It marks the arrival of the loveliest of all seasons Spring. It finds us radiantly ready with bettered service, widened facilities and bigger value inducements than ever. The encouragement that comes with success has spurred us on to new and greater achievements. The low prices tell eloquently of the influence of this alert store and liberal selling policy.

Mr. Kirk visited Sand Hollow, the Sand country along the Columbia, the Rhea Creek and Willow creek dis tricta. In all he inspected the sheep belonging to 10 different owners, rep resenting a large number of sheep. Mr. Kirk reports an unusual amount of scab tin's sason, there bring much more ot this disease among the sheep than there was last year. Mr. Kiik attributes the e.iuse of this to outside sheep which have been brought in. Several owners have stocked up with sheep purchased outside of Morrow county, and un fortunately quite a number of tbe sheep purchased have been infected. The wandering bands of Siwashes that roam from the Columbia to the li ne mountains, are in clover, for the "puled wooi" season is now on in full blast. When it comes to pulled wool, this is tbe real tiling, for it is pulled out by hand from the bodies of dead sheep t at have tailed to survive during the winter. The past winter has been a bird one on stock, and consequently the Indians are row enjoying a higb state of prosperity. A big band of Blind Jim's followers came in this week with a large number of ponies, on which were tied with old lopes, old sacks, pieces of barbed wire, etc., tbe precious pulled wool. These Indians sold ove' $:;00 worth of wool and their faces were the very picture of happiness. They were all rich and undoubtedly felt tbat they were in J. I Morgan's class. This wool represented tbe toil of weeks by many bands. Tins pulled wool brings a good figure for the full staple is retained and it is always "strong" on the market. In payment for anything the Indian will only accept Bilver and gold coin, aster NEW SPRING STYLES Dress&Walk ino SKirts A fine line of these ne style ski its, just the thing to wear with shirt widsts, either for dress or shopping.

They are afraid of being cheated by the pale faes. luict Sheep ITIiirkct. To say that the sheep maiket is quiet, hardly expresses it. Tbere is no change. Several buyers are here, but all hands seem to lie wailing. A promitienCbuyer in speaking to the Gazktte said : "I don't know what we are waiting for, but we can't get together. There must be 100,000 of the kind of sheep I want, tor sale, but can't do anybusiness. The owners want to sell, and I want to buy but, wo can't get togeiher, and there you are." While it is yet too early in the season for much to be doing, movements are extremely backward. Court House ott s. The past week bas been unusually quiet at tbe court bouse, real estate transfers being almost at a standstill. Assessor Saling now has everything readly for field woik and will commence within a few days. Several workmen are now engaged on the court bouse grounds.

This same wheat was exhibited at the Baffa'o exposition and was of such high quality that a diploma was also awarded at the Buffalo exposition. The fact that Mor row county wheat carrid on" honors at two big expositions when in competition with wheat grown in all the wheat growing states of the union, is certainly a high tribute and good evidence that Morrow county is a good wheat counvy.

Hush Mill Continues for Timber in Itluc J7Ioun tains. For some time there has becn a rush for timber lands in the Blue mountains. For a month or two, more timber land lookers have been in Heppner than ever before known. A great many claims have been taken and still there are many more yet vacant south and southeast of Heppner. A great many of the claims are being taken by people who reside outside of Oregon, coming from Washington, Idaho and Eastern states. A few years ago, Oregon timber lands containing some of the finest timber in the world, stood vacant in large tracts and went begging, but it is different now. The rapid denudation of the forests bas caused such a demand tor timber that claims that were formerly con sidered worthless are now valuable and are eagerly sought alter. A peculiar fact of tbe taking of tbe timber lands is t hat most of the timber is now owned by people who do not re side in this state. The people who were nearest tbe timber allowed it to slip away from them little by little, and now it can be realized what they might have had. The question of repealing the act of Congress making it possible for each citizen to acquire 100 acres of timbtr land, is being agitated, and the tear that this act will be repealed, has had a tendency to stimulate ttie taking of lands. Nearly all of the timber taken in this district is pine and makes good lumber for building purposes. ICirtlii1a I'ari)-. Mrs. T. W.
