The second session of the Wool -Grow-ers' Association couver.el at 8 o'clock last evening. The program wub opened bv Birgfeld's orchestra, which rendered two selections in their usual excellent inauner. It was intended that B. S. Pague, of the United S.tatoB weather bureau, Port land, would apeak on "Climatic Influ ence Alt'eetiug tiie Ranges," but it was impossible for Mr. Pague to be present, and John Minto of Salem gave a lengthy ducussiou upon the grasses, forest re serves and pasture lands of our state. Mr. Minto ia an old pioneer who lias engaged extensively in farming and sheep-raising in both Eastern and West ern Oregon for manv years, and from leginuing to end his speech was a rich und of information to sheep-raisers. Mr. Minto condemns tho act of the United States court in attempting to prosecute sheepmen for running their flocks on the Cascade reserve, and on the other hand cautioned sheepmen to exorcise euro so aa not to start forest fi.-es during the summer. Considering tlio advanced age of Mr. Minto, he is a very lucid speaker, and on account of his varied experience he possesses a Btore of practical knowledge on nearly every subject of interest to sheepmen. After Mr. Mlnto's speoch tho orches tra gave a selection, followed by the Kin ross quartet, or, as it is called in Port land, the Temple Quartet, which sang so beautifully that Uiey were compelled to answer an enthusiastic encore. In deed, so harmonious is their music that Dalles people, as well as the delegates, esteem it a great privilege to hear them. President George O. Blakelev then introduced A. R. Leckerby of North Yakima, wjio gave an interesting dis cussion of tho Btibject "Grasses of the Pacific Northwest." Mr. Leckerby is certainly an expert on this subject, as lie bus made a life study of the same and ia familiar with about 3000 different kinds of grass. lie made many valua ble suggestions aa to tho kinds of grasses that do best in diflereut parts of this country, and recomnionded every farmer and sheepman to experiment with dif ferent varieties in bis locality. At the close of his speech ho invited anyone to ask any questions on too subject, that might occur to him, and au intense ly interesting discussion then fol lowed. Then all wore iuvited to send in written questions, which were answered at this morning's session. The quartet club again sang, and also responded to an encore with a pretty good night song.

Tho morning session opened shortly after 10 o'clock, and after the house was called to order Profeseor French, of the Corvallis Agricultural College, was chosen president and Charles Dietzel of this place secretary. The questions which had been sent in on the subject of grasses were answered, nfter which Professor French made a short address on the results obtained at the experiment station at Corvallia. Hon. T. C. Powers, state veterinary of Moutana, took the pluttorm and held the same for over an hour discussing the diseases of Bheep and the remedies to be used for the same. Mr. Powers is proficient in this line, as his talk proved, and this morning's session was by far the most interesting of any yet held, as well as the most instructive to those present. A number of Important questions wen asked and answered at this session which, with tiie others coming up dur ing the convention, will be published in a circular and mailed to anyone desir ing a copy. AFTEltNOO.V HUSSION. The afternoon session was opened bv the Temple Quartet, which again de lighted the audience by singing "'The Night Is Still." Prof. John A. Craig of Iowa, who is acknowledged to be the largest sheep- raiser in tiie United States, related his expereneeof several years in buying and marketing sheep, and made valuable suggestions concerning the same. He advises sheep-raisers to secure varieties well adapted to tiie climates and otlier conditions of the sections in which they live, and proved by his arguments that there ure varieties of sheep that will thrive in almost any climate. He also spoke at length on the subject of feeding sheep for market, and stated the kinds which command the highest prices in the Chicago markets. He spoke on the qualities of wool and the climatic effects on the different varieties. His prompt reply to all questions showed too plainly that he was a master of his subject, and his suggestions will prove of great value to Bheep men in general. C. S. Archer, of the Temple Quartet, favored tho audience with a solo, which was followed by the singiugof "Rosebud Fair" by the Temple Quartet. I The session was. concluded by a speech on diseases of eheep, principally scab, land the means of ctirlng the same, by F. O. Powers, state veterinary Montana. The subject was thoroughly and satis factorily discussed. The question of tho destruction of sheet,) by wolves and coyotes also came up for discuselon. President French made a few con cluding remarks, and ufter the singing by the quartet, those attending repaired to the Commercial Club to transact business in connection with the con ventlon.
