and when the Whetsio1e crew strucl
for higher pay, the Wattenburger ere
at work at the Minor plant, also mad'
demands for the eame raise, and go
it at once. The shearers claim tina
they were to receive cents wher
they agreed to go TO work here. They
claim that this is about equal tt
what the hand shearers are getting
aa they receive 8 cents per head anC
board, while the machine operators
have to pay their board. There is a
vast difference, however in the num-
Der Of sheep that can be sheared by
machinery than by the old method
and this would seem to work in favor
Of the machine men.
E. G. Noble is sending out by
every mail cop es Of his newly printed
catalogue, and the best part of it is,
he is beginning to rec eive nice orders
for saddles and his force in the shop
is now busy IS bees. Some mighty
nice compliments have been passed
upon that catalogue and the printer
is coming in for his share of the
praise 1t is a good job; it was all
done by the home print shop, and the
Gazette-Times is proud of it, We are
not too modest to say that it compares
well with any work of similar ma
ture turned out in the city shops,
aud we are right on the job for more
work of the same kind. In fact 1t
should be apparent that it is not nee
essary to send to Portland for any
kind of printing as it can be done at
home just as good and the prices are
right. Try US and see. And don't
forget in the meantime that Gene
Noble builds the best saddles made.
George Bleskman, of Hardman.
came in from The Dalles on Friday
evening where he had been to consult
with the travelling salesman of Muir
ply Grant g. Co.. of San Francisco.
George is looking for good times in
his locality this Fall as the promise
of good crops out that way will put
people on their feet again. He
suffered the misfortune of loosinR
three of his best stage horses recently
but is learning not to complain as he
realizes that only those that have can
loose and the mail contract has been
good investment during the year.
O. A. Hales came in from Waits
burg, WASH, on Saturday to receive
