BY ADDISOX BENNETT.
OX the morning: of Sunday, Septem
ber -3, William Pollman, presi
dent of the Oregon Cattle and
I-forste Raisers Association. accom
panied by the secretary, S. O. Correll,
and several members and friends left
Baker for a tour of Central Oregon, the
party occupying four automobiles. The
party complete was composed of the
following persons: "William Tollman,
linker; S. O. Correll, Baker; William
a light ry (vice-president ). North Port
land; William Duby (treasurer). Baker;
Alpha Christ ly. Baker; Frank Kliiott,
Bridgeport; Henry Santemeyer, Baker;
N M. JElliott. Baker; Thomas Kerfoot.
Jiaker; Addison Bennett. Portland;
John Kennedy, Portland: Thomas
lx?gan, Urogan. and Senator Walter M.
Pierce. La Grande. The party was
advertised to leave Baker at i o'clock
on the morning specified, but during
the night it rained very ha rd. the
downpour commencing the evening be
fore. The members assembled in the
lobby of the Reiser Grand Hotel at 4:30,
but each one was confident that no
tt tart would be made through the rain
and the mud. However, we started
at S o'clock, the party of 13 occupy
ing four machines.
It is said to be 90 miles from Baker
to Canyon City and the road leads over
three mountain ranges, the summit of
one being 6000 feet. The road is fair
as mountain roads go. but as the rain
continued to pour down we traveled
almost continuously through water and
mud. The water did not bother, but
the mud d:d. and on some of the steep
er - grades it was a case of all hand3
pushing and pulling. However, we
Icept moving and before noon we were
at Sumpter, where we telephoned to
Mrs. Austin, at the town of Austin, to
have dinner ready for u?.
Old Town Ma of Rnln.
"But a word about Sumpter. Practi
cally everybody in Oregon knows that
'Sumpter burned" several months ago.
Tet but few know the extent of the
loss by the Sumpter fire. Most of the
buildings before the fire were of brick
or stone, but when the fire started in
the middle of the afternoon it made a
clean sweep of every business house in
town every last one. In addition to
that it took more than half of the
dwellings, thus leaving Sumpter merely
a. city of chimneys and tottering brick
and fatone walls. The reader will think

he can imagine what the disaster was,
but he can't; no person can imagine
such a wreck as Sumpter is; one must
see it to realize the work the conflag
ration accomplished.
A little before 2 o'clock we were
sitting before a roaring open fire in
the hospitable parlor of Mrs. Austin,
with our coats and wraps steaming on
chairs and lounges around the room.
Iinner was called and you who have
been fortunate enough to get your feet
tinder Mrs. Austin's- table know we i
had a good meal. Many of us had par-
taken of her hospitality in Winter and
Summer, Spring and Fall, in rough
weather and in the bright sunshine
but always there was an abundance of
food well cooked and daintily served.
Always. If anybody ever left the table
of Mrs. Austin dissatisfied then that
person's stomach needs repairs and
needg them badly.
Dixie Mountain Sea of Mud.
We did not tarry long, but were soon
plunging over Dixie Mountain in a
sea of mud. But we made good head
way and before 5 o'clock we were at
Prairie City. We did not halt, but
turned down across Dixie Canyon, up
which t he "city" of Dixie stood and
where Joaquin Miller was once justice
of the peace, down the John Day River
and valley, across the river and
through the town of John Day and up
Canyon Creek to Canyon City! Gee,
but the Beggs Hotel looked inviting!
It was 5 o'clock of a Sunday evening,
but we were expected and Landlord
Beggs had a roaring fire and a fine
dinner awaiting us with a few score
of the townspeople also there to greet
us.
Here we found awaiting us George
Clark, president of the Grant County
branch of the association, and J. E.
Snow, its secretary. It may be perti
nent at this point to mention that the
association has a number of branches
ri the- interior of the state and it is
the intention of the officials to have
many more throughout the range
country. Indeed, one of the principal
aims of the trip was to stir up suf-'
fieient enthusiasm and get enough rat
tle owners interested so that there
miclu be a network of affiliated asso
ciations all over Eastern and Central
Oregon.
The meeting was held in the Court
house after we had partaken of a fine
dinner at the Beggs. with "Joe Beggs

