RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
Whereas, It has pleased God, in
His wisdom, to call from his earthly
labor our highly esteemed brother,
Septimus William Spencer, and
wnereas, Brother spencer was a
charter member of this lodge and for
many years faithfully and consistent
ly served this lodge as secretary, ex
alted ruler and trustee and in many
ways worked for the upbuilding ot
tho Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks, it is fitting and proper that
we, as Elks, make fraternal and
merited acknowledgment and record
of the high esteem and fraternal love
in which we hold him.
Resolved, That while we humbly
bow to the decree of the Exalted
Ruler of the Universe we are filled
with sorrow at the passing of our
brother.
Brother Spencer was a true Elk
and tho virtues and principles for
which the order stands were truly
exemplified in his daily life than
which no higher eulogy can be pro
nounced.
To the widow and other close rel
atives of our departed brother we
extend sincerest sympathy and con
dolence.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the rec
ords of this lodge, a copy be trans
mitted to the widow of the deceased
and copies be furnished the local
press for publication.

UNION PACIFIC OWNED
BY SMALL STOCKHOLDERS
Omaha, July 2. The Union Pa
cific System of railroads has 51,016
stockholders, according to a state
ment issued today by C. R. Gray,
President. Approximately 43 percent
of the stockholders are women and
most of the stockholders are persons
of moderate means, says Mr. Gray.
The average holding, according to
the statement, is 63 shares of a par
value of $100 each. No one person,
firm, corporation or institution owns
as much as two per cent of the ca
tal stock, tho statement adds. Stock
holders reside in every state in the
Union and in Alaska, Canal Zone,
Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands.
"Thus," says Mr. Gray, "Union Pa
cific stock, like a country's trade,
follows the flag. This widesoead
distribution conslusively answers
the statement that the railroads are
ownea ana controlled by a few per
sons. To an extent not generally
recognized, the railways are owned
by the public. This subject comes
home to every household when it is
considered that life insurance policy
nomers and savings bank depositors
are partners in the operation and de
velopment of our railways."

Tho wago scale for the comine hav
ing and harvest season in Wascn wn
established the fore part of the week
by a number of representative farm
ers appointed last Monday at the
farmer's union picnic at Dufur by F.
B. Ingles, county president of the
union.
In establishing a wage scale it is
not tho intention of county farmers
to obtain labor at low wages but
rather to set prices reasonable
enough to prevent a labor shortage
during the harvest season.
It was pointed out that the scale
war, doubly advantageous inasmuch
as it presets tho farmer and the
man seeking employment. With a
wago uniformity throughout the
county, there will be no danger of
having transient labor shift from
one farm to another seeking higher
wages.
Following is the scale drawn up
and approved by the farmers union
of Wasco county: Haying, $2.50;
header punchers, $6.00; loaders,
$5.00; box drivers, $3.00; separa
tor tenders, $6.00 to $8.00; engin
eers, $6.00; hoe downs, $3.00,' spike
pitch, $3.50; sack sewers, $4.00 to
$5.00; cooks, $2.50 to $4.00; bucks,
$5.50; roustabouts, $3.00; net driv
ers, $3.00. The Dalles Optimist.

John Woodard, jr., son of a well
known pioneer family of Heppner
and Butter creek, was in town Satur
day shaking hands with many of his
old friends. Mr. Woodard is now
living at Nyssa, Oregon, -where he is
engaged in the sheep business. Times
are none too good there, Mr. Wood
ard says, the alfalfa farmers being
pretty hard hit by the inroads of the
alfalfa weevil on their meadows. The
weevil is a sort of small maggot and
there are literally countless millio
of them. They draw the juice from
the alfalfa plant thereby damaging
thq quality of the hay. The only
way to fight them is by cutting f
first, crop early then let the grounn
dry out before hp water Is again
turned on and the dry hea,t kills
them. Some farmers harrow the
laud after the first cutting to bring
the pesls to the surface where the
hot sun soon puts them out of business.

Margin
Leave an ample margin between your
income and your expenses. What you
lose in immediate pleasure will be amply
repaid in the sense of assurance and
self-respect which go hand in hand with
a good-sized bank account.
Living on margin is diametrically op
posed to the principle involved in buy
ing on margin. The former is wise con
servation, the latter is speculation.
