VALE, OREGON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1919. To call the attention of the thinking men and women of Malheur County to various problems of the day effecting their prosperity, welfare and happiness is the sincere aim of the Editorial policy of the Malheur Enterprise. What benefits may be derived depend upon what action you take. Talk, writing, thinking must be followed by action to accomplish any results. Are you doing your part? i a m m NORTH PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET IS ASSET TO STOCKMEN AND FARMERS OF ENTIRE NORTHWEST. The Pacific International Livestock Exposition just closed in Port land has called the attention of all producers of livestock to the growing importance of the North Portland market. For the exposition a new building 720 feet long, covering seven acres, costing $300,000.00 has been erected. It is the most complete building of its kind in the world and Ftands as h credit to the progressiveness of, as well as a benefit to the stock men of the Pacific coast. Malheur County has been asked to raise several thousand dollars toward the completion of this building, a part of which has already been subscribed by R. N. Stanfield and the county banks. Every raiser of cattle sheep or hogs can well afford to invest their proportion for this use. A booklet has been issued giving a review of the North Portland market. It is illustrated thruout and gives a complete list of com mission firms, livestock dealers, packers, and associated institutions con nected with the Exchange. The following extracts will give you a better understanding of the growth and importance of this nearer home market. Twelve years ago the ground on which the Portland Union Stock yards, the Swift Packing Plant and the Pacific International Live Stock Exposition building now are, was just an ordinary slough along the Columbia River partially covered by trees, and mostly covered by water. The first work in changing this submarine wilderness into something useful was begun in 1007. By 1909 the trees had been removed, sand had been pumped onto the low land from the slough to bring the filled land above water, stock pens had been constructed and a packing house built, so that on September 13, 190!), the PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET was opened for business. The new market was popular from the first, as is evidenced by the fact that in the months from the opening date to the end of 1909 ap proximately 23,000 cattle, n(j,000 hogs and 32,000 sheep were received through the unloading chutes. Since that year the business has grown. Buyers of livestock from outside cities have been attracted to this central market. As the buyers increased it has been necessary and advantageous for livestock shippers from a wider and wider range of country to bring their offerings to North Portland, rather than to make the long trips to the Eastern markets, which had afforded their only outlet in the old days. Today cattle hogs ind sheep are coming in a steady stream to this central market from Id;iho,Washingt.on, Oregon, California, and sometimes from Montana, the Dakota and Nebraska, to be sold to the packers and butchers of tlie Pacific Northwest, who supply the consumers all along the coast status, In Ala'-ka, and in some foreign markets. To take care of thh increase in business, the various marketing facil ities have been extended, including enlargement of "packing plants. The Stockyards Com pan v have added to their equipment until today there are 319 stock pens, all concrete paved, covering 11V4 acres; 3 Vi miles of water lines; 1 miles of sewers; 21 unloading chutes and 3 stock Scales. The operation of the stockyards is in the hands of the most careful men available, with the purpose of handling the livestock as carefully nnd as promptly as possible from the time the railroad company sets the carload consignments1 at the chutes. The first operation of the Stock yards Company is to unload and make a eomplete record of the shipper, consignee and number of head of each consignment. As soon as this record i.i made, each consignment is moved from the chute pens to other pens for feeding and watering. f As soon as placed in the feeding and watering pens the stock then pases from the possesion of the Stockyards Company to the care of the Commission men to whom consigned, who then take the resposibility of ordering the proper amount of feed and turning on the proper amount of water for the stock. This is done with a view of making the animals present the best possible appearance. At the proper time the various buy ers visit the pens and bid for the stock. As soon as possible after being sold the commission man takes the stock to the Stockyarda Company scab's for weighing. As soon as the stock is placed on the scales it again passes into the possession of the Stockyards Company. Neither buyer nor Heller has anything to do with the weighing of the slock. The weighing is done by a careful trained bonded employeo of the Stockyards Company, who makes