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."

The badly decompoaed body of

lonely cabin ten milea west of thia

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.

it will be, the company will build
a pipe line from the wells to tide

thus ueine the gravity system in
getting their'product to market.
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

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.

Lave responded liberally to an ap
