A rpokeBman for the Standird Oil
company t N w York stated today:
"The ad : inistration w shes to create
hosti ity to the Stan !ard Oil company
eo that a tr al will be superfluity. It 4"
intimida i n by pr c arnation. We wil
say nothing unt 1 the proceedings begin
We are not v orrying "
Attornei -General Moody's statement
is :
"After full consideration of all infor
mation now available, including the re
port of th3 commissioner of corpora
tions and the evidence taken by the
interstate commerce comtriiesion, I have
reached tbe conclusion that criminal
proceeding? against the Standard O.l
CDmjuny should be beun in certain
cases where there appears to have been
a violation ot the laws regulating inter
state commerce end prohibiting rebates
and other unlawful discriminations.
Accordingly such proceedings will be
begun at once in the appropriate judi
cial districts. Thpse cases are regarded
and will be tr ated as of importance,
"It eeea s clear that, insofar es the
Standard Oil company Las obtained
tnonopoli-tic control of interstate trade,
the control Lai been in large degree
made poeeib'e by discriminations in
transportation rates or facilities, the
discriminations being in soms cases in
vio'ation of the law, and in other cases,
though injurious to tte public welfare,
ut in violation of law, and theref jre
ibjtH't only to such correction as may
)3 uff ided by 'he railway ra'e legis
lation now pending in c ngress.
"The investigation will req ibe the
mt-iftance cf the d-partuneut and I have
employed a special counsel Frank B.
Keilogg of St. Paul, who was one of the
counsel for the government in the re
cently terminated Legation agvnst the
western paper organization, and Charles
B. Morrison of Chicago, now United
States attorney for the northern district

Umatilla county fa mers who liaye

growers' associati n, wid ta" up the
matter of starting jute mi!l in the
Oregon penitentiary for the purpose of
uruishin Oregon f rmers and Oiegon
6tockmen with grain and wool sacks at
reasonable prices.
With this in vie v a pe si'ent cam
paign for a jute mill w.ll ba started.
Oejon leg elotors will te enlisted and.
PALI'S Stiitiiueut . ill i e moused to iht
practicability if the scheme. The
exorbitant prices of sacks this season
has c use l farmers to tnink about self
protection, i cd the tta e jute mi 1 is the
wnly pr ctica. solutioi of the question.
The state of Washington has a jute
mill at the Walla Widla petmentinry ,
coating $7o,00'J with a capacity ol
SoJO sacks per day. The raw jute
crines from Calcutta, lief ire this year
the sacks from th" stute u ill have been
sold to W ashifij.ton farmers at $03 per
l'JOJ, or Ojj cents each, but this ytar on
acco;i:;t cf a tl:ihl incease in the cost
of the raw jute the price was advanc d
to ?S3 per 1000, or 820 less than the
refill ir mai ket price of sacks in 1'eLdie
to j and Walla Walla.
Toe Walla Wal a plant furnishes em
ployment for 100 convicts at a fair profit
to t la state and af.er paying tsll ex
penses the mill pays good interest on
thy investment besides furnishing
Was'jioiiton turners with graiu sacks at
2 C3nts bil.w market price. The
farmers and taxpayers of Washington
are wtll pleased wit'a the jute mill of
that Etate and Oreg m farmers will Uke
the Washington p!ant as a model for
some red'cal legislation next seseion of
the Oregon legislature.
Ileppucr forest Reserve.
The forestry ssrvice has notified
Senator F.nton ot its ictcntiou to create
ths Heppner forest ,eserve, along the
north of the John Day river, near Hepp
ner, to fmbrace ab mt 13 townships. A
map of the proposed reserve has been
submitted to the senator and he has
been asked 'o make any suggestions oi
desirable cianges in the boundaries,
lie will take up the matter with persons
living in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed reserya an 1 transmit their
views to the department.
The senator bus been assured that no
grazing charges will be impost d this
season for use of the range in the Hepp
ner, (ioos) L ike or Fremont reserves,
nor in any othe reserves that may be
created later this season. It is the in
tention of tie depaitmeut, however, to
impose a chi'te i ext season on all
reserves created this summer.
I Why Don't Homeseekei"5 Come To Morrow
County?
Morrow county produws more wealth per cspita than any other county in
the sute of Oregon. Our territory within county lines is 75 miles in length by 35
miles in widtn, large enough br a state, but with not enough population for a good
sizeu country village. Only tuuu people in the county.
fcvery year we grow aboat 1,000,000 bushels of wheat. This is worth about
W have about 225,000 bead of sheep worth about $562,000, after shearing
wi lis tae wool from these sherp will sell for 8360,000. Then there are horses and
ca'.Le wc.-tb et east a half a aillion more.
These are the main items In the wealth producers.
It don't take much figuring when you look at these figures to come to the
conclusion that Morrow count; people make some money. We have the soil, the
urn tie ana tue goods to make goo l.
Mn row county's climate i pleasant and healthful.
Morrow county people are prosperous. Morrow county people baye money.
Here in the town of Heppner ye have two banks. The First National in publish
ed ctateiiients shows deposits running from half a mil. ion dollars up. Both banks
have a big business. Heppner can show the largest bank deposits of any town of
its mzb in the Northwest, and it should ba remembered that Lexington, nine miles
awh.v, and lone, 18 miles from Heppner both have banks doine a eood business.
This looks like Morrow county peopla have money.
But look h ere, almost lulf the population of Morrow county reside in the
towns, f bis leaves only between 3,000 and 4,000 peoplo in a territory 75 miles in
length by 35 miles in wealth. Don't you think tbere is room for more people.
Ten or twelve years ago land in Morrow county went begging at from $100 to
230 fo. a quarter section.
Five years ago this land had looked up to $6.00 and $7.00 per acre. Today
this land is worth $15 per acre with a few of the choicest lots some times bringing
s-0 psr i.c.e. Now the old timers are wor.derine whv thev did not takn advanta
f tin? cheap land. They could have made a barrel of money.
Over ia the adjoining county of Umatilla wheat lands today are worth from
50 to $75 an acre. Ou tbe other side of us is Sherman county with wheat lands
selling from $25 up. Here we are between with just as good land land at $15 per
acre. Our lands are sure to go up in price. In a few years the people here wil'
ba again wondering why they did not buy some of this $15 land. Tbe proposition
is the same now as it was a few years ago, but it takes more money. Last year
and year before a number of good farmers bought wheat lands and paid for it
with tbe first crop.
Come to Morrow county and investigate this land business.
Following are a few samples of what we have for sale:

HEAVY SHEEP LOSSES.
Butte, June 22. Tohn P. Thomas, of
Anaoonda, i reside .t of tbe Montana
Pioneer association, who I as large
sheep interests in northern Montana,
arrived in Butte today, bringing word of
extensive looses o' sheep as the result
of the heavy flood in t e r orthern p rt
ot the state. Tbe storm, according to
Mr. Thomas, was the worst in the
history of the earliest settlers and
thousands of s' eep which had been
sheared perished from the col 1 ftl'ow
ing the storm. Several ftockmen lost
each as high as from 5000 to 10,000
sheep.
The los?,eas Mr. Thoma, ia offset
in a measure by the i.nmense amount
f good done the range by the rain, that
section of the country heretofire
resembling a desert. It is ;iov; as gieen
