"WOOL 1 8 CENTS AT METOLIUS SALE" wei out n fho BevoMi a raised by Mr. Rrvnn from ".'UKUies.went 11.

Later in the sal fir the" "pr i ceoarcd-to18 centrj per pound for a clip brought to the Metoius warehouse from the Paulina country. This price exceeded that naid at either the Madras or Shaniko sales, rtnd tends to place Metolius on the map as the leading wool mar ket point of Central Oregon. In this connection it is exceed- ngly amusing to note the Madras Pioneer's account of the wool sale at the burg in the hollow. That paper told of the arrival of a dozen wool buyers and said that "after the local sale has been completed, the Oregon Trunk will take the buyers over Mptolius where there is a small quantity 'of wool to be sold." Wonder if the Pioneer this week will tell of the disgust of the wool buyers over the small amount of wool offered at the Madras sale? At Madras 111,000 pounds of wool were sold, while the Metolius sale was nearly double that amount, or 200,000 pounds. And the Pio neer said that the wool buyers would go over to Metolius, "where there is a small quantity of wooj to be sold." Fine! According to a Madras dispatch in the Portland Evening Tele gram an amount of wool exceed ing that sold was held at Madras. This included the.clips of Jim Rice and Morrow & Keenan, which, as a matter of fact, were sold several months ago at pri vate sale. The secretary of the Oregon Wool Grower's Association in the original schedule of wool sale dates, realized that little wool would be offered for sale at the town in the hollow, and named Metoius as the sale point for Contra Oregon. Madras made such a hue and cry that it also was given a date and by cutting warehouse charges secured wool that otherwise would have been brought to Metolius. Wonder what sort of a hot-air mixture our neighbor town will fix un next time to get a wool sale date?

The districts which will receive a copy of the notice from the superintendent's office, and those which wiU vote, on the question are the Madras, Mud Sprins, Gateway, Lyle Gap, Round Butte, Vibbert, Mountain View, Vanora, Fields and Mc- Elroys districts. This is the first official action hat has been taken by the coun ty authorities in the matter of securing the high school for Ma dras. Inasmuch as all the dis- ricts which will vote on the proposition have signified their desire to join in the union high school movement, the election on August 3rd will be no more than a ratification of their wish es in the matter, and the action of the boundary board is practi cal assurance that the school will be in operation this fall, HOYDAR LEAVES TO TAKE ALBANY AGENCY Popular O.T.Man Gets Promotion Frank Shugert Transferred at Same Time H. E. Jacobs, of the Agency lnins presented The Pioneer with a very fine basket of cher ries Wednesday afternoon, as a sample of tho fruit ho can grow on his dry farm, and we gladly bear evidenco that these cherries were as fine as any we have put a tooth into. J. J. Hoydar, who has been in charge of the Oregon Trunk affairs at Madras since last August, left Sunday morning for Albany, where he will be agent for the new Oregon Electric line, another Hill enterprise, which commenced operating into Al bany this week, the first regu'ar schedule going into effect July 4th. A. T. Meyers, formerly agent at Maupin, has been trans ferred to Madras to succeed Hoy dar, he arriving Saturday even ing. Frank Shugert, who has had charge of the baggage and express room at the local depot was also transferred to Albany, and will be with Hoydar at the new station. George Newell has succeeded Shugert. During the ten months of work in Madras, Hoydar has made friends with all with whom he has come in contact. His trans fer however is a deserved pro motion, and although regretting his departure, The Pioneer, with his other friends, congratulate him upon having been chosen as first agent at the new station.

" The above engraved annouce ments were received by iriend3 of the couple who are well known arid popular young people living northeast of Madras. From a preliminary ..review of the numerous initiative measures for which petition circulators have been appealing: to yoters of sicmat.res. it is safe io pe- dict that the number of bills al ready filed with the Secretary of State, together with those for which the required number of signatures have been obtained, will exceed the previous high record of 32 which were submit ted in the general election two years ago. Including those that have bene filed and those for which sufficient signatures have been secured, 33 initiative con stitutional amendments or meas ures of legislation are in sigth for the ballot in the election next November. This aggrega tion does not include Senator Malarkey's public service corn mission bill, which will be sut- mitted under the referendum, or the two University of Oregon appropriation bills, against which the referendum also has been invoked. These bills, how ever, are involved in litigation that is now pending in tne State Supreme Court. Under the law, the time for fil ing initiative measures in the office of the Secretary of State for the November election will expire at 6 oclock Thursday tatemodn;: Julyi;. Some of :. thai mare.:; measures included in the list fol low: Constitutional amendment tending to protect bank deposi tors. Constitutional amendment pro iding for woman suffrage. Two good road bills proposed by the Oregon State Grange. Four good road bills and two constitutional amendments, all being the work of the harmony committee appointed by Govern or West. U'Ren's constitutional amend ment providing for statewide single tax. Constitutional amendment abolishing State Senate and providing for proportional repre sentation, proposed by People's Power League. Constitutional amendment a- bolishing capital punishment Providing for creation of new counties and consolidation of in- corprated municipalities. Exempting from taxation household furniture, wearincan- parel and similar non-productive personalty. Exempting mortgage notes and other credits from taxation. Revising inheritance tax law to conform to the recommenda tions of the National Tax Asaoci-ation. The 1911 session of the Legis lature empowered the Governor to appoint a snecinl to study the judicial proceedure of the state and recommend such legislation as might be deemed desirable. The commission was appointed and has held sessions but decided to present such bills as it may draft to the leo-islntnrA : direct Otherwise this commis-' sion would have two or three. measures to submit under the in itiative and further burden the ballot in November.

The community is getting the fever, too, for two of the Madras matrons have intimated that they expect to scream if Mardas should beat Prineville, one of them having already offered to hazard a little wager on the local club. Preparations for the other events are under headway, and all will be, in readiness at the proper time. Information re ceived from surrounding coun try is to the effect that a large attendance is sure to be on hand. And why not for there will be fun and, amusement for- all?

Fighting the fire hose will possibly create as much amuse ment as any single event With only a small board to use by way of a shield, the contestants will each try to walk ud to the nozzle of the hose, water turned on at full pressure, the party coming the nearest the nozzle winning.
