grains and hay are heing received
daily. It is the intention of M
Hummer to secure between four
and five hundred pieces, or
enough to make a total weiuht of
2000 pounds, which is the amount
calleil lor by the lair commission
Aside from the products of the
gardens and orchards, minerals
and wood) will receive special at

along the Deschutes will he ex
pected to send in a few samples for
exhibition. Several . pieces 4 by 4
and one foot in length, with one
side planed, one rough and an
other fini-hid are wanted for dis
play. The mines in the Ashwood
distri.t and those near Howard
will alto he called upon to furnish
a quota of minerals.
As soon as a complete collection,
representative of the county's pro
ducts, has h.'en made, the ship
ment will he sent to St. Louis and
from there forwarded to Portland
to he displayed at the Lewis and
Clarke Exposition in 1005. After
its use there as much of it as can
lie saved will lie sent hack to Crook
county and arrangements made to
secure a place for it at the county
scat where it will be retained as a
permanent exhibit.
Mr. Summers says it should lie
expressly understood that the ex
hibit is not to be made in com
petition with any other county in
the state, but is merely a repre
sentative showing for Crook alone.
All of the garden produce and
fruits are to be labeled with the
township and range in which they
are grown to that a general idea
-an be.had from a qlnjice at a map
of Crook county where certain pro
ducts are raised the most success
fully.
11UY3 FINE SHEEP
Allen & Lafollctte Purchase Blood
ed Stock for Their Extensive
Ranch on the McKay.
Crook county's dignified title as
the producer of the finest breeds of
sheep west of the Rockies, will
soon have another honor mark
added to it's fame. Allen & La
toilette, who are the second largest
producers of thoroughbreds in
Crook county, have recently bought
two Ramhouillet rams from the
Orchard Lake sheep ranch of
Thomas Wyckoff in Michigan.
They have been shipped to the
company's winter quarters on the
McKay where some 15.000 head of
sheep will be fed during the winter
months.
These two rams ohich are extra
ordinary in size, form, covering
and density of fleece were exhibit
ed at ths State Fair in Detroit last
year where they carried off all of
the available premiums. One of
the animals before shearing
weighed 289 pounds; and he gave
a fleece of 44 pounds of delaine
wool, a record which it is said has
never been equaled by a Ram
bouillet either in France Germany
or the United States.
The original stock of these two
animals came from France, where
the rams themselves carried off
many premiums before they were
exported to this country. Mr. La-
follette stated the first of the week
that hfa firm felt as if it had secur
ed a great prise in purchasing, the
animals and that they were cheap
even at the fancy p'rise which thv
were compelled to pay for them.
MANY BRANDS RECORDED
Judge Bradshaw's Decision Has a
Tendency to Hurry Stockmen
to the Record Books.
Ever since Judge Bradshaw's de
cision at the McKay trial in Fos
sil relative to the recording of
stock brands, County Clerk, J. J.
Smith, has been kept busy making
new records. The string of leath
ers, each bearing a different brand
and which the law requires every
person owning a brand to file, is
growing steadly, and at the present
rate of increase it will not be long
jefore division X umber Two will
teen or twenty, other civi.actionsJhnve to be started.
which will a all probability come-
up for trial. At the time of going
to press thene have not been offi
cially entered on the docket owing
to the f not that summons have not
hon returned, or other papers are
lacking to ; make ' the cases com
plete. Ais the general rule most
of these cases w ill he amended at
the final moment and rushtilsto
trial, hilt so far they are not in
court though complete Vxcopt in
a iew minor dettils. "
The evidence against young
Dmikcl will probably lie given to
the grand jury as soon as Iho' lat
tei is empaneled next Monday,
and if an indictment is returned
the case will go on tr.nl.
FAIR EXHIBIT IS GROWIXO
Haa the larRest'percentaee of
cash aaeets to each dollar of lia
bility ; earna the highest average
interest, and issues the moat up-to-date
progressive policies for in
vestment or protection.
Postmaster Summers Is Diligent
in Procuring Collection for
the St. Louis Exposition.
If the efforts heiug made now by
Postmaster Summers in gathering
material for the St. Louis fixposirfof ;, c0ulty in the- state in
tion in 1001 are successful even in
a small degree, Crook county's dis
play will be a credit both to Cent
ral Oregon and the state itself, -
The room next to the post-ofTc,
in which the various products are
being placed, is already assuming
the appearance of a county fair.
BIG SALE OF BEEF CATTLE
a total of 200,000 pounds, and the
firm of Salomon, Johnson Co,
shipped about 75,000 pounds.
The wool handled by these local
firms ia from Die different clips in
Crook county clone, and does not
include any from outside points,
and while these figures are- large
in themselves, tliey compare favor
ably with the amount of - wool
which passes through Prineville
from different points in Harney
and Lake counties during the
season. Ine Chrisman and Conn
freight teams from Silver Lake
have already snade several trips
to the railroad and each lime load
ed with 40,000 pounds. There are
still several shipments to lie made
by .these, two firms before all of
their wool is in the warehouse at
Shaniko.
