OWL TEA HOUSE X 14-QTJART GRANITE DISH PAN A DEADLOCK EXISTS SHEEPMEN ASK MORE THAN BUYERS WILL PAY. They Are Expected to Get Together In a Month or so, as the Yearlings Must Be Gotten Rid of After Sliear Ing A Good Profit la In Sight for the Growers Buyers Are Somewhat , "Leery" of Chicago Prospects. Just at present there Is a deadlock on between sheepmen and buyers, and in consequence no sales are now being made. Owing to the present high price of mutton In the Chicago market, local growers are not willing to contract for a sale after shearing unless they be given a figure which the buyers say cannot be offered. In speaking of the situation today. H. L. Stephens, of the firm of Hunter & Stephens, said that mixed yearlings were now being held at all the way from 2 to 12.60 per head, to be de livered after shearing. This is an advance of 75 cents over the price paid last year. The yearlings for which $2 to J2.60 is 'now wanted, were purchased last fall at prices ranging from $1.60 to $1.75. Thus It will be seen ,that the growers will derive a good profit from the growth, aside from the 11.25 to $1.50 to be made from the wool clip. There are many stockmen who are not situated so as to run sheep through the summer, and so they make a business of buying lambs in the fall, keeping them over winter and selling them after shearing. This year those who have done this will reap good profits, for everything points to good prices for both wool and sheep. The present deadlock In the mar ket cannot continue long, for many ..sheep, especially yearlings, must be sold after shearing and the growers wish to Save their contracts made at least a few weeks before shearing. Consequently, within a month the two sides will doubtless get together and sales will be made. According to Mr. Stephens It costs $1 a head to summer sheep and de liver them at the stock yards next fall. When this expense is added to the price that is now wanted by Ifrowers, the sum becomes between $3 and S3.50. This, according to Mr. Stephens, means that in order to come out right the feeder would have to receive seven cents In the Chicago market for his mutton next fall While that price is now being paid. It Is something unusual, and buyers Krfr4?4 Check the Cough ' Coughs go from bad to worse. ' There Is grave danger In any case. Do not neglect. Keep a , bottle of our F.&S.

WHEAT DAMAGE IS SLIGHT. R. M. O'Brien Returns From a Tour of the County and Finds the Dam age In Small Spots. "Excepting a few high knolls where the snow had blown away, the wheat crop of Umatilla county is not serl ously damaged," said R. M. O'Brien, the well known farmer to the East Oregonlan today. Reports of great damage always gain publicity in a matter of this kind, before the farmers can really ascer tain the truth of the matter, and Mr. O'Brien says that a close Inspection of many wheat fields convinces him that the damage In the Athena. Ad ams, Weston and Fulton districts is very slight. In the Helix district and in the light-soil districts northwest of this city, where the ground was bare and the wheat roots exposed more or less, there will be some loss, but not enough to cause any reseedlng to mention. He Is pleased to note the advanced condition of many of the crops, and hopes for another crop equally as large. If not larger than last year. Ileal Estate Transfers. J. P. McMInn to Mollle M.

Nat Webb passed through the city from Walla Walla to Heppner this morning, and says that a large per centage of the wheat in the Walla Walla district is damaged by the freexe, and will be reseeded. Since the ground has thawed out, the effect of the freeze is seen and many of the fields have turned yellow, show ing that the roots of the plants are dead. Reseedlng will begin as soon as It is possible to use a disc on the fields. Judge S. A. Lowell In Eugene. Judge S. A.

