All Indications Point to a Big Clip In Morrow and Umatilla Counties Good Prices Will Be Paid. Hoppr-er, Or., Fqb. 27. Already 500,000 pounds of wool have been bought up In tho Sand Hollow coun try, as the Columbia River basin ls called, by one firm alone, while shear ing operations nre still a month away at the earliest. This firm, however. Is about tho only one In the field so far. It ls buying for scouring pur poses. At this nrly stage 9 to 10 cents ls being paid for tho somewhat sandy Northern Morrow wool, a figure that nugurs well for the prices later on In tho season, and which compares very favorably with the corresponding price last year. The lighter wools of the country, south of Heppner, will hrlng a higher price because the quality Is somewhat finer, and the character cleaner. On a basis of weight the fleeces net nlmost equally the same In money. In both Morrow and Umatilla the clip will be first-class this season, and the aggregate yield ot the two counties, which are supposed to con tain about 400.000 sheep, will prob ably not fall much short of Inst sea son. If any. Sheep ln these counties have not suffered any very severe hardships this winter, as the flocks of some other counties have been sub jected to. and the clip will be bene fited accordingly, both In weight and quality. The system of competitive bidding, as Inaugurated last year, will again be in vogue with its numerous attend ant buyers from big Atlantic firms, and the consequent better prices for the producer. The Umatilla County Association of Sheepmen will meet some time next month to arrange matters pertaining to the pooling of individual clips, and the Morrow as sociation will also have a meeting soon. Sales will be held at Pendle ton, Heppner, The Dalles, Shnniko, Prlnevllle and other noted sheep cen ters. Sheepmen say the closed bid system Is the best thing the wool growers of Eastern Oregon ever struck.
