BHEEP AND WOOL NOTES. No line of farm animal industry, says an exchange, has made the substantial, marked progress iu the last six years that bas sheep. As mutton producers the Chevoits, al though very hardy and prolifio, have a tendency to lightness iu the fore-quarters. They are great rustlers. The most successful sheep feeders are nut actual sheep raisers ; nor are they, as a rule, farmers in Buy sense of the word. They are, however, successful business men who know the sheep trade from a oommercial standpoint, and the best methods of handling tne business. Of these methods few sbeep raisers have the least conception or knowledge. All our old methods and theories of profit able sheep raising have failed when brought to tests of the last few years. If those who have made money with sbeep were to giye the reason for their success they would say that tbe chief fac tor was the cure they gave the flock. Successful sheep meu are a auit in say iug that, no mutter v. bat breed is kept or for what purpose, painstaking oare in great and small things is tbe only ay to make sheep husbandry profitable. The question fur the beginner to settle is whether bis oircumstances are such that he can give his oare and he is so constituted lhat he will take pleusure in doing it. Otherwise be will find more money in some other branch of stock raising for which he and his surround ings are better suited. CATfLE ITEMS. Montana oattle shipments for the year are 195,000 head: 62,000 have already been marketed. Tbey averaged the ranchmen 838 a head. Mixed grasses ato better for stock than a single variety. No matter - how valuable any particular grasses may be. or how large the yield, tbe stock will thrive better when fed on a variety. The individual preferences for oattle dif fer and they will at all times accept a change of food which promotes appetite and thrift. Some people maintain that Durham oattle are not good milkers, but V. E Bill, who bas a fins bird of shorthorns, holds a different view, says the Husford, (Cal.) Journal. Recently, iu an inter view with a Journal reporter, he stated that during the previous week he bad been milking sixteen bead of cows, , hieu bad nothing to eat but alfalfa. Of these sixteen bead of cows, tour are due to calf in Deoember and two are heifers, jet daring tbe week referred to Mr. Hill made 53 rolls of butter and sold 180 pounds of milk to tbe cheeae factory, be sides what his family oonsumed. Fig uring the 189 pounds of milk as three and a half rolls of butter, wbicbit would no doubt have made, would amount to fifty-six and a half rolls of butter, or 113 pounds, made by the milk given by bis cows, or an average of a little over one pound a day from each oow. Cows that will average one pound of butter a day are not to be sneered at, and a herd tbut will produce that is worth having. LABOE WBEAT FOB. BKED. Experiments reoenlly made, says Bell's Weekly Messenger, appear to show tbe advantage gained by tbe use of the larger grains of wheat for seed. Seed wheat fully matured was selected out of one bin, and by sifting, two li ts of seeds were taken, one extremely large, the oth er small. Tbe large weighed 63.9 lbs per bu., the Bmall only 40.5 lbs, a differ ence of more than fifty per cent. Each lot of seed was divided into four sepa rate parcels and four separate sowings were made. The land was good wheat land, but nut specially manured. The large seeds sprouted the quiokest, made the best growth, was taller, and on the average made 10 bushels per aore more tban the small seed, The advantages of the large seed were greater rapidity of growth and development of crop early in tbe season, greater ield of graiu anil of straw, better weight and better qual ity of grain for milling Asieethat will allow tbe smaller kernels to go through along with tbe seeds of weeds will very BDeedilv nay for tbe time and laher re quired to separate and save tbe large grain for seeding purposes.

