The success of Oregon in all the rar work is an example to the state 1 industrial development, and as the war is over, everyone is now looking to a better condition throughout the state In a business way. To this end there is a meeting cal led for December 12-13-14 In Port land, at which the development of Oregon will be discussed in a new light, and what will eventually ter minate in the reclamation of arid lands, logged off lands, and other lia bilities of the state, change them to real resources, will no doubt be start ed. People of the state at large are looking to the Prineville people, who bare succeeded in the building of their own railroad, and are bringing to Its completion one of the best irri gation projects in the west and are pointing to the local community as an example in what can and should be done with team work. It is true ot course that difficulties tiave been met and overcome, in se curing supplies and In financing but the local projects are now well pro Tided for, and the result is worth many times the cost and inconven ience that has been occasioned in the stress ot development, After all, nothing is worth while it it can be secured without effort and without price. The trials and in conveniences that we have met have -only taught us our strength, and while Prineville will never be the old Prineville that was experienced twen ty year ago, it will be a much bigger nd better place, and the community surrounding It, which is far more im portant than the town itself, the town in every instance being incidental and not the main issue, is experiencing the great development that will force prosperity and expansion in the town proper. The same rule applies in a broader way to the relationship between Ore gon and its metropolis. , The fact is dawning on Portland rtoo, and a start is being made there -to get some real development under rway that will mean much to the state .and incidentally to the city. There is a real opportunity there, one that will mean a quickening of -the pulse of commerce, and the homes - for thousands, yes hundreds of thou- sands of people that are now living in over-crowded cities, and this is the .most importan thing ot all. Every wide awake community -should have a real live representa tive at Portland for the opening of the development meeting December 12, and most of all Prineville should be there with a man who can and will . give the community the representa Ttion it Justly deserves. Only by such cooperation can our lands be settled, our country improv ed, and our town made to grow. Let's don't overlook this opportunity. ! &sW t ABOUT PRICES A call made by Great Britain repre sentatives for 200 car loads or more f first class canned boods, in the op en market, means that there will be no slump in prices of those commod ities for a time at least. Conditions in the woolen and cot--ton trade reflect a very firm demand which will maintain prices in those lines at least. Relaxation of government control in many lines will cause some ad vancements, with possibly a few de clines in prices. The man who was looking for an immediate drop in prices when fighting stopped is look ing yet, and will perhaps continue to . do so for two years or until the na tions have time to adjust themselves FIXEST STOCK OF WEST NOW ON EXHIBITION International Stock Show At Stock Yards Opens With Number Of Thoroughbreds Entered "Prohahly due to the mildness of .'the winter on the Pacific Coast this year and last, the finest collection of stock exhibited for years is on dis i play at the Union stockyards in the . Pacific International Livestock expo sition which opened Monday morning nd will contnue five days. iFat cattle, hogs, and sheep from Oregon, Washington and Idaho farms are shown and a larger number of animals than for years comprise an Attractive exhibit. Judging of cattle, hogs and sheep began Monday afternoon at 2:30. Ed. ward Coles of Haines, Ore., is judge -of cattle, and A. R. Bohosky, presi . dent of the Northwest Sheep Co.. is Hogs Kept Under Conditions Her 8hown Are More 8uceptlble to Dis ease Than Those Kept Under Sani tary Conditions, Animals that show Indications of sick ness should be Immediately Isolated and the premises thoroughly disinfect ed. New hogs brought to the farm should be Isolated or quarantined for several days before they are permitted to run with the herd. Hogs, and especially young pigs, often suffer much from lice. When numerous, lice are serious drain on vitality, fattening Is prevented by them, and hogs so affected are very much more subject to disease. To eradicate lice, dip, spray, or rub bogs with crude oil, crude-oil emulsion, or kerosene-oil emulsion every ten days for three or four applications. A very troublesome affection with hogs. Is caused by a mite or parasite that pricks the skin of the bog to get tissue nuld. This Injury produces a red spot which finally results In a scale under which mites may be found. The symptoms are Itching followed by a loss of hair and thickening and cracking of the skin. Treat mange by applying lime sulphur or nicotine dip once every ten days for three dip pings. Hogs should be washed thor oughly with soap, water, and brush before dipping, to remove the scales. AGREEMENT BEFORE CHRISTMAS EXPECTED Paris. December It has been defin itely set aa the date on which ths preliminary conferences will begin be tween President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd George, Clenienceau and Or lando. The prsgram thus far developed warrants belief that the tour natUni represented by these men will agree upon the main points of peace before Christmas. The smaller aatlona are then expected te be consulted as to details. Cermasy will not be called on be fore late In January, It ts believed, and then only to hear the results of the allied-American deliberations, and te suggest modifications. The general feeling here is that once the allies and America have agreed on the main points, they will Impose the peace terms upon Germany with little discussion. YANKS CONTINUE ADVANCE PREVENTING RUNTS IN FALL Problem Confronts Every Producer of Pork Scrappers Should Be With Big Pigs. Preventing runts in fall litters of pigs is a problem that confronts every producer of pork. Establishing pens for pigs of the same size, not more than twenty to the pen, is necessary. Pronounced scrappers should be penned with larger pigs. It Is also de sirable that all the pigs should be eat ing well at weaning time. Grain, one pounds of middlings to ten pounds of milk, placed In a trough easily reached, will teach them to eat naturally. More grain Is added until the weaning time ration Is one pound middlings to three pounds milk. At two weeks after Karpagerskol Is Taken After a Fight With Bolsheviki. Archangel. The Russo-Americas forces, continuing their advance up the Piaega river ever ice and saow cevered roads, have captured the town ot Karpegorskol, 120 miles frost the ( town of Plnega, after a tight with the I Bolsheviki. Tbls place since the or- sanitation ot the new government of ! Archangel, was a Russo-allled pro vision depot, but it was raided and captured by the Bolsheviki and since then had been the scene of much par tisan fighting. A patrol of 70 Americans scouting along the Vago river south ot Shen kursk, encountered a ten-fold superior ! force of Bolsheviki, including cavalry and infantry with many machine guns. The Americans were surrounded, but fought their way out, losing a lieu tenant and 12 men killed. 'V ' rii'iiiNsJlBl il I , , -' " No Runts In This Bunch, weaning they shoi.Id be eating about five pounds for ei.ch hundred of live weight, when, If I asture is good, no further increase U necessary. The animals should be kept free from lice and worms. If this practice is followed few or no runts will occur. Clean Wallow Hole Important A clean wallow hole Is very Impor tant. Hogs may use the muddy wal low If no other Is available, but If clean water is provided in a concrete wallow they will prefer It to the mud-hole. Protection From Flies. Horses, mules and cows should be protected from flies as much as possi ble. Some of the prepared sprays on the market greatly help In doing this.
