RRICON NEWS ITEMS


Mr.. and Mrs. Castle received the
sad news that their son Rays wife

Earl Rand left Monday to report

dismissed in time to see him depart.
The football game came off Satur-

the two teams. Irrigon played un-
der two or three handicaps, as only
part of the team was present H.
Walpole is coach for the local team.
Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell received a
visit from their son Clifford last Mon

Harry Davis again took End prize

porous and joyous journey through
life.
The church rally proved success
as far as the dinner went but the
work on the church was not satisfac-
tory, as there is lack of leadership.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frick came down from
Hermiston in the afternoon with w.
L. Suddarth, and as he is an exper-
fenced hand in moving buildings, he
soon had the men working to a good
purpose.

WOOL PRICES NOT |
TO Be FIXED NOW
Prominent Sheep Man of the County
Receives Advices Regard
ing Plans.
(Pendleton Tribune)

No price fixing on wool is being
considered, or will be considered now
is the gist of telegram received by
prominent sheep man of the county
from the National Council of Defense
in Washington.
At the State Wool Growers coli.
vention, held in The Dalles a few
days ago, resolution was passed lii
which the sheep men declared their
intention to patriotically stand be-
hind the government, to submit to a
fixed price or not, just as the admin
istrator might see fit.
But they did register disapproval
of the move on the part of Summer
street. Boston, wool buyers going
down to Washington, and there TAX
ing it upon themselves to act for the
wool growers and ask that the gov
ernment fix price.
Next month the Nationol Wool
Growers Association will hold its an
nual meeting in Salt Lake City. 1t is
believed that "crimp" will be
placed in any such move on the part
of wool buyers.
One well-known wool man said this
morning that the buyers of wool in
the East want five cents pound for
handling the product, where in the
past they have been content with one
cent.
He further intimated that the east
erners have bought up large quanti-
ties and now are anxious for the gov
ernment to set fixed price, so that
their profit may be assured them.
In the summer the government
fixed price on cross-bred wool. 1t
ranged, when secured, from 1873 to
16S cents a pound. This is the wool
that is used principally in the manu-
facture of cloth for uniforms.
