For some years past, while still retaining ranch In terests, ho has engaged for tho most part In buying and selling. When ho raised exclusively ho built up a wldo reputation as a skillful bre.eder of tho finest sheep In Washington, Is a Mutton Country. That country Is more of a mutton country that a wool country, and the most popular and profitable combina tion animal is a cross of Shropshtres and Lincotns on tho "niitlvo stock" of grade Merinos. In spite of the fact that tho terri tory comprised of Klickitat, Skamania and Vaklnia counties Is more of a I mutton than' 11 wool country. Mr. Mc-!

Mr. McAlister Is not exactly coin muuicntlce when It comes to discuss ing the question of tho gradually di minishing range, although he Is posi tive In the expression that tho man who by a fortunate combination of conditions Is able "to command a rango that will not diminish, lias the "world by tho tail and tho down hill swing" for years to come. His heavy profits aro not to bo reaped within a very fow years, but eventually he has a big thing within his reach, by mere ly Improving the advantages which his rango will give him, In conjunc tion with Judicious breeding and other management.

Wives of Engineers Can Tell Their Husbands' Peculiar Whistle as the Train Nears the Terminal. Just ns a Umatilla farmer's wife knows-the bark of tho old watch dog afar, or can namo tho cow that bel lows over tho hill out of sight, just so do the wives of tho locomotive en gineers recognize tho whistle of their husband's engine, as lie shrieks n warning at tho whistling post out side of town. All tho whistles may ho keyed In tho same pitch nnd ho endowed with tho saino peculiar intonation, yet their fs some distinguishing mnrk, some .extra quuver of tho voice ot steam, some peculiar trill to the lin gering blast, thai is a signal of rec ognition for tho wife, who Immediate ly begins to look. for her husband af ter she hears that familiar, yet Inde finable warning. Some of tho engineers on tho O. It. 'Sc. N, give their whistles a peculiar sound by tightening them down a f.ow turns more than tho shop men set them, und In this way thoy mako a distinctly different sound, hut If there no different tone, there Is a way of saying "hollo" to tho ono who Is waiting, which will bo readily recog nized anil usually responded to with a warm supper, on your arrival at home.

"Tho wheat market Is booming at Wash tucna this season," said Mr. Ilassett to a reporter for tho Walla Walla Union, "and tho amount of wheat which will bo shipped from that point will exceed any year )n Ha history. Some estimates place tho amount that will bo marketed at Washtucna at a million bushels, but I think pos sibly a more conservative estimate would bo 800,000 bushels. "I hellovo tho entlr.o yield In tho Washtucna country will average 25 bushels to tho aero.

Mix kindness with reproof and rea son with authority. Of much speaking comet h repentance, but lu silence Is safety. The first step toward being wise is to kuow that thou art Ignorant. Envy not the appearance of happi ness In any man, for thou kuowest not his secret griefs. Indulge not thyself lu the passion of ungcr. It Is whetting a sword to wound thlno own breast. Consider and forget not thine own weakness, so shall thou pardon the fallings of others. The heart of the envious man Is gall and bitterness. The success of his neighbor breaketh bis rest. This instant Is thine. The next Is in the womb of futurity, and thou kuow est not what It may bring forth.
