What Oregon is Doing.
In 1911 the wool clip of Oregon
weighed 16,000,000 pounds, was
shorn from about 2, 000, 000 sheep
and was sold for about $3. 000, 000.
During the same period the
state produced 600,000 pounds of
mohair, worth $240,000. Goats
have been found nearly as valu
able for clearing brush land as
for producing mohair.
In 1911 Oregon produced 72,000
bales of hops, worth $4,000,000.
The production was only half that
of a few years ago, but prices
have been extremely good.
In 1911 Oregon produced poul
try to the extent of 9,000.000
birds, having a value of $7,000
000. During the same year the state
produced 32,000.000 dozens of
eggs, valued at $9,000,c,0(). The
poultry business is still an infant
industry.
In 1911 the Oregon potato crop
was the greatest ever known,
very nearly approaching the 6
000,000 bushel mark with a value.
to the growers, of over$4,0o0,000.
In the same year, onions were
grown to the amount of about
175,000 bushels, worth $212,000.
The bulk of this crop is produced
within a small area, being grown
almost exclusively on what is
known as "beaver dam" land.
In 1911 Oregon produced $3
400,000 worth of butter, but in
order to supply the demand, at
least three times this amount
was shipped into the state from
other sections.
In 1911 Oregon dairies produc
ed 17,000,000 gallons of milk and
cream, having a value of $4,000
000. The product is said to be
the cleanest and most wholesome
of that of any state.
In 1911 Oregon produced 5
000,000 pounds of cheese, valued
at $758,000. The quality is of
the very best. Los Angeles uses
more Oregon cheese, in feeding
its tourists than of all other
kinds combined.
The standing timber of Oregon
is estimated at 454,000,000,000
feet, worth on the stump $680
000,000, and when manufactured
into lumber it will be worth $6-
500,000,000. The timber covers
approximately 25,000,000 acres.
About one-half is in national for
ests and the balance under pri
vate ownership.
In 19114,123,000 head of live
stock was raised in Oregon, val
ued at $87, 854, 000. Among meat
animals, the production of hogs
has increased faster than that of
cattle or sheep, due for the most
part to the extremely high prices
that have prevailed for the past
two years in the Coast markets.
The fruit crop in Oregon in
1911 was worth over $4,000,000
in cash. The greater part of this
sum was received for apples,
this staple commanding the high
est prices both at home and
abroad. Next to apples, peaches
are the most important fruit in
the state, last year's crop selling,
for $o23,000. Pears were sold to
the value of $300,000, being an
average of nearly $1.50 per box.
Cherries, prunes, loganberries,
grapes, strawberries, ect. helped
to swell the sum paid to farmers
and orchardists during the year.
About 300, 000 pounds of English
walnuts were produced, valued
at $45,000.
W. E. White and family came
over from Monument on Friday.
Mrs. White will be in the city for
some time to receive treatment
at the hands of a doctor.
A bay horse, weighing about
1350, and branded AF on right
shoulder, six or seven years old
has been taken up by parties in
Gilliam county. It is thought
the animal belongs to some one
in this county. Call on Sheriff
Hayes for particulars.
Clyde Royse, formerly of this
county where he was born and
raised, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the
head with a revolver, down at
Salem on last Friday. He had
been on the special police force
for the summer at Newport, He
came to Salem apparently to look
for work, and being disappointed i
in this he became despondent and
took his life. His body was
found near the Willamette river,
an empty whiskey bottle and a
revolver laying by his side.
Royse had made various attempts
at self destruction before this,
and tried to kill himself once by
cutting his throat at Heppner a
few years ago. He leaves a wife
and one child.

REDUCING COST LIVING.
The scarcity of beef and pork
is given as the reason for the
high price at which these meats
sell at retail. Meats have be
come so high that many poor
people complain bitterly against
the price, but if they only knew
it they can all find relief by turn
ing their attention to mutton.
Choice fat wethers are selling in
all the large markets at around
4c per pound live weight. This
price enables the butcher to hang
the dressed meat in his cooler at
a cost of less than 8c per pound.
Therefore, dressed mutton should
reach the consumer at about one
half the cost of beef.
Mutton is just as nutritious
and far more easily digested
than either beef or pork, and if
properly cooked it is just as pala
table and delicious. When one
considers mutton from the stand
point of health it stands without
an equal. The sheep suffers
from no disease that can be
transmitted to the human family.
What a remarkable thing it is
that out of 13,000,000 sheep in
spected by the Government last
year not a single case of tubercu
losis was found. This in itself
is quite a health certificate that
should not be overlooked by the
consumer. In Great Britain mut
ton is regarded by the richest,
as well as the poorest people as
superior to any other kind of
meat. Great Britain has more
than half as many sheep as we
have in the United States. Her
people have learned to live upon
mutton, and their rugged health
is a testimony to its high quali
ties. At the present time there
seems to be an over-supply of
fat sheep in the United States.
The markets have been unable to
assimilate them, even at the ex
isting low price. This has been
hard upon the sheep breeder,
but what is his loss in this case is
the consumer's gain. Through
out the whole country local
butchers, as well as the big meat
packers, have access to an enorm
ous supply of fat sheep, and if
the consumers will only turn
their attention to this healthful
food we shall soon hear less about
the high price of meats in this
country.
