Uncle Sam and the beef trust met on a common ground todav at the trial of the Chicago Back ers when it was shown that during all of 1908 and the first four months of 1909. Morris & Comoanv. in figuring the cost of fresh beef, allowed but S60.330.00 for hides and in the same period sold S3.280.913.91 worth of hides. Thus it was that had the vast proflt in hides, aside from a fair profit which was deducted from the price of beef friends here who will work like trojans for bia election.

The rates are as fol lows : Yearling cattle 45c, horses 66c.. swine 27c.. Aoril 15 to November 15 Cattle 33c. horses 39c. swine 19c. June 15 to October 15 Sheep 6c. April 15 to October 15 sheep, in cluding lambing 11c. An extension to the short sheen sea son mav be allowed at lie per bead per month. The above rates show an increase ot 7 cents per head on cattle and 4 cents per head on horses over tne 1911 sum mer rate and a decrease of one cent per head on sheen. Henry Keith Keene Fred Keene was tound this morning roaming the streets before daylight in a most hilarious frame of mind, and when questioned aa to his unseeminglv conduct stated that they bad a fat babv bov weighing eight pounds at bis house. The little stranger arrived at an ear.lv hour this morning, and both babe and mother are doing nicely. The naw arrival will be known as Keith Keene. Relief for Homesteaders Senator Chamberlain ia preparing and will introduce a bill lor the relief of homesteaders, differing from all mea sures now pending in that it will pro vide that any homesteader, after six ! mnntha' unntiniiin. mu.Anw. L: I land, mav be entitled to leave of j absence for six months of each vear; j that is to sav homesteaders will be re i nuired to reside uoon their land only half of eacii year until final proof is made. By this means, he believes, settle- I ment will be greatlv encouraged and homestead ing made easier. Senator Chamberlain thinks some relief must be granted to attract settlers to those lands now open to homestead entry. Lake, the Banner County The rate of taxation is a subject which always interests the property owner. Sneaking of this matter one of the countv officials has pointed out the fact that this county has called the attention of a reporter for the Examin er to the fact that Lake countv has for years held the distinction ot having the lowest rate of taxation of anv of the counties of Oregon : and although her taxes will be a trifle higher tne coming vear than usual, amounting 11 3-4 mills. it is still the banner countv for its low rate of taxation: and be called attention to the further fact that her rate of taxation this year would be 10 mills save for the fact that the I state tax is 1 4 mills higher than it was laBt year. K. Franklin. Nell Franklin and Jane Doev. of Mod oo countv. Cal, were ar rested at New Pine Creek last evening on a charge of kidnapping Irma Weeks, a 14 vear-old girl. The arrest was made Henrv I bv Sheriff Smith and the parties were taken to Alturas for trial. At surface and under a great Pile of large rocks, by very clever pro mat ing work, there waa opened a vein in place, which at eight feet showed uo values of SI 5. 000 or rM.000, At 20 feet there was disclosed eight inches nf quarts, and a red tale that proved rich enough tor the most exacting of avari cious. Fanning! from the stun showed long strings of colors, and already there has been sacked and shipped a carload lot. which it ia estimated will yield an average of around SI. 000 to the ton. As an illustration of the apparent overlooked opportunities in this camp. it might be cited that recently a large interest in this property changed hands for but a few hundred dollars 1 The most extensive development has been done on the property of the Fort Bidwell Consolidated comoanv, a Detroit. Mich., enterprise, which has been steadily operating with pleasing results. Tunrela taothe mountain from two sides, the west side bore showing values in good size ore bodies carrving up. The east side working on the Sugar Tine property has ore which is good for S60 to the ton. On the Con solidated property the greatest depth in the camo baa been reached, and it Is noteworthy that at 200 feet they are breaking five feet of ere good for from $18 to S20 to the ton. Thia company has a 2600-foot aerial tram connecting with a 10-stamo mill recently com pleted. The eouipment further com prises boarding and bunk houses, assay office, etc The Modoc Mines comoanv owns 250 acres of patented ground situated near the Sunshine, and in the northern sec tion of the camp. This is the orooertv in which Mr. Guvot has recently in terested Chicago capital, and extensive work is planned. Rich float occurs here, yielding values from S4 to as high as 13.500 to the ton. A shaft has been put down 30 feet, and in the bottom is disclosed two feet of 150 ore. A plant of mach inery, including hoist, etc.. has been shipped to the camn and it is the inten tion to at once send this shaft to good depth, thoroughly exploring., the ore bodv. ine mg rour is an interesting prop erty, insofsr that it has a large blow out or dvke. occurring above ground and estimated to contain a matter of 50.000 tons of ore. the average value of which is tetter 