There were very few p luces In
the valley easily accessible this
week excepting on the main high
ways and some of them were
traveled with difficulty. Tho Im-blt'r-Kuiumcrvllle
road has been
blucked all week, the drills being
near Duve Osborne's Instead of

amount of snow, together with

Wullowu County Assn. Kiitvccds
At tho conference of county
agents to be held next month in

of Wallowa county appears on tho
program to tell about the, work-
The Ncvj Mi
V
lugs of the Wallowa County Live
stock Shipping association. This
is an organisation which has not
been In existence so very long but
which has made a good start ac
cording to some figures which Mr.
Donaldson has given out
In tho two months In which tho
co-operative shipping association
of Wallowa county farmers has
been in. existence a total of $62,713
has been paid hog growers alone.
It was reported to tho association
members last Thtirrday by N. C
Donaldson, county agent who has
been acting as .manager, when the
farmers gathered to effect a per
manent organisation.
This return was from 3750 hogs
and represented 229 shippers. ' The
average shrink was 4.2 potuids and
It cost the association an average
o ft4 cents per hundred to put the
hogs on the market, not including
tho lU-cent association fee. The
64 cents represents the actual cost
of marketing, so tho net return to
tho growers was the sum paid to
them, namely the $02,713.
His report In further detail
showed:
That 07 head of cattle had been
shipped, representing 20 shippers,
ut a cost of 62 cents per hundred
weight.
Thut 177 head of sheep had been
shipped by 11 owners ut a cost of
6a cents per hundred.

In splto of ull tho talk of peuco
the Kellogg pacts etc etc otc, it is
reported on very good authority
that war came very nearly being
declared recently. Not In Nicara
gua either, nor yet in Tlmhuetoo,
but hero within confines of good
old peuceful Union county! It was
ull because there might havu been
a break between two county offi
cials. It Is reported that ono car
ries a gun and woars a star. The
other who Is but a hireling, is al
lowed no such protection, but It is
generally understood that she can
hold her own In -an urgument.
It seems to be something like
this. Ono day, not long since no
less a person u Ke than the sheriff
of Union county, the Hon. Jesse
Hreshenrs went from his office In
long, long time ago. Hut as It
happens there Is enough of tho
ludicrous to furnish a safety valvo
and keep things going, January
Is always the heaviest month of
Miss MarquardCa calendar year,
so she says. Hut this year tho work
has seemed more than usually
heavy. She reports that since lc-
