CONVINCING
DEMONSTRATION
If you have any doubts regarding the efficiency
of La Grande Beet Sugar for fruit preserving
purposes, a lonk at the display of preserved
fruits and jellies at the Staples Grocery Store
will convince you that '.a Grande Beet Sugar
will do the work.
If public sentiment la evinced
through the attitude of the press,
other candidates may well regard with
no little apprehension the movement
in behalf of Senator La Follette for
president.'- Here comes what seems
to be credible Information that In
Minnesota alone 139 newspapers are
openly committed to the cause of the
Wisconsin man, while In Nebraska
the number Is ; yet larger. This Is
portentious. It is deeply significant
Journals that endorse Mr. La Follette
do so freely. They are not affected
by "Influence" as It Is known In
political sense. Their allegiance is
of a spontaneous nature and readily
becomes enthusiasm.
Watch it! V " ,
Keep an eye on those states where
already the press essays so cordial an
attitude. Something may be heard
to drop there. Madison (Wis.) Dem
ocrat.

constructed over them between 182
and 188. This one, known as the
Meacham road, one ' . farther north,
the Thomas Ruckell, another- still
further north, the Llnckton and an
other south of this, built by the gov
ernment, la now abandoned. For a
time these roads . , were exceedingly
profitable, but mining declined In
Idaho and eastern Oregon, and the
Central Pacific route drew off much
of the travel. Mr. Foster, the pres
ent owner of the Meacham and the
Thomns & Ruckell roads, gave me
the following points illustrative of the
travel being a regular bonanza. Pur
ing the years from 1803 to 1866 from
100 to 500 footmen, 25 to 40 horse
men and from 80 to ISO pack animals
daily, paying 40 cents for puck an!
mals, CO for footmen and $1 for
horsemen. Everything was booming
for a time, but when the mines col
lapsed and the miners, upon return'
Ing to Portland were broke, and com
pelled free passage. Much of the
Immigration from 1870 to 187S was
in the same condition." This road
leaves the valley at Oro Dell and goes
on over to Pendleton. .

Money In the Hog Business.
Many rnnchers of this section are
considering the advisability of going
into the hog business, as a means of
getting rid of the surplus of grain
produced In this section. The plan Is
doubtless a good one and will not only
create a market for the grain, but
will prove a most profitable venture.
Judging by the1 experience of those
who have tried It, a good deal more
than present net prices can be secured
out of our wheat by feeding It to
hogs. '
One great obstacle to hog raising on
an extensive plan In this section has
been the question of water, but that
is being solvtfft by the drilling of deep
wells. .
