Horses are rapidly rising in price,
from one end of the country to the
other. Owners of horses, who had
almost lost hope, are taking fresh
courage, for they begin to see bright
outcome that is ever growing brighter.
OF course, this does not apply to cay
uses.
The outlook for sheepraisers is
Frightening somewhat. Even if there

The excursion of the past sachems
of the Red Men from Portland to The
Dalles q !. week from next Sunday
