Thursday March 1, 1906 llltt AXyf'" mHPtins with phenomenal success which reflects credit upon the able physicians and trained nurses in ohiu-ee. This much needed msu tution is growing and is worthy of the confidence in which it is held. The Lexington Wheatfield man is also owner of the electric light system in LexingtoD. This is the first case on record where a country newspaper man could rustle enough money to start an electric light plant. Most of us would be satis fied with a coal oil lantern. This makes Mr. Thomas a shining light both day and night In the state of Idaho over 4,000,- 000 sheep were dipped last Bpring and more than half that many in IhA direction of iuc inn George S. Hickox, agent in charge of quarantine work for the .Bureau of Animal Industry at Washing ton. Mr. Hickox said: "The cleaning up of the sheep in Idaho was the biggest job I ever tackled It was done at the request of the state officials. A state law had been passed providing for the in spection and dipping just before we were called upon. 1 tools ll inspectors and the state furnished o liba nnmhpr. We had no trouble, except in Washington county, where the sheep men got nnt an irnnnfttion acainst US. The case is still pending in the courts it was claimed by the petitioners for the injunction that their sheep did not require dipping and were in perfect health. In Oregon, Nevada and California the laws do not reauire the dipping of sheep, and our department is endevoririg to have such a law passed in those states. Scabies is the disease that afflicts sheep. There is some foot rot, but not enough to cause any alarm. We started on the Idaho sheep in April and the number dipped was 4,017.245, and of this number 631,907 were dipped twice. Scabies were reported to have broken out in 319 bands in the spring, and only 34 bauds in the fall. In the fall we dipped 2,323, 8S3, and betwpen the spring and the fall 1,402,437 sheep were shipped out of the state." The dipping cost the owners an average of 2J cents for each 6heep. The great majority of sheep owners, said Mr. Hickox, were glad to obey the law. The dipping fluid em ployed consisted of a preparation either of lime and sulphur or tobacco and sulphur, said to b an infallible cure for scabies. SHEEP ASD CATTLE UICTIOM. PRO. Af a rp"pnt. mpetinEr of tbe 4 JL. t a o "Wyoming Wool Growers' Associa tion, Dr. J. W. Wilson, president of tbe association, in an address famishes some interesting data in relation to the sheep and cattle market Government reports Bhow a great increase in cattle while there has only been a small in crease in tbe nmmber of sheep in the country. The following fig ures will throw some light on the question of high priced sheep and low triced cattle. In tbe classifi cation cf cattle the government places tbe animals under two heads, as a rule, viz: Milch cows and other cattle. Animals not in the list of milch cows are all placed under the head of beef. In the United States on January 1, 1SS0, there were 12,027,000 milch cows. Under tbe bead of other cattle the number is placed at 21.231,000. On January 1, 1905, a penad ef 15 years, milch j cows were numbered at 17,57,404. Other cattle, 43,009,443. For the came period sheep have increased in numbers only a little less than r. onn nno The increase m miicn t'l CDOv 1AA fcJV.'V - s tattling gain of 106.6. For the .AaA m laat mine hUUMO w same period the iDcreaee in sheep ha been only 10 per cent. The following fi jures which are taken from the governuent reports will not furnish much encourage ment for the cattle growers: In 1880 there was 42-100 of. a hppf for each person in this coun- try. If each beef animal woum u produce 500 pounds of beet, in 1880 there would have been 210 pounds of feef for each person. In 1905 there would have been 250 pounds of beef for each person. "This would make forty pounds more in the latter priod than in the former. If the beef cattle had increased in the same proportion na the population iu the past t went v-five vears, there would now be 34,280,065 instead of 43,669,443. If the supply of cattle m the coun ts was sufficient in 1880, then there ib a surplus now ol y,tfu,owo, or more than was shipped to all the Western markets, including f!hieaeo. durine the past year. This parplus would supply ine Chicaeo market for three years "The increase in sheep in the past twenty-five years was 10 per " . ... cent If the increase had Deen proportionate to the increase in population there would now pe u, 241,451 bead, and as there are only 45,170,432, we will have to increase the present number over twenty five millions, to have the same ratio to population that we had in 1880. POSITION Of THE WOOL MARKET The wool market is in an inter esting position just at the present time, and one which is somewna puzzling to those who are seeking aMno. 7 l.rleHnpri basis on wnion future operations are to be con AnMaA "Broadly BDeaking, the ( 7 tone of the market has improved slightly sinced the opening of the montb, although not enough to es tablish any advance in prices in deed, sales of some desciiptions of wool have been made at concessions from the asking prices of a month or two aeo, as in the case of quar rpr.hlood fleeces and California wools, the latter having been un- usuallv draegy throughout the sea son; yet the members of the trade are feeling better than they were, and confidence in the situation has been strengthened by the reports of firmer markets which have been cabled from London and Buenos Avres. the great mainstay of the market being the increased demand from English and continental con sumers, which bids fair to continue in evidence at the London auctions, which open on March 13. Tint it. is reeoemzed that the wants of these