CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.
Livestock World Says Lambs Were
Very Scarce.

Choice lambs were up a dime, but
medium grades were no better than
steady, says the Chicago Livestock
World. Sheep were scarce not enough
arriving to make a market, but they
were quotable steady. Shorn lambs
were cleaned up, but were not popu-
lar. They were hard to move at s56
$50 for the bulk, but real choice
were quotably a little higher.
A top was made on choice western
lambs at $6.S5, and the stuff selling
at $3.50 and up was a dime higher
below that there was no change.
More sheep would have been taken
at steady prices, but very few got in
A year ago today good to prime
western lambs were quoted at s7.25
q1.75. The range today is s6.25@
6.75, or 81 per cwt. lower.
Top fed western wethers were
worth 1925 a year ago, or about the
same as now. Yearlings were then
quotable to 81, or so cents more than
at present.
Sheep have sold freely this week
and in spots have shown strength.
One lot of extra fancy wethers made
$3.50, but it takes prime stock to
fetch s6.25.
shorn stock is coming freely right
along, but so far has not met with
much favor. Prices are generally
sl.25 lower than for wooled stock of
the same flesh and quality. More
shorn stock has arrived so far this
month than materialized during the
same period last year, showing that
the feeder is looking to high-priced
wool to help him out.

An Affidavit.

The suggestion of an English barris-
ter that certain matter was proper
subject for oral examination, not for
afidavit, agreed with the emphatic
opinion of an English justice recently
retired. He was once trying case at
the Manchester assizes in which man
had been cross examined upon an affl-
davit. Summing up the evidence to the
jury, the Judge said, Gentlemen, Of all
the weapons in the whole armory Of In

FORMALDEHYDE FOR SMUT.
Washington Professor Says 1t is Ef-
fective If Rightly Applied.

A. Kunkel, the well known imple-
ment dealer of this city has just re-
ceived a letter from Prof. R. Kent
Beattie of Washington Agricultural
college regarding the use of formal
dehyde as smut preventative in seed
wheat.
The letter highly commends the
formaldehyde treatment and says II
this is propely applied there is no
doubt about it being sure preventa-
tive of smut.
The letter is as follows: After thor
ough experience with 1t, / can assure
you that the formaldehyde treatment
is the proper treatment to use. 1t is
far more effective than vitriol, and
If properly handled will not kill the
wheat.
The trouble Is, farmers usually are
not accurate in following directions
By experimenting have found
that the strength of one pound OF
formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water
will kill the wheat, but the strength
recommended in the directions, one
pound to As gallons of water, when II
is not soaked too long and the gas is
allowed to act while 1t Is in a pile
will not kill the wheat.
In fact, our experiments have
shown that the treatment aids with
the termination of the wheat. Some
farmers treat with farmalrehyde and
allow their wheat to mould before
getting it into the ground. The mould
of course is very injurious to the grain
and in this case the grain will proba-
bly, not germinate. Care should he
taken to dry out the seed after
treating. If this is done carefully the
seed may be kept any length of time.

Echo, March 26.-The main camp
of the government engineers on the
East Umatilla project is now located
at Foster. and they are now engaged
in locating the permanent ditch line
from there to the head of the canal
about a mile and half above Echo.
The line through here will follow the
mill race most of the way.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in securing the right of way. The
ditch will pass through the land of
AZ different persons in the entire dis
tance of % miles which it will cover.
All of the even or government sec
tions filed on since 1883 are subject
TO this right of way, which is practi-
cally all secured, excepting a little
along the Umatilla river above Ehco,
which has already been secured. The
odd sections or railroad lands are not
subject to this right of way, and it
will have to be purchased from the
owners If satisfactory terms can be
made with them, otherwise it will be
arbitrated or condemned.
Ezra Meeker Tonight.
Ezra Meeker, who is retracing his
steps over the old Oregon trail, made
years ago, with an OK team, is ex-
pected to arrive here today, and it is
understood that he will give lecture
here tonight.
Plenty of Water.
Butter Greek is now running a large
stream at the Stanfield place, a cou-
pie of miles above its mouth. There
has been no water there, and for a
few miles above, for nearly two years,
owing to a lack of snow in the noun
tains, and the settlers on lower Butter
creek had little or no water. While
little water came down part of the
creek late in the winter, the settlers
were not ready to use it, and let it
go by excepting to irrigate later, but
as the water did not reach them again
they had none at all. In spite of this.
however, two and in some cases three
crops of alfalfa were cut, but the yield
was not as large as usual.
Profiting by last years experience
everybody was ready for the water
this year and as soon as it came the
land received a thorough soaking.
While the creek has been running
some two months the water has all
been used above and the land is now
thoroughly soaked, which will insure
an abundance of water lower down as
II will gradually seep away down the
creek bottom. This, with an abund-
Of In, he
ises plenty of water for all the year
There was less water in the creek
last year than has been known for 27
years, according to some of the old
settlers.
Trying to Square 1t.
Joseph Allen, who passed a number
of worthless checks here a few days
ago. amounting to over 800, is now
making an effort to raise enough
money to square his bad checks, and
the parties from whom he got the
money state that they will let him
off If he will make good. 1t is re-
ported that the tin-horns here got
most of Aliens money, and it Is be-
lieved that this is where most of his
money went. An effort is now being
made to get some of the money back
from the tin-horns, however.
The new creamery building, which
is being erected in Echo, is now max
ing quite showing. The stone foun-
dation is about completed and most
OF the frame work is up. A large
force of men are now at work.

Pr.st!caI Joke on a Minister.

Not a few preachers would be glad
to be the victims of such a practical
joke as was recently played upon the
Rev. Mr.. Hagerman of oxford, Mich.
At the annual meeting of the church
of which he is pastor the question of
hiring a preacher comes up for dis
custom.
At the last meeting of this society,
when the subject was brought up, a
good deacon arose and said: "All those
in favor of retaining Brother Hage-
man for another year-at the same
salary-will please rise"
Not a person rose, and the minister,
who was present, felt as uncomforla
BILE as possible, and heartily wished
himself anywhere else. Then the good
deacon who had put the question arose
again and said, with a twinkle of the
eye: 81 see no one favors that mo-
ton, so I will put it again in this way:
All those in favor of keeping the Rev.
Mr.. Hageman at an increased salary
will please rise
Everyone got upon his feet. Then
1t dawned upon Mr.. Hageman that he
had been the victim of a joke. ard a
smile lighted his eyes and the color
returned to his cheeks. Some of his
best friends had planned the surprise,
and the little scheme had worked to
perfection.-The Rams Horn.