Heppner Can Have Waterworks That Pay Interest on the Investment. Below the Gazette publishes, except tn am minor Darts, the report of Civil Engineer Oliver on the subject of a water supply for Heppner. Ibis pa per was uot aware that the report w.mli. tie made public till aoted upon by oui ounoil. supposing it to be the privatt property of the committee on fire am' water, till their report was mnue to tna body. Inasmuoh as tins is noi me oase, we give the same publicity , with a fe 0 irrectious as it appeared in our contem porary : To the Mayor and members ol tbi Council of Heppner, Oregor. : Uentlt men: Iu pursuance of a request made by your honorable body, I have made examination and Burveys for a water supply for the town of Heppner, Ore gon, and respectfully submit tbe follow ing report: The various places of which I will make mention, are so well kuowr to jou all that I will simply designate them all bv name. An abundant supply of water could doubtless be obtained from some of the mountain streams, but their great dis tance from Heppner and the consequent enormous cost of a pipe Hue necessary for the oooveyanoe of the water prohib its the consideration of a supply from this souroe at this time. I have concluded that the only prac ticable means for securing a sufficient supply for all purposes will be from the springs near Heppuer, and when tbe town iuereases in population so that this supply is insufficient, a supplemenetary may be obtained from wells sunk deep enough for the purpose. The cost of pumping from wells is quite an item and as long as a supply oan be obtained from tbe springs, should not be resorted to. The springs that I have examined are three in number. The Rector springs, with a discharge of 60,000 galloDS per twenty four hours; the Hughes spring, with a discharge of 25,000 gallons per twenty-four hours and the Bruudage spring, with a discharge of 15,000 gallons per twenty-four hours. Of these the Rector springs are the on ly ones worth considering, as the Hughes spring is Bn inferior quality of water and the Brundage spring of iusiflkient dis charge. ' ' . The Reotor springs at tbVtent time furnish 60,000 gallons af'gooirfqnvUty of oold, dear water during each twenty four hours and I am assured by persons living near them that the present dis ohargs is fully as small as has ever be fore been known. This amount of water (60,000 gallous) would allow sixty gallons per day for each inhabitant of a town of a thousand people. A majority of the cities of the Uuited States do not have this much per inhabitant, while other cities use and waste three times as mnoh. I thiuk by careful management, sixty thousand gallons per day would be suf ficient for Heppner for some time, and as before remarked an addi iooat supply oould be obtained from wells. 1'be Reotor sorings are at au elevation of 187 feet above Main street in Heppner, and by building a reservoir at a point 110 feet above Main street, a four-ioob pipe would be more than large enough to carry the discharge of the springs to tbe reservoir. I think it would be a good plan to use this size of pipe, however, ac fungus growtus are liable to occur in pipei which obstruot tbe flew of water, and also by building a large storage reservoir boldiug, say four hundred thousand gal- lons.it oould iu the spring of the year when there is plenty of water runniag m Hin ton creek, be filled and allowed to stand as a protection against fire. This amount of water would supply two fire hydrants running steadily for twenty tour bourer If at any time the water in this reser voir should become diminished, it could be re-filled from the ordinary flow of the pipes and the population of the town be Oompehed to goon a short allowance of water until it was de. Bv adhering to this plan the town would always be pretty seourely protect ed from fire. The water for city and domestic use should not be allowed to ruu in this reser voir, but into a smaller one holding, say fifty thousand gallons so that the supply ould always be fresh and pure. At the head works considerable ex cavation would be necessary to cleau not tha vegetable matter around the springs, and if bed-rock is not too deep it would probably be well to excavate to it as the flow of water might be some what increased thereby. Around the springs a cement brick or stone wall should be built so that the oreek water oould be exoluded and only AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJ UM Chicago, IIL I was confined to bed ; could not walk from lame back; suffered 3 months; doctors did not help; 3 so much of it allowed to run into tht head-works as would be required to kee the storage reservoir filled. This four-inch pipe from tbe bead works to the reservoir should be of wrought iron, it being tbe cheapest, and tbe pipe for tbe oity distribution should be cast iion to allow their being tapped by service pipes, as this oould uot safely be done with wrought iron pipes. The storage reservoir could be exoava ted iu point of hill above Heppner and walls made of puddle covered with a :hin oouting of cement. The smaller reservoir for city service 3ould be constructed of timber as the water would not remain in it long enough at a time to cause it to taste of the wood The city service pipes should be con nected to both reservoirs, but the water u the storage reservoir, being shut off by valves, need not let run into tbe pipes except during tbe time of fire. From the reservoir to Main street there should be an 8-iuoh maiu laid. Along Main street a six-iuch main and on other streets a four-inch maiu. At about everv two blocks there should be set non-freezing fire hydrants. On this plan the approximate estimate of cost of the system covering everything 830,663 00. From this expenditure the following annual revenue could be expeoted; Ser vice hydraDts at $21.00 83,000 Value to towu for fire pro tection, street sprinkling, etc , pei aunum 1,500 Total revenue.'. 4,500 Tbe following would probably oover the operating expenses: Man to make collections and have general chargeof the water works. .8 900 Office rent, stationery, fuel, etc.... 300 Repairs 300 rotal expenses 1,500 Net annual revenue from syBtem. . .. 3,000 When tbe gravity supply becomes in sufficient the approximate cost of an ad ditional supply from wells would be 81-00. l hauking you for your courteous treat ment aud assistance rendered, I am Very respectfully yours, Emeky Oliver, Civil Engineer, ABBEN1C AND AMMONIA. Remarkable Contrast in the Effect of Tiro (' Poisons on the Complexion. The slow absorption of many poisons bnngea in some more or lesJ modified form the complexion, but arsenic and ammonia show their t fleet about as quickly as any. The popular belief that arsenic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill themselves with it in small, continued doses. It produoes a waxy, ivory-like appear ance of tbe skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after ef fects have become too well known tco make it of common use as a cosmetic The efTeots of ammonia upon the com plexion are direcily the opposite to tbat of arsenio. Tbe first symptom of am monia poisoning which appears atnoug tbose who work in ammonia factories is a disooloration of tbe skio of the nose and forehead. This gradually extends over tbe face until tbe oomplexiou has a stained, blotched, and unsightly appear ance. With people who take ammonia into their systems in smaller dosea, as with their water or food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon. Tbe on ly effect of the poison tbat is visible for a time is ageneral uuwholesomeuess and sallowness of the complexion. Many people are slowly absorbing am mon in poison without knowing it. The use of ammonia in the manufactures has greatly increased of late, and it is uu questionably used as an adulterant iu oertain food preparations. Official an alysis have plainly Bhowu its use even in such cheap articles of every day con sumption as baklog powders. Tbe con tinued absorption of ammonia in even minute quantities as an adulterant in food is injurious not merely from its ef fect upon the complexion, but beoause it destroys the oouting of the stomaob nod causes dyspepsia and kindred evils. Professo' Long of Chioago, is author! ty for tbe statement tbat, if to ntty million parts of water there is one part of ammonia, the water is dangerous. PRONOUNCED HOPELESS, YET SAVED.

