Grant County News. la ) RALES DAYS SAVED $350,000 TO OREGON SHEEPMEN. Rohrrt Ko)-s IVncidem, and H. C. Hooper Secretary of Hm Oregon Woolcrowcrs' A-UH'lmloM Meeting Jnut Held in Portland Wan Highly Profitable J tin leg IL Gwinn, Sec retary of the. National livestock Association, Was Present and De livered an Able Addrem. The fact that unionism pays. In an Industrial sense, was never more thrtllingly exhibited than in the re ports made public at the meeting of the Oregon Woolprowers" asaociution. which has Just adjourned In Portland, after an interesting session. It was shown by facts and figures from wool sales, that the wool pools and sales days inaugurated by the as sociation three years ago, and observ ed In all parts of Oregon since then, this year, in the sales of the 1905 wool crop, saved to Oregon woolgrowers. the neat sum of $350,000 In advance prices brought about by holding the bulk of the wool In the pool. For this reason the association is stronger now than ever before and while the attendance at the meeting which was held at the American Inn for two days this week, was very light, yet letters of deep interest were received from members in all parts of the state urging a continuation of the wise and husiness-llke policy which has been so successful in the past. Robert Keys, of Mitchell. Wheeler county, was elected president In place of Douglas Belts, of this county, who has served the association ably and diligently as president since its In fancy. H. C. Rooper, of Antelope, Crook county, was elected secretary in place of James H. Gwinn, who re signed to become secretary of the Na tional Livestock association last June. Mr. Gwinn was present at the meet ing and delivered an able address on the outlook of the wool and sheep markets and the conditions that now face the American grower. From facts produced at the meet ing the wool sales days will be sacred ly observed by more sheepmen next year than ever before and the pros pects for higher prices than ever be fore paid, are now excellent, as buy ers in Colorado. Wyoming, New Mex ico, Nevada and Utah have already made efforts to contract at 25 cents, offering to pay half down now. Spunked an Earthquake1. "I tried to spank an earthquake once," said a woman who had spent several years In Mexico. "It was boil ing hot, and like everyone else, I took a siesta In the middle of the day. I wanted my two youngsters to take It with mPi as I wished to Keep them in out of the sun. but they were not al ways sleepy. One day they had been particularly obstreperous, rousing me from my nap two or three times. The last time I said to them: The next one that wakes me up will get punish ed." I dropped off again, but in a few minutes was aroused by a cata clysm. It seemed. I opened my eyes and saw a washstand turned over, the pitcher and bowl broken and Ed standing by with a scared look on his face, which seemed to plainly pro claim guilt. I sprang up, caught him in one hand. and. with a slipper in the other had him well spanked before his howls communicated to me the fact that I was trying to spank an earth quake." Mobile Register. Itnilt lira House In Yakima. Albert Eugene Llllle, one of the pio r.eers of Taklma county, died at his residence in Seattle on Friday, Sep tember 13, 1905. at 5:30 a. m., aged F2 years and 26 days. Mr. Llllle came to the Taklma val ley 30 years ago and for a number of years operated a stage line between Taklma City and The Dalles. In the whiter of 18S4. when the Northern Pacific railroad was finished to this place, he built the first house In North Yakima. This was known as the "Llllle House." and is still standing at the corner of Front and Chestnut streets. Mr. Lillle was In the hotel business here for a number of years afterward. North Yakima Republic. Twin Fall ItraiH-h Opened. The Twin Falls branch of the Ore gon Short Line was formally turned over to the operating department by the engineering department yesterday morning, and a regular train service has been Inaugurated. A definite schedule has not yet bun officially announced, but the Pocatello Advanco is authority for the statement that one passenger train per day will be run on th- new branch from there, leav ing at 7:15 a. m., returning In the evening. The Boise agent of the Short Line has not received a time card. Freight trains will be run from Minidoka as at present. Boise States man. K-t IliH Hunk on Fire. Morose and sullen because of fan cied ill treatment Ole Brlggs. who Is serving a sentence In the county Jail for vagrancy, Wednesday evening set fire to the bedding In his cell, and was nearly suffocated from smoke be fore his predicament was discovered and he was dragged from the pile of smouldering blankets. Urlggs Is a confirmed "dope" fiend of the most pronounced variety, and ever since his Incarceration he has