The wool interest, from small begin
ming. has grown to be one Of the most
important and profitable in the State, and
gives promise of adding largely 10 the
wealth and prosperity of our people in
the future. It requires no large amount
of capital to secure flock or band of
sheep, aud the care and expense in their
management is but a small figure.
There is a twofold profit IN sheep raising
FIRST, the natural increase; second, the
clip. 1t is calculated by experienced
shepherds that the yearly increase will
average fifty per cent.-a band of one
thousand sheep producing Eve hundred
lambs. Probably the average. yield of
wool is six pounds TO the sheep. which
will vary in price according to quality.
AT present prices the clip from one sheep
would be worth 81 10 in gold coin. ORC
shepherd can readily provide For band
of Ave hundred sheep while in pasture.
There are thousands of acres in Oregon
that are specially adapted to sheep rais-
.ag, and we expect to see the field, more
extensively occupied in the future for
the several reasons above named. The
gross frauds discovered in San Francisco
in the packing of wool for market, will
doubtless induce wool merchants to offer
u moro remunerative price than heretofore
offered for washed wool. If, as We are
Etold, washing wool loses one half, why dc
not wool merchants advance the price
sufficiently to induce producers to send
clean washed wool, instead of the un-
washed as now generally practiced II
1 the assertion is true, then wool merchants
can certainly afford to offer larger aa
vance than now offered for clean washed
wool-ten and fifteen cents per pound
and thus lessen the chances of buying
sand and rocks instead of wool, and
giving more general satisfaction to all
concerned. e@9

Post once Reform.

The Springfield RepuL7;can, leading.
New England newspaper. makes The fol-
lowing allusion to the recent changes in
the English Post Office: aWhile our
postal service has remained unprogress-
i've for years, and Congress even refuses
to establish the two simple fundamental
principles necessary to any well regulated
system, namely, nothing free and every
thing prepaid, the British service goes
ON from one improvement to another
quite rapidly. Within year, newspa-
per postage has been reduced to half
penny, and half-penny postal cards have
been popularized and now the new
postmaster general proposes that the unit
of weight. for all letters and letter pack cts
shall be doubled. While the postage shall
remain the same. That is that one pen-
ny will carry one ounce instead of hall
an ounce as heretofore. Furthermore,
he proposes that the first additional
Iounce shall add but half a penny to the
| postage: while above two onnces every
halfpanny shall carry another two ounces
Thus a twelve ounce letter package would
go for fourpenee or eight cents, while III
| this country the charge for such lettei
! package would be u cents. 1t is also
proposed to modify the rates for money
orders so as to make them cheaper iol
persons sending small sums. The new
| plan is to charge one penny for ten shill
ings or less, aud two pence for one pound
and a penny additional pound. Our wide
extent of territory and sparse population
over large sections of it forbid such CHEAP
rates and such constant facilities as Grea
Britain, in its compactness of TERRITORY
and plethora of population, can give, bu
it is quite time that we were beginning
! to make progress. The present stubborn
stand stilisoi our postal service is boil
provoking and disereditable.

Church bells were summoning pious folk

Wien grave-eyed Jane walked forth to search
For bitter herbs upon the leas
II was goodly holiday,
The ornament was hung with blue,
And in the ancient orch ards gray
Glad children played ana ROBINS new
Brown elm trees hung their jewels out

Ard naples wore full coral sets,
And lIiacs bourgeoned forth anew.

And merry city-folk did throng
The villsge-street, and roamed about,
As though TO do so were not wrong.
But sober Jane walked on alone,
ComPaDioned by her thoughts not mild,
Until, beneath a lilac hedge,
She sped green tansy growing Wild.
Half grown, thus early, were the leaves,
Ard sSseter incense they did yield
[ INTO her IIcus, grieying soul
That could honeysuckle held.

Upon this ancient holy day,
Which goddess people 40 profane

And though she tasted all the day,
Her spirit tainted not, nor quailed,
For conscious virtue was her stay.
