The extra ordinary prosperity which is attend ing the 8heop and wool industry in this country is no where better illus trated than by the extensive opera tions of two of eastern Oregon's big gest flockmasters, R. N. Stanfield, of Pendleton anl J. N. Williamson, of Prineville. Both of these men, if common report and .lie record of their transactions are any criterion. have made "fortunes ' in the last three years in consequence uf the rec ord prices for sheep and wool. Mr. Stanfield is generally credited with being the biggest single opera tor in sheep and wool in the United States. His sale of one clip of 750, 000 pounds of wool last spring was said by the fraternity of wool buyers to be the largest single sale in the country. He is also said to have purchased more than $2,000,000 worth of sheep and lambs during the past season and to have paid the highest prices known in many years, if not in the whole history of the wool industry in this section. Mr. Stanfield is the senior of the three Stanfield brothers, who own large flocks through Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana. Most of the sheep he has bought will be shipped to the eastern and middle western states. During the past year it is estimated that Mr, Stan field cleared about a. quarter of a million dollar's. Mr. Williamson's operations have not been on so extensive a scale, yet it is declared that he cleared up about $70,000 in Crook county during the past year, and has the equivalent of that sum still invested in "woolies." "Of course, for those of us who have been in the business for years and have sold sheep at $1 a head and wool for five cents a pound, It is dif ficult to get our ideas and valua lons adjusted to the conditions which have existed in other countries fori J4!many years," he said in a recent in X iterview. Vj "About 200 years ago sheep in & .England went to a price that corres ponds to that which they have reach- !ed in this country in the last two or y hree years, and they have maintained 8that figure with the usual variations until the present time. 1 "While is seems almost unreason- X able to state, I cannot see any reason V why sheep or wool should ever get back to the low levels that they have formerly held in this country, and i 7 t thjs year was formerly a Lop grower in the Willamette Valley. This his first yar but not his lust' He says he was in the hop growing business in the Valley for eleven years and during that ytime managed to break even.

One of the hottest political campaigns in the history of the Nation has come to a close, the votes for the most part are all counted and President "Wilson is declared the winner. The con test was one of the closest in years, which completely disproves the pre-election statements of the Democrats that Mr. Wilson would be overwhelmingly elected. The close vote indicates something also. It moans that there are some eight million American voters who are dissatisfied with the administration of the past four years. No doubt President Wilson will consider this, as he has considered public opinion in the past, and put a little more back bone into the administration. There are several unsettled questions pending. Many of them have awaited settlement until after election. It is up to President Wilson ami Congress to solve these questions. The entire nation should stand firmly behind them in the next four years. Woodrow Wilson is our president. There is a time for political campaigns and there is a time for unity of purpose among the masses of men. That time has now arrived and the administration will undoubtedly need all the support we are capable of giving it. We should continue to make "America First and America Efficient" our slogan. The Gazette-Times makes an honest attempt to cover the news field of this section in a thorough manner. It is far more than a one-man job. If something of interest transpires in your neighborhood that you believe would be of interest to your neighbors, just call up 432 and yon will have the satisfac tion of seeing it in print, The average news-gatherer has no more natural powers for mind reading than you have. The clays of guessing at things are past. Accuracy is the only thing that counts. Co-operation on your part will be appreciated by the editor, for remember, this is your paper. t-t . I A Morrow county man has undertaken to sell 20,000 acres of Morrow county land and unless present signs fail, he will be successful. The land he has listed is selling at the present time as low as ten dollars per acre. No where in the United States is real farm land selling at such prices. Some of this land produced 25 bushels of wheat per acre this year. It is safe to say that this same land will never again sell at this low fi gure. To the man who wants farm land at a low figure, Mor row county offers the one last fleeting opportunity. This land for the most part is located in the northern part of the county. Realty values are already on the rise here. 4. A J they should stay somewhere near the V present market quotations Tor a time $moM$MMM a least."

The Heppner Commercial Club has gone on record as being opposed to a Chautauqua in Heppner during the year 1!)1 7. By this action it must not be taken that the Club is opposed to the Chautauqua itself, but more particularly is the opposition dir ected at the method by which the Chautauqua operates. Many of our citizens will remember that in 1915 the Elli son-White people brought their Chautauqua to Heppner after our business men had made the necessary guarantee. The sale of tickets fell short of the required amount and the deficiency was made up by the guarantors. Individually, our business men are not opposed to the Chau tauqua. They believe that the entertainment given as a rule is first class and it is a means of bringing the town and country closer together. But as one of our citizens expressed it, "why should we give an absolute guarantee to a company which has an established business, a business that should by this time he able to assume its own risks." Whenever the Ellison-White people will bring their enter tainments to Heppner on the same business basis that every business operates, our citizens will give them their loyal and en thusiastic support. Until that time it is not likely that a few in dividuals will care to assume the responsibility of financing a Chautauqua. . . , One Morrow county wheat fanner who had a bumper crop I l xl IC Anni Hj nn Qmp 11 MM l UR ufilX We are offering one of the best farms in Morrow County at a bargain.
