EARLY SHEEP SALES
MARKET Is ACTIVE AND
STRONG \ MONTH EARLY.
Most OF the Saleable Sheep of Wasco,
Crook and Wheeler Counties Are
Contracted for, and at Good Fig
urcs-Great Yearling Demand
Never Before Have So Many Sheep
Been Sold 50 Early i'm the Season.

That contracts have already been
made for most of the saleable sheep
of Wasco, Crook and Wheeler coun-
ties was stated today by ]. n. Burgess
of the Cunningham Sheep & Land
company who has just returned from
his old home near Antelope. The
prices paid, according to Mr.. Burgess,
have varied from $3.50 TO 1925 per
head for yearlings. The highest price
was paid for ewes, while many year.
ling wethers have sold for s2.75 per
head.
Never before have so many sheep
been sold at this time of the year.
declares Mr.. Burgess, who has an op-
portunity of knowing the state of the
market as we'll as any man in this
section. He says that already this
season as many sheep have been sold
as is usual a month later than this
date. This condition is due largely
to the fact that there is a scarcity of
sheep TO be sold, and as a result buy
ers have come into the field early.
Especially are yearling ewes in de-
mand. and consequently splendid
prices have been secured by men hav-
ing such to sell. There has been a
difference of about so cents per head
in the price of ewes and wethers, the
former selling for s3.25, while the
price of wethers has ranged in the vi
cinity of s2.75.

HORSES FROM MONTANA.
Contractor Makes Heavy
Purchases of Grading Teams.

H. c. Henry, who has the contract
for building the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad through Wash
ington, has purchased a large num-
ber of horses in Montana, paying as
high as s400 team for excellent
draft animals. These horses have
been shipped from Montana to Wash
ington. Is the report that comes from
Seattle.
Mr.. Henry will use the Montana
horses on a sub-contract of Is miles
Of road his sons have on the North
ern Pacific's north bank extension
into Portland. They are now working
in the vicinity Of Arlington. The ex-
ira draft horses were hurried into this
state to complete the smaller con-
tract.
AS soon as the Northern Pacific
work is completed Mr.. Henry will
move his outfit to some point along
the line Of the Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul. 1t is probable his sons will
be given sub-contracts where the
equipment can be used.

BASKET BALL POSTPONED.
Dual Game With Colfax VIII BE Held
Tomorrow

The dual basket ball games with
the Colfax high school will be played
at that place tomorrow evening in
stead of tonight. After having train
ed hard for the contest the local play
ers received word from the Colfax
manager last night to the effect that
he could not guarantee the expenses
of the Pendleton teams, and that the
game would have to be given up. The
reason given was that the Colfax fac
ulty insisted that all expenses should
be assured by an advance sale of seats
for the game before the visitors were
allowed to come.
However, this afternoon the Pen
dleton managers were again called
by phone and informed that a suf-
ficient amount had been raised to
meet their expenses, and that the
game could be played tomorrow. The
offer was accepted, and the two
teams will leave for Colfax tomorrow
morning.

This afternoon the employee -direc-
tors of the Pendleton Tribune,
through their attorney, A. d. Stillman,
filed an answer to the suit recently
brought against them by E. p. Dodd
and others. In the answer the en-
ployes ask that the order heretofore
made for the appointment of Dr. F.
w. Vincent as receiver of the COM
pany, be cancelled and that the prop
erty of the company be turned over
to the defendants, and that he be re-
quired to account for his acts as re-
ceiver.
The answer filed is a lengthy one
and reviews the case in detail. In
general it denies most of the allega-
tions set up in the complaint filed by
the Dodd forces, and makes specific
charges in place of the general allie
cations made against Dodd in the
complaint recently filed against Dodd.
Perhaps the most startling thing
declared is that E. P. Dodd is the
owner of but 301 shares of stock in
the Tribune, that 80 other shares are
the property of the company and in
the name of the treasurer, while the
remaining 200 are held by the en-
ployes. At the close of the answer
is an affidavit from Mr.. Stillman to
the effect that when he filed the first
suit he had been misled through
statement made by Mr.. Dodd in the
presence of John McCourt, which was
that Dodd owned 400 shares. Where
as it was subsequently learned that
Dodd owns but 301 shares, but one
over half the capital stock.
Regarding the political attitude of
the Tribune, the answer admits that
the paper has for years advocated the
principles of the republican party,
and that it derives support from the
adherents of that party. However, it
denies that the success of the paper
depends upon money received for
editorial opinions as expressed in the
Tribune. 1t is averred that the paper
is of great value as newspaper
transacting legitimate business, and
WOULD BE OF GREATER VALUE
AS A NEWSPAPER PROPERTY
DID IT SUPPORT THE PRINCI-
PIES OF THE REPUBLICAN PAR
TY WITHOUT A PRICE PAID BY
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THAT
PARTY.
1t is strongly denied that the de-
PENDANTS have any designs of making
the paper a democratic sheet, or that

Nick Taltinger VIII Go to Canada
Next Week TO Begin Spring Work.

Nick Taitinger, formerly OF Atbe-
ma, but now a resident of Alberta,
who has been in the county on q
visit for the past month, will leave
for his home in Alberta next week to
begin spring work.
He has Just heard from Claresholm,
where his land is located and says
that four inches of snow which fell
there the first part of the present
week has all disappeared and the
weather Is delightful.
He says that oregon is not furnish
ing the only emigrants to Alberta as
nearly every state in the Union is
represented in the new settlements In
Alberta province. The vacant land
subject to homesteading is now
about exhausted near the railroads
and the settlers who go hereafter will
be compelled to buy land the prices
ranging from $14 to $50 per acre, ac-
cording to location. He is well pleas
ed with the country and will remain
there permanently perhaps.

County

ID. c. Brownell, the well known pio-
neer irrigator of Umatilla is being
strongly urged by his friends to stand

rigationist and fully understands and
is in accord with irrigation develop
ment and is highly representative OF
the irrigation interests of the county.
He is not seeking the nomination

this city and in the west end of the
county are urging him to become Il
candidate.
Mr.. Brownell is thoroughly con-
versant with the irrigation laws of the
state and favors legislation that will
permit of the highest development
with the least friction and legal tam
gle and his candidacy is strongly
urged.
