MEAT AND DAIRY
PRODUCTS CHEAPER
Lower prices of meat and dairy pro
djet are accompanied by increased ex
portation:?. The latest figure of the
Bjreau of Statistics of the Depaitment
of Commerce and Labor show large
increases in experts of meats in the
month of May. 1911. when compared
with the same month a year ago. The
total exports of meats for the 11
months of the fiscal year is still in
some cases below those of a year ago,
but for the single month of May, in
which the export prices are materially
below those of a year ago, the increase
is 6trongly marked. In the case ot
larJ, for example, of which the export
price in May. 1911, was 9.2 cents per
pound, against 12.7 cents in May last
year the total being 54 1-2 million in
May 1911. against 26 1-2 million in the
corresponding month of 1910. Bacon,
of which the average export in May
of last year, show also u large increase
in the quar tity exported, the total for
May being 17 million pounds, against
6 1-2 million in the corresponding
month last year, though for the 11
months ending with May 1911, the total
is less than in the same months of
the prior year, being 137 1-3 million
pounds, against 144 million in the cor
responding months of 1910. Hams and
shoulders, of which the average export
price in May,1911. is 11.8 cents per
pound against 14.6 cents per pound in
May, 1910, show a total exportation in
May of the current year of 17 million
pounds against 7 1-2 million in the cor
responding month of 1910, the total for
'the 11 months en'iing with May being
; below that of the Fame months in 191').

builded better than they knew, advanc- mirably. Other states. I am told, have
ed further in real development than
even the most enthusiastic builder of
Oregon dreams. And they have done
the work alone and unaided.
Building a home in central Oregon
hart been a man's job. A faint heart
had no business on the high - plains
where the crops grew r lowly as the
sage brush was worked out of the soil,
where everj thing the hut-bandn.iin
did was an experiment likely to result settlers the benefit of neientibV
in failure. It took courage as well as
hard toil to carve out success, while
the years roll by and the railroad fail
ed to appear.
Central Oregon is not tamed yet,
although men have planted ami reaped
crops in recent year where a decade
ago it was "known" that nothing but
cactus and sagebrush could find lodge
ment. But. where men by the score
attached themselves to the land, now
hundreds and even thousands are
gathering in colonies and communities
for the purpose of wrestling the land
fr 'm the coyote and the stockman and
building for themselves home and de
veloping farms in place of the ranches
of former days.
The debt the railroads have long
owed central Oregon iH Peing paid.
