Rip Van Wrinkle Sheepherder Finds
Saloon Doors Locked.

The La Grande Star tells the fol-
lowing story of a Rip Van Wrinkle
sheepherder who came in for spree;
A sheepherder from Wallowa
county who has been out in a camp
for the past year and a half, thinking
to have a high old time, came down
to La Grande night before last. Tired
and thirsty he hied at once to one of
his old hangouts and stepping up to
the door was greatly surprised to find
that 1t was securely locked.
Not to be fooled, however, he went
to one or two others, but the same
fate was in store for him. Finally he
spunked up courage to ask some one
what was the matter and was in
deed surprised on hearing that all he
could sget to quench his thirst was a
glass of mineral water.

STUDENTS ON FIRE PATROL.
Grew of University of Idaho Boys in
Bitter Root Reserve.

A crew Of IL University of Idaho
students has been selected by Forest
Supervisor F. A. Fem to compose
one of the forest ranger crews that
will be engaged in fire patrol and
trail construction work in the Bitter
Root forest reserve this summer, says
the Lewiston Teller.
The selection Of the university crew
by Major Fem is largely experiment
tai, but If successful the forest re-
serve work will afford employment
for hundreds of students during the
summer season. The regular ranger
enlistment is given employment dur
ing the entire year, but the fire hazard
and general reserve inspection de-
mands many extra men during the
summer season, when harvest employ
ment and other work offers better
wages than is paid by the forestry de-
partment.' II this work can be sue
cessfully carried on by the young
men of the educational institutions
the benefits to the department and
the students themselves will be mu-
tual, and superintendent Fem will
have solved a problem which has per-
picked the department for many
years.

WOOL ON RANCE
WORTH Il CENTS
BOSTON MARKET AD-
VANCED TO 20 CENTS
Utah Growers Elated Over Prospects
OF Higher Prices for Last of Clip
Boston Sales OF Past Week Amount
cd TO 1000, 900 Pounds.

Salt Lake, Jul y4.-Woolgrowers
were elated yesterday when Secretary
c. B. Stewart of the Utah Woolgrow-
ers received a telegram announcing
that the price of wool has advanced
to 20 cents a pound in Boston, which
would mean about II cents a pound
on the range.
But there is little wool left in the
hands of the sheepmen, with the ex-
ception of the clips that were placed
in storage.
From the chief eastern wool mar
kets the report has been received that
conslgnments have ceased and that
the dealers are buying anything in the
way of staple.
The interest in the wool situation
has been transferred from the west to
the eastern wool market.
Sales in Boston alone during the
past week amounted to 1000, 900
pounds. 1t is said that both dealers
and manufacturers are now eager to
buy and the indications are that there
will be a continued upward move
ment in the price of wool.
With the exception of Montana and
other sections, where the shearlng is
late, this years clipping has been
completed.
The amount of the wool produced is
no longer a matter OF guesswork. 1t
is said that this years clip contains
smaller percentage of staples than
last years clip.

NEAR BEER" FOR PENDLEToN
Walla Walla Brewers VIII Furnish
Mock Booze.

Pendleton will not be "dry" TODAY.
Not by any manner of means, for by
the time the afternoon train pulls out
for the Oregon city which has been
held in death-like grip by the demon,
Thirst, for the past two days, there
will be an ample quantity of NEAR
beer on the platform at the o. r, &
n. depot, consigned to soft drink deal
ers there, says the Walla Walla Union.
1t will be good news to the Ore
gonians, without doubt, but Pendleton
will not be alone in her enjoyment Of
the made in Walla Walla" product.
for 1t is the intention to supply all
cities in Oregon where there is apt to
be a call for the new Intoxicating
beverage.
The carbonating machinery ordered
some time ago by the Betz Brewing
company. arrived in the city yester-
day, and is being set up preparatory
to manufacturing large amount Of,
"Near-beer" this forenoon.
The head brewers of the two local
establishments recently returned from
the east. where they went to take in
struction as to the manufacture Of
the new beverage, and it is reported
that the new machinery will be placed
in operation early tomorrow morning.
But little, If any, of the prohibition
drink is to be sold in Walla Walla,
for the reason that it might tend to
ln1ure the business of local liuuor
dealers who are required to. secure a
license for the sale of thes ordinary
beer. That localspeople would well
come the new drink has been evident
from the number of telephone calls
which have been received by the two
breweries during the past two weeks,
asking for Information as to when tho
manufacture of near beer" was to be
taken UP in Walla walla.

