Fred Falconer completed a big

on the same day he bought ZOO
head, 5000 ewes from E. o. Maxim
and 2300 yearling wethers and 24O0
iambs of John and Leonard Johnson.
The Pine Creek ranch that figured
in the foregoing deal is one Of the
pest stock ranches in the county and
The new owners will make hand
some profit on it,
Mr.. Falconer is optimistic over the
outlook for the sheep business, not
withstanding the low price for NUT
Ton in the ca stern markets. 1t is
Just the time to go into the business.
lhe wool market is stiffening every
lay. Following the Heppner sale
with high mark of 15A, came the
Shaniko with wool selling as high as
1875.
All Wallowa county wool is beng
held for the sales day at Elgin on
July 8, and as Wallowa county wool
$ the best in Oregon the major part
)f the clip ought to bring above Is
cents. Mr.. Falconer predicts the
,rice range will be from II to II
ents.
About two thirds OF the wool
has been sent oIt to Elein. Shear
ing at the Baudan plalt is com
pleted and three or four days will
finish it at Makin's. The wool is of
excellent quality and will average Sh
pounds to the fleece is Mr.. Falcol-
ers estimate. About 10000 fleeces
will represent the Wallowa county
clip. a falling off in quantity from
former years, but still enough to
bring in, probably $4,000, a tidy
sum these hard times.
The dates of wool sales at prin-
