The last and perhaps the best pub
lie wool sale to be held in eastern
Oregon this year was held at Elgin
yesterday when the remainder of the
wallowa county clip, amounting to
400, 900 pounds. was sold at prices
ranging from IS to 20 and SIS cents
per pound.
The woolbuyers' special car. which
left here Wednesday morning for Ell
gin, bearing the well known party Of
wool buyers who make Pendleton
their headquarters during the wool
buying season. returned on No. last
night and was taken through to
Portland, the season being at an
end.
Three of the buyers, Burke, Green
and Abbott, will perhaps remain in
Pendleton during the summer, and
1t is probable that Mr.. Burke, buyer
for Judds, will remain here until the
securing mill colses, some time in the
early winter, but all the other buy
ers will have returned to their homes
in the east by the end of next week.
There are but a few lots Of wool left
unsold in eastern Oregon, and these
will be disposed Of at private sales.
The Wallowa county wool sold at
Elgin yesterday was clean and of
good grade and the buyers are well
pleased with the result of the sale,
Much of Wallowa county's clip had
| heen sold at private sale long before
the sales days, but those who held for
the sales were well rewarded for do
ing so, as the prices at Elgin yester-
day averaged higher than any receiv'
ed for Wallowa county wool sold a
private sales previous to the sale
days.
Next year the wool buyers hope t
ride into Joseph on the o. R. & n
branch line which is being con
structed into Wallowa county.

CHARTER FEE DOUBLING.
Senate Passes House Bill After Amend.

most OF the morning session Wednes

to amend the automatic tax bill passed
at the regular session, which related
entirely to advalorem taxes, by ex.
tending its provisions to include school
tax: also authorizing county commits
sioners to reduce school tax in their
discretion. A number of amendments
were proposed SO as to authorize city
councils and village trustees to regu-
late school tax. The bill and amend.
ments were ordered printed in the
journal.
The senate passed finally the house
bill doubling all charter fees after
adoption of a committee amendment
making the double increase applicable
to railroad charters, the house having
increased such fees four times over
the present amount. an amendment
puts the fee back to only double Sen.

an amendment adopted striking out
that provision requiring foreign cor.

HOOKING THE WARY TROUT.

The Circle: Trout when hungry
usually face the current This fact
should be remembered when approach
ing bridge or eddy where the "speck-
led beauties love to hide" If possible,
such spots should be approached up
stream. 1t may take little more time
to go around and come back up, but
make haste slowly is said to be the
first axiom of trout fishing.
AS the stream becomes warmer, the
trout seek the cool pools and shaded
places. They are to be found where a
cold spring bubbles up into the stream
or where mountain creek enters often
a number frequent the same haunt. Each
additional fish means two more eyes to
watch for the fisherman. One trout is
all that is necessary to give a danger
signal by darling away The rest i'm
mediately follow suit To catch more
than one-or even that--in such place
takes skill in the use of the line. But
who has said that trout fishing is not
an art?

Picayune: The famous picture, The
Battle of New Orleans" by Eugene
Lami, that up to the time of the Senate
chamber FIRE had been hanging on the
walls of that portion of the capitol
building, was today shipped to New Or
leans by boat with all insurance OF
$4,000 upon it. The picture, it is est-
mated, is worth more than $4,000, but
this is the limit of the insurance that
was taken upon it. The painting is sent
TO New Orleans to be retouched by one
of the famous artists of the country who
Is working there. Along with it were
sent several other paintings that have
been in the capitol, but have been in a
measure neglected in the past and need
ed retouching. THE Battle of New
Orleans. will be returned to Baton
Rouge and to the capitol building. Dur
ing the last session there was sugges-
ton of the appointment of a committee
for determining the ownership of the
painting, with view of removing it to
New Orleans, and a resolution to this
effect was introduced but not passed.