Now that the levee contract has
been awarded Pendleton will soon
have greater amount of public i'm
provement work under way than it
has ever had before in the history of
the city, for, as shown above practi-
cally S125, 200 is to be spent here this
summer for that purpose.
Work on the city hall building is
now well under way but the building
is not yet 20 per cent completed. 1t
is estimated that it will require un-
til January l to finish the building
and have 1t ready for occupancy.
Bids for a site for the new federal
building are to be opened by the treas
ury department July Is and it is un-
derstood that the contract for the
erection OF the building will be let
soon afterwards.
On the same date, July Is, the pip
ing and other material for the ceme-
terry watering system is slated to ar
rive here. AS soon as it comes ac-
tual construction work on the plant
will commence. Under the contract
which the city has with w. A. Fin
nell, who will construct the reservoir
and lay the piping, he must complet,
his work by September Is.
In the contract let last night to w.
c. Belts it is not specified when work
must be undertaken. However, Belts
is given only until November Is to
complete the task and as a result he
will begin at once in order to finish
the work before high water ensues.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
My Dear Sir and Comrade Your
weekly Jeffersonian Of October Is is
at hand, and | wish you to use the
enclosed 81 to help you out in your
gallant, but uphill, fight in behalf Of
the common people,
And now, my dear Mr.. Watson, let
me give you a few words Of advice.
After the election you are going to
call conference Of the Populists to
lay plans for a continued fight for
our principles for the next four years.
That is the proper thing to do. But
do not make it sectional, for the
reason that at least nine-tenths of the
reforms for which we have contend
ed for 10, these many years, are need
ed here in the East and North as we'll
as in the South and West-although
[ am aware that you will get the
quickest returns from those sections
Gas [ lived in Kansas from 1869 to
1881, and am an old Greenbecker
from away back. Still, I hope, Mr..
Watson, to both see you and hear
you speak in the near future here in
New England, perhaps here in Dan
ielson. We need shaking up here
very badly.
I am nearly sixty-two, and my
health is poor, but as one of the Old
Guard, I will never surrender.
Truly your friend,
THEO, F. BAILEY.

Ny dear Mr.. Watson: It is amaz-

giving your time, your money and
your life for a people who are so un
grateful that they stand idle and see
you struggling in this great battle for
their freedom, and never raise their
voices or lift a helping hand-and
they are the farming and laboring
people.
Brothers, let us send in our mite,
as the widow did, and help pay the
expenses of our own cause. It is
heavy burden on our brave and noble
leader to pay for the tickets chat
ought and must go to every district
in the State. Let's all help him.
Don't say it is too late, for it is not,
even though it does not reach him
until after the election We justly
owe it.
Mr.. Watson is making the greatest
fight of his life, and all for the great
common people, the people who feed
and clothe all other classes Of the
world. Comrades of the CO.'S, and
the old true guards of the 90's, let S
help him on TO victory, and the honor

Dear Sir: I notice in the weekly
Jeffersonian Of the 18th instant, Mr..
Farris in replying to Alfred Henry
Lewis says that Bryan voted for an
Ex-Confederate soldier to the Post
master-Mr. j. d. Calhoun. So he
did. So did Senator Allen and the
Republican Senator who, I think, was
Thurston, and all the Representatives,
both Populist and Republican, from
Nebraska. But Mr.. Farris did not
tell that J. D. Calhoun supported
Bryan in both his races for Congress,
which he did, and if I am not mis-
taken, brothers paper was the first
to advocate Bryan s nomination for
Congress.
Yours truly,
FRANK CALHOUN.
