SENNETT GRADUATE OPTICIAN On Construction of Morrow County Court House. No comprehensive statement of the building of the new court house of Mor row county having been heretofore pub lished, and believing it to be due to the taxpayers of the county to know exactly what the same has cost them, or will have cost them, when paying for the structure is completed, I have prepared from my records the following detailed statement, which shows the amount of warranta issued on account of building the house. In preparing this statement I have had in view the fact of putting everything into it that occurred as an item of expense in connection with the construction, hence it may appear that some of the items did not have to do with the building of the house proper, but they were incurred, nevertheless, on account thereof. In this statement, the first table is the contracts, and the amounts thereof, as awarded bv the county court, and cover only the construction of the build ing proper, and is aa follows : Frank Duprat, stone work. . . .$21,670 50 R.

Vawtkb Cbawford, County Clerk, Mines the Best in Green horn District ASSAY HIGH ASSI000T0N Quartz Mill Will Be Installed Next Spring The Heppner Stockholders Pleased. D. B. Stalter and W. M. Lossen re turned Saturday from the Greenhorn mining district, where they haye been working on the Heppner group during the past summer and fall. Mr. Stalter informed The Times that he had closed down the mines for the winter after a successful season's work. A great portion of the work the past summer was done on the Illinois claim, which is conceded to be the best mine in the district. It has a pay streak of fifteen inches tbat assays $1000 to the ton, which is a higher average than that of any other mine in the Greenhorn district. This pay streak is a very re cent discovery, made ia catting ore chute. Mr. Stalter says the first thing done in the spring will be the installing of a quarts mill to treat this rich ore, which is free-milling, and he has no doubt of a big ran next season. He ia very much encouraged with developmenta the past few months and ia confident he has the best mine in the district, which is also encouraging to Heppner people, who hold about the entire stock of the fifteen claims composing the Heppner group. These mines are now past the experi mental stage, and, it is only a matter of time until they will be developed into valuable properties. f w w o !: i: ' 0 LIVERY, FEED AND SALE STABLE Wm.

It is reported that the 1905 wool clip in Wallowa county is being contracted at from 16 to 18 cents per pound, and that a large proportion ot the clip is already aold at those figures. Buyers are scouring the country in every direction and the keenest com petition among buyers and commission companies exists. In speaking of the wool situation, A. II. Bunderman, the well known sheep man, says to the East Oregonian : "Owing to the scarcity of wool in the markets of the world and especially in the markets of the United States, wool prices and Bheep prices promise to be excellent next yeai, no matter who is elected president. "The influence of the election is not being felt in the market; the high pricea are caused now and will be caused next year by the need of wool by the scarcity of the commodity in wool centers. "The old wool ia all sold out of the commission warehouses in the markets, new avenues of trade are consuming greater quantities of wool and the nar row range area is reducing the wool clip in different wool producing districts each year, so the prospect ot good prices is entirely independent of the election or its result. Neither party can- In crease the visible wool supply of the world nor check the increasing demand for wool, as population increases.
