The sheepmen of Crook county met at Prineville one day last week, and organ ized a Stockmen's Protective Association agreeing to pay a bounty of for the scalp of every coyote killed in Crook county, and the county court will also pay the same amount for each scalp. When the sheepmen of this section or ganize, the pesky coyote will have a tough time of it in Gilliam, Crook and Wasco counties. As soon as all the sheepmen get back from the mountains they will organize at Antelope. Herald. It it shown by an analysis of census figures that more than half the men In twenty-eight of the forty-nine states and territories are engaged in agricul ture, and that farming is the leading pur suit in all of them except Mew Hamp shire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Cnnnetlcut and Mew Jersey, where man ufacturing and mechanical arts take the lead. There are In the United States 9, 000,000 men engaged In agriculture to 9, 220,000 in other forms of business. The steady growth of this country Is suffi cient proof that Intelligent farming pays. A numlier of our citizens met at the clerk's office Monday evening and dis cussed the advisability of organizing a brass band at Condon. Some powerful speeches were made as to which would be the best manner in which to organ ize: whether It would beet for the town to own and control the band instruments or for each member to pay an equal amount and lot the band as an organisa tion own the internments and be under Its own control.! We belle vo the latter wat decided upon as the best, and with that end In view a paper hat been cir culated and the names secured of those here who are best qualified to become members, who are willing to bear their burden of expense in maintaining the band. As the band will be of general benefit to the town, a number of our clt Izene, outside of the mewliers, will also contribute toward the enterprise. The instruments will perhaps ordered about next week. ' Within the last ten yeara labor-saving machinery has retired a great many la borers.'

They had to travel by wagon, and, as the father would have large sums of money about him It wa often a prob lem where he could stay safely for the night. "My boy," the old man used to say, "it Is safe to stay at a house where there are flowers in the window." La Grande Gazette: Many a man is willing to give the news, yet he does not wish to tie published as a gossiper or newsmonger. How frequently people say, "Be careful what you say or do in the presence of a newspaper man,' or your name will get into the newspaper. Few people hold more secrets or guard them better than the editors or report ers. Should they tell one-half they knew the world would be in a turmoil. Any newspaper man could get himself killed twice a week if he should tell the whole truth at all times. The girl who Indulges in the dizzy walla will bear with interest that the heads of Mew York and Washington society have decided that "sitting out" a waltz next winter will be more fashion able than dancing the only difference is you sit instead of dance. The man's right arm is around the girl's waist while bis left hand holds her right band; Her left band Is placed loving ly on his shoulder, and all you have to do is listen to the music. Now that is something like it. It is a nuisance to have to gallop a mile or two to get a little hug or two. A room full of people sitting around on sofas buyging to mus ic ia mora to our notion. Exchange. Salem Statesman : A lamp that burns 600 hours by having a little sand in a tumbler or other receptacle for the wires to run through an accidental discovery tool Of what is not that wonderful thing, or no thing, electricity, capable? When Edison examiued the new discov ery he was surprised. He thought be knew something of electricity, but this rather fetched him. The discoverer gave him a handful of sand, but keeps his secret as yet. He says it is tire sim plest thing in the world, and it happen ed through an accidental spilling of some acid over some sand on which were two wires crossed. The truth is, we are but just on the outer edge of great dis coveries. There were some very anxious and badly scared people in Condon Tuesday. About 10 o'clock a band of cattle were driven in a northerly direction over the hill from town. The editor's two little boys, aged 6! and 3 years, and little Alvin Wilcox, aged 6$, were playing to gether and childlike they followed the cattle over the hill,- unnoticed. There being no bouses or people within sight, the little tots were as badly lost on the prairie as a needle in a haystack. They were not missed by their parents for over an hour, and no time was lost in institu ting a search for the little wandert-rs. The entire country for several miles around was searched carefully by parties on horn-hack, but no trace of'theru could be found. Mono but parents who have had a similar experience can realize the awful anguish that overcomes a parent in such a case, with night fast approach ing. Ibu matter began to assume a very serious aspect, and as the whole town was almut to join in the hunt, late in the af ternoon, the glad news was received that oneot tho hunters, Kev. Arthur Hovse, had found the lost trio about three miles south of town just the opposite direc tion from which thev started out. The little fellows had evidently traveled five miles or more and were almost farced out and so sleepy and hungry that they coo. M scarcely wiggle along. As a result of the exposure the 3-year-old has a bad Mie uf croup. Lone Rock Rlplets. Mrs. O. C. Stevens of The Italles and Mrs. F. B. Stevens are visiting friends here. A great many sheep are coming out of the mountains now, going to their w iu ter range. B.H.Robinson and wife of Arlington have been visiting Bob's folka here the last week. He ia just getting over his long sick spell. Mrs. Clarke, who had recently been so near death's door, is now considered out of danger, with good prospects for com plete recovery, we are pleased to state. Mrs. Katie Kehtn Smith, the secular preacher, died of typhoid fever at John Day last week and was buried at Hay stack. Several Lonerockers attended the burial. The ooM squally weather that we had for some time wound npthe middle of last week with a Unit an inch of snow, since which time the weather bas been fine. On the mountains the snow was about 4 inches deep and on the headwa ters of the John Day about 10 inches. : Jko. Dob.

