TRANSACTIONS. in sheep among our Smith
river growers have been lively III the past
week. The sales have not been heavy, but
the number of sales and the prices indicated
a healthy state OF the sheep market. Ten
thousand sheep would find ready sale in this
county any day., Many Of our stock grow
ers are largely Interested, yet their thirst for
mutton and wool producing animals is far
from being appeased.
The largest sale OF tlloroughbrcds that
wehave heard of this season was made by
Bennett & Goodale, last week. They sold
to Kimberly & Miller, of Deer Lodge, -
head of rams-ll yearling and l lamb-for
S4o5. Messrs. Kimberly s. Miller also pur-
chased s head of three-quarter breeds from
{. w. Cook & Bro. ut $12 or S15g per head.
we are not positive which. This is the first
visit of these gentlemen to the county, and
we understand that they are so well pleased
with the appearance of the country that
they have decided to move their entire flock
over next spring. 33s an uaa s #g-.t
Work upon the WOODEN factory in Madi-
son county is progressing rapidly. The
main building is of stone 4SxSS feet, one and
a half storys high. Its capacity will be four
looms and Il sufficient number Of spindles to
keep them in operation. 1t is to be driven
by a turbine wheel Of sufficient power to
turn twice that amount of machinery. It is
proposed to have the lnilding completed BY
The first of November and the machinery in
operation very soon after The proprietors
of this enterprise are thorough-going men,
and we await with confidence for their sue
cess. The site Of the factory is on Spring
creek near Parsons old bridge, jtist bel ow

AS previously announced, the Diamond
Cities and the Canton club met at, the farm
Of Mr.. J. G. Pickering, under a special invi-
tation from that gentleman to play their re-
turn game OF base ball there. A large
crowd of spectators We're present, and after
the players Of both clubs had done justice.t to
the splendid dinner set before them, the ia
bles We're quickly .relaid and all invited to
enter in and partake of the good things, of
which a seeming inexhaustible supply was
provided. After dinner the boys repaired
to the ball ground, where the game was
played, resulting in the, success OF the Dia-
mond Cities by the one-sided score OF. rs to
10, the, short afternoon compelling the game
to be called before completion to enable the
players to get home at a %seasonable, hour.
The ground was very fair, excepting behind
the plate, which was quite uneven, making
it impossible tor, either catcher to prevent
passed balls, the Diamond catcher having
especially hard work on account of the
swift pitching he had to- face. The feature
Of the game was the pitching OF, Fisher, the
Cantonites seeming unable to hit him at all,
as shown by the fact that all their outs but
three were on strikes and fouls behind the
bat, and OF these three, two We're put out on
easy balls to the pitcher, and the short one
second. The batting of the Diamond Cities
was something extraordinary, two and three
base hits following one another in, rapid
succession, all of them doing the heaviest
hitting done by,them this year. Another
thing we wish to mention is the quiet, e1fec-
tive work OF Roe, of the Canton club. The
score is as tollows:so F4#ssta 4,,4t t{,9a..
