Pendleton Republican Although the material prosperity of the Australian oolonies is based largely upon the richness and magnitude of their mineral resources, the paetorial and oogoate industries still oonstitate, as in former years, the priuoipal factor in the work of oolouial advancement, and despite the oooaeional heavy losses from drouth and other causes, the great pastoralists appear more energetic and enterprising tbnn ever, sparing no ex pense in the improvement or for wool, suys John Plummer's Australian corre spondence. Before the existing iudreased and oheaper facilities for the export of Australian prodaoe, colonial sheep farmers, as a rale, were content with the ordinary in or ease of their Hooka, making quantity, rather than quality, their cmef object. This polioy has now become re versed, and the great ambition of the leading pastoralists is to prodaoe the finest wool and mutton possible. To achieve this oonsideraole sums are ex pended in the purchase of high class rams, some of the price's giveD being ex ceptionally high. At the reoeot annual sheep fair in Sydney, 2410 sheep sold by a siogle ageooy oompany realized 27,103, the all-round price averaging 11 Hi 81, agaiust 9 8a 8.1 in the previous year. Several, of the prioes were somewhat sensational, a Tasmauian special stud ram. "The Admiral," beiug purchased by a New South Wales pastorahst for 1500 guineas. Another Tasmanian ram, "Pioneer," brought 900 guineas, the purchaser also btiog a New South Wales sheep farmer. Other prioes ranged Irom 120 to 150 guineas. Of course a ooosid erable proportiou of the sheep were bought for Queensland, Victoria and other colonies, but the pick was secured for New Bouta Wales. The "Admiral," whioh realizad the top price, far higher than seoured by many a favorite race horse, is a pure merino, oomiog from the best stook imported into Australia, and when last shorn gave 31 pounds of wool, with a 12-inonths' growth. Considering the heavy losses sustained by New gouth Wales and other pastor alists during the last few years, the heavy sales nud high prioes realized at the recent bsydney sheep fair speak volumes. Tho oolouiul. .pjurtpralistg. are determined to maintain their position in the markets of the world, and to achieve this no txpense is being spared. The New South Wales wools generally are tmong the finest known, bat within the aext few years they will have no su perior. It may be mentioned that in tfew South Wales the pri loiual breads sheep are the merino, Liiuoln, Lii- lester, Downs and Momuey Marsh, with crosses of the loog-wooled breed, chiefly vith the mariuo. At the olose of 1897 the estimated unmber of sheep in the aolony was; Merino, 40,065.936; long wools, 1,223,581; crossbreeds, 2,663,380. r.ital, 43,952,897. According to ilr. Oogblan, the climate of New South Wales admits of a stock of all kinds being left in the open air and there is little or no necessity for housing them daring the winter moutb Che sheep are kept in paddooka or tinder the care of shepherds, though oa some stations they are both shepnerded aud paddooked. The advautagas of the paddocking system are now universally reoognizad in the oolony; t ie ooiiutry will carry one-third more sheep; the wool will be Ionizer and sounder, and the fleece, as a whole, one third batter; the feed will be cleaner and less liabl to gross seel; the Bbeep will increase in size: they will live longer ft tut continue longer profitable; they will be freer from footrot and other diseases ; the expense of working the station will be lees than a. quarter of what it would be if the -beep were shepherded; and, finally, the owner will be able to devote toe principal part of bis time to improving his sheep, instead of spending it in at tempting to mana a number of sbep t,erds and hut-koepors, Stage" connect with traim at Heppner. it.

New York, Oat. 24 A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Everybody is asking why an immense body of remforoement is going out wbeu every bulletin of viotory from Natal proves that a more moderate foroe would suffice. That is a mystery as dense as Loudon's blaok fog. There is a glimmer of light from Paris, where it is rumored that the Kussian troops will not oocupy Herat premature ly with the ameer's consent. Well-informed men were asserting last night that these vast preparations w. re not nieaut as a grand perade but were a wise precaution rendered neoessary by the possibility that Russia would take advantage of the occasion aod make an other advance on western Afghan istan, wbeie full oontrol oould ba seour ed over Persia. With a British army corps on the ground in South Africa and in readiness fur service in India or Afghanistan, thesa witnesses wore ready to testify that Russia would not advanoa ou Herat. ELK0TK10 WITH BUisriOION. The magnitude of the movement against the two republios is evidently oreating in Europe that Barlyle describ ed as an atmosphere eleotrio with suspicion. Those who sre behind the eceues in European diplomaoy at the present mo ment aud are well aware of the intrigu ing now taking plaoo between Frauoe aud Russia and the intsntion, if possible, to take advantage of Euglaud'B difficul ties, very muoh doubt if the intrigues are cheoked by British successes in Natal and oa the western b irder of the Transvaal and the Free State, The British government is perfeotly informed of what is passing and has not hesitated to make verv swift preparation, naval and otherwise. IWFrenoh Mediterranean flaet of six- battleehipa aud several cruisers left for tbe Levant, where it has not shown it self for two years. This may or may not be oon neo ted with the soeues above noticed. Notuiug would be easier than for tbe Russian Blaok sea fleet to i io it, passing through the Derdanella. Tbe British channel squadron is inov ing to Gibraltar and ample convoy i is being sent with tbe British troops. Tbe author ilies at tbe various English naval ports have been wamel to be in readiness to go to sea and cruisers are now only waiting an order to mobdizs. With the militia reserve oalled out and the militia embodied, never whs tbe British nation more ready. OKDBHB FOR AMMUNITION.

