SHEEP SHIPMENT
EASTERN MARKETS
FORTY CARLOADS WILL LEAVE
NEXT wEEk-Two SIDES
TO QUESTION.

The shipment o. about 10000 sheep
to the Chicago market by j. II. Dob
bin, w. H. Graves. Fred Falconer
and Others left the first of the week
20 cars going from Elgln and is from
this station. Under ordinary cir
cumstances there would be num-
ber of buyers in the valley be-
fore this time, but 1T seems that
the limitations put upon the sheep
business by the Forestry service
in the matter of controlling the
range, and the increase in the price
Of hay by the farmers has made II
necessary to dispose of portions OF
the herds whether the price is sat
isfactory or not.
In discussing the matter one sheep
raiser said: 'The sheep business
is in pretty hard lines this year. es-
pecially for those of us who are in
it and have to buy large part or
all of our hay for winter feeding.
in addition to the cost of the summer
range in the Iorest reserves, we are
also paying more for labor and all
supplies, and ON top of all OF this
comes the demand Of the farmers
for IS per ton for hay. The price
Of wool was such disappointment
that the outlook at this time is very
discouraging. Many of us are just
debating the question and will have
20 decide whether to take chances on
shipping to the Eastern markets. If
we buy hay and feed here we know
That there will be loss, and can
figure out about what 1t will be. In
shipping we may lose much heavier,
but we have chance of pulling
out even"
In contrast to the sheepman's
view of the price of hay is that of
a farmer who said: "Well, the day
of 81, S. or even Sc hay is past.
The sheepmen practically set the
price of our hay for many years past
and they should be in good finan-
cial shape to pay the increase. II
we can't get SS per ton many OF
us will no doubt bale the hay and
put it on the city markets either
later in the fall or this winter.

PARADISE eLlNrs.

Paradise, August 26.--Dry and
smoky.
A fruit agent representing the MIL
ton nursery is canvassing this
country.
A report has reached us that the
Hendrickson brothers threshed five
acres of wheat that made so bushels
to the acre.
Benton Conner and wife passed
through Paradise today.
Gilbert Phillips and wife are here
visiting relatives.
A peculiar accident occurred while
threshing wheat at Joe Beach's. A
load of bundles caught fire from a
spark from the engine at the hind
end. A man was on the front
end OF the load. yet the load burned
up and ruined the hind wheels OF
the wagon. Don't know how the MAJ
escaped, but he Is still alive.

Horses and fluleS
Here High Quality
WaiIowa County Now Has Some Of
Best Stock Raised in Northwest,
Says Local Stockman.

= A horsejbuyer from Seattle, who
axes quite regular trips into this
county has just returned to that city
With carload OF good horses for
that market. He picked up the car
load in a few days and will no doubt
return later for another lot.
The horse and mule raising busi-
less Is on the increase in this coun-
" and ID 1t con linues a reputation
tor quality and quantity will be es-
tablished that will attract the atten-
lion of many other buyers.
One stockman in commenting on
the prospects for the future in that
business said: ''Wahowa county is
great place to raise horses and
mules, and l am glad to see the In
terest in it increasing. We now have
le OF the hest stock in the
Northwest and as time passes the
number will increase. If we can
only raise enough to make 1t an
attraction to the buyers from the
various markets in the Northwest
we will soon enjoy even better prices
than now prevail. The cities furnish
constant demand for draft and
driving horses, while the wheat field
Of the Inland Empire will always use
a large number of mules as we'll as
horses. The more horses we have
in this county the better the market
will be.

Cash REGISTERS
IN POSTAL BANK
Yankee Ingenuity to Mark
Adoption Of Plan.
START WITH OLD SYSTEM.
Cumbersome Foreign Procedure of
Pass Books to Be Dropped as Soon
as Desirable Machine Is Invented to
Safeguard Money Deposits of Public,
Says Postmaster General.

That the United States will have a
postal savings bank plan entirely diff
ferent from all other postal savings
schemes and that its superiority over
other systems is a tribute to Yankee
ingenuity are two of the facts brought
out In an explanation made recently
by Frank II. Hitchcock. postmaster
general. concerning his intentions re-
garding this new financial feature In
the life of the country.
Mr. Hitchcock has assured himself
that the groundwork has been laid Sc
curely for the establishment of the
postal banks.
Cash Register Guards Deposits.
Although every other country which
has postal savings bank system uses
the pass book plan In order to keep
track of the deposits of money. Mr.
Hitchcock. after many conferences with
authorities on savings banks. has de.
liberately cut loose from this scheme.
He has decided to adopt a plan which
in the end will depend upon machin-
cry.
To be more exact, the cash register,
essentially an American idea. will keep
tabs on the deposits of money and will
guard the public against the possibili-
ty of embezzlement and theft on the
part of those who handle the sums
turned In to be guarded by the gov
ernment.
Never before has this plan been con-
sidered by any country, and all over
Europe there is now In effect the
cumbersome scheme of handling pass
books. All the other postal savings
plans of the world are practically
identical.
1t is now up to some inventive genius
to put on the market cash register
which will do the things required for
handling the money intrusted to the
postoffices of the United States.
Deposit Slips at First.
But Mr.. Hitchcock has not calculat-
ed that the cash register system can
Uc put lntO Opciutioh ut ohSS' ~ 81
because no satisfactory register Is on
the market and, secondly. because the
expense of installing the system at
once would be too great.
For the first six months or year
there will be used deposit slips. han
died by hand. They will be In figures
from 81 to 50. and in addition to these
there will be slips for $40. $40 and $50
The $40. $40 and $50 slips will be made
out in duplicate. so that there will be
no opportunity for clerks or receiving
,tellers to falsify them.
Only the slips running from 81 to 5!
will be made out in ink as issued. ant
the postmaster general has figured
that there~is slight chance of anybody
incurring the danger of the peniten
tiary for the benefit Of falsifying an!
entry less than $40.
