HIGH CHERRY PRICES
ARE in PROSPECT

Strawberries have set a record for
high returns this year, but the cherry
crop may best the berries for prices.
With cherry harvest coming on, grow
ers are making prediction of l6 cents
per pound for fruit of the black vari-
eties. Packed Royal AIMS, it is said,
will bring II cents per pound. Gamers
are offering nine and 10 cents for bulk
stock. Local cherry tonnage, however,
is comparatively limited. The crop,
it is estimated, will be only about
66 2-3 per cent of that of last year,
when the Association shipped seven
cars of black varieties east and sold
100. 900 pounds of white varieties to
Gamers. Royal AIMS brought SIX
cents last year, The Association will
pack black fruit this year in l6 pound
boxes.
But single grower, E. j. Copper,
whose place is Just west of the
city, reports crop as heavy as that Of
last season. Mr.. Copper, who will
pack his fruit in 20 pound boxes, has
sold his entire crop at nine cents
straight to Nebraska dealers.

SHEEP ENDANGER
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC

A drove of l3 sheep escaped from
some herder's band pasturing on the
Columbia brakes to the west of here
have endangered traffic at the west
approach to the Mitchells!Point tunnel.
Feeding on the precipitous clitfsides
the sheep have sent avalanches of
small stones showering on the road.
Senator Nickelsen, in charge of
maintenance of the Highway, was here
Thursday urging that county authori-
ties proceed against owners for allow
ing the sheep to stray at large. Sew
eral motorists, he says, have expert
enced narrow escapes from falling
rocks. The hand of one, struck by a
stone. was painfully injured. C. W.
Parker. owner of Little Boy ranch, has
joined in the complaint, declaring that
the stray sheep have destroyed flower
gardens and shrubbery around his

1T PAYS TO BUY
HIGH PRICED COWS
tBy R. V. Wright

A short time ago when Roy HAYS
paid $500 for two pure bred Jersey
cows, quite a number of people in the
valley smiled 10 themselves and eX-
pressed a sympathetic feeling for the
man VINO would become so infatuated
with COW as to pay such an outland
ish price. Doubtless many good ranch
ers said that they wouldn't trade their
old brindle COW for any of that high
brow registered stuff.
But now the table has turned, and
the next time you see Roy Hays Just
take notice of that big smile he is
wearing. that S., smile. Here is
the secret of the smile: Mr.. HAYS and
the writer attended the Jersey sale Of
Ed Carey's at Carleton, Ore, June 10.
at which time Mr.. Carey sold..30 head
of his registered stock. The stock va
ried in age from seven days to seven
years, with the large percent Of them
under two years old. The average sale
value of the entire herd was Sll29. 80
per head the 80 animals bringing over
| S33, 600
One four-year old COW brought $500,
and full brother to this COW that was
only seven days old brought $500. A
yearling daughter of one of the cows
Mr.. Hays bought sold for $500. An
other daughter from the same COW,
three months old. sold for $725. Mr..
Hays had sold the last calf TO Mr..
Carey when it was born for $500. This
netted Mr.. Carey S425 in the three
months. Here is the point to note.
either one of the cows that Mr.. Hays
owns would have sold for $2, 600 or
more at the sale. Mr.. Hays was asked
if he would take $500 for each and he
quickly said no. The sales manager
wanted him to list them for sale and
Mr.. Hays figured that they were worth
just as much to HIM as they were te
the other fellow and refused.
Here are the figures: $l300 paid for
the two cows $500 received for the
calf when born; 81. 600 net cost $4, 00(
sale value Of the two cows SO, 600, the
amount saved in buying the cows.
Better get rid Of that old scrub COW
and get something that will pay hei
board at the end of every month anC
make you present of $50 or $40 at the
same time.

REDS WIN TITLE.

Cincinnati Batsmen Punish Three Soy

Cicago, Oct. 9.-The worlds base
ball championship pennant for 1918
will fly from Redland field, Cincin'

Pat Moran's athletes invaded hos
tile territory today and annexed the
eighth and deciding game against
the Chicago White sox by a score OF
10 to 5.
AS expert baseball it was as funny
as a. sack race. Nearly everything
possible happened, including comic
four run rally by the athletes in the
pale hosiery. 1t never would have
happened just as it did if the sun had
not entered the lists and blinded the
visiting felders. 1t was all the fun
nier for the reason that the SoX were
nine runs behind at the time.

Mr.. Wilson Long Way From Recovery

Washington, Oct. 11-Hope that
President Wilson soon might regain
his normal health and resume fully
the duties of his office was swept
away today by his physicians who
announced that it would be impos-
sible for him to leave his bed for an
extended period.
The announcement said that there
had been no interruption of the presi-
dents slow improvement, but he still
had a long road to travel before he
reached complete recovery.
The constitution provides that in
case of the presidents disability the
vice president shall act as chief ex-
ecutive, but there is no precedent
for such a transfer of authority and
official opinion is divided as to how
it might be brought about should the
necessity arise.
The physicians announcement was
not taken to mean that Mr.. Wilson
will be prohibited from sitting up in
bed and it was considered entirely
possible that he might be permitted
to sign a few important bills and
orders each day as his progress con-
tinues. That will be matter, how
ever, which those attending him must
decide as time goes by.
At. 9:45 last night the following
bulletin was issued by DR.. Grayson:
''The President had a comfortable
day."