n
sumption of the good things he had
provided. As to the meeting, it was
like all the others and the details
would be of little interest to the gen
eral reader. Each meeting was sup
posed to be a continuation of the an
nual meeting, so the secretary read
the minutes of that meeting, gave the
report of the secretary and treasurer,
went into details as to the expenditures
gave a general resume of the work
accomplished during the past year.
Then came resolutions and the debates
thereon and finally the address of
President Pollman.
Senator Pierce Principal Speaker.
As to the general speakers. Senator
Pierce was the princioal orator. Every
body who has listened to Walter knows
that lie is a fluent and convincing
speaker if you can just keep him away
from politics, and as there are no poli
tics in the association we had some
mighty fine talks from Walter. Of
course, he was was hard on the eagle
bird and hard on the vaulted heavens,
for more than once he plucked every
tail feather out of the bird of freedom
and snatched down stars by the ten
thousand. Yes, Walter is a flowery
speaker but, withal, a mighty fine man
and a loyal member of the cattlemen's
association.
After the meeting adjourned th
members and their friends were in
vited to a banquet given at the city
community house. This was a very
fine affair, so fine Uia: the eating of
the good things and th flood of ora
tory kept up until after i o cio'tk. It
was sure mighty fine if the Canyon
people to treat the party so loyally.
But it might be expected from the big
hearted people of that historic litt'e
city, which is the capital of Grant
County.
Start Is Early.
We .left Canyon at 7:10 Monday
morning still through a drizzle and
mud galore. Up the steep grade of
Canyon Creek, across Bear Valley,
down the Silvies River, through Sit vies
Valley, across the hill and down Devina
Ridge to Harney Valley, and thence to
Bu rns. where we unloaded at 1 P. M.
making the SO miles in a rifle Itrss.
than six hours. Here we were met and
welcomed by William Han ley, P. C.
Smith and other Harney stockmen, as
well as a large delegation of the citi
zens of Burns.
After getting settled at the Hotel
Levens we were invited to partake of a
fine lunch given by the stockmen of
Harney County, P. C. Smith acting as
master of ceremonies. There w us no
time for speaking, as the meeting was
advertised for 3 o'clock. After the
meeting the entire party was escorted
out to the Bell-A ranch tf William
Hanley, where we were welcomed by
Mrs. Hanley, and in duj season w?re
seated at the boundless table of the
Bell-A and partook of one of Mrs. Han
ley's famous dinners. And any person
who has ever visited the Bell-A when
Mrs. Haney was at home will recall
those fine Mary land biscuits, that great
rib of roast beef, that splendid coffee,
the preserves and conserves, the vege
tables cooked to a turn and only as a
famous housewife knows how to cook
them the pies and cakes, but above
all and over all, the mirth, the jollity,
the good-fellowsfiip of the host aiiu
hostess and the guests.
We were joined the next morning.
Tuesday, by Albert Hawkins, of Tae
Oregonian, and Mr. Hanley and at 7:10
we were off for Lake view, 155 mixes
away. We went via the Double O
ranch of the William Hanley Company
and stopped there to visit Miss Martha
Hanley and Mrs. Campbell and, of
course, we had to partake of their hos
pitality. We had coffee and hot bis
cuits, sandwiches, preserves a lot of
things tastily served. We sure enjoyed
the forenoon spread and were only
sorry the time was so short that we
spent there.
Toothitcfme Spread Enjoyed.
Then away around past Iron Moun
tain, past Mule Spring and finally over
into Warner Valley, down to Plush, at
the north end of Warner Lake, then
across the hills to Lakeview. But stop!
I must not forget the famous lunch we
had on the alkali flats- of Warner Val
ley, a famous- lunch served from the
"Pollman Car." Billy laid in a great
supply of eatables or edibles, put up in
cans such as baked beans, fine cheese,
bologna, crackers, bread and butter,
salmon, beef, corned beef about all of
the nice things he could pack in the
great box anchored to the running:
board.
In spite of the late start, the stop for
lunch, and a further stop for fjrasolinu
at Plush, we made the 155 miles to
Lakeview by 5:10. being only 10 hours
on the trip. But the road is very good
most all the way, the worst part of it
being over some stony ground between
Plush and Lakeview.
Here we were joined by George H.
Russell, of Prineville, first vice-president
of the association; Raymond Cala
van, of Prineville; Charles Pitchu. of
Silver Lake; Jim Small, of Silver Lake;
and Jay Upton, of Prineville. We put
up at the Hotel Lakeview, conducted by
F. P. Light, and surely Landlord Lirht
did his utmost to make our visit pleas
ant. We got only the best of service
and attention and will long remember
Mr. Light and hia hotel.
