of Portland and Spokane, the Hill
Interests would encourage this de
velopment. Strahorn's line, centering at Bend
would connect the vast Eastern Ore

or sooth, and afford development to
a tremendous territory.
"We will encourage, and by no
means oppose Strahorn," Mr. Hill
said. "In-.fact, I should like to see
him fill the gap."

BULL ASSOCIATION
FORMED BY FARMERS
Organize to Improve Herds High
I . Class Jersey Sire Will
j Be Purchased.
i
The farmers in - the vicinity of
Powell Butte formed last Thursday
the Central Oregon Bull association.
County Agriculturalist Blanchard,
acting under the direction of the
County Agricultural Council, assisted
in forming the organization. E. S.
.Barnard, ' aecretary-tceaauner, and
chairman of the committee on eco
nomic problems of the County Agri
cultural Council, was particularly
active in assisting in the formation
of the association. . ' After adopting
articles and by-laws, the following of
ficers were elected: Geo. F. Beck
man, president; Levi Ernst, secretary-treasurer,
and E. S. Barnard,
chairman of board of directors. The
association will use a bull of the" Jer
sey breed.
This movement is regarded as the
second important step in the upbuild
ing of the dairy industry in Central
Oregon. The Cow Testing associa
tion and the Bull association are the
most potent factors in dairy improve
ment and indicate at once the class
of people and status of farming in
our country. Dairying is the basis
upon which our country will reach
prosperity and is based upon sound
agricultural principles. The dairy
man places considerable investment
in his cows. While the feed he uses
has a large influence on the amount
of milk or cream he receives, the cow
herself is the biggest factor controll
ing the profit on that investment.
Some cows are born to milk. Others
are born to eat. The Testing assoc
iation discovers which is which. The
Bull association produces more and
better cows born to milk. In the
Walla Walla Cow Testing association,
five herds were served by pure bred
bulls, and six herds by ordinary
sires. The tester found a difference
of 2581 pounds of milk, 130 pounds
of butter fat and $16.65 per cow In
favor of those who used the pure
bred bull, where the cost of feed,
etc., were identical for both herds.
The successful man did not "go into
the dairy business." - He grew into
it by careful selection and breeding
up. One cow for every five persons
In the United States, it is estimated,
is a dead loss to her owner. She
was born to eat and not to milk.
There is one man in this county who
milks five cows that are just about
equaling the product from one cow
his neighbor milks. All are the same
breed and have been milked the same
length of time. The difference be
tween the influence of a good and
poor bull in his offspring is some
times the difference between profit
and loss.
How Association Benefits.
The Bull association is merely the
get-together of several men who are
using the same breed of cows, who
purchase a high grade bull co-operatively,
thus geting the advantage at
a lower cost. As the association
grows, blocks or sections are formed
and a bull supplied to every 70
cows. At the end of two years, when
the danger of in-breeding occurB, the
bulls of the blocks In the association
are exchanged.
The association strives, in pur
chasing a sire, to secure one that has
a high known production record,
rather than to procure a long pedi
gree or a fancy name. Then start-
as the heritage or nls y Gov
ernor, a long prograrr lied

Ever since Johnson, a 1 cky man
of medium height with a nnrp stac

forefinger, ran for the vicc-presidon-ey

the picture of Johnson as his friends for his entire stock, from a Call-
see him. He has enemies who paint
him less agreeably and acquaintances
who view him as a composite of the
two; but all factions agree Johnson
is a "comer" in political affairs. It
was around Johnson and his attitude
toward the late Republican candi
date Hughes that the decisive Cali
fornia political tempest raged in the
recent Presidential election. What
Johnson will do in Washington re
mains to be seen, as Johnson does
not press agent his plans.
When William D. Stephens steps
into the California- gubernatorial

have behind him a legislature so
strongly Progressive that he will
probably have little difficulty carry
ing out the policies inaugurated by
Johnson.

session of the legislature will fall
to Stephens.
SKI CHAMPION MAY
BREAK OWN RECORD

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS. Colo.,
Feb. 28. With Ragnar Omtvedt,
present holder of the world's record;
Lars and Anders Haugen, of Chip
pewa Falls, Wis.; Henry Hall, of
Michigan, and other famous ski Jump
ers on the ground to participate In
the professional contests, the Steam
boat Springs fourth annual ski tour
nament opens here tomorrow.
Omtvedt, who established the
world's record for ski Jumping 192
feet, 9 inches over this course a
year ago, declares there is no course
in America, nor has he seen one In
Europe which permits speed equal
to the Colorado course. He expects
to break his own record of last year
when he goes on the course in the
professional events, scheduled for
Friday.
The Steamboat Springs course this
year will be 900 feet long, with, a
forty-eight per cent incline and a ver
tical drop of 106 feet where the
Jumping takes place. ,

Flour is well In advance of last
year's prices, both wholesale and re
tail, and brands which 12 months
ago retailed for J 1.40 now bring
(2.20 a sack, and wholesale quota
tions on brands put out by the Bund
Flour Mills, will average 18.15 a
barrel. A. J. Kroenert, of the flour
company, states that in spite of this,
flour is relatively the cheapest com
modity on the market today, when
the advance of other staples is con
sidered.
Root Vegetables High.
Little change is noted in the price
of cereals, although the grocers are
paying more, and the same holds
true of condensed milk. Fresh milk
-has shown no- change although the
cost of producing has advanced,
. Cabbages, onions, and all root
crops, are nearly out of sight, and
will presently become totally so, but
seasonal scarcity is the chief cause
for this. Beans have made a 50 per
cent gain over the ten cent price of
1916, and butter at 45 cents, is five
cents ahead of last year's mark.

"The House of Lies," the Morosco
Paramount photoplay, coming to the
Bend Theatre Thursday and Friday
nights, brings forth this problem:
Edna Coleman Is the step-daughter
of a society matron who candidly ex

daughter's beauty in the marriage
mraket. The marriage market with
Its shallow veneer of modern dress
and modern manners but with an
amazing similarity of spirit to the
old "slave market,' 'only perhaps a
little competion.
What will the socially restricted
debutante do when she finds it Is to
the handsome young dramatist that
she is to be displayed? To the one
she prefers to meet, above all others.
What will his opinion be of her whom
he meets in this manner?
But there is a way that sets all the
tangle right and Edna Goodrich, play
ing the starring role, finds that only
in a great sacrifice is the clear path
that leads to happiness.
