OFFICIAL PAPER OF CROOK COUNTY.
THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1903.
Th Sumptfr Valley has cut
pome freieht rates, which is of
special interest to wool growers in
Grant, Harney, Crook and Malheur
counties. Fifteen cenU per hund
red pounds, from Tipton to Baker
City, is the new rate. This is a
cut from 40 cents and is an induce
ment which will certainly prove
attractive to the wool interests.
Wool can now come this way from
Crook county and save much ex
pense of shipping. Fifteen cents
per hundred pounds is no charge
at all and scarcely pays for hand
ling but the Sumpter Valley rail
road fc desirous of stimulating a
traffic and industry, that naturally
belongs to the road. All the wool
within a radius of one hundred
miles of Prairie City, can now
come this way cheaper than it can
go any other. Frairie City tfiner
Now that easten. Oregon has
been helped by the state in the
construction of the portage road,
let eastern Oregon help herself by
building her own boat lines for
the upper river. The same in
domitable spirit which organized
and carried to completion the
Open River association can organ
ize the farmers and build a line
of farmers' boats to handle the
1905 crop of wheat, bay and fruit
of the Inland Empire. Small
capital can reach this task. It
will not require a large capitaliz
ation to start a line of boats be
tween Lewistoa and the portage.
The farmers along the river can do
this. Aside from reducing freight
rates on products grown in the
Inland Empire such co-operative
boat line would yield a handsome
profit. If rail road? can make 500
per cent profit from Lewiston to
Portland, on the actual cost of
transporting freight, surely the co
operative line of boats can reduce
rates 400 per cent and then make
100 per cent profit for the promot
era of such an enterprise. East
Oregonian.
Following closely upon the alar
ming rumor that the Standard Oil
crowd had ambitions to control at
least 75.000 miles of railway in
this country, comes the preliminary
report of the interstate commerce
commission showing that in 1904
that body had been able to find but
209,000 miles of operating roads,
with subsidary lines of minor im
portance. The gross income of all
the roads reported on by the inter
state commerce commission was
$1,966,633,821, and th railway com
panies received as income from in
vestments in the securities of rail
way and other corporations, the
additional sum of $100,786,684,
bringing aggregate funds collected
by railway interests up to more
than $2,000,000,000 for the fiscal
year 1904.
One clique of financiers, dom
inated by less than a dozen men
is credited with aspiring to the ab
solute control of one-third of this
stupendous business. The trans
portation fate of a third of the
nation may soon repose in the
hands of John D. Rockefeller and
H. H. Rogers. This prospect is
forced upon the nation at a time
when Standard Oil methods, beef
trust policies, refrigerator car man
ipulation and countless other trust
workings are being held up to
public view. The nation knows
that this crowd does not hesitate to
kill opposition by means, lawful or
illegal. Every controlling law bo
far enacted to restrain their high
handed system of finance has been
evaded where possible, and often
openly violated until an outraged
public rose in wrath. -
Is the public in a mood to listen
to the argument of railway mag
nates that they alone should be
left to regulate rates, true to the
laws of competition and public
need, and that any effort on the
part of the public to establish rates
by law or through public comm
issions will inflict wrong upon
them? . f
There is constantly increasing
evidence that it is cot. Journal

If the statements of Mrs. Chad
wick before the bankruptcy court
at Cleveland can be taken as
truthful, they explain how this
remarkable financier was able to
influence bankers and moneyed
men and get large accommodation
with little security. She arpealed
to what she believed might be
their weakest trait personal
avarice, and in most instances the
appeal seems not to have been in
vain. When she wanted a large
sum of money she showed a wil
lingness to allow immense com
missions. The bait was tempting
and too frequently the fish was
landed. It was impossible to
resist the inclination to get so
large a rakeoff, and a number of
bankers and capitalists could not
refuse to help Mrs. Chadwick out
when they thought they were to
benefit so handsomely through the
transaction. Mrs. Chadwick al
leges that her indebtedness will
not exceed $750,000. Of this she
says she received 1517,000, while
$208,000 went for commissions.
One third of the amount loaned
she was willing to leave with the
bankers as a token of her high
appreciation of their kindness.
She availed herself of the latest
"get rich quick" device, and the
moneyed men proved as ready
suckers as the thousands who have
been buncoed by the alluring
offers of some of the rascally con
cerns shown up in the last few
years. It's the old scheme of
playing upon the cupidity of man
and Mrs. Chadwick made it work.
The extent of her operations may
not have been disclosed by her
own testimony, but enough is
known to show that in satisfying
her own lust for eold she made her
masterstrokes by appealing to the
same lust in others. Spokesman

