Corrected Dates
Dates (or tho Eastern Oregon
wool sales have been fixed by the
State Woolg'rowers' Association,
by the various county associations
and by the woolbuyers, These
dates conflict In some respects
but the differences will probably
be adjusted in a few days.
The following list of dates, as
arranged by tho buyers:
. Echo, May 29.
Pendleton, May BO.
Pilot Rock, June 8.
Ileppner, June 4. .
Baker, June 8.
Ontario, June 10.
Valo, June 11.
Shaniko, June 18. ,
Mo toil us, June 21.
Bend, June 22.
, Joseph, Jnue 05.
Euterpnse, June 20.
Shaniko, July 0.
Baker, July 10.
Regarding tho date of the
Baker sale the Baker Democrat
says:
"Secretary John G. IJoke, of
the Oregon Woolgrowers' As
sociation, announced that the
dates of the sale for Grant County
in Baker had been changed from
July 8 to July 0. The change in
dates made for the accomodation
of the Grant County woolmeur
who are mombers of the Baker
Elks lodge and who desire to
make the trip to tho grand lodge
at Portland on the Elks' special
train, which loaves Buker Sun

the sale date ahead two days,
thoy will bo ake to attend the
sales and finish in time to leave
for Portland the next evening.
Coming on the Cth, it will also be
possible for many to attend the
celebration on the 4th and 5th and
attend the sale and combine the
two events to one trip."
also euch given a fleece averaging
9 pounds, which owing to the light
shrinkage brings about 3 centa per
pound more than the average
Merino wools. Hampshire sheep
are especially adapted for the
(urmer and for the sheepman of
Central Oregon who is breeding
(or a lamb market.
The Hampshire sheep is the
largest and heaviest ol the Down
breeds, and presents a very strik
ing appearance, the rams having
bold Roman countenances, and the
ewes with characteristically strong
but feminine faces. Tbey have
iark brown or black points, the
bone Is large, the limbs especially
strong and well set on, with a good
fleece of fine, white wool. Tbey
are healthy and proliGo and the
ewes are g6od mothers, giving an
abundance of milk.
The Hampshire ia essentially
the Bheep (or the farm, fitted by
long habit to being put in hurdles,
able to consume a large amount of
food and to make from it good
mutton at an early age. The
Hampshire lamb is famed tor its!
early maturity and great weight.
Tbere is no breed that excel the
Hampshire in this respect. Well
kept Hampshires are among the
most profitable sheep in tho world
Mr. Elkins says that the farmers
of Crook county are loosing money
every day by not buying wire
netting fences to keep out preda
tory animals and raising a few
sheep along with their cows and
hogs. Twenty ewes will not take
any more feed in the winter than
one horse, and in the summer they
will keep fat on the weeds on the
Summer fallow and waste of the
farm. Twenty Merino ewes bred
to a Hampshire ram should bring
an annual income from one hun
dred to one hundred and twenty
dollars with very little expense.
Hampshire lambs coming in March
from Delaine ewea will weigh Irom
05 to 70 pounds in July and are
ready to market. The time has
come when the farmers should
raise and fatten more livestock.
All grain and hay produced on the
(arm should be (ed on the farm,
marketed through the livestock,
the manure going back to the land
to keep up its fertility.

Forest Department
Building Telephones
Forest Supervisor Ross shows
in a recent report that approxi
mately five miles of telephone
line have been constructed and
two instruments have been in
stalled on the Ochoco National
Forest during the past season.
His office is now connected with
two districts, which contain ap
proximately 800 million feet B. M.
of excellent yellow pine timber.
District 3 on the north slope of
the Blue Mountains south of
Mitchell, Oregori, will be con
nected as soon as funds permit.
It is a heavy stand of timber and
a telephone will greatly reduce
the fire risk in this district.
The estimated amount of tim
ber on this national forest is
10,422,000 M feet B. M. The
slopes of the mountains aUo
furnish range to 30,000 head of
sheep and about 2000 head of
cattle. Both the timber and
range are perishable property
and must be protected from Tire.
A comprehensive system of
trails and telephone lines has
been planned which when com
pleted will make every portion of
this forest accessible, and bring
areas which are now isolated
much closer, in point of time, to
the outside world. During the
dangerous season the Forest
Service will then be able to pat
trol a given region more quickly
and effectively, and in case of a
fire, men and supplies can be
quickly rushed to it. - The time
elapsing between the discovery
of a fire and attacking it is the
important factor in fire fighting.,
Several years will be required
to complete the necessary trails
and telephone lines, but the work
will be pushed along as fast as
appropaiations made by Congress
will permit. The most necessary
or primary improvements are
being constructed first and the
system will be gradually com
pleted by the addition of the
secondary improvemeats.
