BOSS BUFFALO LICKED
Famous Herd Leader Meets His
KingIy Downfall.
"OId Scotty," Shipped to Washington
From South Dakota, Is Put Out in
Seven-Hour Battle With
Younger Bull.

of buffalo near Pierre, S. D., but re-

dred of his kind, has met his kingly
downfall He has been dethroned,

yThe terrific fight, in which fences
and sheds were demolished and huge
Scotty," bleeding, haggard, was van
quished, lasted seven hours. A new
bull, 'Yakiman" by name, reigns
supreme, having gained the title by
the sef-same tactics used by the old
buffalo years ago on the Dakota
prairies
On arrival here the herd of buffalo,
purchased by local capitalists, were
liberated In an extensive fenced area
of hills and valleys. "ScOtty" was
haughtily parading his 5000 pounds
of seltishness when a picturesque
young bull, nearly equal in size, made
vicious lunge at the wrinkled old
king. "Scotty" swung and caughr the
blow with his head. Then started the
battle, the most remarkable ever wit
w
Great calm settled over the big herd
as the two fighters beloved and
roared. The fighters paved earth,
plunged and tore at each other with
horns and hoofs. The battle scene
shifted back and forth on the prairie
for seven hours, when darkness al
lowed "Old Scotty' to lose his ad-
versary and limp painfully away.
Yakima Indians who saw the ami
mails fighting are now fearful lest
these animals, SO near their reserva-
ton, break out of the confines and in
vade their villages.
1t is estimated by the owners of
his newly established herd that
here will be an annual increase of 80
,alves. If as anticipated then each
autumn 30 of the largest animals will

DANGER FROM RAW FUSEL OIL

Hundreds of persons are slowly but
surely asphyxiating themselves, ac-
cording to j. NJ Kovachy, assistant
city chemist, by unsuspectingly assim-
ilating the poisOns found in almost
every sample of what was believed to
be pure bonded" liquor. Hundreds of
samples are brought to Kovachy each
month for analysis, he said and all
thus far analyzed have contained a
high percentage of fusel oil in the
raw. In large quantities, consumed
by steady drinking, fusel oil changes
the blood from oxyhemiglobin to
methemiglobin, he insists.
Same as Asphyxiation.
In other words, Kovachy says, fusel
oil removes the oxygen from the blood,
causes the lips and body to turn
blue and has the same effect as as
phyxiation.

M. E. Crutis, proprietor of the Chem

Police Aid in "cootie" Cleanup.

New York.-New York's police force
gets many unusual calls, but recently
it was forced to perform one of the
most peculiar duties in its history,
when bluecoats had to use moral sua-

held that vessel up for seven hours in
the harbor by refusing to go to Hoff-
mans Island for delousing. An 8. o.

loaded with bluecoats and finally the
third-class passengers were loaded on
a cutter, which took them and their
cootie pals to the cootie graveyard.

A. Henriksen Sells 5000
Sheep to Centry&Boylen

One of the largest sheep deals that
has taken place in Morrow county
for some time, was closed last week,
when A. Henriksen of Cecil sold
5000 head to L. V. Gentry of Hepp-
ner and Tom Boylen Of Pendleton.
Mr. Henriksen bought these sheep
last fall and has been keeping them
at the Cecil ranch, where he fed
them about 1000 tons of alfalfa, the
feeding beginning early in Novem-
Der. He states that the price was
very satisfactory and that he realized
some So per head above what he
paid for the sheep in the fall. AL
also states that he found Messrs.
Gentry and Boylen very agreeable
men to deal with.
This is one Of the largest sheep
deals made in the county for months
The price obtained is an indication
that the business is looking up, es-
pecially for good stuff, and Mr.. Hen
riksen believes that our Aockmasters
will soon be getting on top again
He thinks now that he will give at
tention to cattle for the coming sea-
son, as that end of the stock industry
appeals to him and its future looks
good.

