Flocks Belter Winter Cafe.
That Indications for prosperity
among wool growers of Central Ore
gon are unusually good this year Is
the declaration of II. A. Ward, of the
First National bank, who bases his
statement on' recent advices concern
ing wool sales held in Arizona, where
the quality of the clip closely ap
proximates that of this section, and
because sample fleeces taken at
ranches where shearing has already
commenced show a Height of several
pounds more than the average of tho
year preceding. Better feed and
euro during tha winter months aro
held to be responsible for this.
Word from tho National Wool
Growers' association is to the effect
that the Arizona clip has been almost
entirely sold at from GO (o 62 cents,
a quotation considerably higher than
bud been expected In many quarters.
On the eastern seaboard line wool Is
in the greater demand, the cessation
of hostilities and tho demobilizing
of the troops having greatly reduced
the need for the coarser varieties.
This also will benefit Central Oregon
growers, whose clips are for the
most purt fine wools.
What can be dono with tho ordi
nary range Knmbouillct under proper
conditions Is shown at the Dan
Ilourligun ranch, where shearers have
just finished a bunch of 1300 ewes.
The average weight of the fleeces
was 12 pounds. At the O'Callahan
ranch, shearing is in progress, and
a fleece taken at random weighed
14 pounds. The wool Is clean and
white and of good quality.
Unusually good lambing percent
ages are reported from sheep ranches
In this section and in Lake county,
and on the O'Callahan ranch near
Paisley one ewe presented her owner
with four lumbs. Twins are common
enoagh, but quadruplets are con
sidered most unusuul in the Bheep
world.

"OREGON FIRST."
UY ROBERT E. SMITH
EhikuIIvo Maunder Oregon Victory Ixiun
The world war through which we haVe so re
cently passed is the greatest event in the world's
history since the beginning of the Christian era.
The part which Oregon has played in this world
war will be remembered long after we and our
children are dead. Our heritage of this war will
be our record of patriotic achievement, and this
record will be made in two ways: It will be the
record of our boys who were in the service, and
the record of those of us who stayed at home and
tried to do our part by supporting our govern
ment and the boys.
Oregon's military record stands head and shoul
ders above that of any other state. Oregon was
first in the enlistment and had a larger percentage
of its population underarms than any other state
in the Union. The records of the old Third Oregon,
the Coast Artillery and the 91st Division are records
which will never die and of which every Oregon
citizen may well be proud. The record of Lieut.
Burgard, who was five times wounded and who led
250 Oregon boys over the top, of whom 218 were
left upon the battlefield after an hour and twenty
minutes of iltrhtinp-. is onlv one of a nnmhpr of in.
i fetanccs of valor by Oregon men which will never
be forgotten. Lieut. Dorns made his way to
brigade headquarters after having his lower jaw
shot away in order that another officer might be
detailed to his company, all of the other officers
having been killed. Although he was decorated with
the croix de guerre for this act of heroism, the best
appreciation of this act will be found in a never
dying recollection of it by the people of Oregon.
There is no instance of record where Oregon troops
faltered under fire, and the record of our boys in
6ervice is 100 per cent, perfect.
So far the record of Oregon's citizenry in its
atriotic duty has been perfect. We have been
oremost in patriotic drives of every kind, having
i wice led the nation in Liberty loan lampaigns... It
is a distinct privilege for those of us who stayed
at home to be permitted to complete the wonderful
record of our boys by making a 100. per cent, record
in our duties of citizenship. Yet it is a tremendous
responsibility, as the people of the state would
never live down the disgrace of tainting our mili
tary record by failure to lead all other states in this
last great patriotic endeavor.
