He had been a sick man for the past yer, but his great energy and love for business activity has kept his familiar face at the Cashier's desk in the office of the First Na tional Bank most of the time. A few weeks ago Mr. Conser's condition was such that he decided to go to Portland for medical treat ment in the hopes of regaining his health.

Not getting any relief he decided that he would rather be at home among his friends than among Btranger?, and came back to Hepp ner. fie was able to be on the Btreets for a dny or so, but rapidly grew worse until death ended his suffer ing Tuesday morning. Daring all his life, Mr. Conser was an active and hard working man. He was born in Marion county, Oregon, November 23, 1854, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob uonser, ot Jenerson, wno were early Oregon pioneers, having crossed the plains in 1848. Lie was educated in the public schools of this state and atter start ing for himself worked at railroad work on the Southern Pacific and clerk in a store in his native town. Coming to Eastern Oregon he first located at Alkali, now known as Arlington, where he was chief clerk in a large general merchan dise store. While in Gilliam coun ty he was elected treasurer of that county. Coming to Heppner nineteen years ago last October, Mr. Conser accepted a position as Cashier of the Fir6t National Bank of Hepp ner. TLrs position which was filled with great success and credit was still held by him at the time of his death. During the Heppner flood. Mr. Conser aud his wife miraculously escaped drowning, being carried away in his beautiful home which was dashed to pieces in the angry waters. He was the chief owner and pro moter of the Willow creek coal mines, aud he was greatly inter ested to see this valuable property developed. Mr. Conser was married toLillie L., daughter of C. A. Khea, on December 3, 1SS9. nis wife, three brothers and two sisters survive him. He was a member of the Ma sons, O. E. S., B. P. O. E. aud A. O. U. W. The fuueral today was the largest ever beld in this connty, the number of persons attending being estimated at 1500. The services were witheld until after the arrival of tthe train which carried Rev. Orr and a large num ber of people. ' , "Come West and raise hogs!" will soon be the Oregon Boosters' appeal to the farmers of the East. It is not a friv olous appeal, but one which, followed with proper devotion and Enterprise will make a man rich as sure aa night follows day. v The building of a mammoth $3,500,000 packing plant by the Swifts, a large one by Armours, location of smaller plants bv the Cudahys, the Hammonds and others, who will inevitably come to Ptland to protect their own interests, will,' within a few vears, mean a com plete revolution of the livestock industry of On gon p.nd the whole Northwest. The men who ore now engaeed in prelimi nary, work on the Peninsula packing plant give very good reasons why this is so, and why hundreds of thousands of dollars that are now beinp poured into the pockets of Middle West livestock growers can be left right here in Oregon with the farmers; how, also, the differ ential oi cents a pound paid to the railroads lor hauling can be added to these ether thousands of dollaie. It will take years for Oregon and the Northwest to make the most of the op portunities presented in this class of trade, but evenjiow the Oregon li vestoch men have not the slightest realisation of the chances they are overlooking. The proposed industrial development that willresult from the erection of huge packing plants here has been too large a proposition for them to grasp, aud it is evident that many of them are still skeptical. Some figures bearing npon the present livestock situation, particularly the hog- raising industry, supplied to the Evening Telegram by President C. C. Colt, of the union Meat Company, and local repre sentative of the Swifi interests, sbonld bring the livestock men face to face with opportunities now in their grasp. According to President Colt, the farm ers of Oregon and Washington are not raising half enough hogs to take care of even the local market, to say nothing of developing any other. That is one rea son why the Swifts will not build a ca pacity plant until the livestock situation strengthens materially. At present looal packers cannot buy live hogs in quantities, large enough for the present consumption. Because of this, the local packers are buying live hogs in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illiuois and Missouri at the rate of from 50,000 to $75,000 a month for the Portland trade alone. Add the Tacorua and Seattle business to this, and the sura of money that leaveB the Northwest each month to to into the hands of Eastern farmers is increased to from 8125 000 to $150,000. For a whole year the figures are even more astounding, for they mount up to $1,800,000 or $2,000,000, and every cent of this is slipping through, the fingers of the hograisers of Oregon. And yet this is only a drop in the bucket to what will be needed when the packers begin iheir campaign of invasion of the Orient and the Far North. The ;intold millions of Japanese, Chinese, Coreans, Manchmians and even of far Siberia use enormous quantities of pro visions, and