SHEEP INDUSTRY
COMING BACK
Effects of the Recent Collapse
of Sheep Industry Will Take
Five Years to Overcome. Be
cause 1t Was So Near Ami
hilatiOn. Mad Scramble to
Get Back in Business Now
That Outlook is Bright.

Five years will be required to over
come the effects of the recent collapse
in the sheep industry. according TO a
survey made public by the National
Institution of Progressive Farming.
How close the sheep industry in
this country came to annihilation dur
ing the initiation period is not realized
by the general public.'' stated the sur
vey. TT was all but wiped out. I'M
ported rams were butchered and sold
as meat owing to the collapse Of the
market"
There is a mad scramble to get back
into the business now that the mar
ket has returned to a stable level. the
survey states. and herds which almost
disappeared are being revived.
The supply Of breeding stock. sheep
association officials say, is the lowest
in twenty years and the demand FOR
such stock on the Pacific coast is the
greatest seen in double that time.
Texas. Idaho. Wyoming and Montana
also report a large demand.
In the corn belt where the maizs
crops can be fed 70 three dollar NUT
ton. the problem is 20 find the lambs
declares the survey. II appears that
a higher price for fst lambs will pre-
yail this fan despite ths present sitf-

EFFECT OF A COLLISION.

Those who visited the railroad yard
and round house Saturday had an OPP
portunity to see the effects produced
by a rapidly moving mountain of iron
and steel in the shape of railroad
engine striking an obstruction. No.
BOA moose of an engine, was the one
attached to the train that hit the flat
cars Wednesday Of last week that
were left on the main line at a point
south of Hedley, resulting in the death
OF Earl Beck. 1t was pulled back here
for repairs. The pilot was gone The
heavy wood work to which the pilot
was attached was ground to frag-
ments. The iron front of the engine
was smashed to pieces and a deep in
denton in the head of the boiler
showed where the draw bar Of the
flat car had struck, driving in several
flues. 1t was silent evidence of a
terrible impact. Apparently the flat
was lifted up by the pilot and the end
of the car struck the front of the en-
CINE squarely. Railroad men say that
flat car is one Of the worst obstruc-
lions that can be encountered.

WAYS properly interpret them. IL is
common to hear a Kiwanian say tha'
he does not know why the kiwahls
say that he does not know why the
Kiwanis Club has the pep ana the
social urge; nor why the members
nave that brotherly feeling toward,
not only one another. but also toward
all business associates-and even
competitors. There are some, however
who do understand. 1t is the same
spirit that has made the church
power throughout the centuries. IL
bespeaks a new day in the history OF
the, world when groups OF business
executives and professional men Dahd
themselves together to practice the
Golden Rule. They have discovered
that 1t is practical; that 1t works. Nj
wanianism brushes aside all social
barriers. all 'superficialities OF life.
Kiwanians meet as man to man. NO
wonder one never hears selfish word
spoken at Kiwanis. No wonder every
effort is to build-to build up and not
to tear down: to serve, not only them
selves but likewise others. The great
barrier to brotherhood is selfishness.
All hail an Organization which, in
serving others, forgets itself. III HI
wants ever fails it will be When it
forgets it's own motto, its own pre-
cept, taken from the teachings OF the
lowly Nazarene-"Do unto others as
ye would they should do unto you"

STILL HAS FAITH.

Years ago A. NJ Wehe, of Milwau-
kee. Wis, spent much of his time and
money in the hill country southwest
of Oroville prospecting and developing
mining claims. The old camp of We
hesville, which at one time boosted of
post office, was named after him.
While he did vast amount of work
over large extent of territory 1t is
regrettable to state that he never re-
allied any returns upon his invest
ments, although on several locations
he and his brothers uncovered con-
siderable ore, some of it running into
good values Mr.. Wehe was one of the
original subscribers of the old Palmer
Mountain Prospector. an dafter we be-
came connected with the Gazette he

sumed before he passes away"