I gave myself up to my Savior, dotermined if I oould not stay with my friends ou earth, I would meet my absent ones above.

DESERTS HIS FlMILT FOR TOE CHARMER Hi Wife and Children, Who are Highly Bel pected, Have the Sympathy of tha Community. He worshippsd and fell. For some time a young widow by the uume of Mrs. Dora Wilson has been en" gaged iu the milliuery business in Hepp ner, keeping her stock in tbe parlors of the City Hotel. She was apparently at tentive to her business and did fairly well. It was here that she became ac quainted with Isaao N. Basey, tbe lessee of tbe City Hotel. Heppner bas been talking for iom time about the intimacy existing be tween tbe widow and Mr, Basey, but a large majority thought nothing of the matter, as there is always more or less gossip going the rounds. Only a short time ago Mrs. Basey was called below by the death of her father, and tbe oritios do say tbat during her absenoe Mr. Basey and Mrs. Wilson grew more at tached aud attentive to "eaob other Very recently the wife returned from the valley. Her suspicions were aroused, and she resolved to watoh. Last Tburs day night tbe beaband and father wub oaughl in a rather compromising posi tion in the widow's bedroom. Some friends of Mrs. Basey happened to be near and were called to witness all, while a musoular young man held down the window to prevent exit in tbat direc tion. By 8 o'clock Friday morning the wbole town was full of excitement over the scandal. Tbe pair iutended to leave by the morning truin, but a large ship ment of stock had to be taken down, and thus delayed tbe departure till after noon. Growing tired of the delay, the oouple started on toot down the railroad track, but were overhauled nefore they bad proceeded very far, by Sheriff Noble on warrants issued on complaint of Mrs, Basey, charging them with adultery, aud also from Basty'g Heppner creditors, who were satisfied of bis intentions to leave the state. All were finally dismissed, on proper settlement being made. Basey then departed, accompanied by the wo man, it is supposed for Castle Rook or Echo, where the train oould be taken for a Bpeedy exit out of the country. Mrs. Wilson's mother and other rela tives live in this county and, we are in formed, are well respected. She is late ly from Chioago where her husband died not long ago. Tbe weight of Basey 'a infamy, how ever, falls on bis innocent wile and children. Mrs. Basey is a most excel lent woman, highly refined, of a good family, and Bhe, as well as ber children, have tbe sympathy of their many friends and acquaintances in Morrow county. It is tbe verdict of all tbat bis leaving is good riddance, and that not oulv his ac tions of late, but for the past year, have been suffioieut to characterize him as a very poor man for any community. In this oonncolion it would be well to state tbat Mr. Basey's relatives here are good people and highly esteemed, as are his parents who reside in Salem.

GOOD Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the Good-Luck Baking Powder, Owing; to the fact that good luck always attends the use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists are employed to test the strength ingredient. Nothing is trusted to always uniform in its work. House wives never fail to have "good hick" in ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes remain moist and sweet, tains the white of eggs. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. EDITORIAL. TARIFF NOT A TAX. If tbe tariff is a tax, why is it that so many artioles of American manufacture are selling lower in tbe markets limn the aotual amount of duty on that of foreign manufacture; why more are lower than in tbe days of free trade; why farmers' products are increasing iu price and manufactured necessities are selling low er year by year? Our home markets are open to American competition, only, that is the reason. Our English neigh burs are tbereby compelled to unload elsewhere, their home territory not be ing of sufficient size to take near all ot it, and that is the reason why their mon ey, their press and their people cry against America's protection and for the national candidates of free trade tenden cies. Uur people cannot be expected to remember back to an era before they were born, but tbey ouu lend aud thiuk. What was England's policy in the inter colonial days, remains tbe aiime at pres ent. The colonies were muuufucturing too much, growing too Independett. The attempts to reduce them to serfdom and poverty brought about our national in dependence. England's polioy today, to aooomplish disaster for us uud have their tills running over, is to meddle with our national affairs. They do not own ns but tbey would like to, and will prac tically aooomplish it if we are not on the alert. "We know from experience iu the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that it will prevent oroup," says Messrs. Gad berry & Wotley, Percy, Iowa.
