LOCAL IN BRIEF.

we're among the caliels at 'hls once
Wednesday. Mr.. Houck is enthu-
sastic on the goat question and
considers this part of Oregon un-
suroassed for that industry. Mr..
Wood recently located on a ranch
near the Siletz ferry and expects to
devote the principal part of his
time to dairy COWS. He wants to
establish a skimming station on his
ranch, as a feeder of the Toledo
creamery, and has rs cows of his
own to "draw" on. We are in
formed that Agent Buford will
assist Mr.. Wood in securing enough
COWS to make the station profitable
should it be established. The opin-
ion seems to be quite general that
this part of the state is rapidly
drifting cowward--a most desirable
direction.
Presiding Elder Ford arrived last
Friday evening and was escorted to
Siletz next day by Rev. Bryant.
Sunday morning he conducted a
service whi2h was pronounced the
very best ever held at that place.
He returned to Toledo Sunday
afternoon and preached all excellent
sermon in the evening to large
audience. Quarterly meeting was
held Monday evening, much in
terest being shown. Chitwood was
represented by H. N. Foster and
Elk City by DR.. Carter. Elder
FOrdis much pleased over the out

Rawlins, Wyo., has been trying to
buy $4,000 lambs in Oregon this
fall, says he has given the project
up as bad job, as sheepmen are
holding the stock too high for him.
He thinks the fine fall grass is
largely responsible for this, as
sheep-raisers think they can carry
their lambs over until spring with
out much expense, and then sell
the lambs as yearlings, after taking
about 60 or 70 cents worth of wool
off each of their backs. He could
find no lambs i'll Eastern Oregon
under $2.25 head, while S. each
was asked for dry ewes. Ewes and
lambs in pairs cannot be bought for
less than S., which is too high a
figure, he says, to justify shipping
to the feeding yards at Central City,
Neb., where the animals have to be
feed on corn for the winter market.
He will therefore postpone all at
temps at purchasing until spring.

i hAh s anu III duC lllut returned
with a deer-the biggest doe ever
killed in the vicinity of Toledo.
And that is where the joke comes
in. He chose to go alone because
his companions on recent hunts
have been missing the game which
he found and chased in their direc-
ton. His scheme worked until he
killed the big deer-and then he
needed help. His trail home from
the place of slaughter was marked
by cast-off garments, gun and am
munition, lost buttons, huge
splashes of perspiration, gore from
the dead deer and other evidences
OF a real pleasant game of solitaire.
He will ask his old companions to
go with him next time to carry the
game.

Thurston got an average of 10

the payment of Cubans comes from
Cubans who have been working to Sc
