friend, Bert Mason, sends up the re-
port for the past eight days, or the
first week in April, ard the ship
menmts have been 109 cases, or 1870
dozen at l71a. per dozen. netting the
farmers $572 20. Mrs. French Bur
roughs leads the producers with 903
dozen for the period. This is quite
a showing for Easter week, and the
lone hen is only just beginning to
get busy The good people down that
way have added splendid asset and
the business should grow rapidly
from now on. There is money in it
and Ave believe Morrow couRty oan
produce all the eggs that the Port
lard market and other outside points
can consume when we fairly get into
the business.
And by the way, HepDner has been
doing little egg shipping the past
week: in fact fol- the past two months
our merchants have been sending Ou'
many cases of eggs and the farmer
hereabout are bringing them in
| lively. 1t is a little hard to arrive
at the exact figures for the reason
that the merchants here have not al
of them taken the trouble to keep
exact data. But it is an unusual
thing for Heppner to be shipplng out
any quantity of eggs at this season,
the rule has been to ship in, so this
shows that the industry is growing
fast at this end of the county too.
Besides fully supplying the local de-
maud which is large at this season,
better than two hundred cases have
gone to the Portland market. We
hope to be able to give exact figures
from now on, as the merchants here
are beginning to realize that the
business is growing fast and it is
important to have this information
for publication.

Is Doing Great Work.
Yours truly,
W. B. EWING.

The editor of this paper took Occa-
sion to visit the field at the top of
the Eight Mile grade just south Of
town. where the big Oil Pull eng inc
is demonstrating what it can do IN
the line of practical farm work ".
P. Sorivner is directing the work,
and the machine is in charge OF
Clarence Scrivner and Charley Ayers
the former acting as engineer and The
latter handling the section of four
plows that is being used. The field
in which they are working is 50
situated as to be fair place for
showing the possibilities Of the en-
gine, as it lays on practically ten
per cent grade, is quite rocky IN some
places and has been under cultivation
for a sufficient length of time to
soften up the surface. The engine
has no difficulty whatever in moving
along at a good speed and the boys
are blowing at the rate of an acre per
hour. To do this requires the cost
of s4 worth of fuel per ten acres,
besides the wages of man and boy,
and Mr.. Scrivner figures that it would
take team of twelve head of horses
to accomplish like amount of work
Four plows. only are being used IN
this demonstration, but on fields that
are more level than this one, six
plows can be handled just as easi ly-
Each plow WORKS in an individual
manner SO that if one strikes an
obstruction the others are n0t dis
turbed. This makes it easy to handle
in fields that are more or, less rocky
or uneven of surface. The engine
maintains an even speed and small
boy can handle the plows Just as
we'll as a man. 1t seems to Us tbst
this machine should prove good ard
economical investment to those Jar
mers who have power thrashers and
now have their money tied no III

ten months in the year This engine
could be utilized to good advants ge

Frank S. Fields.

So far in the primary campaign,
the Gazette-Times has seen fit to take
but little interest in the campaign
for state officers but there is one man
before the people that we are par
ticularly anxious to see nominated and
elected, and That is Frank S. Fields,
the present incumbent of the county
clerk s office in Moltnomah county.
Mr.. Fields is candidate before the
republicans of the state fer the nomi-
nation of Secretary Of State. He has
been the efficient clerk of Multnomah
county for the past ten years, dur
ing which period he has been able by
his splendid business ability and
systematic management, to place that
office on a profit paying basis Of $50,
600 annually, whereas, under former
administrations the loss bad heen S6r
600 annually. He has given close
attention to the duties of the office
and conducted the same as business
office should be conducted.
Furthermore Mr.. Fields is making
his campaign as a straight republi-
can, and is not looking to. or appeal
ing TO anv but republicans who are
Interested in the principles of the
party to place him in nomination.
So WHY award a democratic appointee
by casting your vote for the present
incumbent, and Mr.. Fields only
opponc mt for the nomination, who by
his own sworn statement appended
herewith, boosted Oswald West into
the governors office, and is now ask
ing the republicans to keep him
there. MIR. Olcott is no doubt ar
efficient man. but if he retains his
Office it should be through the votes
of democrats and not republicans, fol
they certainly owe him nothing.

Republicans at Chicago.

The national republican conven-
ton is in session at Chicago and is
facing one of the most serious, if
not the most serious, crises in it's his
tory. After a campaign in which per-
sonal animosity has been shown to
sn unparalleled degree the standing of
the two leading candidates is so close
that it is unsafe to predict the out
come. Contests were heard on 254
delegates. OF these 235 were decid-
ed in favor of President Taft and
nineteen in favor of Roosevelt. At
the close of these hearings the Taft
men claimed $50 delegates or twenty
five more than necessary to nominate
him But Mr.. Roosevelt is in on the
ground doing everything in his power
to change enough delegates to defeat
Taft, and il is not certain that he has
not accomplished his purpose.
OF course the wisest course would
be to desert both Taft and Roosevelt
and name a man upon whom all fac
lions of the party could unite. Such
a man has not yet appeared and
Roosevelt seems determined to rule
or ruin the party. The only hope
for the party now seems to be not in
a candidate but in the adoption of a
platform so fair and reasonable that
men cannot refuse to support it no

Protest From California.

To the Editor of the Caledonian,
Sir:
Your lengthy and Iabored editor
ial on '-Ine Election of Senators" re-
minds me of a lazy hired man saving
wood with dull, INCREASED saw.
/ can fairly hear the shrieks of the
Interests, in the rasping cries of your
reluctant and protesting blade.
Your views are an insult to the
intelligence and honesty of the vot-
ers of Vermont. cannot conceive of
the people Of the Green Mountain
state voting to Whitewash Senator
Lorimer; but that is the way Yer
mont went in that malodorous epis-
ode.
I'm sorry. / cannot believe that
down in your heart you believe what
you say in that editorial The only
ether conception is that you are like
Taft who would not recognize the
handwriting on the wall when he
saw it. 1t is not of course, conceiv-
able that in ermont there are pow
erful selfish interests opposed to the
poplar election of United States sem
ators. Il almost wrote it United

CHARLES V. BARTON.
Los Angeles, Cal, May 80, 1912.
Mr.. Barton asked that this letter
be published to remind his st. Johns
bury friends of thirty years ago that
he is still alive. His hearing 'the
shrieks of the Interests" in the edi-
torial referred to indicates he is
still possessed of a very acute hear
ing. There is one trouble with it
and that is it hears things that are
no so.
If our memory serves. us correctly
California has been credited with
being a hot bed of political corrup-
ton, and that the most fragrant ex-
amples of it have not been in the
election of it's United States enators
by the legislature but Offices filled by
direct appeal to the people. Are we
correct in this Mr.. Barton?
