Frank Lee, the veteran wool
buyer who has had years of ex-
periencj in buying and handling
wools gives out to the Gazette
some good advice to tne growers in
the handling and care of their
wools after shearing.
"In the first place," said Mr.
Leo' "I would advise the growers
to be more careful in the sacking
of their wool. Too much dirt and
rubbish is allowed to go into the
sacks with the wool. When the
wool is brought to the warehouses
each sack is cut open and carefully
looked over by the board of grad
ers prior to baling. Everything is
noted and kept for future refer
ence.
"I would also caution the gnw-
ers to be more careful in tying up
the fleeces as they are taken from
the sheep's back," continued Mr.
Lee. If the fleeces are not prop-
erly tied up they will fall apart
and cannot help but present a bad
appearance which is detrimental
to the grower.
"Take for instance, the wool
sold by Nat Webb at the recent
sales which brought the lop price.
lhe fact that this wool was secure
ly and carefully tied with the
fleshy side out made it show up
well aud was one of the main rea
sons why this wool topped the
sale.
"One of the best cared for clips
that was passed upon by the grad
ers this season was the lot owned
by Newt. Whetstone. It was all
carefully tied with the fleshy side
out and the buyer could see at a
glance as to the quality and staple.
It looked so well that the buyer
could not help but be impressed
With tbeJGne condition of the wool.
Mr. Whetstone has one of the best
arranged plants that I have seen
anywhere.
"Machine sheared wool is pref
erable to the hand sheared wool.
It can be handled in better shape,
and the fact that is longer makes
it more desirable."

HAPPY HOOLIGAN
SENT TO ASYLUM
Has Tramped the Streets
Day and Night.
Mark D. Skinner, better known
as "Happy Hooligan" or "Barnum
& Bayley" was taken in charge by
Sheriff Shutt and Marshal Gur
dane, Monday and placed in the
county jail, it being believed that
he was not of sound mind.
bkmDer came here about two
weeks ago end claimed that he
had been working for the O. R. &
N. Co. He has kept almost con
stantly on the move, and for sever
al nights did'not ' i bed.
He had a bank be ok showing
that he had mouev in a Sr.lt Lake
savings bank. He' went to the
Bank of Heppner and because he
conld not get money on demand
made threats against the bank
officials.
He attempted to steal a revolver
from Minor & Co., but was appre
hended and the gun was taken
from him by A. W. Goodman be
fore he got out of the store. He
walked to Lexington several times
and seemed to have a mania for
dogs. Skinner was examined be

tendant from Salem.
Oregon's new weed law, drawn
and introduced by Representative
Barrett, of Athena is to be strictly
enforced in Umatilla county, ac
cording to action taken bv the
Umatilla county court. The wheat
and grain fields Rre to ba kept
clear as far aa possible of Russian
thistle, Canadian thistle, white
mustard atd cockle burr.
The new law ia far reaching and
if rigidly enforced will be a serious
problem for all Morrow county
farmers who have weeda on their
farms that come under the pro
visions of the law.
lhe law makes it compulsory
for the destruction of the weeds
named in the law and for all who
neglect to do this it is possible for
a lot of trouble to be stirred up.
Under the provisions of the law
it is the duty of every road super.
visor to ascertain whether or not
there is in his district any Russian
thistle, Canada thistle, Chinese
thistle, white mustard, cocklebur,
or silver salt bush, and before anv
of the weeds have shed bloom or
commenced to form seed, the road
supervisor must serve notice in
writing upon the owner or occu
pant of the lands, giving notice of
the name of tne weeds to be re
moved and a description of the
land upon which the weeds are
growing. Three copies of the
notices are to be posted on the
lands. After 10 days notice if the
owner or occupant fails to destroy
the weeds then it is the duty of
the road supervisor to do the work
of destruction, employing as much
help as needed. The expense in
curred will constitute a first lien
on the land. The supervisor will
A
be allowed a salary of S3 per dav
for doing the work.
The law provides that if any
person or persons or corporation
shall knowingly permit any of the
weeds to go to seed on improved
or unimproved, enclosed or unen
closed lands shall constitute a mis
demeanor with a severe penalty.
The road supervisor is liable to
a heavy fine for allowing weeds to
grow along the public roads.
Plenty of moisture aud gtrlS
raining is the weather record f;sx
the week.
Fto the entire month of Juijs
the weather has been favorable fbx
growing and now that a good soar
ing rain lias fallen all crops htjm
flattering.
Reports from all ovsr Moires
county are that the crops are sx
celleut.
Grass is now good andtheraEgrw
will be benefitted by the inoistaUa.
Hay harvest which has just c-csa-menced
in the northern pari 2
the county will be retarded 6ora&
what by the rains, however tie-i
is no damage. The first cutihsjs
of alfalfa will ba a little late
mg to the moisture and eo,&D
weather which keeps the alfalfa
growing making it later to ripens
The fruit crop will be aboESt
average.
