CROOK COUNTY
LIVESTOCK
Advent of Railroad a
Great Boon.
CATTLE MARKET STR0NC
One
Firm Pays Out Quarter
Million in Past Six
, Months.
Crook county, because ol its
topography, is a grest country for
the successful production of live
stock, and although the numbers
have been decreasing steadily for
the paat several years the impor
tance of the industry to the com
munity is increasing in no uncer
tain way.
The matter of finishing cattle,
sheep and hogs for the Portland
and Sound markets baa been a
difficult one.for the reason that the
drive from the points near Prine
ville, where the best feeding con
ditions prevail, to the Shaniko
railway shipping station, was one
that always caused a heavy ex
pense and a shrinkage of not
than $5 per head for steers. The
marketing of mutton and pork
during the winter months has not
been attempted to any great ex
tent for the same reason.
ith the advent of railroads in
Crook county things will change.
Within a month the Oregon Trunk
will he receiving livestock ship
ments from Madras, then the mat
.. . . .
ter of shrinkage
will be almost
eliminated.
These new conditions will .make
possible the matter of finishing
stock so that they will top the
market at all times, and hence
will develop a repntation for
Crook county stuff that will insure
the. top prices for cattle, sheep and
hogs.
Under the old regime, the mat
ter of market for beef has been a
hard problem for the cattleman.
For year's the market was con
trolled by the Union Meat com
pany and naturally it was not the
best for the producer. During the
fall of 1909, however, buyers from
Puget Sound markets entered the
field and purchaped many feeders
and the present year the Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger Company, ope
rating through their buyer, II. II,
Cofoid, have held the field against
all corners. These people have es'
tablished a reputation for fair
dealing. They have filled every
want of the producers here bo far
as we have been able to learn.
Schwaizschild & Sulzberger Co.
have packing plants in many of
the larger cities of the West, and
have shipped from Crook county
alone to their Portland plant since
Auaust 15. 1910. more than 5000
head ot cattle, for which they have
paid a total of more than a quarter
of a million dollars.
The territory covered, as Mr
Cofoid puts it, reaches from Ante
lope to Kosland and from Summit
Prairie to lUack Butte.
The prices per head reached as
high as $56 per head for cattle off
the range, and the present price
for beef that have been fed thus
far through the winter is $65 wilh
prospects that the market will ad
vance.
These people have fed tome 1000
head of cattle in this immediate
vicinity and some 400 head of
Crook county cattle at Tygh Val'
ley. Most of the cattle have been
r 'ceived in the pastures, but many
deliveries have been made at
Tr neville. A total of over $20,
000 has been paid by this firm to
local people for hay ani pasture
during this time.

proved at thla writing.
W. R. Weld man. chief engineer for
Mo)eky, the bridge contractor of
Chicago, who has charge of the big
bridge across Crooked River at this
place, arrived Wednesday from Port-
laud to look after the work for
awhile. They have just Installed a
25-horee steam boiler and engine for
holatlng purposes. The gas engine,
which was first used was entirely
too light for the work.
A. H. Page, surveyor for the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation Co., !s here
with a crew of men subdividing land
for that company,
Little Gerald Davidson, 4-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Davidson
took as exciting ride on Wednesday
laat, when the team became frighten
ed and ran away with no one in the
wagon but little Gerald. After
running about a mile and through
two wire fences and an Irrigating
ditch, they were stopped with no
one hurt, but every one who saw U
were badly frightened. No damage
was done to the team or wagon.
The Pioneer Ladies' Club met with
Mra. O. Swauson last Wednesday
afteruoon. The ladies tied a com
forter for Mrs. Swanson and after a
dainty lunch they adjourned, feeling
that some good had been accom
pllshed as well ns having spent a
most eujoyable afternoon.
The Bachelor Boys entertained
their relatives at dinner Sunday, 21
guests being present. Now, young
ladies ot this community, or any
other community, who are of a
marriageable age, here are four
young men, single, ludustroiis, good
ooks and good foragers, take ad
vantage of this, maybe the only op
portunity of the kind you will ever
have to get such a man. They are
all on the market. Better Investi
gate.
Hillman now has a brass band of
U pieces. The boys received their
instruments last week and began
practicing at once. It is needless to
eay that the air was filled with all
kinds of discordant noises as the
boys proceeded to put great holes
Into tne atmospliere, but we are
glad to say that they are showing
much improvement and will soon le
able to hold their own with any
other organization of the kind in
this part ot the state,
All Work Guaranteed.
Have your children's eyes examined
If they are going to school, they are
using their eyes all the time. If the
eves are sore, rod and painful, if tliev

feeling in the eyes, or have pains over
the eyes, it is a sure thing that they
need "attention. I tit glasses and fully
