HALF MILLION OF
DOLLARS THIS YEAR
AMOUNT RECEIVED BY WAL
Iowa COUNTY GROWERS
FOR SHEEP AND WOOL.

Fully 10000 sheep have been or
will be shipped from this county this
spring and summer, and a conserva-
tive estimate of the total returns,
made by one of the leading sheep
growers of the county, ]. H. Dobbin
of Prairie Creek. is $4,000. To this
total will be added the thousands of
dollars that will be paid Wallowa
county growers for lambs this fall
and the 100000 for wool. All told,
the sheep and wool business will
bring over half million dollars into
the county this year. That's some
money.
Mr.. Dobbin has already shipped
from Enterprise 42OO head of sheep
TO F, E. Runner at Billings, Mont,
and Will Stickney 100 head at the
same time TO the same man. Falco-
ner Bros. have sent out 1000 head
to North Yakima parties. A band
Of 5000 of Dobbin's growing are
being driven out to Elgin for Pinney
of Wyoming, and Mr., pobbin also has
1880 head and Falconer Bros. $500
head being driven by way of the
Snake river TO Butterfield of Weiser.
R. F. Stubbleield has sold 5000
head to Salvatore of North Yakima,
and another train load of 1000 head
will be sent 10 Runner at Billings
by Herman and Isen. B, D, McCully
will ship $500 two year olds TO Chi
cago, and E. R. Bowlby will drive
band of about 1000 ewes and lambs
to Idaho, they having been sold to
Boise man. c. P, Ragsdale and
NJ. E. Hotchkiss have shipped 1000
to North Yakima, and E. A. Ander-
son shipped out 1000 a couple of
months ago,
This is season Of wonderful pros
perity for the sheep men. Wool
brought the highest average price
ever received in here, though if 1t
had been held for a sales day the
general opinion is that the growers
would have received from one to
three cents more per pound. The price
of sheep is way up and seems to
keep q climbing, all the markets
east and west making new high
records.

The many Oconee friends of Mrs.

know that she still scatters sunshine
wherever she goes, and every pass

this angel of mercy.
Mrs. Reid recently entertained her
Sunday school class. In her class are
93 children. This is a mill Sunday
school, and, with her. assistant teach
ers, she entertained at her home 63
children, aged from two to eight
years. Dainty refreshments were
served In ways to delight the chill
dren, and to carry out the Sunshine
spirit ice cream from the party was
sent to the shut-ins.
A prize was given to the child who
brought the most handkerchiefs col
lected for the shower; and when all
the children's handkerchiefs were
counted 425 were brought in, and
Uncle Sam smilingly next day
knocked at Father Jacobs door and
left package to gladden. the hearts
of the children at Thornwell and Ep-

After delightful games the dear
little tots went home tired out, but
their rest was sweet, for their

found a big man who had a few
pairs of pants to pass on, and out of
one pair came two new pairs for the
little tots. And there were willing
hands among the women to help her
dress the children up.
Mrs. Reid will never realize the
good she is doing at this mill, where
she visits the sick, cheers the fallen
and inspires the young.

Daddy's Christmas Dream.

Is rather sad for Willy,
And likewise limits much the cheer
OF Mabel, Maude and Milly,
For they would welcome ten or
twelve
To shoot around the shanty
And in their stockings deep to delve
For goodies left by Sanity.
But once year Is quite enough
(Since buying's such bother)
When times are panicky and tough;
For these dear youngsters father;
In fact, poor daddy hopes the fates
Will cause (to get cheap year,
The calendar to change it's dates
And Christmas swap with leap
