The shearing of sheep has com menced, the buyers of wool are gath ering in Pendleton from all parts of the east and from the south and a few days more will see eastern Ore gon's wool season at Its height. From present Indications It will be one of the most Important and prosperous seasons the growers of wool in this state have ever enjoyed. Shearing has been In progress In the Arlington country for several days. Some growers have their clips ready for the market, others will finish up this week, but the great majority are Just getting ready to begin shearing. The Cunningham Sheep and Land company, one of the largest sheep companies in the state, will finish up this week, while the J. E. Smith com pany, another large concern, is In stalling the machinery for their shear ing plant and will be In full swing by the first of next week. Reports from all sections where any shearing at all has been done are to the effect that the fleeces are re- CASTOR I A For Infants &nd Children. Tfia Kind You Have Always Bought markably free from dirt this year, while the staple is fully up to the standard, being both long and firm. The condition of the market Is good and with the quality of the wool as good as any ever produced in eastern Oregon it is expected that the price's will be good. The buyers seem anxious to bid on the different clips, but so far' no sales have been reported. The sheepmen are very well satisfied with the condi tion of the market and unless prices better than those being offered at present are forthcoming It is .probable that a larger percentage of the crop will be held for sales days than was held last year. The general sentiment seems to prevail that 20 cents will be the ruling price, depending entirely on the quality. The dates for the public sales In Idaho and Oregon have finally been agreed upon by buyers and sellers, and the revised schedule of dates as it will now stand, is as follows: May 16 Mountain Home. May 18 Payette and Welser. May 20, Mldvale and Cambridge. . May 24 Pendleton. May 25 Echo. May 27 Pilot Rock. May 31 Heppner June 3 Mldvale and Cambridge. June 4 Payette and Weiser. June 7 Shaniko.

Harry De Wliult Tells of Distance) Ho TraveUxl Eight Yean Ago, i London. Harry de Wlndt, the , well-known explorer, has made the following statement on the subject of the doubt that has been cast In Am erica on some of the distances tra versed by Peary near the Pole: "Eight years ago I traveled with dog sleds over 1,500 miles of Arctic Ice between the Kolyma river and I Bering straits. Wa were generally four to eight miles out to sea and en countered, as a rule, very rough ice. ! On one occasion I did forty-four miles In one day, and on another forty live miles, witn light sleds but badly-fed dogs obtained from the Si berian coast. Of course our speed was often only ten miles a day, or even less, according to the height and dimensions of the Ice hummocks, but I thing it only fair to Peary that facta such as these should be known." Charles J. Ferguson, local attorney and former member of the Second Oregon Infantry, Is now the captain of Company L, third regiment O. N. G. At least he will be the captain as soon as the necessary formalities can be conducted. At a meeting of the members of the company held at the armory last night the guardsmen voted unani mously for Mr. Ferguson as captain and then they started an enthusiastic campaign for recruits for the com pany. At the outset of the meeting D. B. Bailey, retiring captain, took charge and he then turned the meet ing over to Captain M. S. Kern, who as a staff officer, conducted the. In formal election of captain. In response to a call for a speech after being made captain Mr. Fergu son spoke with much enthusiasm of the outlook for the company. He praised the guard as furnishing ex cellent training for young men and asked that every member of the com pany become busy at once securing recruits for the. company. He is an xious to secure some 30 or 40 new men at once and to make company L one of the best militia companies In the state. George Hartman, Jr., chairman of the Commercial association commit tee, and former first lieutenant in the Second Oregon, also made an enthusi astic talk and predicted success for the company. Captains Kern and Bailey did likewise. Before the meeting disbanded sev eral enlistments were taken last night and enlistment blanks were dis tributed among the men who prom ised to secure recruits for the company. It Is desired to get some 30 or more new men at once as It is now neces sary to enlist men by an early date In May or else the new men cannot go to camp. The encampment this year is to be at American Lake In August. E. L. McBroom, former manager of the Golden Rule hotel and more recently proprietoi of a farm near Ritter, has returned to Pendleton from an extended visit to Portland and Wheeler county points. He still claims this city as his home. County School Superintendent Wel les has returned from a visit to the school at Stanton station. Vanity outlives every other emotion In human character.