Excellent Program Wat Rendered.
One of the most siiceewful of the
teachers' and parent' meetings was
held at the High School building last
Saturday afternoon and was well
attended. An excellent program of
addresses, recitations and Toeal
selections was given and thorough
ly enjoyed. The following program
took up the greater part of the
afternoon:
"Home Work and llome entertain
ment" Mrs. H. P. Kelknap
"How to Cultivate the Love of
Truth" Mrs. M. E. Brink
"Heredity," an allegory"

The meeting adjourned to meet
again the last Saturday in October.
Madras Pioneer Sold.
Timothy Brownhill, editor of the
Madras Pioneer, was in town on
ednesday, on his way to The
Dalles, where he will offer final proof
upon his homestead in the Agency
Plains country. Mr. Brownhill was
one of the Sherman county settlers
who lost their homesteads through
the decision sustaining the grant
of .The Dalles military wagon
road company. He had resided for
five years upon his Sherman county
homestead, and is now offering
proof under the Act of Congress
which allows credit to these settlers
for the time they had resided upon
their .Sherman county homesteads.
While here Mr. Brownhill closed a
deal with Max Luddemann for the
sale of the Mad run Pioneer. Ante

High Price for Sheep
The first sheep deal of the season
has just been eonsumated In this
country in which Judge Miller and
John Robinson purchased 4,000 head
of stock sheep from J. H. Ward pay
ing $:i.2 per head. The flock in
cludes 2,000 ewes of various ages,
quite a lot of wethers that will be
turned off for mutton and last year's
lambs.
This is certainly starting the mar
ket at a very satisfactory figure and
means a prosperous season for men
engaged in that buisness. The wool
market is strong and men who are
posted expect the price to advance
to 19 or 20 cents per pound before
this years' clip Is ready for shipment.
The rush of wool buyers into cen
tral Oregon last fall offering to con
tract this spring's clip at prices in
advance of that offered last season
at any time, was indicative of what
i could be expected. Burns Herald

but subsequent facts disproved his
statement ami ho was knifed lit all

The latter has had several head of
horses stolen during the past two
week and the evidence at hand tends
to show that Wright was ninktng a

Wright will le given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Lackey next
Saturday.
Wool Salt Dts, Jun 6 and 10.
A numlter of Stock men were In
towu tat Saturday, attending a
meeting of the Antelope Wool
Growers" Association which was
held at the club rooms. Among
other matters discussed by them
was that of adopting public wool
sale days for this season's clip,
aud June 6th and 20th were selected
for the sale of wool at Shanlko.
These dates vwlll be recommended
to the state association, for this
point, and unless there Is a conflict
with the dates at some other iolnt,
which Is unlikely, they will be
adopted.
The shearing season llng close at
baud, there wns also some discus
sion of the prices which should pre
vail this year, and by a resolution
of the association Its members
agree to pay the same prices this
year which prevailed last season.
These are 6 cents for ewes and
yearllugs, and 7 cents for two-year-old
weathers and upward.
The association will, for the bene
fit of its members who have sold
sheep for shipment, make Inquiry
into the federal requirements as to
dipping and Inspection of stock
before shipping from the state.
The Secretary, Mr. Rooper, is In
correspondence with Dr. Hutchin

Manager Lester sent over the line
np of the Bend team yesterday and
If the weather penults the ball sea
son will be opened with the initial
contest ls?tween Bend and Frineville
on the local diamond next Sunday
afternoon. The line up of the two
teams will be as follows:
Bend Prineville
Welder c Ford
Bilyeu p Bailey
W. Brock lb Englehardt
Becker 2b Jordan
Kiddle 3b Ellefson
Lee bs Bowen
C Brock If Steffa
Zeberly cf Rosenberg
E Brock rf Peaks
Suettlnger
Bend starts the season this vear
with a strong aggregation of ball
tessera, the battery being composed
of two of the best horse hide manipu
lators in the county. Bilyeu is a
coast leaguer and is said to have an
assortment of curves that makes a
creepy feeling take hold any ordluary
player. Wleder, who will support
him behind the bat, is a clever back
stop and played In excellent form in
both games lust year against the
locals. Aside from these two, both
the Infield and outfield are well cared
for, several new players of proven
worth having been added this sea
son to the fold.
On the other hand the Prineville
team will go after their opponents
with the confidence born of an 800
per cent standing with which it
closed last season after a long list
of victories. But few changes have
been made In the line up and In these
few instances strength has leen
added, So the contest between the
two will without doubt be spirited,
full of ginger and withal a good
stubborn exhibition while It lasts
