at this meeting and It was found from
the reports of members from differ
ent region that some growers wore
paying herder $100 per month and
better, and others were getting men
for 170 snd 875. No action was tak
en on this Important quoatlon, but It

growers' Association were Instructed
to meet with the supervisor of the
Ochoco National Forest for the pur
pose of effecting a rearrangement of
ine lines noiweun tlic cattlemen and,
the sheepmen In the Ochoco forest. '
These lines were drawn In 1914, and'
the sheepmen feel that the linns are!
no longer equitable. An effort will i
also be made to get the supervisor to'
attend the January meeting of the-
B """growers- Association In Mitch
ell, so that members may register
complaints with him thore.
The organization Is widely repre
sentative, and Includes members us
ing the Ochoco National Forest In
Wheeler, Crook, Wusco, Grant, and
Jefferson counties. Membors of the
Association attending the meeting
In Mitchell own In the neighborhood
of 45,000 sheep of the value of a
half-million dollars.

Iiathy and sterling Integrity. She was
a leader In the religious life of the

even In the Ukraine, with stores accu

In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as

The changes In the administration
about the court house were but slight
this year.
John Combs was given the oath of
office as sheriff Monday morning and
took off his coat and went to work,
having served years ago as sheriff
and several more recent terms as dep
uty, the work was natural for him,
and he already seems a part of the
office.
His chief deputy is F. A. Rowell,
who has served in that capacity for
ex-Sheriff Knox for the past four
years, and the affairs of the sheriff's
office will proceed without a ripple.
Judge Wallace was given the oath
of that office for the next six years
as county judge, and Commissioner
H. J. Lister was sworn in for the next
four years as successor to himself,
both on Saturday.
Warren Brown took the oath of
office for county clerk on Monday,
and A. R. Bowman succeeded Ralph.
Jordan as treasurer the first nf tha
week. Mr. Jordan has been treasur
er for the past ten years, always gave
first class service, and was not a can

Mr. Bowman is well qualified for
the position and will be a good official.

Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula
tion Is falling each week as hunger
takes Its toll, and In Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine Is near. Al
though starvation Is not yet Imminent
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur
key are in the throes of serious strin
gencies. In order to fulfill America's pledge
tn world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
dled through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 20,000,000
tons compared with 6,000,000 tons pre
war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex
ported last year, when we were hound

If we fall to lighten the black snots

portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled

inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts of

"The people of this community da
not realize what Is in store for them,
and just what should be done to as
sist in this development," he con
tinued. "I live less than 300 miles
from Prineville, and know a number
of the most prominent business peo
ple of your town quite well, yet I
had no idea that you had a million
dollar irrigation project so well ad-'
vanced, and that the quality of land
it covers was such as you have here. .

selling readily as high as $300 and is
worth every cent of it.
Candidly, I believe the community
needs a good man's-sized dose of
printer's ink. Not a propaganda that
is untrue or boastful, but a simple
statement of facts, given to the press
throughout the country, and in such,
a way that it will be news to the peo
ple who are looking for just such a
community as you have here for a "
home.
"It is impossible to realize the situ
ation in the Prineville country with
out having visited here, and I will .
watch the future growth of the towa
and its surrounding country with
great interest.
"The buildings and the business
places, the attitude ot your business
people and the manner in which they
conduct their affairs shows that they
have prepared the foundations better
for a city than they realize them
selves. ,
"Your railroad project, your irriga
tion and the possible development ot
timber intrests here show a great
er spirit of development than many
larger towns can boast of, while it
has never been equaled in a commun
ity ot this size even in peace times,
to my knowledge.
"The close of the war makes pos
sible many things for Prineville that
could not have been accomplished be-
fore, and the demand for just such
lands as vou have here at reason
able- figures is indeed great.
A development mat will mean
great things for Pi'inev.'lle should be

Mr. Rowland left this afternoon for

are just getting under operation, and
are promising great development for
his concern.
