Portland, Oregon, Doc. 24, 11)02.
Editor Crook County Journal.
Dear Sir:
As you are doubtless aware,
the National Livestock Association
holds its next annual mooting in
Kansas City, January 13 10th
; inclusive. Oregon wants the con
vention to meet with them in Port
land in 1904, and with this in view
' a strong delegation will attend the
Kansas City meeting for the pur
pose of securing this date for Port
land. We have bean assured by
stockman from various sections of
the United States and Canada that
they would gladly consider such a
proposition, and we believe an
earnest co-operative effort would
eucceep in inducing such action on
their part.
In order to be properly equipped
for this contest we desire as large
representation from Oregon -as it
may be Vossihle to secure, and
knowing your interest in these
matters and desire to further the
welfare of our state, and believing
that you fairly appreciate the im
portance of bringing this large con
vention of representative business
men to Oregon, have to ask that
you will place the matter before
your readers in such a manner as
shall procure their attendance on
this occassion.
The railroads have made a rate
of $60 from Portland, 155 from
Pendleton,. to Kansas City and re
tnm, tickets good for thirty days.
A side trip has been arranged from
Kansas Citv to New Orleans, via

Boaansa tn Salt.
MV. H. McCall, who has been
hauling stock salt from his salt
marsh to Bailey & Massingill and
Avers, Witlworth & Ayers, has a
veritable bonanza in the salt busi
ness, says the Lakeview Examiner,
He has taken about 260,000 pounds
of salt off his salt marsh this year,
and expects to take off 100,000
more yet this fall. There is very
little cost in getting the salt,
Three men can pile up 100,000
pounds in a week, and then all
there is to be done is to sack, weigh
and haul to market. The salt is
delivered to Lakeview for 14 cents.
In an ordinary year 500,000 pounds
can be taken off the marsh, and in
a dry year there is much more.
Last year there was estimated to
be fully 800,000 pounds. The salt
marsh has been known and used
by the Lake stockmen for a
dozen years, and it was only last
year that Mr. McCall fiWd on the
marsh. The salt is much better
and purer than that usually found
in salt marshes, as the little lake
is fed by salt springs. Six gallons
of the water when boiled, will
make four gallons of fine pure table
salt. Mr. Hays will put up a
small evaporating plant next sea
son, and if it works satisfactorily
will put up a large plant and furn
ish this whole section with salt.
The stock salt is much better taken
out in large chunks as it forms in
the bottom of the lake when the
water evaporates in the Bummer.
Mr. McCall thinks his salt marsh
is worth more to him than his
stock ranch, including his 2000
head of sheep. It certainly is.

entire year. Fudge and angel ' food are
not very filling for a hungry man."
"i'udge and angel' food the idea! I
decided on a menu of six courses, and
spent ten days in looking up the recipes
for it and studying them. Unfortunate.?,
the exertion made me so tired that 1 be
came mentally upset and was apt to con
fuse a recipe for Italian cream with one
for creamed lobster, and they are very,
very ditlerent. However, when New
Year's day really came and darry said
that he must apend the greater part of it
at the office going wet his account, I felt
that success was sure."
"By the way, haven't you a good cook?
And didn't you let her help and advise
you?"
"She wanted to, but I told her that she
needed a holiday and must take it while
I got the dinner. Sae then confessed that
she didn't want to go out txc-tuse her
beau was coming to see her and wouid be
ofiendtd if she was out. I told her that
made no difference; that what you did
on Sew Year's day you did the year round
and if she did not work on that day she
M'ould doubtless be married to a million
aire and living a life of luxurious idleness
within six months."
"Humph. D'd she go then?"
"She did. Then I set to work, and,
oh, bow I did work, but somehow nothing
was well, quite like the pictures in the
household magazines. The odor of thing
burning, too, became so strong that Lie
man from next door a perfet-.-nt ranger
came over to see if the house was on lire
and if he could be of any use."
"Well, luckiiy, you could air the whole
place thoroughly before Harry came
home.
"I did. By noon I had cooked enor.glt
to feed a regiment dinner was to be a;
three but somehow it did not seem very
appetizing, so 1 decided to have only four
courses; that was a more economical din
ner for a young couple aiiyaow. When
Harry arrived, promptly at tnree, I was
all ready and trying to look as if I feit
cool and hide the two burned and one
cut finger. I had decided that three
courses were enough for anybody save a
glutton, by that time."
"Well, I am sure that everything was
very nice.
"It well, it was not quite perfect; I
had forgotten to (tuff the chickens and
I had put fait in the cranberries instead
01 sugar, but that was mere detail, for
the table locked lovely with all my bet
linen, embroideries, silver, glass and
china on it. As I wanted to surprise him
thoroughly, I did not tell him that I had
cooked it myself I meant to tell him that
at the very last."
"As a sort of postscript to the dessert.
How nice!"
"M'hm. Well, though he had said be
was wildly hungry, he did not eat just
played with things. He kept starting to
speak, too, and then shutting his mouth
tight without saying a word. Something
was wrong with the coffee, though I had
put in twice as much as the cook book
said. As he set down his cup, well, rather
more forcefully than was quite necessary,
he said: 'Well, dear, it is New Year's
day, and I have resolved not to lose my
temper for an entire year, but I must
say one thing: the girl who cooked that
dinner must be dismissed before to-morrow's
sun is up. A woman who would
give a hungry man underdone chicken,
overdone potatoes and asbcs'os pie, would
be capable of murdering us in our beds!' "
"Oh, well, you need never tell bim that
you cooked that dinner."
