a recant trip in Gilliam
ana Sherman counties. K. J Blanc hard, agrieul
ttriat of the 1,1 vertex SUts bank, reporta that
tiers la eoneiderable feed going to waste that
could otherwise be utilized for 11 restock.
"I saw thousands of acres of the finest stubble
ler-d containing good growth of volunteer wheat
going to waste for the want of livestock to pas
ture." be . reports. The tall pastures in. these
counties are not even touched. Many of them
would stand up to three sheep to the acre. The
avenge farmer can well afford to have 75 head
or a quarter section. There is nothing that puts
uu such a fine finish to range lands as tha vege
tation 'found in the stubble field from September
to Christmas time. I passed nuny rammer tal
lows which looked like a winter wheat crop, but
m drawing, closer only proved to be a thick mat
b( weeds, principally fileree. Not only would the
sl eep thrive on this and clean the summer fal
lrw. but will kill tha ragwort, tha source of
Pk-tln cattle disease."
Ue predicted that slowly, but gradually this
country was coming to a mixed farming and
tiestock section, and in time would follow the
lead of the Falouse country in growing field peas,
which makes excellent ration for finishing all
kinds of stock. '

Mutton Situation Quiet
- Extreme quiet tone continues in the mutton
ana lamb trade at North Portland with limited
(flerings over night.
Regarding the eastern situation, the bureau of
markets brings the following wire from Chicago:
"Many partly finished western lambs . from
coin belt territory, the first sales of which, in
ncrrly all instances, proved a disappointment to
the shippers, have been included in receipts at
.his market during the last three weeks. Lambs
which were purchased at' Omaha and Chicago
during July, August and the early part of Sep
tenber at prices ranging from 317.00 to $18.00
rer hundred, have sold at prices ranging t from
81.00 ta as much as $5.00 per hundred lower
ttan the original coat, 1 because of poor killing
e ndition and the declines in market prices which
hae taken place, since they were purchased. The
first bad storms which are indicative of the ap
proach of winter usually prove- the signal for
an exodus of western lambs from the corn belt
anr" eastern farms which are not equipped to
prcvide proper shelter.
"The output of feeders was libera during the
first part of the feeding season, and much of
tie stock went into the hands of smell farmers
wl cse experience in sheep feeding has been
mere or less limited."

While confirmation Is tacking, it it stated
that purchases of carload lots of dressed turkeys
have been made at Willamette valley point dur
ing tha last few days at 33c a pound. L o b.
country atattons. With shrinkage and freight
charges, this would make the landed price here
in carloads about 3 5c a pound.
While Ahis ia. a somewhat higher price tha
normal, still it ia a low as compared with the
price that turkeys have been selling at to date
in the local market this season. Best dressed stock
available has been freely picked up at 88 0 40c a
pound for the recent offerings. Whether those
extreme values were due entirety to the scant of
lemga. is not knowa. but the trade in general is
anticipating an excellent market for the holiday
birds this season. '
Receipts wof live turkeys during the last few
days have been somewhat more liberal, but BtUs
really worth while quality has come forward.
With the pree of ordinary poultry extremely
high, a continuation of the good demand for tur
keys is anticipated.

Chicago, Nov. 1. (I. N. S.) Corn was
lower at the opening of trading today, and with
continued reports of growing political upheaval
in Europe, the undertone was weak. Commission
houses generally were on the selling side, with
little support being given on the decline.
Oats tallowed corn, and were fractionally
weaker.
Provisions were dull, and ranged around yester
day's close.

Good News Gives
Stock Market Lift
In Early Trading
New York. Nov. 1. (I. N. S.) Nothing else
waa considered in the stock market this morning
except the good news in regard to the war situa
tion. Gratification over the certainty of the ap
proach of peace waa reflected in public buying on
a large scale, which more than overcame expres
sions of uncertainty about what will happen te
leading industrials when their output is no longer
needed for war purposes.
During the first 15 minutes nearly all the
stock traded in waa established at considerable
higher levels.
The steel , industrials generally made gains
ranging from 'fractions to over L point. .
The greatest advance was in tha atock wfSch
waa fluctuated over a wide range daily for several
wieks, Mexican Petroleum, which rose ' 6 points.
urine preferred waa directly influenced by pub
lished statement, that the English directors hav
ing charge of the nego tstioas for the sale of the
British lines are expert here shortly, and that
announcement of the being completed may
be made next week, r
The copper stocks! were active and strong, with
American Smelting advancing.

