IHrove Sheep lOOO miles. To travel ICO0 miles on foot with 30, 000 sheep lis a stupendous undertaking, vet this feat was accomplished recently by 17 liiTiSmrH, headed by K. II. Daly, a j livestock iealer and ranch man of Omii- m and Stevenson, Neb., says the Shep herd's Bulletin. Mr.'Dnlv passed through Ne Yoik the other day on his way to the Cana dian northwest, on a business trip, tmd at the Astor house gave a vivid descrip tion of how the sheep were herded. Tlie j.inrney was from Snta Ke.inNew Mex ico. 'to Stevenson, in central Nebmrka, and it was undertaken prituarily to de feat tihe railroad company. ' I tiave for over25yeaislieenenpageil in the handling of sheep, being what is caUed a 'sheep feeder,' " he said. A 'sheep feeder' is a man who receives the animals from the ranges into the teed lots, where they are fattened for market; and he is distinguished from a 'breeder,' who grows his sheep on the range. Last March I contracted with a Mexican living in Santa Fe to buy 30,000 sheep. "Owing to a difiiculty'with the rail way company in the matter of freight rates, I determined to have the sheep 'trailed through' to Nebraska, which, in western parlance, means driving them overland. "I selected my men at the same time I contracted for the sheep. I also pro cured two of the heaviest 'grub' wagon I had on my ranch, four strong mules, and two good saddle horses, togeiher with all camp utensils and other neces sities for the trip. Tlie wagons, mules, etc , I sent down to Santa Fe by freight. Altogether there were 17 men in my em ploy, detailed to bring the sheep through. "Arriving at Santa Fe, we at r.nce set about getting the sheep ready for the long drive The Mexican with whom I had contracted for the 30,000 had. in turn, sub contracted with numerous small Mexican ranchmen for the required umber. His agreement was to deliver at Santa Fe the specified number and quality of animals. "There were several reasons for buy ing in this way. For example, the Mex icans in the outlying districts know noth ing of money drafts and checks, and gold would have to accompany every pur chase, and to traverse the wild hills and canyons of Mexico with money in one's possession would be positive madness, unless, of course, one bad a well-armed company as a bodyguard. "Well, the email bands ot sheep were speedily brought in, and tbey grazed around the town until my Mexican friend told me through his interpreter that he was ready to turn over the lot. "Next morning the wethers were started on their 1000-mile tripto Nebras ka, divided into five bands, each in charge of a herder on foot. One extra man went along to act as night watcher. The cook travelled In the wagon and the foreman of the gang rode on horseback. "Our 18,000 lambs were ruu in six bands, with a herder in charge of each. We left Santa Fe on the tirst day of May, and the weather was hotter than blazes. "We reached the little town f Stev enson on the 24th day of September just about five mouths from the day we started. The second band had overtaken us, and we went through the town to my ranch with the 29,000 odd skveep. The fog of dust we raised nearly smothered tbe place The sheep came through the entire drive in good oondi ti n much better than if they had been ehuppad in." At Tacoma, on Christmas day, Frank Genes, aged 13, shot and instantly killed his cousin, Emma Thomas, aged 4 years. The children were playing in the kitchen when the tragedy occurred. It is be lieved to have been accidental. JJiLJ,iWjJl i n vtrisMA A Policeman's Testimony, J. N. Patterson, night policeman, of Nashua, Iowa, writes: "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least a half-dozen advertised cough medicines and had treatment from two physicians without getting any benefit. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and two-thirds of a bottle cured me. I consider the greatest cough and lung medicfae in the world;" 1 1 I Why Don t i lomescekers Come To Morrow County? Morrow county p o t!.e state of Oiegon. Vn n iles in v, idth, liwve enor lzed country village. O Kvery year w e gn w about 1 ,000,000 buehels. ol wheat. llnsiH worm aoou Wa ba?G about 2"25 00 head of sheep worth nbotit Jf.r)(l2,000, h ft er slieiuing wbi!e tbe 'ool from th 'PC eheep will sell for !f;H)0,000. Then there are horses and cattle waclf: at cast a ha f million more. These are the main items In the wealth producers. t It don't take mu :h figuring when you look at these figures to come to the conclusion that Morro v mnty people make some money. We have the soil, the climate and tho guoda to make good. Morrow county's din-ate Is pleasant and healthful. Morrow county peop e are prosperous. Morrow county people haye money. Here in the town of Hep tier we have two banks. The First National in publish ed statements shows deposits running from half a mil. ion dollars up. Both bank have a big business. Heppner can show tha largest bank deposits of any town o its size in the Northwest, and it should be remembered that Lexington, nine milet away, and lone, 18 miles from Heppner both have banks doing a good business. This looks like Morrow county people have money. But look here, almost half the population of Morrow county reside in the towns. This leaves only between 3,000 and 4,000 people in a territory 75 miles in length by 35 miles in wealth. Dou't you think there is room for more people. Ten or twelve years ago land in Morrow county went begging at from $100 to 8250 for a quarter section. Five years ago this land had looked up to $6 00 and if7.00 per acre. Today this land is worth $15 per acre with a few of the choicest lots sotae times bringing $20 per acre. Now the old timers are wondering why ttiey did not take advantage of this cheap land. They could have made a barrel of monev. Over in the adjoining county of Umatilla wheat lands today are worth from $50 to $75 an acre. Ou the other side of us is Sherman county with wheat lands selling from $25 up. Here we are between with just as gooii land land at $15 per acre. Our lands are sure to go up in price. In a few years the people here will be aaain wondering why they did not buy some of this $15 land. The proportion is the same now as it was a few vears ago, but it takes more money. Lust year and year before a number of good farm irs bought wheat lands ami paid fur it with tbe first crop. Come to Morrow county and investigate this land business.

A call has been Issued to all live stock associa tions, live stock producers and members to attend the tenth annual convention of the American National Livestock Association, to be held at the Broadway Theater, Denver, Col., January 22 and 23, 1007. Many important questions are to be considered, among them inferior railroad eervice, from which shippers have suffered so disastrously and tor which the association has already taken vigorous steps to relieve. The question of securing access to the markets of Continental Europe for the surplus of livestock products will also come up. The eubjects of forest reserves and graz ing lands are also so be considered. Other matters to be discussed are meat inspection, nanitalion, belter service from stocky? rd compani- s ; the suits now pending before the Interstate Com merce Commission lelative to certain livestock rates and numerous other sub jects of interest will be fully debated. All railroads have granted reduced rates. Two cases of an unknown dipease among cattle have been lepoi ted within the past two weeks in Grant county. This disease a fleets the eyes and often causes blindness. One case is reported trom Henry Fedler's ranch the other is from William's Carter place east of Long Creek. The lii-eape is accom pained by a frothing at the mouth and causes the eyes to turn white gradually producing blindness. This may not be a new complaint b:it the people of this county are not acquainted with it and are at a loss to know how to treat tbe trouble. It does not appear to be spreading among tie herds of tbe ranchers who own the two beeves mentioned. Long Creek Ranger. l 4-867. Timber Land, Act June 3, 1818. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
