It seems that while playing E
game of cards with Joe Bannister
in the bar room of the Hotel Echo
Banpister proceeded to take down
a pot by sheer force instead OF
showing the best hand.
In showing his disapproval of
this breach of etiqutee, Metcalf
whipped out gun and commenced
shooting at Bannister. One of
the four ehots fred took effect in
the side of John Venable the bar
tender, causing a slight flesh
wound.
Metcalf and Bannister were
fined $50 each in the Recorders
court at Echo, but District Attor-
ney Phelps has now taken hand,
and Metcalf is indicted on the
charge Of assault with sintent to
kill.
Metcalf skipped out and his
whereabouts are unknown at the

100000 grain bags that have been
purchased by this organization di-
rect from the importers or manu-
facturers./ Neither the price paid
nor the name of the firm from
whom they were purchased has
been given out, but the price is
evidently much lower than that
made bv the local grain buyers as
orders for 2S5,00O bags were taken
Saturday afternoon in a few
minutes. 1t will be necessary to
make another buy in few days as
orders are now signed up for 36-
600 more sacks than than they
have purchased.
As this was the first meeting
held since the incorporation articles
were filed, officers were elected as
follows: G. A. Barrett, president;
II. G. Willis, secretary; James
Johns, treasurer j. O. Hales, vice
president.
The articles of incorporation
give the organization the power to
buy and sell as we'll as sack and to
own and operate warehouses.
The proposition of E. n. Nc
Cav, president of the Washington
association for a union of the two
organizations was turned down by
the local growers.
The meeting held Saturday was
largely attended and was by far
the most enthusiastic one held
since the organization of the asso-
citation last fall.
Five bids for the furnishing of
sacks were received by the CON-
mittee and these bids represented
firms in Philadelphia, Kansas City.
Portland and Seattle. One of the
bids for the furnishing of 250,000
sacks was accepted and another
one of them may be or more bids

proposes to cooperate with the
federal officers and he believes ir
this manner that it will be only 6
short time until scab and all other
diseases now prevalent among the
sheep will be totally eradicated
from the state.
The members of the commission
and the sheep inspector, all an
nounced that they intended to put
their shoulders to the wheel and
to see that the law was strictly en-
forced. They say that they ex-
pect the cooperation of every
sheep man in the state as the law
was. passed for his benefit and not
for the purpose of harrassing any
one.
Inspector Lytle says the dipping
will be commenced at once and
must be conducted 10 every in
stance under the supervision and
direction of either the state or fed
eral inspectors. Also that one of
the 16 recognized dips must be
used. If these conditions are not
complied with the sheep man will
be compelled to dip his flock the
second time.
The preparations which are rec
ognized are of two classes, the old
lime and sulphur dip and Is others
comprising tobacco and sulphur
dips as we'll as the proprietary
lime and sulphur.
Flock owners are advised to be
sure to consult either the govern
ment or state inspectors before
buying other than the two or three
we'll known preparations.
Wool growers are urged to make
ample preparations in regard to
dipping vats and to consult the
proper authorities as to the best
plans to construct efficient facili-
les 50 as not to delay the good
work when it is once begun.
1t is heartily urged that the

common end and that end to be

is state sheep inspector for Ore
{ gon, having been appointed Satul
s day just before the close of the al
day session of he first meeting O
, the sheep commission. The thre
: members met early in the day an'
, perfected their organization b,
choosing T. F. Boylen, of Artel
ope, president, and Dan P. Smythe
secretary. This means that Pend
leton is to be the headquarters fo
the inspector as we'll as for th'
commission says the Pendletor
Tribune.
There were two other candi-
dates for the Office of state sheer
inspector, DR.. W. J. Jones, of JEFF.
ferson, and DR.. w. s. Eddy, ol
Oregon City. Both of these men
had endorsements from Western
Oregon, but DR.. Lytle was strongly
recommended by the state wool
growers association, nearly every
association in Eastern Oregon and
by prominent sheep men from
every county comprising this Sec
ton of the state. His appoint
ment was unanimous.
DR.. Lytle is a graduate veterin-
arian of the Iowa State college at
Ames, Iowa, and has had six years
practical experience since gradua-
ton. -Four of these were spent in
the federal service, the last three
being in this state in connection
with the bureau Of animal in
dustry.
DR.. w. S. Mcclure, head of the
government bureau of animal in
dustry for the northwest district,
expressed himself as being highly
pleased with the selection as he
thought that DR.. Lvtle would
make a very efficient officer. He
also feels confident that the newly
appointed inspector is man with
whom the government officials can
cooperate to the fullest extent in
the matter of putting into effect
the provisions of the new law,
which he regards as a most ex-
cellent measure.
Lytle says that the governor will
at once be called upon to issue a
quarantine proclamation against
the states of Nevada, California,
and washington. Idaho has al
ready eradicated scab from among
the sheep of that state by this
same means and efforts are now
being made IN this direction in
Nevada and California, bat moth
ng has been done in this regard in
Washington. The governor will
also be requested to ask the bu-
eau of animal industry to COOP
erate with the state officers in the
sheep disease in Ore
ron.
DR.. Mcclure appeared before
he commission and assured the
members that if this was done the
government would put 25 men in
he state at once to assist in the
.leaning up work.
The commission decided to rec
to the inspector the ap-
of these men as special
leputies and that they be given
he same powers and privileges as
he state and county deputies and
)r. Lytle has said that this will be
lone.
The law also provides that there
hall be one resident deputy in

