the Umatilla project, and states that
while he does not know positively, and

Work at the big dam is now going

employed there.
Work on the concrete drop from the

ly by Hand

Next Monday morning II the warm
weather continues, the click of at
least 100 pairs of sheep shears will
make music in the west end of Una
tilla county.
The crews averaging at least 10 men
will begin work on the large bands
in the Butter creek and Pilot Rock
districts and for the next six weeks
the husv season will be on. Owing to
tho extremely unfavorable weather of
the past few weeks, the grease in the
wool has been sold and shearing has
been impossible and for this reason
the shearing season will be somewhat
late.
The price for hand shearing will be
I cents and board this season and a
large proportion of Umatilla county
sheep will be sheared by hand. The
hand shearers will average about So
per day, each, some OF the men reach a.
ing 100 per day. others falling down
to 20 and 10.
The Mcfarland shearing crew con-
sisting of 10 men left the city this
morning by team, for A. A. Coles
ranch on Butter creek where shear
ing will begin Monday. The crew has
a large number of bands engaged and
will be employed for the next six or
seven weeks In that district.
1t is estimated that there are about
100000 sheep in Umatilla county to
be sheared, the cost of shearing this
number at cents per head costing
$4,000, which will be divided among
perhaps 100 men engaged in the work.
After finishing shearing in this
county many of the crews will go to
Sprague. WASH, and Huntington.
where they will continue the work
until the season ends In Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, when many of
them will then go to Montana and
Wyoming to finish the season in those
states in June and early July.
