FOLK who dwell in the ease brush
have a hunger for the hills. Over
eastern Oregon way. when the
heat hangs shimmering above green
alfalfa fields and interminable
stretches of gray and golden plain,
they turn their eyes to the Blue
mountains off yonder cool and de
, llghtful in the distance. And if with
the hill hunger one baa the botanist's
passion the urge to follow flowers
nothing will avail to still the invita
tion of the mountains in May.
This is the prelude, a fragment
from the spring of other days to a
- story of successful service. And while
fancy fails to link the first crocus
with political preferment, it is nar
rated that about that season, more
than a score of years ago, two boys
'were talking of politics as they
, paused on the western flank of the
range that watches over Umatilla
butte and prairie and river course.
They were botanists on an outing
and with the veering pleasure of their
'teens they had turned from flowers
' to statecraft.
Botanist Would Be Senator.
"A fellow ought to choose his work
' when he's about our age, said one.
"He ought, to' aspire and work to
- make it all come true. I'd like to be
a United States senator and serve
this Btate in Washington. There Isn't
any reason why I shouldn't oe one.
Think of the chances I'd have to de-
velop this very country we're look
lng at the chances to make laws that
would help everyone."
" "I guess you're right about that."
returned his fellow botanist. "You
sort of get me enthusiastic, too. There
are big jobs to tackle in the senate,
the sort of work I'd like to have a
hand in. Maybe I'll be a senator
after a while. Tes, I rather think
I will be."
Three "weeks ago, on an election
day that will be memorable in ' his
tory, the sovereign voters of Oregon
approved that youthful ambition
- broached on a botanical trail in the
. Blue mountains by the tide of bal-
field, otherwise "Bob," into service as
United States senator from the state
of his birth and boyhood. And it isn't
often, is it, that careless enthusiasms
of adolescence come back like laden
argosies?
Mr. S4anfleld la AU-Weatern.
The story of "Bob" Stanfield, senator-elect,
is an all-western sce
nario, with a background of sage and
foothills, and no plot at all save an
unremitting application to the task
at hand, plus the winning of friends
and .an unconquerable tendency to
keep on smiling. And it is susceptible
of proof, entirely so, that any num
ber of men have strode into promi
nence smiling broadly, while the dour
and the despondent never glimpsed
the gates.
Robert Nelson Stanfield, named for
his father, a pioneer of Oregon and
California, was born in the town of
Umatilla. July 9. 1S77, when the
upper Columbia river outpost was the
head of navigation, a city of 2500 and
justly boastful. It was at Umatilla,
- where the big stream Pushes swiftly

