FEW LAMBS FOR SALE.
Buyers from Middle West Fail to Find
Many |Stockers."

Pendleton, Or, Aug. l5.--For several
weeks past sheep-buyers have been in
this county for the purpose of purchas,
ing lambs and yearlings for the winter
ranges Of the Middle West, but so far
they all state that growers refuse to
discuss prices with them. Consequently,
whilea few sales have been made, the
most of the buyers have failed to secure
what they want, The deadlock is said
TO be due to the fact that there are not
many saleable sheep in the county, as
most of the stockmen sold rather low
last fall, There is also considerable
local demand for sheep, and in view of
the prices growers do not feel in any
haste to sell. While there have been so
few sales that prices have hardly been
established. it is said that lambs have
been bringing from Sl.75 to 81 per
head.

not expected to be made for several
days. In the meantime the work of
cleaning up the gunboat proceeds
slowly, the boilers left in the position
in which they were found after the
explosion until inspected by the in

ged the intake pipes from the outside,
thus stopping the inflow of water.
Thus far it is reported that the divers
have found nothing wrong with the

determine if gases created by cor

ships came singly and in pairs, inter
walls of an hour or more separating
them. This was the result of a speed
trial up the coast which had been
ordered by Admiral Evans as a test
of the qualities of the different de-
signs of battleships. A part of the
race was made under natural draft,
and then forced draft was resorted
to. The Missouri finished far in
