Newspaper Page Text14 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 29, 1920 RAIN BIG BENEFIT WHICH DIRECTING COOLIDGE ACTIVITIES CLUB. , PORTLAND HARDING AND BIG SECTION Cattle and Sheepmen of Ore gon and Idaho in High Glee. $8 HAY IS LOOKED1 FOR Stat Veterinarian Say9 livestock Free From Disease and In llest of Condition. SALEM, Or., Aug. 28. (Special.) "A single night's rain that fell over the entire range section of eastern Oregon and Idaho last -week did more for the intermountain livestock industry than half a dosen political platforms or 20 sets of marketing or other resolutions," according to Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian, who returned here yesterday from a trip as far east as the Idaho line. "Our livestock producers' troubles have all had their origin in feed," said Dr. Lytle. "Last year a short range caused the range animals to enter the feed lot with a scanty amount of tal low on their carcasses. That, coupled with $32 hay, was even too much for an Oregon stockman to endure. Con sequently after passing through a strenuous winter attended with some winter range losses, with feeding costs never before equalled, and ani mals, many of them, in poorer con dition In the spring than in the fall, coupled with a quite disastrous farm ing and calv'ng season, the average stockman was looking for anything that would seem to afford relief. "A demand for a. marketing com mission, a 25 per cent reduction, so as to make feed cheaper and quality better, all seemed to afford possibili ties for relief. S Hay Is Looked for. "But as we have said before, noth ing can compete with an inch of rain at Just the right time, and) that we now have, and the long-looked-for turn appears t be in sight. "Eight dollar hay is now being talked and ift heavy producing cen ters a lower price Is even hinted at. Hay men always have the opportunity to go into the 'feeding game' and many of them may be forced into it in order , to market their crop. "Cheap hay and tall grass makes it much easier to combat a falling market. This insures that highly conditioned stuff will be put on the market and that stockers and range animals must be in 'marked demand in order to harvest a range grass crop that should grow rank on land that has been lying fallow for sev eral seasons owing to either a pro traoted drouth or a late rain at the end of the growing season. "A trip through the forest reserves of eastern Oregon Just ended shows heep in better condition than for years -rid & considerable excess num ber of stock sheep carried over from last spring owing to a light demand due to the tightness of the money market. "The lamb crop, though light in the high desert country, will, average around 60 to (5 per cent throughout the entire range section. Already there is some little, movement in breeding animals, and ..$10 and $12 seems to be the growing price for OOd fine young ewes. Coarse bred4 unimals are admittedly considerable lower, but with plenty of feed in tight there should be a rapid recovery in price. Sheepmen Are Discouraged. "'Not a few of the sheepmen are discouraged and had it not been for the very seasonal rain many of them would have quit. As it is some will not be willing to encounter the diffi culties of wool and mutton production further. The majority of the older breeders are in the 'game' to stay. They realize that it is folly to follow ihe crowd and that when the busi ness is engaged in over any reason able period of time that it will re turn a nice profit. "Cattle look both sleek and fat. a high testimonial to the quality of Oregon grasses when one recalls the poorness of flesh that the majority of stockers were in when turned out last spring. Indeed, some of them were let out of the pens too early and Bome early spring losses were ex perienced and the calf crop was easily cut In half because of the poor win tering. "In summarizing it should be said tl:at Oregon livestock never was In better condition, and freer from dls. ciders and disease than at the pres ent time. If the industry wants for anything, it is optimism on the part of the owner. Present day business Is done l.n gely upo- optimism. Let us hope these early seasonal rains will give our Industry this necessary optimism." STOCKMEN FACE CRISIS High Cost of Feed Is Trouble, Says Farm Agent Leader. THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 28. (Spe cial.) Cattlemen and stockmen of eastern Oregon are facing the most serious crisis ever confronted by them, says F. L. Ballard, assistant leader of farm agents of Corvallis, who is in The Dalles in consultation with E. B, Jackman, county agent for Wasco county. Cattlemen cannot get cheao feed and for this reason they are up against it, ne continued, and the wool grower faces the same situation. Crop conditions in eastern Oresron were never better, he added, but with all of the prosperity, things are look ing dark for the livestock man. In Lake and adjacent counties stook raisers are planting alfalfa and building- silos for the purpose of re ducing raising cost. Women .Pass Civil Service Test. ;ight women who took a recent municipal civil service examination for positions of operative in the wom en's protective division of the police bureau, received passing grades, ac cording iu ratings announced yes terday. Mrs. Elizabeth S. Moorad passed hlgaest in the test with a rating1 of St. 60 per cent. The others who passe., are Mrs. Myrtle S. Keiser, '91.61; Mrs. Elizabeth R. Forrest, 91.11; Mrs. Louise H. Blake, 86.72; Mrs. Orace B. Kickerson. 82.22; Josephine A. Courtney, 79.88; Mrs. Gertrude Kinsey, 79.61; and Mrs. Carrie S. Turner, 71.44. Damage Suit Filed. Specific damages of $2 for a doctor bill and $4 50 for the loss of a kodak, and general damages of $1500 for mental and physical anguish, are de manded by Margaret Callan in a Suit filed in the circuit court as the re sult of being struck by .an automo bile driven by E. E. Doane on the Sandy river bridge, on the Columbia hignway, August 15. 1920. The plain tiff avers aha was crushed against the railing.' .

