CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.
Only One Load of Lambs Sold for 81
Per Hundred.

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review of the sheep
market:
Trade was active and steady to
strong, everything being cleaned up
at reasonable hour In spots the
market looked a little higher. Some
western ewes, for instance, that made
$3.50, would probably have been in
the S4.40 class last Friday. Choice
native lambs were very scarce. Either
the country has not got them or they
are being held. strong improbability
at these prices. A large proportion
Of native lambs were not fat, and on
the coarse order, owing to lack of
trimming. Only one load good enough
to make 81 arrived. A city buyer said
he would not have hesitated at $7.25
for the right kind of lambs and IL
necessary might have gone little
higher. The possible top could be
conservatively put at $725. Eight
doubles of western lambs were marked
to local slaughterer at $40, a price
that looked high. They were on the
market, but the buyer was understood
to have an interest In them, the trade
regarding them as direct stuff. West
ern wethers sold up to S4.75. and ma
tvesi ewes to $3.50. There was an
urgent demand for feeding lambs at
$500 $50 A large coterie of coun-
try buyers was on the ground and pro-
fessed a willingness to pay these
prices, several sales being made at S.
so. These are the kind of feeding
lambs selling the fore part of last sea-
son at S4.2564.5 and were then re-
garded as high There was appar-
entity an unlimited demand for feed
Ing yearlings at IS.
Most of the native lambs on sale
were half fat and coarse, selling at
$5.75 @6.50. This lack of quality is
indicated by the sale of 7S-fo load
of native lambs at $5.75. The weight
Is deceptive and the price indicates
that they were only half fat, otherwise
they would have sold in another class
entirely. There was u good demand
for throwouts around $525.

FRUGAL SECTION MAN.
Employe of the W. & c. r. Has just
Cashed Two Years Checks.

Checks to the amount of several
hundred dollars, representing the
monthly stipend of a section hand on
the w. & c. r. for nearly every month
since December, 1903, were cashed at
local bank during the month of
July and were yesterday returned to
the office Of the company, says the
Walla Walla Union.
This frugal individual has been In
the employ of the company for a num-
Der of years in the capacity of a sec
ton hand at Hunts Junction and says
that unless he is "fired" he supposes
that he will be there until he is in
capacitated from work by accident or
old age. He can neither read nor
write and seems perfectly content with
his work for the railroad company.
Some time ago he was in the gen.
eral offices in this city and his atten-
tion was called to the fact that his
checks had not been cashed for a long
time. In response he stated that he
did not need the money and to prove
his statement exhibited a deposit slip
on a Pendleton bank for $4,000 and
backed it up with a roll of bills from
his pocket that fairly bewildered the
clerk in the office. The fact that he
did not Immediately need the money
for the checks was established beyond
shadow Of a doubt.
1t is reported that he had been saw
ing up his checks for the past 1S
months to enable him to attend the
Lewis and Clark exposition, and that
he is now on the trail taking in the
sights

casion to display as much OF his learn
ing as possible, and showed himself to
be somewhat Of a scholar. He seemed
to have great pride I'm his Carlisle
record, and also was filled with the
idea that his education was great
thing for him. However, he said
that his mother had told him when
he came home from school in the east
that he did not know any more than
she did. But this he had shown to be
untrue by asking her how much As
and 40 made. which problem in addi-
tlon was, of course, too much for the
squaw mother.
After having talked as long as he
could at the bank window, the ex-
Carlisle man pulled his blanket about
him and staggered out. His black
hair was long, and with his jag and
aboriginal garb he looked but little
different from the ordinary "injun,"
in spite of the care which Uncle Sam
had showered upon him during his
youth.

pany, of which l am the manager,

of the FLOOD waters of the Umatilla

completion of the flume and canal to
cover 10000 acres of what is known
as THE Old Twelve Mile Flat" which
lands are by far the choicest lands
in the whole government project, al
though irrigation for these lands
would depend entirely on the flood
waters, both under our own plan and
that of the government; while most
of the other lands could be supplied
with storage water, under the gov
ernments plan.
THE private projects now con-
structed, and in course of construc-
ton will reclaim the lands a great
deal cheaper than under the govern
ments system, though construction by
the government would be much more
permanent and durable, and the in
cident government supervision and
control would minimize the cost of
maintenance, as well as the risk of
disputes and litigation over water
rights, and would promote and stim-
ulate much higher state of develop
ment in the end, and would, in my
opinion, produce the best and most
valuable irrigation district in the
state of Oregon.

TROPICAL FRUITS.
secretary wilson ren~ of New citru

Secretary Wilson Tells of New Citrus
Fruits-A Hardy Sweet Orange.
THE efforts of the department to
create hardy orange tree that would
produce d sweet orange have at last
been successful A hybrid of the Flori-
da orange and japanese trifoliata has
fruited and given us the desired re-
suit Another hybrid gives lis an or
ange very similar to the grape fruit,
and third gives us a fruit equal to
the lemon for all practical purposes.
OTHER fruits of these hybrids will be
valuable for marmalades and cooking
'.The hardy oranges which have been
secured as 4 result of crossing the
sweet orange with the hardy Japanese
and the work of distribution will be
inaugUrated in the winter These new
hardy oranges will unquestionably
make possible the development of sew
eral important industries in the south.
The oranges are valuable for MARINA
ladies'. and from the fact that they
may be grown in nearly all the south
ern states great possibilities for their
usefulness are opened up Even if
they should not come into general use
for manufacturing purposes or for
general orchard planting, they will I'M
doubtedly eventually become a feature
in every dooryard throughout the
south. Aside from their value for the
manufacture Of marmalades and pre-
serves, they will be exceedingly useful
for pies and other purposes
Thus Secretary Wilson in his annual
report briefly sums up the interesting
and important work that has bGSn
proceeding with the citrus fruits.
Thousands of orange plants, as it up
pears from other sources of infor1pa-
ton, have been sent from the propa-
eating houses in Washington and
planted in Florida and later distributed
as small trees throughout the gulf
states and in North and South Caro-
lima rs test of their ability to with
stand the cold Fruits from these
plants have been coming in to the de-
partment from localities where it is
impossible to grow the common Flor
ida orange.
Two specimens of the hybrid fruits
resemble the pomelo, or grape fruit, and
have made such 4 favorable impress
sion on the department authorities that
the names CT the "Rusk" and the "WiI-
lett" have been bestowed upon them,
and it is expected that a few years
more will bring them on the northern
markets. Secretary Wilson is credited
with the commentator: They're a go.
They can be grown in every back yard

Caponizing is becoming more popular
and more generally practiced than ever

young cockerels is the very best way to
care for them. as larger numbers Of
capons can be kept together this way
than would be possible in the natural
state. They grow to large size are
heavier aud can be sold for either

has the best demand in the market.
