Grant county exchange: We are informed
that the sheep men of Hamilton and vicinity
saved so per cent of their lambs. SheariDg
has commenced and the fleece will fall short
of last year. about 7 or s pounds will be the
average. Sheepmen are selling off their
sheep as fast as they can get good prices, as
many are OF the opinion that the industry
is on the wane IN that country.
In Justice Schultz court this afternoon,
the case of State vs.. Yerger was heard. 1t
appeared to have resulted over dog fight,
and the complaining witness and family
joined in an onslaught on the defendant at
their home and then came IN town and had
him arrested. After nearing the testimony
the justice dismissed the case and charged
the costs to the one making the complaint.
We have conyersed with several stock
men III regard to the future outlook of stock
and stock interests of this county, says the
Prlneville Nesos- The prevailing opinion Of
several seems to be that the present prices
paid for sheep must necessarily become
l1wer and that the price of cattle will in
crease. While no particular reasons we're
given for the theories advanced, yet the
opinions as given seem to be general.
Mrs. j. G. Wilson, of this city. has been
honored by being Inyited to deliver an adj
dress by the woman's committee, at the
worlds fair. She has chosen for her SUBJ
ject, the "Pioneer Women of Oregon" and
no one is better able to speak on this theme,
as she came to Oregon In 1851, and has an
intimate knowlege of many interesting
events of pioneer days. Mrs. Wilson is
lady of great intelligence, and her address
will be very interesting.
An exchange says: Farmers who produce
nothing but little grain or hay have moth ]
X
ing to sell but little grain or hay, they
have no other way of getting money. Hav.
ing no other supply of money they feel their
poverty and claim the right to growl at the
government, the state, the weather and
every other thing and person. their wives
and children included. 10 remedy this
they should enter upon diversified farming,
and raise more hogs, sheep, cattle, horses
and poultry, and in q short time they will
wonder why they kicked at anybody or
anything except themselves.
Pnueville Ne,os: Most of the horse grow
ers of this county complain that there is no
market for their animals-that they cannot
dispose of their horses at anything like
reasonable figures. The truth is that only
comparatively few men engaged In this
business in this county raise the right kind
OF stock. The small no-purpose horse is
hard TO sell at any price Nobody wants
him. The wel'.bred draft horse sells readily
at fally good price. There is constant
demand for his use. So also will a we'll
bred driving horse sell. And he will sell
for all he Is worth. The market is not 80
much at fault. 1t is the grower of scrubs.
Mr.. Geo. P. Morgan came up from the
Locks Saturday, and spent Sunday in the
city. He says the locomotive to be used on
the railway to the Hermann creek quarry
has been received from the Portland shops,
where it had been sent for repairs. There
are about 100 men at work now, taking
stone from the quarry and preparing it for
It's position in the walls OF the canal. This
stone il the best In quality of any that has
been used, and there Is an inexhaustible
supply. An eiectrI, plant is being con.
structed, so that work can be continued
day and night as soon as the water recedes.
The Day brothers are giving every indIca
tion of being determined to push the work
to completion at the earliest possible time,
and the greatest confidence is expressed in
their ability to accomplish what they haYe
undertaken.
Last night there was quite variety of
occupants at the city Jail, a hobo, a
drunk" and a pugilist. They spent the
lonely hours of darkness inside prison bars,
and this morning were interviewed by the
recorder. who. after hearing the evidence
IN each case, Imposed a fine commen-
surate with the offense. The hobo had
calmly surveyed the extent and limits OF
the city, with no other intent than to take |
life as cas- ly as possible. while the "drunk"
had imbibed stimulating fluid, until reason |
had become Temporarily unbalanced and his |
idea of life was having Jolly, good time,
and the pugilist had exercised the manly |
art of self.defense" in such . manner that |
his closed hand had come in violent contact |
with the s'human face divine" OF belliger. |
ent neighbor. These were crimes for which
the city ordinances had provided penalties.
and required no Intervention of jury TO
measure the extent of punishment.
