There baa been considerable warn ing given by prominent persons and government official who have made a ntudy of the supply and demand of the meat question In this country un der the belief that we were facing a shortage In the supply to meet the de mand. That owing to the rapid Increase of the population and the decrease of the meat producing animals of the United Slates, were approaching a very crit ical period. range on government lands, compell- 1UK IOO rHULU IllfU IU ICUULIJ Ul OVII off their entire herd of cattle with the Increase of the population is like a two-edged sword on the meat question cutting down the supply and Increas ing the demand. . - This necessitates tlie farmer in mak ing a greater effort to build up his soil to grow the steer and to enlarge bis herds of wlne. The hog ha the advantage in many way of proving himself the key to -the meat supply. He annually increase from 500 to a possible 1500 per cent; whereas the steer and sheep are from 60 to a possible 80 per cent. While tho hog is ready for market In six or right months, the ateer require two years. The bog again is a gleaner and saver by uBlng the by-product of the creamery, of the beet factory and of the waste from the table known as garbage in cities. No other animal will gather the mast or glean the grain In the fields or the fullen fruit of the orchard. Again he will make twice the num ber of pound of meat from a bushel of corn or grain that the steer will. This Is starting up a fresh Impetus from the country for hog growing. The South, the Went and the Northwest are takln from the corn and hog belt and producing pork In many instances much cheaper than It can be made in the corn states. Again we see that the title all over .the country aro establishing for the feeding of gar bage which in gathered up, assorted, cooked and fed, maintaining large numbers of hogs from what has here tofore been very largely waste. The experts of the Department of Agriculture are studying the situation and endeavoring to get at the bottom of the trouble and suggest the remedy. They have Just Issued a bulletin ad vocating increased hog production on the Irrigated fnrms of the West, that pork production be made an adjunct to the creamery wherever conditions permit. They state that the irrigation farmers have a splendid opportunity i... 11,0 rnflinlil nroduction of pork I 11.1 1111 l' - - ! of the high quality. Pigs, they state. can be raised at a minimum hi alfalfa and then be finished on grain such as barley and peas. A brood sow can be wintered on alfalfa hay and a few sugnr beet dally without corn. They also are favoring the "Hoys' Pig Clubs" and "Corn Clubs" that have been formed In the South, organized by the Department of Agriculture botn state and general government. t- .1.1 .nnirioi whpre the DODula- tlon I dense the mass of the people are deprived of meat. They have to take Into consideration that It takes from three to six pounds of grain to make one pound of meat that the lab oring people especially are compelled to use the grain as human food rather than having it transformed Into a more concentrated form at an expense or Iob In quantity. In other words there Is more food for the human in eating the greater pounds of grain than in the lesser pounds of meat. For this cause It brings the hog tmo the forefront as the meat key for the mass of people because of his econom ical nature and because of his prolif icacy in production and quickness of development and because he Is the greatest producer of meat from pounds of grain than can be found In the ani mal kingdom. Again it require perhaps less cost , housing him and handling the quantity 01 w",'1"""';--' than any other animal.

Tbe total of taxable property In West Llnln Is $2,420,000 and this city will receive nearly 120,000 each year from tbe county road fund. If cer tain property In tbe southeastern part of the city can be added to the city tax list, thlls amount will ptobably be Increased $5,000. The first step In building this ya- tem of highway would probably be tbe paving of the county road from tbe west approach of tbe suspension bridge to the city line to the north which would be beyond Bolton. Leading back from this central highway and winding upon tbe hill un til the top wa reached, there will be built highway 10 arranged a to af ford an easy grade and at tbe same time to give the best view of th eriver Mils and mountain. These roadways would connect tbe city park block and park which are being planned by tbe improvement club. With such a combined system of hard surfaced highways and parks, it 1 thought that West Linn can be made the mecca of Portland automo bile parties and one of the best drive in the valley. The view from west Llnln hill In cludes the low lands on the east side of the river and the foot hills of the coast range, which slowly rise into the tree covered backbone of the range. On a clear day several snow capped mountain are visible from tbe hill. Work baa not been started and def inite plana have not even been made although work will probably be under way soon after the first of the year if tbe charter is adopted.

II WANTS PLAN TO USE GASOLINE AS POWER Read Will Pcntrita Rich Valley and Open Up New Country to Larger Market Work to Degln at Once Whether or not the franchise fir the proponed new railroad for Clack amas county will be granted will be decided today by the county court. The proposition waa submitted to that body tbe latter part or last week anu the court decided upon Friday a thn day upon which It would announce It decision. Tbe franchise, asked for by the Portland capitalists, grants the right to build and operate a gasoline rail road between boring and Sandy. The line would be one of the first passenger-carrying roads on tbe Pacific coast which was run by gasoline loco motives in the same way that various lines in the eastern state are oper ated. The promoter claim that such a line would prove a great benefit to the eastern portion of the county a It would open to outside market the rich 8andy valley and bring the townn of Sandy and Kelso in doner touch with Portland. The men behind tbe road claim that they .have enough money within reach to build the line and that by the mid dle of the summer It would be in op eration. Ties, lumber and cordwood would probably compose the greater part of the freight shipments at first, but, as the country became cleared off and tbe land, now occupied by brush and stumps wa replaced by farms, produce and products of the soli would lupplant the wood. The people of Sandy have offered to aid anJ boost for the road a much as in their power. It I said that one prominent land-owner will grant the company a site for terminal ground and tbe business men are willing to help the new line by giving It all the freight possible. ENTHUSIAM IS SHOWN AT MASS MEETING AND NO OPPO SITION DEVELOPES DELEGATION GOES. WITH PETITION Many Business Men Sign Requett for Franchise for Company on County Highway Hear ing December 24 With a petition, signed by more than 200 Candy persons and accom panied by a committee of three lead ing business men and property owner of the town, the promoters of the new Sandy railroad appeared before tho Clackamas county court Friday after noon and spent the greater part of the afternoon discussing the matter with that body. At a meeting of the city council of Sandy, held Thursday evening, the boosters of the new line explained the plan of the new road. Two hundred spectators crowded the room and the wildest enthusiasm was shown. A vote was taken at which all opposed to the construction of the line weVa asked to stand. Not one stood. Ev ery person present signed the petition and the business men of the town of fered their support in every way for the new enterprise. Three business men were delegated to appear before the county court to represent the city of Sandy. "If we can secure the franchise, the road will bo In operation by the mid dle of June, that Is providing the con dition of the weather is such that we can work Farch and April," said one of the promoters Friday to a repre sentative of the Enterprise. "Once we had started construction, the build ing of the line would be rushed and an active operation in time to haul out the wood, lumber and ties cut during the summer months." The matter will probably be brought before the commissioners again on December 24. the next time that body meets.
