NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE stock

largely made up of Il contest between
professional parties in the specula-
lion. with Il very small outside per-
contage. The number of shifts in the
course OF the price movement up to

in connection with it was that the last vote of Warden Rodenbach as a member of the board was cast with that of the democrats, although he is republican.
 The regular monthly meeting of the board of warden and burgesses was held last night. The meeting was presided over by Warden Roden- bach, all the burgesses were present. The report of the tax collector and also the chief of police was read and approved. A communication was read from Mrs M. c. Nodine in which she asked that a sewer be built near her property on High street. The matter was left for the new board to dispose of. A junk dealers license was granted to Samuel Rubin. A communication was received from the envelope booth tenders of the first ward at Mondays election, stat ing that extra labor was entailed by reason of the vote on license, as two sets of envelopes were used, and that pay should be given. The board voted to pay $1 extra to all envelope booth tenders at last Mondays cleo tion, making the price S4. A bill for $15 was received from the three se- lectmen for sitting on May 2, for the purpose of making voters, but as only one voter was made on that day the board thought that the bill was too high and instead of giving $5 for the day they paid half of the bill, or $2.50. A sewer plumbers license was granted to Peter F. Megin, and also to Curtin & Doyle. A petition was received signed by twenty-three residents of North Main street protesting against having the sprinkling done on that street by the borough sprinkler, and William V. Schmitz of South Main street en- tered protest against the same thing being done there, but the mem- bers of the board thought that as the street was macadamized the only way to keep it in good repair was by wetting it down, so no action was taken on the petition. The board finished up their work and voted to adjourn sine die, as the new board will take office next Monday.

OBJECT TO
SHEEP DIPPING
Deputy Inspector Enjoined
at Echo.

Deputy Sheriff Blakely was in Echo
last week 10 serve a temporary writ OF
injunction upon Deputy State Sheep In
spector j. H. Bryant, restraining him
from dipping band OF about 5000 sheep
recently brought to Umatlla county
from the state of Washington by Bry-
son & Adams.
Those unacquainted with the heroic
struggle that has been made by Deputy
Inspector Bryant during the past two
years, have no perception OF the amount
of labor that has been injected into the
work of eradicating the disease OF scab
from the sheep in this county, and his
close watch that this dreaded disease
does not again get started is highly COM
mendab ble. The increased revenue now
being realized by sheep men from their
herds over what used to be the income
from their ragged ond diseased bands is
50 great that the local sheep men are
u lanlm cusly in harmony with the in
spector, but those bringing bands from
Washing ton, which state is now in quar-
antine, cause little anxiety on the part
