SALES DAYS MAY
Be CALLED OFF
LIKELY THAT LITTLE
WOOL WILL REMAIN
Large Wool Sales in all Parts of East
crn Oregon May Have the Effect
or Annuling the Official Sales Days
Opinion is Expressed by Secre-
tary Smythc-Many Local Sales
Have Been Made During Past Few
Days-2O Cents Ruling Price.

Owing to the great activity of the
woolbuyers in eastern Oregon, all
sales days may be declared off. 1t is
possible however that one sales day
will be observed in Pendleton. Hepp-
ner and Shaniko. This is the opin-
ion Of Dan p. smythe, secretary of
the state wool growers association.
Thousands of pounds of wool are
being contracted for daily at from 90
70 y cents and if the present activity
of the buyers continues for a few more
days there will not be thousand
pounds of wool left unsold by May
"a, the date of the first sale which
was to have been held in Pendleton.
1t is believed that the Shaniko
growers will be the last to give up
their sales days as they have been in
the habit Of holding their clips re-
gardless of the efforts of the buyers
to Jar them loose. Secretary Smythe
is therefore of the opinion that Shan
iko will have at least one sales day,
even though all those for the other
cities of the state should be aban-
doned.
Local Growers Selling.
The contracting fever did not strike
the Pendleton and Pilot Rock grow
ers until recently but during the past
| few days the amount of wool sold
has been immense. AS high as 81
cents has been paid and it is said
that nothing lower than 20 cents has
or will be accepted by the growers
of this vicinity.
Among those who have sold are Rugg
Brothers, Charles Matthews, c.. A
Johnson, l.. L. Mann and Herbert
: Boylen. 1t is also reported that the
Pedro and Rust brothers have dis.
posed OF their holdings. A few large
clips have not yet been sold. Chief
among these are the Cunningham
sheep and land company, the j. L
Smith, the Slusher and the X. G. War
ner clips.
From present appearances the new
securing mill plant at Echo will not bC
compelled to work day and night t'
handle the wool committed to its care
Some of the principal stockholders IL
the plant have already sold thei
wool and it Is not believed that mucl
more than 125,O00 pounds will b
SECURED. This includes the Hoskin

does not indicate that Pendleton high
school will win first place as the re-
suit of today's finals, Nat Kimball of
this city stands show of winning the
cup to be presented to the athlete
making the most individual points.
The following account of the first
day of the meet Is taken from the
Walla Walla Union:
Before a crowd of about one thou
sand people the preliminaries of the
ninth annual tristate interscholastic
track meet were run off in good time
yesterday Although the track was
in good condition the wind made
things a little chilly and doubtless
prevented as good time being made
as would otherwise have been done.
The meet went off in good order,
without a hitch, and began promptly
on time. From the first shot of the
pistol at 2:05, to the finish of the
relay, at $3.50, there We're no delays,
and Dorsey Hill and his squad of Ell
ficient officials are to be congratulate

Many OF the schools succeeded in
qualifying nearly every man in his

]. Kessler, a prominent horsebuyer
of Portland, was sandbagged, robbed
and left for dead, by Umatilla thugs
last evening. Not the slightest clue
to the perpetrators of the dastardly
crime has been obtained and the Of

effort 10 locate them. More than
$500 was secured and as the victim
was still unconscious at last reports
II is feared he will die.
Kessler is one of the well-known

buyer fell victim to the highway
