CORPORATIONS.
The President's recent mes
sage to congress shows his even
temper of mind and clear dis
crimination in pointing out the
way to regulate the great cor
porations of the present day so
as to make them useful to the
people and supervise their opera
tions as to eliminate the harmful
results to the public which may
occur where there is no regula
tion. An occasional enthusiast
construes the president's earnest
recommendations as pointing to
ward an implied threat to favor
goverment ownership, while the
public utterances of the Presi
dent before and since his election
has pointed against government
ownership and in favor of strict
"supervision and regulation. Gov
ernment ownership of corpora
tions means that all the great en
terprises of the country shall be
carried on and operated by the
government thus eliminating all
private ownership in any of the

country where they become too

DESTROYING SHEEP.
The killing of four thousand
head of sheep by sheepshooters
last spring in the Silver Lake
country followed soon after by
the murd er of Creed Conn, the Sil
ver Lake merchant, whose knowl
edge of the shooting of the sheep
the criminals feared would bring
them to justice, is brought vivid
ly to mind when the newTs of a
similar occurrence is chronicled
in Central Oregon. Recent news
from Prineville states that six
thousand head of sheep slaugh
tered, of an approximate value
of $2,000, without a single in
dictment by the grand jury, is
the record of the past season.
The same authority states that,
"The first organized bands of
sheepshooters were for the ex
press purpose of protecting the
range from so-called outside
sheep, their efforts have never
been directed at anything but the
apparent extermination of home
sheep, that all public range could
thus be conserved for the indi
vidual use of the cattleman to
exclusion of all "other kinds of
stock."
Is it possible that such condi
tions of wanton destruction of
property and murder, can con
tinue in any part of a civilized
country like the United States?
If it were in some countries pos
sibly not so free as ours, detec
tives would be put on the trail
of the criminals and they would
be placed in the penitentiary
where they belong. Mr. Conn
met his death because he was
supposed to have definite knowl
edge of the parties who did the
killing of sheep. In the locality
where the last 6000 sheep were
wantonly killed, law abiding
citizens are no doubt fearful of
losing their lives if they should
make any move to punish the or-
! ganized bands of criminals in
j killing the sheep industry, be-
it is claimed the cattle
kings, are the leaders of these
organized bands of outlaws. If
such is the case it follows that
the citizens of other parts of the
state should organize plans
which will result in hunting
down and punishing these crimi-
These occurences are a
disgrace to the fair name of Ore
gon. The law officers of the
state should take immediate steps
to purge Oregon of this disgrace.
It may be said that the officers
and law abiding citizens of the
to justice the criminals named.

Wo Cat o of Pneumonia onRecord.
We do not know of a single instance
in all our experience where a cough
or cold resulted in pneumonia or con
sumption when Foley's Honey & Tar had
been taken. It cures coughs and colds
perfectly, so do not take chances with
some unknown preparation which may
contain opiates, which cause constipa
tion, a condition that retards recovery
from a cold. Ask for Foley's Honey and
Tar and refuse any substitute offered.
Ton can, get it at Graham & Wortham'a.
