WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
' million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) a shown by the pay rolls

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service-(less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employes' representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an .
investigation under the Gov
ernment determine this issue?

HATS OFF TO THE FARMER
The poor farmer! liny, soiling
now at $15 per ton in Redmond for
shipment to the mills tit Bond and
jthj largest crop of hay on record.
I Wheat, prophets on such matters
j say, should start at near $1 this
j fall and Central Oregon will raise
more bushels or wheat this year
than ever before by 40 percent it is
claimed by some of the men who
are raising it.
Potatoes, crop good, acreage
smaller than usual but' yet quite
large, and the market to be very
good indeed.
And the livestock part of the
farm is looking up too. Cream is
selling at a good price this year,
and everyone is getting more to
sell because of the late rains and
good pastures for the cows.
There are fewer hogs than
formerly, but the market is good
for all that will be sold.
Sheep are getting so high that
one cannot mention them without
a feeling of luxury, .high power
automobiles and other such things.
Wool is selling at an average rough
ly of 25 cents per pound, and a
young ewe that is of any recog
nized breed at all is worth well,
say about $10 per head just for
even change, and a spring lamb,
one that saw the light of day for
the first time in April of this, the
current year mind you, 1916 if you
please, is being now mentioned and
sold at figures around $4.50 per
head, we are told, in the country
south of Prineville, delivery at
weaning time this autumn. ,
Caltle are good too. A beef
steer is $100 if he is in eatable con
dition. Five of them will buy a
Ford! And at less than three
years old too. (The steer, not the
Ford.) Cows are of equal or
greater value, depending oj thp
age or breed.
Horses which three years ago
were really worth about six bits a
dozen are all good property, and
an animal that is of age, size and
condition to go to war is worth as
much as a beef steer.
There is but one type of farmer
that can complain about the out
look. He is the man that has noth
ing to sell, and to be plain in the
matter, he is no farmer at all.
Good days are here for the farmer
which means that everyone will
be benefitted for the farmer is the
balance wheel of the nation.

outlet to this town, the Boar Creek
road down Juniper canyon. This
road is at this time in a dangerous
and very unsatisfactory condition.
Not a large expenditure of funds
is necessary, but a small amount of
actual labor in an intelligent man
ner. Another place that needs atten
tion, has needed it for years is on
the road between W. W. Brown's
home place on Buck Creek and
Paulina. There are two short
pieces of road, both of which could
be made very good by a small
amount of money, which are now
and very often are very bad.
It is a safe assertion that a large
amount of business and automobile
traffic is lost to Prineville because
of this littlt piece of bad road.
These are matters that are worthy
of the attention of the Commercial
Club.

THE TOWN AND COUNTRY.
.There is too much talk and too
little actual effort as a rule toward
getting real co-operative work be
tween the towns and their tributary
country.
James J. Hill waj one of the
most successful men of his age be
cause of his farsightedness in build
ing up the country ' districts and
leaving the towns to shift for them
selves, which is the ci.rrect pro
cedure, to which the success of his
various enterprises are strong testi
monials, i.-h
Any town, especially an inland
town, is just so good as the country
that supports it or should support
it is good.
Territory that is actually tribu
tary to a town as a trading center
should be cared for in various ways
by that center, in such a manner
that the business that is actually
there is secured to the business
houses of the towm
This is made possible by the
building of roads and the develop
ment of channels of communication
and transportation. One of the
most valuable communities' to
Prineville is that which has for its
