to the meeting yesterday armed with
various and sundry carpenter tools.

INITIAL STEPS TAKEN
FOR COUNTY LIVESTOCK
CO-OPERATIVE SHIPPING
A group of about half a hundred
livestock men of Union county met
with County Agricultural Agent
Harry G. Avery Thursday afternoon
and attended to the preliminaries
incident to the organization of a
Union County Livestock Shipping as
sociation. The meeting was a de
cidedly representative gathering,
with livestock men present from
the valley proper, North Powder, El-i
gin and Union.
The meeting was presided over by
John Schroeder, of Island City, who
first called on Mr. Avery. The hitter
gave something of the results of the
lamb pool shipments of the past two
years and also of the local pool: hog
shipments which have been in opera
tion since last fall. He was followed
by N. C. Donaldson, county agri
cultural agent of Wallowa county.
The Wallowa county association has
been functioning very successfully
for the past few years and has come
to be recognized as one of the larg
est organizations of Its kind in the
northwest. Mr. Donaldson spoke en
tirely of accomplishments of the
Wallowa county group.
R. L. Clark, junior member of the
commission firm of Bodine & Clark,
of the North Portland livestock
yards, was present and gave some
very nractlcal suggestions along the
, line of methods of handling ship
ments. Mr. Clark proved to be a
very enthusiastic speaker and the
livestock men present Thursday felt
that he gave them many practical
Ideas.
' The freight rate situation would,
of course, command the attention
at such a meeting. The freight rates,
new and old, were discussed with
Joe Keeney, local agent, and Mr.
Clark both entering heartily Into the
discussions, with all benefiting
greatly from it.
A number of those present were
called upon to speak from the floor
and along the line of benefits to
be derived from co-operative ship
ping. The chairman, John Schroe
der, led the discussion with T. B.
Johnson, of lower Cove, John Waelty,
of Elgin, Ratle Hudson, of Imbler,
and Dillard Choate, of Bummervllle,
contributing. '
Have Community Party
Of the group of families which
has been having very lovely social
evenings together at stated intervals
all fall and winter, there werp about
40 who assembled at tho home of
Mr, and Mrs. William Taylor on the
Cove highway Saturday night for the
usual potluck dinner. The propor
tions of the supper were large, to
say the least, and it took some time
for the large company to De satis
fled, or anyway to finish the meal.
The evening was spent socially with
pinochle and anagrams furnishing
the amusement for several hours.
Mrft. Kelly Ill-
Mrs. Mae Kelley, of the Cove, well
known over the valley, was taken
quite 111 a few days ago .-with some
heart trouole. it is reported, tnat,
while she is some better, she is still

