pupils of the public schools of this county
who successfully stood the recent exami
nations for graduation from the common

pupils entered for the examination and
70 will receive diplomas. The rules pro

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.

the stovs. foundry, the. state receiving
compensation for their labor at the rae
or 3i4 cents per hour. 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.
