The agitation for a commercial
club in Heppner has at last begun

gether and work for the intents
of the town.
The work was commenrpr1 K

petition was .circulated to ob

and athletic club.
A meeting for the purpose of
tmeewng organization was called
for last Friday night. Th
tendance was large and the inter

At the meeting consider hr

and exchange of views as to the
most successful plan. The nrp.

WOOL GROWERS'

Sealed Hid Method of Sellinir
a.' a
"""t'f Kiiaorsed at L,ast
Meeting-.
Sheepmen of Eastern Oregon lost
8350,000 by not waiting for sales davs
this season. The Oiegon Woo growers'
Association will stand by the sales-day
system to the last ditch. It' believe3 in
it, knows the woolgrower will set high
er and more uniform prices by waiting
until bids are opened on the official
days, and again exhorts all ' raisers to
support the system, which, if followed
out as intended, would have made Ore
gon sheepmen worth hundreds of
dollars more than they are now. Wp
hope that before many more seasons,
growers will be educated to the desiPP,
of patience and imbued with the
amount ol nerve that will enable them
to stand together.-(Statement of policy
on the sales-day system bv Robeit
Keys, newly elected president of the
Oregon Wooljjrowers' Association.
Robert Keys, of Mitchell, was elected
president of the Oregoa Woolgrowers'
Association at its evening, session at the
American Inn in Ponland. Wednesday
of last week. The next meeting of the
organization will be held at Condon.
Other officers elected wee: K G
Warner, Pendleton, yice-preeidtnt : U
C. Rooper, Antelope, secretary ; R. F.
Hynd, Heppner; J. JJ. Dobbins
ouwpa; j. Smith, Pndhton, and
W. G. Ayre, Durkee, members of the
executive board.
After discussing the forest reserve
question, the following resolution was
peesed :
"The Oregon Wool Growers' Associa
tion, while agreeing that the sheen-
raisers should in equity pay for grzing
privileges on reseryes, thinks th,
charges for the same should be reason
able and at all events lower than the
pecuniary benefit to be deriyed that
they may be permitted to realize an im
mediate profit on busin )ss risks. And
whereas mcny persons who pay for the
use of the reserve get only the benefit
of little more than two months in the
summer, we believe that the principle
should be recognized that the charge
made should be adjusted in proportion
to the benefit to be derived."

Sumpter, Or , Sept. lS.-The davs tnr
sheep grazing in this yicinity are about
over for the season. Owners of bands
'feeding on the Blue mountain ranges
say they must move their flocks some
time before the commencing of the
stormy season, as it ia almost an im
possibility to make the animals travel
when there is even a light fall of snow.
For this reason th-y will start to re
move their sheep in a few days. Most
of them run on the lane's near here and
are from Morrow courty, where they
will be returned for the winter.
