The date of the Heppner wool
sales has been postponed from
June 18 to June 28.
Owing to the fact that the first
sales were postponed made the
second sale come too soon there
after in adhering to the dates
first arranged.
The postponement will 'make
the sales more satisfactory by giv
ing tbe r6wers more time to get
in their wool.
