A DEADLOCK EXISTS
SHEEPMEN ASK MORE
THAN BUYERS WILL PAY.
They Are Expected to Get Together
in a Month or so, as the Yearlings
Must Be Gotten Rid OF After Shear
ing-A Good Profit Is in Sight for
the Growers-Buyers Are Somewhat
"Leery" of Chicago Prospects.

Just at present there is deadlock
on between sheepmen and buyers,
and in consequence no sales are now
being made. Owing to the present
high price of mutton in the Chicago
market, local growers are not willing
to contract for a sale after shearing
unless they be given a figure which
the buyers say cannot be offered.
In speaking of the situation today,
H. L. Stephens, of the firm of Hunter
& stephens, said that mixed yearlings
were now being held at all the way
from 81 to $3.50 per head, to be de-
livered after shearing. This is an
advance of 75 cents over the price
paid last year. The yearlings for
which 50 to $3.50 is now wanted,
were purchased last fall at prices
ranging from $3.50 to s1.75. Thus
it will be seen that the growers will
derive a good profit from the growth,
aside from the s125 to $3.50 to be
made from the wool clip.
There are many stockmen who are
not situated so as to run sheep
through the summer, and so they
make a business of buying lambs in
the fall keeping them over winter
and selling them after shearing. This
year those who have done this will
reap good profits, for everything
points to good prices for both WOO
and sheep.
The present deadlock in the mar
ket cannot continue long, for many
sheep, especially yearlings, must be
sold after shearing, and the growers
wish to have their contracts made a
least a few weeks before shearing
Consequently, within a month the tWt
sides will doubtless get together an(
sales will be made.
According to Mr., Stephens it cost
81 a head to summer sheep and de
liver them at the stock yards mex
fall. When this expense is added Z
the price that is now wanted b
growers. the sum becomes betweel
SO and $3.50. This, according to MI
Stephens, means that in order I
come out right the feeder would hav
to receive seven cents in the Chicag
market for his mutton next fal
While that price Is now being paiC

One of the advantages that Pendle-
ton has in the effort being made to
locate the Woodcraft headquarters, is
the fact that the grand guardians Of
flee has been here during the past
term. Such is the opinion of w. E.
Rapson, major general of the Wood
man uniform rank for the depart
ment of the West. Mr.. Rapson is al
so of the belief that the fewer changes
that are made in the location of lodge
headquarters the better. Although
Mr.. Rapson is prohibited by his po-
sition, from taking any side in the
struggle for the headquarters, he was
willing to say this much in favor of
Pendleton.
Major General Rapson is on tour
of inspection of the various compa-
nies of the uniform rank in the nine
states constituting the Pacific juris-
diction of the order. There are 19
regiments of the rank within the jur-
isdiction, three of them being in Or
egon. Within a short time a fourth
regiment is to be formed at Cottage
Grove, in which all companies south
of Salem will be included. The brig
adler general for Oregon is ]. C
Jones, of Portland.
At the Salem fair an encampment
of the Woodmen Uniform Rank was
held at which $50 companies partici-
pated. At the Lewis and Clark fail
one day, August S, will be given VI
to them. Great preparations are nov
being made for the grand convention
that is to be held at Los Angeles ii
April. The Oregon regiment will
leave Portland by special train OF
April 70, and on the road will stol
at San Francisco and Santa Cruz, ar
irving at Los Angeles on April II, thu
opening day of the convention.
Mr.. Rapson left this morning TO
Walla Walla, where he will NEE
with the local company tonight. From
there he goes to Spokane.

No Court in Session.

Swiss Change National Hymn.

1t is not often that a nation changes
its national hymn. The Swiss have.
however, formally announced their in-
tention of so doing and of adopting the
less we'll known Swiss psalm or Can
haue Suisse instead of the hitherto
universally sung 20 Monts indie
pendants"
The reason of this change is that the
latter has always been rendered to
Carey's melody of God Save the King.
which is identical also with the German
Hell Dir i'm Segerkranz." and the
Switzers are beginning to find this same
ness too confusing Henceforward,
therefore. they will change their tune to
one which shall be theirs only. and, in
deed, the melody accompanying the
words, Sur nos monts qunnd lie soleii, ,"
etc. of the "Cantique Suisse" is, if any
thing, more inspiring than the old one.
1t is also by true son of the Alps,

developed to prove beyond the shadow
OF doubt that the total of monies wasted

enormous assets. Every dollar of insur-
ance outstanding is good whether new

sacrihee the slightest portion of what he
has paid in. To continue the payment

Prior to Civil War the Coins Passed

Prof. W, Il. Hidden of Newark. y. /.
spent last week in Rutherfordton rs the
guest of NJ. o. DickerSon clerk of the
superior court of Rutherford county.
Prof. Hidden is an eminent geologist and
mining engineer and his name will be
recognized as the origin of the name of
the beautiful stone called hddenite,
valuable emerald green gem found in
western North Carolina. 1t was so
named because of its discovery by Prof
Hidden about 1881. while exploring
Alexander county, North Carolina.
The interesting announcement is made
concerning the visit of the eminent gem
tleman to North Carolina that he is here
seeking data concerning the late Chris
TOPPER Bechtler, who was a resident of
Rutherfordton many years prior TO the
Civil war and there coined the gold
mined in the mountain region round
about. The Bechter one dollar and FIVE
dollar pieces were once extensively circu-
lated in North and South Carolina and
passed Mt their face value everywhere.
The fact is they contained greater
ratio of gold than those of the United
States mintage. but under the coinage
laws of the government the Bechtler
mint had to close shop. Thousands OF
dollars meanwhile had gone into circula-
ton, but many of the coins drifted TO
the United States mint Mt Charlotte,
where they were reminted while others
fell into the hands of parties who pre-
served them ms curios. We have seen
quite a number of them in upper South
