WOOL SALES DATS
.
Schedule of sales adopted by the
Executive Committee
Pendleton, Feb. - 21 Through ag
reement between the executive com
mlttee of the Oregon Woolgrowers
association and the woolbuyers the
schedule of wool sales dates has
been formally adopted. The" schedule
as adopted was suggested by Mr,
Sraythe, secretary of the state asso
ciations, is as follows:
Tcndlcton, May 24, June 10.
n:a flock, May 27, June 11.
Echo May 25.
Heppner, May 31, June 17.
Vale, June 12.
. Ontario, June 14. "C.
Saniko, June, 7, June, 21. July 7,
July 12. . -r :
Enterprise and Wallowa county,
July 12.
In order to make the sales dates
satisfactory to the woolmen In var
lous districts the local associations
were asked to suggest dates to the
executive committee. This was done
and the comulete schedule was
drafted by the executive committee
after conference with the represen
tatives of the Boston woolbuyers as
sorlatlon.
Under the sales day system the
woolgrowers offer their clips for
sale upon the sales days and the buy
ers make sealed bids upon the dif
ferent slips. The growers have the
privilege of rejecting any and all
bids.
Ilujlng a Lawsuit
Did you k ow that placing your re
liance up a warranty deed is simply
bidding for a lawsuit?
In California this fact Is so well
understood that a warranty deed Is
looked upon with suspicion.
It Is for this reason:
If the title Is good It passes with
the deed, and that it all there Is to
It-no need of a warranty. If bad.
the adding of a warranty does not
make It good.
A warranty la only a sort ot bet
a wager that you will have no trou
ble; but If you do, and finally lose
out, I'll pay your money back.
A better plan la to require an ab

Lands for the People
A late dispatch from Washington
tells us that more than 400,000 acres
of public lands have lust been 1
This tract Is in Idaho.
President Taft has Approved of
the new classification of lands, and
this makes the vast tract referred to
from what was formerly classed as
the forest domain. Happily, Gifford
Pinchot and his friends approve : of
the move that give this land to the
homesteaders.
'No charge of corruption attaches
to this act of the land department.
The President made a thorough In
vestigation and found that in Idaho
alone almost half a million acres
had been unintentionally embraced
In the forest domain. This land Is
said to be tillable, and It is .believed
that, the soil will compare favorably
with that surrounding It
We also learn that almost a third
of the forest reservations are to be
re-classified. This, we are told, will
mean the throwing . open of more
than a million acres to settlement,
and no Injury to the cause of hon
est conservation will result.- .
This Is good news for the country
especially for the West. The tract
Just thrown open In Idaho should
prove attractive to a vast population.
Population of the -right character Is
one of the chief needs of the West
Let the good work go on to the far

tion of the laws. Inland Herald.
