..Higher Than for Years Local
butchers who have been in business
in Itoseburg for years report that
meat Is much higher nt this time than
for tho eight years past. The
condition they nver is due to the
scarcity of cuttle and hogs and not on
account of the alleged beef trust.
Speaking to a News reporter this
morning relative to the high price of
meats a local butcher sahl that be
had been engaged in the retailing of
meats for nearly all his lite, but nev
er had It been as difficult to obtain
marketable niea's as at present. In
regard to the meat boycott tho butch
er said that such procecdiire was
pleasing to the large wholesale meat
linns Inasmuch as they would t
abb to bear down the price of rattle
and hoKM on foot, fatten them and
(hen hold for a strong market

the new telephone exchange Is pro
gressing rapidly, Indications tending
to show that the same will be in read

four weeks. As soon as the building
is completed the telephone company
expects to Install a new modern and

tating tho work of the operators who
are at present handicapped on ac
count of the nntequated equipment.
It is also said that several additional
country lines will be Installed with a
view of eliminating the present con
gested condition of the lines.
Many Favors Asked There are
perhaps few people In the commun
ity In which a newspaper Is published
who realize the numerous favors
that are asked of it during a brief
period of thirty days. Just this
morning a young fellow, smiling and
apparently suffering from overjoy,
visited The News sanctum, and in a
peevish tone asked the editor to ex
tend hltn a favor. Asked as to the
nature of the favor the young man
replied that he was soon to be mar
ried and desired that the license be
kept on the "Q. T." As usual the re
quest was granted and the fellow loft
the office Jubilant. The public, how
ever, will be compelled to await the
announcement on account of the gen-1
eroslty of the editor.

nresented to the railroad company
they looked upon It with little favor.

from that suburb did not warrant the
company establishing a sidetrack or
even stopping tho local trains upon1
flng. Tho petitioners then carried
the matter to the Oregon railroad j
commissioners, who promised to meet
here and entertain the request on the
date above mentioned. Attorney Or

the Southern Pncific company, will
probablv represent the latter. It is
expected that the entire day will be
consumed In going over tho matt

meeting will be held at the court