The meeting at Lakeview was held in
the Courthouse and' was largely at
tended and the speaking was excellent.
A good many members were taken in
here. Perhaps an "object lesson." 1 1
-head of stolen cattle with the brands
worked over, that the Sheriff brought
in to show us, had its effect.
Beer Enliven Ilanquet.
Wednesday we put in in going over
Goose Lake Valley. The party was di
vided up, some going down th s west
side and some the east side of .he lake,
getting well down into the wet state oi
California. But for the benefit of those
who wish to get their feet up against
a brass rail once more, let me say that
Modoc County, south of Lakeview, is a
dry county, as dry as Oreaon, even if it
is in California. It is over 40 miles to
the brass railing town of Fort Bidwell,
and far be it from any of our party
that we would go or even send that or
any distance to get liquor into dry Ore
gon. But we did get a little taste of
wetness. Wednesday night the Lake
view people took us down to the Fair
port Inn, which is just across the line
in California. Here liquor cannot be
sold, but can be served with meals by
the guests themselves so we had a
real-sure-to-goodness banquet, with 84
bottles of blue ribbon beer, all the way
from St. Louis. That was little enough
considering there were over 40 guests
and yet we did not drink all of it. and
1 guess no one was any the worse for it
while it enlivened the oratory to boat
the band. Every guest made either a
speech, a talk or an alleged speech.
Anyhow, Dr. Daily, the toastmaster,
gave everybody a chance and every fel
low responded.
During the afternoon before the ban
quet the party went down the west
side of the lake to the ranch of F. J.
Hanson. His house is just across the
line in California, but the most of his
3200-acre ranch is in Oregon. He runs
sheep and cattle. He has a beautiful
place in the valley, mostly under ditch,
and has a pasture of 17 sections under
fence in the hills adjacent. The ranch
house is 22 miles from Lakeview. Mr.
Hanson has developed this place from a
run-down ranch, unwatered, and now
has one of the finest places we saw on
the trip. Some of his land is above the
ditch, but he intends to bring -water on
this from the adjacent hills in ditches
of his own.
Hookworm in Goone Valley.
On this trip we passed over a large
part of Goose Valley and there saw
some of the plainest marks of the hook
worm existing in Oregon. This valley
contains about 60,000 acres of rich land
that will bring four tons of barley or
wheat and afford three or four months
of fine pasture every year. About 52,
900 acres of it is subject to irrigation
and about 5000 is irrigated; yet the
irrigation system is completed and the
reservoir has 70,000 acre-feet of water
stored in it ready for use. All that is
necessary is for the land owners to
agree to pay $30 in 10 years for the
water and $1 a year maintenance and
only a tenth part of them will do it.
We saw one patch of oats. 30 acres,
that had no water until July 7 last.
Bill Daughtry, Walter Pierce and oth
ers of the party walked through this
field and their heads only showed. They
calculated that 2500 bushels would be
an underestimate for the crop, or say
$150o for the crop. Now, listen just
across the road is a well-fenced field
of 80 acres, with a ditch all along the
upper side of it ready to turn the water
on. and this 80 is going begging for
$1600, or $20 an acre. Did you suppose
there was such a bargain in Oregon?
Y ell, there are lots of them in Goose
Lake Valley, lands like the oat field
that will almost pay for the land and
water the first year.
The next morning, bright and early.
we left Lakeview and went to Bly, 49
miles to the west. Bly lies in the
Sprague River Valley, a stream that
flows into Upper Klamath Lake not
far from Fort Klamath. Bly is about
200 feet higher than Lakeview, which
is 4500. It is a fine valley and pro
duces much hay and alfalfa. The peo
ple all seem prosperous thereabouts.
"and we had a good meeting. From
there we went to Klamath Falls, 60
miles, and were at the White Pelican
Inn in time for a fine supper. We were
very much put out here, because Mr.
Hanley was compelled to leave us for
Portland. We remained all night at
Klamath Falls and met a great many of
the good people of that place.
Wood Valley ProsperoDR.
The next forenoon, Saturday, the
29th, we drove north up along the east
ern edge of Klamath Lake, 40 miles to
Fort Klamath, where we had a good
dinner at the Klamath House, and had
a good meeting. After the meeting we
took a turn around the valley Wood
River Valley, it Is called. It is given
up mostly to hay, alfalfa, alsike and
grain mostly hay but they grow the
finest and cleanest alsike there that Is
grown in Oregon. I have said before
in The Oregonian thct thia is one of the
finest valleys in Oregon and its people
the most prosperous. I now say it again
and can prove it by Bill Daughtry,

