Vale -and Juntura yielded an unusually large wool clip this season and approximates a million and a half . pounds, according to a large wool man of the county. There is most likely another million pounds of this season's clip of wool in Malheur county. . in the countrj j mmr .TnrHnn Vnllov nnit nn rlnwn to near Jordan Valley and on down to the Nevada border. A large quantity of wool was sold in Malheur county last week at prices varying from 30 cents to 35 cents per pound. Most of the sales were made at Nyssa and aVle. Wool rales for the pools of H. J. Ward, McConnell Brothers and McKnight & Company were made in Nyssa by the Malheur County bank instead of in Ontario, as some have been lead to believe. These 'thre companies and Murchison . & Robertson, and McLane and Jenkins scored top prices.' They sold at 35 cents and the buyers, were Donald, Howell & Jones nnd the Portland.-Wool Ware house. Leon Mansisindor and Mulli gan Brothers sold at 32 cents. One sale is reported at Ontario, that of the Hub Walters clip. One other mighty favorable con dition for the sheep men, is the fact that ewes, and lambs are selling for a good price. A Nyssa sheep mar. sold his 1922 spring lambs for June delivery at 10 cents per pound, f.o.b. Nyssa, and he sold old dry ewes at 6 a head, f.o.b. Nyssa. These fa vorable, conditions are putting the sheepmen "over the hump," as u banker of the county expressed it. DEATH IS lEXPECTED SCOTT HYDE DIES IN SLEEP AT VALK SANITARIUM SUNDAY.

Part of the Outlaws are in bad shape as a result of being caught in the barrage. In truth, some of them developed baseball shock on the field. In the sixth inning Vale came to life foa few minutes and by taking advantage of a couple of errors crossed the plate thrca times. In the seventh and eighth frames, timely ' hitting swelled .their score to a final total of 'six. . , Next Sunday the Outlaws go to Huntington, where they cross bats with the Railroaders. , Summary.
