Much of the north woods sections
are full or sheep at this time. A
number of large bands have arrived
here recently from distant points in
the state for ranging on logged off
range lands there. Mr. Daugherty. or
Pilot Hock, arrived here recently with
two large bands of sheep which were
trailed through having been about
three weeks on the road. Some of the
sheepmen feel that with high freight
rates and extremely low prices for 1
lambs and wool that they cannot af
ford to have the sheep shipped to the
summer ranges here as some have
done during the past number of ,
years.
A few of the farmers of the Leap i
community finished shearing their
small flocks of sheep recently. Ac-
coitlltig to reports from many of the
small owners the bulk of the wool
produced in this community has been
marketed at prices ranging from 17c
to 30c per pound. Practically no
sales of lambs has been made here
and a number of the sheepmen are
wondering what kind of prices they
are going to be able to get for their
lambs. Good green feed In all pas
tures and ranges are making ideal
conditions for growing some of the
best lambs which have been seen in
this section for a number of years.
Shipments of cattle and hogs hav
gone from this county during the
past two weeks through the Wallowa
County Shipping association to the
Portland market. Arrangements are
being made to send out at least one
carload of fat ewes some time during
the early part of July.
E. P. Johnson was busy d tiring the
early part of the week getting many
'small lots of wool together for ship-
ment.
W. P. Poole and wife returned home
recently from a trip to Baker. They
report very heavy rains In that sec

hay were down.
' J. P. Haun. of Evans, made a busl-
