Over 3000 Head Will be Fed

OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING

Price of $3 60 per Hundred
Pounds Has Already Been
Offered, and Price Is Expect
ed to go Higher for Best Beef.
Geo. VV ..Vincent retuaned last Friday
from a week's visit to bis Butter Creek
ranch, where be had been receiving cat
tle which be la feeding for the spring
market. He sajs there will be a much
larger number of cattle fed on the creek
this year than last, and tbat the indica
tions are for a much better price nest
spring than last.1 Beside those being
fed on Butter Creek, there will be more
than a thousand head fed on the Uma
tills civer in the vicinity of Echo. There
will be something over 3000 led on But
ter Creek, as follows :

Total (
A large number of these cattle
bought in Morrow county, and nearly
all were received here, but the greater
'portion came from Grant, Crook, Gil
liam, and Wheeler counties. ' Stanfield
Bros, and J. B. Saylor of Echo, received
600 head here Tuesday from Crook and
Grant counties.
While the price paid for tbeee cattle
was low, $1.50 per hundred pounds, the
sales bave distributed a large sum of
money in the counties, besides it bas
thinned down the herds of the stockmen
to a perceptible degree, leaving them
better prepared for the winter. Though
there is plenty of feed in all sections of
Eastern Oregon, and no fears were en
tertained of a shortage, even though no
stock bad been sold, there is a feeling of
relief among stockmen because there
will be more feed for their remaining
stock which are better provided (or In
case of a very severe winter.
Mr. Vincent tells us that he has al
raady been offered $3 50 per hundred
pounds for his beef when it is ready for
the market, and that feeders are very
much encouraged over the prospects for
a better price for their beef stock the

Sunday night no one needa any sup
per; each one makes (or hia bed. Here
is where I say the emigrant gets
touch of what the different lines adver
tine as the latest and best accommoda
tions for steorage passengers. We are
huddled together like pigs, although
each one has his own bed with a little
iron rail around it. We sleep in long
rows across the ship, hardly . enough
room to crawl in for the next row above
you. Here is where we have to eat and
sleep, and if the weather is stormy
stay there like herring packed in a bar
rel. Belora midnight we are all sic
and vomiting, although I escaped that
part until morning. Sleep? there is no
use trying to sleep: the smell gets un
bearable.
I thought I would escape being sick if
I could get on deck and get a breath of
fresh air. I got to the deck but before I
could get to (resh air the gates were
drawn across the deck and locked. I
don't know how I got this far. In try
lug to move one ft' It like be was being
tossed in the air and the last breath be
ing taken out of him. The Locania by
this time is shipping sees that give a re
port like some of Dewey's guns when
they hit the deck. I stand here only a
few minutes whou I take a chill and the
next mjnuU I am burning up, and then
here's to my first experience in sea
sickness a sensation long to b remem
bered. I stand there because I am so
weak I cannot move. I get wet from
the spray, and am sometimes over the
shoe tops in water ; but here I staved for
three long hours the starboard bow
long to be remembered by an "Emigrant."
The sea by Monday noon had calmed
down considerable and the gates are
opened so tbat those who could navigate
at all are feeding the fish over the rail.
Monday when the pig pen needed in
spection there was none. Tuesday we
were lined up, or those that were able
to be on deck, inspection card in band,
and run through a chute one by one.
Here a big fat Officer almost squeezes the
eyes out of a person, and another stamps
the card if you prove sound. This per
formance generally takes place in the
morning, and by the time one thousand
of ua get through wfe hear the bell for
dinner. If a person gets oyer his sick
ness he generally is hungry, especially
if he hasn't eaten a bite from Sunday
noon to Tuesday noon. A tip to thn!
steward generally counts for a little ex
tra, so I hand him two bits. Dinner
comes on, and just as sure as we have to
sleep in a pig pen, - 3 just as sure have
to feed in a piR trough. To live in a
sheep camp may )e bad, and lots of
people even in the West would turn up
their nose if they had to eat this grub ;
but give me a frying pan and enough to
cook in the Blue mountains. I for my
part would prefer it to life on the ocean
wave. But as my ticket reads emigrant,
what does the steward care your tips
are all for nothing, you just have to
grin and bear dirt. I have seen lots of
it, but this is disgusting ; people in bed
tick and sitting down to try and eat
such a dirty mess is out of the question.
Never having the experience of my
ticket reading "emigrant" before, I was
a little afraid of it. But thanks to kind
friends. Before I started I was well
provided for the occasion. The only
thing that I could eat was a good old
Irish Murphy cooked with the jacket
on. At times we got an apple, but be
ing used to the apples of Eastern Ore
gon, it would take better digestive
organs loan 1 bave today to get away
with such apples as were set before as.
From what I could learn the third-
class fare is much better going east. As
rule most of the people were nice, res
pectable and clean looking, altogether a
ifferent class from what used to be the
emigrant, but I fail to see where the
better accommodation comes in. After
all if it hadn't been so stormy we could
ave had a good time. Thece. were sev
eral different kinda of musical instru
ments on board and dancing and sing
ing was kept op until 9 p. m., when the
women were all ordered below.
Weather permitting we had to go
through some form of inspection every
day. For instance one day's inspection
was to take your bat on and walk past
an officer. I was taught to raise my
hat to a lady it she recognized me first;
but for a Western sheep herder to raise
his bat to an officer of tie Lucania was
something new. If you don't take it off
some officer will do it for you ' all be
cause your ticket reads emigrant. An
other day the men are all lined up for
vaccination and those that can't show
the brand are ed right there. So
thank: to an old tear left on my arm
from dresHing a mutton in the Blue
mountains. Although I bave been vac
cinated, but hard to see, I fell in line
showing a distinct scar made by my own.

