(Spe cial) -A new era in the develop ment of Central Oregon and the Deschutes Valley began with the receipt on March 8, at The Port land Union Stockyards, of a car load of 104 hogs. They took the top price of the season, $0.95 per hundred weight. The most sig nificant feature of the transac tion was that they had beep fat tened on alfalfa and finished on wheat, the total cost to the grow ers being $3.60 per hundred weight. The hogs were loaded at Opal City and Madras, G4 head belong ing'to the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company and 40 head to CM. El kins of Prineville. The stockyards officials were de lighted over the transaction ;they say it is a most valuable object lesson on the change from the range and bonanza wheat ranch ing to intensified farming con ditions. L. Nichols who had charge of the shipment said "people in the section from which we brought the stock, have not yet awaken ed to the possibilities of hog-rais ing for the Portland market. We brought this carload here chiefly to prove to them that it is prac tical and profitable. Hogs are not now raised by farmers about Prineville Madras and neighbor ing sections except for local con sumption. Once let them com prehend the possibilities of rais ing for the Portland market and I believe that the Deschutes Val ley country wi" become one of the finest ho iising countries in the State Candidate For District Attorney Visits in Madras Ernest C. Smith, whose an nouncement for the office of dis trict attorney, appears in an other column of this paper was in Madras and Crook County last week looking over the situation and making himself generally known. Mr. Smith is practically a new man to this section of the seventh judicial district. How ever while around he made many friends, and left a good impression with those who met him, as to his ability to handle the important office that he .is seeking. Mr. Smith is a young man, and is a hustler, to all appear ances, the quality that is needed in an office of this kind, and if nominated and elected, would make a very competent man in our opinion. Rabbit Drive Sunday A rabbit drive will bo held Sun day morning in the country south of Madras. A new corral has been erected on the southwest corner of the Morrow & Keenan school section. The drive will be made over practically the same terretory as the other drives du rintr the winter, but will go in a now direction. The Party will start from the place of Barney Cummings about 9 oclock. In that it has been several weeks, since the last drive, a large attendonco is expected. of the regular claimB against the city. Books Show Madras and Kutchar Precincts are Largely Republicans 0 by American Press Association, CMAMIP CLAM BACK of the 8penker's presidential candidacy are the majority of the Demo cratic members of the house of representatives, and. Indeed, he is so popular on both Bides of tho chamber that his nomination -would give pleasure, so far as personal predilections are concerned, to most of his col leagues. Mr. Clark (who originally bore tho Christian name of Beauchamp, by the way), has been in continuous congressional sen-ice as a Missouri repre sentative, with the exception of one term, since 1803. He is a forceful and pleasing orator. He enriches his speeches with Scriptural quotations and allu sions and interlards his arguments with droll and humorous anecdotes smack ing of the soil. GREAT THINGS PROMISED BY SPONSORS OF SOCIAL GLOB Large Attendance Expected by Ladies who have Been Instrumental in Providing Ammuse a, ments During the Winter. Danc ing After Show. An inspection of the registration books for the Madras and Kut cher precincts show that the full voteof those two precincts?is not registered yet, especially in the Madras precinct. .This means, in its last analysis, that these pre cincts will not get their full quoto of representation in the coming primaries, unless the voters all come in and register. The books showed Tuesday night hat 111 had registered in Kut- cher precinct, and 63 in Madras. This represents the full voting strength of Kutcher precinct, but only about 60 per cent of tre number who have voted at pre vious elections in Madras. Kutcher precinct is Republican by more than two to one, seventy one voters having signified their intention of voting for the cand idates of the "G. O. P." at the primaries, thirty-one the Demo cratic ticket, six the Socialist, two voters registered as Inde pendents; and one is a Prohib - itionist. The Republican majority in the Madras precinct has agood safe working majority, but not as arge as in the Kutcher precinct. Thirty - three have registered as being affiliated with the Repub- ican party, nineteen with the Democratic, one Socialist, nine ndependents and one Prohibit - ionist. Mesdames Rumor and Gossip, twin sisters in this world of ad versity, are hard at work coaching for the presentation of the "Soc ial Club of Lonely ville." They are present each night to assist the local Thespians to find the right and proper way of creating each of the characters in the little playlet. Of course nothing per sonal.or in any wise appertaining to local affairs will be mentioned from the stage that night, but the name of the offering is suffi cient to warn all who are inter ested in the entertainment, that there will be fun galore from the time the certain rises. Where was a social club ever formed, that was not fruitful of many good stones? It is just the nat ure of the beasts, and the "Socia Club of Lonely ville" will prove no exception, we are told by those who are present each night at the rehearsals. There are several particular rea Bons why a large attendance is desired and expected on this night One of them is the possibility E. N. Strong, who represents tho Oregon Life Insurance Com-r pany, came in Monday morning looking up business in this section. that this will be the last entertain ment to be given by the Dramatic Club, which has done so much to encourage and promote good time around town this winter. For this reason, the ladies who have charge of the entertainment, are working especially hard to make it a success. Then it is no state secret that the clubneeds the money. They have been to con tinual expense in attempting to provide amusement for the win ter, and all know how well they have succeeded. They deserve, and have reasons to expect liberal patronage from the people of Madras and vicinity, at their last show. After the play, the floor will be cleared for dancing. Good mu sic will be provided, and being Friday night, it will not be neces sary to stop at midnight, but if the dancers are inclined so to do, they can trip the light fantastic until tho wee sma' hours of the night. ,Tho only important part you are to look after is that you are present. Ben Ashley returned Friday night from Portland, whither ho had accompanied his parents on the first stage of their journey to Jackson Minn. Martin Forrest Wedding This office is in receipt of a communication announcing the marriage of Miss Meda Martin, a daughter of Isaac Martin, of Cul ver, to Earl Forrest, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Forrest 'ormer resident of Oneil, Ore gon.