'nan S4 to the ton It is stated that this entire mass could be milled at a profit. In a 100-foot sbsft on this property there has been opened two feet of ore good for S40. and a five stamp mill for handling the product of this mine is now completed. On the Discovery property there is showing a large and well defined vein at surface, from which good pay values have been had in many samples. Tun nel work here has ooened uo a good bodv of about one and one-half ounce stuff, and if the surface indications are anything thia ground is destined to prove very productive. Further down the hill from the Dis covery is the North Scar property. where there ia a similar showing, there being 18 inches of gold bearing ouartz good tor S30 to the ton. The Sunset it is stated, has plenty ot rju ore. and is situated close to a cus torn" mill of the Chilean variety, which handles 40 tons of ore a day. On the Mountain Sheep there was recently opened a foot of better than $50 ore in the tunnel, and in a shallow shaft there is some good looking material Without anv attempt to detail the various workings and showings, it will be evident that a high average grade of ore is maintained in different prop erties scattered throughout the camo. without there having been anv serious effort at systematic exploitation. In addition it mav be stated that the full extent of the productive area has not vet been determined, fir in the langu age of Mr. Guvot. "there is still good prospecting country for some addition al distance, with ground still open in the main and proved productive area." A Nevada newspaper man who visited the camo has the following testimony as to the exceptional character of the ore showings, which were ssmnled and tested under his personal supervision "From one property at the breast of a 100-foot tunnel a good average selec tion of samples was taken and brought to Reno for assay. The test showed $550.60 in gold and $12.50 in silver, and since the silver will pay the expense of mining, transportation, and treatment, it leaves the gold clear profit." A keen interest has been manifested bv local mining men in the camp of High tirade. Mr. Guvot has a wide circle of acquaintances here, having formerly been identified with the smelt ing Interests, and later he bad the dis tinction of being the llrat sssaver in the Cripple Creek district. His know ledge of formations and minerals is considered the best, and in his posses sion are some ore samples from , the camp which cell the tale in unmistak able terms. At the Albany hotel here Mr. Guyet has been holding a continuous recep tion to bis mining friends, and every tb ng Indicates that Colorado is going CANDIDATES HAVE PLENTY OF TIME Lawmakers Have"U n 1 1 1 July 4th In Which to File Petitions The Secretary ot State some time 'since issued a statement covering dates and information concerning the coming primary and general elections together with data concerning the in itiative and referendum petitions, how filed and prepared, etc.. and these statements were sent throughout the state to all countv officials which voters may well keen in mind. Registration books were opened Jan 2d. The primary election day will be Aoril 19. Referendum petitions must be' filed on or before May 18, with the Secretary of State, and in itiative petitions on or before July 4.

Arguments for initiative or refen n dum petitions must be filed bv August 5 or before, while arguments opposed to such proceedings must be filed on or before August 26. 'the general elec tion will be held November 6. Aid to Free Land States The latest move of the Northwest Development League ia to ask the fed eral government to collect, publish in different languages and distribute to foreigners aa soon as thev arrive on our shores, all the information possible about the states having vacant lands, about their products anJ the opportu nities awaiting a family willing to work and having only small means. To accomplish tnis the l.eegue is tacking a bill introduced In the United States Senate bv Senator Brown, of Nebraska, which amnda the art to reg ulate the admission of aliens into the United States and makes it obligatory on the part of the General Immigra tion Commissioner to give this infor mation to foreigners when they are admitted to the United States. The League is asking Congressman Prav of Montana to push the bill in the house and to introduce one making an aporooriation to carry out provisions of the act. The Secretary of Commerce and Labor is understood to be favorable to the proposition and willing to make a success of the campaign if the bills are passed. Brief News Notes Klamath Falls papers have been calling attention to and claiming that the war department has selected a large bodv of land along Sand creek. In the northern part ot Klamath county, as a maneuver ground for the U. 8. armv of the coast for the coming sum mer. The claim Is that the plans In preparation bv the war department provide for the assembling of a torce of 27.000 men on the grounds selected during the maneuver period, being composed of all branches of the service Infantry, cavalry, artillery and the signal service, and will Include the state troop or guard from all of the coast states.