goods were trans-shipped by ox team

The fine old days of the freighter,
a vanished western type, were pass
ing with the advent of the railroad,
and In 1882, when the Oregon Kail
road & Navigation company had con
structed its line through to Port
land, the Stanfields transferred their
fortunes to Pendleton. In a manner
of speaking, the last pack train,
profanely perspiring, had dwindled
away on the long trail. For a brief
period the elder Stanfield. carried on
a warehousing and forwarding en
terprise in Pendleton, turning to the
land ir 1S83.
Locates on Batter Creek,
Have you seen Butter creek, aptly
named before ever the herds grazed
its green fields? It curves down
fronithe Blue mountains to the Uma
tllla plain, weaving a tortuous course
through the buttes and where it
touches the sage, the sage ceases to
be. Butter creek lays its claim to
being the cradle of eastern Oregon
irrigation, and is of more than pass
ing note with its long array of hay
stacks, like so many loaves from a
giant's oven, - set out for the winter
feeding. The Stanfields located on
Butter creek.
Theirs was one of the first ranches
In the vast domain of eastern Ore
gon, and its development indicated
to an army of pioneers the possibili
ties of the lands that once were
thought fit only for grazing. There
were no wheat or hay fields, and the
herds roamed in vagrant bands over
the bunchgrass pasturage. Practical
irrigation was unknown, and when
young "Bob" puddled around in But
ter creek its course was a lonely
green ribbon twisted across the mon
astic gray of the prairie.
Irrigation Begun by Father.
He had witnessed the last departure
of the pack train, and he was to see
the arrival of a new Idea novel, at
least to the west. His father had
chosen the Butter creek ranch with
forethought, having in mind the
dusty acres about it as well as the
watered trough of the little strewn.
And the. first 'irrigation dams were
crudities, sufficient only lor prooi
that the trick could be turned. The
beaver clan are neater craftsmen
than were those ranchers who cast
logs athwart the stream and dumped
straw against the timber, packing
down the unstable barrier with dirt.
Steel and concrete have replaced the
crazy contrivances of 30 years and
more ago, and the streams are di
verted aft will.
Young "Bob" was at his father's
side, an attentive comrade, when the
initial dams were built, or out on the
range where the cattle nibbled bunch
grass and he glimpsed the dawn of
a day when the despised bench lands
were to be placed under water and
counted as the finest acreage in the
district. With irrigation came, in
evitably and to the profit of those
agricultural pioneers, the lusty le
gume known as alfalfa. - .
Alfalfa Introduced In Oregon,
"A wonderful new plant!" they
called it. back in 188S. when its her.
aids announced alfalfa to the dubious
ranchers. The Stanfield ranch deter
mined upon the experiment, and to
day the - initial impetus of " alfalfa
growing in eastern Oregon is gener
ally credited to Robert N.. Stanfield
Sr. and the old Butter creek ranch.
Alfalfa spread in favor as it claims
the fields swiftly and with strong
root and wrought a new era in live
stock husbandry. It kept its green
promise is huge, unparalleled stacks
and with its advent the disastrous
winter losses of stock were elim
inated. x
It -was predestined that "the- -wide
ranges of eastern Oregon could not
be held by cattlemen alone, and the
time came when it was youn&r "Bob's"
almost daily duty to ride forth and
hold heated argument with the sheep
men, lest 'their flocks encroach upon
the Butter creek pastures. The youth
who was to become foremost in the
sheep-raising industry of America
then held for the herders a typical
cowman's contempt, yet the flocks
multiplied and made money, and even
the grudging cattlemen were at
length forced to admit that the Uma
tilla country was even more natural
ly dowered for sheep husbandry than
for cattle-raising.
Young Stanfield Learns Ranching.
Young "Bob" Stanfield learned the
lore of ranching from the grassroots
up, his father as mentor, and his
summers were spent In the service of
the ranch, busied at chores and dele
gated duties before he reached his
teens. There was. for educational
needs, a country school two miles
away, where he spent tha winter
months with the children of neigh
boring cattlemen. The Butter creek
venture was prospering and straight
ahead there stood the promise of a
university course.
But the Cleveland administration,
with Its attendant hard times, broke
down the rising prospects of the
stockmen, and when- young "Bob"
was sent in 1896 to the Eastern Ore

"Bob" Becomes Sheep King.
One year of normal school training
and the elder Stanfield's death end
ed the dream. Young "Bob" came
heme to Butter creek and took over
the reins of family administration.
There was work to be done and an
unprofitable investment to be trans
formed to a paying one. He leased
the home ranch from his mother and
plunged into the cattle business.

precepts that his father had given
him, through the years of their com

The Western Chefs association - passed
the following resolution:
"Resolved. That we favor the organiza

hood neighbor, and the two launched
a venture with 4000 head. -His pise
in sheep husbandry was meteoric, and
his steadily increasing flocks necessi
tated the constant - extension of his
range holdings. In 1911 his flocks
had grazed -their swath out of Oregon
and into Idaho, Montana and Color
ado, and he became the foremost
sheepman of' the west.
With the recurrence of a national
free trade policy, - when the Wilson
administration came into power, Mr.
Stanfield faced the same problem, in
a greater measure, as did his father
in the gloomy days of '94 and '95.
With other sheepmen and with Port
land bankers, imbued by the need of
a home market for wool, an organi
zation to counteract the drain of for
eign competition, Mr. Stanfield was
active in the organization in 1914 of
the Columbia Basin wool warehouse.
And Portland, at one bound, became
tha second largest wool market in
the United States, surpassed only by
Boston.
Taken Seat In Legislature.
Public duties, as in the organiza
tion of the wool warehouse, had
forced tha young sheepman from his
home range. In 1912 he was elected
to the Oregon legislature, as repre
sentative from Umatilla and Morrow
counties, and served in the 1913 ses
sion when C. N. McArthur, now rep
resentative in congress, was speaker
of the house. . He held the chairman
ship of the committee - on banking
and was a member of other impor
tant committees, including taxation
and assessments. It was during this
session that the first practical and
constructive laws for the regulation
of state banks were enacted.
Returned to the legislature in 1914
for the session of 1915. Mr. Stanfield
was given the chairmanship of the
committee on taxation and assess
ment and was made a member of the
banking committee. The 1915 session
signalized its records with -further
amendment of the state banking laws.
which have since remained virtually
unchanged and are the basis for Ore
gon's reputation as the state with the
best banking laws in America. The
present tax code was also devised by
the 1315 session, wnicn repealed an
then existing tax laws and enacted
new ones, revising others. a
At the close of the 1S1&. session it
was proposed that should Mr. Stan
field be returned by his constituency
for the 1917 session he be elected
speaker. Both proviso and agree
ment came to pass, and at the open-
irnr of the 1917 legislature he was
unanimously chosen speaker of the
house.- In 1918 he met his first and
only political reverse defeat at the
primaries in the contest witn tjnanes
Lt McNary for the republican sena
torial nomination.
Flocks Number Half Million.
Something of the magnitude of
Bob" Stanfield's sheep husbandry
may be glimpsed from the mere state
ment that his own sheep, on his own
range, have totaled 200,000 in a sin
ale season, with from 400,000 to 600,
000 head purchased from other grow
ers. He is known as the largest
sheep dealer in America and the larg
est patron of the mid-weBtern mar
kets Chicago. Kansas City and St.

