SHEEP ARE HEALTHY. After a vexatious delay of several months in determining the location ot the Stubblefield home for indigent widows and orphans of the states ot Washington and Oregon, and within a few hours after it had been definite­ ly decided that the institution would be established near Walla Walla, an action was commenced in the super­ ior court in mis city which tri., ten,, to cause more trouble for the trustees ot the proposed home and tray hold up the matter for an indefinite period of time, says the Walla Walla States­ man. Shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mary McElroy and Henry »«nite, both residents of Arkansas, through Attorneys McDonald and Rutt, filed a pe-.-.on in the court pray.ng that the will of the late Joseph Stubuieneld be annulled, set aside and held for naught, and that a share of the sani estate be distrib­ uted to tne petitioners as heir at law of the decedent. The petitioners allege that they are the children of Betsy White, who is now deceased, and that their mother was a sister of the deceased Joseph L. Stubblefield. After setting forth the provisions of the will as filed in the court the petitioners cite the fol­ lowing as a ground for action: "That at tne time of the execution of the said pretended will, to-wit: On the fifth day of May, 1902, the said Joseph L. Stubblefield did not have the capacity to make any will or testament, in this, to-wit: That at said time the said Joseph L. Stubble­ field was not of sound mind and mem­ ory. but on the contrary was in liis dotage and not in a possession of his mental .acu.des as to be able to com­ prehend or understand the legal ct- fects of any of the provisions of said will, and his mind was so impaired .nd weakened as tc render him in­ capable of making any will or testa­ ment or making any disposition or distribution of his property.

WINTER FEEDING CONDITIONS EXCELLENT IN BAKER AND ONION J. H. Gwinn, secretary of the State Woolgrowers' Association, has return ?d from a trip through Baker and I Union counties While the tour was primarily to look after professional matter*. Mr. Gwinn availed himse». of every opportunity to look over the general stock situation, not confining bis observation and inquiries to' tb<- ■ sheep industry. The present prospects for winter range throughout Baker and Union counties are now excellent, whereas a short time ago it wa* very dubious, owing to the unprecedentedly early and heavy fall of snow. This sou’ has passed off. leaving the range I green, and never before at this ;un ■ of the year has the range in that re­ gion been finer than it is now Should the weather stay open, which la the present prospect, a second crop of range grass is due before long, where­ at the stockmen are greatly rejo.ee 1. Crops Better Than Reported. > The various forage crops were much better in the two counties men­ tioned than has been generally sup­ posed in this neighborhood, although it was by no means a heavy crop. But only in individual cases was the crop a failure. But those cases were just as liable to be the owner.r cf considerable flocks of sheep ana herds of caitle. and the .result was a more or less panicky feeling among the men affected.by the kx-al short­ ages. One immediate result was that many of these parties threw their flocks and herds on the market, which at once depressed the market very much, but only temporor ly an I the present market is stronger than It has been for months pgrst, with a prospect of ft being still stronger. Many thousand head of sheep an.I cattle were sold to the East ?rn nur- kr-ts and went clea rout of the coun­ try Thia of course made forage sni other feed relatively more plentiful The stock which were sold, but which did not leave the country, nad passed into the hands of men who had feed enough to carry the mover, and tho two factors have combined to bull the market heavy. So the era of low prices for livestock in that region s over for this year at least.
