With the first wool sales day but
three weeks off, things are commenc-
ing to get lively in the local wool
market.
Thus far there Is little wool at the
warehouse, though two of the largest
concerns in the county, the Cunning
ham company and j. e. SIN tn, have
some of their wool now stored. How
ever. shearing Is now on all over the
county, and within the next 10 days
wool teams will commence to line the
highways leading to Pendleton. Near
ly all of the growers wish to have
their clips, or at least good samples at
the warehouses by the time the first
sale is held. AS the buyers prefer to
have the entire clip on hand at the
SALE as many as can do so will have all
of their wool hauled by the sales days.
Warner Is Optimistic.
That the growers will receive fully
as good prices this year as last, is the
belief of Kenneth Warner. one of the
most prominent and best Informed of
the Umatilla county growers. The
basis for Mr.. Warmers belief is that
In the Boston and London markets
the prices are now as high as they
were n year ago, and as a result he
declares there is no reason why Ore
gon growers should not fare as well
as they did then.
Another reason why we should get
good prices this year is the fact that
the wool is lighter this year than
usual" declared he, while discussing
the subject this forenoon. For ex-
ample, | brought a band of 500 g.
year-old mutton sheep to town yes
terday. Their clips this year weighed
practically the same as the clips from
the same sheep two years ago, when
they were yearlings. Under ordinary
circumstances those clips this year
should have been much heavier, but
the conditions have been such that the
wool is light and consequently 1t Is
worth more"
In view of all the circumstances
Mr. Warner contends that prices Will
be alright this year in spite of the
bear talk of the buyers who have re-
Gently arrived upon the scene. He
believes that the need of wool by the
factory men will prevent any combi-
nation from being formed by the spec
ulators, and that when the sales days
are held the growers will get prices
that will not be poor.

SHEEP POISONED.
Crook County Herd Lost 21 by Cya-
nide of Potassium.
special from Prineyille saws:

A special from Prineville says:
Ralph Porsily, a sheepman OF Upper
Crooked River valley, lost 81 head of
sheep last Thursday evening by cya-
nide poisoning. Sheriff Elkins, who
has been quietly working on the case,
says the poison has been mixed with
common salt and scattered around IN
the grass about spring in !he very
center of Porsily's decided land. One
of the herders noticed the sheep fall
ing and thinking something was
wrong, fastened to get the band away
from the spot, but not urtil 81 had
dropped. Analysis of the salt ma le
here discloses the fact that II was
heavily impregnated with powdered
cyanide of potassium.
Porsily has for some years been the
owner of land formerly occupied by
shorty Davis" who disappeared some
seven years ago, leaving no trace.
The range is 16 miles east of Prime
vile. Porsily himself refused to talk
about the matter or help the sheriff
in any way.

On the coming Saturday, May 4, the.
long expected horse show will be held
in this city and the final preparations
for the big affair are now being made
by Frank Frazier and the other men,
bers of the fair commission under the
management of which the show is to
be given.
This morning Mr. Frazier made the
following announcement regarding the
points at which the various elements
in the parade are to assemble.
The lady riders on West Webb street
just off Main.
Draft stations and Shetland ponies,
on the vacant ground between the
Bowman hotel and the o. R. & N.
depot.
Trotting stock and draft mares and
colts, on the vacant ground between
the fair pavilion and the o. R. & N
freight depot.
All those taking part in the parade
are instructed to be at the above To-
cations with their stock at 1890 in
the forenoon Saturday.
| In forming the parade the order Of
march will be as follows.
! Lady riders.
! Trotting stations.
Single drivers, (trotters).
Trotting teams.
Trotting mares and colts.
Draft stations.
Shetlands.
Draft teams.
Draft mares and colts.
Thirty-two mule team.
The order of march will be from the
fair pavilion down Main street to
Court: out Court street to Mill north
on Mill to Water; west on Water to
Main: up Main to the fair pavilion
No Registration Necessary.
Regarding the matter of entries,
Frank Frazier says:
1T will not be necessary for a man
to register his stock before taking
part in the parade. All he needs to
do is to have his horse or horses prop
erly groomed and at the designated
places at 1890 in the forenoon. After
the show has been held the pedigrees
can be made known.
Will Be Fine Affair.
Judging from the interest now be-
ing manifested in the coming show.
the parade Saturday will be one such
as Pendleton has never seen before.
There are scores of fine trotting and
draft horses to be entered and the
parade will doubtless be long one.
one interesting feature of the show
will be a 32-mule team entered by
]. w. Tulloch. the we'll known farmer,
which will bring up the rear of the
procession. The mules will either be
hitched to one of the road rollers or to
wagon and a trail.
Autos Please Refrain.
In order to prevent any possibility
of accidents during the horse parade,
1t is requested by Mr.. Frazier that all
autos be kept away from the line OF
march during the parade and for some
time before and after the show. BY
such action on the part of auto owners
the danger of any of the horses be-
coming frightened during the parade
will be greatly lessened. While no
accidents might result from the pres
ence of autos, yet II is considered
much safer by Director Frazier and
the other members of the commission
to have them tabooed during the show.
and If the wishes of the horse show
management are respected, there Will
be no automobiles on Main or Court
streets during the time the show is In
progress.

while in many provinces the proportion
