CATERERS TO THE PUBLIC Itf GOOD THINGS TO EAT RUSH FOR RICH GRANT LANDS Polk County Citizens Stampede Southern Pacific Holdings. for The determination of Polk county citizens to get some of the Southern Paciflo's holdings in the vicinity of Dallas has not in the least abated. People are leaving that place each morning in hacks and carriages and even on foot to post notices ou the tim ber lands selected by them. They are merely goiug upon the chosen quarter section and posting a notice claiming they have made application to purchase that particular piece of ground, under the aot of congress creating the giant originally given to the company; that tbey are tona fide settlers and claim the prior right to purchase the land by r eason of posting notioes on the land. In some cases the "squatters" have cut four poles and laid the founda tion for a cabin, as under the old pre emption law. Some 200 locators are anxiously awaiting the result of the United States attorney-general's investigation of the railroad grant in Oregon, as announc ed in recent dispatobei. , In the meantime tbey are leaving nothing undone to be first ou the ground in case a ruling of the depart ment is made that is favorable to a reversion of the valuable timber land to the governmen t.

FARMERS ORGANIZE Local Union Meeting at Stam per School House. UNIONS FOR SHIPPING POINTS Organizer For National Farmers' ucational and Co-operative Union of America. Ed- E. N. McCaw, state organizer for the "National Farmers Educational aud Co operative Union of America,". orgauized a local Union at Stamper school house, north of Athena Friday night with a membership of 10. It is tbe intention of Mr. McCaw to organize a local Union in this city. ' Looal Uuiona of the national associ ation have been organized throughout the state of Washington and before snow flies, Mr. MoCaw says there will be one at every shipping point in Oie- gon. . The objects of the Co-operative Union are as follows. The preamble of tbe Constitution and by laws reads: "Speculators and those engaged in the distribution of farm produots have organized and operate to the great de triment of the farming class . To en able farmers to meet these conditions and protect their interests, we have orgauized the Farmers' Eduoational and Co-operative Union of America, and declare the following purposes: ' xo establish justioe. "To secure equity.- r ; "To apply the Golden Rule. "To discourage tbe credit and mort gage system. "To asist our members in buying and selling. "To educate tbe agricultural class iu scientific farming. "To teaoh farmers the classification of crops, domestio economy and the process of working. ; "To systemize methods of production and distribution. "To eliminate gambling in farm produots by Boards of Trade, cotton exchanges and other speculators. "To bring farmers up to the stan dard of other industries and business enterprises. . "To secure and maintain profitable aid uniform prices for grain, cotton, live stock and other produots of the farm. "To strive for harmony and good will among all mankind and brotherly love among ourselves. "To garner the tears of the distress ed, the blood of martyrs, the laugh of innocent childhood, the sweat of hon est labor and the virtue of a happy home as the brightst jewels known." SHEEPMEN MAKE A GUN TALK Threaten to Chase Sip Artists When They Come to Dip Flocks. Lane county farmers are protesting loudly against tbe new stock law which requires them to dip their sheep every year and to pay an inspector $5 a day and his expenses to do the work. Some have gone bo far as to declure tbat if the inspector comes on their premises they will meet him with a shotgun and order him off. Dr. J. Christie is the deputy state sheep inspector for that county. He recently caused portions of the law to be published in the local papers, and when the farmers became acquainted with its provisions he was warned by a number of them not to appear .ou their premises. In order to get tbe matter settled and to receive instructions as to the pro cedure to be taken, Dr. Christie sent for Dr. W. II. Lytle, state sheep in speotoi ; Dr. 8. W. MoCluro, federal iuspeotor, and E. N. Hutchinson of the bureau of animal industry to go to Eugene. They arrived to look over the grounds and found tbe farmers as hostile as Dr. Chi is tie represented. It appears tbat tbe new law wan framed expressly for eastern Oregon sbeepowners alone and the western Ore gon farmers who own a few head of sheep eaob were taken into account. Lane comity farmers cannot afford to pay an inspector to dip their sheep, as the wealthy owners of eastern Oregon can, and furthermore a large percent age of tbe sheep of the valley are iu perfectly heaithy oondition and do not need to be dipped. Messrs. Lytle, Hutchinson and Mo Clure thoroughly investigated condi tions here, and while there is no official announcement, it is said tbey have agreed to let those flocks wbioh are not affected go without dipping, but where it is found they are diseased the law must bo complied with.
