Baker City, July 14. Baker county
wool fell upon a poor market In this
city, when at the Hlackburn & Brcck
warehouse the aheeptnen offered their
clips to the highest bidder. Sealed
bids were used In the attempted sales,
but In spite of the large quantity of
fered and the quality of the wool,
which the local men claim Is better
than anything offered for some time
past, there was nothing doing In the
market this morning.
Buyers offered from 18', 4 to 19V4
cents for the wool shown but found
no takers. The bids wore not spirited
because of the unstable market In
the east, and but a few of 10 buyers
present were Interested In the bidding.
It was stated by one of the buyers
who was not active, that more than
half of them had received wires from
their houses to keep out of the mar
ket today.
Offers made jvoro refused one af
ter another during the entire sale,
and every bid was rejected during the
morning, not a pound changing hands.
The sellers for the most part were
disgusted with the offers, and up to
noon held back, holding out. It was
confidently stated, for 20 cents.
There were nbout 700,000 pounds
of wool In Baker today, not quite half
of the amount In linker county. This
was divided up, the bulk being In the
Blackburn & Breck warehouse, while
Miles Lee and others united In a con
siderable offering, and the Heilncrs
also hud some woo on hands.

The organization of the Umattllar
County Agricultural Fair association
which was begun over a year ago, was
completed at a mass meeting held1 at
the Commercial association parlors
last evening.
In pursuance to a call Issued by s
committee consisting of Mayor James
A. Fee. J. W. Maloney. G. M. Rice ana
W. L. Thompson, a meeting was held
last evening, the purpose of which
was to perfect the organization form
ed shortly after the bill creating ths
Third Eastern Oregon District Agri
cultural Fair association, comprising
Umatilla and Morrow counties, was
passed by the Oregon legislature. This
committee was appointed at that tim
to have direction of the organization,
and owing to the fact that the Lewis
and Clark fair was held last year, the
association postponed action until
later.
The association wa9 formally
launched last evening. Leon Cohen,
president of the Commercial associa
tion, was elected president and H. C
Willis secretary of the association,
and after a discussion of the various
phases of the matter three members
of the commission authorized by the
bill were elected as follows: Leon
Cohen, C. E. Roosevelt and Le
Teutsch.
Governor Chamberlain has already
appointed three members of the com
mission, consisting of George A. Hart
man and Frank Frazler, of this comi
ty, and W. O. Minor, of Heppner.
Morrow county will organise at once
and elect one member of the com
mission, and the fair board will then
be composed of the three members
elected by the Umatilla county asso
ciation, one by the Morrow county
association and the three appointed,
by the governor. .
Plans for the fair will be left en
tirely with this commission which w!U
noin a meeting Immediately an& after'
organizing will take up the matter of'
erecting a pavilion, advertising the faiy
and other details necessary to Us
success.

In addition to the pavilion would af

The general plan of raising fund

entirely with the commission but It
Is probable that stock sulscrlptIons;

it is believed a long term lease can
