Cattle buyers In Tillamook County vant stock so badly that the Herald says it will pay dairymen to keep their puns looked until after the buyers leave the county. About 15,000 sheep were recently sold .Bear Heppner at prices ranging from 12.25 to 3; all these to be delivered after shearine. 2200 ewes were also sold for M-80 and 5 per head before shearing. The sacrilegious pastor of a Baptist Church at Albany took the followlog for his subject, Sunday evening, "Would Jesus Vote the Republican or Demo sratlo Ticket?" The vice of Sheldon- ism is spreading. There hare been 12 saw milts started up in Laae County within less than a year, says the Junction City Bulletin, and probably the least has a capacity . I .

JItke Hurtery, one of the wealthy t'Vxkmen of Klamath County, was at the Commercial hotel last Saturday. While here Mr. Hartery bought the Morris Wingfleld cattle, numbering about 400 head, and will gather the stock at once and driye them to his Merrill ranch. We understand the price paid was $23.76 per bead, and the cash amounting to over 111,000 was turned orer to Mr.- Wingfield. Lake view Kxamiaer. Frank Romer was in from the 70 ranch last week. He informs us that Hery lord Bros, have completed the work of -vaccination in their herds and that 800 calves have been Inoculated with the -vaccine. Last Thursday Heryford Bros, brought down 2500 head of cattle from their Chewaucan ranch and turned them on the range in the Drews Gap section. The cattle have wintered well and look hardier and In belter condi tion than catUe usually appear at this time of year. Owing to the mild win ter and eariy springing up of range grass, very little hay was fed this sea son, and a large amount of fodder will be held over for next winter. Lalce yiew Examiner. At a special election held in Grants Pass Monday to vote 16000 In sewer bonds and t09,000 for tbo construction Of a water and light plant, both propo sitions were oarried, the sewer bonds by a vote of 244 to 62 and the water and light bonds by a vote of 170 to 125. There was considerable interest In the eleotion on account of the recent con troversy between the city council and the present Water & Light Company. The sewer is under construction, and will be poshed to a speedy completion. There Is some doubt whether the city tan pi uce the water and light bonds to advantage. The heavier taxpayers, as a rule, were against these bonds, fear ing to involve the city still further in debt. C FOND OF DUST BATES. V .- Birds I.lkt to Plv In Ashea I,ft fram Donrlre Partrldarea Prefer Freah Loam. Some birds use water only, some wa ter nnd dust, while others prefer dust and no water in their toilet. Birds are not only nice in the choice of bath wa ter, but also very particular about the quality of their toilet dust. i Wild ducks, though feeding by salt water, prefer to bnthe in. fresh-water lols, and will fly long distances Inland to running brooks and ponds, where Uiey preen nnd dress their feathers in the early hours of the morning. Spar rows bathe often, both in water and fri dusi. They are not so part ioiilnt about the quality of the dust. . Tile city spar row rotut take a water Imth where he ean feet it. itond dust, the driest and Un it j.'SUiblc, suits )iirn best. Pnr tri;get prefrr dry loaoV. They like io scratch mt the soil from under the gram, and fill their feathers with cool sarili. i'fost birds are .fond of ashes, Take a walk some early morning across field where bonfires lmve burned, and tee- the numbers of winged creatures that l ii.e i.udtlcrtly from the ash' heaps. A durting form, a small cloud of ashes, tnd the bathers disappear. New Variety of Barter From the Oref oatan. ' A new variety of barley has been originated on the (arm of J. H. Robbing Polk Comity, which bid fair to revolutioniie the barley growing industry on the PaeifiV coast. The great trouble with bar ley as a crop is that tho straw is short, so that the grain cannot be formed in bundles like wheat or oats, but has to be gathered up with "a barley fork," which in volves considerable labor and the waste of a lot of the grain at the same time. The new barley, which is known as "Robbing' White Win ter barloy," is a six-rowed variety, grows to the height of five feet and more, without falling; tho barley is plump and large, and of a beautiful white color. It has been tested for brewing purposes and pronounced first-class. It is a large producer, as many as 30 heads having been pro duced front one kernel, and as many as 120 grains having bcon counted in manv of the heads. The; new grain comes from ono "stool" found by Mr. Robbins on his farm in 1896, which, from its unusual height and the unusual form of the head, attracted his attention, the kernels growing on a spiral around the "cob." From this he secured ono ounce of seed, which next year produced him IS pounds, and from this 18 pounds - sown on three quarters of an acre he last year raised 50 bushels. He has the 50 bushels sown this year, and it is now looking finely, and gives prom ise of an abundant crop. It stands the same amount of freezing as does the old- white Winter wheat, so long and successfully raised in the Willamette valley. A Crater Lake National Park. Prom the New York Tribune. - Congressman Tongue, of Oregon, says: "The people of Oregon are much interested in having a Na tional Park established at Crater Lake. That locality is quite as wonderful and fully as interesting to scientists and tourists as the Yellowstone Park or the Yoseruite. It is located in the Cascade Range of mountains, about 6,000 feet above sea level. The Crater Lake region is well situated for a park, but is unfit for any other purpose, as it contains no agricultural lands and is far above the limit ot cereals. It is well timbered, but the timber is of no value for lumber. Its rocks are all fresh lava, and contain noth ing whatever of value to the miner. Crater Lake is conceded to be one of the greatest scenic wonders in the United States, if not in the world. There are no settlers within the limits of the proposed park, which is easily accessible by roads already constructed. The lake is already regarded as a pleasure re sort by Oregonians, but one of the drawbacks to tourists at present is the lack of facilities for entertain ment there." The meteoric career of a Klondike Prince ended in Dawson when Louis Laplante, several days ago 'was. bound over for trial in the Terri torial court. He is charged with foolishly and wantonly spending the paltry sum of $121 consigned to him witli which to buy provisions. Laplante in 1197 sold a half in terest in a Hunker creek claim for $22,000. Wine, women and cards were hit ruination. There was a falling off of over one million in the number of hogs received at the principal pork pack ing centers from November 1, 1899, to March 1, 1900, as compared with the same period the previous year. The estimates of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture show a further decrease in the number of cattle in the United States during 1899, The doorcase for the year is placed at 82,000. ,' The number of oattle assessed in Wyoming fell from 818,121 in 188S to 308,977 in 1899. On the other hand the number of sheep assessed in that state rose from 308,77 in 1818 to 2,104,101 in 1899. A number of sales of 1900 wool have been made in Montana at 21 and 22 cents per pound, and several large companies hare refused offers of 22 cents.
