EASTERN OREGON j
WOOL SALE!
The Price Paid was a Little Under
that of Last Year.
A dispatch from Pendleton state
that the first clip of thin year sold
for 17 cents. Last yar the fame
clip sold for 18 cent.
In discussing the wool situation,
Hyiuan II. Cohen in the Oregon ian
pays:
They pay there must be a reason
for everything that hapten, the
cause of every event being very clear
ly defined. To some people there is
only one reason why the high prices
that weie paid for wool a year ago
by eastern buyers as well as local
ones are not paid today, and that
is because the dealers have banded
together and are forcing the market
down. This is true in one par
ticular, but not in the sense that
most sellers put it. The dealers
seemed to have banded together,
but at this distance to an unin
terested party it looks as if they
have been forced to do something
to keep from slaughtering each
other. This is meant for the
Pacific coat dealers. For fully
two years the dealers have bid
against each other with professional
jealousy until every part of their
regular profits have been swept
away. According to an indepen
dent buyer who is not with any
clique ajid can therefore speak
freely his mind, not a single buyer
received any profits for his wool
purchases in the Pacific northwest
during the past season, some of
them netting a small loss at the
end of the trading. The have for
ced prices up upon themselves
solely because they did not want a
rival dealer to secure the supplies.
They have for two years paid over
their limits for wool for just this
reason. When a loss was made in
the eastern sales the local people
had to stand for it because they
had in most instances bid them
selves out of pocket.
When this year's price of wool
in Oregon is from lc to 2c a pound
lower than the figures that were
paid a year ago, there has been
only a fractional decline in the
east. Trade, however, is at low
ebb, for manufacturers are not
very eager to purchase at the high
figures which have ruled so long a
time. Then again the congestion
of freight make considerable dif
ference in the price that should be
paid by coast buyers in order not
to overreach their limits. Cars are
hard to obtain and it takes consi
derable more time for shipments
to reach the east. All the time the
wool is held away from the eastern
buyer is that much money lost, for
he figures on interest every time,
and sometimes changes in the mar
ket are not agreeable for his appe
tite. Irrigation Project on the
Co-Operative Plan.
A despatch from Salem to the
Journal says:-Unlike other irriga
tion projects, the reclamation work
of the Deschutes Reclamation & Ir
rigation company is done by the
settlers themselves on the land.
The segregation includes some
1,280 acres in a tract . east of the
town of Laidlaw, in crook county.
The state land board has approved
the rules and regulations regard
ing the distribution of water in the
reclamation work to be done by
that company, which had previous
ly received the recommendation of
State Engineer Lewis. In accor
dance with provisions of the con
tract 1.08 feet of water is to be put
on the land during the 90-day per
iod of maximum use. After the
land has been fully reclaimed and
the contract with the state has
been fulfilled the settlers will re
ceive title to the lands from the
federal government.

WAR ON SAGE RATS
IN CROOK COUNTY
WUI be Inoculated With a Virus of
a Contagious Disease.
A dispatch from Madras to the
Portland Journal says that an ef
fort to rid this part of Crook coun
tv of the sage rat pest will be made
under government supervision
seems probable. Correspondence
is in progress between interested
parties here and Stanley E. Piper,
assistant in the United States bio
logical survey, now at Pullman,
Washington, where he is engaged
in field work, inoculating the
ground squirrels of eastern Wash
ington with a virus of a fatal con
tagious disease. This correspon
dence has brought out the fact that
the department is anxious to text
the virus on the sage rat, and in
case the laboratory Osta prove sat
isfactory, Mr. Piper promises to
come to Madras and personally
direct field work for the extermina
tion of the rats in this section.
At his request 50 or more live
sage rats will be expressed from
this place to the Pullman experi
ment station to be- subject to the
inoculation tests by Mr. Piper, who
expresses the opinion that the
virus will be of great assistance in
combatting the little pests.
V The sage rata have assumed con
siderable importance throughout
this region as crop destroyers, not
only to cerals, but also in the irrt
gated alfalfa fields, us the roots of
the plant appear to be more to
their liking than the stalks or seed,
while their burrowing also destroys
many plants.
"MYhile it may not be possible for
the government biologist to come
Madras this season for field wrk,
he announces his intention of start
ing an early campaign on the sage
rata in the spring of 1908.
The sage rat is a small, brown,
gopher-like squirrel, which lives in
burrows in the ground and multi
plies rapidly. To inoculate the
rats with the germs of a fatal and
contagious disease and allow them
to spread the disease among their
neighbors by natural association
j seems to be the only practical way
of destroying them.
Two farmers of this district last
season kept count of the sage rats
they killed in various ways and
know that they destroyed over
3,000 of them along their fields,
ana yei, iney assert, tnere were
just as many rats remaining there
as where none had been killed.
Powel Buttes Jottings.
The past few weeks has been a
record breaker, recording to the
oldest settlers, for high winds which
has blown out and whipped off
most all the grain, both fall and
spring sowing, which is quite dis
couraging to the farmers. The
outlook for . a bumper crop was
good, as anunsual amount of mois
ture was stored up in the ground
with much freezing during the
winter, the soil was in good crop
condition. The continued norther
ly winds are rapidly drying the
ground out, which is much against
good crop conditions. The conti
nued cold weather is practically an
assurance of a good fruit crop.
A few of the farmers here on the
north side of the Butte are experi
menting with alfalfa and red clover
and from the phenomenal growth
of the first year and the promising
appearance bo far this season. It
is to be hoped they can grown suc
cessfully here. ,
Dunn Mustard who has a con
tract for plowing 100 acres of land
on the Stanley ranch, was home a
few days last week looking after
planting his potatoes and garden
truck.
Z. T. Gideon who taught the Rye
Grass school last winter, has moved
onto his homestead, which is situa
ted between the Vandevert ranch
and Eld. Cooke's place.
Preaching services were held at
the Shepard school house laBt Sun
day. Eld. J. T. Moore preaching
in the morning at 11 and Eld. W.
S. Cooke at the evening service.
Eld. Cooke will again preach next
Sunday the 5th at 3 p.m.
Mr. Yates was at home recently
overseeing some work he was hav
ing done on his ranch.
Rather a large number of fruit
trees were -set out this spring
around the Buttes and on the
desert.
