The song service and the after sorvice of prayer and testimony were epeolally enjoyable and profitable. This --OntB of Nixt Martini;. About one hundred wool-growers of ftOregon held a meeting this morning in jthe rooms of the Commercial club, and discussed various subjects of interest to jwool-grovvera throughout the state. ' Among tho resolutions passed one of thanks to tho members of the D. C. & A. C. was tendered for the nee of the club rooms and the kind treatment re ceived ut the hands of its members dur ing the meeting of Wool-Grower's As sociation. The question of exterminating wolves, coyotes and other animals eo trouble eotne to sheep-raisers was discussed and a committee appointed to attend to the matter of bounties. The Cascade reserve question was also tpoken of mid a committee appointed to 'arrange matters concerning the same. Action will also be taken by the associa tion to see that all sheep in the state are kept free from scab and other diseases. The necessity of such an organization as this has long been felt by the wool growers of Oregon, and now that it ia at last organized the woolmeu feel enthu siastic and will do everything possible to make it u successful organization. Anyone in this state interested' in wool-growing can join the association in the payment of fifty cents, which ia the annual dues. A meeting will be held here on June 23, 1898, and it is hoped that all Oregon wool-growers will attend, and by their support make it easier for the as sociation to accomplish the important ends for which it was organized.

The Pacific Northwest Wool-Grower's Association had a very happy termina tion at the closing session which was held last evening, and was enjoyed throughout by the large crowd which filled the Vogt Opera to its utmost capa city. The session was opened by a well-rendered selection by the orchestra, which was followed by the singing of "liosebud Fair" by the Temple Quartet, and they received the usual hearty encore. As all of the questions of importance had already been discussed, there were a few of a more humorous nature left over for last evening's meeting. Here are some of them : "Does scab ell'ect an hydraulic ram?" This was answered by Fred Young. "What ia home without a mother-in-law?" This waB to be answered by Fred W. Wilson, but a be fa'ilt"d to appear, the mystery is still unsolved. "Does the asphalt pavements of The Dalles effect the health of its inhabi tants?" This was anaweied by Mayor Nolan. "How to prevent a hen from setting?" Thia was answered by Mr. Goodhue, of Salem, aud it created considerable laughter. "Does the circulation of the War Cry in this city effect tlio-advertising in Tin: Chkonici.e?" This important question could not be answeied without deliber ate consideration, and waa put oil' until the next meeting. The questf.on whether it was deemed prudent to plant thisles in our lawns, was very ably discussed by Mr. A. It. Leckerby, of North Yalima. The quartet made a decided hit when, in response to an encore they sang a parody on "Hot Time in Old Town," iu which they introduced a number of local hits, and were called back again and again. The illustrated lecture by Prof. French, of the agricultural college at Corvallis, Oregon, was very interesting, and a number of splendid views were shown. Among other pictures was that of Presi dent George Blakeley of the Comercial club, which was greeted with applause, as was the picture of those who wc-ro present at the Wool-Grower's conven tion. The session was closed by Prof. Per not's illustrated talk on pests which affect the fruit in Oregon. Chairman FrenchNlieu thanked the audience and dedared the meeting of the Pacific Northwest Wool-Gi otters' Association closed.
