Pendleton, Ore. Oregon Hock
musters' Record Profits. 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

OUR PRESIDENT.
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.

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.

THE CHAUTAUQUA.
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. . . ,
