w. o. Minors Cattle Sold Well at
Spokane Sales.

w. 0. Minor, the we'll known breeder
of Shorthorn cattle has returned from
Spokane and Pendeton where he has
been attending the fine stock sales.
Mr.. Minor took seven head from his
herd. The animals were put up at Spo-
kane where all were disposed of bring
ing the highest price of anything offered.
The other animals offered averaged BAL
per head, while Mr.. Minors averaged
$1S1 per head, being $40 per head above
the average OF the other Shorthorns sold.
He not only received the highest av-
erage, but also received the highest
price. for an individual, Chiefs Bell
bringing $425.
The Walla Walla sale was declared
off on account of skin disease that ap-
peared among some of the animals Of
fered for sale.
Mr.. Minor states that he made many
new friends for his cattle on this trip,
and that the Pacific Coast breeders
were generally we'll pleased with the re-
suits of the sale.

while drying along the road leading up
Balm Fork, met with mishap Friday
that was certainly an unpleasant exper.
ience. In driving over a portion of the
road that had been overfowed bv the
creek, the team mired down and in
foundering around in the mud the
horses fell down causing mix up. By
the aid of a passerby the ladies were
helped out and the horses and vehicle
were finally pulled out, all of the par.
ticipants being we'll covered with mud.
E. Stewart, of Dayville, was in Can
yon City, Monday, on business, says
the Blue Mountain Eagle. He recently
returned from trip to Shaniko where
he drove two car loads of beef cattle,
from which place they were shipped to
Portland. These cattle were some that
were not fat enough to turn off for beef
last fall, 30 he put them up and fed
them alfalfa hay during the winter.
While the band averaged him about $50
per head, they did not net him as much
as one would suppose. He fed them
continuously since last fall, and the
high price hay was held at during the
winter, renders the transaction not the
most profitable.

a Number of Other Statements Origi-

Today has brought no news of positive
character from either the Russian or Jap

and if nay movements are being carried out
they are thoroughly yelled.
The rains continue, and it is probable that
with impossible roads and the exhausted
condition of both armies no extended
operations are Immediately probable.
The sensational report received by the
London Morning Post to the effect that
Gen. Zassalitch's corps had been captured
and Zassalitch wounded proves to be false.
Authoritative denial is given to that report,
as well as to various others originating in
the British and European press, particular

Gen. Linevitch had marched into eastern
