Aftera long rest | will try to
| give a few lines of News from
this part of the county.
The long looked for. and need
ed, rain has not come yet. and
pastures, gardens and field crops
are burning up.
VIM. Barber, Of the mountain,
got hurt one day last week while
going to his mill to work. He
ran over a rock with his automo-
bile and the jolt hurt his back.
He started his mill and the lifting
in operating his mill hurt him
worse, and he got almost help
less and had to be hauled home.
He is now being treated by DIR.
Janeway and is improving.
The good people of this place,
assisted by Rev. Founders, have
built tabernacle near the M. E.
Church, 36x64 it,, with a. plat
form. 10x20 feet. Bro. Pound
ers are preaching morning and
evening under it's cool shade.
Good crowds are attending the
nightservices. The meeting will
continue a week or longer.
The quarterly meeting, Metho-
dist, will meet here Aug. 2 and 8.
The District Superintendent. DIR.
Mitchell. will be on hand and do
some of the preaching. A cor
dial invitation is extended to all
who love. to hear the gospel and
simplicity. If it is not in the
Bible, don't take it.
My, but isn't it hot and dusty!
| hope we will have a good rain
at an early cate to cool the air
and kill the dust and fill the wells
that are going dry. Several fam
lilies are hauling water for cook
ing and drinking from the big
spring on the creek near Looneys.
The transfers are still hauling
crossties, extract wood and tan
bark from the mountain to the
Pickett Switch. This has been
going gu Tor several years. but
il seems to increase instead of
diminish. Blue jay.

TROUBLE IN
THE RIDGES
Warrants Out for the Ar
rest of Two Men charg-
ed With Waylaying.

Ed Johnson Of the Ridge east
of here, was arrested Tuesday
morning by deputy Ferguson on
warrant charging him with lying
in wait on public road with pis-
tol with intent to commit assault.
Warrant is also out for the ar
rest of Hugh Barnett for the
same offence. johnson was adj
mitted tosbail to appear before
Squire Ashburn at Victoria Sat-
urday at l O'Clock.
The trouble seems to be over
services held in the Caroline
Chapel section by Rev. John Dis.
ney, there being attempts to
break it up by promiscuous shoot
ing of pistols. The men arrested
are said to have laid in wait for
other parties along the public
highway, hence their arrest.
However, no one was hurt in the
encounter. which seems to be a
matter of bad blood, whether or
not over church matters is a
question.

sequence Il that they fatten quickly
and are hard, stand shipping with less
shrinkage than others that look well
but take ON all the fat quickly and
are soft and shrink accordingly. As a
case In point a trainload of well bred
cattle SHIPPED from Condor, Oregon,
in the market the same timc as tho
I.n zinla. Nelson and Kopp cattle sold
for from one to two cents less than
the Iazinka outfit, simply because
they had not had the proper care.
At the time those cattle We're ship
ped the coast markets were over-sup-
piled with california steers. The Cali
ifornians looking TO markets East
found them not as good as our
Northern markets. They overcrowd-
ed the Portland. Tacoma and Seattle
packers. They had to buy them and
hold them around in pastures and on
hay at an enormous expense to them
selves. They had to be slaughtered
before they could take on the oregon
stuff. Twas lucky for our Oregon
shippers they struck the high point
there since March. Coast packers are
now in shape to handle all these Ore
gon cattle. They are not a stickier
for low prices. This is proved by the
fact that Frye and Co. paid in the
Seattle yards 2sc per pound for the
first load of hogs ever sold at that
price up to that time west of the
river.
Coast packers need the stock rais-
They should work together as much
nifty of interests. 1t costs $2.00 per
or more to ship to the Mis-
souri, river points as against rs cents
per hundred to ship to the coast.
Another point some times brought
forward is that the coast packers
pool. Now, I know this is not So
as 1 have been associated with all OF
them at different times and know that
most too much so.
Now as to spectators, there are
times when they make some NOR ey.
But not always. This last year they
lost all they ever made and some. be-
sides. The packers feed some cattle
as a protection. Otherwise they

They don't want to feed. They gcn-
orally lose on what they have to feed
Packing is a business by itself. So
is feeding. The proper people to feed
are the farmers and stock raisers.
They can feed to much greater adj
than any one else and can
take better care of their stock. Don't
have to hire everything done and keep
the fertilizing for the good of their
own farms. J. C. LONERGAN.

CHEAPER BREAD

"a five cent loaf of bread, as
~ congress now proposes,
sounds good to the wage
Garner and, if it could be made
possible by a plan as put forth,
would likely go long way to-
ward settling the food costs
problem. 1t would be brought
about by a maintenance of the
guarantee to the growers and
by the government absorption
of 81 loss on 250,000,000 bar
rels of flour. The proposal
shows that congress is taking
the situation somewhat in
hand.
Although the price of wheat
is a regulating factor, as the
legislators aver, meat and meat
products are more so factor.
The fact must not be lost sight
of that most of the high prices
of materials today are trace
able directly to the price of
meat, which is controlled by
five big packers, .and not to the
price of grain. The meat peo-
pie consume is only one small
factor over which the packers
have control. Shoes, wool, fats
soaps and hundreds of lesser
by products of the meat ami
mails are in the packers control.
People must not expect a re-
duction in the wheat cost to ar
leviate all. They must not sit
by and see the packers left un-
scathed. There is a lot of
cleaning up to be done in that
line before prices will come
down to a reasonable level.

OF some cattle shipped to Kansas SitS

and further that oregon cattle rais'

this and explain why the coast pack

In the first place MIR. Lazinka is

good cattle and never lets them get
poor in flesh, while others let their
