SALES SHOW FINE
That n healthy demand exists for
fine wool breeding ranis is indicated
n the amount of business that has
been done hy the Cunningham Sheet
Co. .! thi' early weeks of the selling
season. A sale of 125 rams was made
last wecK to William Rettio of Fossil.
C reann.
The lunut "old are yearling Rain
houillcts, and the price at which the
deal was made was satisfactory to
both parties. Mr. Rettto, who is one
' the best Known sheepmen In this
section of the state, purchased the lol
for his own flocks and for a number
of neighbors. His clip of wool this
year was the second . highest prced
clip sold in the state, the price receiv
ed li mg 20 3-4 cents a pound. This'
ec -rd was eclipsed by Jte Cunha's
ulln v hh h sold for 21 cents.
V'ith the season hardly started, the
Cunningham outfit hits already closed
deals fur the tale of 500 rams. In
norire,l times there is little movement
of iireed'ng stuff until August and
September, and the fact that heavy
do;nnnt exists now is taken to indi
cate on exceptionally strong desire on
the pat i of breeders to get fine wool

factors that will play n big part in

Falconer. Possessed, apparently, of
an amount of energy rarely bottled up

of developing the 24.0UO acres of the

and has time to become acquainted
with Pilot Rock and Pendleton, and
permits them to know him. it Is easy
enough to see that he is destined to
