the incident whore Christ was dining at

a woman, who wub n Binnor, cumo and
brake a costly alabuator box of ointment,
anointing his feet and wiping them with
tho hair of lior head. Slinon.m tho mean
time, was looking on wondering at her
andlclty and the needless expense,
when Christ reproached him with his
neglect, comparing with It her devotion.
Mr. Olapp drew from this a lesson of
the necessity of bringing to him our

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. Tuo program closed

MOItNINO SESSION.
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.
