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

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. And whereve-

thc sheep goes he enriches the laud.
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

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.

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.
