J. U Gray, proprietor of Bonny
View stock farm just west of Host,
who is now living- in Princville,
last Thursday brought from Shan'j
ko the registered Hereford ball
calf Fulfillment, which this fall won
many first prizes at the state and
county fairs held in tho Northwest.
The Journal says it cost Mr. Gray
ulwut ?4oo to get the animal to
Princville, express charges in
cluded Mr. Gray first saw the calf at the
state fair at Salem iu September,
where it was listed for sale at $500.
He at once opened negotiations for
its purchase, telling the owner he
was willing to pay a reasonable
price but ndt $500. At first the
original owner would uot sell for
less than that figure, and shipped
the cajftq Spokane, where it was
exhibited at the Spokane county
stqck show, and was given first
hotiors. .Then a sale was effected
and the calf was shipped to Sham
ko by express.
Had the Crook county rancher
not purchased the animal just when
be did it would have been shipped
to Chicago for the International
stock show, aud Its new home here
is a distirict acquisition in the stock
line of this section.
The calf was born in January,
and will be used for breeding pur
poses next spring.
Andrew iob!c of Prinevillc and
other experts who have seen and
examined the calf say it is the
finest animal they have ever seen.
Rabbit Drive on Acency Plains.
Tho first rabbit drive ever made
on Agency Plains will be under
taken by the farmers of tint sec
tion December 14 and preparations
arc ucing rnaue to insure tne suc
cess of the drive. A lafrgc killing
corral will be built with wings ex
tending a quurtcrof a mile on each
.side of the cpfral so that the rab
bits can be driven into the corral,
2-foot wire netting being used for
the wings and 4-foot netting for the
corral. The drivers will assemble
early Monday morning, December
14, at A. Monucr's farm, and the
drive will start at the north end of
Agcncy Plains and cover a large
territory south and east of that
point. No dogs or guus will be
allowed. The Pioneer-says that

the defect was remedied almost
$oon as it it became: known to flu
Uaptist preacher. t'pon Mr
Moore's return from Ucnd Monda
his attention was called by sevca
citizens to the fact that the smallc
wheels of the vehicle were both on
the whip side, while the larger
wheels adorned but did not improve
the opposite or larboard side. Be
tug a true son of old Missotjn, Mr
Moore had to be "shown," apd m
this he was readily accommodated
He quickly perceived the dropsical
appearance of the rig, and this in a

the wheels became mixed as long
