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.

"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

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,

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

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.
