BY adopting the cloture rule the
United States senate has at last freed
itself from the shackles that bound
it hand and foot. 1t is now repre-
sentative body with power to act, and
vote as it may decide for itself.
no longer subject to the tyranny
which it permitted handful of OBJ
structionists to exercise.
Three senator's voted against the
cloture rule--La Toilette, Gronna and
Sherman all pro-Americans. On
the final issue they stood alone in the
entire senate. BY their un-Ameri-
canism, by their disloyalty to the
government to which as citizens and
senators they owe allegiance, they
have won a secure place in the men,
ory of the American people. They
have proved untrustworthy in time
of national emergency and the brand
of disgrace is ndelible.-New York

A Demand For Hay.

There is strong demand for hay
for many outside points, the pro-
tracted winter having exhausted
the supply in many of the outside
counties. Hay raisers on lower Will
low creek are being called upon and
some alfalfa has been shipped out of
Cecil and other points in that vicinity
so we are informed; the hay going to
the Portland market. The demand
has stimulated the price to an appre-
ciable extent. Baker and Grant
county stockmen were reported in
our last issue to be suffering severe
losses on account Of hay shortage,
and to date the situation has not
been relieved. Reports of severe
losses come from klamath county,
also, and there seems to be no way
of relieveing the situation so long
as the present unfavorable weather
conditions prevail.

Leg Severely Cut.

Robert Worden, a young man In
the employ of N. F. Lawson, was
brought down to town by Mr.. Law
son on Monday forenoon, suffering
severe injury to his left leg. Worden
was busy doing some slashing on the
Lawson farm when his axe was de-
Elected by coming In contact with a
limb above his head, and the force
of the stroke was landed on his left
leg just above the ankle. The cut
was bad one and required the at
tenion of a physician who took seve-
raj stitches to bring the wound to-
gether. Mr.. Worden's home is in
Bellingham, Wash. and he has been
at work for Mr.. Lawson for some
time.

Gets Top Prices For Cattle.

C. A. Minor shipped car Of prime
beef cattle from Cecil the past week
to the Portland market getting s9.70
straight for them. This was the top
price, the nearest to it being $3.50.
Mr.. Minor has had a very successful
season in the Cecil section, his cat
tie and sheep coming through the
winter in fine shape. At the pre-
sent time he is in the midst of lamb
ing and is getting large per CEN
tage. His neighbor, Jack Hynd, is
also meeting with great success and
reaping a large per centage of lambs.
The weather down Cecil way is warm
and pleasant and grass is coming fine
on the hills. Mr.. Minor will begin
lambing this coming week on his up
per ranches and is somewhat dubious
as to the results, owing to the pre-
sent weather conditions. The foot
hills are still covered with snow and
the prospects for the flockmasters
up this way are not very flattering.

weather will permit. 1t has been
freezing some during the night out
