HOME SEEKERS FROM
MIDDLE WEST COMING

Portland. Ore. May 22.-(SpeciaD-
when the first trainload of homeseekers
from the middle west start from Omaha
to Oregon. according to Advancement
made by the executive committee of
the Oregon state chamber of COM
merce following receipt of long tel
egram from William Hanley from Oma-
ha. This date was selected by the
heads OF the agricultural department
of the Union Pacific system at Omaha
and confirmed here by the executive
committee of the state chamber.
Hanley, as a director of the state
chamber, is in Omaha with J. r. Heur-
ing. organization expert who is work
ing with the Union Pacific officials in
grouping together homeseekers to be
brought to oregon in body. The agri-
cultural department of the Union Paci-
nc will swing its whole forces into the
drive to send settlers to Oregon, it was
announced.
Following notification as to the re-
suits Of the conference in Omaha, Sec
retary Quayle of the state chamber
sent out letters to each commercial or
ganization OF the state, urging them TO
prepare for the coming Of the settlers,
first, by obtaining listings of lands in
their districts at prices based upon
careful appraisal. and second, to form,
IL possible. corporation. or financing
commission composed of the leading
business men Of the community, for the
purpose Of buying up these available
lands, or obtaining options upon them,
under terms that will permit the settler
to make good.
In regard to preparing for the re-
ception of the settlers when they arrive
in Oregon" said Secretary Quayle, "Eu
gene business men have already per-
fected a. tentative organization, the
purpose Of which is to buy or obtain
options on lands available for the set
tier, and resell these lands on easy
terms and long time payments. The
Crook county chamber of commerce
was recently formed and is already at
work preparing for the homeseekers
merce has a committee working on
'ans for taking care Of settlers when
they arrive in Baker.
These communities are to be COM
mended for the promptness with which
| they are meeting the situation, and I
am certain that all other communities
will do their share. The state cham
Der can only bring the settlers to Ore
gon. 1t is up to the individual dis
| tricts to take care Of them when they
arrive and see that they are located
where they can make good"
Many applications for admission to
the special homeseekers party are al
ready on file from middle western far
mers according to Secretary Quayle. A
recent letter from Gary, Indiana, stated
that three representative citizens OF a
large colony Of prospective settlers had
been selected to Join the party.

Business Houses Asked
To Observe Ordinance

The Mayor and City Council, through
the health department, wishes to cali
the attention of the various business
houses in the city to the fact that there
is an ordinance which forbids he dump
ing or throwing Of any refuse matter
on the streets. The emptying Of Gus
pidors on the street is a very filthy and
dangerous procedure. for when the con-
tents dry they are spread by the wind
and the air is filled with millions OF
dangerous disease germs to which ev-
cry citizen is exposed, ana which is eX-
tremely detrimental to health. The con-
tents of the cuspidors should be either
burned, buried or stored in a suitable
container, to be later hauled out Of the
city. Z, G, NOBLE, Mayor.

PILOT ROCK AUCTION
Declare That There Is Too Much Spread
Between Price Asked and What Buy
ers VIII Offer.

A possibility that the annual wool
auction which has been held at Pilot
Rock for years will not be held this
year at the usual time, was suggested
today by a Pendleton sheepman.
There's too much spread between
the prices the buyers are, talking of
giving and the amount the growers
are asking" this man declared.
At present the offered prices are in
the neighborhood of II and Is cents
with top price of l6 cents for the
best of the fine wool. This is altogether
too low, according to the growers,
They are asking a minimum Of 20 cents
with two more for the top quality fine
stuff
with this much difference between
the buyer and seller, it would be use
less at this time to try to make any
sales" he declared we would have
the same result the growers in Utah
had recently when they were offered
fraction more than 16 cents There
was no sale"
Local sheepmen declare that the buy
ers are trying to get wool on a specu-
lative margin which will permit them
to reap a fat profit. The buyers, on
the other hand. declare that sheepmen
are asking too much and will be COM
PEELED to accept less, With prospects
of some relief by the pending tariff
regulations the woolgrowers are as
suming an attitude of sitting tight
and waiting"
The auction is ordinarily held June
/. and it has been announced for that
date this year but sheepmen express
the opinion that it would have great
deal more chance Of being success

so early in the game.
Philadelphia registration days are
Tuesday, August 30; Tuesday, Septem-
