J. C. Houston returned the first
of the week from Shaniko, where
he had been to deliver cattle. He
made the trip to the railroad in
good ehBpe, the cattle, apparently
being in as good condition, if not
better, than when he started on
the drive. His beef averaged 1010,
for which he received 3 cents
pound. Mr. Houston was well
satisfied with his returns. The
buyer expected prices to go still
higher.

Ever since control of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company
passed out of the hands of Port-
land men, it has been impossible
to induce its management to open
up any new territory until the
approach of a possible competitor
forced it to act. As there seems
to be small hope of any immediate
change in this policy, the enter-
