issued on election day, the following
statement as to the shipment of live

county daring the past nine months,
ending November i :
Cattle, 3500 head ; hogs, 1800 bead ;
sheep, 100,000 head ; wheat, 1 ,600,000
bushels; wool, 3,000,000 pounds. The
total value of these products is placed at
$1,852,000. The number of acres of land
in the county is 1,313,280, which sells

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. C. Wills, carpenter work.
plastering, painting, etc.. 14,608 50
J. E. Davis, Steele vault and
jail doors, bars and fixtuis 500 00

Gilliam & Bisbee, plumbing... 829 00
Gardiner & Kendall, stm beat'g 1,990 00

steel vault fixtures 1,687 00
Total warrants issued $56, 990 10
The purchase price of clock was fully
subscribed by citizens of Heppner and
was !! paid except $222 45, which am
ount was the subscriptions of parties

County of Morrow, J
I, Vawter Crawford, county clerk
of Morrow county. Oregon, do hereby
certify the above to be a correct and
true statement of the cost of construc
tion of the new court house of said coun
ty, as the same is shown by the records
thereof on file in my office and in my
custody.

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.

Oregon Wool In Demand.
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.
