this fund, his donation appearing on

amounts to $100, if the subscription
list is kept open that long or the
money is still needed in the famine
districts.

MOHAIR BRINGS TOP PRICE
Dallas Pool of 50,000 Pounds Sells
at 30 Cents Net to the
Grower.
The Polk County mohair pool of
50,000 pounds of hair was sold to Her
man Metzger, of Portland, Saturday,
at 30 cents a pound net to the growers,
The goat men met in Brown's Hall
In the forenoon to agree upon a plan
of selling the hair, and, after a brief
conference, decided to call for sealed
bids and to place the selling of the
pool in the hands of a committee of
five growers. President McBee ap
pointed as such committee: H. L. Fen
ton and George Richmond, of Dallas ;
Chester Gardner, of Bridgeport ; A. B.
Sloane, of Monmouth, and H. P,
Strickler, of Sheridan.
When the meeting was called to
order agaiu in the afternoon, nearly
100 growers were present to witness
the sale. Sealed bids were called for,
but the large number of buyers
present did not seem to favor that
plan of selling, and only one bid was
received. The bid was rejected by the
selling committee, and the hair was
then offered at auction. The bidding
opened at 29 cents and closed at 30
cents. Herman Metzger, of Portland,
made the 30 -cent bid, his nearest
competitor being Theodore Bernheim,
who offered 29S cents.
The selling committee then retired
to consider the Metzger bid, and, after
a brief discussion, decided to refer the
offer back to the growers without
recommendation. The bid was then
taken up In open meeting and the
growers were asked to express their
wishes in the matter. AH present
seemed to favor selling the pool pro
vided an offer of 30 cents net could be
had, otherwise to ship the mohair
direct to the Eastern mills. After
conferring with Mr. Metzger, Secretary
Fenton announced that an agreement
had been reached whereby the growers
would receive 30 cents net for the hair.
The bid was then accepted without a
dissenting voice.
The price paid by Mr. Metzger is
practically 30 cents, as the cost of
handling the pool will be about cent
a pound. The growers are well satis
fled with the price received for the
mohair, which is three-quarters of a
cent higher than was paid for other
Oregon pools this season.
The following are the figures at
which the Polk county mohair pools
have been sold since 1897 :
1897 21 cents
1898 ..30 "
1899 33 "
1900 29 "
1901 22 "
1902 ..25 "
1903 ,.H.38 "
1904.. 34 "
1905 32 "
190G 30 "
1907 30 "
It will be seen from the foregoing
figures that the average price for the
last eleven years has been 29 cents
or three-quarters of a cent less than
wns received this season.
Shearing is about finished in Polk
county, and the mohair is being deliv
ered at the various warehouses.

DEPUTY SHEEP INSPECTORS
State Inspector Lytle Appoints
Claude Lewis and George
Boothby, of Monmouth.
William H. Lytle, of Pendleton,
State Sheep Inspector for Oregon, has
appointed Claude M. Lewis and George
Boothby, of Monmouth, to be Deputy
Inspectors for Polk county. It will be
the duty of these deputies to Inspect
all sheep in the county and to super- -vise
all dipping done by the Hock
owners In future. Sheep afflicted with
scab and other diseases must be dipped
until cured.
The new stock law will be hailed
with satisfaction by the farmers, as it
removes the state quarantine and per
mits them to dip their sheep at home.
Heretofore, all sheep shipped from
the state had to be Inspected and
dipped at Portland, or other distant
shipping points, at a heavy expense
to the shipper. This inspection will
no longer be required and the dipping
will be done at home under the direc
tion of the Deputy State Inspector.
