Buys $4,000 Sheep and Sells 1900

Wether Lambs, Keeping
The Ewes.
Fred W.Falconer sold $4,000 weth-
er lambs last week and at the same
time increased his own fiocks by close
to $4,000 ewes. Part OF the weiner
lambs he sold were of his own rails
ing, and part he had Just bought of
other growers.
The increase in his herds of ewes
was accomplished by holding his own
eve lambs and buying about $4,000
more. Thus he is prepared to begin
next year as one of the largest flock
masters in Oregon.
The wether lambs sold consisted of
5000 Of Mr.. Falconer's own raising,
sold to C.. G. Brown; and over 5000,
bought from various owners, and sold
to R. N. Stanfield, represented here
last week by his brother, Robert
Stanfield.
These 5000 were the wethers cut
from total of 10000 lambs which
Mr.. Falconer purchased from the fol-
lowing:
Washtucna Land & Livestock Co.,
$500.
Harry Bartholomew of Stanfield,
$500.
T. H. Morelock, $500.
Pearson & Johnson of Pendleton,
whose flocks are in the, mountains
near Looking Glass, 5000.
D. & M. Co., 5000.
]. Ray Johnson, 1900.
The remainder came from smaller
lots.
The first delivery will be made
September II, when the Pearson &
Johnson wethers will be loaded at
Looking Glass. Another shipment
will be made October 3. The lambs
are not very heavy this fall, but they
are plump and fat as could be wished.
They will mean extra choice meat for
the epicures of the eastern cities,
where they will find their ultimate
market.
While prices are not made public,
the prevailing quotations put lambs
at four times the price of few years
ago, say 1918. Mr.. Falconer was
anxious to get more ewes to enlarge
his flocks, and accomplished his end
by buying whole bands and then SELL
ing off the wethers.
AS stated, he also has bought 5000
old ewes, the sellers being Mr.. Bar
tholomew and scattered local grow
ers. The amount involved in all his
purchases is in the neighborhood of
$3.50, ,0O0.-Enterprise Record-C Chief

Chas. Groshen, young son of Mr.
and Mrs. Victor Groshen of this city
arrived home Sunday from New
Jersey where he was recently given
his discharge on account of his feet
breaking down. Young Groshen
says the constant drilling on the steel
decks broke down the arches in his
feet but if he can correct the trouble,
will enter the service again. He left
his brother Harry somewhere on the
Atlantic but does not know just
where he is. Young Groshen is great

other members of the crew which

ernor Gardner and Adjutant General
James H. McCord, on the method Of
organization Of home guard or pro-
visional national guard. 1t is held that
these cannot be called into the federal
service: also that such temporary or
provisional force will not be entitled to
the pay or to any Of the other benefits
provided by law for the national guard.
On account of the conflicting laws
making the situation hazy and indefi-
mite the members Of the temporary
force should be enlisted only until the
national guard return to the state, at
which time the temporary force will be,
and must be- disbanded.
