East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-10

Portland, May 9.-Whlle they have
delayed the success of the Chicago
wool warehouse scheme by paying ad-
vanced values for wool, 1t is not like
ly that the proposition will meet with
a Waterloo hereafter.
Wool markets are firm everywhere
and prices paid at interior Oregon
and Willamette valley points have
been advanced about Y all the way
through during the past week. 8
Demand for woods was never heav-
Ter than at this time and because OF
their eagerness to secure supplies, the
hlr woolmen of the east have flooded
the country with their representa-
tives and each is bidding against the
other in order to secure stocks.
According to information gathered
from various sources 1t is now believ-
ed that but Is per cent Of this years
wool crop remains unsod in the
hands of growers. Practically So per
cent Of the coming clip has been con-
tracted in this state on the Sleeps
back and the same proportion is said
to rule in Idaho and Montana
SO heavy have been the sales and
so good have prices been that II is
unlikely that many regular sales days
will Ice held In this state Or other
places the present season. Whether
woolgrowers will regret their early
sales. remains TO be seen, but 1t is
generally the rule that higher prices
are obtainable at regular sales than
a: single transactions. II the big
wool buyers were so eager to secure
supplies-as they have shown by their
operations during the past few weeks
1T Is more than likely that they
would have bid still higher II the
sales had been held where their COM
petltors were at hand to bid still
higher.
Crop Conditions Promising.
Wheat crop conditions look even
better than during the previous week
in practically every section of the
Pacific northwest. Last weeks gen.
tie, though persistent rains, have
been a wonderful aid to the plant, al
though in only few scattered in
stances was the crop in the slightest
danger OF reduced output.
Cattle Show Strength.
While there was a very poor show
ing OF cattle arrivals in the Portland
yards during the past week, this con-
diton is not entirely a local affair.
for supplies everywhere are scant and
the highest values in years are still
In effect. During the week COZ head
OF cattle appeared in the yards. COM
pairing with 500 last week, 432 the
previous week and 1171 head three
weeks ago.
Because OF the scarcity of fancy
stuff in the local market it is well
nigh impossible to state exactly what
price grade of steers would
bring at this time. Practically no
fancy stuff showed up during the
week. but considering the price
brought by inferior stuff, the printed
value on best would be stretched a
fraction or two, possibly to Sc. How
ever there's no telling until the ac-
tual transportation is made.
Sheep Show Strength.
Weakness in the sheep market be-
gan to disappear during the latter
part of the week. For about 10 days
there has been severe fit of depres-
sion in the market for lambs and
early in the week the dullness be-
came so intense that prices were beat
down to IS flat, but today sales were
made up to 1926, denotlng an i'm
proved condition and better buying
power.

Hawk and Eel Fight in Midair

A shrugged in midalr between large
salt water eel and a fish hawk was
witnessed at Oak orchard, Del. The
fish hawk had pounced on the eel,
which was nearly three feet long, and
was trying to carry 1t away. The
wriggling eel wound around the legs
and wings of the hawk, hindering the
birds flight For nearly five min
utes the struggle continued, but the
eel proved too large and the hawk
was obliged to drop 1t back into the
river.

Mrs. Samuel Lutz of Garneill was

Minneapolis through Judith Gap Sat
urday, and both ladies made the Jour-
nal office a pleasant call. They were
delighted with the bustling little city,
and may possibly make some invest

Attorney &. 5. Bills returned Mon

nation as he had practiced in North
Dakota for number of years.
Charles Francisco returned We'd
nesday from Lewistown where he
went to purchase an isolated tract
adjoining his farm. He bought one
tract Of l2O acres and another Of 40
acres at 1925 an acre. On account of
the land adjoining his present farm,
Mr.. Francisco considers he made
$1,000 by his late purchase.

The Garneill correspondent of the
LewistOwn Democrat, took a trip
through the Judith Gap country re-
Gently and writes entertainingly as
follows: 1--WE hitched on to our old
blackboard one day last week and
drove over a section of country, be-
tween Garneill and the Musselshell.
where in years gone by, we tended
our tlOcks by the murmuring streams.
No woolies or gentle shepherds were
to be seen. What was once vast
prairie is now large farm, compris-
ing thousands of acres, divided into
100 and 32O acre lots, fine houses and
barns are being erected, the land will
soon be all under cultivation, and
every one we met seemed to be salts
fled and contented with their pros
poets. In our humble opinion, land
through this section will, in few
years, be worth $500 an acre. The
fine range is indeed a thing of the