Washing-ton, Nov. l. (I. N. S.) The
fourth Liberty loan went over the top
by mere than $860,000,000.
The treaaary derjgartnient this after
noon announced that the total subscrip
tions to the "Victory loan- totalled
$6,8,41.300, or 14.44 per cent more
than the $6,000,000,000 quota that -was
set at the fcegiyinlne of the drive.
The estimated number of subscribers
Is In excess of 21,000.000, In the first
loan the number of subscribers was
4,500,000, tn the second loan 9,500,000 and
In the third loan 18,300,000. Final fig
urea both as to the total amount of
subscriptions and the number of sub
scribers are a till lacking, but results will
not be less than now, reported, it was
stated. Details will be furnished as soon
as final reports are received.
A particularly - Inspiring part of the
campaign - was the subscription of the
men in the army ef more than $75,000,
000 and of the men in the navy of more
than J43.600.O00. Soldiers and sailors
showed that they are not only willing to
fight but to lend to the limit of their
means to back the government.
The results by districts arranged in
the order of the percentage of their
oversubscription are estimated by the
federal reserve banks as follows :

stinka to heaven? These very men that
are so loud in protesting that 'politics
should be adjourned thought to take
advantage of the president's statement
with reference to this matter and, while
pretending to agree with him. were
planning to undermine hia work and be
little his accomplishments.
"The sinister purposes of these men
are fraught with great danger not to
America alone, but to the whole world.
Suppose their campaign of vllificatjon
and abuse succeed, and the American
people should thoughtlessly decide to
discredit Wilson by placing In power re
actlonarles for that is what the 'old
c-nard' atanda for what then? 1
Now It the Time for Frogrett
"If ever in the history of the world,
if ever in the life of each individual,
there Is a clarion call for the cohorts
of progress and democracy, regardless
of race, creed or politics, to get to
gether and sustain the principles of jus
tice, and tb.3 good of the common people.
that time Is now."
""She writer has been a consistent
Democrat ever since 1864," writes Dr.
W. Chambers Schultz, of Oregon City.
"Duning the Spanish-American war I
voted for Mr. McKlnley and Roosevelt
It seemed to me then, that as a loyal
citizen I ought to help, at such a time,
to present a united front to Spain. I
now beg some life-long Republican to
do as I did and prove to the whole
world in the present crisis, that the
states are united behind Wood row Wil
son and determined 'to make the world
safe for democracy.'"
Haa Can Oet Wrong 'Idea
'No one knows better than the presi
dent that a patriotic Republican is Just
as good and quite as efficient In con
gress during this war as any Democrat
could possibly be," writes William F.
Pruden, "but, he does not Relieve in the
face of these reactionary attacks upon
him that the Huns would see it in that
light nor do I believe it would have
the same effect with our allies as a
congress in every wsy fully in sympathy
with the president I, therefore, be
lieve that Oregon ought to be the first
state to go over the top in an undivided
support of the president I believe the
voters on itext Tuesday should go to
the polls and send Oswald West to the
senate." 1 e
"The words of Ada Wallace TJnruh
which appeared In a late issue of The
Journal touch a responsive chord with
the writer.: Although reared a strong
Republican 1 of the Lincoln typo she finds
no satisfaction under present conditions
in supporting any political party which
evidently has outgrown to a large ex
tent its splendid record of the past
writes Mrsr J. A. II. of Hood River.
Wett't Record Stands Oat
"It is the writer's Intention to vote
for Oswald West and Walter Pierce.
"Ex-Governor West has a record, too
well known to entertain any doubt where
he will stand on all questions of honor
snd courage. Also Walter Pierce's rec
ord Is clean and clear as a strong fac
tor in the local option campaign of 11
years ago, when it wiu oe rememoerea
that law was assailed by its enemies.
These men should receive the support of
every loyal woman In Oregon, because
veteran of the Indian wars, ealla on hia
comrades and friends to vote for West
for senator and thus help to "make the
United States senate safe to back the
grandest diplomat and statesman the
world has ever produced. The women o(
vregon nave a great duty to perform
in mis election." .
how would It do to print extracts
rrom the recent attacks bv Rons v it
Lodge and Polndexter. and In parallel
coiumn quote extracts from the eapt
onage act?" asks W. -W. Rodwell of
Hood River.
