Ben Brown, a young business man of Burns, Harney county, says of that sec lion : "We are going to have over a- half mil lion pounds of wool this year, nd that must be hauled to the O. R. & N. Just six men or firms own over 100,000 head of cattle. - There's P. French, -who has 40,000 head, and Miller & Lux, who have 50,000, and these men own im mense tracts of land. 'French has 100 000 acres and Miller & Lux have 125,000 acres. And there is plenty more land to spare in Harney county. Two of the three heaviest' taxpayers in the county each pay $6000 on their property, while the third pays $6500. The raising price of beef has helped us considerably, and there are now but 10.000 steers remain ing to be sold this season. "The price of wool has, of course, in jured the sheepman greatly. At the present time they are not paying ex penses. Many of them have mortgaged their sheep, and now that times have not as yet improved greatly they are go ing to get into trouble. Few of them will be able to pay off their mortgages. "But we'll come out all right in the end. Wool will rise in price as times grow better. Then if the Oregon Pacific were constructed through Southern' Or egon to an Eastern connection, you would see a rapid development.

Yesterday evening just before the boat came in, a lumber laden scow that had been anchored near the wharf undertook to move up the slough to the. foot of Washington street. Just before she pulled in her gang plank, oneof the men employed on her made bis- appearance and started to get aboard. He had a new pair of shoes under hisj. arm and booze enough for a half dozen jags under his vest. As he struck the boat he fired one shoe across the scow's bow to bring her to and the other which was aimed at the hull struck the water . instead owing to lack of elevation. Seeing the stranger bearing down on 'them with his batteries and knees unlimbered, the crew -of the ecow were ' hastily "beat to quarters" to receive him. Before any of them could get ashore to lend a hand the stranger struck the gang plank and plunging heavily ' forward struck bow on,' throwing the water in a sparkling shower for many yards. He struggled out, tackled the gang plank again, sat down straddle of it. and turning slowly over hung head down it moment, and then letting go all holds, went ca-plunk out of sight, scarcely rippling the surface of the water as he went in like a flat stone edgewise, or a frog with a snake after him. He crawled out, and scorning as sistance made another stagger at it only to miss the plank and hit the river for the third time. Then the bovs on the scow got him aboard and laid him out on a pile of lumber. He evidently did not like the lay out, for in a minute he was up again and had possessed himself of a pike pole, and commenced stabbing it in a friendly way into the broad ' bosom of the Columbia. The pole would not reach bottomf so in order to save him self be let go of it, but in a moment 're pented, and plunged in after it. Some of the men ran aft and hooking a pike1 pole into the seat of his overalls they pulled him on board again. He was - a persistent fellow thohgb, ' and the last we saw of him he was lying on his face with one of the crew eittinar' on him while the others landed the scow."'

Tom was proud of his purchase for awhile, but after getting the opinion of several canine connois seurs, he has somehow lost confidence in the cerulean hue. of the animal's ances tral blood, and ' is disposed to treat him with undue contempt, considering the amount paid for him.
