TT 7TT T TT JLJl W Jfi ' Republican For U. S. SENATOR f - 'I 'JiMBjljlf' The strongest opposition to Fred Steiwer is found in the democratic party.

Nothing is further from the truth. Steiwer's enemies are doing every thing in their., power to shatter the Treat strength of public approval s that is back of Steiwer. They fear shim. They know they cannot de f feat him in the general election. Steiwer, will be a credit to Ore gon in the United States Senate. He is clean, energetic, capable and regressive.

The demand for saddle horses is as great as it has been at any time in the last 50 years. Stockmen assert there also is an increasing demand for commercial horses and farm mules. Furthermore, prices of mules and certain types of horses are ad vancing and there is an actual short age on the market. The value of business transacted last year "in the ring" at the East St. Louis barns was estimated at $9,000,000, representing 65,432 head of horses and mules This was an increase of 1324 head over 1924. The outlook this year is for greater trad ing. Farm mules are still being used in preference to tractors throughout the south and in many northern and western states, dealers , say. The in creased demand for commercial horses is attributed to large business concerns in cities having discovered that use of horses for short hauls is more economical than trucks. The principal displacement of hors es has been by passenger automo biles. . CATTLE RUSTLERS BUSY Cattle rustling in the foothills of Klamath and Lake counties has cost stockmen thousands of dollars in the last few months and was the incen tive for a meeting of peace officers. Bands of thieves working from Bend, in central Oregon, to Alturas, in northern California, have been killing and butchering stock on the range and apparently disposing of their stolen beef in some as yet un known market.

ALLEN BELL DRAYMAN Phone 24 Transfer and Express Prompt Service Dealer in ICE Starfield Fighting to Develop Resources of Oregon K ) - v Ik U. S. Senator Robert N. Stan field maintains that the natural resources of Oregon belong to the people of Oregon, and he is leading the fight to establish Oregon's right to use the re venues from these resources to develop the state and material ly reduce taxes. Grazing Kill Entering Wedsre Stanfield's Grazing Bill, which has been unanimously recom mended for passage by the Sen ate Committee on Public Land3 Stanfield, Chairman), is the jrst step toward restoring con trol to Oregon of the revenues from its resources. Secretary Work, Department of the Inte rior, pronounces the bill "a con structive measure which will result in definite and positive benefits to the livestock indus try, and will permit the use of the public lands by both small and large livestock raisers." Stanfield for Port and Shipping U. S. Senator McNary wired Bert Anderson, republican county chairman of Jackson County, on May 4: "Senator- Stanfield, chairman of the Senate Public Lands Commit tee, has conducted hearings and given much of his time to Oregon and California grant lands tax bill. I AM ASSISTING HIM IN EVERY WAY I CAN. I am busy assisting in the hearings before the Senate Commerce Committee on the attempted sale of the Orient al line by the Shipping Board to the Dollar interests. SENATOR STANFIELD IS ASSISTING ME IN EVERY WAY HE CAN." Stanfield Comes to Rescue of the Farmer The passage of the emergency tariff bill on May 27, 1921, placing protective duties on 28 of the principal farm products, was due large ly to the insistent efforts of Senator Stanfield. On May 20, 1921, the Stanfield bill was introduced for financial re lief of agricultural banks and loan companies, through the War Fin ance Corporation. The main features of this measure became law as a part of the Norris bill August 24, 1921, and Oregon banks, trust and loan companies that serve agriculture received $6,696,000 under its terms. Working for Oregon's Reclamation Projects Senator Stanfield favors active continuation of the reclamation of Oregon's arid lands until every irrigable acre is reduced to cultiva tion and production. He is working in full accord with his colleague, Senator McNary, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Irrigation, and with Representative Sinnott, Chairman of the same committee in the House, in reclamation legislation. The Oregon Senators won out in their contention that financial aid to settlers should be provid ed by the Government and the Interior Department, in March 1926, agreed to use $500,000 of the reclamation fund for the purpose of making experimental loans to settlers on certain selected projects over a period of three years.