The census figures show that Lancas ter county, Pa., Is the leading county of the United States in value of its agri cultural products, the total being f 7.657 790. Next comes St. Lawrence county, N. Y., with t8.05l.160; then Chester county, Pa., with 1(5,863,800; then Wor cester county, Man., With $5,49,420, and then Bucks county, Pa., with (5, 441,870. It will surprise the general reader to learn that the five counties ranking highest in this respect are not in the great agricultural empire of the west, but in the great manufacturing region of the east three of tbeui. in one state. This is due to the fact that the east ern farmers manage their affairs in a different way from that which is follow ed in the west. Their farms are com paratively small as a rnle, and they cul tivate them thoroughly, thereby obtain ing the beet results. Then they are also economical and careful to utilize every thing they produce, whereas the west ern farmers, generally speaking, waste almost as much as they save, because of their larger farms and loose methods that come from trying to accomplish too much.' A good deal of their waste is unavoidable, of course, since the great staples must be extensively raised in order to yield a satisfactory return ; but it might be materially reduced by the adoption of a better system of farming. The average western farmer is at a dis advantage, furthermore,, by reason of his obstinate reliance upon a single crop. He is wedded to corn or. wheat, "a .the southern farmer ia to : cotton and' will j not see how much better i 'would be for him to diversify - hit .proifuctsfand' in crease his income V1' adding ia , the sources from which ''itjisdw1ed.'

A well-to-do and good-natured old "Bach, "w ho dosn't live 1000 miles from Clem, requests as to publish the follow ing for his benefit: "Backward, torn backward oh time in thy flight, feed me on gruel again just for to-night. I am so weary of sole leather steak, petrified doughnut, vulcanized cake; oysters that sleep in the watery bath, butter as strong as Goliath or Oath; weary of paving for what I can't eat, chewing np rubber and calling it meat. Backward, turn back ward for weary I am; give me a whack of my grandmother's jam ; let me drink milk that baa never been skimmed; oh let me eat butter whose hairs have been trimmed ; let me once more have an old fashioned pie, and then I'll be willing to curl up and die." A Plain Case of Contempt. The judge of a Western court in order to secure a safer and more civilized con dition of affairs in the courtroom, asked the twelve jurymen end the ten attor neys present to place their pistols in a pile in the corner of the room, but there seemed to be some hesitancy in comply ing with the request and the Judge in sisted. "If your Honor will put his down first," suggested tbe foreman of the jury, I guess the balance of us will ful ler suit." , "Certainly, gents," replied his Honor, and laid liis'gun down in the corner. In a few minutes all the others had done the same, excepting the sheriff and his deputy, who were not included, and twenty-three pistols were reposing peacefully 'on tbe floor. "Now.gents," said his Honor, sudden Iv whipping ont a gun, "the first man that goes near that pile gits it in the neck," , In an Instant ever? man's hand went to bis other hip pocket, and as his Honor dived behind the deek tweniy-lwo hullpta wmm tiiMHiBh tne winnow oacs of where he was sitting, and twenty-two men were waiting for him to stick bis head up, but he did nothing so rash. "Put up them guns," he yelled; "put up them guns, or I'll fine every g d one of vou for contempt of court."
