THE GAZETTE. 7. T77". REDXaTCKTCaT. Editor. HEPPNER, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1&83. TH MALHEUR COUNTRY. TJire are many stockmen in Umatilla county who are casting about for pastures new to -which to remove their flocks and herds. The new settlerr are fencing up the land and plowing up the soil, and while there is still a very hirge area left open for pasturage, yet it is comparatively cramped to men who have used it as it was. As a sheepman 'who knew this range in its palmy days recently remarked, by the time the rear end of his hand were out of the corral in the morn ing, his leaders were into another man's band. While it is probably true that stockmen can get along Crops in this section are in a satisfactory condition, although some farmers begin to feel a little uneasy about lack of rain. On southern slopes the land is getting rather dry, but on land sloping to the north the soil retains its mois ture wonderfully well. While few farmers report that their crops are actually suffering for rain, all agree that rain would be welcome. There are spots where a clay soil has baked, and the grain is drying out. Considerable wheat is now being cut for hay, and the yield is very satisfactory. RHEA CKKKK ITEMS. J I N K 15. Ed.

To those who are hunting new range wo would say, go over and inspect the Malheur country. There is a vast scope of territory over there, and most, of it is a good stock re gion. It is no longer an Indian reservation, having been partially thrown open for settlement last year, and is now entirely so except n few acres at Camp Harney. Those who have wintered there do not speak very well of it as a farm ing country, except down towards Snake river, but say that what stock the Indians had always got through all right. No doubt the Camp Harney or southern end of the reservation is now well stocked with horses and cattle, but the balance of the country must be comparatively free from , stock. The country is diversified, contains timbered ridges, bunch-grass hills and ryegrass flats, and along the Lower Malheur is a stretch of white sagQ on which cattle flourish nnd grow fat From Canyon City the old agency it about 80 miles by god wagon rond, and from Ilepp ner the agency might be reached in a straight horseback line via Susanville in about 125 miles. DIRECT WOOL SHIPMENTS. A good opportunity is at present afforded to wool-growers and ship pers to ship their wool to eastern markets at reasonable freight rates. Owing to the depression at present existing in the wool markets in the east, buyers are holding back and not appearing in the markets un less at very low prices. It would appear that if those who have wool, and are in a position to hold it, were to ship by the C. S. Hnlburt, now on the berth for New York direct, at one cent per pound freight,, that it affords the cheapest kind of storage. It is known that wool making the voyage around Cajxi Horn will materially increase in weight l!y absorption, nnd in having the wool in New York five months from now it will be in one of tho best markets possible for the wool-grower to receive the full benefit of price. "We should like to see direct shipments to New York encouraged, so that every season vessels may be loaded from the Columbia river direct without paying toll to San Francisco. Th alyvt from the Orviouifin, outlines a new departure in the wool; business. At present prices it looks reasonable to suppose that a man could not get much less for his wiol in New York six months hence than he now can in Portland or San Fransiseo. But the expeii enco of some Umatilla county wool growers in shipping to sell at the east has not been very successful. Six years ago a Heppnor man had 10,000 pounds of wool which he might have sold in Portland for 26 cents per pound, lie shipped it to San Francisco, where 1800 pounds of the coarsest Mas culled out and sold at 25 cents. The balance was shipped bv rail to New.YorL After waiting a year the owner received returns on it, ami it netted him 15 cents. Of course the cost of transportation by sailing vessel is a great deal less tlmn by rail, and if a man can afford to wait six months for a sale, the round the Horn route may yet irove'a profitable scheme for ffic wool "rower. t i i i -if hasty 'liuVhsimnVT'iAAiiU!iic&a very and pre-emption.

Ilerrcn & IIiuweH, wool com mission merchant.;, 10 North Front irlt., Portland, writing from there June 13, say: Wool is coming down very freely now. We sold John W. Our ran' a wool to-day for IS cents, which is considered a good sale, and the top figure. The wool market here is fairly active, not withstanding the very diseourainng ad- . 1 1. 4' o,... vices reoeiveu uany uum iwu rii.uumuu and the East. A few speculators are now buying in this market, and paying as much as can be got in San Francisco. Good t choice wools when offered here can find buyers at 17.i to IS) cents.

The tire was caused by an incendiary, and was started in the post ollice building. Another sign of Heppiier's business growth is that two large safes arrived last Saturday. One was for Ayers & Kirk, the other for Cash Mallory. In burning up a yellow-jacket's nest below Albina last Saturday it was found necessary to also consume 2500 cords of wood, a house and barn, and half a mile of fence. .
