SHEEPMEN LIKE ELECTION POINTS TO REPUBLICAN SUCCESS AND' PRICES. IN THE FALL. The Wool Industry la Lalce Coanty- How It Is Ceadaeted and Hair .J It Has Grown. LAKEVTEW, Or., June 17. The sheep, men of Lake County are greatly 'pleased with tho result of tho recent election In Oregon, for they can now rest -assured as to the result this Fall. The coming Presidential election, however, makes tho wool market very uncertain, and the pres ent price of wool Is not as high as, antici pated by the sheepmen last Fall. The highest price offered for wool for this Spring's" clip Is 13 cents, while advance Gfters were made In the FaH as high as 17. and IE cents. But the producers were under the Impression that they would get 20 cents this Spring. There are several woolbuyers and commission men in Lake County, but so far no sales have been made. The sheepmen are Inclined to think that the price will be higher when the South" African war is brought to a dose, and when there is some certainty as to the result of the election. The sheep and wool-growing, business Is the second Industry of Lake County, and the high prices being paid' for sheep and wool show It to be an Important in dustry. At tho present time yearling ewes are selling at $3 50 per head, and yearling wethers at 12 SO, and 53 for 2-year-olds. Posefbly no other section In the state has as natural advantages for sheep as Lake. In the northern portion of tho county there is a large area, of land known as" the desert; This land Is dry and worth less It. the Summer time, while in tho Winter barely sufficient snow files to sup ply -rater for watering stock. It has been the custom for years for sheepmen to drive their bands to this "desert" for V'nter range. Our most wealthy sheep men started with a few head of cheep and without owning any range or hay land made fortunes by this means. They would herd the sheep In the mountains In the Stynmer and drjve them to the desert in the Winter. The grass remains suf ficiently green on the desert all Winter to bring the sheep" out fat in the Spring. Ths sheepmen formerly camped In tents, and would move from place to place as the range was eaten off. Now most of them ore supplied with large covered wagons, called "arks," and In them they have their stove, bed and their Winter supplies. Thus they can move from place to place with very little trouble. Every sheepman has a certain location for Win ter and Summer range, and Is used as his own property, rarely being molested by other sheepmen. However, when there Is a dry season" and the range is short, there Is occasionally some trouble, but it is usually between the cattlemen and sheep men. Sheep shearing in Lake County is done later than lr. any other county in the state, and t'aat part of the business is not yet completed, but will be finished this month. The clip so far has been very flattering to the woolgrower, as the average per head is much heavier than usual. This Is accounted for by tho past Winter being so very mild, which al lowed "the wool to grow much faster and finer, and the sheep were not compelled to rustl so hard for feed, naturally caus ing them to do less runnnlng through the brush, which scratches off more or less wool. The lambing season, which has Just passed, was also quite favorable to the sheepmen. In some Instances 110 per cent increase was made. AT THE STATE PRISON. Namber of .Convicts Reduced More Thnn 30 Per Cent. SALEM, June 20. The total number of prisoners confined In tho Oregon State Penitentiary Is 235, all men except one.

During his term of office Governor Gear has pardoned U prisoners arid commuted the sentences of 14. The pardons restored the men to citizenship, while the commu tations only shortened the term of im prisonment. The names of those who have been restored to citizenship and the crimes of which they were convicted are as follows: Luther Perkins, Union, lnrceny; W. A. Wilson, Multnomah, forgery; J. N. Rus sell, Coos, murder; C. Montgomery. Mult nomah, Illegal disinterment; Edward Ful ler. Washington, burglary; Thomas Goldsworthy, Baker, manslaughter: R.-F. Hollls.

A few men are employed on the farm and garden and around the buildings. A small force -la now engaged In graveling the public road leading from the .penfltentlary to the asy-lvra-fa-Qi. Petition for a Pardon. A petition was filed in the Governor's office jtoday asking for the pardon of WMkijn Hanna, who was received at the Penitentiary in January, 1899, on a ttyee year sentence. Hanria was convicted In Umatilla County of the crime of buying, receiving and concealing stolen horses. He was the purchasing agent of the horse packery at Llnntoa and bought horses stolen by Zlbe Morse and Jack Ogg. both of whom were tried and convicted. Tne petition states that Hanna did not know a the time ho received them that the horses were 'stolen, and that he after ward tried to conceal the crime through a feeling of friendship for -Morse" and Ogg. The petition Is signed by nine trial Jurors. The other three were absent from the county. Advnnce In Price of Batter Fat. The Townsend creamery announces that the price of butter fat has advanced to 17i cents, and that price will be paid beginning tomorrow. The creamery was. established with the agreement that the price paid for butter fat should be 'gov-' erned by the market price of the best creamery butter at Portland. As butter -advanced a -rise In the price' of butter fat look place?, first from 15 'to 164 cents and now to 174 cents. Owing to the dry weather, the amount of "cream jecelved at the factory has been diminishing' until tho last f eW days, when I if has increased again. About 1790 pounds of butter per week Is the average out- put at present. The butter;' is shipped as soon 86' Jt is packed, the greater part of it going to Seattle and San Francisco. Most of w that sent to Seattle Is for tho Alaska trade. Manford McCrosky, formerly a butter manufacturer at Rosewood O.,- and re cently employed by the Albany creamery, fs now" In charge of the Townsend cream ery. "He.-nys that In comparison with the conditions that prevail In 'He own state, the prospects for the, creamery industry in Oregon are very bright. He says that the- tests, of cream, Itfuthls state average fully 1 per cent, andVeven more, higher than in Ohio. He thinks'- that with tho excellent growth of grass and the long season for pasturage, the farmers should find da'rylng very profitable. He says, however, that the brt results will not be attained until the producers learn the value or green food at th seasons when grass is ehort or dry. The sih and Sum roer soiling he considers essential to, a continuous flow of milk at-the season when butter brings the highest ' price. Capital City Brevities.
