COOD OBJECT LESSON IN TYPES SWwllrBi, Hmttmi; Darluat, imy tmi MMfTtli Ct tk T,tm R.lMH RtMllt Qdill DtffWMl. No better object lesson in the value of different breeds of cattle for berf-producing qualities could bo found than a visit to the feed Ing grounds of John 10. Ryan on the M. 1). 1'owell place on the Mo Kay. Mr. Ryan hna about 200 head of U-ef cattle that he ha wintered there, lie has other cat tie, IhhIi here and elsewhere, but it ia of the beef atock we write. Thia 200 head ia made up largely of Hereford and Shorthorns, and a croea between the two, with tome Jersey and a few mongrel. "In buying," aaid Mr. Ityan, "it ia sometime . Decennary to take a few head of scrub in order to com pute a deal, but aa a rulu I refuse to handle anything but the beet type of cattle." "You can tee at a glance what animal furniwh the most high priced cut and those that produce the low grade, or cheap meats. That steer yonder,"aaid Mr. Ryan, Indicating the direction of the ani mal by a aweep of the hand, "ia a crofa between a Shorthorn and a Hereford. That ia my favorite type, lie hna eixe and quality and ia endowed with vigoroua con atitution. He ia a good feeder and carrie'a the meat where it ia worth something. Ilia buck and riba are thickly and evenly covered with firm yet mellow flesh of uniform quality. Now, lake a look at that mongrel over there. It ia of the common range variety and ia typi cal of ita clu.ua. It geta the aame feed aa the blooded atock but look at ita, appearance. You cannot hide that bucklmne and riba no matter how much you feed it. It geta heavier lower down where the cut are cheap, or putt on tallow that ia not worth much. Mind you, the men we aell to are ahrewd fellow that cau tell at a glance how much and just what kind of meat a steer or a bunch of steers will cut out, and if the producer overlook any of the eenential point he ia compelled to bear the Ion TIiun, you we, in addition to securing the generul lwf form and make-up, together with good back, riba and loin, there ia a certain quality, character and atyle that oonatitutu an imiortanl factor in determining the value of beef cat tle. I will put the few head of mongrel in with the rent, but if there were many of them it would make a big difference in the price I would get for my atock. I have been feeding them a mixed ration of wheat hay, alfaa and wild hay and have got good results. My cattle are in prime condition and are now ready for the market. We will probably drive to Bhaniko in a week or two." JOHN H.

Tho body was found in Lis bed covered with a pair of blanket. He had apparently retired for the night, had removed his clotbea ac usual and waa dressed in a night whirl. A bottle Waring a lauda num label was on a stand within easy reach, with a little of its con tents left, showing that at least two ounces of laudanum must have been swallowed. The body waa in a natural pose, one hand beneath the pillow, the other at the face, showing that he had died without a struggle. The body waa in such a condition that it waa impossible to move it so a grave was dug in the dooryard to receive it. All indicationa showed that the man had been dead tor some time, perhapa ten days. Deputy Sheriff Jones was there ten days prior to the time the discovery was made and left the old gentleman in good health but he says that he thinks only one meal had been prepared in the cabin since then. A horse that was left tied in the stable near by waa in a most piti ful condition, showing that it had been without food and water for some time. last service new The Presbyterian church filled to its utmost capacity Sunday evening, the first since the refurnishing.

Good indications that the coun try from Prineville's city limits to and beyond Madras is an oil region exist, and have been known to many for years. In several places where wells have been drilled for water, peculiar forma tions have been brought to light, which have puzzled the farmers, but all of which are said to be in dicative of the presence of oil, and are so recognized by people famil iar with an oil country. Some springs and wells in this part of the country are said to be so strongly "flavored" with oil that horses do not like to drink the no doubt, have oil formation. Not the least interesting feature of the prospecting operations in this county is the fact that the region to be prospected contains hidden streams of water, and if EjJ wells are drilled to a depth of from Jj J 1000 to 2000 feet, as is now the LJ tilnn nf iha rnmnAnv RnmA nf thpsft ri r - r ji L'J LJ I ha fanner) anil th rpsnlt. will be nn " fri - LJ r,.i J for water ia all that is needed to t J make the Havstack rjlains a " veritable garden-spot LJ nn LJ r.n L'J cn LJ r.n LJ nn L J 3 water, and these, l j tneir sources in an LJ en nn LJ F.3 LJ nn L J nn Portland, Or., Mar. 23 In vir tually conceding the nomination of II. M. Cake, the Telegram says. in part: Attracting crowds that numerically have been a great surprise to everyone, II. M. Cake is touring the state in behalf of his candidacy for the republication nomination for United States Sena Mr. Cake began his tour two weeks ago and has spoken practi cally every night since that time. Mr. Cake made many warm friends and a large following during his campaign two years ago when he lost the nomination for senator by very narrow margin. These friends and others who have ralli ed to his standard during the in tervening period, are succeeding in creating real enthusiasm for the arpirsct as be tours the state. At every town in which be has spoken. be has been heartily received and his addresses have been heard by crowds greater by far than usually gather to hear a political address. Mr. Cake is an able speaker, forceful in delivery and wonder fully clear in expression. His talks are unique in that they differ so widely from a political ha rangue. He assails no one, nor does he resort to crimination of any kind. lie tells what he has to say in a clear logical way, a way that appeals strongly to the people. In each of Mr. Cake's addresses, he has urgently insisted upon the republicans of Oregon remaining loval to their party: fealty to party, he says, is all that is neces sary for republicans to continue in tbe ascendency in this state. He is an ardent admirer of President Roosevelt, and every address has maintained that it is to the best interests to not only the entire people, but the people of Oregon particularly, that the president's policies be maintained. He is strongly in favor of the 'reclama tion work that is being done throughout the state by the present administration. It should be con tinued without abatement he in sists, and he also urges that ample appropriations should be made for the rivers and harbors of this state. The Willamette he contends, should be open to commerce as far a the possible bead of navigation. One feature of Mr. Cake's ad dress that invariably appeals strongly to his hearers, is his position with reference to the election of United States senators. Mr. Cake believes in the people and consequently believeH in the election of senators by the people. He declares that if elected, he will support a federal amendment pro viding for the popular election of United States senators. In this connection he recites the history of the people to achieve this end. For years and years various efforts have been made by tbe people to elect their own senators, and be hows that there ia a provision in the Constitution at this time for so doing. This subject, however, according to Mr. Cake, is not the overshad owing feature ot the campaign. The election of United States sen ators by the people must prevail eventually, but the needs of Ore gon and the maintenance of repub lican principles, should be the topic instead. Mr. Cake's itinerary includes practically the entire state. Local machine politicians who pro fessed to have little faith in his chances for success, are now thoroughly alarmed. They see in the hrge crowds that are flocking to hear Mr. Cake's addresses and in the attitudes of the different newspapers throughout the state favoring Mr.'Cake, a menace to the old system which they hope to perpetuate. C 1. B. Notes. All who have been along the northeast bank of Crooked River from Opal Springs to the very mouth of the river below the Boegli fruit farm have been im pressed by the large Btreams of pure water that pour out of the mountain side, and have their source under tho plain that is so badly in need of an abundant supply of good surface water.
