WOOL SALES AT SHANIKO
The first annnnl wool sales Of
tins XnaHOM Jit .Iwuiiko weiv
Jield thnie on TuhmIiiv ami
Wednesday of this week, tw..
million pounds of wool cli:m;
ing hands at prions musing ..h
'tween 18 and 21 and 1 S cuts.
A number of buyers, represent
ing Eastern inanufaotuivrs and
dealers were in attendance. Th
Baldwin Sheep & Laud Cni
pany of Hayereek dispo-ed nt
their large clip ot nearlv lf)0,000
pounds at 20 and 8 4 c-nts.
Ewen Mclennan of Sliaiki.
whose clip of 100.000 pounds
"brought the top puce at th
sales, received 21 and 1 8 c tits,
his wools being in exception
all' good condition.
Prices were slightly lowei
than last season due to the
drouth of last season and the
.severity of the past Winter, ih
wools not being up to their
usual high standard. Shaniko
is the largest, wool market, fi
the raw product, in the United
States, and owitig to the qualm
and staple of the wool, ha
commanded the highest prices.
The prospect is that our irri
gating neighbors on the south
will have to look to their laurel
in -the matter of quantit' and
quality of crops inised thi.
year. The "dry 'country" of
the Agency Plains and Hay
stack district promises big
things this season.
A soaking rain fell over this
distrirt last Monday night, do
ing a vast amount of good to
growing crops, not that orop.
were sufi-ring for want of moi.
ture at this time, but it will
help to make good crops better.
So far, conditions have been an
that could be desired. Crop
are looking line and each
shower of tain lessens the dan
ger of injury from a possible
period between now and harvest
time when parching wind- may
prevail. With wheat prices
already high, the promise of
great activity in constitution
work on the big irrigation pro
jects in the desert region jusi
south of us which will make a
ready cash market for all kinds
of produce, and with almost a
Certainty of an immen-e crop,
the prospect for a prosperous
season for the fanners of this
district is very bright.
Strange how the aspect of
land changes with changing
conditions. The East Otvgon
,ian can remember when the
Sand Ridge, the beet wheat land
in Grand Honde valley, was
looked upon as worthless grass
land, not worth the homestead
filing fee. It can also remem
ber, more recently, when much
of the finest wheat land in the
nyrljwest part of Umatilla
couttty .was counted "cultus"
and farmers looked upon the
teuderfeHt who first located
upon tt in pity ami compassion.
Now flip, Sand Ridge land is
worth 100 pvr acre for wheat,
sugar beet pr. orchards and the
land northwest pf Pendleton is
not for sale at .any reasonable
price. Will : noj. the same
be true of Harney, Malheur,
Gilliam, Morrow .and other
counties havng Ajast areas of
Waste land? Bast Oregonian.
The matter of establishing a
distrint high s'oliool in U tdras
wll be submitted to the school
Voters at the annual meeting
next Monday. The proposal
for a high school should cam
unanimously. A negative vole
puts a premium on igMOrnnW
and will wink against supply
ing the ri-lng generation with
facili ies for equipping them
selves for ootnp tilioii with
those who have had better .id
vantages. To deny any pine
ieal and possible betterment ol
our school system is eWnini
of the 'pently-wi-e, pound
foolish" order. The Cost i- no1
the vital point to consider. An
improvement along this lin
will be worth all it costs, au
from the fact alone that the
movement for a district high
school, or ji department teach
ing the higher branches, is an
earnest effort to improve our
local educational taciiities.

EI. V. Gates lias li led on a
water ripht on the Matolen
River, with the intention of
installing a power plant there
iind generating electricity for
the Prineville Light & Water
Company, which will suppn
"juice" for the whole county. It
is not known at present just
when work on the new plant
will begin, but it will probably
be some time during the com
ing Fall. Review.
The Cline Palls Power Com
pany is putting in a larger
pump at the falls, Ed Harbin
being over there to superintend
the job. Irrigation is, of course,
held up ponding installation of
the new machinery, but the
oompTuiy will be the winner in
the end. At present the work
is confined to the building of a
heavy concrete foundation, the
new pump being on the way
from Shaniko. This pump is
of the centrifugal variety, like
the old one, but of a much
greater capacity. The same
turbine 150 horsepower is to
bp used to run the new pump.
