Tuition : First Term, $7 50 Second Term, $5. For catalogue, summer Bchool circular or other information write to Pres. E. D. R b SSLKX, Monmouth, Oregon, and A. G. Beals. The race was between Howser and Beals, the former getting a large and complimentary vote in Yam hill while the latter polled a larger num her of votes in his home county than any of the other aspirants where there was a contest. This shows that Beals is un doohtedly the choice of the republicans of Tillamook county, and this ought to satisfy the republicans of Yamhill county and insure their vote for him, for having conceded the joint representative to this county,they will vote forhim.Yamhillcan always rely upon a good republican vote from Tillamook when its comes to vot ing tor a Yamhill man for joint senator. Now let Yamhill recriprocate and do the right thing for the Tillamook man. * * » Creffield, who stvled himself the "Holy Roller,” is killed, and if ever a murdtr was justified and popular, this was one. Possessing some kind of hvpnotism, he used this upon people, especially upon women and thereby despoiled a number of homes and sent people crazy. Cref field was a dangerous man in anv com munitv, and if there are any citizens who deserve to be shot down like dogs it is those who break up happy homes and entice women away trom their husbands and children The Headlight man would have no compunction in doing what Mitchell did if Creffield or any other man despoiled bis home. * * * The Portland Journal ought to make its correspondents confine themselves to the truth. A special from Tillamook says among other things : “County Judge W. W. Conder of this county received at the polls almost the entire vote of the Democracy and a large number of the Republican votes. . . . The influence that won Mr.Conder’s con sent to stand for the office came chiefly I from Yamhill county." This is a concoction of democratic lies that usuallyeminate from Tillamook and the Journal is being imposed upon and made to father what is absolutely false. If the Journal will refer to the official re turns it will find thatonly 10Democratic votes and no Republican votes were cast for Mr. Conder for joint representative. And not one vote was cast for him in Yamhill county. It must be that this in fluence from Yamhill, where he did not get one vote, must be awfully inviting. The vote for joint representative on the democratic ticket in Tillamook county was as follows : A. Beals, 1 ; C» Tal mage, 1 ; — Talmage, 2 ; Geo. Cohn, 1 ; John J. Hawley, 1 ; VV. W. Conder, 10 ; E. D. Hoag, 1. Thia Cuuntry Has Mever Taken 1rs Proper Place Amon« the Na tions That Produce Pre- clous Stone». Lured by Stories ot Smldeo Hiebe», Men Have Flocked la troni All Paris ot the World—Odd Incidents. For ten years, more or less, say from 1874 to 1884, and later than this in the northern range, there was universal prosperity and plenty of money; to be a cowman meant teeing a small, but powerful king with a princely, king dom, the boundaries of which were set by precedent and by the honor of cus tom—as far as a man on horseback could see, and by water—as firmly as if corner-marked ami title-deeded, there was no rent, and virtually no taxes to pay. A man might own a hundred thousand cattle, and not an acre of land,though heclaimed "range rights" to 50,000 acres, and enforced those rights with blood and iron, writes Ray Stannard Baker, in Century. Apparently this was a new sort of free life in which man had risen above the old slow rules of thrift. It was a simple business; turn the cattle to grass, and when money was nswded, round them up and sell them. But the lucky dog sometimes had difficulty in enjoying his bone in peace. Lured by the stories of sudden riches in the cattle country, other men, as bold and hardy as the first, flocked in from all parts of the world, and began raising big aud little herds. The build ing of the railroads across the conti nent stimulated immigration; the great Texas boom followed the com pletion of the Texas Pacific railroad in 1883. At first the early comers wel comed the new rangers, sold them ca<8 tie at exorbitant prices, chuckled at their innocence, allowed them to come in on the ranges, and grew richer and richer. There were times when Texas steers, big and little, brought $25 each on the range. But the tide swelled, and the cattle continued to increase enormously. Presently the first real settlers, the “nesters” of Texas, who wished to fence the land for farms, appeared in numbers, and the early comers, the original cowboys, began to chafe. “Who’s elbowing me?” they inquired, and there was prompt and effective shooting, and the wholesale cutting of the new fences. Many good men lay down in the hot sand, never to rise again. But that, bad as it was. did not tell the whole story1 of destruction. If cattle had been killed instead of men, the trouble might have been averted, but theherds went on multiplying until they covered all the range, giving it no rest winter or summer. Each cowman scrambled for all he could get; he argued that if he did not take the grass his neighbor would. And who cared a rap for the future? Life was short and money tangible. At first there had been enough grass to support one steer to every two acres of land; in halt a dozen years a steer did well to make his liv ing on five acres. After that the ratio steadily widened. So great was the struggle for new territory that whole herds of cattle sometimes went 20 miles or more to water and then back again, galloping every step, and work ing hard between times to get enough from the failing ranges to keep life within their lean carcasses. And to day there are many parts of the range that will not support ten cattle to the square mile, one steer to every 64 acres, and it is a good range indeed that will feed a steer to every 20 acres. There are whole ranges in TexaB, New Mex- ica and Arizona, once rich beyond be lief, that are completely deserted and given over to the desert. Mr. Taxpayer: I want to pay my back taxes, Mr. Woolfe.
