day with relatives at Harrisburg,
and Al says it was not a "white"
Christmas there either, but on the

ing to so much smoke and soot in
the air when there came a snow
fall of some six inches. "Believe it
or not."

W. C. T. U. NOTES.
MARY A. NOTSON. Reporter.
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.

31,750 Tons of Feed
Cropped From Forest
By F. F. 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.
