Trains by the thousands pass thru
this city over it's three roads each
month of the year. This statement Is
the result Of an interesting count Of the
trains which was made during the
month of January by Ray Dewitt, who
is day leverman at the interlocking
plant on South Third street, which
controls the crossing over which all
trains that go thru the city pass.
During the thirtdy-one days of January
between the-1lours of z o'clock in the
morning and o'clock in the evening,
1,756 trains passed the interlocking
plant. This is at the rate of little
more than fifty-six trains a day. The
night trains were not counted but COM
putting them at even 500 less during the
month the total for January would be
over 5000, an average of ninety seven
for each twenty-four hours.

Last year 1t was assessed on an
average OF 81 an acre. and this year
the average will be ss. Some of the
land the company owns in the coun-
ty is absolutely worthless, while some
of 1t is a great deal more valuable
than IS an acre. but the assessor con-
cluded the latter figure would be a
good average.

woolmen estimated that not to ex-
ceed 100000 pounds of wool re-
mains unsold in Oregon and Washing
ton, about half Of which is south Of
the Columbia river. Twice as much
was unsold in oregon at this date last
year.
As but little was contracted in the
state in the present year, 1t will be
seen that the season, after 1t once
opened, was a decidedly active one.
Nearly all of the wool bought, has
been, by this time, sent on its way to
the eastern markets and mills. Rail-
road facilities were good, as they usu-
ally are during the wool shipping
period.
The general run Of eastern Oregon
shipping woods sold this year at from
IS to 90 cents, while last year the
average price was about IS cents.
Heavy shrinking securing WOODS
brought generally from IA to II cents.
The top prices paid we're % cents a,
Pendleton and 21 SIS cents at Sham
ko. Last season the Shaniko brought
23A cents. There are other instan-
ces where individual clips did not re-
alIze as much as a year ago. but or
the average the price paid was about
cent better.
Experts have declared that the 1907
Oregon wools are inferior in quality
to the 1906 clip. One authority esti
mates that the intrinsic value Of thu
product this year is ~ less than tina
of a year ago. The woods have rui
lighter due to a variety Of causes. tn

they assert were not warranted by tn

II was not in spirit OF philanthroph,
however, that these high prices wer
paid. Competition made them neces

buying, in fact, was the feature Of tn
market. In the previous year tn

0REG0N's 1907 WOOL CLIP WORTH
s3,800,0O0

The woolgrowers of Oregon. in the
season now drawing to a close, have
enjoyed more than their usual share
of prosperity, in fact, the year has
probably been the best in the history
OF the Industry of the state, says Sum
days Oregonian. Prices have never
been so high since the present range
conditions existed and compared with
late years, the cost of production has
been less.
The total clip of oregon this year
Is estimated at 10000. 900 pounds. Last
year the sheep produced about 49,
900, 900 pounds. The value Of the
1907 clip is approximately $S,soo,O0O'

of the previous year by about $780,

Besides the eastern money the WOO
has brought into the state, there have
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-07-26

There is now In progress through
out the northwest, in Pendleton as
elsewhere, a determined warfare on
part Of lumber dealers and hardware
men, to check the large mail order
business Of such houses as Montgom-
cry Ward & Co. and Sears g. Roe
buck.
It is well known that these large
firms send hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of building hardware.
such as door locks and hinges, window
fixtures, mantels, barn and shop fix
lures and equipment, tools, imple-
ments, buggies, wagons and other
manufactured articles into every state
each year.
This enormous business is grow
ing at an alarming rate and the Retail
Lumber Dealers association has en-
listed the hardware men and other
kindred lines, to make a fight on
these foreigne companies doing busi-
ness In western states. but contribut-
ing nothing to the support Of govern
ment in the way of local taxes.
One Of the methods which these
allied associations will use to whip
the mail order houses will be to order
catalogues from them by the thous-
and, using names Of people who will
agree not to purchase. In this way
the expense of issuing catalogues will
be run up on the mail order houses
while their business will not be in
creased thereby. This, II is hoped
will have a tendency to check the
spread Of the mail order business.
1t is said that agents Of the lumber
and hardware men in many places ir
the central western states have hired
boys to order catalogues, one little
J town in Nebraska yielding 700 cata'
l0gues from Montgomery Ward & Co
in one week, while not an order wal
sent the big firm from that town. B!
thus increasing the cost Of catalougu'
advertising without adding to the NAL
order business the allied foes Of tn
mail order houses hope to drive then
from the west and confine their oper
ations to territory close to thei
homes.
The lumber and hardware dealer
have much public sentiment wit
them in their fight for the reason tina
the big mail order firms do not COP
tribute to local expenses of county o
state, but make money entirely out
the country. A fund has been raise
by which the warfare will be carrie
on continuously until the end
achieved.

$4,000 but the board OF equalization
cut the assessment on the rolling
stock down to $1,000, making a total
of $1,000 less than the assessor did.
Nineteen thousand dollars a mile is
what the road is assessed at In Doug
las, Linn and other counties In west
ern Oregon as agreed upon at an as
SCISSORS convention a year ago, and
Assessor Keeney intends to abide by
the agreement made at that time.
