SHEEP AND LAMB PRICES IN CYCLES OF TO 10 YEARS , ' ' Upward Trend May be Maintained For Some Tim No Lambs Imported or Exported Fairly definite eyelet In the prices of lambs and sheep have prevailed heretofore and doubtless will con tinue. These cycle:, the ' United States Department of Agriculture finds, generally run from 8 to 10 years. ' ' " In the present cycle the trend in he prices of lambs and sheep has no been upward since 1921, and the level maintained .during the last .hree years has been rather high, lo pite the fact that since 1922 the receipts of lambs and sheep at the principal markets have increased. It is evident that the demand for lamb has Increased. In, fact, the ?eneral level of lamb prices since 1921 has been appreciably , above the average price level of all com modities. . Since the United States imports shout, half Its wool, American pro ducers should be interfiled m the number of sheep in other important .hoep-producing countries. No wintry except Australia has ''in Tensed the number of its sheep treatly ,'ince the war. In Australia, however, the number of sheep has ihown a definite upward trend since !SM5. The number reported In 1927 w'as 93,000,0110, compared with '0,000.000 In 1815. A gradual Increase In the number if fheep has taken place in New Zealand and South Africa, and ap parently also In ' Argentina. Thru iata as to the number of sheep in Argentina ere not available, the trend may be inferred from the fact that that country's exports of wool have Increa ed in recent years. ' lint the number of sheep and the nroduction of wool in othrr coun tries affeel the price of lambs in the United States only as the price of wool affects the, price of lambs. This country exports and Imports very little Inmb. MEDALS CONFERRED AT TYGH Dr. Elwod and I. D. Driver Cat Membership Awards At a meeting of Tygh Valley I. O. 0.

It is unusual, in that the setting is.! not the ordinary interior, but the deck of a ship. For this special scenery is being constructed, which when completed, will present the illusion of a passenger steamer, with the hurry and bustle of the hour of railing. It was with some ' hesita tion, however, that the cast decided to invite their" friends to sail with them on the S. S. Florida, for they feared least the pangs of maldemer afflict the audience on this realistic sea voyage. The captain, however, hastened to assure them that the sea would be "like a lake" on thi. trip, and that the boat would be well supplied with life preservers to. give the timid ones confidence in his seamanship. This play was a New York suc cess for several years with Sidney Drew cast as "Billy." It is a Samuel French publication and the high royalty to be paid gives assurance that the play is not one of the trivl lal 'type. The characters are such as can.be well "depleted by High school pupil-, and the 'Seniors are showing a commendable adaptability to the exactions of their parts. The play will be given in four weeks. Watch for the date. BILLY ' Girls Study Design The girls of the sewing have spent a week itudying simpler principles of design. class ' the Al- though at first it seemed impossible to draw interesting borders and motifs with horisortal, vertical and oblique lines, after .an introduction to rhythm, balance, space division, they produced fomc simple designs I showing variety and interest. It waa brought out that good taste is a. matter of training and experience and that the first test of the beauty of an object lies in its suitability to the purpose for which it is design ed. The girla are now. undertaking a brief study of colors, their com- bination, and becomingness to the different types of personality. BILLY Rote Bushes Planted About 125 sturdy, well-trained rose bushes have been planted by Mr. Stuart and Mr. Kaiser at the . chool grounds. The shrubs are cli matiyed to this climate, as they have been takcn from some of Mr. Stuart's choice bushes. These will add to the beauty of our school ground immensely. BILLY Legend of Smith's Rocks (By a Sixth Grade Boy) y Near the city of Bend is anoint known as Smith's Rock?. , These are some giant rocks and stones on a large hill overlooking the treacherous Deschutes river. Smith waa surrounded by Indians on the rocks and they thoight they would leave him there over night and capture him in the morning. They were certain he could not get away for he was .'urroflnded on one side by Indians and on the other by the Deschutes river. , He felt certain he cbuld not climb down over the rocks to tho river and cross it. for the river was very dangerous. When darkness came Smith decided he would rather die trying to get away than be tortured. He climbed over the rocks that were very hard to get over in the day time. After climbing over rocks awhile he reached the river. He plunged in and started to Vwim across. Tho current kept pulling him down. ' He felt certain he could not get across but on ho went. The swift current took him far down the river. " He finally' landed ' after a long struggle. '" , Two great miracles had hecn per formed. None but a good swimmer could have swum the river. Smith finally made his way through 1 the darkness to hh friends. You can imagine the Indians' surprise and anger in the morning at finding their prisoner gone. This is how Smith's Rocks received their name. :',. BILLY MOVIE VAUDEVILLE. (Tho High school was well pleased that tho large crowd enjoyed ita en tertainment last Friday night.

Derthv-k circulated a petition which asked the county court to tet aside a certain proportion of the coutity market road money and ap ply it on construction of s new grade up takeover canyon. The petition asks that the road be begun near the mouth of the creek and carried up as far as , the Connolly ranch. The court members were favorable to the proposition and nc doubt will instruct that a survey of the route be made this' season so that construction of the road maj be commenced early next year. Mr. Derthick took it upon him self (to circulate the petition", se curing the signatures of nearly every rancher affected by the road Bnd nearly every resident of Mauplr thereto. He spent several days in securing the names and on Wednes day took the Ik t to the county sea' and presented it to the court. Both the county judge and Com sioner Kelly, looked upon the con struction of the road as a rea' necessity. Each of the officiaU recognizes the need of such a thor oughfare and took the matter under advisement, with an aa:urance of fa vorable action"? Mr.- Derthick has been indefati gable in his efforts to (accomplish the construction of the bakeoven road." There are a great number of farmers living contiguous to that highway, each having more or less hauling to do, over it The roa8 has never been what might be call ed a good one, being very steep in places and at others skirting deep canyons and being narrow, there fore being very dangerous. The need of a better road has long beer recognized, but this is "the first time the court has signified a willfngnes- fto go ahead and ameliorate its condi tion. , GOES INTO SHEEP BUSINESS T; Halbrook Resigns From.