consumers will be " " r- filled at some time, yet in view of the estimates from authoritative sources that the colonial wool clip this vear will show a further in crease af about 220,000 bales, with no noteworthy falling off, as far as as can be learned, in any of the large producing sections, the con clusion is a logical one that if the existing level of prices is to be sus tained there must be a continued large consumption of wool. It iB generally recognized that except for the strengthening tendency oVinoin in foreien markets, we would, today, witness a lower level of prices on domestic wools than exists, in spite of our reduced sup plies, and the importance of the foreign situation as a factor in de- terminine the course of wool yal ues in our market therefore is evi dent. American Wool and Cotton Reporter. Complaint comes to the Gazette about chickens running at large in the city. It will soon be time to make gardens and then tbe gardens or the chickens will get into trou ble. Chickens are nice to have and And no in a rood garden, but the o o ' chickens will do better than the garden if allowed to grow together. The city council has failed to pass an ordinance against gardens run ning at large, but there is a law against the public parade of the feathered egg machines. To pre serve the health of the chickens, Made a Graul nit Yetferday Evening The home talent minstfel at tbe opera house yesterday evening for benefit of the tleppufcr Athie firt nnd ftammercial dull was the hit of tbe season. The best minestrel sbw ever in ;he city, was the unamioua senti ment. For the hard work of the young people engaged in getting np this performance much credit is due. Especially can this be said of Garfield Crawford. Miss Elise Bartholomew, id faot every member of tbe company. The time and the work was cheerfully given for the benefit of an organization that will be of much benefit to Heppner The performances opened with all the voices of the company in concert, presenting pleasing har monv. Solos by Garfield Crawford, Herb Fant, Otheo Crawford, Harry Duncan, Carol Morrison, Miss Lillie Cochran and Robert Wiley, were loudly applauded. A feature of the entertammen was the two part song by Miss Elise Bartholomew and Garfield Crawford. The performance was closed with a funny farce comedv by Miss Leah Minor and Robert Wiley. Celllo to Snake 124.1 BIHea. Last Saturday the Mountain Gem took an outu t consisting of a couple of scows, on which had been built houses as quarters for the men, to Umatilla. The outfit belongs to a surveying party which has been making surveys all along the upper river, and has gone to the rapids to secure additional data and expects to be through with the work by the latter part of .the month. This surveying party has obtained valuable infoitaation, among other things determining that the distance from the mouth of the Snake river to Celilo rapids, ten miles above The Dalles is 124 1 miles. This is the only government survey that has been made of that stretch of the Columbia, but heretofore the distance has been vari ously estimated at all the way tmm 110 to 130 miles by the water route. By rail it is a trifle shorter than by the river, as the railroad cuts off a number of curves. Other important data has been secured by tbe surveying party which has just completed tafcing soundings of the upper Columbia river. The observations will be compiled and forwarded to Washing ton, together with a rough estimate of the cost of improving the boat channel. Every rock aud other obstruction aloniz the route that is likely to prove a men are to navigation has been charted, ...;th tko ornantinn nf those in a small VVIIU ... . v. . , - area in Umatilla rapids, on which they are now working. On the way up Saturday, th3 Gem threaded her course through the follow ins tortuous rapids: Hell Gate, John Dav. Indian and Pqmlly Hook, liocfc Creek. Owyhee and Canoe. II ts ae clared that the argument bad always been advanced heretofore that none of these rapids could be navigated during the low water stage. It Is believed that a small appropriation will suffice to put theuDDer Columbiain as fine a condition the year around for light draft vessels as unv other cart of the stream. ine Dalles Chronicle.

Only 25c Frank Lee Contract Clip. for Coming The first sale of the wool clips for 1906, in Morrow county, oc curred yesterday. Frank Lee contracted for 4U,UW,' pounds on the sheep's back. In speaking of tbe purchase to the Gazette, Mr. Lee said: "The name of tbe person selling the wool and the contract price will not be for publication, how ever, you can say that I bought this wool for less than 20 cents per pound." Will Collect fine. Out of the acanty estate of the late Senator John H. Mitchell the United States government will collect tbe sum of $1000, the amount of the tine which formed a part of his sentence. By direction of tbe solicitor of the nationa treasury, formeal notice has been served upon Colonel Davis M. Dunne, adminis trator of the estate, that the money must be paid. Senator Mitchell's estate has been appraised at about $3,800, while the claims against it aggregate $10,000. The government's claim is by law given preference over all other debts save funeral expenses, and expenses of ad ministration, and will, therefore, be paid in full. Out of the residue of the state the remaining creditors must be satisfied, and it is estimated that they will be fortunate to preceive 25 per cent of their claims. Several of the credi tors, when Informed of the govern ment's purpose to enforce payment of Senator Mitchell's fine, expressed strong dissatisfaction, aud an effort may be made to contest the allowance of tbe government's claim in tbe county court.
