tigation, which is arousing widespread
interest, relates to the determination
of the quality of waters. A systematic
attempt is being made to collect, by
simple field methods, information in
regard to hardness, turbidity, alkalin-
ity, and other physical characters of
surface or underground waters, which
have a direct bearing upon the plants
or products of manufacturing and
other industries. The pollution of
municipal water supplies from sewage
or from manufacturing waste is also
being investigated, and the facts col
lected are presented in reports which
are greatly interesting the public in
such abuses.
All Of this work belongs to the hy-
geographic branch of the U. S. geolog-
ical survey, and the reports are issued
free of charge upon application to the

BIG DEMAND FOR WESTERN SHEEP
Eastern Men Are Making Purchase:
in Oregon and Washington for
Early Delivery.

Already eastern buyers have visited
Oregon and Washington ranges and
made heavy purchases of sheep for
early delivery. The first movement
will be greater than in 1895, but it is
not expected the years shipments in
Oregon will exceed those of last sea-
son, When they reached close to $780,
900 head.
c. J. Mills, livestock agent of the
O. r. & N, says indications were
never better for the sheepmen in this
territory. Prices paid for yearling
wethers are from 1925 to $3.50 and for
yearling ewes from $3.50 to $2.75, while
last year the early quotations were
$2.10 to $2.35 for yearling wethers and
1925 to $3.50 for ewes" he said in
Portland. the shipments will COM
mence early in May, Immediately after
shearing. Buying is not confined to
any particular district, but is general
in the sheepraising localities of Ore
gOn and Washington.
There are in Oregon about 4,000,-
900 sheep, but shipments are governed
by the demand, not the supply, the call
being always in excess of the supply,
so far as the eastern market is con-
cerned. This has been particularly
tr,le in late wears Our ranges are be-
ing rapidly wiped out. We have 10000
homes on land now which was I'M
broken sheep range five years ago.
1.-The movement in cattle is also
promising, as well as in horses. Some
heavy purchases have been made of
both, in fact greater buying has been
done so far than was recorded for the
same period last year"
