hosts of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its subterranean
vitality and emer ges upon the tirst solic
itation of spring. S wc by the winds,
bv wandering birds, nropogateJ by the
subtle horticulture of le elements
which are its mininters and servants, it
softens the outline of tne world. Its
tenacious fibers hold the earth in place,
and prevent its soluble components
from washing into the wasting sea. It
invades the solitude cf deserts, climbs
the inaccessib'e slopes and forbidding
pinnacles of mountains, modifies cli
mates, and determines the history , char
acter and destiny of nations I'nobstruu

thoroughfare and the field, it bides its
time to return, and when the vigi'ance
is relaxed, or the dynasty has perished,
it silently resumes the throne which it
never abdicates. It bears no blaionry
of bloom to charm the senses with fra
grance or splendor, but its homely hue
is more enhancing than the lily or the
rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air.
and yet, should its harvest tail for a sin

WOOL.
In Boston there has been 5,5X),0O0
pounds of wool sold during the past
week, with a firm feeling prevailing. An
active business at going prices is ex
pected from now on. The teodency to
unload at any price has passed, and
clean territory is firmly held at 40 cents.
Tbe concessions of a few weeks ago can
not now be had
Fine Eastern Oregon wool is quoted
in Boston on the clean basis of 43c. For
a ood Valley wool, grading to lo
quarter, 21c is reported to have been re
fused. This is equivalent to 35c, clean.
The bolder wants 23c in the grease
equivalent to a clean cost of about 37c.
During tbe last week the market has
steadied itself to an extent that raises
fairly lively hopes in the minds of the
trade
At tbe London sales superior grades
have been bought freely, and American
representatives bought a quantity at 5 a
7'a per cent advance over the first se
ries. Merinos were generally 10 per
rent hieher. A small selection of new
clip met with a ready sale.

Morrow county sheep have come
through the w inter in good shape, and
lambing throughout the Heppner Hills
will become general after April 1. Pres
ent prospects are good lor a 100-per
cent increase.
Sheepbuyers ere inclined tJ think
that mixed yearlings 'will sell at $2 in
Heppner this spring, but at present
growers seem to be tirin holders at $2.23
after shearing.
In Marion and Linn counties a
great many sheep have died recently
from swallowing leeches on the grass
they ate on lowlands. S. Philippi lost
1000 head at Scio, ti. V. Hunsaker 250
head at Turner. But later reports say
that these ti'irea are exaggerated.

ATPl KS IN OREGON
Henry Doscb, secretary of the state
board of boitictilture, gives the total
acreage 111 apple orchards iu Oregon at
16,500 a"res.
This seem- to the Moro Observer a
small aiea. There are 00 millions of
acres In Oregon and it is surprising that
there are no more in apples. The fruit
interests, with apples as king, has been
far more talked about and written aboot
than ary other Oregon industry. For 60
years men have p'auted orchards iu Or
egon ; the state bas been famous for its
"big red apples" for half a century, and
yet so smalt a portiou of land adapted to
applos is devoted to thtdr grow th.
Yet 1rt 500 seres is latge orchard.
Reckoning that the ree stand 25 feet
apart, eeveoty trees can be placed on an
acre. This would make the number of
apple trees now in Oregon 1,155,000.

! Every tnin who has served at an army

A ccuin poet commander who had
' a:c j:nu.ted more thao bis share of
erarikic-s-. was recently in command of
a firri-jn in Cuba. He had two fads:
; j.r ;..;-ved in whitewash, and plenty of

preventive of tropical diseases tver dis

a p t f. iminjo. who reen;eI being kept
in captivity and bowed his reseutment
! by nipp:r,g at every soldier who passed

there w as nothing to do bat swear on
j ler bis breath and wait for revenge. On
! a certain Monday morning an order was
! Issiel from bea .quarters that all arti
! cles bertaininii to camp, which were not
it will prove an j etered rom the weather, should be
whitewashed. Tne post commander's
wratii ran be imagined when he next
-aed on his pet flamingo, which had
j su i iec!y become as white as the driven
snow To tbe sorrow of the soldier, tbe
bird survived the operation.

Modern science has discovered tbnt
dandruff is caused by a germ that digs
up tne scalp in scales, as it burrows
down to tbe roots of the bair, where it
destroys tbe hair's vitality, causing fal
ling bair, and, ultimately, baldcess.
After Prof, Cons, of Hamburg. Ger
