Last week the GLOBE sentenced the
Ladd grave robbers TO 10 years each In
the penitentiary; but as the maximum
penalty for that ofense is but two years,
we will have to knock off years on
each sentence. Three of them got two
years each, but Magone's trial is not
ended yet. His defense is the insanity
dodge, aud he may be let down easier.
In his order for the GLOBE this week
Fred Cornett writes from Austin, Grant
county, as follows: "Tbere is lots Of
grass in the mountains this summer and
the prospects are that it will be one Of
the best seasons for sheep we have had

OF $50 head Of sheep on the trail, but
aside from this the boys have had good
luck"

VIM. b. Neidermeyer, the gentlemanly
agent for The Dalles nursery, canvassed
this section this week. He is greatly
encouraged at the large orders for trees,
shrubbery and roses he is getting all
over this county. 1t seems that he has
sold orders TO nearly everyone inthe conn
ty who owns any land or town lots. This
is due largely to their ad in this paper.
II pays 10 advertise in paper that 10
read by everybody In the county.
Writing about Alaska, to which be
has made two trips during the past year,
Atty. J. G. Leasure explodes very
common error regarding the climate, as
follows: MANY people have been de-
ceived regarding climate. The truth is,
the climate is mild all along the coast,
and nothing prevents outdoor work the
year round. Last winter the lowest the
mercury registered at Juneau was zero,
and that for a very brief period"
Within the last week this county has
been favored by several fine showers Of
/ rain, that of Monday afternoon being the
q hardest thunder shower we have had for
q several years. The ground is wet down
! to depth ofperhaps four inches, and il
n would be impossible to estimate the i'm
mense value it has been to the suffering
: crops, which were fairly gasping for rain
The farmers almost look upon it as hsv.
< ing rained 20-dollar gold pieces, or itt
equivalent.
, Wool growers have little to gain in
4 waiting for higher prices for wool this
;, year. The fact is, after the tariff bill
becomes law the price of wool is bound
to remain about the same az it is now
because Of the supply on hand beinl
greater than the demand. By this time
next year 1t is reasonable to expect Q
higher price for wool than prevails al
. the present time, but the conditions dc
y not justify the growers holding this sea
sons clip, as seems to be their disposi
ton.
