The California Wool Growers' Association was organized at Sac ramento, last week. Resolutions were adopted, setting oat tbe iact that the pasturage of sheep on pnblio lands and forest reserva tions is prohibited, and recom mending that a reasonable amount of such pasturage be allowed on the basis of government revenue, either at a tax per head on the sheep or upon each acre of land used. There are from 200,000 to 250, 000 sheep on the plaios around Huron, and all are doing well. Feed is very good, and. lambing is goiDg on, and the estimate is that it will be from 115 to 150 per cent for lambs. Many butchers are traveling over the plains, buying sheep. Sheep men are not very anxious to sell, but those that do soil receive good prioes. IN ARIZONA. Superintendent of Forest Re serves I. B. Hanna, of Santa Fe, has received an order from the Department of the Interior pro hibiting sheep grazing on the Black Mesa forest reserve in Arizona. Last summer there were as high as 300,000 sheep on the reserve, and the enforcement of the order will be a great hardship to sheep men. It is believed that the same order will be enforced on all the remaining reserves as soon as tbe investigation in respect to them is concluded. Thus far, grazing has been positively prohibited upon the Gila, the Pecos and the Black Mesa reserves. Home-seekers with means, and invest ors should come here. On aooonnt of the low prices at which its lands are offered, Morrow ootid ty expeots lo double its population Ibis year, Good land can be bought here at 91.25 to 85 an aore. Morrow county has a dozen townships of mountain timber lands that will some day yield im mense incomes to lumbermen end fuel dealers. TBvIIdd is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. . There are many causes of get ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over work and under-digestion. Stop over-work, if you can; but, whether you can or not, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can't live on it true-but, by it, you can. There's a limit, howeverj you'll pay for it. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for "can't eat," unless it comes of your doing no workyou can't long be well and strong, without some sort or activity. The genuine has this picture on it, take no other. If you have not tried it, send for free sample. Its a greeable taste will surprise you.

The American Wool & Cotton Reporter says: The wool market has been more active the past week, and a some what improved feeling is noted in the trade. Quite a number of mills have been represented in the mar" ket, and some fair-sized lines of w ool have been taken. The amount of business done considerably ex ceeds that of the previous week, and we should estimate the volume of sales at about three millions and a half pounds. They consist large ly of territories, scoured, Oregon, medium fleeces and delaine wools. All houses have not shared in this increased volume of trade, but a number of the largest firms report more movement, with at least an average week's business in pro gress. Consumers as a rule are still buying only for their imme diate necessities, but they are more disposed to sample wools. Some manufacturers express themselves as satisfied with the orders which they have taken on overcoatings. Others are still running on dupli cate light weights. Where the mills have actually booked orders for goods, they are not afraid to buy, and some of them have been sampling both fine and medium wools, with the idea of buying later whatever their necessities demand. Plain goods are being opened and it is possible that in a week or two a decidedly increased business may be experienced, if the volume of orders taken by the mills justifies it While prices are, on the whole, in favor of the buyer, there has not been sufficient reoession as yet toj ustify a general lowering of quo tations. In fact, on some lines, a pretty firm feeling prevails. This is especially noticeable on J-blood fleeces and delaine wools, as well as on scoured wools, and some sales have been made at full quo tations. The markets in the in terior are still proportionately higher than those at the seaboard, though country holders will in some instances sell for less money than they would have sold for a month ago. There seems to be an unusually large amount of wool stored in the Boston market, owned by western sheep men, but much of this wool is still held at figures which are considerably higher than current quotations. All rea lize that a great deal depends on Ibe course of the goods market, and it is needless to add that the latter will be watched with anx ious interest during the next three or four weeks by all concerned. It is felt that the mills are so very lightly stocked with wool as a whole that if there should be any thing like a normal demand for wool The trade are, therefore, content to wait for the time being until the situation develops some thing definite. Consumers who are buying, naturally are looking for bargains, but there are few if any positively weak spots in the situ ation, and on the whole values are pretty steadily maintained. ' For Oregon wools there has been a pretty good inquiry, and some No.. 2's have been sold on the basis of 45c a little lower than a fine medium grade. Take it all around, Morrow County has a good, healthful climate, and l'ap Simons, who lias lived in many places, says there are more pleasant days here on an average than anywhere else.

We Deny It! The Health Committee of the Heppner City Council hereBy emphatically denies the report printed in the Pendleton East Orego nian to the effect that smallpox was epidemic here. Like many other places all over the country, Heppner has been having its share of the so-called Filipino itch, and has had about a dozen cases, and has some now; but all are very light cases, and are being strictly quar antined. There have been no deaths and no serious sickness, and most of the patients have been able to cook for themselves. We respectfully ask believe the wild reports epidemic in Heppner.

LONGDISTANCE DANCING. You don't realize, but it is a fact that you get over many miles of ground during an evening a dance in a hall tbe size of the Heppner opera house. An average waltz takes one over of a mile. A square dance makes you cover half a mile; tbe same distance is covered in a polka, while a rapid galop will oblige you to traverse just about a mile. Bay there are 12 waltzes, which is a fair average. These alone make nine miles. Three galops added to this makes the distance 12 miles, while from three to five other dances, at a half-mile each, bring np the total to from 13 to 15 miles. This, too, is without reckoning the promenade and the extras. Tbe following is told by the granddaughter of an old lady who lived in Lane county and had been known throughout the neighbor hood as one who had a keen sense of the ridiculous. After a lone illness her final hour was supposed to have come, and her children and grandchildren gathered around for a last farewell, when suddenly she opened her-eyes, and, on see ing the mournful expressions of those about her, remarked with all her old-time vigor: ''The watched pot never boils."
