Farmers of the United States moi
of producers but they are the largest
single class of consumers of finished
products of all kinds, and the largest
class of shippers. In view of all
this, it is essential, in order that the
country as a whole be prosperous, that
the farmer as a class be prosperous.
When the Republican Party came
into power in March, 1921, the agricul-
tural sections of the country were in
the midst of the greatest depression
they had eve experienced.
In response to a general demand
from the agricultural interests the Re-
publican Congress, on May 81, 1921, 40
days after the session convened, en-
acted the Emergency, or Farmers
Tariff. This stopped at once the influx
of agricultural imports and saved to
the American farm producer his home
markets.
The best proof that the tariff really
protects the American farmer is the
fact that since it's operation Canada
has renewed her efforts to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty that will admit hef
agricultural products into this country
free. AS a further proof of the effect.
iveness of this tariff 1t was renewed
November Is, 1921, by the solid vote
of the congressman representing the
agricultural States. The enactment
of this tariff was opposed by the solid
Democratic minority in both House
and Senate, with a few notable excep
tions.
Fol- more than a quarter of a cen,
fury there has been a demand from the
producers and consumers for control
of the packing ard allied industries.
Responsive to this demand Congress
enacted such a law. 1t cannot be gain
said that the livestock industry of the
United States has had better treatment
from the very day that this law began
to operate. This bill was drawn by
Republicans, introduced in both
branches of Congress by Republicans,
and passed by both branches of Con
gress controlled by Republicans.
For more than 40 years there has
been pending before Congress, in n
form or another, legislation to control
grain exchanges and to stop the manip-
ulation of prices of farm products.
Such a law has been enacted bysthis
Republican Congress. Like the hck.

width of four miles and a maximum

then, in front of it a spill-way bearing
a strong resemblance to a section of

women. In fact when congress,
in 1868, created the Territory of
Wyoming from parts of Dakota,
Utah and Idaho, a constitution
was adopted which gave women
the right to vote.
There were rumors of early
Spanish explorations in Wyoming
but they seem unfounded by
fact. Probably the first white
men to visit this part of the
country were Sieur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed
through this region in 1743 in
search of locations for trading
posts. In 1904 the Yellowstone
was first visited by hunters, al
though the fame of its scenic
beauty was not given much Gre
dence until 1870 and 1t was set
aside as a federal reserve in
1872.
The first permanent fort in
Wyoming was erected in 1884
where the Laramie river flows
into the Platte. Later when the
stream of immigrants passed
through this region on their way
to the California gold fields a
string of forts were erected

tect the travellers from attacks
by the hostile Sioux Indians.
Through Wyoming went not
only the Oregon Trail, which
was opened up by Lieutenant
Fremont and his guide, Kit Car
son, in 1912, but also the Salt
Lake Trail. Along these routes ,
many travellers crossed Wyo-
ming, but few stopped and set
tied there as the country was
the most arid of all Il states.
The discovery of gold in 1867
led to the founding of South
Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the
Union Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the forty
fourth state of the Union in 1890
and is eighth in size with an
area of 1874 square miles.

STOCKMAN AT CAMAS
PRAIRIE REPORTS LOSS

Il will have about rs or so cow
hides on the fences by tho time spring
really arrives and will have lost about
half my calf CROP" said Frank Hill
bert, pioneer Camas Prairie stockman
who is down from his home at Ukiah
today.
Hilbert says the winter has been the
longest he has ever scene He attri-
butes the heavy calf loss to the fact
that his COWS began calving in March
when they were still on dry feed in
stead of being on good JUICY spring
grass as they usually are at that time
of the year.
In view of the unusual conditions
he does not figure his loss to be ex-
ceptional. He went into .the winter
with more than 500 head of cattle and
he considers himself lucky not to have
lost more than so head of these.

Damage Will Take rs Per
Ct. Fruit and Berry Crops.

Over the whole fruit district in the
Milton -Freewater county the losses to
the fruit, vegetable and berry busi-
ness on account of Tuesday mornings
heavy frost will average about 10 per
cent in the opinion Of w. A. Doherty.
orchardist of that district who was IL
Pendleton visitor today.
with three other men l spent the
day yesterday in driving over the
country and examining various or
chards and gardens over a wide area,
and from present indications, it is my
opinion that the loss will average
about rs perS cent for the fruit and
berries Mr.. Doheity said.
"The frost did not prove equally
heavy In all districts, which is usual
in such cases. The loss Is particularly
heavy In that area between Ferndule
and Walla Walla. In the district be-
tween Sunnyside and Milton the loss
cs will not run SO heavy, and In some
Of those orchards it is possible that
favored spots will produce so per
cent of normal crop"
The strawberry crop is also heavily
reduced in prospect on account OF tn
freeze, according to, the orchardist
The vines are black now. but there is
a possibility that later blooms may
produce o. partial crop. Apples are
hard hit as are peaches, pears and
cherries. This is the heaviest jolt the
apple crop has received in many years
in the east end of the county, accord
ing to Mr. Doherty.

Bankers of the east end declare
