defeat Jonathan Bourne at the
polls at tin com in election in

very likely thit it would please
the East Oregoniai to elect a
Democrat Will the Republicans
of Oregon elect a Democrat?
What a josh.
Morrow county with an area
of 'erritory large enough for a state
and with a population over 5,000
people and miking a rapid growth,
i lare enough and old enough to
demand, or at least have the right
to expect 6ome recognition in
the Oregon legislature. We are
not allowed even one representa
tive of our own. It is true that
wethave a joint representative with
UmUUla but we are getting urea
of being the tail of oui big neigh
bor. All we can do is to wag
when Umatilla wants to give us a
little flop, but we are too inde
pendent for that. Morrow county
ia going to ask for recognition at
the next session of the legislature.
MIKERIKU BY MACHINERY
Morrow County's Ural Plant Now
In Operation.
The creation of forest reserves
by the government will solve the
range problem in Eastern Oregon
which has been a source of much
contention for many years. De
velopment of the country naturally
means the contraction of the public
doiniin. The fict that range con
traction is traveling at a much
faster pice than the reduction of
flocks has caused friction among
the stockman which can only be
settled by the government taking
hold of the matter. The recent
creation of the Blue mountain re
6erve present ea condition that is
new to the stockmen of Morrow and
adioiuin counties. As to future
developments iu relation to stock
interests there is a difference of
opinion among the sheepmen of
this county, however, all realize
the necessity of some supervision
over the range in order to preserve
it. The results of the system now
being inaugurated by the govern
meat will ultimately be of great
benefit to the stock interests in
general. There will be certain
rules and regulations giving every
man a fair and equal chance.
These rules will be strictly en
forced by the rangers in charge,
It will be the aim of the govern
ment to harmonize interests in
common and there is already a
tendency shown to recognize or
ganizitions of stockmen. The
stockmen themselves can do much
by organization and agreement
whereby rights of individuals are
recognized and all can share
equally in the distribution of the
grass. Morrow county people
were well pleased with the meet
ing at Pendleton. The stockmen
were impressed with the evidence
of fairness which characterized
every action of the supervisor on
the part of the government.

N. S. Whetstone's machine sheep
shearing plant which was started
on the first of the month is attract
ing considerable attention and is
being watched with interest by
Morrow county sheepmen. This
is something new to the sheepmen
of this county and naturally is the
cause of considerable comment
both favorable aud unfavorable.
While simeofthe sheep growers
are not inclined to favor the new
method, still a mnjority are of the
opinion that the machine will
ultimately take the place of hand
shearing which must eive way to
the advantages of modern macbin
ery the same as in other lines of in
duutry.
Since starting on Mr. Whet-
0
stone has been working at disad
vantaee. owiner to the fact the
shearers are inexperienced with
the machinery and meet with diffi
culty in operating the machines.
Last Sunday a number of Hepp
ner people went out to Mr. Whet
stone's place to watch the opera
tion of the shearing machinea
The plant consists of 12 machines,
power being furnished by a five
horse gasoline engine. The ma
chine is a simple arrangement ar
ranged on the plan of ordinary
barber's clippers. The knives are
operated through long arms com
ins down from the main shaft
which is driven at high speed.
The arms to which the knives are
attached are arranged with two
joints making them flexible so
that they can be easily adjusted to
the different movements necessary
in getting over the surface of the
sheep's body. The plant was in
stalled at a cost of about $1,200.
The shearers while they are all
experienced men with hand shears
have not been able to turn off as
many sheep as they could by hand
owing to the fact that tbey are not
acquainted with the work.
In speaking of the operation of
the machines, Mr. Whetstone said: j
"1 have for some time been im
pressed with the machinea. The
proposition cannot help but be a
success, wnen a man once learns
to operate one of these machines,
he laughs at the idea of hand
shearirg.
"There are many advantages
over nana wort, ine macnine
takes practically all of the wool
from the sheep's back, doing better
work in tagging and in every way
than is possible to do by hand. It
is more humane and is easier on
both mm and sheep. Working
right down next to the skin every
tick is killed aod it takes off the
best and heaviest wool which is
nearest the body of the sheep."
Mr. Whetstone gets 12 cents per
head for shearing the sheep. He
furnishes everything with the ex
ception of the sacks and the corral
tenders. The shearers are paid
seven cents per head for operating
the machines.
Mr. Whetstone is well prepared
with sheds and has everything ar
ranged well for convenience in
operating the machines.
Practical tests have proven that
the machines take off fully one
pound more wool than can be
taken off by hand. This amount
of wool this year would more than
pay for the shearing of the sheep.
Jack Edwards of the Baldwin
Sheep and Land Company, who is
one or tne best authorities on
sheep in the country in conversa
tion with R. F. Hynd, of this city,
recently stated that after about 20
years' experience with machines
both in Orpgon and Wyoming,
that he would not alio his sheep
to be sheared by hand if the shear
era wouia ao tne woric free of
charge.
Mr. Whetstone has contracted to
shear in the neighborhood of 30,
000 head and is unable to handle
all of the sheep offered.

Shipping
and Shearing
Now Here.
Sea co u
Morrow 'county sheepmen s are
now busy. The shearing and
shipping season is here and it
will soon be time to commence to
take the flocks to the mountains
for summer range.
The first shipment will be com
menoed this week.
As a rule the sheep this season
are shearing a little light, caused
by the dry season. The woo
market is quite. Growers are
waiting for the sales days to (lis
pose of their clips.
The sheepmen of all the woo
prodacing states are certainly en
joying a year of great prosperity
this season. Prices are high
everywhere. In Arizona a sale
was recently made of 80,000
pounds for 23 cents per pound.
In Utah nearly all of the wool
has been contracted.

Hi's Suit and The Things That go With it
There are no h ird and fast rulej of fashion governing a man's dress
for bu8ineB wear. The Sack su't is the universal favorite, and
with it should be worn vest and trousers of the fame fabric as the
coat; a wing o-fold cl'ar, a four-in-hand orb wtie; black calf
skin shoes, buttoned or laced ; tan or gray gloves, and a black
derby tat. Fofi bosomed or nejigee shirts are largely favored by
reason of their greater comfort.
THE CHOICE OF YOUR SUIT
Let only one consideration influence your selection and let that be
Quality. Listen not to the "swan song" of the dealer who would
ask yo i to believe (hat he can sell you quality at the price of
shoddy. It may sound well, but it wont wear. Make sure that
there is quality inside and out. If ou "shop" around trying to
save a do lar or two, you may b? decived by a coat that has been
ctored into shape" by the hot flat-iron process. It wont stand
the test of dampness or wear.
BE ON THE SAFE SIDE
Select a mit that will wear and keep its shape unil you tire of it.
That's the kind we utter you in our "SINCKRITV CLOTHKS"
the kind with a reputation the kind that are not Flat-iron Doped.
They are folly guaranteed as to quality. In point of style, the
clothes speak for themselves.
