This Is the largest single contract for meat ever made by the government In time of peace. It will require the slaughter of 28,000 bead of cattle and 6000 hogs to fill the order; the meat, when packed and ready for delivery will amount to about 45 carloads. S HL FEED ST PHOT That Pilot Rock Is to become a feeding ground and stock buying cen ter for the Armour Packing company Is now almost an assured fact. Op tions on two or three tracts of ground adjacent to the town of Pilot Rock have been secured by the big pack ing company and this week the deal will be finally closed for a feeding ground, It Is believed. For several months the Armour company has been searching eastern Oregon over for a suitable location for a big feed yard and stock-buying center and finally Pilot Rock, In the heart of the Umatilla county livestock belt, has been selected and If the. deal goes through, one of the greatest stock feeding and huylng Industries in Oregon will be built there. It Is said the company will buy at least 40 acres for feeding pens and Bheds, and will then make a center fori winter feeding, using the available hay and barley of the Pilot Rock dis trict for fattening thousands of bead of cattle and sheep. Owing to the shipping facilities ami to the Immense quantities of hay and barley produced there and also to the great cattle and sheep raising districts adjacent, Pilot Rock has been looked upon by the company as the best lo cation In eastern Oregon for a feed ing ground and stock-buying center. The people of Pilot Rock are Justly proud of the fact that their thriving town has ben selected as the site for such an Important Industry and every thing will be done to close the deal for a good tract of land near the city for the purposes of the packing com pany. It will perhaps be known def initely this week If the company se cures the land needed for the new Industry. Rudio.

A bitter attack on the national forest reserve policy of Chief Forester Pinchot in California and on the Pacific coast, threatens the disruption of the 16th national irrigation congress which convened today. The Pacific coast delegates are prepared to make a bitter assault upon what they term the "unwarrant ed Czarlsm" of the forester. Pinchot H present as the representative of President Roosevelt and his support- rs and the friends of the administra tion are gathering to his defense. They accuse the leaders in the revolt against Pinchot of representing tne cattle barons. Judge D. C. Dean of Denver, gen eral counsel for the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, has threatened to come and deliver a denunciation of Pinchot from the floor of the congress. The forester's enemies say that he charge so great a price for the privilege of allowing cattle to feed on the range that It is impossible for small cattle men to use the national ranges. Spokane wants the next congress, and from the fight its delegates are making the inland empire city seems to stand a good chance of winning the plum. Tnere are 2300 delegates and 10, 000 visitors present. Roosevelt Greeti Gatherlng President Roosevelt In a letter re ceived by the congress today, stated his regret at his Inability to attend the meeting and declared his hope for the admission of Arizona and New- Mexico into statehood.

In answer to a direct question, however, Mr. Ixe Insisted that outside of the personal interest which he had In the matter, be felt confident that the electoral vote of the state would heretofore have only been found in the larger cities, are striking Indica tions of a progressive spirit. In speaking of the conditions throughout the state at the present time as compared with last fall. Lee gave it as his opinion that Oregon Is getting close to normal conditions once more. The low prices being paid for hops In the Willamette valley, he thought would tend to reduce the usual amount of money received for the products of that section of the state, but that notwithstanding this fact the effects of last fall's panic would soon be forgotten there and more quickly In eastern Oregon where undoubtedly be cast for Taft ana good crops and good prices prevail.
