the thing we want We can go out there

wages, and then In tbe autumn come
back to Portland with enough money to
put en. a good front end take the town
by storm. Then we will get Jobs in our
own line. ' This sheep business aults
us. Just now,- thoUgh- Of oourse the
most of ua never saw more than 10
sheep at a time, but we're got the neces

there's anything coming our way. Sure,
we will come back to Portland. Re
