HOLDS CONVCT'S
TESTIMONY GOOD

Holding that a convicts testimony
was admissible, Judge Bean ruled
Col, Raley, an attorney for Hayes,
the cattle stealing case, this morning
Col. Raley, an attorney for Haeys,
had asked to have the testimony Of
Melvin Buck, jointly indicted with
Hayes, excluded on the ground that
he had been convicted and was un-
der sentence to the penitentiary.
The bringing up of this question
yesterday brought the trial of the
case to a temporary close, but it pro-
ceeded today and will probably go to
the jury late this afternoon. Consid-
erable interest has been manifested
in the trial, the court room being well
filled with spectators this afternoon.
No additional indictments were re-
turned by the grand jury today and
none are expected before tomorrow
evening. The jury is still investigat-
ing the liquor cases and 1t is doubt
full is these will be disposed Of this
week The thorough manner in which
the jury is probing these cases will
cause the report to be delayed that
much longer.

.LYTLE CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION

An important meeting of the state
board of sheep commissioners is to
be held In Portland Saturday and
Monday. The appointment of state
sheep inspector will be among the
most important items of business to
be transacted.
DR.. w. II. Lytle, the present state
sheep inspector, is a candidate to
succeed himself and so far as Is
known here there is no opposition to
his reappointment and no rival can
didate for the position. 1t is therefore
considered probable that Lytle will
be the man named.
Attorney Dan P. Smythe, who is
the secretary member of the COM
mission, leaves tonight for Portland
to be present at the sessions. He says
that so far as he knows, Lytle is the
only candidate for the position.
As this is an annual meeting, 9TH
er business of Importance is also to
be transacted.

Is GIVEN
OFFICIAL WOOL SALES DAY

Official announcements of another
change in the woof sales dates for
Oregon, was made this morning by
Secretary Smythe, of the state wool
growers association. At the request
of Secretary c. L. Hartshorn of the
Wallowa county association. the date
of June "a for Eigin has been elimi-
mated and the date of July 6, has
been given to Enterprise.
This will be the first sales day
ever held in The Wallowa valley Prior
TO the building of the railroad last
summer, it was necessary to freight
the wool out to Elgn, where the sales
were held. Since the building of the
railroad however, the amount Of wool
to be offered for sale at Elgin will be
insignificant and the change of dates
was made accordingly.

HARTMAN AND HILL
WARRING AT LEWISTON

Spokane, April 16.-A lively strug-
gle for supremacy in the Clearwater
territory will soon be waged at Lew
iston. Idaho, between Hill and Har-
riman as a result of breach of
truce. 1t is apparent that Hartman
and the Milwaukee interests have been
planning to oust Hill for eighteen
months. 1t is believed that the
Northwestern Lumber company's
road, from Vollmer to Craig and the
Clearwater Lumber company's road
projected from Orofino to the Clear
water timber district and the Nez
Perce and Vollmer Electric road are
parts of a system giving the Harri-
man and Milwaukee interests a direct
route from Mute and Missoula to
Portland, through the Clearwater dis
trict. With feeders they are catching
tonnage from the best producing dis
tricts.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-16

Pat Farley, n woolgrower OF Ar
llngton, has contracted this seasons
clip at a price that evidently breaks
all records in comparison with the
price received for the same clip last
year. He has Just sold his $4,000
pounds TO Charles Green for IL cents,
which is nearly three times as much
as he received for his wool last year.
the price paid then being sh cents
per pound.
The reason. however, for the great
ly increased price is due more to the
improved condition OF the fleeces
than TO the Improvement in the wool
market. This clip is classed as sand
wool and the admirable climatic cons
ditions which have prevailed during
the winter and spring has enablea
him to secure a much cleaner CLIP
than usual. Those sheepmen who
contracted their sand wool several
days ago and have not yet sheared
will profit by the transaction since
the wind of the last few days will fill
the fleeces with sand and make them
heavier As the contracts have al
ready been made the wool cannot be
docked because of extra dirt.
Local Growers Hold Clips.
Though wool is being contracted in
various sections of eastern Oregon,
the growers in this vicinity and in
the vicinity Of Pilot Rock, are show
ing an inclination to hold. II is esti-
mated by Charles Green and Il. j.
Burke. two of the leading buyers, that
$4,000 or 100000 pounds have been
contracted for in Baker county. Abou,
a third of the Arlington clip or be
tween 10000 and 100000 pounds
have also been contracted for. About
100, 600 pounds have been sold at
Heppner. but aside from the Stanfleld
and Hmginbotham wool of Echo, no
other clips OF any size on this side
of the mountains, have so far changed
hands.
The Baker county growers have
showed an inclination to sell at the
advanced prices, since the opening OF
the season. The growers who run
their sheep along the Columbia river
have also taken advantage of the op-
portunity offered to dispose of their
product, but the sheepmen who run
their flocks on the foothills and are
not troubled with the sand. have been
slow to sell.
Sand Wool Advances.
The reason for this is probably due
to the fact that the difference between
last years prices and these for thfs
year, is far greater in the sand sections
than in those sections where the wool
is usually free from dirt. Severa,
clips in the vicinity of Arlington have
been sold at an advance of 100 per
cent over last year, while nothing like
that has been offered for the Pendle-
ton or Pilot Rock wool Though the
prices here will be higher, the differ
ence over last year will not be nearly
so great.
Owing to this difference In the
quality of wool, in the different sec.
tlons. II is impossible to form an ac-
curate estimate as to the advance in
the wool market The only way in
which It can be figured is on a scour-
ed basis, the price for secured wool
being from 10 to 12 cents better than
last year.
