BOyIen & Stephens
Sell Coarse Wool
at Price of Is Cts.
OREGON MARKET SLOW OWING
TO LACK OF COMPETITIVE
BUYERS.

The sale Of the Boylen & Stephens
coarse wool to Mr.. Livingstone, rep
resenting the American Wooden Com
pany, at a price Of 25 cents per
pound, constitutes the first Umatllla
county wool sale Of the season.
At Arlington the firm OF Wheel
house & Horst has sold their coarse
wool to the securing mill at The
Dalles for a price OF 26 cents per
pound.
These sales while at prices far
above last years prices are not con-
sidered strong In view Of the wool sit.
uation. 1t is complained by sheep
men that only one buyer is actually
in the field Mr.. Livingstone, and
hence there is no competition under
way at present.
In a special advice the Portland
Wool Warehouse company says:
The only weak spot in the world
today on woods is located around
Portland and the Pacific northwest
and our advices from the east denote
a quiet market but a very strong one,
and dealers who have sold the cheap
foreign woods that they purchased a
while back. are looking around try
ing to duplicate their purchases
abroad and find themselves in the po-
sition of a man who sells cheaper
than he can buy.
Our advices from every wool grow
er in the state denote that what wool
is sold is bringing extremely good
prices, and If the price asked is not
paid, the wool is held. There are no
sales that we know of outside of ore
gon and Washington that denote any
thing less than zoe for fine wool, or
zoe for clean. Even southern Cali
fornia. which produces a wool in the
spring Of only seven months growth.
averaged better than 20 cents, and Is
not a strictly AL wool, as 1t generally
has to be earbonized on account of
the burrs. One large mill that is buy
ing fine wool in Oregon and Wash
ington for 16c is reported to have
paid 20c in Nevada for the same
thing, or &c a pound more. so 1t can
be readily seen that the prices paid
are not based on actual values in the
eastern markets.
The bugaboo about foreign woods
arriving is getting rather old. as
these wools have been coming in for
the past so years In just as large
quantities, and we presume that they
will be coming in for so years more.
The low prices paid out here are for
the dealers. and the mills intend to
pay the same price for fine wool,
namely, 72c clean, and these wools
have been bought here for SAC and
55c clean, and show a beautiful profit
for somebody

established in Pendleton It would
draw the seventh and eighth grades
from each of the ward schools, thus
taking from them from 20 per cent
to 25 per cent OF their enrolment.
This would be equivalent to six
room school for the grades. Then.
the present buildings would be able
to accommodate the grades for some
years. This junior high school would
also take the freshman class, always
numerically the largest class, from
the high school building, thus rellev-

HEARD FROM RESIDENTS
OVER THE DUST

Complaints are being made partic-
ularly by parties on the South Hill
and upon the North Hill that street
sprlnkling is being too long delayed
this year. In many places the streets
are very dusty and passing autos make
dust rise in clouds.
The following letter upon the sub
ject has been received by the East
Oregon from w. NJ. Blakely.
Editor East oregonian:--I am not
chronic kicker, but | want to cali
attention 10 the condition Of South
Main street between Railroad and
High. We were told last year that
there was a scarcity OF water which
at times was true. We bonded the
city last year TO get more and better
water. Now we OF the South Main

something for us in the way OF
sprinkling. Hoping this will meet
with favor. w. NJ BLAKELY.
