WASHINGTON LAMBS
 ... AWAIT GOOD MARKET

Western sheepmen, because of the lack of range space, are being com- pelled to market some of their stock, according to Tom Drumheller of Wal la Walla county, Washington, who was on the market Monday. Drum heller has eleven loads of stuff on the way, but is awaiting good market before unloading the lambs.
 Because of the condition of the country in which he lives, it being covered with sagebrush, the blackface sheep do not do well-that is, they will make the gains in weight, but in travelling between the sagebrush will tear off a large part of their wool, thus cutting down the available wool supply. For this reason only the fine wooded sheep are kept.
 Crops in that country are in good shape. Wheat is looking fine, and he expects the crop to average about 25 bushels per acre.
 That the west is getting back into the sheep business is evidenced by the fact that ewes are selling for SIS a head, and the sheepmen are holding back all of their good breeding stock
 The wool crop this year averaged about 10.5 pounds and sold for 37 cents. The wool is clipped early in that country, he says, and was sold long before prices of wool began to climb to their present levels. At that the price received was considerably higher than last year.

ADDITIONAL NAMES CALLED

Due to a reapportionment of quotas in the state during the last few days, Apache county is called upon to furn- ish 55 instead of AZ men, as was an- nounced last week. It also being nee. essary to drft extra men to take the place of some who will undoubtedly be exempted by the district board at Phoenix, 1he whole number for this county is brought up to about 65. The board has posted enough additional narles it would seem to more than supply the required number. The list first posted and the names since ad- ded are given herewith.
 Up to Friday evening approximate ly 120 men had been examined and about 40 of them were physically dis qualified. More than half of the re- mainder have filed claims for exemp- ton. The board has passed 3S men and their names and the names of those exempted will be made public next week. Each man rejected by pr. Bouldin as being physically disquali- fled is re-examined by Dr. Brown and one registrant was accepted by the latter who had been rejected by Dr. Bouldin.
 About twenty of those notified fail ed to appear for examination and they stand good chance to be drafted into service without further formality.- St. Johns Observer.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
In Omaha ten minutes yesterday.
The colonel was on his way to Lin
coin. where in the afternoon he is the
chief speaker at the Nebraska semi
centennial. Though the hour. 7
o'clock, was early, there were hun
dreds OF Omakans at the depot to
greet him and from the time ne swung
his ca on the rear OF the Bur-
lidgton train until he continued his
journey, he was busy man.
Colonel Roosevelt was up, fully
dressed and out on the car platform,
his face wreathed with smiles, when
the train pulled into the depot. To
General Phil Hall OF Nebraska's
army contingent, who was the first
man to meet him, the colonel ex-
claimed
Likes the Weather.
"This is a fine morning; this is
bully and I'm glad to see you"
About this time and just as COL
onel Roosevelt stepped down from the
car, the Lincoln committee, headed
by Chancellor Avery, former Senator
Burkett, H. II. Wilson, j. c. Harpan.
Charles Watson, J. II. Brody, c. c.

water.
While Colonel Roosevelt was busy
meeting friends, he had an eye out
ior the babies and several were held
up for his inspection. He treated
them them all alike. He chucked
them under the chin, patted their
checks and conided to the fond
mothers: They are darling babies"
Somebody wanted Colonel Roose-
welt to make a speech and told him so,
but he got out of it by remarking that
Il have got to do most Of the talking
in Lincoln this afternoon and | must
save my voice for that occasion"
On the subject Of war, Colonel
Roosevelt has but one opinion and
that opinion, as he expressed it is this:
"The allies are going to win and
there is no question about II. Its not
q war OF any one country, but a war in
the interest of humanity and future
freedom and II all the allies should
drop out, the United States would be
in honor bound to continue alone and
make the fight"
Colonel Roosevelt asserted that the
east is just beginning to awaken to the
gravity OF the war situation and
people are beginning to realize the
necessity Of contributing their money
and physical strength in support of
the allies. He added, "And from opin-
ions gathered in talking with the
people and reading the papers, | be-
lieve that the central west. which can
always be depended upon, is in line.
ready to respond to any call made
upon it."
Colonel Roosevelt Is In the pink OF
condition and according to his own
statement, is feeling fine. He Is ready
for fight and if called upon to go to
the front, says he will be there to do
his duty.