even more glorious than have been the
achievements. Hog raising will soon be-
come one of the remunerative occupa-
offer wide field for investment as bet
ter prices for these products are OBJ
tained than in the central states, and
hay and grain are even more cheaply
grown. But besides this, Wilson Creek
has still natural resources entirely un-
exploited. For instance, deposits of ex-
ceptionally fine tile and brick clay lie
adjacent to the town, from which ex-
perts claim terra Gotta and rough pot
terry may be made. Water works and
lighting plants are also among the
needed and remunerative openings for
investment. And besides these there
are opportunities in several lines of in
dustry which would return good profits
to conservative and experienced men.
So many of these opportunities are open
that it is needless to catalogue them.
But with the progress made under the
difficulties incident to the development
of a productive region from a sage
brush waste, it is amply demonstrated
that the future has greater things in
store and already the town is talked Of
as a railway junction point through the
building of a line to connect with the
rich mining and agricultural region
north of the Columbia, with the famous
water grade to tidewater. For invest
ments, Wilson Creek and it's tributary
country offer better opportunities by
reason of natural advantages than any
of it's sister towns. To the farmer, fruit
grower, manufacturer, tradesman or
professional man in search of a home
and a remunerative location, this point
is unexcelled. Information on any point
relating to Wilson Creek will be cheer
fully given by the secretary of the
commercial club. This body was Or
ganized for the purpose of furnishing
reliable and efficient data to intending
settlers or investors, and is another evil
dence Of the enterprise which character

Importance of the townsite by the loca-
tion Of a roundhouse and division ter
menials there some ten years previous.
This was doubtless due to its location
midway between Spokane on the east
and the Cascade mountains on the west
and to the fact that Crab creek at this
point furnishes an abundance of water
free from injurious alkalies for engine
or other uses. ~
In the summer of 1900 settlers be-
gan to come into the country and by
the following spring the existence OF
town was assured. In the fall of 1901
a special train brought some fifty
families from Jackson county, MINI.
The noise Of the hammer and saw was
not stilled for the winter and houses
and business buildings were rapidly
constructed. A newspaper, the Big
Bend Chief, made it's appearance in De-
cember, 1901, and it has since come to
be recognized as among the best Of Its
class in the state.
The gently rolling sagebrush prairie
extending to the north, west and south
west was soon dotted with homes and
although less than 5000 bushels or
wheat were marketed that fall the next
spring found thousands of acres in crop.
Meanwhile the government land to the
southeast had been entered and was
fast being occupied by determined home
makers When the agriculturists ar
rived in this section they found 1t occu-
pied by occasional stockmen whose
bands of cattle, horses and sheep roamed
at will over the country. And these
stockmen predicted from their expert
ence with the valley bottoms, the early
death of agriculture on the hills or table
land. In fact the farmer was their
laughing stock for the first two years.
But in spite of the ridicule heaped upon
them by the early settlers the farmers

persisted in the subduing Of the soil
and reaped as result Of their labor,
larger crops than they had ever been
accustomed to. In the fall of 1902 two
firms were buying wheat and several
thousand bushels were marketed.
By the winter Of 1923 the popula-
ton had increased so that second
school building was erected to accom-
modate the children. Quite contrast
now is the town with four-room brick
school building, and filled to overflow

In the heart Of the famous Big Bend
wheat region of eastern Washington, at
the confluence Of Wilson creek and Crab
creek, is located the thrifty and pros
porous town Of Wilson Creek. 1t is
built upon the level, fertile bottom of
the valleys, but already the residence
portion is beginning to appropriate parts
of the surrounding hills. The settle
ment Of the town practically dates from
the spring of 1901, although the Great

OF necessity there has been a direct
cause for this rapid upbuilding of a
commercial center in a desert sage
brush prairie" and the prime reason has
been the development Of agriculture in
the surrounding country. This growth,
though hardly begun, has indeed been
phenomenal. From the importation Of
farm products in 1900 six years has in

creased agricultural activity until the
past season there were 100000 bushels
of wheat, $4,000 bushels of oats and
more than 5000 tons Of hay shipped
from Wilson Creek. To get an idea of
the product, however, one must con-
slider the food stuffs consumed at home
and hay and grain fed to stock as well
as the grain reserved for seed, which
will swell the amount Of grain to fully
half million bushels, and hay to 10000
tons for the country tributary to the
town.
But this is not all Of Wilson Creeks
production by any means. During 1906
there were marketed as follows:

~
To this must be added, in addition
to wheat, oats and hay, large quanti-
ties Of dressed meats, poultry, eggs,
hides, ETC., which will unquestionably
raise the value of expectations to $400,-
600 for the year.
Horticulture is also coming to be
recognized as a prominent industry in
this section and nearly every ranch has
an orchard of apple, peach, pear, prune
apricot and other fruit trees started
some of which will come into bearing
the present season. These trees all look
thrifty and healthy. All sorts Of root
crops are grown to perfection and with
much less care than in the central
United States, while garden truck re-
wards the careful grower with more
than commensurate returns.
All this has been accomplished from
the virgin soil in six years. for the most
part by people who relied wholly upon
their own exertions for support of life.
Business firms, which began in a small
way with a few hundreds of dollars,
now carry stocks worth thousands.
Ranchers who were too poor to buy
plow or drill, now own their ranches
with full compliments of farm tools
and machinery. Bank deposits increased
