HALF MILLION OF
I
AMOUNT RECEIVED BY WAL
LOWA COUNTY GROWERS
FOR SHEEP AND WOOL.
Fully 40,000 sheep have been or
will be shipped from this county this
spring and summer, and a conserva
tive estimate of the total returns,
made by one of the leading sheep
growers of the county, J. H. Dobbin
of Prairie Creek, is $140,000. To this
total will be added the thousands of
dollars that will be paid Wallowa
county growers for lambs this fall
and the $300,000 for wool, All told,
the sheep and woM business will
bring over a half million dollars into
the county this year. That's some
money.
Mr. Dobbin hai already shipped
from Enterprise 4200 head of sheep
to F, E. Runner at Billings, Mont,
and Will Stickney 1100 head at the
same time to the same man. Falco
ner Bros, have sent out 4000 head
to North Yakima parties. A band
of 3600 of Dobbin's growing are
being driven out to Elgin for Pinney
of Wyoming, and Mr, Pgbbjn alBo has
1680 head and Falconer Bros. 4300
head being driven by way of the
Snake river to Butterfleld of Weiser.
R. F. Stubble:isld has sold 3000
head to Salvadore of North Yakima
and another train load of 7000 head
will be sent to Runner at Billings
by Kernan and Issm. F, P, McCulIy
will ship 3300 two year olds to Chi
cago, and E. R. Bowlby will drive
a band of about 2000 ewes and lambs
to Idaho, they having been sold to
a Boise man. C, P, Ragsdale and
M. E. Hotchkiss have shipped 2000
to North Yakima, and E. A. Ander
son shipped out 2000 a couple of
months ago,
This is a seasoi of wonderful pros
perity for the sheep men. Wool
brought the highest average price
ever received in here, though if U
had been held for a sales day the
general opinion is that the growers
would have received from one to
three cents more per pound. The price
of sheep is way up and seems to
kosp a climbing, all the markets
east and west making new high
records.

Harman Resigns.
The regular morning trln took
out Thursday the long string of
boarding cars of the construction
garg that had been working in this
vicinity for the last six weeks, also
the Greeks composing the work gang.
This was the last of the construction
crews except a em ft 11 number at- Los
tine who left Saturdaj, The road
is finished as far as the construct
ion department Is concerned and the
part from Lostlne to Joseph will be
turned over to the operating depart
ment, The part between Lostine and
Elgin was turned over several weeks,
ago.
Agent Harman Resigns.
Station Agept J, G, Harman has re
signed his position here and with Mrs.
Harman will leave the last of the
month for Orange, Cal, near which
Mr. Harman recently bought a small
fruit and nut ranch. They expect to
make tbat their home.
Mr. Harman has been in the rail
road business for over 20 years and
looks forward with a great deal of
pleasure to escaping from the hard
toil of an agent to the free and In
dependent life of a fruit raiser. He
has worked here from 16 to 18 hours
a day, most of the time without a
helper. The work is far too hard
for one man, the volume of business
here being equal to that of any other
two towns this side of Elgin, the
trainmen say.
BIG CROWDS SEE SHOW.
The town was crowded with people
Thursday who came to see Wiede
mann's WJ'.d West show, which did
not arrive until the afternoon train.
The employes hust'.ed up the tent, a
street parade was given and a per
formance pulled off before supper.
Every seat was taken and at the night
show also. It was a good perform
ance of the kind, and contrary to
advance reports there were no swindl
ing games connected with It.

A Hilarious, But Sensible Fourth.
"We Rublconlans always prided
ourselves on the fact that Rubicon
was tho most patriotic town In the
'state,' says a citizen in Woman's
Home Companion for July. "A hardy
individual from Capua once asked for
proof. He was snapped up promptly
by a leading citizen.
- 'Proof, eh?' said he. 'Why, Just
come out here with me and I'll show
you proof that would convince a man
from Missouri. See that ruin down
there at the corner Just a chimney;
sticking up in the air? That wi
Doctor Hawkins' fine residence. Cost
ten thousand dollars. The fire started
from a fire-cracker last Fourth. Notice
the foundation back of that large
house over there? Fine barn burned
up there the same day another fire
cracker. See the gap in that row of
cottages down across the railroad T
Three of them went up two years
ago fire-crackers or something. Look
at the Methodist Church there on
the comer without a steeple. Maybe
you'd think the wind blew it off, but
you'd be wrong Fourth o' July got
it and we had hard work to save
the school-house. I could show you
lots more if I bad time. And thon
walk about and look at our people.
Why, man alive, there's fewer eyei
and ears and fingers, not to mention
arms and legs, in proportion to the
population than in any other town
you can find all gone from fire-crack
ers, or toy pistols, or bursting can
nons, or in some such patriotic way.
Your town of Capua isn't in it, I tell
you. Yon Hon roaring In bis den may
be all right to his way, but 1 the

Includes a parade, a nolse-festlval for

In the Woman's Home Companion

L. D. Roberta of Chlco his re
turned from Ho.nestead whore he
went a few inoatbs ago to look after
a band of sheep he had bought.
Mr. Roberta reports lively times
both at Iron Dyke and CopporfleUl,
the latter place being about five
miles above Iron Dvke, and at pre
ent the worst pla.-e In the state
without doubt. Gambling and its at
tendant vleei flojrUh unchecked,
while you often have to get out and
drag drunken men out of the way of
your team as you drive up street.
Trains are now running only to
Roblnette, at the mouth of the Powder
river, but the graling Is nearly
completed to Homestead. It was re
ported while Mr. Roberts was over
there that contracts for construc
tion as far ai FUtaburg had been let,
but this was afterwards contradicted.
It is the general impression over
there, said Mr. Roberts, that the
road will be expended on down the

unanswered question.