OomaseNtel National Bank of PENDLETON E LOCATION OK GRAND GUARDIAN'S OFFICE. The Fewer Changes In tiocailon of Headquarters tlie Better There Are 19 Regiments of the Uniform 1 Rank of Woodmen of the World In the Nine States Comprising tiie Pacific Jurisdiction New Regi ment at Cottage Grove. One of the advantages that Pendle ton has In the effort being made to locate Uie Woodcraft headquarters, is the fact thut the grand guardian's of fice has been here during the past term. Such is the opinion of W. E. Rapsou, major general of the Wood man uniform rank for the depart ment of the West. Mr. Rupson is al so of the belief that the fewer changes that are mude in the locution of lodge headquarters the better. Although Mr. Kapson is prohibited by his po sition, from taking any side in the struggle for the heudquarters, he was willing to say this much In favor of Pendleton. Major General Rupson Is on a tour of inspection of the various compa nies of the uniform rank in the nine states constituting the Pacific juris diction of the order. There are 19 regiments of the rank within the jur isdiction, three of them being in Or egon. Within a short time a fourth regiment is to be formed at Cottage Grove, in which all companies south of Salem will be Included. The brig adier general for Oregon is J. C. Jones, of Portland. At the Salem fair an encumpment of the Woodmen Uniform Rank was held at which 750 companies partici pated. At the Lewis and Clark fair one day, August 5, will be given up to them. Great preparations are now being made for the grand convention that is to be held at Los Angeles in April. The Oregon regiment will leave Portland by special trnln on April 12. and on the road will stop at Sun Francisco and Santa Cruz, ar riving at Los Angeles on April 17, the opening day of the convention. Mr. Rapson left thlH morning for Walla Walla, where he will meet with the local company tonight. From there he goes to Spokane. ' WANTED A HUSBAND. New Line of Advertising Apiicarx in tlie East Oregoniuii. Perhaps the first matrimonial want advertisement ever carried in a Pen dleton newspaper, is now running in the East Oregonlan classified column. A comely middle-aged woman, who has led an active business life, now desires to settle down und live at home, and having no male compan ion, has advertised for one, in these columns. If she falls to land a good man, suited to her standards, it will be the first failure reported from the classified advertisements In this pa per. There are dozens of waiting bach elors und widowers In the vicinity of Pendleton, who will doubtless answer this meek appeal and who will come from their seclusion long enough to take a survey of her at least. If not to bask in the sunlight of her acquaint ance. The East Oregonlan would gladly publish a list of the names of eligi ble bachelors and widowers, within hulling distance, but this would place them in the lime light, and make them subject to Innumerable annoy ances and cause them to expose their bashfulness to the vulgar gaze of the public, so they will be spared. This woman is not particular whether she secures a sheep ranch, a wheat farm or n stock of merchan dise, as an appurtenance to the man she chooses. She advertises for a "man of means," and makes few other distinctions. COULD NOT IDENTIFY REMAINS. Mrs. Enslcy, of Cambridge. Idaho. Makes tlie Attempt. Last night G. W. Farmer, coroner from Cambridge. Idaho, and a Mrs. Ensley, arrived from Umatilla. They came down: from Idaho for the pur pose of Investigating the unknown dead man .found near Umatilla a week ago. After first learning the facts surrounding the finding of the body from the people at Umatilla. Mr. Farmer"" wired Coroner Henderson that they would arrive In the even- Ving to Inspect the clothing found with the dead man. ' A man named Ensley, husband of the woman who was here lost night, disappeared last October while on the road from The Dalles to Idaho. From the circumstances surrounding the case It was thought that the man found might prove to be the lost husband. The body was exhumed last night and the clothing ahown Mrs. Ensley, but It Is her belief that the body Is not that of her missing husband. 34 HOUSES ARE QUARANTINED. Little Trouble Is Encountered Enforc ing Quarantine. This morning another case of scar let fever was reported, the patient being Rebecca Carlisle, living at 719 College street. According to Special Quarantine Officer G. T. Meeker, there are now 24 houses quarantined for scarlet fe ver, but that there are several cases In some of the houses. The house In which the little child mentioned has the diphtheria was already quar antined for scarlet fever, and no new flag has been placed on the house. Besides the scarlet fever and dlph- rla cases there are four houses under quarantine for measles and mumps. Hut little trouble Is encountered by Officer Meeker In enforcing the quarantine. According to him reports ure often made of the violation of the rules, bin when the cases are inves tigated tbey are found to be untrue. The quarantine on the residence of Ous La Fountalne was raised yester day, and It Is expected that several more will be released today. Before the flag Is taken down it is necessary for the house to be fumigated, after which the attending physician noti fies the quarantine officer, who re moves the placard. WILL BEGIN SHEARING BUCKS. .1. E. Smith Company Has 3000 Near Pilot Rock. Within a day or two J. E. Smith will commence the shearing of hVi hocks which are now at his ranch near Pilot Rock. A private crew has been made up for the purpose, ana the men will be paid eight cents per hpad for the shearing. There are 2000 bucks in the band all being young Delaines. In the estimation or Mr. Smith, the clip will run from 10 ti. 12 nounds per head, a good clip for young stock. A higher price Is paid for shearing bucks than for stock sheep. fakers Are Advertised. Twi, smooth fakers, who visited Pendleton recently and made partial arrangements to issue several regis ters, official programs and other printed matter, have been advertised by Walla Walla printing concerns. The names given by the frauds while In this cltv were R. H. Keene and K.. S. Pennington. They claimed to be practical printers and partially clos ed a deal with F. X. Schempp, of this pitv in rio a laro-e amount of Drlnt- ing. They have defrauded several neiinle in Walla Walla und Eastern Oregon towns are warned against them. No Court In Sexslon. owing to the hodllday no courts were in session today. In the record er's court the holiday was unneces sary, for no one was run In lust night, and consequently no session would have been necessary had It not have been a holiday. On a legul holiday the only court business that can be done Is to receive the verdict of a jury that was already out previous to the holiday. PIuiim for Second Floor. Plans are now being drawn by Ar chltect Troutman for the second floor of the Schmidt building. The floor 1h to be devoted entirely to office pur poses, mid will be divided Into 18 rooms.
