Several ''shecp-mcn" from the Inland
Empire were gathered around the stovo
Ut one or tho hotels discussing the pros
poets for mutton this winter and wool
next spring and tho prSiits to be mado
by driving sheep to tho Willamette to
winter, and at last they got TO telling
stories about sheep.
Ono told about the captain OF a
schooner who had band Of sheep on tho
deck OF his vessel. AS hc was turning
and twisting tho wheel to keep tho
schooner on her course the old ram, who
headed the flock, taking umbrage at his
motions, camo up behind him and at
ono fell swoop buttcd him over tho
wheel. The cnragcd captain seized his
woolly assa:lant and threw him over
board, when, presto! away went tho
whole flock, popping over tho rail, ono
after another, into the sea. Boats were
lowered and with much labor q portion
OF tho flock was saved.
Another told story which illustra ted
tho same follow my-lcadcr trait in tho
character OF sheep. At port on the
sound one evening just after tho deck
haEds had got all the freight slowed
away, thcro camc down Eve hundred
sheep to bo put on board. All hands
werc vcxcd because OF tho delay and
trouble connected with shipping them,
but finally pen was made of hurdlcs
between decks and n gangway rugged,
and in the dusk all wns ready to take
the sheep on board. and they were start
cd down tho gangway. Tho first one. as
he struck tho deck, saw an opening in
tho other side OF the boat, across which
q hurdle had been placed. Instead OF
going along to the corral prepared, this
sheep made running jump, cleared tho
hurdle and landed i'll tho salt chuck
alongside. Every one of tho band fol-
lowed suit, and in n short time I've hun
drcd sheep wcro struggling in tho water.
Tho captain, having seen tho last ono
godown tho plank, yelled out: "!til right
down thcre?' An answer camo back:
"All right, sir; send them down" "Send
them down" roarcd tho captain, haven't
you the sheep down thcre?" "Not q
sheep, SIR" was tho reply, and invcsti-
CATION showed that thero was not n
sheep on tho boat. Tho captain could
not delay any longer and so steamed
away. and only q small number of tho
sheep ever got ashore.-Portland Ore
