hy the individual stixkgrower in

tire good work. It might be added
that t the recent livestock con
vention in Portlnud the way wss
pved for the organixation of
coiupny which will bring about
desired results and create n era of
prosperity nd independency for
this great industry.
But the success of the undertak
ing rests materially upon the
atockman himself. He must not
t this time lie down expecting
others to do his share when suc
cessful culmination of united effort
means s much prosperity to one
as to the other. Particularly must
this be applied to Crook county.
The scatterd districts must get in
touch with each other and work in
unison through the county organ
isation, which in turn will voice
the sentiment and feeling of the
whole community and apply the
force where it is best needed. The
most opportune time to act is now
while enthusiasm is stirred and
the speeches made at the Live
stock convention are still fresh in
the public mind. There ought to
lie sufficient argument to enlist
the undivided efforts of this coun
ty in the fact that an independent
com i any means an opeu market
for the stock grower and freedom
from the merciless prices and dic
tations of the beef barons. An in
dependent and open market is

It is time, therefore, that Crook
county joined with the other stock
counties in the state and took hold
of this independent (lacking house
business with a bull dog tenacity.
A fight will have to be made
against the trusts,, of course
to send lack in answer, and letter
writing is a tedious job when the

times a week. With a Board of
Trade in operation such matters
could lie handled quickly and sat

the Oregon spirit has conquered
greater evils than that and a little
time and the intelligent array of
forces will remove the obstacle.
It is simply a case of each stock
man for himself in an united effort
fighting to bring shout a decided
change for increased wealth and a
profitable and honest price for his
products. Let every stock grower
lend a hand in keeping up the in
terest and effort to produce results
and in the end ample return will

re-advertise for bids calling for a

The dav of frame buildings fori
school purioses is past, and Crook
county is well able at this time to
afford a good substantial stone
high school building.
The bids received in response to
the last advertisement ranged from
