Clerk's Office More Than Self-Sustaining It it not generally known but it s a fact that the county clerk's affice is more than eslf-suetaining. It UVea in at least a third more in fee than it costs the county to maintain it. In the year 1011 nearly f 7000 was received in fee. The exact figures are 16970.3$ This is an average of foSO.Slil a mouth. The expenses of the oilice average about two-third? of this amount. The receipts for 1910 were near ly at great as for lasit year. Some lt!$o9 65 was taken in by County Clerk Brown. This means lots of painstaking work of ths most el iding kind.

Of course, the young lajKs didn l want their respective fathers and their prospective fatb rs-in-law to be punctured, so they managed to extract the bul lets from their revolvers and re- p'ace them with blank cartridges. Tben the men met at close range, but what markmanehip! Twelve ihots at five yards and none bit. Tbe young folks then succeeded in toaxing tbe old folks to paten up their differences and it is expected Ibat soon the wedding bells will ring out for a double wedding. This lively picture may be seen at lbs Lyric Friday and Saturday tvenings. Rebekah Entertained. Those not present at the last regular meeting of the Rebekahs Kissed one of the treats of the sea son.

A load of choice cows sold at $ 5 35. The Livestock j Reporter says of the course of; the cattle market so far this week: "The big feature of the cattle I market was the advanced regist- j ered on choice steers. Some of; tho best heavy, finished bullocks seen here for a month were offer- i ed the killers and did not have to j lose auy time on the way to tho i shambles. The bulk of steer! sales was also higher than last week and it was evident beef buyers were eager for choice ; stock but not averse to taking ! the poorer grades providing a fresh deluge would not be pre cipitated. Butcher stock was really second choice with the buy ers, chieffy because cow and heifer stuff was not offering very freely and representative sales were not as large comparatively as the previous period. Veal market was steady to strong with few calves offering and every thing snapped up. row (litis, Little (litis, Valentines, Old Ladies, Sun lionnet Haby, Tambourine Girl, IUue Hell, 1'. S.

Wool buying on the sheep's hack I hi started in a small way in East ern Oregon. A few contracts have keen made in the vicinity of Arlington and in Wallowa county. The prices paid ranged from 14 to 16 cent?, which are about the same as paid last year. According to Isidor Kohland, who has just returned from a trip through Eastern Oregon and Idaho, tbe growers are feeling jubilant . sver the proepects for increased prices. He said: "The sheepmen have had a very Diceasful winter, from a stock standpoint.