ran, my ticket is stamped and once more
I am clear. . The next performance was
to hold up our hands and pass through

Now to one. that has lived in the
States, and we know that in the morn

were treated like us. I wasn't so much

smell most of time was almost unbear

Large Shipments and Good
Prices This Year.
CONDITIONS FAY OR ABLE
Pasturage Being Good and an
Abundance of Good, Cheap
Hay, an Incentive for Sheep
men to Hold Their Flocks.
Sheepmen of Morrow county are very
much pleased with the sheep outlook.
Sales have been very lively the past few
weeks, and prices are tending upwards
right along. Good lambs are now sell
ing for $1.65, and even as high as $1.75.
Ewes are bringing $2.25 to $2.50, and
few are to be hal now at these prices.
The fact is, there are few sheep of any
class for sale in this county.
Buyers are still coming in and a few
shipments are being made, but few Mor
row county sheep are now going out;
nearly all those being shipped coming
from Grant county. A train of 15 cars
went out Tuesday and another shipment
of about the same number is due here
from Grant the latter part of the week.
This, it is believed, will practically end
the shipments for the season. While
there are a great many sheep yet in the
county, probably as many as at ' this
time last year, few of the sheepmen are
willing to let go at these prices, as they
have plenty of feed to carry their flock
through the winter, beside they look
forward to better prices next spring.
The prospects next year for both wool
and mutton is considered extra good, as
fall pasture is splendid and there is van
abundance of good, cheap hay. Sheep
will start into the winter in fine flesh
and perfect health, and every indica
tion points to a splendid clip next
spring, both in quantity and quality.
In spite of the big sales that have been
made, it is the general belief that there
will be as many sheep fed in the county
this winter as last.

Entertain Official Visitor.
A special meeting held by Ruth Chap
ter No. 32, Eastern Star Monday -even-ing,
October 17, was largely attended.
It was for the purpose of receiving an
official visit from Mrs. Ella Houston, of
Portland, Worthy Grand Matron ot the
Grand Chapter.
At the conclusion of ceremonies an
elegant supper was served, which was
enjoyed by all the members. Mrs.
Houston left Tuesday morning for way
points in the interior to visit all the
chapters. She made many friends here
by her quiet and charming manners.
Her husbard, Col. David Houston, was
a resident of the Heppner hills a quarter
of a century ago, and well known to
many old pioneers of Morrow county.
Installing New Machinery.
The Heppner flouring mill has been
closed down the past week while some
new machinery is being installed. Man
ager Stevenson tells the Times that he
is putting in one of the most up-to-date
sifters to be had1 on the market. It
makes 72 different separations. When
it is placed and repairs and renovations
now under way are completed, the mill
will be strictly modern in every respect,
with a capacity of 150 barrels daily.
The mill is grinding nothing but high
grade blueetem wheat, and is turning
out a first-class flour, every sack of
which is guaranteed.

Soma Seasonable Advlca
It may be a piece of superfluous advice
to urge people at this season of the year
to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
cough remedy. It is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tled in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good thtt no one should beii
tats about buying it in preference to any
other. It is for sals by Slocum Drug Co,