Saturday evening we made the lovely
drive of 43 miles to Crater Lake. We
telephoned ahead and found Landlord
Parkhurst all packed up and ready to
leave. But Secretary Correll agreed
to take up some chickens and other
supplies, so they remained over and we
spent Saturday night there, and had a
good time. Just at the last moment
about 30 other guests arrived unan
nounced, so we had quite a party,
which wound up in a real old country
dance along about midnight.
I am not going to say a word about
Crater Lake further than to remind
the reader that it is Crater Lake, one
of the wonders of the world. We left
there at 7:10 Sunday morning and
stopped at Crescent for dinner. Then
we made another stop at Bend for gas.

Trip Totals 11S0 Miles.
The meeting was held Monday after
noon In the Commercial Club rooms
and It was largely attended and of
much interest. We remained in Prine
ville until Thursday morning so we
could get around the valley some and
be there one day at the Interstate Fair,
which began on Wednesday. Thurs
day morning, October 4. we left Prine
ville about 5 o'clock and went up the
Ochoco Valley a dozen miles or so to
the ranch of George H. Russell, where
we had a fine breakfast. Then we went
on and got to Baker at 1:30 Friday
morning, making the drive of 234 miles
in about 16 hours, the balance of the
time being taken for meals and stops,
and taking out two hours for time lost
through one of the machines breaking
a spring.
That embraces the trip. What was
it made for? That is the question. We
traveled a distance of about 1150 miles.

EDITORIAL
We need take to writing editorials when we find one manufac
turer crying "wolf" and telling us a lot about "Stencil Pianos,"
when he himself is manufacturing what others are pleased to call
"Stencils."
The so-called Stencil Piano of today is 7. mere "bugaboo"
wherewith to frighten the piano-buyer when he favors buying of
another store.
The fact remains there are but few pianos manufactured, and
for sale here today, that can be properly classed as Stencils, owing
to the campaign against Stencils carried on by manufacturers and
dealers in recent years. Therefore, dealers, as well as manufac
turers, may as well drop the cry of "wolf," as it now, as a rule,
needlessly destroys the confidence of the public in piano quality.
Here you may have all about Stencils in a "nutshell": The
Piano Manufacturer needs to make several grades of pianos to
supply the market, and yet he can place his name only upon his
best grade, consequently the practice, now in vogue, of buying out
a maker's name (the maker having gone out of the piano manufac
turing business) for his second grade, and perhaps copyrighting a
name like, for instance, Duchess, Victor, Royal, Standard, etc., for
his third grade. Thus designating the three grades of piano quality
that he is manufacturing. All such makes, when they have the name
cast into the iron plate, are legitimate standard makes. Open the
top of a piano and only when you find no name in the iron plate
need you actually consider the piano a "Stencil."
Therefore, you need not worry about Stencils much today, but
look to it that you get the 50 pr cent more tone and efficiency
that you now find in our 1917 and 1918 models, as compared to
older models. After all, tone is what you are buying, and next
you need to make sure of the 50 per cent greater efficiency found
in the actions of our 1917 and 191S models.

the cattle thief, or, rather, the cattle
thieves, for those fellows do not trot

organization takes in all of the range

the North and the Gulf on the South.
They do their driving and their brand

fruits of their labors along the line

obliterated them and botched them up

must organize, so the Oregon Cattle

are $10 a year, and sometimes there
have been assessments of a couple of
cents a head on the stock. The asso
ciation has now on hand something
like $11,000. Most of the money is ex
pended for hiring attorneys to prose

the stockyards. The officers get no

cost a couple of thousand dollars, but
it cost the organization not a cent.
Every cattle and horse owner in Ore

and ought to remain a member until
the cattle thieves are driven out of the
state, until no decent lawyer will take
the defense for a known cattle thief.
For these thieves are known, and they
would have been run out of Oregon
before this only for the fact that their
conviction is difficult owing to the high
prices they pay attorneys and the sys

The regular meeting or the associa
tion takes place on April .24, next, at
Ontario.
Every cattle and horse owner ought
to be there or be represented there.
You need the organization for many
reasons aside from the protection
against thieves. Who is to speak for
the cattle owners if Hoover orders a
horizontal decrease of 5 cents a pound
on all meat products? Who is to go
before the Legislature for the passage
of necessary laws? Who went to Salem
last Winter and had the pure-bred bull
law passed? Why. the necessity of or
ganization is too plain to argue about.
So let every cattle and horse raiser do
his duty and write to the association
or to the president or secretary at
Baker and become a member. And do
this without delay.
