t The Heppner Gazette LIVESTOCK IN OKEdSON. The Stock Industry is in a Prosper ous Condition. In a recent interview with a Portland paper, C. J. Millie, livestock agent of the 0. K. & N., who makes a study of the stock industry, gave out the follow ing: "Speaking of the shpep industry," said Mr. Millis, "this has beeo one of the most prosperous years on record in Oregon. The crop of lambs, despite the blustering squalls and cold rains that visited our ranges about the be ginning of our lambing season, was over 95 per cent this year. Other lo calities had as high an increase, but it was 'not saved. By an increase we mpan the number of Iambs that lived, to become available for future demands, and not the number dropped. On ac count of drought and short crops in the great feed producing central states, the shipments of sheep have been some what below the usual amount. As a re sult the ranges and markets tt home are in a somewhat congested state. One of the unfortunate results of this con dition is th conflict of stockmen on the ranges. If the Eastern movement of sheep had been as great as it generally is, and as great as the ranges of Ore gon are prepared to furnish, very much, if not all ot this unpleasantness on the ranges would have been avoided. "A large movement of sheep has taken place in Oregon this year, that is an entirely new feature in the business. This is a, movement of Northeastern Oregon sheep into the San Francisco markets. I have in mind one firm that has shipped 100 carloads of sheep to this market from the extreme eastern portion of the state. This has added a new impetus to the business in that ..Monterestelli Bros.. Granite and Marble Monu ments a Specialty : : : : STONE AND MARBLE CUTTERS Finishing Stone Work for Build ings.

"Altogether Oregon has shipped out this year, in round numbers, 500,000 sheep. This is only one half of what would have gone, had crop conditions in the Central states, where all of the feeding is done, (not restricted the de mand. Oregon lambs have topped the market in Chicago this fall, for this 01 class of sheep. The total amount of sheep in the state is 4,250,000, on a con servative estimate. "The wool market has been very spirited and the wool has moved rap idly. The practice of making sealed bids for the wool clip, by the various buyers, have added a new feature to our wool markets. Purchasers keep the prices up, in their rivalry for the out put. "Just now the horse is taking a rest. The lull in the business occasioned by trie close of the Spanish and Boer wars has affected the movement of horses. There have been shipped out of Oregon this vear 250 carloads, the ptincipal movement being to the Omaha and Kansas City markets. Oregon cattle have been sent into Montana, Dakota and Colorado during the early portion of the season. Later the beef shipments have been to Port land and Sound cities The absence of parking houses and other permanent industries connected with the beef bus iness, tend to cause Oregon cattle to be shipped out of the state. So far the shipments from the state, over the va rious lines, amount to 30,000 head, for this season, with the heavy feed yard shipments yet to go. It has Tome to the Front. The rapidity with which the Disc Gra phophone has come to the front is due to the fact that the quality of the records has been constantly improved, from the time this . type of machine began to be made by the Columbia Phonograph Company, the pioneers and leaders in the talking machine art. The advant ages of flat, thin and indestructible ie' cords were always recognized but the manufacturers who attempted to make them failed eo lamentably in producing anything to compare with the cylind rical records used on the graphone that the demand for them was uni portant. All that is changed ; the Columbia Disc Records are a delight. If vou have not heaid them you can form no idea of the advance that has been made in them. The disagreeable Bcratch and the mullled effect has been replaced by a smoothness, naturalness and brilliancy which gives to their reprodution a most charming effect. The Disc Graphophone is made in three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30. Seven inch reiwds 5oc each, $5 per dozen; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per dozen. The Graphophone and Columbia records were awarded the Gand Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900. The Columbia Phonograph Company, 125 Geary Street, San Francisco, head quaters for Graphophones and talking machine supplies of every kind, will send you catalogues on application.
