NOTES PROSPEROUS CONDITION.
From Tuesday's Oregonian we have
this little statement from our former
resident, W. B. Barratt: "Home again
and glad of it, W. B. Barratt, former
Cabinet Officials Approve His Grazing
Draft as Equally Fair to Large and
Small Stockmen. Aids Livestock
Industry and Yields Revenue to the
State.
No Hos8 Thief"
INS OUT
WITH GRAZING BILL
' j
state highway commissioner, has re
turned from several weeks in Morrow
and Umatilla counties with glowing
reports of conditions. Mr. Barratt,
who moved to Portland a few years
ago, has been operating as a sheep
man in eastern Oregon for years and
so his judgment on sheep is good.
He declares that the past March was
the best that he has ever known in
Morrow county, weather and general
conditions considered. Lambing has
been very good, the lambing on the
range running around 105 to 110 per
cent, while lambing under sheds
showed an even larger percentage of
increase. The open winter and splen
did pasture has been of immense ben
efit to the sheep industry, as the
large percentage of lambs proves.
Not only sheep, but agriculture, as
well, is flourishing, for the grain
fields are now masses of green and
the farmers are quite hopeful. The
year is starting off well and the
prospects for the immediate future
are all that can be desired."
BIRTHS EXCEEDED DEATHS.
According to the record in the of
fice of County Physician Juhnston,
births exceeded deaths in Heppner
and vicinity during the years of 1924
and 1925. In 1924 the births were,
males 44, females 33, total 77; 1925,
males 41, females 27, total 68; deaths
during the same periods were: 1924,
males 15, females 9, total 24; 1925,
males 12, females 17, total 29.

The
BULLS EYE
United States Senator Robert N.
Stanfield, as chairman of the commit
tee on public lands, has scored a big
victory for Oregon and the West by
obtaining governmental approval of
the revised draft of his bill to put the
livestock industry on a sound and per-
anent-basis. This bill provides for
unsalaried grazing boards, composed
of three members of each grazing dis
drict and elected by the livestock
raisers using the lands.
Of monies received 10 per cent is
set aside for range improvements and
25 per cent for the benefit of the pub
lic schools and public roads.
Secretary Work, of the Interior De
partment, has written Senator Stan-
field: "The new draft of your grazing
bill is a constructive measure which
II result in definite and positive
benefit to the livestock industry. It
will permit the use of the public
lands, under proper regulations, by
both large and small livestock raisers."
Senator Stanfield's committee has
unanimously recommended the pas
sage of the bill.
A new senator would be barred by
the senate s ironclad seniority rule
from holding such a powerful chair
manship and, therefore, would be un
able to advance such important legis
lation through the committee and pass
It in the senate.

Congress
No.l
I went to Washington the other
day. I visited "The House of Rep
resentatives," they were in session.
What I mean by being in session,
the tax bill was up for debate and
they were arguing on "Better Golf
courses for the medium salaried
man." I suppose if the World
Court bill had been up, they would
have been talking on "Shall Amer
ica park oblong or parallel."
Well, then I went over to the
Senate. They had adjourned, so I
felt that America was not having
such a bad day at that We were
only SO percent inefficient THAT
DAY.
You know we all joke and kid
about Congress, but we can't im
prove on them. Nomatter who we
elect, he is just as bad as the one he
replaced.. So with all their faults
we love 'em. They are as good as
the people who vote to put them
there, and they are 10 times better
than the ones who don t vote at all
They are like "Bull" Durham,
they are not perfect, but they are
the best in their line.
P.S. There will be another piece
in tins paper soon. Look tor it.