friends for more than 30 years. After
being a guest from Saturday until
Thursday at the home of Mrs, Nor
rls, tho visitor went to the Harry
Fisher home In lower Cove, where
she was a guest over night Thursday
night.
The Good Old Days
The following item Is taken from
this week's Union Republican tn the
list of items culled from the files
of 20 years ago:
After being stranded on the Pyle
canyon hill for several days, 175 pas
sengers on train No, 17 were taken
off tn sleighs sent out from Union,
They were sent to La Grande on the
Central railroad and thence west
ward on a stub train.
Moves Stock
Ed Boswell, livestock man of near1
Cove, has moved his cattle from the
stdehllls in lower Cove to Union, and
is feeding them there. j
Home From Hospital j
Roy Baker, prominent resident of
Cove, had sufficiently recovered i
from his recent operation to be able!
to return to his home the first of
the week. He has been a patient i
at Hot Lake. j
Some Storm-
There have been numerous refer-
tnees in this paper to the storm tariff regulations erected by one na
which swept over certain sections of tlcn after another on a theory of
Wallowa county early this week. The self -protection.
Enterprise Record-Chieftain of this
week gives some specific instances
of damage done, as follows:
One place where It was, however,
of considerable inconvenience was
above Wallowa lake. Two big trees
blew down on the power line of the
Pacific Power fe Light company, one
at J. A. Hopkins chalet, and the
mornina and tvns not full rinvliebt. i
R. B. Beckman, in charge of the
falls plant of the power company,
climbed into his small car and "beat
it" down the valley through the
timber, around the lake and to the
large new "stand-by" plant at the
foot of the lake.
He made the run in 20 minutes
and soon had the wheels moving in
tho lower plant, and then it was not
long until electric current was flow
ing out on the transmission wires
which serve all of Wallowa valley.
The trees were cleared away and the
lines to the falls plant put back in
commission at 1 o'clock Monday af
ternoon. A tall pine tree between the G, M.
Mr. Avery presented an outline of
the articles of the Wallowa county
association, and also the by-laws
under which they worked. Mr, Don
aldson followed, explaining these.
The motion to proceed with the or
ganization was carried without an
opposing vote. The chairman called
for the nomination of a temporary
board of directors, seven men to
serve until the permanent organlza-;
tion shall have been perfected. This:
board as chosen included the chair
man, Mr. Schroeder, John Waelty,
of Elgin, F. G. Pottratz, of Pleasant
Grove, Dillard Choate, of Summer-
vtlle, T, B. Johnson, of Lower Cove, j
Duncan MacDonald, of the Iowa dis
trict, W. T. Lampkln, of North Pow
der. The committee met Immediately
following the meeting to consider a
eonatUution and by-laws, for the
most part making such revisions to
those used by the Wallowa county
association as would be necessary to
satisfy the desires and needs of the
local group;
A meeting will be held next Thurs
day afternoon, Jan. 21, at the same
place to complete the permanent or
ganization, and It is expected that
this latter organization will take
some action concerning the new
project whether they will disband
and go In with the larger concern,
or whether they will continue to
operate as a separate unit.
It Is probable that a membership
fee of 50 cents will be set for the
new shipping association. However,
there will be no contract between
th? member and the association, the
mumber not being bound to sell
through the organization, In the
Wallowa association It was found
that they were able to handle all
losses and pay all expenses by a
charge of 10 cents per hundred, and
this arrangement will probably be
the standard charge In the local or
ganization also.
All those who attended the meet
ing Thursday were quite enthusias
tic over the prospects for a live or
ganization here, and they believe the
proposition will meet with quite uni
versal approval and support.

0Id-Time
Chinook In
Wallowa Co.
After approximately 00 days of
solid winter weather, during which
there was practically no melting of
the snow, an old time Chinook swept
over the Wallowa section tho last
of last week, according to G, C, Meek,
During the three days the depth of
the snow was greatly decreased in all
sections of that community. The
weuyther was still quite moderate
this week, he stated,
Hope For Short WinteV
While most persona there feel that
the break was much too early In the
winter to expect continuance of the
spring-like weather, many were In
deed Elad to see the warmer weather
in hopes that short water supplies at
so many of the farms in that neign
borhood might be replenished.
Feeding Not So Heavy
Stockmen report that considerably
less feed is being required at this
time. However, where feeding is be
ing done on the ground at many of
tho feed yards, there is some waste
of feed since the wet weather.
Hay supplies have been getting
much harder to secure since the
heavy feeding of the past several
weeks, c. A. Hunter wno put up a
large crop of hay on his valley farms,
has sold a large amount of hay dur
ing the past twr months, and having

Several of the other j
to this end ot the!
valley are also said to be practically
sold out at this time. Some hay Isi"
still being offered for sale In the
Lostlne section, however. Prices are
said to have advanced from 91 to 3
per ton with some of the sellers dur
ing the post two weeks A few
of the farmers In tho hill sections
who putt up more than a normal
amount of wheat hay this year, Utive
some hay of this class for sale. This
is being held at 8a per ton accord
ing to reports from some.
Wherever possible feeders have se
cured as much straw as possible for
feeding part of the stock during the
early part of the winter. During
the past several winters many of the
larger farmers having a considerable
number of horses have been able to
winter them mostly on old bunch
grass tn the tide's and pastures.
However, since tho snow has become
heavily crusted during the latter
part of December, the most of them
have been placed at straw staeks
and on feed yards.
Reports from several of the stock
men and farmers Indicate that most
of the stock is coming through the
winter in fairly good condition, with!
but very light losses to date. Sleigh
ing on many of the roads Is becom
ing quite poor ot this time, A blade

A considerable omount of the grain
consisting of both wheat and barley
are being offered for local needs at
prices ranging around $30 per ton.

