abnormal INCREASE
IN SHEEP FL0CKS
LARGEST LAMB CROP
REPORTED IN YEARS
Iambing Season Comes to Close With
Large Percentage Increase and Ex-
cessive Feed Account Is Balanced
Conditions Have Been Favorable
For Landing.

With the lambing season in UNA
tilla county almost at an end the
flockmasters are beginning to feel
that they are already well repaid for
the extra amount of money they had
to put into hay. and grain for feed
during the extraordinary winter. Ow-
ing to the splendid condition in which
the ewes were brought through the
winter and owing to ideal lambing
conditions which have prevailed since
the breaking up of the long cold spell,
the percentage of the lamb crop this
year will be the largest in many years.
The woolgrowers therefore figure that
the extra percentage of increase will
be enough in many instances to over
balance the excessive feed account.
Stockmen always figure that their
flocks and herds will come through
the winter in better shape if the snow
n cold weather lasts consistently
than If they come by spells. The stock
will consume the feed better when the
ground is frozen all the time than
when it is soft part of the time and
some grass is in sight to tempt them
away from the more nutritious hay.
Therefore, though the sheepmen felt
the extra expense which they were
put to during the winter. their ewes
are so much stronger that their losses
OF ewes and weak lambs has been the
least in years. With the present high
prices it will not take many lambs
to make up the difference.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
ty, and indeed all of eastern Oregon.
are to the effect that the percentage
of increase will be from 95 to 100
per cent, while in many instances the
percentage will be very much better
than 100 per cent. Under ordinary
conditions an increase of 80 per cent
in flocks of range sheep is considered
good. Usually there are a number of

BACHELORS FALL WILL
COST HIM $1,000 FINE

Philadelphia.-There may be young
men who scott at the idea that 1t Is
expensive to fall in love, but Harry
Marrits isn't one of them. 1t will cost
him $1,000 above the expenses usually
incidental to courtship, because he
~succumbed to the charms Of a beauti-
full New York girl, Miss Estella Crane.
MI. Marrits was president of the Blen-
helm Bachelors club.
The Blenheimers organized to exalt
celibacy. They organized three years
ago n vowed and raised their right
hands and did other things Of like
character, all to the end that the
world might know they were unalter-
ably opposed to matrimony. Mr.. Mar
rits was the most earnest of them all
in the thing. He suggested that a pen
atty Of $1,000 attach to the detection
of any member. The suggestion was
adopted.

FRANCE LAYS PLANS
FOR AN AERIAL FLEET

Paris.-Within the next few months
France will have in her aerial fleet
at least a dozen dirigibles and an
equal number of a%eroplanes. The
Wright biplane, the Henry Farman
biplane, the Maurice Farman biplane
and the Bleriot m%onoplane have al
ready been decided upon as the types
of the majority of the aeroplanes to
be used.
One of the new dirigibles will be
named the Captaine-Chaure and one
the observation-disclosures in honor of
the officers who lost their lives in the
disaster to the Republique. Two 9TH
er dirigibles have been offered the
government by the Lebaudy d~iriglble
constructors, and Spiess, another
constructor, will donate another. The
Captaine-Chaure and the Lieutenant
Vincenot, with four a~eroplanes. are
the gift of the public to the nation
through a subscription started by LIE
Temps. Though only 100000 was
raised in this way, the fleet mention
ed, valued at about ~$150,OO0, was
made possible through the generosity
of the builders of air craft.
Under the auspices of the National
Aerial league, a military commission
with General Lavroix as president, has
been formed to study the question Of
armament, strategy and tactics from
the birds point of view, so to speak

that a single band will go below 90,
while many will go above 100.
Coyotes Less Numerous.
Reports from different sections of
eastern Oregon also indicate that the
coyote bounty law has been the
means of effecting a decided reduc-
ton in the number of destructive coy
otes. Many hundred of these animals
were killed during the past twelve
months and the warfare is still to be
continued relentlessly. There are
probably not so many hunters max
ing a business of killing them as dur
ing last spring, but those in the field
are the more experienced ones and
the results of their efforts are nearly
or quite as great as the combined
forces of last year.

An Italian Superstition.

There is an Italian superstition that
whenever king belonging to the
house Of Savoy dies a huge eagle Is to
be seen crossing the Alps over the val
ley of Aosta in the direction of Savoy.
and the conviction prevails among the
inhabitants of Aosta that this eagle
guides the soul of the dead sovereign
to Join those of his ancestors in Savoy.
When King Charles Albert died at
Lisbon. King Victor Emmanuel died
at Rome and King Humbert was as
sasinated at Mona in 1900 the eagle
was seen winging its way across the
Alps. All other eagles crossing the
Alps don't seem to count for much.

It is surprising that such should have

the hunting down Of witches and the

The theory as to categorical reply was
completely exploded by the gentleman
