Merinos. , I have about . 10.000 bead, most of which are leased out ; I furnish the hay for winter teed and .receive half, the wool and half the' Increase., I. do not own much land. have k little over 2.000 acres here in Morrow County and Some In the State of 'Washington, f I have- three sections of wheat land near Wala Walla, which bring me In a good revenue.' Fifteen years ago I bought three sections of railroad, land, paying 12.10 per acre. Now I can get 82' pee acre tot it. In this county land Is wel-y low, :Tou- caa get erasing lttnd tor from 12.50 to f G per acre, while good Wheat land can be bad for from 15 to IS Per acre, No sales are yet reported, but the mutton market will open soon. Yes, It may-open a little lower than last fall. Mutton ia now much cheaper than beef. You will see mutton quoted at 12.75 per hundred, while beef will run at 15 or tt per .hundred weight. Decreased range Is theo ause. The aheep raiser has to leas a or bUy land to' run his sheep. He finds It. la.JOat aa cheap to' false hay to feed through the winter aa to spend the mony In buying more range, ao sheepmen are beginning to raise feed. The conditions aro, .changing, rapidly. Formerly a 'man would have a thousand dollars Invested In land and ton or twelve thousand ln Testedv In aheep: now he has as much has in sheep. Formerly ho would take up a quarter sec tion on a creek and another one a -mile or ,00. higher up and fenoe In all inter vening land.. Now they are beginning to look t$ these smuggled quarter sections and jump them. . I have known quarter Sections with a crop of wheat on It to be bomesteaded,. Land worth (12 or 116 per acre beng bomesteaded by parties dis covering the owner'e lack of title. People blame the meat trust with higher prices . pf meat,, It ia not entirely the meat trust, jt is tne cnangen CONDITIONS OF 1 PRODUCTION and the increased cost of raising .stock."

One of 'the gentlemen was A. B. Wells who came to Eastorn Oregon in 186S. ''When 1 came to HeppneY twenty-six years ago," said Mr. Wells, "there were only two stores here Heppner ft MorroW and Taylor Bpencer. Therf were about a score of people here. Press Looney lived In ,a log cabin north of town. George Stane berry and family were here. Henry Jones and others." The other Waa Julius Keithley, who qame hero In '74. He told me of the upa and downs of the town since that date. Heppner ft Mort-ow waa the principal firm then. Later It waa Heppner ft Maddook. Maddock vaa Once sheriff and was shot through the face In arresting the notorious Hank Vaughn. Later Hepp ner went Into partneomtp with Black man. Poor old Hepp, he baa been Influ ential In building .up the town. The town was named after him, , "TheVe he goea now," said some one; "he may- look like a bobo, but he ia the heaviest taxpayer In the county. That row of brick blocks opmmencing opposite the Paloua' Hotel and running toward the depot la bia property. He owns a big warehouse too. Tie & better to everyone else than, to himself." ' I followed Mr. Heppner and presently dropped Into a chair beside him.