With fat hog prices gradually Jos- i
ing the small gains and In face of;
the much larger fait pig crop, there j
is but little disposition on the part
of hog raisers to purchase heavily

The most of those who are well
stocked with hogs at this time feel
that the only chance they have in
coming out on them Is running them
through the winter on a small
amount of grain and defer fattening
until later In the year when they
can have advantage of green feed
and larger milk supplies.
Cream and egg producers of this
community are beginning to wonder
when the bottom of low prices will
be realized. During the past week
a drop of 10 cents per dozen tn fresh
eggs has occurred here. Cream prices
have been on theslide for the past
four weeks, reports from some of the
producers the latter port of the
week were to the effect that a stilt
further drop had occurred toward
the last of the week, putting sour .
cream down to 17 cents per pound.
A number of the men state that
they have left off on grain feeding
for their herds, being unable to make
cream production pay feeding cx

BummervlHe Thursday evening, ex- j
pressed it as his firm, opinion that!
wis w Acs tne time to expand in the
matter of raising hogs. Mr. Clark
backed up his statement of condi
tion post and present wijlch, seemed
quite convincing. .
In spetixijig of the present sltua
tion, Mr, Clark reminded his hearers
of the time when; hag-raising was
boomed so unreasonably. He stated
feat everyone in Oregon seemed to
be raising hogs and he hod actually
known of a farmer who had at one
time as many as 600 brood sows. At
that time there was no exporting and
the quantities of hogs simply could
not be handled.
The situation, now is vastly differ
ent he stated. The raising of hogs
has failed off In such . great num
bers that at present, hogs are being
imported to the northwest country.
He gave figures which showed that
230,000 live hogs were being brought
into this territory from what we
call the "middle west," each year.
That, according to Mr. Clark was far
"too high." He was also authority
for the statement that pork and pork
products having a value of $20,000,000
were being imported.
California he said, was- import
ing annually, $50,000,000 worth of
pork and pork products. With 6
favorable market condition there, he
was of the opinion that Idaho would
ship into California rather than Into
Oregon And referring again, to his
statement given at the opening of
this report, Mr. Clark said "In the
case of hogs there is nothing e far

What Kind Sells Best? .
The question, was raised as to what
kind of a hog sella best. ; His reply v
whs that the "hoc you like best, win r
do the best for you." One man pro-
lers one cr&ecJ, another man prefers :
another i& la a question of the likes .
of the raiser. A hog at market u f,
judged by finish quality,.-' proper
weight, good color, good, breed and -if
an animal measures up to these, .
all breeds are good, . '.
Must Kot lie Too Fat r
A hog to sell at top prices on the
market should weigh, between 175 and
190 pounds. Once, fat was an asset, '
but now tt Is a decided liability. His .
reason for that was that the house-
wife is just not buying lard today, .
With a larger per cent of the popula-;"
tioa living la apartments, with 11 m- ?
ited room, "a lard bucket waa Just -out
of place." He stated that is :
seemed: to be the case that the house
wife preferred the smaller cans which -contained
fats ixi different form. 'J
"It .may be," Mr. Clark continued. ?
"that you can raise and feed a hog
till it reaches 250 or 8QG pounds
and make more money than the oth- -er-
way, but this is tho exception
not the rule. For a top market price, i
175 to 190 is the best hog to ship. :
some hogs weighing as low as 160
get by and some as high as 200, but
that is seldom. .
In arranging shipments, Mr Clark i
advised his hearers to hav& the load
not to exceed 20;000 pounds in a
one-deck car, 13,000 to 13,000 being1
Betteiv ana 3,wuy in a aouDie-oecker.a
The car should be clean, and well
sanded. The animals should be ban- ?
died .capef uily. They should not be 1
fed before shipment but should be
given plenty of water. Hia reason
for this was, that the animals are;
fed heavily before the market opens '
and are also given as m$uch water oar -possible.
Animals fed just before'
shipping almost Invariably become
sea- or car-sick and will not eat
after reaching the stock yards.
