When we change the prohibition law let us be sure we have some thing better. But let us not fly to ills we know not of. Most of these plans they talk of we have already tried and failed most miserably. We are not ready to think that Can ada has set an example worthy for us to follow. Recently a traveler from the Uni ted States having seen 25,000 miles of Western Canada came home with the conviction that we are not mak ing such a mess of prohibition after all. This traveler pictures scenes: At Jasper National Park at 7:00 p. m. Saturday night the govern ment saloon is full. American tour ists, supposed to be as thick as the proverbial hair on a dog's back, were strangely lacking. While standing in the door of the Astoria hotel, 5 drunken men reeled past, natives, too. It caused no ex citement, not even a comment. This grog shop was one of four in Jasper, a town of 1000. "But," says the traveler, "when a single drunk wobbles down Sanga mon street in Chicago a half dozen or more men gather around and shake their heads over the failure of prohibition." Outside of these licensed parlors loafed the same old product of the saloon as we knew it. In Banff, Rocky Mountain Na tional park, at 7 p. m. there were many American tourists. There were many drunks, peaceful drunks, for the royal police lock up the oth er kind. Of course the Americans do get drunk; but the drunks there were almost all Canadians. During 10 days' stay at Edmonton where the unemployment was above 2000, at any hour of the day or early night the sidewalks around each government booze shop were crowd ed. No one noticed the drunks. They were used to them. Men pitifully drunk fumbled In each other's pockets for a little more money to spend for booze. One man was so hilarious he came out of the saloon asking someone to kiss him. Most every day the police magis trate has a case of bootlegging. Yes, bootlegging is common because of the government tax. The government parlors can't stop the bootleggers. John Parker, freshman at Uni versity of Oregon, arrived home for the holiday season the end of the week, and is at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Parker. O. M. Scott and family, accom panied by Mr. Scott's mother, de parted on Friday for Portland where they expect to spend a month visiting with relatives. -Sfe May all good friends r'r; surround you CV5.? fjhbr'ni8 ou Cllrls"n" I J 1 May all good things I flv e with you Ljhbp. im - rJ .............. ......

WEHMEYER Some idea of the vast amount of forage harvested on the Heppner district can be had from the follow ing figures. Using 50 pounds as a basis for daily feed for cattle and horses and 10 pounds for sheep, which Is, I believe a conservative figure, we find that permitted sheep harvested 22,000 tons of feed, permitted cattle and horses 8,650 tons, while tran sient stock trailed to other ranges and allotments consume not less than 1,000 tons. This makes a total of 31,750 tons cropped from ranges each summer season, all of which would make quite a sizeable hay stack. In terms of mutton and beef, it probably means not less than 875 tons of lamb and mutton and 200 tons of veal and bef, not including other than allotted stock. Though these figures are only estimates, it leads one to the idea that it takes about 31 tons of green forage to produce a ton of meat. Although laying at a distance from Heppner and vicinity, the Heppner district is no small factor in the economics of local folks. Dur ing the past year, free use for dead timber for fuel amounted to 1200 cords. This material was taken from the dead timber on the east end of the district for the most part Dead lodge pole, or black pine as it is usually called, furnish ed 50 per cent or more of the total taken.
