grown. Every anticipation by buy
ers aud heavy dealers and the trade
and commercial publications, is
that there is to be a boom next year
in the wool trade in all parts of the
world, and the manufacturers are
in the lists ibis early to anticipate
the time when wool will be hard to
get aud then at almost prohibitive
prices.
Further than this, wool is selling
now in St Paul for 20 cents per
pound— also of uext year’s clip.
Four buyers of sheep arrived at
the Hotel Pendleton a few days ago
and immediately scattered through
out Eastern Oregon in search of
sheep. Other buyers are known to
have arrived from different parts of
the country before and 'Since, and
it is further known that it is almost
impossible for them to find what
they want. The four Montana men
announced when they came that
they want 10,000 yearling ewes and
breeders generally, and failing to
find their first choice in numbers
to suit them they will buy range
6heep of all classes.
Five weeks ago, at Shaniko, year
ling ewea were held at $1.75. Two
weeks ago they advanced to $2.25,
¡nd it is known that at this time
some of the seepmen are actually
holding out for $2 25 per head for
culls of yearling weathers. All the
time it is possible that some of the
shespmen may overreach and fall
down. At the same time any con
siderable reaction from the present
tendency for prices to go upward
and Stay at a stiff' price is hardly
possible in the opinion of the most
experienced ar.d successful sheep
men of Umatilla county.
The situation in the interior is
accentuated in favor of the owners
of sheep by ths phenominal fine
fall range and abundance of feed
for winter, which are portents of a
fine wool crop grown at a minimum
of expense; and to this prospect is
coupled the universal belief that
uext year will be a year of good
prices for the wool.
Tbe J. D. Wood Company of
Sait Lake, one of the heaviest sheep
firms west of the Missouri river,
writes to a local firm of sheepmen
asking for prices on 10,000 yearling
ewea. The reply did not quote any
prices, because the sheep are not in
Umatilla county at any price. The
Wood company wants ewes that
are one-half Merino and tbe other
half either Cotswold or Shropshires.

for Anything in his Line.
Prairie City is to have a bank. It
will be opened and ready to transact
a general business about December
15th. M A Butler, of Portland, after
thoroughly going over the situation
here and making a careful exami
nation of the business interests of
Prairie City and the country trib
utary reached the decision, that
conditions here justified the org
anization of such an institution and
the initial steps were taken toward
the perfection of the organization.
The bank will be a private instiu-
tion with a capital stock of $25,000.
About one half of the stock has been
subscribed by the local people and
the rest has been taken by Portland
capital. The active, actual control
of the band has not been definitely
arranged yet. It is expected, how
ever, that an ex)>erienced practical
banking man will, at any rate, at
the beginning have charge of the
clerical work, but the real manage
ment will be left to a local man,
whose name has not been made
public at this time
As the articles of incorporation
are still in preptration, the person-
el of the officers and directors are
not known, but it is understood
that they will be local people.
Mr. Butler will be here about the
time the bank opens and will prob
ably take actual supervision until
it has been put in regular running
order and then he will return to his
