HAS RECORD CLIP.
Over 5000, 900 Pounds of Wool Ex-
pected in Malheur County.

Ontario-The wool clip in Malheur
county this year will be much larger
than it was a year ago, or for several
years, as the fleece is in much better
condition, and there are also more
sheep in the county than for several
years. The clip last year totaled about
2,750, 900 pounds and was considered
very large, but this year 1t will be
more than 3, 900, 900 pounds and it will
be cleaner and much thicker per sheep
than it was last year.
One and one half million pounds have
already been sold here. for May and
June delivery, and buying continues at
a rapid rate, so rapid in fact that there
will be very little public selling this
year, as the sales days for Ontario have
been set so late. They are June Z and
81. There has been very little bad
weather this year, which is the partic-
ular reason for the fine condition of the
fleeces. The sheep have come through
the winter with less loss than for sew
eral years previous.
AlSCS NAAAS ~ -
81 cents. Last year they were about
IL to l6H cents. Very little of the
wool in this vicinity is going to the
Chicago warehouse. Most of it will be
sent to Boston, as in former years. A
number of wool growers throughout the
vicinity joined the warehouse plan, but
the majority continued in the old way,
as the prices in this part of the coun-
try have always been good.
Much Of the shearing this year will
be done by machine. Some complaint
of the machines have been heard, the
complaint being that they shear too
close for the best health of the sheep
but this does not seem to be credited
by many of the growers.
The annual meeting of the Malheul
and Harney Wool Growers association
will meet in Ontario on June %. A
that time all the wool growers of tht
two counties will be here.

STATES FINANCIAL CONDITION
Treasurer's Statement Shows Over
Million Dollars in Strong Box.

Salem The treasurer's statement
just out shows that the amount of first
mortgage loans outstanding is the
greatest in the history of the state,
having reached the sum total of S4,-
$50, ,S22.S2. AS result the common
school fund interest is growing rapidly
and there will thereby be a large
amount to apportion among the coun-
ties August l.
The common school fund interest is
now 1892, O07.94.
The state tax paid into the state
treasury during April was large, al
most $500, 900 being received. On ac-
count of this healthy condition of the
states finances, the total amount on
hand is the largest that has ever been
held at any time by the state for
great many years, the sum being ST.

Farmers First Annual Picnic.

Weston-The annual meeting of the
Umatilla county Pioneers association
will be held in this city May 2S and 29,
when it is expected that practically
every old settler will be on hand to re-
call the "good old days" when Eastern
Oregon was the home of coyotes and
the land was covered with sagebrush.
The first pioneer society to be organic
ed in Eastern Oregon was founded here,
and annually the meetings have been
held for over 20 years. Over 20 of the
early settlers of the county have passed
away during the past "a months.

More Time is Given.

Washington, May 17.-As a result
of several conferences, the Interstate
Commerce commission today announced
a postponement from June to July
of the time for taking effect of its de-
cision in the Spokane rate cases. The
commission recently had postponed un-

as result of conferences within the
last few days with the representatives
of the Hill and Hartman lines it was
decided today further to postpone the
operation of the order until July /.

Much Suffering and Death in Wake of
Kansas Tornado.

The principal damage was done at

east of Kansas City. In both of these
places practically every house was
either damaged or demolished, and
dozens of persons injured.

The storm followded terrific down
pour of rain. The wind came up sud-
denly, swooped down with but little
warning, and striking the small terri
tory described, wiped it out almost
completely. Frame houses were crusn-

inward, while others were toppled over
and carried from their foundations.
In some cases sides of buildings were
carried away, leaving the roof and a
few small articles to mark the site.

CHAPTER VII

Very sad was Maude when she heard
the evil tidings, and that she had but
short time left to look upon the grand
old chestnuts, the groves Of laurel, and
the soft, pleasant, turfy vistas amid which
she had been born. Bitterly she thought
how the loss Of all the accustomed sur
roundings would be felt by the gentle
mother she adored and we'll she divined
what would be her fathers sensations
when, having left the home of his ances-
tors, he should find himself exposed to the
monotonous existence of some watering

Now of course. II was all plain sailing'
morally, As a personal matter, the mean

would have suffced. Ii were better so
than 10 see a Denison OF Glinn so viiely
mated. But there were other ties to be
considered. He, Harold Denison. had un-
doubtedly betrayed the trust OF a long
line of ancestors.
Then he began to think once more OF
his daughter He felt compunctlon al
the idea of yielding his handsome Maude
to this low-born suitor. But then Maude
had never been TO him what an only chlld
Is to most fathers. He had never quite
forgiven the fact of her not being son.
and she had ever been more her mothers s
pet than his. Again, this candidate Tor
her hand had been brought up gentle
man, had the mark of the university
stamped on his based composition, ana,
in short. had done much to compensate
for the deficiency of birth with which he
had entered the world. He had seen
young Pearman upon two or three occa-
sions only. That gentleman, though the
blood of his father ran strong in his
veins, had quite sufficient tact TO avoid
showing II. He dressed quietly, and alb
stained from self-assertion when mixing
with the class in which he was so anx-
ious to establish himself. He was, nat
urally, too careful of his money to fall
into the error of most parvenues, that OF
ostentatious display. The little he knew
of him had not Jared on Harold Deni-
cf
be wholly unfettered. If she could be
brought TO think Of this man as hus-
band, II would really be good thing for
her in the end. And by such reasoning
the squire gradually worked himself
round to the conviction that 1t was, at al
events, his duty to submit Pearman's
proposal to Maude, and, further, to press
it strongly on her attention.
But before Harold Denison had arriy'
ed at this conclusion, there had beer
much grief at Glinn. He had told his
wife of the contemplated foreclosing oi
the mortgage, and explained to her that Il
meant ruin-that is, ruin inevitable, al
