From present indications the wool growers are about the only oik who will bring any large amounts of money into the county this spring from the sale of their products. With the cattle market still on the slump there is decid ded disposition among the stock raisers to hold their cattle until prices have reached a more desir able height. Wool, however, is bringing the highest price that has been paid for it for a period of twelve years and in consequence the clips of the entire county will 6 nil a ready market wkoee returns are gratifying to the sheepmen. That there should be such a wide variance between the pro portionate prices paid for these two principal products of the county is a matter which has caused no little discussion among the stockmen, when consideration it given the fact that the demand for both wool and beef ia about equal. The stock report from the eastern cattle centers show that week after week the supply ia not equal to the demand and yet this economic regulator of values does not seem to carry its weight when the selling price of Oregon beef is I take. For a War past there has been a decline in cattle prices and the outlook is only partially encouraging. On the other hand with the de mand practically the same as last year, with the exception of a slight increase in the exportation to foreign countries, the wool men are enjoying a period of unexpect ed prosperity. The market for their product ranges from 5 to 33$ per cent higher than last year or for a doien yeara preceding. Those familiar with the situa tion do not offer an explanation altogether satisfactory to the one on the losing side. That there has been an over stocking of the beef market is not a matter of as great moment as other causes which have led to the depreciation of cattle. For some time past the cattleman has faced a shortage of hav. Added to this were a few j more cattle than he could comfort ably handle with the products of his own rjastures and fields. The rise in hay, from an increasing demand, put the price of that com modity which he bought on the outside at a figure close to the bankrupt mark. A hard winter in the eastern uart of the state made the rise in hay general and conditions were about equal in all sections. The cattle buyer; wide awake to the situation looking for a good commission in his purchases and ready to squeeze when the op portunity offered, named his spring prices. The stockman after coming through a tight place needed money. He recognised that the market price was devoid of profit to himself and yet in many instances he was compelled to sell. The cattle buyer in turn has held down the price of stork and will hold it down until condi tions are more equalized and the cattle grower is in a position to do the dictating. His is a peculiar position and until he can see his way clear two years ahead he is at the mercy of the buyer of his product. the voters in any community is filed with the county clerk, he shall order an election to be held ! in the district In which the petition originated and that a majority vote shall decide whether the sale of liquors shall be permitted or denied. The law is not applicable to ilrug stores or the selling of liquors on prescriptions. The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November is the date set for the first election under the law, but it can be held only under proer petition as provided for in the act. After November local elections can be held only on the first Monday in June of each year. If no election is held in November on petition none can be held ex cept in each June thereafter. The act is one passed under the initiative and referendum amend ment to the constitution of the state and becomes a law as soon as the Secretary of State announces a majority vote on the question at the last election. Each locality in posts. A kerosene barrel aland-' ing in front of a grocery store was sucked out of the bung hole and j turned inside out.

Not so bad "Cope." The man who made a wager a few months ago that the Columbia Southern would lie in Crook coun ty before the close of the year is keeping very quiet and talking on other subjects than railroads. Only three weeks more before the democrats will meet in St. Louis to make their presidential nomination, adopt their platform and again make a run for the control of the national administra tion. Who their candidate will ' and rcad? 'or another attack. be and what their platform will embody are still matters of con jecture. It is conceded, however, that Parker at present is a strong er mop than Hearst and that it is more than likely he will secure the nomination. That much then is partially settled, but in the manu facture of a platform which will pass muster with the various branches of democracy, meet the approval of the entire democratic constituency and stand the wear and tear of another campaign without causing the bolt of another vinir frnm ihn nnrtr thfte are most anient ." uul' wiiguu uku The young lady of Lake county who secured $10,000 for a broken heart will probably have enough now to get the organ patched up With local option assured it is to be presumed that everybody will go dry except the cows.

Local option will become a law as soon as the majority vote which has been cast for it in this state has been recorded with the Secre tary of State. The provisions of the aet are similar to those in force in the state of Texas and the law rot, as has been generally supoe ed, a prohibitive measure. The sale of liquors, however, is left j safe to say that the leaders at the entirely with the voters of any St. Louis convention this year will p yen district or precinct and it formulate a platform with all the sanguine about solving satis factorily. It is not a matter to excite com ment that the democratic issues of 1896 and 1900 are dead. It would be more a matter of talk and criti cism if they were revived, for democracy itself ia tired of the man who nominated himself, dictated the principles of the plat form and four years later practical ly duplicated his acts. And this year Bryan, although not quite so prominent in democratic ranks, will in all probability dominate the St. Louis convention. Hie fallacies of '96 and 1900 will not be adhered to, but just how radical a departure will be made from the Kansas City platform is one of the things which is carrying with it an unsettled frame of mind. It is probable that the tariff will once more 1 brought before the public. That has been the carry all for democratic troubles fur a good many years. It is the only issue which has been able to with stand the wear, and with imperial ism, militarism, free silver and the cry against monopolies put back in the rear, the enticing features of the tariff issue can again lie brought forward with an unassum ing grace. But whether the party shall declare for a "revenue only" tariff, a reduction of present duties, or simply for incidental protection, are questions still to le handled.
