Oregonan Sept. ~.
II. q. Rand, II big cattle-buyer,
was in Baker City the other day ON
his way to Prineville Crook county,
where he purchased 1000 head of
beef cattle for shipment East. He
authorized an agent at Baker to
buy as many beef steers as can be
had at a price for threes and fours
from $40 to s25, delivered at Il
railroad point Mr.. Rand desires
to start train load to the Eastern
markets as soon as possible.
oreeonian Sept 20.
A dispatch from Omaha states
that f. d. McCully, who left Elgin,
Or, September 8 with Is carloads
of cattle, got through with them in
fine shape, having fed one day at
Pocatello and one day at Cheyenne.
He sold his cattle in the Omaha
market on the 14th. the three
year-old steers bringing S27 for
feeders. He is we'll pleased with
the Omaha market and with the
railroad service, and has ordered
another trainload shipped at once.
Oreronian, Sept 20
Dave Horn informs the East
Oregonian that Il large proportion
of the cattle of that section will be
shipped to South Omaha, Ncb.,
this fall. A gentleman residing at
Soda Springs, Utah, has purchased
$4,000 head in Malheur county to
ship to South Omaha and will load
them at Ontario. From Pendleton
and Heppner also, about October
l5,will be shipped |, 900 head. The
recent experiment has had the
effect of turning the attention of
buyers and sellers toward Omaha
as an advantageous market.

EN- City Wagon Road.

The Committee appointed at the
Elk City wagon road mass meeting
last week have decided to ask the
County Commissioners at their
regular October meeting to instruct
the Clerk to advertise for sealed
bids to construct said road. Said
bids to be opened and considered
by the board at their regular jan
uary session. The actual cost of
constructing the road can thus be
ascertained, and in the meantime
the Committee will communicate
with the State Encouragement
and the State Wagon Road Com
missioners relative to sundry
technical points and quibbles which
have arisen in interpreting the law,
as to whether the $4,000 will be
forthcoming if the Elk City branch
is bid ON and completed according
TO the State survey and specifi-
cations.
BY January the Committee hope
to have matters in such shape that
the County Commissioners will be
enabled to go ahead and let the
contract for building the road. Tho
contractor, whoever he is, will
have to make two contracts, one
with the County Commissioners
and the other with the State Com
missioners, the object being, Of
course, to secure the $4,000 appro-
priation by the State, leaving the
county to pay the balance. The
entire cost of building the road on
the ten per cent. State grade
and specifications is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000. These
estimates may be misleading. The
only certain way to learn just what
the road can be built for is to invite
bids from responsible contractors.
And this is just what the Comittee
will ask the County fathers to do.

DIED. Near Grangeville, Idaho,
September 26, 1898, Mrs. Mary
Adkison, aged GA years.
Deceased was the mother of all
the Addison family on this prairie.
She came here in 1870 and has
been bedfast with paralysis since
1880. Her sufferings in this period
she endured with true Christian
fortitude, faced death with calm
resignation and was laid to rest in
the Grangeville cemetery on We'd
nesday in the presence of a large
assembly of sorrowing friends and
relatives. May her rest be sweet.
DIEp.-In Grangeville, Septem-
ber o6, 1898, Charles Christie, q
native of Sweden, aged "a years.
Mr.. Christie had been failing for
some time. He was walking on the
sidewalk enjoying the lovely sun
shine on Tuesday forenoon when
death came. He was conveyed to
the house and died without a sign
Or struggle. Deceased came to
Salmon river in 1862, mined in
Florence and Warrens, and finally
started store at Slate Creek which
he conducted with success until he
sold the business to Josh Fockler a
year since. The cause of death was
evidently paralysis. The remains
were inferred in the 'Grangeville
cemetery yesterday under the aus
piccs Of the Masonic fraternity.

4 Ear .tssocintio1.. Formed.

The members of the bar of Idaho
county met Wednesday evening at
the office of Messrs Hall and. ALL
SHE. and took the first steps to-
ward the forming of a bar associat-
ion. j. +. Ailshie was elected
president, r. +. Fulton secretary.
A Committee to draft constitution
and bylaws was appointed, to re-
port at a meeting to be held next
Monday evening. We understand
one of the principal objects of the
association will be TO discourage
the sending of legal business to
nonresident attorneys, the men,
bers believing that they, being
residents here, and spending their
money among our people, are en-
titled to the business in their line.
The mutual good of the association
will be looked after, and the credit
of the fraternity upheld by all
means possible; should any men,
Der of the bar be guilty of unpro-
fessional conduct, the association
will see that he is expelled and
disbarred from practice.

divisions in each crate. Before putting
in eggs scatter some fine cut hay or
straw, bran, cotton seed bulls or oats
on bottom Of crates or put in several
layerso of paper. After putting in your
boxes Of eggs fill in around sides and
on top with same packing so that the
boxes will not move about, but are
held perfectly steady. Let your eggs
IN each box be fresh, clean, and of
same size and color as near as possible.
Put a slip, properly filled up, in each
box.
Shipping. Order your crates, egg
boxes, stencil plates, printed postal
cards n box slips from this Office.

DIRECTIONS
For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.


Killing and Dressing.-Food in crop
Injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour, and purchasers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. All poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body Is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet-picked
poultry is not wanted In this market.
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the incision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, ETC., in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry car be sold to a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is NJ food in
the crop, or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No. 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
ages. Ifyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate package or with
No. 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight, and see that the boxes are
SO full that when the covers IRE nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.