NEVER PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAYI Saved a Wreck Sacramento. Cal.. Jan. 16. For her presence of mind in signalling the eastbound Overland Limited last Sat- day and preventing a disaster. 7-vear-old Heen Martin, daughter of a section foreman, at Alta. Placer county, prob ably will receive a handsome rewsrd from the Southern Pacific Com Dsn v. Her heroism, which saved the trsin from a broken rail that would have hurled it down an embankment, was brought to the notice of Division Super intendent H. W. Sneridan. who veater- day sent the facts to the comosnv official and also a lettei of thanks to the little girl and her 14-vear-old sister. Alma. . Heen was alone when she discovered the broken rail, but she knew that No. 2 was due. and running to the tlock station, telephoned to the station at Towle. only to learn the train had passed Dutch Flat. She then called for her elder sister, and the pair ran down the track. As the train came in sight the children waved their hands frantically and the train stopped. Large numbers of the women of the first families nf New York bave agrevd to place a bovrott uon the use of but ter. In hopes that their action mav but a stop to the rise in price of that art! rle of consumption. Washington. Jan. 18. Announcement was made from the White House todav that Pres dent Taft believes no inter vention bv the United States will be necessary in Cuba. He expects the island government to solve Its own problems. Havana. Jan. 18. Turbulence here has vanished todav aa a result of the united States wsrnlng that revolt would be immediately followed by American occupation. It la now believ ed that all danger of Intervention has been averted. A committee of liberal members of congress was named todav to agree up on presidential candidate uoon whom all mav unite. It is believed Gsrcla Velez. former Cuban minister at Wash ington, will be the eventful selection. Tnis action was tsken at a conference at the president's palace last night. New York. Jan. 18. Farewell, thoo hobble. The Ladies' Tailors and Dress makers' Association of America todav sounded the hobble's death knell In this ukase : No hobble skirts : dresses to be smart must be two and a half vards wide, three fourths of a vard wider than the hobble. But thev must be short at least three Inches from the ground." Washington. January 20. Attorney General Wickeraham assured the House Committee on Rules today that the Government would take action against the International Harvester Comoanv. Congressional investigation of which is under consideration bv the Com mittee. A revolution is on In Ecquador. South America. J. II. Rogers, a retired sheen owner, of Plush, who owns ' the hotel over at that Warner Vallev canitsl. has been visiting in town this week. He didn't sav so. but it is probable that he came over to get away from the duBt which troubles that region. to take a strong hold in the new camp. So me of the leading oerators here are talking about outfitting parties to look into the merits of High Grade and se cure ground. Mr. Guvot s persons! interest is to get miners and curators into the camp, for development pur poses, as ne is connuent it will more than make good, and the larger the number of properties working the bet ter it will be mutually, in the matter of keeping open the roads, and as well as securing public utilities of various kinds. Salt Lake people have also shown a desire to gobble High Grade, leading ojierators there thinking very well of it. and likely are Quietly arranging to get in. A big mining man from Los Angeles was a recent visitor, and in a letter to a friend stated that he would be in the camp "with both feet." Reno people a'e already talking High Grade, and it looks as though the interest would be general, especially) through out Western mining centers. And the natural auestion arises as to whether the talk of a mining boom has filled the air of Han Francisoo for some lime, is occasioned bv the likelihood of these progressive people having arranged to exploit High Grade. A strike is on among the texile workers of Lawrence. Mass.. and 25.000 workers are involved. The state mili tia has been called out. A new 9-hnur law has lately been passed and the mill owners cut down the waves accordingly, to which the workers would not submit. An attempt is being made in the New York legislature to create a new state out of the citv and a few adjoining counties of New York. It is reported that Senator La Follete is srranging a campaign of speech mak ing which will probablv include a visit to the states ot the coast. Much comment in Democratic circles has occurred by reason of the fact that Governor Wilson informed Mr. Harvev. of Hsruer's Weekly, thst he wished he would cease to advocate his nomination for the presidency bv the Democratic partv, because he believes it was an in jury to him. Helping Sheepmen In a letter received trom the secre tary of the National Wool Growers As- socistion by W. J. Proudfoot. stoca inspector, it is stated that the Associa tion will undertake to secure lower grazing fees on Government land as well as stockyard charges. Better freight rates are also desired, while an effort is to be made toward educating the peoo'e of the country generally to the advantages of mutton. Bv this means it is expected to increase the value of sheer, and to again make the industry a paving one. ALGER LAND CO. Improved Ranches Wild Land Town Lots O.V.L.
