- AS OPPORTUNITY.
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.

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.

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.

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.
ARMY'S COST IS ENORMOUS
More Than Five Billion Dollar Ex
pended in Year,
Washington. It cost $5,645,000,000
to run the Americas army during tha
year ending June 30 last; $1,368,000,

$111,000,000 was paid out in pensions.
These figures are shown by the
