Montana remains at the bead of the
wool-producing states of the Union.
The report of the acting statistician of
the department of agriculture shows
bat this state has more sheep than any
other state in the Union.
Tbe report indicates that Montana
has 5,270,063 sheep, with an average
value of $2.31 a bead when tbe estimate
was made.
Wyoming is second with 4,602,658
head, with an average value of $2.58
head. New Mexico is third with 3,860,-
466, with an average value of $1.93
bead. Idaho is fonrth on the list with
3,688,034, $2.21 a head.
Nest in order are Ohio, Oregon, Cal
ifornia and Michigan, each above the
2,000,000 mark. Colorado. Texas, Wis
consin, New York and Arizona each
have more than 1,000,000.
The most interesting thing about the
sheep census is tbe fact that the 51,'
630,144 bead in the country shows
decrease of 12,334,732 bead.
That Is a shrinkage in numbers that
is highly important to flock raisers all
over tbe land. Tbe total number of
aheep reported in tbe United States
last year was 63.964,876. -

Sheep Killed In Crook.
Tbe first depradation as a result of
the conflicting territories occupied by
the cattlemen and sheep owners in
Crook county, occurred last Monday,
when 65 sheep belonging to Allie Jones
were shot and killed on Mill creek by
masked men, who threatened a greater
slaughter if the band was not removed
from that locality.
Tbe killing happened on the west side
of Mill creek, the herd of sheep being
in charge of Tom Paine, who was sur
prised and nnable to offer any resistance
when the attack occurred.
This first outbreak against the sheep
msrks tbe first step in tbe range diffi
cutties which are likely to be encounter
ed during the coming season. The scene
of the killing is in the district in which
an effort was made a short time ago to
establish lines. Tbe territory was visit
ed by a party of sheep owners from An
telope, and it was belieted that matters
could be satisfactorily adjusted between
them and tbe cattlemen in that part of
the county. But nothing definite was
decided upon and it is expected that the
old lines will hold good this year.

Cinnabar In Crook County.
Judging from the present indications,
Crook county's cinnabar deposits, which
are being slowly unearthed on Lookout
mountain, about28 miles east of Prine-
vllle, bid fair to surpass that of any other
quicksilver properties tn the world. That
the ore is there in both quantity and
richness Is beyond all reasonable doubt,
and the development work which is now
taking place under the supervision of
Levi Tillotson, of Portland, and II. Cram
of Prlnevllle, the two principal owners of
the Lookout Mining Company, has shown
up ledges of ore ranging from 8 to 40
feet in width, and tbe vein which is now
being pierced discloses a value of f 227
per ton.
This is the lsst and best assay which
has been made, the mine owners In the
past bsvlng made asaays of ore taken out
at intervals of four to sis feet during the
progress of the tunnel. These latter
assays nave ranged from sis to 14 per
cent mercury, and none of them has fal
len below two per cent, the value first
struck in tbe surface ore.

Of Crops Not as Promis

SHEEP KILLED IN CROOK
Echo Sugar Beet Crop Doing
Well, and Indications ; are
Favorable for a Good Yield.
U. S. Department of agriculture, clim
ate and crop bulletin of the weather
bureau, Oregon section, for the week end
ing Monday, June 20.
The drouthy conditions prevailing
throughout tbe State were parctially re
lieved by scattering showers during the
latter part of the week; but, as a rule,
the amount of precipitation was not suf
ficient to do much good, and more rain
is badly needed for all crops.
Tbe extremely dry spell has had a
damaging effect on spring grain, and in
some sections it will be light in yield.
Fall wheat and barley have headed nice
ly and a good yield of both of these
cereals is promised.
Haying Is progressing rapidly under
the favorable weather conditions; the
crop will be light, especially west of the
Cascades. The first cutting of alfalfa has
nearly all been secured in good condi
tion; the yield waa above the "average
and the quality generally good. Pastur
age continues in fine condition, but is
beginning to dry up some. Stock is fat
and the supply of milk in the dairy dis
tricts continues abundant.
Gardens and root crops are making
slow growth owing to the dryness of the
soil. Early potatoes arc doing, well and
will soon be resuiy for marketing.' Cora
has not made" much - advancement owing
to a lack of warm weather.
The strawberry season is drawing to a
close. Raspberries and Kentish cherries
are ripening nicely and promise fairly
good yields. Apples are doing well, but
pears, prunes and peaches' con tin ne on
even. " " ' '
Cattle Poisoning.
J. N. Thompson, a successful farmer
and cattle man of this county, this week
met with the loss of 20 head of fine
cattle. Tbe vaqueroa were driving
bunch of 300 bead from Mr. Thompson'
mountain range across to the Salmon
river country, and when just beyond
tbe Goldman camp, at the head
Twenty-Mae creek, tbe berders saw
one of the animals drop down and die
within 10 minutes, in a short time)
others died. The animals weald
walking along nicely when without
warning, begin to stagger and drop
down and die In a few minutes. Th
cause is supposed to be wild parsnip
which the cattle ate.
One of the employes arrived in town
yesterdsy and reports that five more
the cattle have died and four are ml
sing. It is surmised that they bave
also died. Dayton Courier Press.
Sugar Beet Crop.
E. W. McComas has returned from
Echo and Switzler's Island, where he
has been in company with F. S. Bram- '
well, of LaGrande, looking over the
sugar beet prospects. Tbe beets in both
localities have been thinned oat and are
growing rapidly, and there is every in
dication of a heavy crop, says the E. O.
It will be necessary to cultivite them
from time to time during the rest of
the season, and the water will soon have
to be turned into' the fields. So far .
there has been no irrigation, but tbe
hot weather is fast taking the moisture
oat of the ground and artificial irrigati
on will have to be used from this time..

Strawberry Market Glutted.
On account of the Eastern market
being overstocked it bas ceased to be
profitable to ship strawberries from
Hood River and growers are now selling
their berries to the Davison Fruit Com
pany for canning. The cannery has a
capacity of 10,000 cans a day, and is
receiving all the berries it can handle.
Growers are paid from one to three
cents a pound for their berries accord

A Missouri editor who went' on a
