The Gazette believes that W. R
Jkilis is better tmed to represent
the people of Oregon in Congress
than any other man in the race in
the second district. Especially is
this true in reference to Eaoteru
Oregon.

A systematic campaign against
aheep infected with scabies iu Cal
ifornia will eoon be commenced by
the state veterinarian of that com
naonwealth, by and with approval
tf the governor, who has issued a
proclamation to the effect that all
f the 6heep there must be dipped
between March 15 and July 15
Best, and all premises where sheep
are kept must be cleaned and dis
infected. The affected sheep must
be dipped twice within nine days
and the healthy sheep once. This
work has been gone over and com
pleted in Oregon and the benefit to
the sheep industry therefrom would
be hard to estimate.

In the passiug of J. A. Woolery
a vigorous, active and useful life
was cut short
His successful career from the
very bottom round of the ladder
stands as a monument on which is
inscribed something that if studied
and absorbed by tbe youn men
starting in business and also the
older ones already in business, will
be of great and lasting beuefit.
Joe Woolery was ambitious.
Not being content with the drag
and routine of the little farm in old
Missouri, his ambition led him to
tbe West.
Coming to Morrow county when
a young man, fresh from the firm,
bis capital consisted of muscle and
earnestness in application. Sheep
herder, rancher, merchaut, capital
ist and investor, Mr. Woolery
backed bis judgment with all his
force and energy. Reverses were
brushed away, never knowing the
meaning of tbe word fail.
In building up his own vast in
terests, bis band was always out
for the public good.
Unselfish, be helped to build up
tbe community along with his own
interests.

. We thick the country merchant
lias the riybt idea about his farmer
rustomers. lie knows that ha de
pends upon them for trade and that
they depend upon him for goods
and a market. This is mutual and
the 'feeling between tbe two classes
should be one of friendship and
good will. It is mutual depend
ence. Yet there are thoee who de
light fo stir up enmity between the
farmer and the country merchant.
They do it from ultprinr motives,
but the farmer doesn't know it.
We know of do ren edy save to get
as close to tbe agriculturist as you
can. Talk with him, show him you
are interested in his success, and
make him see the true relationship
between himself and you. Oregon

Theln'and Empire Wheat Grow
ers' Association held their annual
meeting at Pendleton, last Satur
day. Tb repoi ts submitted at the
meeting bhow a very satisfactory
condition of affairs, the original
stock now being worth 100 per
cent more than at the organization
of the association. In speaking of
the association the East Oregonian
says: "All expenses have been
paid, about 400,000 grain sacks
have been purchased and distribu-
ieu 10 me memoers anu mere re
mains SHOO on hand in the treas
ury. The members are pleased
with the ie.-ult of their sack pur
chases by meaDS of the competitive
system as a great .saving has been
accomplished in this way. The
coming year promises to be better
than ever and the association is
now on a pt-rmaneat and substan
tial basis. The membership prom
ises to be greatly increased and tbe
sack purchase-j for next harvest
will more than double, according
to the prospects cow." How about
that organization in Mcrrow coun-
The last legislature of Oregon
passed a law requiring the secre
tary of state to send out printed
copies of the initiative measure be
fore the people to every voter in
the state, thus giving the state
printer work which justly belongs
to the newspapers of the state.
Before the legislature passed this
unreasonable measure the newspa
pers of the state printed the initia
tive and referendum measures and
thus the measures reached the vo
ters in an attractive and readable
form. The cost to the state was
insignificant, compared to the ser
vice rendered by the newspapers.
With over 200 papers in the state
of Oregon, every voter in the state
could be easily reached through
this medium, but that the state
printer's enormous income might
be further increased, the legislature
ecided that the newspapers of the
state are no good anyway, and so
they-were deprived of this little
mite of state advertising.
The work of printing and distri
buting 100,000 coptes of tbe initia
tive measures before the people
this year will cost tbe taxpayers
three times as much as though the
same work was performed by tbe
newspapers and the publicity
through the papers would have
been much greater than under the
present system. East Oiegonian.
