SHEEP MEN
ENGOURAGED
SHEARING AND LAnBINU NOW
IN PHOGIIESS.
No Wool II a a Yet Been Contracted
-Urowcrt Holding For Sales
Days.
Sheep shearing has now commenced
and is general in the northwestern part
of Morrow county, especially in that
portion lying along tbe Columbia River
in tbe lower altitudes, where the cli
mate is somewhat milder than in the
foothills of the Blue Mountains.
Taking everything into consideration,
conditions with the sheep industry are
very favoroble, in fact, belter than for
several years. There was a big hay
crop last year, the sheepmen were well
provided with feed, and the sheep went
on the range this spring in exceptional
ly good condition. The unusually early
spring has also been a prominent factor
in adding to the profits of tbe sheep
growers. In speaking from an average
basis, grass started fully three weeks
earlier than usual, and has grown
rapidly.
With p'enty of green grass every
where and wa-ni Minehine, the season
is excellent fo lambing operations
which a e rr w in progress. The lamb
ing season, which lasts for about four
weeks in this county, in now about balf
tti'otiKli, and h hiith percentage of
lambs is belry saved. Many accounts
1 1 100 per cent increase are reported.
The Penland Land & Livestock Com
pany, the largest concern in the county,
is now about half through lambing 13,
000 ewes. Even with such a large con.
Cern as this an average Increase of lOo
per cent is reported. While this very
high percentage will probably not Lold
out to the finish, still the general
average will undoubtedly be a record
breaker wi'h this company. There are
now 217,000 head of sheep in Morrow
county to be sheared and the clip is es
timated at approximately 1,800,000
pounds. With the wool hauled in from
Kdjoining counties, at least 3,000,000
pounds of wool will be ruaiketed in
Heppner this s- ason. (i -overs feel con
fident that they will receive troiu 2 to 3
cents more per pound than they were
paid last vear. N ) wool to speak of has
been contracted for hore cn the sheep's
back. G owers genera l' are inclined
t) hold for the sales days, which will
occur in Heppner on May 2(, Jir.e 9,
20 and 20. The sealed bid system of
selling where the buyers meet in com
petitive bidding, which was adopted
here three years ago. lias been very
successful, and the bulk of the w ol
will ba fo'd io fiia manner.
The greater portion of the surplus
sheep, cjnsisting principally of mixed
yearlings and 2-year-old wethers, which
are for sale here every season, have
been turned off. About 00,000 mixed
yearlings have been bought at $2 13 per
head. About 15,000 2-year-old wethers
have been turned off at $2 40 per head.
These prices have been encouraging,
being fully 23 per cent higher than last
ear.
Close political affiliation is be
ing sought by many British poli
ticians beUeen Canada and the
British West Indies.

JWAY GIVE CP JOBS.
State Employes Object to Discount
on Salaries.
Salem, Or., April 9. "We do not an
ticipate any grave trouble as a result of
the unsatisfactory effects produced by
tbe impending referendum of the gen
eral appropriation bill," remarked an
asylum official tonight, in commenting
upon the heavy discount being made
upon the state scrip by the brokers.
"If any resentment is felt on the part
of empbyes throuah having their wages
shavrd, whioh I understand ihre is. it
will not be Brown in a demonstrative
way, but may cause many of them to
resign to seek more remunerative em
ployment. If this should occur, it
might operate to cripple the present ex
cel'eut service now being enjoyed for
an indefinite period, but there me more
applicants for positions oi haud now
than there have been for the pa-t two
years, and there would be no d fficulty
in filling all vacancies. There is an un
usually large number of applications for
positions coming from attendants in
Eastern a-ylums who desire to come
West, but it I as bt-en th policy of th3
government to employ local applicants
first, and the policy will be followed out
as far as possible. The employes un
derstand the BituaMoT iu !y, and show
no disposition to blame the officials of
tbe sta'e or the asvlu:u for the existing
conditions."
Inquiry disclos-.b U,.su rcd Scully the
same conditi ns exittl at the other state
institutions, end that general dissatis
faction is being felt among the em
ployes. It also develops that the two
asyjums employes w ho were obliged to
cash their certificates at a discount of
15 per cent bad resigned before tbis con
dition materialized, and did not do so
on account of it.
