Oregon Livestock
Breaks All Records

Portland, Ore.-According to the
annual report of the Portland Union
Stockyards Company, Oregon mar
keted more livestock during the past
twelve months than during any other
similar period in the states history.
Not only was 1913 record-breaking
year in the best prices ever paid in
the west for all classes of meat ami
mails, the prices for hogs, especially,
being higher than in any other mar
ket in the United States. From ship
ments originating wholly in Oregon
the company received 40,329 cattle,
1908 calves, 217,634 sheep and a.
319 hogs, the latter of an average
weight of 21S pounds.
The present year is also starting
out with most encouraging move
ment of stock, the local yards having
received in one day, January -, a
total of 80 carloads of meat animals
VI al hlhuS, VI "HlCl 90 ChTlOduS
originated in this state. With Ore
gon farmers increasing their holdings
of stock while paying careful atten-
ton to the production of animals of
better quality there is every reason
to believe that 1914 will equal, or
surpass, the record of last year
Farmers of Oregon who determine
to make corn one of their crops next
year will be furnished free seed by
the o. w. r. & n. Co. on condition
that they plant, cultivate and harvest
the corn in the manner prescribed by
the company's crop experts. Since
the corn show of last fall many in
quiries regarding seed have been re-
ceived, and, as far as it will reach,
the corn exhibited will be distributed
among interested farmers. The COM
pany is also planning to organize
boys corn clubs throughout its terri
tory and will offer prizes to the lads
raising the best field corn in the larg-
est quantities per acre. The COM
pany will require each farmer receiv-
ing free seed to agree to dispose of
none of his crop except for seed, and
if he has more than enough for his
own and his neighbors' use the COM
pany will buy it from him at 10 per
cent above current market prices.
Marketing farm crops by parcel
post is to be given a rather severe
trial in Wallowa county, where two
carloads of timothy seed is ready for
delivery. 1t is said the seed can be
moved by mail at a considerable saw
ing in transportation expense.

word had never passed them, cheeks
that are rosy and blush once in a
while, eyes that speak according to
their feelings, whether they be merry
or little sad, hair combed to suit
the age, and last of all, an easy,
graceful walk not marred by the new
steps in such young society. Her
general appearance is that of a sens
ible girl.
Were you ever acquainted with
such young lady? If so, did you
ever notice those eyes when they are
looking your way? They are sweet
eyes, whether blue, gray or brown.
The disappointment or sadness comes
out in those eyes and again they
sparkle with delight or shine with
mischief. Her laugh is full of music
and comes from the tips OF her un-
pinched toes, but not loud and bois-
ferrous.
Young men, which kind would you
choose? 1t may be that you can
enjoy yourself with the so-called
beauty, but is it not like heaven to
be with beauty itself, not only in
feature but in character as well?
Although l am not yet 10 I can
see where some peoples faults lie.
AS I say, everyone has his own
opinions and this is only one of mine.

The unconscious humor OF country
journalism, says William Allen

the best efforts OF the alleged funny

According to White, there once ap-
peared in a Kansas paper the follow

ONE TO a. YEARS
Youthful Burglar Sentenced to
Joliet by Judge olmsted Un-
der Indeterminate Act.
WITNESS IN FRYER CASE
Turned States Evidence, convlctins
Secondhand Dealer Of Act
Ing as a Fence.

Silas Bender. Rock Islands 23-year'
old burglar. who has had something
more than a local reputation In the
past for his misdeeds, this morning in
circuit court pleaded guilty to burglary
and larceny and was sentenced by
Judge r. w Olmsted to the state PEN
itentiary for a period from one to Il
years, under the provisions Of the in
determinate act.
When brought before the court, Ben
der was served with a copy OF his in
dictment and the list OF witnesses who
had appeared before the grand jury in
his case. He plead guilty when ar
raigned and when Judge Olmsted ex-
planned that he was entitled to trial
by jury. he insisted In his plea
When asked IL he had anything to
say before sentence was pronounced
he replied: 81 have been in county
Jail for six months and have made up
my mind to live an honest life. i don't
suppose / can ask the court for any
Ieniency at this time"
"Silas, told you several years ago
when you were before me. what the
outcome would be but my admonition
didn't do any good comment
ed the court.
Wants to Reform.
Il never seemed to realize until now,
what I have done and / want to re-
FORM" was the reply OF Bender.
THE authorities will be glad to give
you another chance" said the judge.
The states attorney has done all in
his power to aid you and l will give
you the benefit OF the doubt and back
him in his position"
Bender and George Hillman were in
dicted for the burglary OF the saloon
Of Bernard E Johnson. 1903 Fifteenth
street, Moline, Nov. %. 1914 A silver
open-faced watch. valued at S5.25 and
five nickels from the cash register
were taken. Hillman disappeared aft
er the robbery and has never been To-
Gated.
Bender was the star witness for the
prosecution in the case against Sam
Fryer. who was convicted OF acting as
fence for stolen property. II was on
. the strength OF the story told by Ben
&der that the second hand dealer was
Ufound guilty. The latter has appealed
his case to the supreme court.
Recommends Parole.
States Attorney F. E. Thompson In
his recommendation TO the state board
Of pardons, has the following to say:
Bender turned states evidence
against S. Fryer. a fence for stolen I,
property. and was instrumental in Sc
curing his conviction. While Bender
is a criminal OF no mean ability, feel
that his recent conduct warrants an
earnest effort to make him a law abid-
ing citizen. He was addicted to the
use OF dope but has quit its use He
has shown to me that he wants to be-
>n:ne a law abiding cit.se e.. and / feel
that an early parole would be advis-
able in this case"

night with a studious and conscien-
tious performance OF Hamlet" At
Saturday matinee "As You Like IT,
was given, THE Merry Wives of
Windsor" Friday night. and The
Merchant OF Venice" Thursday.
Even considering the color OF life
and unreseryed entertainment the
players gave to the rare Merry

their Merchant OF Venice" n seemed
that their greatest triumph was
achieved in the two performances
