OVERDDINGMUTTQ
HEACTTON IS LOOKUP FOR
Y SOME OF THE SHEEPMEN.

When nsked about tho probable
number of sheep In this county since
the heavy sites are for tho most part
over, the sheepmen say that tt will
be impossible to tell until after tho
sheep are all out of tho mountains,
which will not be sooner than the
first of October. Every sheepman
carefully counts his sheep when tho
.drive la made.
Oil account of the fine rains, the
mountain pasture was stimulated,
and water for drinking made nbun
dant, which did away with the neces
sity which at one tlmo It was
thought was confronted of getting
the sheep out of the mountains In a
hurry. In fact, the fall pasturage Is
so much better than usual that the
sheep will be kept in the mountains
until the last day that the approach
ing snows and cold of the higher al
titudes will allow.
In the opinion of James Hackett,
who Nhas been in the business con
tinuously In this county for 38 years,
there Is sure to be a reaction from
the present tendency to mutton,
though the reaction will not be real
ized In Its fullness before year after
next. Mr. Hackett sizes the situation
up as follows:
"It must be remembered that It
takes as much to raise a coarse
wooled mutton sheep as a fine wool
ed sheep. At the same time It can
not be controverted that the average
.coarse wooled sheep yields a fleece
that will average but six pounds In
stead of 10; further, that a drop In
mutton may be looked for about next
year, or at the farthest year after
next, as a reaction from the present
tendency to run to mutton. That of
course would mean a drop In mutton.
Then where are you at?
"I have on file applications for not
less than 1000 coarse wooled bucks
more than can be had that are of
good breeding. This 1000 head of
-bucks I could have sold right here In
this county were they to be had. The
"J&miind could have been filled by
shipping In it lot of itillnlals df flues
tlonable pedigree, sUcll as can be
found In such abundance In the
Ynkima country, but who wants to
fill up our flocks with such stuff and
their descendants?"
It Is a matter of common knowl
edge that, as one posted sheepman
says, "There are almost no young
ewes left in the county that have not
been sold, and the few that have not
been sold have as many buyers hang
ing around as there are herders and
camp tenders." This condition,
.coupled with the reluctance of the
average Umatilla county sheepman
to handle anything but registered
stock, almost practically compels the
Importation of many very fine sheep
In the near future and building up
the depleted flocks with the freshest
stock. As another sheepman de
clares, "If this condition Is properly
met with and handled, which It un
doubtedly will be, it will be greatly
to the advantage of the sheepmen di
rectly; at least of those who are
careful with their breeding: In other
words, do their best to keep up and
even Improve tho standard."

