I Some Folks Buy Groceries for the sake of their "Cheap ness" others for "Quality." Ofttimes cheapness In price and cheap ness in quality go together. Hero every thing is top-notch and our prices are reasonable. Our patrons will find a gradual reduction from time to time as we are revising our prices to conform with the reduction of freight rates and other buying advantages made possible by the coming of the railroad.

The firm offered a 10-round road to the person guessing nearest its weieht. and hs a ronseauence many people availed themselves of th oouortunitv of set tin a free roast. More than 2iK) guesses were made ranging from 2(H) to 625 Pounds. Frof. J. F. Burgess. Mrs. Combs. J. L. Clark and Mrs. White tied on a guess of 425 pounds, the porker's weight being 424 pounds. The names of the persons tving were placed in hat. and Col. P. P. Light drew therefrom the name of Mrs. White, who secured the roast. The hog was an unusually large one for thia section, and was purchased from Wm. Roush. When slaughtered it doubtless weighed over 450 count's, as the Shrinkage ud to the time it was weighed was no doubt considerable. ins mt in rrf tr'll 111 IT Lb IN UUUlllINUI I IS PLAINLY SEEN However, Orojron Eastern May Get Busy as Did N.-C.-O. LAKE COUNTY COW IN CHICAGO HARKET Hon. H. A. Brattaln Con fident That Animal Be longed To Him The Breeder's Gazette, of Chicago, a recognized authority in its line, of the issue of October 4th. contained an illustrated article entitled. "Popular ity of Heifers." closing with the fol lowing paragraph, which is of rare sig nificance to all eastern Oregon cattle raisers : "A four-vear-old heifer averaging 1.510 pounds reached Chicago last week tnat sold at ST. the highest figure ever paid for a range-bred animal of the sex. It was a Short-horn-Hereford grade and an outlaw, having disappear ed in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyo ming at weaning time and never hav ing teen fed a forkful! of bav. This year it was caught in the dragnet Western cattlemen are throwing out and the price and weight indicate how princely cattle raising would be but for winter losses and destruction bv predatory animals. In this case an animal which brought S150.70 at mar ket practically raised and matured it self." And thereby bangs a tale : The pace in the Breeder's Gazette in which this article appeared is an excellent photo graph of the animal in question. Hon. H. A. Brattain. of Paisley, a member of the firm of Brattain Bros.. extensive cattle raisers, is a subscriber to the Gazette, and upon seeing the photo waa at once impressed with the belief that the animal in question belonged in their herd, having been bought when a calf, after having been branded, from the "lazv V" herd and with others of the buncn. was soaved. the iron ,"L" of their own brand being placed high up on its left rumo. and turned out on the range. The marks of its former owners, consisting of a . small slit in each ear and two small j dewlaps under its neck, were on the ' animal. Mr. Brattain could almost postitivelv swear to the identity of the animal from its peculiar markings i about the head: but he savs the heifer was six years instead of four years old. He showed the picture to Antone Eeli. who is very certain of its identity having often seen it on the range. ' Mr. Egli is well known as an exoer j ienced range man all over eastern Ore- . ' eon. From these facts Mr. Brattain is cer tain that if a tracer were made rf the manner in which the heifer reached the Chicago market it would be demon strated that she was one of the many others that was stolen from the range Mrs. Paxton In Salam Robert Paxton reports that theExam iner waa in error in stating that Mra. Wa-ter Paxton was in California. In stead the lady went to Portland and then returned to Salem, where an oper ation was performed, from which she is recovering nicely. At her request Dr. R. E. Lee Stiner assisted in the operation. It is hoped that she will be able to return home in about three weeks. bv some one of the fmanv busy rattle rustlers that infest the range of East ern Oregon, and probably driven over to Wyoming and thence sent to market. Mr. Brattain emphasises the fact that hundreds tf cattle are taken bv the wily rustlers from the range, their markings changed or brands disfigur ed, and driven off to different marketa to be sold as belonging to the shippers. He calls attention to the fact that at the round up this fall twice as manv calves came uo as there were beef cattle: and his experience corresponds with that of cattlemen generally, while there was no change in the number of cows, while the skeletons of cattle killed on the range were very few in number than from the depredations of wild animals and winter losses from lack of feed, and it is not to be won dered that effective measures should be talked of to put an end to thia robbery of the range by the men who make a business of it. The chance of discovery and punishment is very slight, while the price of stock is so good thatthe temptation is verv great. A fact in connection with this mat ter that is worthy of note is the high price on the eastern market of soaved heifers. Do the cattlemen see the point? Referring to the statement mde In last week's Examinrr. and in the daily ores generally, that the Oregon Kaat-j ern railway company, a branch of the : Southern Pacifio. has reincorporated. with an Increased capital stock, to build to Lakevlew from the north, a local merchant, who came hero in 18711 remarked in the presence of the report er: "WeM that is all verv good, but nobody knows how soon that is going to happen. I remember that the vear I came here. In '79 a crew of railroad engineers came through thia country ! from the south and made an elaborate survey ot a line from Alturaa on, through this vailev to the north. Thcv stopped here and had their head-, Quarters here for sometime, and aeooie were led to believe that their road was going to be built right awav. Aa we see. it has taken that road 82 veare to I reach this places. Later on there have been several survevs made through here ; one line running west of the lake , and another skirting the line of hills; through town. Thev came in '83 and ; 1907. but as vet nothing has been do ing. Just now the Southern Parifio i extending a line went through Ontario with the avowed purruie of building j across the state to Bend and to con-. nect with the Klamath rails-Natron line, with the branch extending to Lakeview. Now. this is alright ns fur. as it goes, but the glimpse of the past gives no verv certain assurance of an earlv completion of the line spoken of. It's all right to boost, and I do some of that mvself all the time ; but 'it don't do any good to overdo the business. It's alwavs best to follow Dsvv Crocket's advice: "Be sure vou'r right; then go ahead."