On the range, however, the meas

tell stories of "Bob" Stanfield's

that are worth, far more to the lis

that afford the clew to why "Bob1
Stanfield, - senator-elect, has made
both friends and enemies but vastly
more of the former.
Mr. Stanfield is now a resident of
Portland, with his wife and daugh
ter, Barbara, and the fortitude with
which he faced his problems back on
Butter creek is no longer demanded.

it ought to stand a new senator fti

No one submits to dental operations because he likes it. The '
fact that a person comes to a dentist is evidence that pain or
fear of pain brought him. " :
Dentistry is and for a long time will be "a necessary evil"
and it is up to the physician to show the people how to avoid :
painful and expensive operations on the teeth. !
Preventive dentistry begins in the home and the physician, ;
who always has "entree" to the family circle, is the one person '
best qualified to preach the doctrine of the tooth brush and oral ;
cleanliness. ;
- b
Children of two or three years are none too youne to begin.
the systematic use of the tooth brush.
Parents should not REQUIRE teaching, but too frequently
they DO and the physician is the logical person to point out the
systematic as well as local effects from unclean teeth.
Dentists appreciate the courtesy of physicians sending them ;
patients, but they would appreciate it far more (and bo would
the patients) if physicians would send them BEFORE pyorrhoea ;
(which is often mistaken for other diseases) has developed to t
such an extent that sound teeth must be sacrificed that otherwise -could
have been saved. - J ;
We, as a profession, would likewise PREFER that patients
' referred to us by physicians be sent to SECURE OUR OPDJION
. as to the necessity of extraction of teeth, rather than that they
, be sent with instructions to "have all their teeth taken out."
Visit This Dental Office
Come as my guest, rather than as my patient talk with pa
tients having work in process consult my operating dentists :
Inspect the laboratories note the sanitary precautions taken here "
, ask questions use your eyes and ears and then let your own .;
good sense dictate whether it will be to your advantage to con
sider this YOUR dental office when you have work to be done. .
My quality has stood the test. Thousands have found it per- "
; manent. How else could I-personally guarantee it for 15 years?
; Quality dentistry does not always mean extremely high fees. My
low fees are within reach of all, merely a fair profit on your work.

Our Motto
ETerr patient innst be ab
solutely satisfied."

How to Make Pine
Coagh Syrup at Homm
Bss no ersU for prompt remits.
Takes but moment to prepare,
and saves yon about KS.
Pine is used in nearly all prescrip
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. .The "syrup" part
is iBually plain sugar syrup.
To make the beet pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2Vs ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with home-made sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a, full pint
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. It is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough er cold in a wry that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
ently loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same in
flamed membranes and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in 24 hours or less. Splen
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinez is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine ex
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2 ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction or money refunded.

tored for rheumatism ever since I came out
of the army, over 60 years ago. Like many
others, I spent money freely for so-called
'cures' and I have read about Uric Acid
until I could almost taste it. I could not
sleep nights or wallc without pain; my
hands were so sore and stiff I could not
hold a pen. But now I am again in active
business and can, waUc with ease or write

well attempt to put out a fire with oil as

how to get rid of the true cause of his .
