Very Little Uoing in the Fat Stock
Jlurkoi.
The fat stock market is now very quiet
in Heppner, or in fact all over Eastern
Oregon.
Free movements in the fat stock from
Utah, Idaho and Montana have caused
a lull in the market.
The Union Meat Company recently
received a shipment of 1000 beef cattle
from Utah.
The demand for mutton sheep is fair
at about $4 10 per hundred in this
market. Hogs are worth about $5.35
and good beef stears are quoted at from
$4.25 to $4.30 in Heppner.
Officers Installed.
At the regular meeting of San Souci
Rehekah Lodge No. 33, Saturday night,
the following officers were installed by
D. D. I, Ida WarnocK :
r. G., Mrs. Nannie Vaughn; N. G.,
Mrs. Emma Jones ; V. G., Mrs. Margaret
Justus; Secy., J. L. Yeager; Treas.,

staff, and is in a very prosperous con
dition. Roadmaster Geo. Thornton came in
Saturday evening from a tour of inspec
tion in the north end of the county.
Mr. Thornton started out on the 15th
inst. and visited Lexington, lone,
Douglas and with the road supervisors
visited the roads in these districts. As
sr-on as the weather will permit, Mr.
Thornton w ill commence active work as
outlined in a recent issue of the Gazette.
Nothing can be done at the present
owicg to time bad weather.
iiki;iit OI TLOOK.
Says Secretary (iwliui of State Association.
J. II. Gwinn who was in tbe city at
tending the meeting of the Heppner
Woolgrowers' Association talked quite
encouraging for the outlook of the sheep
and wool industry to a Gazktte re
porter. "I think the outlook is very bright,"
said Mr. Gwinn.
"There is rather a dark cloud now,
but almost every cloud has a silver
lining."
"I have reference to the limit grazing
law which is now agitating the sheep
men. This law, if passed would mean
the annihilation of the ebeep business.
It would very much curtail the business
of Eastern Oregon.
"There are now 2,000,000 sheep worth
$4,000,000," continued Mr. Gwinn. "It
is not necessary to figure the wealth pro
duced by these sheep. I have con
fidence enough in the good judgment of
the Oregon law makers to believe that
they will not cripple Eastern Oregon by
passing this law."
"I am pleased with the enthusiasm
sbown and the good start made by the
Heppner Woolgrowers' Association. It
is right in line with the state organiza
tion." "The Oregon Woolgrowers' Associa
tion has been practically reorganized in
Eastern Oregon, and ij now on a basis
to accomplish results."
"The auxiliary organizations over the
country are getting "into line. Each
local association is allowed a repre
sentative to the state organization for
every 30,000 sheep owned."
Heppner has a strong organization
which is starting off right.

IWr. Itlorrnu's Appointment Will he
Very Satisfactory.
In speaking of the appointment of
Hon. J. W. Morrow as state land agent
by Governor Chamberlain, the Salem
Statesman says :
Mr. Morrow is probably one of the
best known Democrats in Eastern Ore
gon, and is amply able to fill tbe high
position for which he is chosen, and
Governor Chamberlain is being com
mended very highly on making this se
lection. The change will take place on
April 1st.
This appointment seems to have more
significence than appears upon the face
of it, for it develops new complications
which confronted Governor Chamber
lain relative to his appointmont of a su
perintendent of the Penitentiary, for
which lucrative position there are a
number of aspirants.
On account of the limited number of
appointments which are in Governor
Chamberlain's power to make, he will
no doubt endeavor to cut his official pie
that it may be apportioned equally, or
as nearly as possible, over the state.
In that case, Eastern Oregon being
now already awarded its position in the
appointment of Mr. Morrow, some
prominent Democrats are now of the
opinion that the candidacy of J. A.
Pouthit, of The Dalles, editor of the
Times-Mountaineer, who is an aspirant
for the superintendency of the Peniten
tiary, is now removed, and that this
plum now hangs over Marion county,
between two strong factors of the Dem
ocratic party, W. II. Downing and ex
Shenff Frank Durbin.

Mayor Frank Gilliam and R. F. Hynd
have returned from a trip to Portland
and Salem. They were up to Salem
last Thursday when the Burleigh one

committee on agriculture for investiga
tion. After careful inspection of this unjus''