We nrrived "there Just before the

Tells Why "Alexander the Great"
Was a Failure '"Snlnmnibo" Is
K Route for New Orleans and
Will Close tho Season at Sun Fran
clico Mr. Wardo First Came to
Pendleton hi 188(1 Large Sale of
Tickets for Tonight's Performance.
;UiJt-f
"People when they go to a play,"
remarked Frederick Warde, the noted
actor, this morning, "want to see
something else besides canvas nnd
bright paint. Spectacular perform
ances are pleasing, hut when the
stage setting overshadows the piny,
it cannot be called i success from
tho critic's standpoint."
Mr. Wurde was discussing the rela
tive merits of "Salammbo," the pro
duction in which Miss Kntheryn Kid
der and he are starring this season,
with "Alexander the Great." In which
lie nppenred last year. " 'Alexander
tho ureat was a failure, he said.
"The staging was elaborate, but that
Is all one can say regarding It. There
Is no chance for emotional work.
" 'Salammbo' Is cleverly written,
and nllows of some very strong act
ing, especially In the third act. The
play Is a melodrama, pure and sim
ple, but It stands high above the
general run of performances of this
class. It shows the strong love of n
woman who Is willing to sacrifice nil
for those she holds dear, nnd It dem
onstrates the manhood that lies at the
bottom of the heart of an uncouth
barbarian. 'Salammbo' Is one of
these plays that will last."
Mr. Warde and Miss Kidder and
their company nrrived this morning
from Portland. They appear tonight
at the Frazer. The company leaves
tomorrow morning for Baker City.
Wardo and Kidder have been doubl
ing ncross the continent this season
In n zig-zag manner. They are en-
route now for New Orleans, nnd will
then recross the Southwest, nnd
close the season nt San Francisco.
Mr. Warde Is perhaps the most fa
miliar of the noted actors who come
to Pendleton. With very few excep
tions he has been In Pendleton once
every season since 1886. "During
last season," he said, "we were out
35 weeks, and during that time
traveled over 24,600 miles. We
played nightly nnd generally two
matinees a week, und sometimes on
Sunday nights.
"It becomes very tiresome and
monotonous, nnd it Is smnll wonder
that one does not always come up to
the expectations of his audience. It
Is difficult after a sleepless night and
a long, nerve-racking journey, to ap
pear fresh at a performance und cnll
up one's emotions."
The udvnnce sale for "Salammbo"
ut the Frazer box office today Is very
heavy, and a crowded house is anticipated.
Formerly of Arizona Men After Choice
Government Land.
Thomas Guhr and II. J. Wlsner of
Palmn, 111., arrived Saturday morn
ing, with their objective the recent
ly opened government land district in
the west-central portion of the coun
ty, where several of their friends
have located since last spring. They
wish to get hold of land that can be
easily Irrigated, or rather, that has
water enough within available dis
tance, and will, if they can find con
ditions aright, put in a system of
their own, tapping streams that have
not gotten far from the hills. Both
have had experience In irrigation In
Arizona.
CUNNINGHAM SHEEP.
lie Has Sold Very Few, Holding for
Advancing Market.
Charles Cunningham has sold very
few practically none of his sheep
ns yet, and It Is said that he has fair
prospects p.f realizing top prices for
Ills stock. Buyers are negotiating
with him now, with n prospect, so It
Is said, of buying several thousand
head very soon. According to the
present outlook Mr. Cunnlngnam,
who is a confirmed optimist, will
reap full Justification for Ills firm
ness In not selling earlier In the sea
son, and for Ills persistent prophecies
of advancing-prices for mutton sheep.
Four Helpers at Kauiela.
Owing to the Immense rush of bus
iness on the O. It. & N. four helper
engines have been put In service
there .again. These helpers will run
to Pendleton' to help trains out of

La Grande. One crew has been taken
from the regular passenger engine
service to help handle tho freight
business. More engine nud train
crews are now working out of La
Grande than ever worked since the
heyday of business In 188(5-9, while
the O. It. & X. was leased by the
Union Pacific.
lVospcetors Front Missouri,
Will George and family arrived yes
terday from Jopllu, Mo., nnd will In
vestigate the claims of Umatilla and
Walla Walla counties have upon
people who nro homeseekers. They
will return to Pendleton from Walln
Walla after a visit with friends
there, nnd spend some weeks herd
nnd perhaps definitely conclude to
locate. They came west with the In
tentlon of making their home In this
locality, and so far are highly pleas
ed with the town.
Three Thousand Cords or Wood Piled
R. R. Collins, of Knmela, was In
Pendleton this morning. Mr. Collins
declares that there nre 3000 cords of
wood plied up nt Knmela. "The wood
business," he says, "Is gradually leav
ing Meacham for Knmela, and there
has been twice as much fuel cut ut
the latter place this season than
there was last year,"

Drop In Timothy Hay.
The advent of now timothy hay
into the market brought a decided
drop In the price of that commodity
to the consumer. Whereas a week
ago the old timothy on hand brought
22 per ton, the new can be 'bought
for $19 per ton. On the other hand,
old nlfnlfn and wheat hay have risen
In price. From being quoted a Bliort
tlmo ago at 15 per ton straight for
either, they now bring $17 per ton
by tho ton, and $18 per ton "by the
