THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HKTPXF.R, OREGON, THVRSD IY, MAY 8, 1919. WGK TV.X f2 j Hie Flow of Meat Two-thirds of the live stock in the United States has to be raised in the West One-half of the consumers of meat live in the East In other words, most of the live stock is one or two thousand miles distant from most of the people who need it in the form of food. Fifty years ago, when live stock was raised close to every consuming cen ter, the country butcher could handle the job after a fashion. But the job got too big. Now millions of animals have to be moved hundreds of miles to millions of people. Somewhere on the way they have to be turned into meat. The packers solved the problem. They set up plants where the "live haul" and the "meat haul" were in the right balance. They built up distributing systemsrefrigerator cars, refrigerating plants, branch houses. They saved time, money and meat everywhere. The stockraiser bene fited in better markets and higher prices; the consumer, in better meat and lower prices. As the country grew, the packers had to grow, or break down. Because of its .present size and efficiency, Swift & Company is able to perform its part in this service at a fraction of a cent per pound profit. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

Republican majorities in both House and Senate are planning constructive legislation for the special session which will create prosperity, promote domestic and foreign trade, expedite in dustrial initiative and development, enhance go;d feeling toward capital in the ranks of labor, and place the nation in an adequate state of de fense against future trouble. Their plans include the following: Uiiactnient of a tariff law which will cover the difference between tiie cost of production and living at home ad abroad.

A Sad Home Coming. Riley Juday, one of the Morrow j county boys who has put la the past seventeen or eighteen months at the front in France," returned to Hepp ner on Friday evening, last, and Saturday morning, in answer to a tel egram received from Walla Walla announcing the serious illness Of his mother, he with his brother from' lone left at once by auto for that city. A little later in the day, another message came, stating that .Mrs. Allyn had passed away at about 8:00 a. m., and when Mr. Joday reached his destination about 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon, mother wns no more. He was happy to be home, and was rejoicing that in a day or so, he and his wife could go on to Walla Walla and see the good old mother, and her passing was indeed a sad home-coming for the soldier boy. airs. Allyn has been living at Walla Wralla during the past winter and suffered an attack' of influenza, from the effects of which she never fully recovered, and this was no doubt the ultimate cause of her death. She was a very excellent woman and had man$ friends at .one, where she resided for many years and was well known. Regular Council Meeting. Aside from allowing a few bills against the city, no business of any particular importance was transacted at the regular council meeting on Monday evening. After some wait ing a corum finally gathered, the finance committee got busy with the bills and the mayor called for reports from committees which were not forthcoming. Some talk regarding street improvements and other minor matters was engaged in and it was council, are that they may be a long time materializing. Perhaps we are axpecting too much.

Recorder Williams, who is somewhat indisposed, was unable to be present, and a council meeting seems hardly just proper without his presence. We gather from the talk that there are many good things coming to Heppner In the way of street improvements, the removal of rubbish, and numerous other things, A Mr. Jewell of lower Eight Mile, was another of the appendicitis victims brought to Hoppner the past week for an operation.

Sandiego Bricino, a young Mexican working for the railroad down at Joardman, .was brought to Heppner itiiday by Deputy Sheriff Voyen, being charged with assault. The complaining witness was another Mexican by the name of Celco Larino. The twain had an alterca tion in which rocks were used as weapons and Larino was somewhat worsted. He did not push this charge, however, but complained that livkina puiled a gun on him, and when the matter came up Tuesday morning to be heard before Judge ...rue.M, the young Mexican, who is not yet 21 years of age, pleaded guilty to carrying the gun, which he states he bought over in Washington, and the court gave him a fine of $10. end costs and took the gun away from him.

Mr. Notson believe, that another sale of this sort would help swell the Armenian relief funds to a greater extent than did this one, being convinced that with the understanding our people now have they would be more prompt and liberal in their donations. Large credit is due' Mr. McMenamln for the' splendid manner in which he handled the sale of each individual article. He seems to possess the ability to pull forth the dollars from the bidders.
