SelectinRth the Ram.

For the beginner in the sheep
business and one who is keeping
only q few on the farm to keep
things clean, there may be some
question in his mind as to the
best kind of ram to use or his
ewes. II he has been in the cat
tie or hog business, he will have
little difficulty in selecting his
ram, because the general type of
meat producing animals, whether
cattle, sheep or hogs is the same.
The form should be low down,
blocky, thick fleshed and early
maturing, In order to get as
high a per cent of high priced
meat as possible the hook and
and loin must be broad and thick,
and the thighs full and deep, legs
short, and thick, head short and
broad, and as much finess of
bone as is consistent with.
strength and constitution. Not
only must the ram possess the.
above mentioned requirments,,
but he should have a deep, broad
chest denoting constitution and
vigor. He should have the char
acter about him that indicates
that he will transmit his good.
points to his lambs. The indica.
tons of prepotency are a masu-
line head, strong thick neck, and
general development of the fore
quarters and sexual organs. II
you keep mutton sheep, use a
block, thick fleshed ram.

HOODLUMS UPROO7 YOUNG FRUIT TREES

Encouraged In lawlessness by an IL
licit whlskey seller of Wapato, who
derives no profit fromJapanese and
Chinese trade. band of hoodlums
on Sunday visited one Of the orchard
properties of w. B. Holt, about two
miles from Wapato, and uprooted or
cut down between 800 and 400 young
fruit trees. says the Yakima Repub-
lie. The same men visited the nurs-
cry owned by the Wapato Nursery
company threw down the fencing and
dragged II over the county road and
posted notices OF warning of further
,outrage in the event of the owner
continuing to employ oriental labor
there. Similar notices were placed in
other orchards where japanese or
Chinese have been employed.
The matter Is being investigated by
the sheriffs force and the officers
hope to arrest the offenders and put
a stop to any further vandalism.
Encouraging Lawlcssncss.
Certain people in Wapato, including
a blind pig" man in that town, are
known to have encouraged an
antl-Japanese sentiment. This year
a considerable tract of country
around Wapato has been planted with
young fruit trees and, being utterly
unable to get white men to work
steadily, the owners have been forced
10 employ Japanese and Chinese, The
orchardists state that the men who
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-19

can be found at Wapato will work
only for a few days. Just long enough
to earn a few dollars to buy whiskey
with, and then they will lay off until
the money is spent. Sach workmen
are worthless to the orchardists.
The notice placed in the Wapato
nursery was to the following effect:
Warning Notice.
III you expect to sell your nursery
stock to white people, do not employ
Japanese. Warning"
The notices in the other orchards
are of similar import.
Sheriff Edwards states that the
wrecking of Mr. Hollis young orchard
has not been officially reported to
him yet. but that he has already COM
menced an investigation and hopes to
land the offenders. THAT sort of
thing is not permitted in this county
II can stop It," said Mr.. Edwards.
"The next development might be a
riot"
w. b. Holt, whose place was de-
stroyed, is the owner of several hun
dred acres of orchard land near Wa
patio and has expended upwards of
$4,000 on improving this property
He is regarded as one of the principal
upbullders of the Wapato section.

Hyomei Gives Quick Relief IN Catarrh
Troubles.

Troubles.
Be wise in time and use Hyomei at
hle first warning OF catarrhal troubles.
Do not let the disease extend along
the delicate mucous membrane, grad
ually going from the nose to the
throat, thence into the bronchial tubes
and then downward until the lungs
are reached and you are in danger of
consumption.
Hyomei will cure all durable forms
and stages of catarrh. 1t Is so uni
formly successful in curing this COM
mon yet dangerous diseases that Tall
man & Co. take ali the risk of trial
treatment. ~
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good. None can take its place, none
give such quick and sure relief and
at so little cost. It's medication Is
breathed through pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, thus
reaching the most remote cells of the
air passages, killing the catarrhal
germs and soothing and healing the
irritated mucous membrane.
Begin the use Of Hyomei today and
YOU will soon find that the offensive
breath, the droppings into the throat
the discharge from the nose and all
other symptoms of catarrh are over
come and cured, The complete out
fit costs but $1.00 and Tallman & Co.
stand ready to refund the money If it
does not cure catarrh.

DIRTY STORES MUST GO.
Washington Club Women Take Up
Cudgcl for Cleanliness.

Washington club women are start
ing movement to cleanse meat shops
and grocery stores, says the Spokane
| Chronicle.
In many of the cities of the state
are markets where the fresh meats
are hung in such a position that dogs
and cats can smell and taste the food.
The conditions are so shocking in
some of the shops that If the propri-
etors were in states other than Wash
ington they would be prosecuted, 1t
is reported.
Some grocery stores are so poorly
kept that pickle barrels, vegetables
and other stuff stand around where
animals can reach them.
The National Federation of Wom-
ems clubs requested that the state or
ganization bend its efforts toward OBJ
tanning pure food. Mrs. o. G. Ellis
OF Tacoma, Is chairman of the pure
food committee of the state organiza-
tion and this matter has been turned
over to her.
Mrs. Ellis has written to the mem
bers of her committee, who reside in
the different cities of the state, rela-
tive to this movement A committee
meeting will be held in the near fu-
ture, 1t is stated, and plans will be laid
for the crusade against dirty stores.
Several years ago the club women
of Portland undertook to get the man.
ayers of grocery stores and meat shops
to conduct cleaner places and theil
work produced gratifying results. The
careless merchants at once began to
clean up their places and saw to it
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-19

that dogs and cats were not rubbing
their noses over the food.
AS a result the Portland women Sc
cured an inspector, Mrs Sarah ]. Ev-
ans, who now goes around the city
and sees that dealers run clean
places.
1t was explained that it was not
their purpose to antagonize any one
and they hope to get the merchants
to cooperate with the women in pro-
curing pure food.