de manded morphine Injections which would dull his cares and banish trou bles for a time. He was cared for by Sheriff Moseley and his force, as well as by County Physician Lewis, being given every treatment possible to break him of his habit. Itolse States man. Karly IVoxtH In Grant. A good deal of damage resulted from the frosts in several localities, and cucumber and pumpkin vines were entirely destroyed in a few places. Other vines, in the same field, and growing side by side, show but little signs of the cold snap, and COSTLY DISHES. Dlalna Services of Solid Gold mm 4 Dishes of Rare China. I happened to be In Tiffany's and asked one of the head men If It Is true that people really eat off gold plates. He smiled and, turning to a young man, said, "Bring me an after dinner coffee set." And presently the young man return ed with a small trny holding throe small pieces. They were gracefully fashioned and looked like gold. And the tray looked like gold. "What do you think they are?" asked the head man. "Silver gilt," I suggested. "Hold It," he said and put the serv ice in my hands. "It's heavy," said I, lint It can't In solid gold." "That's what it is," he Assured me and pointed to the mark. "These four pieces the tray, the coffeepot, the cream pitcher aud tlie sugar bowl are eighteen carat gold, solid. The price Is $3,000." Not only is It true that a number of millionaires in America own plates of solid gold or silver gilt (which latter Is considered good enough for Euro pean royalty), but there are rich fam ilies who boast sets of china costing from $3,000 to $5,000 a dozen, so that the breaking of a single plate means the loss of several hundred dollars. Success. LAPLAND BABIES. Far Their First Few Month They Live la Wicker Baskets. Little Laplanders spend the first few months of their existence in baskets of wlckerwork provided at the top with a conical framework too close for the ba by to fall through and yet giving the Infant plenty of light and air. Before commencing her work for the day the Lapp mother places her child In the basket aud hangs It on the lirnli of some nearby tree, occupation being found for the little one by stringing toys upon a cord passed across the top of the basket! Thus provided, the child spends the entire day In the open nnd yet at the same time la guarded from the troubles and dangers of outdoor child life In other countries. The basket Idea curiously parallels the Indian idea of strapping the pa poose Into a carrying case, but the Lapp baby has the advantage over Its Indian fellow In that Its limbs arc uo conflned and a certain amount of liber ty of movement is afforded. The child Is carried from place to place In the same basket, the cord by which It Is attached to a tree being slung over the shoulder. A DIFFERENCE IN NAMES. Same Orders That Pnssled the Sew York Fish Dealer. The fish market man glanced at the retreating flgnre of a lean, lank cua tomer and remarked: "I wish that fel low would learn to talk United States. He comes in here and says, 'Have you any squlteague? and after awhile I find out be wants weakflsb. Then one day be ordered a horse mackerel, and I bad to send for a dictionary before I found out that he wanted blueUsh. Where did he come from? New Eng land, he suys, and calls things by the names they do down there. "Strange that a few miles should make such a difference in fish names. Why, when he wants a blacktlsh he calls for tautaug and orders quabuags when be wants clams. He Is almost as bad as an Englishman who came Into a meat market where I worked once and asked ns If we had any sa vory duck. This Is no poultry shop,' said I. 'I know It,' replied be. Then why do you ask for dock? said 1. What do you suppose be wanted? Nothing In the world but hog's pluck, or pig's liver, as the overretlned call It." New York Press. Concerning- SeaslrkneM. Two congressmen, discussing the dis comforts of travel, happened to branch off on to the subject of seasickness. One of them said: 'Talk about seasickness, the fellow that traveled with me on my last Euro pean trip beat anything I ever met In all of my experience before. I tried all sorts of remedies on him, but without avail. He kept repeating, 'Oh, I am so sick, I am so sick.' "Finally I cried out, 'Can't you keep anything on yonr stomach? " 'Only my hands, Tom, only my bands.' " Harper's Weekly. Matrlmonr and TheolosjJ. Matrimony should end all doctrinal quibbles. If the man happen to be born a pagan and the woman some thing else, let them compromise their differences and become, both of them, of the same faith. Let them cast lots If there be no other way.

Those English verbs "doff" and "don" are merely contractions of "do off" and "do on." Similarly to "dup," which means to "open" a door in Shakespeare, is to "do up"-to lift the latch. Hot Thero Yet.
