Baker City, June C Now that tho
shearing of sheep Is well under way
in all parts of the country, tho ware
houses in Baker City are rapidly be
ing filled with fine fleeces. It is said
by those who are good judges that
this season's clip in Baker county sur
passes in quality any wool produced
here in a long tlmo paBt. The poor
pasturage and long winter which af
fected tho sheep considerably did not
deteriorate the quality of wool and
the Increased number of sheep will
make the output this year about as
largo as it was last season. This es
timate is given by experienced and
posted sheep and wool men and It If
believed that it will bo found about
correct.

of congratulation wero received from
her English relatives and from tho
various other courts of Europe. Many
rumors to tho contrary notwithstand
ing, it is semi-olticlnlly stated that
her majesty Is enjoying good health.
Much uneasiness Is felt, however,
over tho condition of the czar, whoso
depression of spirits has lately been
accentuated by tho Kishlneff disturb
ances. His ailment, as Is well known,
is more of the mind than of the body
and little hope is held out of any
marked Improvement In his condition.
