W. F. Hissncr has faith in the

tent that he has purchased tho
Red Front barn property, one of
the be3t corners in the city, with
50 ft front on Main street, 200
ft on the south street and 50
ft on ! irst street. The proper
ty is covered almost entirely with
a building but this will be remod
eled and made up into store and
office rooms to suit tenants on
ground floor while the second
floor will likely be fitted up into
furnished rooms or hall purposes
for the present
Mr. Hissner will be governed
by the applicants for rooms in
such changes as he contemplates
for the next two weeks. This
will determine his course. The
cntiro building will be changed,
tho old roof torn off and new
floors and proper fronts on tho
side street arranged.
The consideration was in tho
neighborhood of $6,000 and with
tho improvements contemplated
it will bo made one of tho most
valuable blooks in the city.
Other building operations are
contemplated along the business
section of Burns that will add
materially to tho city during the
season. It is time that such im
provements are made. Burns

Thcro is a tendency among

of tho very backward cold spring
and to give the impression that
no other section has such draw
backs. Supt Gilcrest of the P. L. S.
Co. came Tuesday evening from
Winncmuccn after an extended
tour over tho Novnda and parts
of tho California ranches of his
company. Mr. Gilcrest sayB that
some of their most favorable
alfalfa ranches nre so backward
and the alfalfa so badly frozen
that he has ordered his men to
cut it at onco in order to get tho
injured shoots out of tho way
that tho second growth may bo
given an opportunity to make a
crop. In this way his company
expects to get ono crop where in
ordinary years they get two
crops.

That tho organization of tho
Portland Cattle Loan Company,
in Portland will result in doub
ling tho number of livestock
shipped lothismnrkot-within the
next threo years is tho belief of
tho Portland bankers who arc in
terested in tho company says the
Journal.
"Mr. Mills, Mr. Ludd and my
self wero loath to take stock in
the company when first approach
ed upon the subject some months
ago," said .1. C. Ains worth, of
the United States National Hank,
"but after investigating the
operations of these companies in
the cattle feeding territory in
the east we became convinced
that such a concern is absolutely
necessary to the proper develop
ment of tho livestock industry in
Oregon and Washington. There
is no doubt that it will result in
mnking Portland one of the larg
est livestock centers in tho coun
try." Tho corporation will havo a
paid in capital of $100,000, con
siderable more than half of which
was subscribed by tho Swifts of
Chicago. J. C. Ainsworth, A.
L. Mills and W. M. Lndd nre the
load directors and will have im
mediate control of all loans. Mr.
Ainsworth said this morning that
ho now realizes that tho lack of
money by tho cattlemen with
which to feed livestock hnd been
a serious drawback to tho proper
growth and development of the
livestock industry in the north
west '' Heretofore," said Mr. Ains
worth, "a cattleman in eastern
Oregon, who is only able to ship
to Portland one carload of beof
cattle a year will now bo able to
double his shipment as tho result
of his being able, to get tho nec
essary money at n low rate of in
icresi to ouy iced, rnc samo
condition exists with the sheep
and hog men. We nro prepared
to loan $1,000,000 if necessary to
tho livestock raisers in eastern
Oregon and eastern Washing
ton." Cattle loan companies arc es
tablished institutions in the big
feeding centers adjacent to
Omaha, Kansas City, St; Louis,
Fori Worth and other livestock
centers. They nro profitable in
stitutions, nearly nil of thorn pay
ing eight por cent or moro in
dividends. Tho plan of opera
tions adopted by theso companies
in tho east will bo followed by
tho Portland company; that is
tho banks will loan to tho cattle
loan company money required by
tho cattlo feeders at G per cent,
nnd tho compnny will in turn loan
to tho feeders at an advanco of
in tho near future according to
the following from the Oregon
inn. Should Mr. Hill route this
tour it is certain that Burns will
bo visited nnd wo should sco that
these business men have an
urgent nnd hearty invitation to
visit the big Harney County.
The Oregonian says:
A business men's nuto tour
through Central Oregon, as sug
gested by Iniis W. Hill, presi
dent of the Great Northern, on
his last visit to Portland, is be
ing looked upon with favor and
it is probable that plans for the
proposed excursion will crysta
lize into definite shape within
tho coming month. The Portlnnd
Commercial Club and tho Port
land Automobile Club arc two
organizations that are giving the
matter attention, believing that
such a tour would result in creat
ing a strong business relation
ship between Portlnnd nnd tho
interior country.
C. C. Chapman publicity man

Club, and W. .1. Clemens, presi
dent of the Portland Automobile
Club, will have charge of the
details of the trip. Thoy an

and good roads advocates would
be hold early next month to dis

sion. Mr. Hill has advised The Ore
Rouinn that he will bring a party
of railroad men to Portland to
accompany the excursionists.
Ho himself will enter a car ml
