And the ele phono wire is about five Inches thick and is breaking down all the rotten posts and swagging the line till it is dangerous in places. We tried to have a Chinook today, but It failed.

KEHLER & SON A Big Grocery In a Small Room Asa Moore, of Milton, Tells of His Visit to Old Home In Missouri. Asa Moore, a pioneer farmer of Mil ton, who crossed the plains from Cam eron, Mo., in 1879, and settled in Uma tilla county, has just returned from a .five-weeks' vlst to his old home."' Mr. Moore has lived continuously in Oils county since his arrival here in 79, and this is his first visit East. He reports crops good in that sec tion of the country, prices for products very high and farmers In a most pros- perous condition. So many changes have taken place that he says he would not have known the country. He says the farms are highly improv ed, roads kept in much beter condi tion than in this country, and while the farmers do not own such large tracs of land as here, Its state of pro ductiveness Is very high. He says at points on the Union Pa cific, during the trip East, the trains had to be abandoned by the engine that starteJ out of the terminals, and other engines picked up along the road to finish the run. Traffic is con gested and the west-bound passenger trains Into Denver are so heavily loaded that traveling Is exceedingly uncomfortable. While east, Mr. Moore also visited at Newton, Kan., and Pawnee county, Oklahoma, but In all his travels saw no spot as enticing as his Milton wheat farm in the shad ow of the Blue Mountains of Oregon, The Gordon-Shay Company Will Pre sent a High-Class Attraction Here. J. Saunders Gordon, of the Gordon Shay Grand Orcr-a Company, Is in the city today making arrangements for the appearance of his company at the Frazer next Tuesday, January 27 This company carries 50 people, their own orchestra and sconorv They will produce "11 Trovatore." erdPs masterpiece. In this civ. The Denver Times, of Denver, Col.,' nas me following :o say ot the com pany: ) "A new prima donna of unusual blilllancy, flashed across tho local opera firmament of Denver last nlcht. The city had previously heard of the successes ;nade abroad and In New York by Miss Rose Cecilia Shay. A lasclnating stage presence, a superb niczzo-soprano voice of exceptional Quality and finesers and a magnetic personality, are the attributes of the ne wprima donna. She was at her Hst in "Down by the Walls of Old Seville." The costumes ot the com pany were pretty, fresh and new. The chorus Is excellent and displayed nat- ural ability of high order. The seen-' cry was greatly above the average of that seen in like productions. "Taken In its entirety, the Gordan-I bnay company is one of the highest class aggregations that has appeared before a Denver audience this win ter." This company will appear in "H Trovatore" at the Frazer, Tuesday, January 27, II W 1 L CLIP POOLED WALLOWA COUNTY SHEEP MEN ENTER AGREEMENT. Will Not Sell Wool Before July 1 This Method Has Raised Price of Wool In Different Localities The Woolgrower Becomes Independent of the Buyers. The Wallowa County Woolgrowers' Association, at a meeting held In Joseph last Satur&ay, decided to pool the wool clip of 1903, and formally agreed not to sell a pound before July 1. This method of selling the Oregon wool clip has been in practice at The Dalles, Shanlko and other wool centers for a couple of years, with the beneficial result of increasing the price from one to three cents a pound. Under this method, buyers from the great wholesale and com mission houses appear at the point where the wool clip is held, at tho time specified by the woolgrowers, as the opening of the wool sale, and proceed to bid for the clip. The narket is open to all. The bidding becomes very spirited, the buyers vieing with each other in offering tho very highest notch the quality of the wool will justify. Tho owners of the wool and members of tho pool reserve tho right to reject $3.50 $3.50 I NT 1l THE J 903 GLORIA )J.D SHOE For Women AND YOUNG LADIES This Shoe is certainly the best value of all the Shoes sold in Pendleton. We claim the reputation oi having the best, and this is evidence. Any lad)' who has worn a pair will be glad to say a good word (or the Shoe. all bids and tho wool may be held indefinitely. This places the individ ual woolgrower boyond the caprice of the buyers. The wool that Is In cluded in tho pool is protected by the csociation lrom tho danger of a con certed "cut" in prices by brokers, and each individual sheepman who belong to the pool is independent of the cross-fiic plays of tho buyers. The great Wallowa county herds are either driven to tho shearing pens near Elgin or tho Wallowa bridge, 12 miles from the city, and tho clip is hauled to tho warehouses at that place. Heretofore), each man liaa fold his own clip and has fought tho battles ot tho market alone. Thcro has been 1.0 uniformity in prico and no good understanding among wool growers. Hercaftor the sheepmen of that county will folIoVv tho example of Crook and Wnsco in handling tholr output.

Montana, like Eastern Oregon, paid good bounties for the killing of the sleuth-like coyote at the behest of sheepowners, who lost a few mutton now and then made a meal of by coyotes. Now ft is found out that with the coyote almost exterminated the pestiferous Jackrabblt has in ci eased to tlin extent that they eat all the vegetation in sight, starving the sheep out. The coyote was man s best friend, but he did not know It. He almost lived off jackrabblts, a sheep now and then being but incl dental to his diet.
