Jack Smith, a sheep man, arrived
from Huntington this morning and set
tles the fate of ErneBt Sherar for good.
He reports that that gentleman shipped
Sunday a band of 6000 sheep from Hunt
ington. A. S. Nolan & Co. of Nebraska bought
in April and May 21,000 head of Oregon
sheep. About ten days ago a band of
5,500 was shipped from Soda Springs,
Idaho, which were driven from Hav
creek, across the desert and mountains,
i now transpires that the trip to Port'
land on the part of several of the sheep'

ever known in a general election. This
club meets Friday night to formulate
measures as to the best manner of con
ducting the campaign, literature is

be organized, and many other
matters are to be looked after. A full

The funeral of Dollie Evelyn Hough

from tbe family residence. It wu at

ew of our citizens realize the tuagni-
de of tbe stock industry which liaa
ur city for its shipping center. From
figures kindly furnished The Chronicle
by Mr. Saltuaarsbe, proprietor or the
stock yards, we learn that already in the
current year there has been shipped 475
carloads of cattle and sheep, while from
Athe stations just above us, Heppner and
Arlington, there has been shipped al
most as many more. The figures are,
Heppner 250, Arlington 175, of which "75
per cent, has been cattle, 15 per cent,
sheep and 10 per cent, horses. Alto
gether this makes 900 cars of stock
which were raised adjacent to "the
Inland Empire," and shippe

There is ijre-doubt that nature has
richly gifted this section of the west for
stock raising. The diseases incident to
the middle west such as pleuro-pneu-
monia, epizootic, etc., are unknown
even by name to the vast maioritv of
breeders who reside roundabout.- The
winters are not only . so mild that lung
troubles do not appear, but the elements
are so propitious that it is only neces
sary to feed from one to two months dur
ing the season, while about one year in
five the grass is green and uncovered by
snow tbe year round. ' Our natural
bunch grass meets ' all ' requirements
Every variety of stock likes it and
thrives upon it. TneBe things being
considered, the large shipments pre
vioualy referred to need not create sur
prise.
For the remainder of the season atten
tion will naturally be directed to our
fruit rather than our stock shipments.
Three carloads of peach plums, most
of which have already . gone, comprise
but one article of fruit, which will be
shipped from The Dalles this season
Word was received yesterday from tbe
first carload, which was shipped some
ten days ago ; to Chicago by The Dalles
Commission Co. Its - manager, Mr.
Stadleman, informs The Cheoniclb that
they sold for -95;" cents per box,, the
highest price yet received. The encour
aging itieseage came with it that they
brough the top price,and so long as all the
fruit shipped was aa nice, if would con
tinue to demand the highest market
rates, no matter what was sent by other
sections of the country. As peach
plums form but a very small percentage
of our fruit interests,' shipments of fruit
for the season of 1896 bid fair to be
something tremendous.

Prof. Bristol, the trainer, called at
Tee Chkon-icle office this morning, and
told many interesting things regarding
his horses. Denver, he says, is the
most intelligent trained horse, or rather
mule, on earth. He has been offered
$5000 for him. Sultan, the horse who
counts, is the most high-spirited, and
was once considered tbe most vicious
horse in the country. He never failed
to smash any vehicle he was hitched to,
and invariably resented the whip by
trjing to kill his owner. Mr. Bristol
conquered him by the only possible way,
with kindness, and to this day he ex
hibits an insane fury if threatened with
the whip. Prof. Bristol said to the re
porter that tonight he would touch him j

had he struck hm, out of curiosity to
see what he would do. The blow was a
very light one, but Saltan came up
with open mouth, his eyea flashing un
trollable rage. But the professor's atti
tude changed. Instead of accepting the
horse' challenge to mortal combat be
offered him a lump of sugar and the
truce was accepted. Comanche is brim
ming over with mischief, and is always
bitiug and playing tricks upon the other
horses. He is the bad boy in school.
The professor understands tbe spirit and
encourages it. He can appreciate viva
city in a horse as well as in a human
being. Thousands of men would take it
for meanness, and try to whip it. out of
an animal, when it is only '.high.' spirits.
"Horses should never be whipped," said
Mr. Bristol. "It breaks their hearts,

J The following letter was received a
j few days ago by Rev. O. D. Taylor from
a .Denver commission nouse:
Mr. O. V. Taylor, Te Dalle, Or,
DeaiiSib: We are in receipt of a
nice shipment of peach plums which we
presume are some of your raising, as the
crates bear your name. We are clad to
say that this shipment arrived in fine
condition and does credit to the packer
as well as the grower. Although the
market is quite heavily stocked with
California plum", which are selling at
very low price, we shall try to realize
for this shipment a little above market
price. The express charges are 50 cents
aerate. Of course that is a large part
of the fruit growers labor and seems un
fair, but cannot be helped. Now these
goods in car lots might be shipped by
freight which would make the charge 25
cts per cwt instead of 50 cts or there
about. We could not adviee a straight
car of peach plums, but we think a
mixed car of fruit, if it could be gotten
together, might be shipped in freight
car lots witb good results. We do not
think it ever necessary to go to the ex
pense of icing a car, as the fruit stands
up better if not iced and gives a longer
time in which to dispose of the ship
ment. Yours truly, '
