Heath & Walton KEAL ESTATE Timber Locations a Specialty ' Farm Lands, Stock Ranches. IIEPrNER, - OREGON STOCKMEN REST EASY Lots of Hay and Light Feeding. Snow Has Been. of Great Benefit to Both Stockmen ana Farm ers ood Feeding Weatber. That the stock outlook in Morrow county was never brighter, is an assured fact. The winter so far has been an open one and but little feeding has been required. Great stacks of hay are yet untouched and it will leqaire a great deal of feeding to place the stockmen in any kind of danger. Mike Kinney, who has been a resident of Morrow county for twenty-eight years, and who has been engRged in the stock business during his residence, says that he never saw a brighter outlook for all kinds of stock at this time of year than at the present. Mr.. Kinney has large stock interests in the SaDd Hollow section, owning large ranches, running two bands of sheep and a large bunch cf cat tle. Mr. Kirjney says: "My cat tle are in fine condition, and I have only Jost four head of sheep out of 3800 head sinca bringing my bands from the mountains the first of October." Joseph Hayes, of the firm of Hftyeeavfe Son, who operate a large rancnon Butter creek, informs a Gai.a7ic reporter that their two bands of sheep were never better at this time of year and that the recent snow is of a great benefit to stockmen. Mr. Hayes eavs that the sheep eat their hay better and that it also gives the grass a rest. Pat Carty, better known as 'Con,' who runs two large bands of sheep on the Jas. Carty range in the Strawberry locality, says that the snow has not been so deep in his locality, but he is feeding and that his sheep were never in better con dition at this time of year. Snow has fallen on the Heppner fiat country to a depth of Fix inches and the farmers are rejoicing over the fact of this much needed mois ture. The recent snow fall has been in general all over the county and ba fallen to an average depth of six inches. Stockmen and farm ers are a unit in proclaiming a prosperous future for their respect ive industries for the coming year.

Oregon's greatest individual industrial plant is to be the extensive packing house establishment to be erected by Swift & Company on the Peninsula, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. The removal of all obstacles which have up to the present time interfered with the inauguration cf constructive work, particularly in the matter of lailroad connections, means that hundreds of men will be given em ployment on the big tract now owned by the Chicago beef barons within the next 50 i ays. Unless there is some hitch the two rival transportation companies will put gang of men to work pushing their ex tensions out toward Packingtown site within the next 30 days. Within tw o or three weeks from that time, or by the middle of April or the first of May, there will be unparalleled activity on the Pen insula. tIi is cfficfally announced by Swift rep resentatives that the aggregate payroll covering tbe building of the great central packing establishment of the Northwest, during the 12 months that will be le quired to complete it, will be in excess of $1,000,000 and w ill more likely reach $1,250,000. By ttye same authority it is estimated that the amount of money ex pended by trie two raUroad systems in lappi'g the Packingtown district wjth extensions and sidetracks will net run below an , additional $250,000, so that theie is bound to4se a wondtvtul "open ing up" in the labor market within the nc-xt few months in this field alone , . .,, , K.ih'v a-ke-.t !! at r.o Swift & lompanv will, as eoon as the , . plant i i completed, give employment to ; jnst.a.l tlic iViVms; i about 1C00 men and women in all de partments cf their es.ablisnment. When the plant is in full operation the number of people will aggregate not less than 1500. To take care of this vast army of toilers, the Swift people plan a complete townsite and residence district for their employes, with all modern improvements and institutions common to communities of that size, it being estimated that this one plant will be the eventual support of a population of at least 5000 people.
