X Page Eight ;., j Hay Demand In Wallowa County On The Increase By O. C. Meek (Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) An In creasing demand for hay Is heard from many parts of the community. Many who are short on feed Btate that they are finding It quite diffi cult to find anyone who has hay for sale. The steady sale of small lots during the past few weeks appears to have about cleaned up all offer ings. Reports from tho upper part of the valley last week stated that some hay was . being shipped Into Enterprise from outside points. Some Investigation of -the cost of outside hay has been made , by. some of the farmers of this community during the past week, and according to Borne of thoso interested!' the cost' of hay shipped In would be around 416' or S1G per ton. There Also. .appears .to be a .better demand for all .classes of feed grain here. Many who, have been short on hay have done con siderable feeding of grain In an ef fort to. make their hay supplies lost through the winter season. Some of the recent sales of wheat and bar ley are said to have been made at $20 per ton. H. D. Bechtel, who recently sold his farm on the edge .of the valley about four miles east of town to Herman Fisher, of Hot Lake, recently moved his family to the former Giles Plass place in the west part of town. Mr. Bechtel also reports the sale of about 200 bead of ewes to L. W. Minor last week. This flock will start lambing about March 1 and In addition to Mr. Minor's present band gives him better than 1000 head. Miss Ilia Couch, .of Leap, has been ViBitlllB UUllUB wc oau "lift . frlanrii at To flrartrla ' Many of the residents of this com munity are still suffering from se vere colds and flu. -Some of them have been confined to their homes I for several .days. j John Bales, of Leap, was In ,the Whiskey creek section the early part of the week hunting some of Bruce Fisher's horses .which ore still on outside range. .Some of .the . other farmers .of this section were busy recently .getting in .some .of their horses, that have been out all win ter. Most of the stock gathered In during the past few weeks are said to have been In very poor shape. Joseph Feaglns and A. W, Harmon, of Xeap, were Enterprise business visitors the early part of the week. The continued cold weather of the past two weeks has again1 .caused water to 'become short -at some of the farms In .the hills. The greater part of the wells and springs were flushed to some extent by the Janu ary thaw and many who are short at this time would greatly welcome another Chinook. The first shipment of -fat hogs to be made from this end of the valley In several weeks went out the last of the week. A. .W. Johnson, ship ping manager for the Wallowa Coun ty Stock Marketing association, load ed out two cars, one. going from here and the other from the JLoetJne com munity. . . L. V. Lathrop, of Leap, was deliv ering hogs to Evans Friday for-shipment with the association, Bob Couch, who haa been working for his Uncle. John Couch. of .Leap, spent Sunday at his home In town. Poultry keepers of this' community are pleased to note some Improve ment in egg prices During the past week some of the "stores here have been paying 33 cents per dozen for eggs.

"Dad what's .happened ?" He uncovered his. face slowly, and gazed down at Goody. Gradually his distorted features quieted. " You'd, better call, an ambulance," he said tonelessly. "I've hurt .him. J thank, God, J didn't have a gun." "Dad oh. Dad!" They both stiffened as the sounds behind the closed door of the bil liard room reached their ears. In stinctively they moved aside as the knob was grasped and a voice spoke: a short, hardened command. ' j The door, swung open, anil Hlckey stood purple to the collar around his neck.

Care fullv Hickey picked up his son. And marched, silent and with su preme. dignity, past the two. In the corridor. . "Is he badly hurt?", called Tapa Ross sharply. At the foot of the staircase Hick ey turned. "Shall I shall we call an am bulance?" put In Goody huskily. ' -Hickey's -arms - sagged '.from -the sheer 'weight ot .hls muscular bur den. One fleeting glimpse of- the hoy's bleeding face, eyes closed In grateful ,-, unconsciousness,' struck tho vision of the two who stood half cowering In the light of the billiard .-room. - "1 nil take care. of my son," said Hickey -with labored breath. "You take care of your daughter!" " Tightly ho gathered his burden, and spoke to the dog at his heels. -Goody and -Papa 'Hoss -watched the procession, up the broad stair ense. Heard tho voices In'tho upper hnll.i Heard tho. slam ot the front door. Heard tho sound ot Hickey's car. And then hoard no more. . The following day, Mr. Ross did not go to his otllco.' He himself un locked Hope's door In tho morning, and onco more marsliulled the cook ill and out with a breakfast tray ot food. The room was empty save for tho hungry kitten cuddled in the tnffota bedspread that had been tossed on the floor. From behind Hope's bathroom door came sounds ot a running shower, gasps and gur gles of grateful shock In the bride's pliant treble. When Hope, wrapped In a hand crocheted bathrobe ot orange, green, and lavender silken threads, swung open her bathroom door and gaied about, her bright bluo eyes lighted on tho breakfast tray set In tho sunshine so that the painted cherries and poaches and grapes stood out on the gay yellow china Ilka living fruit Her nose crlukled, and her small bare foot tapped thoughtfully. A particularly rasp Ing meow from Sassy made up her mind. . . Kitten In her lap. Hope sat down and fed it cream nnd bits ot parsley from her omelette.- Disdainfully she mumbled iileas, the overnight bag containing 'Sassy. ... , ' Then with urgent speed, Hope climbed up on berbed and began to edge over to. the" window, graspi ing the sheet mightily, and testing Its strength. : ; - No doubt ithe servants had re-: ported the various accumulations ot cast outs from her window. .At any. rate, before Hope had one foot out on her perilous journey sheetwards, her bedroom door was suddenly un-: locked and Papa Ross entered. ! "Hope!

Only the stornest sense of duty; only tho deepest faith In his sense ot right, prevented Papa Ross trora melting at that wall. - "No. Nothing has happened," he said slowly, ''Except that he's come to his senses, I suppose." "What do you mean?" "1. don't know anything about him," Papa Ross shrugged, and wondered why he could not meet the child's eyes.