Wool Prices May Go
To accents In Spring

That tbs price of wool is likely TO
so to 40 cents pound in the spring
and that growers will do we'll not to
contract their wool at this time is the
view of W, L. Thompson of Portland,
expressed to the East Oregonian
when in Pendleton one day the past
week.
Mr.. Thompson, who was formerly
president of the American National
bank, bases his view on the fact that
there is now but "a million pounds
of territorial wool in the country and
buying interests have awakened to
the fact there is a shortage. With
the high tariff in vogue foreign wools
cannot be successfully imported.
There has been no contracting in
the Northwest it is said, but some
Utah and Nevada wool has been
scld, the highest price so far being
SO cents per pound. Consignment
houses are now Offering to advance
growers Sl.50 per fleece which
amounts to an advance of l6 cents a
pound to the grower. The fact that
they are willing to go so strong in
he way of advancing money on the
new clip bears out the theory that
the market is to be strong.
Mr.. Thompson ascribes the ad-
vancing price of wool to supply and
demand and the increased price of
wool is Strengthening sheep prices.
Money made available by the war
finance board has also been a con-
siderable factor in bringing sheep
prices out of the depressed figures
that prevailed for time.
According to M. Thompson he has
been cooperating with DR.. C. ]. Smith
in efforts to make it possible for a
stock company to secure war pnance
money for use by needy farmers in
the northwest. This move however,
is not regarded as of much import
ance to Umatilla county as to other
sections.

Lexington Church of Christ.

The four weeks revival meeting
with Evangelist F. W. Zook and wife
closed on January 20, with 81 addi-
tions, % Of which came by confess
sion and baptism, and IA by state
ment or renewal. Also II young
people responded to the call for life
work recruits. These are excep-
tional results for a town this size
when the country people were prac-
tically cut off from the meeting on
account of the zero weather and
snow drifts. One feature Of the
meeting which is always worthy Of
merit was the splendid way that the
church met the financial side. The
evangelists came on the weekly sal
airy plan. Weekly pledges were made
before their arrival, and these, TO-
gether with the loose offerings taken
up at every service, constituted the
financial plan. All bills for the
meeting were met without any finan-
cial drive whatever. The local min
lister lead the singing and the choir
furnished the special music. The
beautiful solos by Mrs. W. L. Holmes
were very much appreciated all thru
the meeting. Evangelist Zook made
strong emphasis on the spiritual
prayer life and righteous character
Of the Christian life and he hit all
sin as hard as possible. He believes,
practices and breaches the prayer
life and he also breaches the second
coming of Christ. The splendid

Iby l04,2l3 Ford cars and trucks.
The Ford company says the out
lock for 1922 is decidedly optimistic
In fact, concrete evidences already
exist in that car and truck retail sales
for December, 1921, exceeded De
cember, 1920, sales bu almost Is per
cent, and FordSon tractor retail sales
tor the same periods show an in
crease of over 100 per cent for De-
cember 1921, as well as an increase
over the total tractor sales for the
month of November.
These facts seem to indicate that
nc only are the farmers buying more
freely, but that the general public is
becoming more responsive and re-
ceptive.
Another point brought out by a
comparison of production figures for
the past two years shows that Ford
enclosed cars are gaining in popular
iy, as % per cent of the 1921 produc-
tonS were Sedans and Coupes as
against total of lS per cent for the
year previous.
Recent reductions in Ford car and
truck prices brought them to a new
low level, The touring car now sells
for S34S therunabout for S3l9, the
Coupe for $3.50, the Sedan for S645,
the Chassis for $2S5 and the truck
for $3.50, all F. o. B. Detroit.
This is the fourth price cut in the
past sixteen months. During that time
the price of the touring car alone
has been cut from $577 to S34S, a re-
duction of 40 per cent. Reductions
en- some of the other types have been
even greater.
The Ford company believes that
this reduction, while not a large one,
is especially important at this time
as it should go long way toward sta
bilizing market conditions.
Ford is giving employment at pre-
sent to approximately 10000 men in
his main plant at Detroit, the inn
portance of which is emphasized
when consideration is given to the
fact that nearly 20 percent of the
city's population is directly dependent
upon the Ford Motor company.
