Plans whioh were started for the celebration of Milton's annual straw berry day, at a meeting of the Pro gressive association held in Allianoe hall on Monday night, are progressing, and it is thought by the next meeting all of the preliminary work will nave been completed. It is proposed this year to celebrate on a more extensive scale than ever ' before. ' Besides an excellent literary and " musical pro gram, a big borse show'wil form a ' part of the festivities.' Tbis was last year nn important part of the porgram, but arrangements are ' being made to make it muon better than on last sea son, horses being entered from all the towns in Umatilla county, and many across the line in Washington. ' ' Ignore Sales Days. Aooording to' reports coming from Echo, it seems that Umatilla 'sheep men will not generally observe the selling days fixed by the State Wool Growers' association. It is reported that R. K.' Stanfield has sold "his entire" dip of wool to Burke & Green. The price can not be learned, though it is known that large sales, have already been made from this section at 17o for the poorer grades of sand wool. This sale is rather significant, for Mr. Stanfleld is one of the largest sheep men in the county, reported to be run ning over 20,000 head. The Stanfleld sheep are now being sheared, and the wool will be delivered as fast as it is clipped. Sieze Switzler Island. The well known Switzler island on the Columbia liver, along the south east boundary line of Kliokitat county has recently been taken possession of by two squatters, who have discovered that the island was unsurveyed gov ernment land. J. R. Switzler was supposed to be the owner of thejsland, which has been held and farmed for 25 years. It contains 200 acres of rich orohard and garden land, and has a bouse, barn, orchard, large alfalfa acreage, and other Improvements. Switzler will make a fight to regain possession. The property is valued at $6000. Baptist Church Notes. Servioes on Snnday as usual. Last Sunday's, attendance at Bible sohool was the best of the year.

K. Wilson and wife of 1280 aores of land near Milton for $85,000. The land is in a fine fruitgrowing section. The sale repre sents' the movement that is general over the county, of the division of the larger farms into smaller ranohes to meet the demands for homes from the larger number of settlers that art) com ing into this seotion.