the Pacific coast will, when the time comes, be rea ly to supply this enormous trade fur more satisfactorily than it is now being taken care of. Hut the question cannot be solved u til the packers get the livestock. Going back to the heavy livestock bus iness that is even r,ow being done with the Central Western states by local packers,' there is another element that Oregon farmers are sadly overl ooking. The railroads charge a ireight rate of x. cents per pound for every live hog ship ped into this territory. At this rate the monthly freight bill for shipments to Portland, Taeoma and Seattle is close to $5000 every month, or $60,000 a year. "We would be only too glad to give Oregon farmers this differential," said President Colt yesterday, "if we coulJ only convince them that they are over looking one of the easiest ways of mak ing money in the whole country. Oregon hograisers might just as well have the hundreds of thousands, yes, million i of dollars that are being paid to livestock men of the Middle Western states for the II The only Baking Ponder mzk jggfiilSg II with Royal jSraps Cream of Tartar pr ' -- VI Insures healthful and i deIicious food for every m) ! ards yonr oodasf hogs on foot, and the thousandsot dollars extra that we pay the railroads for freight. The people of the Northwest do not realize what the coming of the big packing plants means to the country, and y u can't even persuade them. Take it right, we are bidding $5 85 for live hogs, and thedemand issostrongthat wecan't get anywhere near enough to supply the present market. The demand will con tinue to be strong, and we will ba com pelled to B t our live hogs from the East and take all thjs money out of circula tion here until the farmers wake up. "Tbe price of live hogs has stiffened materially within the last few weeks. Not so long ago we could get all we wanted at $5 25 to $5.50. but the have ad vanced 3.1 cents just lately. VwIi perhaps isn't proper for me to criticise the farm ers but they are certainly overlooking a good bet. Thev, for the most part, in sist on killing and dressing theit own hogs, Bnd shipping them to the commis sion men here. They have to pay the commission men 5 per cent, aid the freight is also deducted, and they net less for them than they would if they sold them on foot, and this does not include the time and labor. As long as the far mers kill and dress their hogs, it cuts hb out of the deal entirelv, for under the rules of Government inspection, we can buy hogs only on foot." What is true of the hog market is also true of the sheep market. Local Npack- ers are obliged to call on Montana, Idaho and Dakota for their livestock, while there are some of the finest sheep ranges in the countro right in Eastern Oregon. Tiie great question for the Oregon far mer to stttle is whether he will plug along as he has been for years, or will wake up to a realizing sense of the great opportunities that are now lying right at his doo". Pecay in Woods. Hordes of hoboes are passing northward through valley towns. Qaite a number of new buildings are being built in Xewberg at the present time, says the Enterprise, aud the indications are that there will be fully as much building done this year as there was last, with prospects for at least two and probably three good bricks. Beet seed planting will begin next week, says the La Grande Star, iu three places north of Island City, east of La Grande, and at Union. The superintendent says the condition of the fields could not be better, aud uuder usual conditions a fine crop is looked for. The acreage this sea son will considerably exceed that (of last year and will approximate 3,000 acres. Marshfield News: The hotel ru mor is with us once more, and now it is said that MhrehfieM is to have two fine hotels. It used to be tha same way about a railroad, aud knowing ones said when we'd get one we'd get two We haven't got one yet, but a few tons of hay were purchased in Paradise valley near Scottsburg which leads us to be lieve that one of the roads is com ing this year sure, and of emme the other isn't far off. With two railroad?, two new hotels, and the arrival of the Nan Smith, what more could we ask? The Department of Agriculture i.as is sued through the forest s-ervice a circular j on the subject ol "Decay in Woods," in j which a strong plea is nia 'e for tho tine ' of preservation treatment. On the act ual saving in dollars and cents tinouh this me'hod the fenc- pot i selected as one of the examples. "Tie pt," says the circular, "is of loblally pine, and cost-i, untreated, about S cent?, or, including t'te cost of setting, 14 cents., li lasts about two years. Compounding ' interest at 5 per cent the annual charge of such a post is 7.53 cents ; that is, it costs 7 53 cents a year to keep the post in service. Preservative treatment cost ing 10 cents will increase its length of life to about IS years. In this ease, the total cost of the post, set, is 24 cents, which, compounded at 5 per cent, gives an annual charge of 2 04 cents. Ttit-.s the saving due to treatment is 5 4'cent a year. Assuming that there are 200 posts a mile, there is a saving each year for every mile of fence of a sum equiva lent to the interest on $219 60." Herpner Li'iUe Xn, F. P.
