THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY,- MAY 28, 1901. WOOL AT HIGH PRICE Successful Sealed -Bid Sales at Heppner. GROWERS WELL SATISFIED Million and a Half Pounds Change Hands, Bringing In Sheepmen of Morrow County $202,000-- Every Lot Is Taken. HEPPNER, Or.. May 27. (Special.) The first -wool salesday as arranged by the Oregon Woolgrowers' Association oc curred In Heppner yesterday and as a re sult 2,500,000 pounds of uool changed hands, bringing to the growers a little over 5202,000. This Is by far the largest sale ever made in a single day in Hepp ner, and from every point of view was very satisfactory- Previous conditions this year have been discouraging to the sheep men and the industry in general, owing to the bad sheep market, but yesterday's .wool sales added so much encouragement that there la now a different feeling, not only among' the growers but In all lines of buslenss, for the sheep is a prominent factor in the business affairs of Morrow County. For almost every lot of wool offered, the growers received more than they ex pected. The average price received was about 13 cents per pound, which is fully a cent better than received last year, owing to a better quality of wool, this being caused by the open "Winter and fa vorable Spring, causing light shrinkage and good staple. The early grass caused sheep to take on flesh and the fleeces were heavy, many flocks averaging a pound more to the sheep than last year. The advance in price and the Increased weight of the fleeces has added thousands of dollars to the pocketbooks of the pros perous slieepgrow ers. The clip of the Penland Land & Live stock Company, the largest growers In Morrow County, topped the sale with 175, 000 pounds, at 15g cents per pound. Mc Knigbt Bros, turned off their clip of 75, 000 pounds at 14& cents per pound. Eleen buyers, representing the prin cipal Eastern dealers and manufacturers, came to Heppner the evening before the sale by special train, and when the ware houses were opened up, the buyers all meant business. The bidding was spirited and lively. Evcrj thing offered was sold, not a grower refusing, and the business was all through at 5 P. M. The sales will tako out about half of the wool which will be handled In the Heppner market. It is estimated that about 1,500,000 pounds jet remain In the hands of the growers In this territory. Other salcsdas have been arranged for June 8 and 23, to be held here for the sale of this wool. The sealed-bid method in which sales days are designated when a number of growers and buyers qf n get together, was inaugurated three years ago. The bids of the buyers are placed in a hat, the high est offer taking the clip. If the grower de sires to accept It. This method has been very successful, there having been but very few private sales. MEAD VISITS THE FARMERS. Promises to Sign Commission Bill if Passed by the Legislature. WATERVILL.E, Wasn.. May 27.

Encroachment Resented by Baker's Bay Salmon Fishermen. ASTORiA, Or.. May 27. (Special.) Some days ago a contractor drovo piling for about a dozen flshtraps in Baker's Bay. between Sand Island and Fort Co lumbia. Traps were driven so as to "cork" traps theretofore driven, to shut out old traps from fish coming into the river. The owners of the contemplated new traps were reported to have been South Bend. "Wash., men and their action in drhlng new traps provoked much Indignation among the owners of old traps. Word from across the bay this after noon is that all of the new traps have dis appeared. Last evening they were seen, but today they are gono. Nothing defi nite has been learned as jet concerning the manner in which the traps were de stroyed, but the appearance of the piling indicates that the old trap fishermen used dynamite or giant powder to blow out the piling driven for tho new traps. Some of tne piling was seen to have been cut off at high-water mark and the opinion is expressed that the damage was wrought by means of an explosive. Whether or not the men encroaching upon tho Territory of tho old trapmen will endeaor to locate tholr gear is proble matical. It is possible serious trouble may ensue. BISHOP THOBURN COMING.

Mr. Hermann reviewed the history of the Republican party and Its achievements from, the Inauguration -of Abraham Lin coln to the prospective nomination of President Roosevelt. His history of the party, was replete with facts, and his pre sentation of these facts logical and con vincing, and his tribute to the Republican statesmen who have honored the party with their public services wes a credit to Oregon's Representative. His tribute to the present Administra tion disclosed forcibly to his audience a career rarely equalled by any President In the history of the country. He spoke forcibly of the great service rendered by the President in behalf of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, which was one of the most impressive and best-received pas sages of his address. Hermann's review of the legislative en actments of the Republican party against trusts and corporate application of those laws demonstrated convincingly the sin cerity of the party upon this question. His review of the maritime canal and Ameri can commerce In general was greatly ap preciated. The speaker held his audience for two hours, being frequently Interrupt ed with enthusiastic applause. His vindi cation of his own services as a public officer was thorough, complete and con vincing.

Tolman, of Spokane, has withdrawn from the Gubernatorial fight and will attempt to retain his seat in the State Senate.

We declare for a more practical education, that Nature's studies and the elementary prin ciples of agriculture be taught In our public schools. That we hae text-books and teachers who. Instead of teaching our children to get away from the farm, will dignify farm life, show its possiblltles, and draw more young people to It. We urge upon the patrons of the Grange the necessity of a good library In our country schools, among which should be a liberal number of books pertaining to farm life. We believe the morals of a nation are the reflection of the morals of tho home, and we ask the mothers and guardian in our Grange to discriminate against sensational newspa- j?

A REMARKABLE TEST APPIIED BY A TEACHZE IN A LEADING UNIVERSITY. Demonstrates the Power of Dr. Will lams' Pink Pills to Restore Vigor to Shattered NervesT Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the minis ter of the Christian Church, of No. .2010 I street. South Omaha. Neo., tells how her daughter has been enabled to re sumeher professional work as a teacher after suffering for nearly three years from severe nervous prostration: "When she was passing from girl hood to womanhood," says Mrs. Lone, "she suffered greatly from difficulties peculiar to her sex. The physician did not help her, but a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought .about the perfect regulation of her system. "While she had escaped from one grave trouble, 'she unfortunately began to overwork, first as a student and then as a teacher in a large Iowa institution for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work and was very enthusiastic, but the strain finally told on her. She became pale, weak, nervous, unable to sleep; she had no appetite, and she suffered from severe headaches. Then came a complete breakdown and her work h,ad to be given up. "In this emergency we again tried D-Wllliams' Pink Pills. Improvement came at first slowly, and we sometimes doubted whether she was gaining, but we noticed that whenever she stopped taking the pills she fell back, and whenever she resumed the use of them she revived, and so we kept up the treatment until she recovered her usual health and was able to take a position In one of our universities, where she Is happily at work. My mother, my daughter and myself have a well founded confidence In the merits of Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills ,and are always" ready to recommend them." Thl3 is simply one more proof that these pills seek disease at its source and effect fundamental cures. They cure various diseases because these have" a common origin in Impaired blood or nerves. They put the entire system in a healthy condition, because they in troduce vigor that is distributed to every part. They arrest physical decay when it seems inevitable, and find a road to restoration when the doctor misses it They are sold by all drug glsts throughout the world.
