The sheep market in Morrow county is now very quiet owing to the fact that about everything for saie has been cleaned up. The market has had early stimulation by the brisk demand and . high prices that have been offered and growers have now dianoHPrl nf about all of the surDlus.

Wiggles- worm ttiis week purchased 2400 head of lambs from Ed Day. for the highest standurd of public morale. As a husband he was affec tionate and as a friend and neighbor generous and hospitable. His death was not unexpected, and yet it comes as a shock, but he was ready. His affliction of the eyes whioh had proven a sore trial to him for months was borne with patience and resignation. At last total blindness came, and he felt the end was near, bot he was not afraid to die.' Death had no terrors for him. He set his house in order and departed. We know where to find him. The funeral sermon was preached in Lexington by the presidinz elder, Rev. H. S. Shangle, of Milton, Oregon, from Rev. 14:13, in the presence of a Urett company of relatives and friends.

Good Health to the Children Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is health ful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar light ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old.

Josiah Stewart Boothby was born tifar Jamestown, Brown countv, Ohio, Oct. 24. 1824, and died in Lexington Oregon. August 17. 1905. He was twice married, first to Miss Elizabeth Peyton, Coles county, Illinois, in the year 1845 To this union was born four children, viz: John C, Thomas J., Sarinantha and Marv J. Boothby. The last Iwo of whom have already preceded their glorified frhr to the better land. His first wife died February, 1867, in Coles county. Illinois. He was married again May 19. 1867, to Miss Susan J. ate. Coles county. Illinois, with whom he lived until the day of his death. To this union were born two children, viz: Grant and Luella. The latter afterwards was married to Charles Beymer, Lex ington, Oregon, and is now deceased. Th subject of this sketch was con verted and joined the M. E. church in Griggpville, Illinois, about the year 1855. Then about six years aiio he joined the M. E. church, south, in Lex ington. Oregon, of whiih he remained a tcithful and consistant member until his death. He served the church as an effi ient officer, and the inspiration of his service will be missed in our coun cils. During the late civil war he served as a valient soldier for three years in defense of the Uuion. In 1895 he wa elected by the citizens of Mor row countv to rep-epent them in the eate legislature. This honored trust he filled with scieptibility to his people and with great credit to himself. Bro. B othby was an honored ..it;, and w j,,,. i, esteemed tor his purity of characer and integrity of life. He ever Mood for the best in society and Following is the report of the United States Department of Agriculture. Ore gon section for the week ending Friday, August 22: ' Liarht showers occurred during the fore part of the week in the lower nor- tion of the Willamette valley and in the northern coast counties. Elsewhere throughout the state dry weather pre vailed. The temperatures in western Oregon averaged about normal, wnile the weather east of the Cascades was slightly cooler than usual, especial ly at night. The rain somewhat revived vegetation but as a whole the amounts were too small to do much good, and gardens, corn, potatoes and pastures are suffer ing for want of moisture. Grain is about all cut and in the stack. Threshing continues in all sec tions. The yields in tbe Willamette valley continue disappointing, but in the Columbia and Grand Ronde valleys the returns are. very gratifying. Hops are making seasonal progress, and where spraying was thoroughly done the lice have about disappeared. Corn is earing and filling nieely and a good crop is indicated. Stock continues to lose flesh. Tlums and some varieties of prunes are ripe and being gathered. The yield of most fruits will fall below the aver age, both in quantity and size. Apples and pears are small and dropping more than usual, reaches are plentiful and of good flavor. There have been immense crops this season of hay and all kiuds ot grain in Baker county. A few days ago I pur chased several hundred tons of hay and pasturage, at $3 50 to $4 per ton. I got the very best sheep bay, and you can put it down as a certainty that there will be no shortage of feed this coming winter and prices will be cheap, as compa ed with most winters. On the other hand, we secured excellent prices for mutton and lambs." Baker City Democrat. f ields Swept Ily tlaiuek. Pendleton, Or.. Aug. 18. One of the mot disastrous grain fires that has ever occurred in this county started in the field owned by Muir Bros., 12 miles fiom this city, thiH afternoon, and at a late hour tonight was still burning fiercely, and traveling toward the south west. The loss, as far as could be learned tonight, had reached $2000. Should the fire continue its way in the direction it has assumed, the loss will amount to many thousands of dollars. The origin of the fiie is a mystery, but the flames were first noticed ooming from h bunkhouae, and before the place could be reached had gained audi head way that it was impossible to stop its destruction. Fifteen hundred sacks of grain lying in the field were destroyed. and hundreds of acres of pasture land weru made bare. The wheat was insured.
