W. J. FUNK & CO.
HALF MILLION OF
DOLLARSJHIS YEAR
AMOUNT RECEIVED BY WAL
LOWA COUNTY GROWERS
FOR SHEEP AND WOOL.
Fully 40,000 sheep have been or
will be shipped from this county tills
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 woil - business will
bring over a half million dollars Into
the county this year. That's some
money.
Mr. Dobbin ha? 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 baud
of 3600 of Dobbin's "growing are
being driven out to Elgin for Plnney
of Wyoming, and Mr, Dobbin also has
1680" head and Falconer Bros. 4500
head being driven by way of the
Snake river to Butterfleld of Welser.
R, F, Stubble, leld has sold 3000
I head to Salvadore of North Yakima,
and another train load of 7000 head
will be sent to Runner at Billing
by Kernan and Isom. F. D. McCulIy
will ship 3300 two yer 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
Bon shipped out . 20Q0 a couple of
months ago, ' .
This li a seastn of wonderful pros-pe-lty
for the nhesp inm. Wool
brought the highest average price
ever received In hove, though If H
had bean 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
ke3p a climbing, all the markets
east and weit making new high
records.'

A Hilarious, But 8sns;blo Fourth.
"We Rublconlans always prided
ourselves on the fact that Rubicon
was 'tho most patriotic town In the
state,'1 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 l'Il show
you proof that would convince a man
from Missouri. - See that ruin down
there at the corner Just a chimney
sticking up In tie air? That was
Doctor Hawkins' fine residence. Cost
ten thousand dollars. The fire Parted
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 a.ros the railroad?
Three of them went up two years
ago fire-crackers or something. Look
at the Methodist Church there on
the corner without a irteeple. 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 scbool-house. I could show you
lots more If I bad time. And than
walk about and look at our people.
Why, man a'lve, there's fewer eye
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-crackers,
or toy pistols, or bursting can
nons, or in some such patriotic way.
Your town of Capua Isn't in it, 1 tell
you. Yon lion roaring In his den may
be all riftht in his way, but If the
old Grecian spirit isn't frozen In
your veins you must see that for
pure patriotism Rubicon leads the
world.' The man from Capua shrunk
away."
But the Rublconlans have at last
evolved a sensible celebration, which
includes a parade, a noise-festival for
the little boys, athletic games, a lunch
eon, dancing, and closes with fire
works In the evening. As told about
In the Woman's Home Compantan
it is a very attractive Fourth.

L. D. Roberts of Chieo ha? re
turned from Homestead where ho
went a few mouths ago to look after
a band of sheep he had bought.
Mr. Roberts reports lively times
both at Iron Dyke and Copperfleld,
the latter place being about five
miles above Iron Dyke, and at pre:
ent the worst plae In the state
without doubt. Cambling and Its at
tendant vices flo.irl.4ti unchecked,

drag drunken men out of the way of
your team as yo.i diive up street.
Trains are now running only to
Robinette, 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 as Pittsburg had been let,
but this was afterwards contradicted.
It Is the general Impression over
there, said Mr. Roberts, that the
road will be exendel on down tho
river to Lewlston, but when is an
