horses for California, have returned

These gentlemen report good bus
mess in Umatilla county work horses,
as they got rid of the entire "a in Los
Angeles, and intend to ship the next
car to the same place.
The horse industry promises TO be
quite lively this year; in fact it has
opened up much earlier than for
merly. Buyers are already securing
the country and report large work
horses are becoming scarce. Last
week carload went out over the W.

number were taken through Pendle-

ago.
With the great amount of projected
railroad work this spring, work horses
are going to become very valuable
and stockraisers of Umatilla county
will no doubt be able to realize hand
some profits from the sales to supply
this demand.
