' IN CALIFORNIA.
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.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
Boston, Feb. 2. 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

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."
Kd oration In Porto Hlco.
Tbe expense of maintaining sobools in
Porto Rioo is very blgb, it we consider
tbe amount spent for tbe small number
of pupils enrolled ; but as Ibe ooantry is
