AGAINST OUTSIDE SHEEP.
Grant County Sheepmen Have Formed q
Pool to Keep Them Out.

Grant County Sheepmen Have Formed a
Pool to Keep Them Out.
Sheepmen of this county are great
ly interested in the attitude assumed
by the sheepmen of Grant county with
reference to sheep belonging to out
side owners says the Pendleton East
Oregonian. There has always been a
determined effort to keep ontside
sheep from going into that courtyard
various deYices have been resorUed to
to effect this object. One of the means
utilized was the collection OF toll at
the bridge across the north fork of the
John Day at Monument, and now this
toll will be collected with care.
But, this is not the most effective
move looking toward the exclusion of
outside sheep, for the sheepmen of
Grant county have quietly been get.
ting hold of large quantity of land
situated so as to enable them to
prevent the driving of sheep across the
country feeding as they go, and by the
securing of these lands it has become
necessary for the outside sheepmen
to drive the bands along the public
highway for long distance. This
makes it not only inconveinent to
drive sheep into the high mountains
of that country, where they have al
ways been ranged in the summer, but
it becomes almost impossible TO take
them in without any range as they go.
Grant county sheep men are said to
have secured contral of an immense
quantity of the lanGs in question, and
in some localities absolutely control
the mean of ingress and egress from
this county and Morrow county.
1t is claimed that lands have been
acquired by entry, purchase and lease
located so as to control the roads and
trails leading into Grant county over
the Deer Creek and Round Basin
country, and that SO far as possible,
the means of ingress from this side
over the north fork of John Day at
Dale having been monopolized by the
Grant county sheep men.

Farmers say fall grain throughout
the county is looking splendid, but
spring sown grain, in many places is

of the part the Second Oregon took in

that shows the Oregon boys to have
suffered severely, for they were in the
hottest of the fight. Mr.. Ballard says:
'sThe Oregon regiment had the

where we were fired on from three

tirely refutes the idea that these brave
young men are not in the right place.
We do not belie-e for moment that

to shirk his duty, or to return home
without the honor of having been ''in

Wages of iaborers in the trust factor
les have besn advanced 10 per cent,
and the republican press is making a
big blow about it. But when investi-
gated it amounts to nothing. The
trusts have raised the price of their
output 100 per cent. By so doing they
have doubled the price of nearly every
thing their employees are compelled to
buy, and they have given them an ad-
vance of 10 per cent. The laborer who
worked for two dollars day has had
his wages increased 20 cents, but what
he buys, if trust product, Is doubled
in price. How bepeicient the bene-
fciaries of protection are.

sHEAR1sG SHEEP BY MACHINERY.
Continuance That Promises to do Away
With Hand Shearlng.

A Continuance That Promises to do Away
With Hand Shearlng.
A Pendleton dispatch to the Ore
gonian says:
Twenty sheepshearing machines are
in operation on the ranch OF N. 81.
Cottren, on Birch creek, near this
place. These machines are removing
on the average 1000 heeces of wool each
day, or about 100 to the machine.
Power is furnished by the use of
horsepower turned by six horses. This
is the first season these machines
have ever been operated in this coun-
try, and sheepmen are inclined to be-
lleve that the days of sheep shearing
by hand have passed, and that all
sheep in the future will be sheared by
machine. The machines are operated
on the Cottrell ranch, and the bands
of sheep are driven there for shearing.
The advantage is not so much in the
shearing of large number of sheep
than by the old method, but in the
better manner in which the fleece IS
taken off the sleeps back. By the
hand-shearing method, the shearer
was apt to cut the fiber and thus in
jure the selling quality of the wool.
By Misunderstanding, the fleece comes
from the sleeps back in perfect con-
dition, and it is claimed that each
fleece is worth 5 cent more on the
average than when sheared by hand.
Charles Cunningham, the heaviest
grower of sheep in Eastern Oregon, is
having his immense bands sheared by
the machines, and says now that the
utility of the new method has been
demonstrated, sheepgrowers will re-
fuse to allow their sheep sheared by
hand even though the shearers offer
to do the work for nothing. Mr..
Cunningham was the man who was
chiefly instrumental in bringing the
machines into this country, and feels
satisfied that the innovatian will
prove to be permanently beneficial to
the sheep interests.

