BEGINNING OF
LANDING SEASON
CONDITIONS PROMISING
FOR LARGE INCREASE
Small Bands Have Been Lambed
During Past Few Weeks-Ihis
Week VIII Mark the Real Begin
ming. However-Percentage of In
crease Expected 10 BE Fully 100
Weather Has Been Ideal-Winter
Lambing Successful.

The close of this week will find
lambing in full swing on the ranges
of this part of eastern Oregon Though
many small bands have been lambed
at various times during the past sew
eral weeks, this week marks the be-
ginning of the season proper.
From present and past conditions
and the reports which have already
come in, the percentage of increase
will be exceptionally large. Several
reports are of more than 100 per
cent, but the majority are close to
that figure, which bids fair to be the
average. 1t is said that the number
of twins is few, which condition of af-
fairs is greatly desired by most of
the sheepmen.
The estimate of 100 per cent is bas-
ed on reports from ]. \. Burgess, X.
G. Warner. The ]. E. Smith Livestock
company. Bob Stanfield, Joe Cunha,
William Slusher, Smythe & Smythe
and others. The weather has been
ideal.
Those who were brave enough to
try the experiment or winter lamb
ing have been very successful this
year and will reap rich rewards as
the result. The percentage of increase
has been large, ana the lambs are
large and strong, while the price for
spring lambs was never better. Con-
ditions for winter lambing could not
have been better.
Among those who tried the expert
ment were K G. Warner, Joseph

A ZERO COURTSHiP.

The Practical Young Man and thu
Girl from Boston had known each
other for nearly two weeks, and two
weeks is long time when there are
moonlight nights and a stretch of shel.
tered beach with an old wrecked
schooner smuggling down comfortably
in its sandy grave. 1t seemed as
though they had known each other
for years and years. The Practical
Young Man said so, and the Girl from
Boston, knowing him to be practical,
agreed with him.
One night, when feecy cloud
passed accommodatingly across the
moon, and the sheltered beach seemed
even more sheltered than usual, and
the old wreck was actually redolent OF
romance instead Of tar, on that night
the Practical Young Man so far for.
got himself as to ask the Girl from
Boston If he might kiss her.
The Girl from Boston shiyered.
"Oh! Sir" she cried, II have never
been kissed in all my life.'
That's all right" said the Practical
Young Man. Don't let that worry
you. l suppose somebody has got to

"Swtfthand.O

Sir Edward Clarke, X c., who has
invented new system Of rapid writ
ing which he calls "swifthand,' is a
splendid example of the self-made
man. When quite a small boy he de-
termined to become a barrister, but
his father was poor and could not af-
ford the education required So the
future K. c. set out to educate him
self and began by winning an Eng
lish literature prize offered by the So
ciety of Arts. Soon after he gained a
post In the India office, where he
worked until he had saved enough
money to pay for his education for
the bar. Perhaps Sir Edwards chief
weakness is his love for somewhat un.
conventional raiment. His yachting
"get-up' is said to be fearful and
wonderful, while the story is told OF
him being mistaken by an American
for royal duke as he emerged from
the law courts one day in all the glory

The non-magnetic yacht Carnegie,

to survey the oceans of the world.
was visited by Mr.. Carnegie. On his
tour of inspection, accompanied by DR..
L. A. Bauer, who has charge of the
yachts expedition, Mr.. Carnegie ex-
pressed great admiration for the ap-
pearance of the engine room. The
surface of each small piece of brass
or nickel was mirror; no soiled
waste or greasy cloth was anywhere
to be seen.
Mr. Carnegie said he would like to
congratulate the person who was re-
sponsible for the engine rooms ap-
pearance. The man was sent for and
listened respectfully to Mr.. Carnegie's
praise Then moving out of the room,
he halted at the door, and, smiling,
asked:

It carried a prize.

The following story, though true,
should not be read in the daytime.

monplace way in the world. He was
introduced to me at one of the numer-

secretary of the embassy, but neither
the post which he occupied nor his
face nor his conversation-which diff.
fered in no respect from that of most
people whom one meets-seemed to
account for the air of mystery which
attended his presentation to me and
which seemed to imply that it was an
event of Importance. My curiosity
piqued, I determined If possible to OBJ
serve the baron closely. He seemed
to me man of refinement, with the
polished manners Of a diplomat
