This land, which has been with drawn from all forms of entry, is along the shores of the John Day and Deschutes rivers, in Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam. Wheel er and Crook counties, and is designated as only suitable for gracing purposes. The withdrawal of these lands was for power purposes in con nection with the Umatilla and John Day projects, so far as they relate to the pumping of water on hinds that cannot be reached by gravity and which features of the project are not under Imme diate consideration by the depart ment mid may not be for a pum- 1 must rales money to pay for her of years.

Hut the population was growing ir. those five years. One Western expert says that since 1900 tho beef cattle supply has been reduced by 28 per cent, while the increase of population lias been about 25 per cent. Prices have risen in obedience to the law of supply and demand. Decrease of supplies has cut down our exports. Only 8&000 cattle were exported last year, their value boing about $!1,000,000 The number exported in 1911 was 104,000, valued at $14,000, (HX), and a Btoady decline is shown since 1904, when 599,000. or $41. 000,000 worth were shipped. There has been an increase of inqiorts. Last year, more than .100,000 cattle wen- brought into the country, but only 1(5. 000 were imported in 1904.

Such ligures as these must be taken into account when the cause of the increase of the cost of beef is sought. Blue Mt. Kagle. A Wizard's Philosophy. How Much You Give?

The latest is to Use Nyals Stone the effect that Senator Geo. for the kidneys. is to resign, in which case Olcott would become Gov', as well as secretary of state, drawing a double salary, and he will ap point West U. S. Senator to suc ceed Chamberlain. Isn't that a (ombination? It makes good reading and gives people some thing to talk about, besides, in eidentally, giving the enemies of the men suggested in the combi nation an opportunity to say mean things about them.

PARCEL POST Build Up Your Own Town And Community By Purchasing Your Goods at Home Inasmuch as we are expected to compete with large Eastern Houses, who sell for cash only, we are obliged to stick pretty close to the cash system, for in no other way can prices of houses who see your money before they wrap up the goods, be met on equal terms. Now, you have a big department store right at home and the rate is much less from Burns than from Chicago. For instance a 10 lb. package will cost $1.10 from Chicago, while from Burns it cost you but 14 cts. Quite a difference, ain't it?

He shut himself in his laboratory, with his assistants, where master and men did enough cooking to keep soul and body together, and snatched a little sleep on the benches or floor. One of the younger men became exhausted and left. The others, Mr. Edison included, saw the forty days through. He ave raged less than three hours' Bleep in the twenty-four, and that in naps on the lloor. lie came out of the wilderness, alive well, vig orous, cheerful, and the improv ed phonograph was a fact. If ever there was a man who believed in continuous, unbroken worK, undisturbed by the suc cession of day and night, he is Edison. He says that this exploit was nothing unusual with him, and he commends his oxerience to others. He declares that all men eat too much. He literally eats to live, and for no other reason, since eating has for him no plea sure. Ih' believes that t h S eight hours for sleep is nothing but a superstition. He linds four hours a sufficiency, partly be cause he falls into deep dream less sleep the moment his head is on the pillow, lie has tried then to think, but fails, because a minute suffices him to go to .sleep. It took fifteen years to convert Mrs. Edison. But for seven years she has followed in her husband's steps, and has, he says, thereby retained her youth at 47, and is believed to be a sister to her 22-year-old daughter when she walks abroad and her pho tograph verifies his words. Exchange. Representative Graves' bill providing for a tax levy of 1--JU of a mill for eounty fairs will re ceive the favorable report of the house committee on fairs and ex positions. An amendment will be made, however, fixing the maximum amount that may be used for a county fair to $10,000. the surplus to be distributed equally among the other counties whose levy does raise this amount.