Such were the estimates placed upon the lives and work of these two men by Harvey w. Scott, the great editor of The Oregonlan, and there was no other man in the entire north west who was so capable of giving a Just and adequate aestimate of their life work. As the eloquent words of his pastor still ring in our ears his "Hail and Farewell" let us think not only of Dr. Lyman's father and brother, but also of that heroic band of mission aries and pioneers of -whom Dr. Ly man wrote and spoke, led by the shining martyr for whom Whitman college is named. From these it is "Hail" but never "Farewell," as this son of the great northwest enteral their illustrious company. MARY LYMAN McCOY. BULGARIA TRADE DEAL Ofl BRITISH PAPER SAYS XT. S.

(To the Ed itor.) To the tributes of love, hom age and appreciation as lavishly given as were the flowers scattered by lov ing hands upoA - the casket of Dr. Lyman, my - brother, a sister's love prompts me to add a few lines. Lives like his do not come by acci dent. When a stream rushes with peculiar sweetness and purity down the mountain side, we look to the Source to find the secret. Let us do so with this life. I state the simple truth when I say that there are three names which will be forever asso ciated with the history of this great northwest: Horace Lyman, home mis sionary of Oregon of 1849, preacher, teacher, Inspiring leader; Horace S. Lyman, his younger son, historian, educator, also writer of poetry and essays, who though three years younger than William, passed over more than 16 years ago, and last this son who has. Just joined them. We trace back his ancestry and wonder if the fidelity to principle, the pure, high ideality, the love of liberty mingled with his passionate love for all things beautiful, did not come from his New England parents and the trace of French blood that flowed in his veins. We think of the faith" that led Horace and Mary Lyman to leave their homes on that November day in 1848 and' set sail in a clipper barks around Cape Horn for Oregon. The faith,, the "light that shone within," alone guided their little ship, a mere speck upon that vast southern sea. as they passed around the frowning cape. Is not the life Just finished here and the life of that other son so faithful and beneficent to all around an answer to that prayer of faithf In a Founders' day address deliv ered by Mr. Scott at Forest Grove on October 16, 1901, he paid the fol lowing tribute to Rev. Horace Lyman the father, who had been'hls teacher tji t-roressor Lyman aucn is my reverence for his memory I almost hesitate to speak lest my words should be. too poor. He was the most spiritually minded of all men I have ever known. Yet he was a practical man, subject to no Illusions. Of the I narrow conditions that existed here he never uttered a complaint; his sense of duty was more than a habit and even more than a calculated prin ciple, it was an unconscious Vart of his nature. He did everything. Hs directed studies', he heard recitation: he kept a fatherly eye upon'all the young people about him; he Inspired universal confidence, and through the sympathy that radiated from his na ture and Invited Its responses he cams into possession of the inmost feellns- rof everyone, so that he knew Just how to be a helper. He was a quet.. yet indefatigable worker; the personifi cation of gentleness, yet invincibly firm. With the most slender means he wbrked with an Unwavering pa tience. As Wordsworth says of Milton, "His heart the lowliest duties on Itself did lay.' His faith was always sub lime. His work was done 'as ever in the great taskmaster's eye.' For tunate Is the community that has such men to lay its foundations.' And of Horace &. Lyman, the son, Mr. Scott said in an editorial In The Oregonlan: "feorn and educated In Oregon, of a family In whom and through whom character had been built up for gen erations, by devotion to high Ideals, he was a man to do a Work upon literary and educational and moral lines In Oregon, that will livs after him. In the Judgment of Ths Ore gonian he had clearer and fuller knowledge of the historical develop ment of the Oregon country than any other man In It not merely of events and their sequence, but of the inner spirit that established these common wealths and has carried on their de velopment.
