HAPPENINGS HERE In OREGON
WOOL AT HIoH PRICE.
Million ana . Hall Pornds Change Hands
at-fieppner Sale.

at~fieppner Sale.
Hcppner-The hTss wool salesday in
Heppner as arranged by the Oregon
Woolgrowers association resulted In
1900, 900 pounds Of wool changing
hands, bringing 70 the growers . little
over t2o2, 900. This is BY far the Iarg-
est sale ever made In single day in
Heppner, and from ever point Of view
was very satisfactory. Previous condi-
tions this year have been dIscouFaging
10 the sheepmen and the industry In
general, owing to the bad sheep mark
ct, but these wool sales added so much
encouragement that there is different
feeling, not only among the growers
but In all lines OF business, for the
sheep Is prominent factor in the bus
iness affairs Of Morrow county.
For almost every lot Of wool offered,
the growers received more than they
expected. The average price received
was about l3K cents per pound, which
is fully q cent better than received last
year, owing to better quality of wool,
this being caused by the open winter
and favorable spring, causing slight
shrinkage and good staple. The early
grass caused sheep TO take ON hcsh and
the Aeeces were heavy, many hocks
averaging q pound more to the sheep
than last year. The advance in price
and the increased weight Of the neecss
has added thousands Of dollars to the
pocketbooks Of the prosperous sheep
growers.
The sales will take out about half Of
the wool which will be handled in the
Heppner market. II Is estimated that
about 1900, 900 pounds yet remain in
the hands Of the growers in this terri
tory. Other salesdays have been ar
ranged for June s and %, to be held
here for the sale OF this wool.
The sealed-bid method in which
saleedays are designated when num-
ber of growers and buyers can get to-
gether, was inauguIated three years
ago. The bids of the buyers are placed
in q bat, the highest offer taking the
clip, II the grower desires TO accept it.
This method has been very successful,
there having been but very few private
eles.

oLEo LAW VALID.
United States Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision.

LOWE DeCi8i0ns
Washington, June 2.-The supreme
court of the United States, in an
opinion by Justice White today, upheld
the constitutionality Of the oleomarQar-
inc law. Leo w. McRay sued the gov
ernment in the Southern district Of
Ohio, to recover $50 paid by him as a
penalty for the sale of so pound pack
age of colored oleomargarine, contain
ing q stamp tax of three-quarters Of a
cent pound instead Of 10 cents q
pound.
McRay's counsel argued first, that,
although the UfcU wu5 Uusvrr5 %
look like butter, the color was obtained
by the use Of butter, which was itself
artificially colored, but the use OF
which az an ingredient in the manu-
facturs of "oleo' was authorized by
law; and, second, that the tax of 10
cents pound was proibitive and con-
fiscatory, and an attempted federal
usurpation of the police powers of the
state. The court said the tax contem-
plated the finished product and not the
details of manufacture. The court
therefore affirmed the judgment OF the
lower court, upholding the validity of
the law and the tax.
The chief justice and Justices Brown
and Peckham dissented.

Paris, June 6.--Priyate intelligence
received in Paris at several different
quarters gives gloomy accounts Of the
growing feeling Of discomfort and anx-
iety in Russia over the silence that
prevails in oficiaIdom as to the events
OF the war. Following so closely upon
the exubeTant reports received and dis
seminated eagerly during the early part
OF the campaign, the utter failure Of
the government to give out any state
ments either Of victory or defeat has
proven disquieting in the extreme, and
has aroused popular misgivings to an
almost dangerous pitch.
It is, of course, admitted that trade
and finance invariably suffer in time Of
war, but In q country like Russia,
where it is doubtful If either are
founded upon substantial basis capa-
Bile of resisting the shocks Of pro-
longed campaign, it is comprehensibIe
that the most widespread apprehension
should exist.