When questioned as to the full extent of the oniur anil official of the company replied tlut it was against tbe rales of tbe oouocrri to talk in relation to war orders.

Lord, of this oity, was yesterday appointed Dy iresiaeni MeKinley to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to tbe Argentine Republic at an annual salary of $10,000. Ex-Governor Lord will aooept tbe im portant positiou that has been tendered him. There have been rumors current on Salem' streets for a number of days to tbe effect that suoh an appointment had been made, in fsot a Portland paper make fditorial mention of the appoint ment on Sunday, but the report wss not officially ooufirnied uutil late yesterday afternoon. When seen early yesterday afternoon and before the confirmatory message bad been received ex-Governor Lord -informed a Statesman reporter that the announcement of tbe appoint ment had been prematurely made, that tbe appointment would scarcely be made before the latter part of the week. The appointment of ex-Governor Lord is a high compliment to tue UDiucy oi Oregon's former ohiof exeoutive. By his official career in military life, bia many years faithful servioa in the supreme court oud as Oregon's chief executive, he is in every way pre eminently quali fied for the important position to which be has been appointed. The pocitiou rauks next to the highest diplomatic otfii'.es, tha salary for whioh is $17,500. The offiue ranks with that of miniater to Brazil, Italy or Spain and the expenses are not so great, Ex Gov ernor L'rd was offered the ministry to Persia several weeks ogo, but deolined the appointment. Owhis to Hie import ance of tbe position, the secretary of the legation is named by the department of state. Ex Governor Lard aud family will probably leave for h's post of duty in about a month. Minister Lord will re side iu Bueuos Ayres, the oapital of the Araeutine Republic, a oity of about 500,000 population.

Although tbe "Sootoh oollie dog," cb he is bo often oalled, has for many gen erations been one of the favorite varie ties ot the canine rnoe, bis fondest ad mirers of 00 years ago oould scarcely have expected him to have achieved tbe popularity wbioh be possesses at tbe present time and has held for some 20 years or more, says tbe Yiotoria Daily Colonist. He shares with tbe sprightly fox terrier tbe destination of being the favorite dog of tbe people of the latter part of the 10th century. The St. Ber nard has his admirers, so has the fox hound, but as neither is bo suitable as a companion the one on account of his size, the other for a variety of reasons tbe oollie and fox terrier are likely to retain their good reputation for many years to come. Tbe word collie is derived from the Anglo Saxon "col," blaok, so tbe blaok faced eheep ot the north oame to be called "oolleys," ttnd the dog that drove or preoeded them oame to be a oolley dog. In due course the word "dog" was dropped, bo by easy transformation, "oolley" grown out of use as applied to bis sheep was adopted as a euphonious word for a variety of the dogs, and bo re mains to this day. Bewick, the great wood engraver, rjalls this dog the "ooaly." But before Bewiok gave as his oburm- mg UiuatraMooB or tue aneep dog or "shepherd's bound," "Cauis pastoralia" was held iu esteem, and in the 16th ceutury duly described by Dr. Cuius, who wrote: "Our shepherd's dog is not huge, nnd vast, and big, but of an indifferent sta ture and growth, because it has to deal with the bloodthirsty wolt'e, since there be none in England. This dog, either at tbe hearing of bis master's voioe or at tbe wagging ot bis fist, or at bis shrill and hoarse whistling and hiss ing, bringeth tbe wandering wethers and stray sheep into the selfsame place where tbe master's will and work is to have them, whereby the shepherd reup eth the benefit, namely , that with little labor and no toil ot moving bis feet, be may rule aud guide his flock according to his own desire, either to have them go forward or stand still, or to draw baokward, or to turn this way , or take that way, For it is not in Euglaod as it js ittFraooe, as it is m Flanders, as it la ... in Syria, as it is in Tartary, where the sheep follow tbe shepherd, for here in our oountry the shepherd followeth the sheep, and sometimes tbe straying sheep, where no dog runs before then, nor goetb about or beside them, gather themselves into a flock, when they hear the shepherd whistle, for fear ot the dog (as I imagine) remembering that (it uureusoning crea tures may be reported to have memory), tbe dog oummouly runneth out at bis master's warrant, which is his whistle. This have we oftentimes marked when we bave taken our journey from town to town ; when we have heard a shepherd whistle we bave reined in our burse and stood still a pace to see tbe proof and trial of this matter. Furthermore, with tbe dog doth the shepherd take the sheep to slaughter, aud to be healed it they be sick, and no hurt or barm is done by tbe dogs to the simple creatures." The above is one ot the oldest records of the working f sheep dogs, and it ia interesting because it almost corresponds witb their duty at tha present day. There is no doubt that tbe oollie or sheep dog is one of the most useful ot the cuuiae race, and within the last quarter ot a oentury be lias been made ornamental, The general apnearauce Is that ot a little, active dog, of pleaaing outline, exhibiting strength, speed aud intelligence.
