Gwlnn, socretary of the Ore gon Woolgrowers' Asoclatlon, depart ed this morning for Shanlko to at tend the annual meetlpg of the organ ization. The woolgrowers will be In session tomorrow and Wednesday. "I do not know of any special work to come before the body," said Mr. Gwlnn. One never knows before hand Just what mutters are to be brought forth for ' consideration. I know of no state legislation that the association Is In position to place be fore the lawmakers." The annual election of officers will take place at the coming meeting. Douglas Belts, of Pilot Rock, Is the present head of the association, house this morning by "Skipper Hicks, was the culmination of a 24 hours' debauch with his pal, Mike Gratz, Jr., during which time the two engaged In a desperate fight with Tom Shannon, a gambler, and left the latter ba'dly worsted. Hicks and Gratz were arrested soon after the shooting and are in the city Jail, too drunk to appear In court. Just what charge will be booked against them Is not yet known. Gratz and the "Skipper" became Involved In a quarrel with Shannon Sunday morning in Baker & Garri son's saloon. In the fight that fol lowed, Shannon laid Hicks out with a blow on tne tempie, ana woo pro ceeding to finish the Job, when Gratz attacked him, and when the men were parted Shannon was uncon scious. Evidently bent upon ending the fight for all time, Hicks and Gratz armed themselves thla morning with two lurge revolvers and started on a man hurt. The next heard of the men was when half a dozen pistol shots rang out, and when the startled crowd rushed Into the room where Hicks und Oratz were, the former was standing In the haze of gunpow der smoke, flourishing a bg Colt's revolver over his head. Officer O. C. Cauffman arrested the two and placed them In Jail. A second gun was found outside the window,- where Gratz declared he threw It. Hicks and Gratz arc both former convicts, and have been before the local courts upon several occasions. Hicks served one term in the Oregon penitentiary. for malicious destruction of property. Gratz was In Folsom, it is alleged, for the murder of a Chinese. SOLD ltf.OOO LAMBS. .1. K. Smith Co. Scnda Shrojiwhlro Grades to Colonulo.

Smith Insists and has held for the past sev eral years to be the most profitable strain for the mutton market. The company realized J1.76 per head for these lambs.

The Increase In attendance Is par ticularly noticeable in the primary grades. Two, and perhaps three rooms will be required to take care of the little ones. DEATH OF A TEACIIKH.

Invention of u Former Pendleton Mun Promises to Become Useful. W. H. Zehrung came up Saturday from Portland, where he Is employed In the roadmnster's department of the O. R. &. N, and before returning ex plained to a number of persons the merits of an Invention of his own contrivance. It In called the "Midget Tabulator," and Is a CO cent substi tute for a $20 tabulator for u type, writer, und consists simply of bits of copper upon which are Impressed a scale of figures which perform tho functions of a guide for the Index which follows the numeral bar on the machine. To all Intents und purposes this simple contrivance, which takes a few seconds to slip on and need not be taken off ut ull, serves all the purposes of a complicated tabulator, Mr. Zehrung has been for years a practical typewriter operator, contin ually occupied In writing tables, und thus has the fullest pructlcal know! edge of the needs In the case, so there Is nothing theoretical about tho de vice, which Is as definitely practical as anything' cuu possibly be. Mr. Zehrung last Saturday sold 34 sets In one Portland business college one for every typewriter In the school, which was not alreudy equip ped with a tabulator. NEW GRAIN HATE. O. Jt. & N.

Piirllunil .Man Describes Method In the Foothill District. C, A. Rhea of Portland, who lias jufU returned from Wallowa, county, with a band of horses he purchased nenr Lostlne, expresses himself as surprised at the development In Irri gation mnnlfest In the northeastern corner of Oregon, "They run their ditches high up- ulong thu hillsides," Mr. Rhea fcnys, "and I actually saw a 500-acro patch. of alfalfa composed of steep hills, mostly. I had supposed that low lying level land was necessary In Ir rigation, but these Wallowa people taught mo a different lesson. "They tap Wallowa lake 500 feet . above the town and lead the water along steep hillsides in big ditches wherever necessary. There Is no flooding of the land and the water Is simply allowed to seep on the roots of the nlfalfa In the simplest manner possible. "Of course, the soil of Wallowa Is of a more solid nature than that of the Eastern Oregon prairies, and so does not wash away so easily." .OCUKTS A PLAOUB IN KGYTTv Greul Anxiety Felt for the Yoim$f Crop. There Is every probability of the plague of locustH which has now des cended on Egypt proving a very seri ous one says a Cuiro correspondent of tho Ixmdon Dally Mall, Great an xiety is felt for the young cotton nnd other crops. The locusts first arrive In compara tively small numbers, but they multi ply very rapidly as soon as they reach the edge of cultivation. Within 10 days the young liibects, though still wingless, advance in a solid pha lanx, sometimes two or three feet deep anil several miles In length, It Is essential that nt thlB stage they should be destroyed, ns It would be Impossible to check the ravages of flying locusts. The mehod adopted during the last visltution, that of 1890, wns to dig deep trenches, sometimes miles In length, between which nnd the ad vancing swarm huge heups of straw were laid and fired. Any locusts which succeeded In escuplng the flames and umoko fell Into tho trenches, where they were destroyed by natives underthe supervision of English Instructors. "iVls" a providen tial habit of young locusts never to turn back or usfde when once start ed, no matter what obstucles are put In their way.