When the fact is taken into con
sideration that enough wool passes
thiough rnneville during the sea
son to load about 75 freight cars of
average capacity, there is left little
room to doubt that better tran
sportation facilities, are needed.
WHEAT BRINGS GOOD PRICE
Since last Maj, 26 new brands
have been recorded, 16 of which
have been put on record since the
decision reterred to last month
It seeing o be the prevailing Idea
that all brands whether they have
been recorded before or not must
have a fresh .recording, and the re
sult has been considerable con
fusion. Sonic brands which have
been in use for periods ranging
from 10 to 20 years $re just jiow
finding a place on the hooks. The
law requires that no brand. shail
bear a similarity to another, and
some trouble has been caused ow
ing to the fact that a few of these
old cattle marks which have never
beeft put on the books bear a re
semblance to later ones already re
corded. The result is a conflict
when the owners of the former ap
ply for a record of their brands.
Judging from the rate at which
the book of records is being filled,
Crook pounty bids fair to have the
highest ounilier of recorded brands
. V. Howard Will Dispose of
2500 Head This Winter to
California Stock Buyers.
J. W. Howard, the Crook county
cattleman who is wintering his
beef cattle in Lake county this
year, will feed about 2500 head
during he winter months in the
vicinity of Klamath Falls. Mr.
Howard at present has about 3500
beeves rounded up and will sell
his first delivery about the 20th of
November. They have been sold
to California buyers and will be
taken from Lake county to theft
destination in that state. Other
sales hare been completed and the
deliveries will be made about every
20 days until 2500 head have been
dispose!! of. J
Mr. toward has purchased all
of the hay belonging to Ankeny &
Cantrall, also that from the Hen
ley ranch besides many other
smaller lot?, and is feeding at pre
sent about 40 tons a day. A large
number bf his Cattle haVabeen at
Silver 1ke,. but these are being
driven to the Klamath Basin. Mr,
Howard expects to have most of
his cattle marketed bv the. 1st of
January. -
Prinevilje Flour Mills Buying
. Large Quantities and Paying
Above Portland Markets.
Wheat raisers in this section of
Crook county will have no com
plaints coming this year so far as
the disposal of their crops and the
prices paid for them are concern
ed. Wheat is quoted at the Prine
ville Flouring Mills at 8. cents
cash, and 90 cents on accounts.
The former price is unusual at
this season of the year and in fact ,
is 10 cents higher than the market
quotation in Portland. The ad
vanced price this year is due how
ever, lo the general impression
that flour is in as great a demand
as it was last year when the tim
ber rush was at its height and
flour was finding many avenues of
escape which this year are closed.
The flour mills here in the city
at present are running from 18 to
20 hours a day with a total output
of 60 barrels in that time, besides
from eight to ten tons of feed
when the chopimr is heing operat
ed. On October 9th, 1190 bushels
of wheat were delivered 4at the
mill which is the largest amount
ever unleaded there in one day.
t0e thousand and seventy-two
uusneis were mined into the Dm ,
on the 5th, and the average dur
ing the month, with these two ex- -ceptions,
has tieen between five
and seven hundred bushels daily.
Most of the grain is coming from
the Haystack countrynd the re
fined product is being'tonsumed .
in aijery Bection of Crook cpunty
anuT even as far south' as Silver
Lake from which place an order ,
for 150 barrels was rwfMved by
the mills this wcWk. , ,' . '

WOOL SHIPMENTS HEAVY
Many Outside Horses Are Being
1 Brought in for Jockey Cluk'a
Event This Month. ,
Prineville Merchants This Y'ear
Handle Nearly One Million
Pounds of Fleece.
Some, idea of the magnitude of
Central Oregon's wool production
may lie gained from the statements
of tho various merchants in Prine
ville who have handled wool dur
ing the past season. These figures
are only for such dips as have
passed through these merchants
hands for shipment and do not in
clude the many pounds of wool
handled individually by the own
ers themselves. . "
Three finis in this city during
the past season shipped out 925,000
pounds." Wurzweiler and Thom
son handled the bulk of this, -their
shipments approximating 650,000.
Simpson & Wilson come next with J seen on :he list of Indian racers.
fudging from the. number of
horses which are coming into the
city from outside points the race
meet of the Jockey Club tjie last
of the month will show tip some
spirited racing. Horses have
come in during the past week from
Grant county, the Warm Springs
reservation, and even as fur away
as the Yakima country. V
Two Indian horses have." been
sent in by their owners frnn the
reservation and will be-acenyii the
races. They are: Gray link, by
James Johnson; and Tom, by Carl
Webster. .
J. H. Parker has brought in
some horses from The Dalles, and
has announced his intention of en
tering four of them. Big Dutch,
Black Dugan, Tampa and Tempest.
He expects lo send these together
with several others to Lakeview to
enter them in the races which will
be held there in November.
Elk, a buckskin owred by Tom
Jackson of Yakima, will also be