complete record of the weighing, showing the name of both the seller and the buyer, the number of animals and the weight, registering this information, and besides making a triplicate copy scale ticket, one copy for each party concerned in the transaction. Every safeguard poss ible to throw around this weighing opcratin to make it accurate and dependable, particular care being taken in the construction of the scale and operation of it. The business of the Stockyards Company is confined entirely to re ceiving, unloading, yarding, delivering feed, watering, weighing and re shipping. It has nothing to do with actual buying, selling or slaughtering All buying and selling is done by the eight firms of commission men, members of the Livestock Exchange. The commission men are governed by a system of uniform chnrgs and regulations and are licensed and supervised by the Federal llui'u of Markets. Each sale is handled as a complete transaction and shows all the charges against the shipper, '"he commission firm records show to whom the stock is sold, price, cost of feeding, yardage, dockage and commis sion. A cheek for the balance is at once given to the shipper and the ileal is closed. Fronting on navigable awter, served by five large railway systems, con nected with Poiihmd and Vancouver by hard surfaced pavement nnd street caiH, and with plenty of room for expansion, the plant of the Portland Vnion Stock Yards Company has a location second to none in the United States. It nerves a territory of .'tr0,000 square miles in area, from all parts of which freight is transported over natural water grades. The quantity of bleeding stock and consequently the output of live stock generally greatly decreased in most districts of the Northwest daring the war. This ii especially true of cattle and hogs. Many thous ands more of all kinds of livestock con be profitable bred and fed. Every year large uiuu'en of cattle, sheep and hogs, which are not in the best condition for slaurhtciing, are purchased and reshipped to county points for further feeding. This business can be expanded very profitably to all concerned. Farmers interested in the purchase of feeders should con sult the commission funis or dealers who specialize along this line. (l,H3.ri cars of livestock including 101.737 cattle, 171,1'M bogs and 191,36:1 sheep were rceeiwd in I . 1 it up to November first. Approximately 70 per tent of receipts originated in Oregon, 12 per cent in Idaho, 12 per cent in Washington and li per cent in California. The disposition of these near half iniUion head of sheep, cattle and hogs was as follow, up proximately M pel cent s laughteied in North Portland, 40 per cent shipped to other points for slaiighlhering and f per rent ieshipMd to country Ji'inls for fiiilmg. In siverul counties of the statp community co-operation shipping of livestoc k is well established. This practice is especially beneficial to the small producer who only has a few head to market at one time. Co operative shipping a-MM'iations have been formed usually by the County Agricultural A, cuts, aided by it rt pn Mutative of the Stock Yards Com-j puny.

N, Bur gess, at the hands of a bandit out law, has brought, about a number of political complications, as well as aroused the state to demand the end of lawlessness. Mr. Burgess had just enter upon his duties as State High way Commissioner and the double murder in which he was one of the victims, has brought forth from many editors and public meetings a demand that the death penalty for first degree murder be reinstated in Oregon. It seems not only neces sary to re-establish the death penal ty, but a more certain and less ' at tractive service should be required of criminals committing lessor offenses. Hard labor and a longer and more certain term for offenders would make Oregon a less favorite camping ground for the criminal. Let us not advertise our penal institutions as palaces of beauty, where every re finement can be enjoyed and every care forgotten. Cruelty and neglect should not be tolerated, but in the light of experience, let it be known that the Oregon penitentary is not a favorite abode for "repeaters". Many aspirants ?or the office of highway commissioner from E-te'-- 1 Oregon will come to light in a few days. Wm. Pollman of Baker and E. E. Kiddle of La Grande have al ready been mentioned. It is known that Bend is anxious to furnish the next member of the commission and as Pendleton has been the fi:tc "p supply heretofore many predict that Roy Ritner or some other Round-up chief will likely be named by the Governor. Any of these men are well qualified to fill the position, yet some are known to be very sectional in their policies. Eastern Oregon is a big country and we trust the Gov ernor will appoint some man who has a broad enough mind to realize that there is more than one road needed to serve the east two-thirds of the state. The Enterprise would suggest that W. L. Thompson, former commissioner, be asked to serve until time can be taken to select the best possible successor.
