While the outlook for sheepgro wers is s
discouraging many will again turn their a
tention to cattle raising, which was once
profitable industry he e and may b. agair
One would not consider that lines wer
| hard after witnessing the crowd of womel
and children at Pease Il Nays store thi
| af ernoon, and each one leaving with arm
full of goods. With largely iucreaset
force of CLERKS it was impossible to wait OF
tn e crowd of customers.

Condor Globe: Stock Inspector Lewis A.
Miller, of Lone Rock, was in town Wednes
day. He has just finished his inspection,
and makes the following report: Number
of sheep in Gillian county, Ill, 1926; num-
Der Of bands, 20; number of bands dipped,
4. There is only one band now affected
with scab, and they hava been carefully
dipped, and are almost well again.
A dispach from Roseburg under date of
December 20 says: The trial of County
Treasurer Arlington, which has been going
on for the past week, went to the jury this
morning. After being out half an hour
they returned a verdict of guilty as per in
dictment, and recommended him to the
mercy of the court, Arlington was in
dicted for larceny of between $22, 1000 and
2-OsOOO puDllC uOuCOs me uSlcuSc has
moved for new trial.
1t will be remembered that about two
months ago one c. w. Lewis, travelling
book agent, hired a horse, saddle and
bride of one of our iyerymen, T. E. Cruiks-
hank, saying that he wished to go to Hep
pner and would be gone week. He is
still gone, says the Condor Globe. Mr..
Cruik hank has just learned that from Hep
pner the fellow went to John Day, where he
sold the entire outfit, and then lit out for
greener fields and pastures new The fell
low told here that his home was near Ante
lope, but inquiry to that effect has revealed
the fact that he is not only a horse thief
but also the biggest liar in the world.
:: A landslide occurred this morning about
two and half miles west of Mosier on the
line of the Union Pacific. IA freight train
from Portland was the first to run into the
obstruction, and the engine was thrown
down an embankment about fifty feet,
and two box cars left the track and piled on
top of the locomotive. The engineer and
brakeman jumped and escaped uninjured.
This caused delay of the mixed train to
this city, due at o'clock, and about 3
o'clock mixed train was made up and pro-
ceeded to Portland. 1t Is expected that
the passengers will be transferred acro1s
the obstruction this evening; but the road
will be cleared in time for the passage of
No. tomorrow morning. The work
was done this afternoon under great diff
culties, for the mud and rock would fill in
almost as rapidly as removed.
Salem Statesman: At the seml-annual
meeting of the board OF regents of the state
agricultural college held at Corvallis
Wedr esday Attorney General Chamberlain
and Judge Burnett of Corvallis were in
structed to do what they can in the matter
of recovering the state college funds tabout
Sl7, ,666) that had been placed in the Job
bank of Corvallis by Treasurer Shlpley of
the board of regents before the bank went
under. The claim is made op the part OF
Juc Regents tudl t1ls uloney was not on ue-
posit with the bank, but was simply a
trust by it for the college. If this view is
the correct one, 1T is said there will be but
little difficulty in its recovery At the
meeting on Wednesday the regents exam
ined the reports of the officers and faculty
of the college. These showed the school to
be in prosperous condition.
The Salem Statesman of this morning says:
Superintendent L. L. Rowland, and Drs.
]. A. Richardson and W. T. Williamson

srn Oregon, where. on behalf of the state
