Settlers in the vicinity of (Well have notified the county court of Klamath county that they will hereafter demand for use on their roads 50 per cent of the tax collect ed from the Odell Noad district, which the Oregon law stipulates is their privilege. The district has been paying $4,000 into the county road fund annually, but their road have been woefully neglected and are ia bad shape. T. J. Ferguson was in from Post yesterday. He says the men of hi section are getting ready for the fallycattle tide to gather beef cattle and" brand calves. The lower ridt will begin the first of next week from Farewell Bend and cover the lower desert, Bear Creek, and up to Priogle Flat. The upper rich begins August 20 and covers Cam Creek, the head of Crooked rivet and Hampton Buttes. The start will be made from Antelope Flats Journal. It is reported that the heat and the rattlesnakes in the Deschutes, canyon give the railroad workmen all kind of grief. In one camp a den of 38 rattlesnakes were en countered and the canyon is report ed to be alive with them. A rattle snake is not a very agreeable bed fellow and it is known that they have a penchant for a comfortable berth if it happens to be a cool nieht. But snakes and hot weath er will not stop the railroad. An telope Herald. A number of residents of Ante lope have complained to the state railroad commission that the train dae at Shaniko at 6:30 p. m. has been late a greater part of the time since May. It is charged that the Columbia Southern is trying to handle all its local freight business with its passenger trains; that the engines in use are old and partially disabled; that ihc trainmen are overworked, and that the company has no regard for the convenience of the traveling public or the expe dition of mail delivery. The pro prietor of the Shaniko Hotel has also entered a similar complaint, and says he has great difficulty in keeping help, due to the late hours the delayed arrival of the train makes necessary. Now that the huckleberries are ripe the Indians are on their wty to the mountains in groups, squads, parties and single, to fish, hunt and pick berries for two months. They trail along in bunches with camp luggage, tepees, etc. saddled on the pack animals in a way to frighten an automobile out of the road. The long haired bucks ride ahead, out of the dust, leaving the squaws and young Indians to look after the pack animals, build the camp fires, prepare the meals, and do the pick ing. If it wasn't for the dirty hab its of the Indians, drying the ber ries on the blankets of sore backed cayuses, etc., we might feel in clined to invest in some of this rare and otherwise delicious fruit hut the facts are sufficient to gag a per soe. Moro Observer. )Vtck Out for Wild Mustard. While out in the Powell Duties section recently we saw a few mus tard plants in a field of grain. This k a pest that should be watched very carefully and not allowed to get a foothold in tlie uena country. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound ef cure, and a few plants pulled now will save much pulling in tbe future. Keep Sheep on the Farm. Far too many farmer fail to ap preciate the value of u flock ol sheep on the average farm. There is nothing in the entire farm curri culum that returns the profits pro portionate to the work done that docs a flock of sheep. This docs not mean that n man should raise sheep to the exclusion of every thing else, but he should keep them just as he keeps some cows and some horses and other kinds of stock. It is n strange thing, hut, nevertheless, n fact, that in going through the country past farm af ter farm you will see every other domestic animal but sheep. A farmer never thinks of doing busi ness without cows, or horses, or hogs, and he ought to think the same about sheep. Two important items which weigh heavily on the credit side ol the sheep account arc the small labor cost and the large value of the manure. There is uo farm animal that utilizes us much coarse feed of low value with as little at tendant labor as dees the sheep, liven in winter, when they must be fed, a proportionately large num ber cau be taken care of in lev time than of other stock; while in summer the cows must be milked, the horses -cleaned, and the hogs fed, and the sheep picks its living, raises a lamb and grows a fleece while the farmer is tending to the rest of the stock.

It was lamb farming that replen ished the farms of Michigan which had been depleted by long year of wheat growing, ami utndc them a fertile and productive ns virgin laud. Wherever you see n farm on which i kept a good-sized flock of sheep you will see good crops, uood buildings and other Improve ments, and a procrous, progres sive farmer. The following experience of a Texas man shows the value of sheep from other viewpoints, and what he did any other farmer can do. lie says: "The way I happened to put a flock of sheep on my farm is this; Going back and forth between my town and Dallas, I noticed two ad joining farms, each showing that there was a good farmer on it; yet one was completely clean of weeds, and the other had the usual num ber. I saw two pastures: one with tcudtr grass growing and uot a weed in sight, while the other, in places, had more weeds than grass. 1 investigated, and found that both farmers were first-class workers and knew how, but one had a flock of sheep on his place, while the other had not. This set me to thinking, and I decided I would look iuto the matter. After some correspondence I purchased four teen ewes and a ram from a dealer in the stute, and began experiment ing with them. That was eighteen PURSES UP FOR v BEACH FROM SHANIKO mouths ago. I now have forty head, and am going to buy more, "I find that the sheep is valu able on the farm for its usefulness in destroying weeds, if nothing else; that the wool clip will mote than pay for the cost of the feed during the mouth when there is uo pastmc; that the trouble to keep them I comparatively noth ing, and that the increase is almost too per cent nuuuully. "Sheep, if treated kindly, arc easier handled and more easily trained than either horses, cattle or hog. With just it little effort, one cau teach then to drive or to fol low from lot to pasture, and the reverse. I think every farmer should have a small flock fur the purpose of utilizing the waste about his place, cleaning his fence rows of weeds and bushes, and enrich mg the soil. And when you con sider the two sources of profit the rule of wool and the sate of lambs, at today's prices it is clear that within m few years on most every farm there will be found a bunch of sheep. "A farm of 100 acres, with 30 acres in pasture, will easily support 100 ewes. The profit in them is too per cent annually, A trial will prove to any doubtful farmer that a flock of sheep will average him from 4 to 7 per head an nually." Sheep Breeder. Cruthetl Under SI ill-; Lnjr. Dan Orcutt of Sauk Rapids, Minn., a cousin of W. W. and Fiank Orcutt of Bend, was killed on Saturday, Aug. 7, by having six large logs roll over him. The Sauk Rapids Sentinel-Free Press tells how the accident happened us follows: "Dan, who Iim for yeara worked In the yard of the J. Nell Co., mm ataUt iti the crew unload logt (mm the car. He was 'lirakln the hooka' on one of tlie car-load preparatory to letting the loa roll off. He had contldcrable dltfii cully In niaklni; tlie break ami wa vtaudltifi pan the end of the car when llic logs auddenly ilarled to roll and lie fore he could cet back one atruck him down ami rive other rolled over him. "Several of Ilia fellow-workmen had i-ecn him im down txit were helplet un til the awful work had been tlone, They lutily carriul him to a uri;cutr office where hi wound were bandaitcd and an ambulance took him to the St- Cloud liOMiital. Hit lee were badly broken arid tlie ril were crtiihcd n that the vital orKaua were an affected that lie only tited about three hour after the accident baptwned. Hi wife and mother were with him in hi lail hour and happily he remained conxlou till witiiin a lew moment or the end." The funeral services were largely attended by the Woodmen nnd Royal Neighbor orders, of which he was a member. The deceased leaves a wife and five children to mourn their loss. He carried heavy .insurance in the Woodman lodge. The Sauk Rapids paper speaks very highly of him as a man and citizen. Livestock Barns, Oregon State Fair.
