is ready to pay the final dividend, 81
per cent, to the depositors Of the defunct
bank Of this place, making total OF q q
per cent OF their deposits. Some one
has had a good time with the other 1874
per cent, we suppose, and this little

anyway. There has not been over five
inches Of snow at this place at one time
for several years. No one can dispute
the fact that Gillian county has the
finest climate in the state Of Oregon

Harry Clay, who is feeding 1000 NUT
ton sheep in Minnesota, returned her,
last week to superintend the dipping o
some OF his stock sheep, which hav'
broken out with scab lately. 1t appear
that several bands of sheep canght thu
scab from bucks purchased from partie,

people have it fixed so that man cal
scarcely get sound sheep into their state

monkey with their sheep.
At the head OF what is known as in
niper canyon, south of Olex, there is
very dangerous lot Of barb wire strun
along the county road. At one tim
there was fence along the road. but tn
posts have been taken away and tn
wire left lying by the roadside--two an
three wires for distance OF half mile
nowhere more than ten feet from tn
road and at places in the road. 1t i
very dangerous to both man and beast
and, should any one get hurt by it, som
one would more than likely have to pa
big damages. The county court SHOULD
see that it is removed, as the count
would more than likely be blamed 10
letting it remain on the road. 1t ha
been in that shape since last fall, and
is wonder that no one has been eithe
killed or crippled on it before now.