WORLDS GREATEST SHOWS.
Ringling Bros world-Famous Big Circus

| hfn2ung Bros Worid-Famous Big CIRCUS
| to Exhibit Here.
I Ringing Brothers popular Worlds
city Saturday, June 10.
1t is needless to say that this will be
| an amusement event of the first impor-
tance. Ringling Brothers circus is
| not only the largest arenic institution
in the entire world, but it is also the
most colossal TRAVELLING exhibition ever
| organized either in ancient or modern
times. In novelty, in up-to-date
uniqueness, in the sumptuousness of
its displays, in the beauty of its match
less horses, in the number of its high
priced performers, in the wealth Of its
pageantry and in the generosity of
everything that goes to make up
superlatively great exhibition, it has
no equal on earth. Other shows have
endeavored to initiate it, but never
with success. 1t has an individuality
all its own-a distinctiveness that
gives it recognized character for
originality all over the land. 1t has
repeatedly been said and with truth
that Ringing Brothers have founded
new school of American showmen,
but it is school that has no successful
pupils. 10 announce the coming of
this great show is sufficient to insure
public attention The pictured pre-
sentmen of the five famous Ringling
Brothers upon an advertisement is an
absolute guarantee of perfection in
arenic amusement. Unlike other
circus managers Ringing Brothers
are never content TO rest upon their
laurels. The present season has wit.
messed a notable increase in the mag
nitude of the show as we'll as a most
nprecedented gathering of American
and old-world novelties. The three
rings, double stages, aerial spaces, and
huge fourth-mile track are fairly alive
with diyerting performances, of a
character never before seen with any
arenic exhibition. The most thrilling
of mid-air exploits. the most graceful
of lady and gentlemen riders, the most
astonishingly expert acrobats, vie in
interest with the most sensational
and wonder-creating exhibitions of
trained animal intelligence. Surely
the world has never seen anything to
compare with the marvellous Lockhart
elephant actors, Marchand's pugilistic
proboscidians of Herr Souder's ele-
phant brass band. Any one of these
aewly-imported great features would
be sufficient to stamp a show with
merit and distinction. Equally re-
markable is O'Brien's sixty-one borse
act-over three-score high-bred
equines all performing in one ring at
one time under the direction of
single trainer. A superb menagrie
and most exciting reproduction of
the exhilarating sports and racing
contests of imperial Rome are impor-
tant incidents of the great show, while
all the new free street parade which
inaugurates circus day Is the most gor-
gouslJ resplendent gratuitous display
ever given in any land or age.

The Meeting of the Christian Endeavors
will Be of Vast Importance.
Among the many conventions to be
held in Portland this year is one which
is attracting the attention of young
people in almost every town in the
state. The Christian Endeavors of
Oregon are looking forward with great
eagerness to the state convention,
which is to convene in the metropolis
May 25th., and continue until the 10Th.
The committee appointed some time
ago to look after the preliminary ar
rangemepts for the convention, report
"all things ready" and general en-
thusiasm throughout the state. The
program committee has arranged an
attractive program, covering the
three days of the convention, and
promising the delegates some rich
treats. 1t is announced that "Father"
F. E. Clark, the founder of the organi-
zation, will be presence alone is suf-
fcient to insure large gathering of
Endeavors, and the convention is for
tunate in securing him. Rev. Herbert
S. Johnson, of Pittsfield, Mass, will
also be present and address the con.
vention President Newlin, of Pacific
College, Newberg; Rev. H. A. Ketch-
um, D. D., of Salem; Prot. P. L.
Campbell, of the Normal school, Mon
mouth, and several prominent pastors
of Portland will also take an active
part.
The committee in charge is putting
forth every effort to make this the
most successful G. E. convention ever
held in this state, and judging from
the program as already arranged, the
talent secured, and the general en-
thusiasm throughout the state, their
expectations will be fully realized.
Railroad and steamboat lines have
been interviewed, and yely low rates
secured from all points All societies
heard from to date express their inten-
tion of sending large delegations.
Delegates will be provided with lodg-
ing free of charge, and special rates
for meals haye been secured at hotels
and restaurants.
