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

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

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.

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.

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?

bands.' " Harper's Weekly.
