The Cow Ordinance Again, At their
regular session lust Monday evening,
our town council instructed the mar
shnl, by motion to let the oows run at
lorge in the day time, between the bonrs
of 6 a. m. and 7 p. m. This was brought
about by a petition containing 63 names
asking for an amendment to the cow
ordinauoe, requiring owners to keep up
tneir oattle of nights, but allowing mem
the freedom of the village in the day
time. In the opinion of the counoil, it
was necessary to render this new phase
of the cow ordinance a sort of a retro
spective one, although it is oertainly a
new departure. Should it be oalled
in question it might occasion the town
some trouble. Cows are a nuisance in
town at best, yet the amendment to the
original ordinanoe, when a law, will be
much better than the old plan of mak
ing a public range of the town day or
night.

noar the depot arranging for the com
pletion of the main line, as far as present

as the O. B. & N. people are not inclined
to pay the damages awarded at the last

the engineers are preparing to curve the
track east on Morgan street to extend as
far as the couuty road.

past fortnight. The drovers have nearly
all made up their bands and are about
ready to
TAKE THE TRAIL.
Fully 50,000 sheep will be driven from
the Hills this season and this does not
include the many minor drives of sheep
raisers who are going to fresh range.
The principal parties who are taking
part in this season's drive are Orrnsby,
who takes 28,000 to Nebraska, and
Roberts to Nebraska, with 9,000. Wood
and Pierce have gathered np 15,000
yearling ewes in Morrow county, and
have made extensive oontracts to pur
chase in Umatilla, though they have not
yet been entirely closed.-, These sheep
will be driven to Idaho, and Webb will
take the trail for the same territory, with
1,000 ewes and 4,000 wethers. Other
droves are being gathered, among them
being that of G. H. Booth and J. llA
Hughes who want 5,000 young wethers
and 4,000 young ewes which they expect
to purchase at, $1.62Jjj per head.
Owing to the ever more limited extent
of the rangeland, here are many stock
bands for sale but the market for any
thing in the way of progeny-producing
stock is extremely dull, becauso the
parties who want fresh range are as
settlers in Oklahoma.
THE LAMB CROP
This season is by far the largest that
has ever been dropped and Baved to this
late in the season, and as the lambing is
about over and the season for advanced,
nothiug but extremely unusual occurren
ces could materially diminish the
enormous orop, that, by careful estimates
of all the marking reported to date, will
be at the very least calculation more
than 92 percent.
Twins seem to be more iu the order of
things this year than single lambs and
PatQuaid has a ewe that is successfully
raising a strong trio of triplets. And
while on the subject of prodigies, it may
be seasonable to mention that Tom
O'Brien, of the Lone Rock country has a
three-weeks-old lamb that has two heads
and is otherwise gotten up to match.
So that notwithstanding the great drive
this year there will undoubtedly be more
sheep upon the winter ranges in 89-90
than ever before.
Of course so much rain and hail could
not fall without occasioning
SOME LOSS,
Which, though somen hat serious to par
ticular parties, is quite insignificant in
the aggregate. There has been, how
ever, less loss among fresh dropped lambs
than among grown sheep that were
sheared or dipped before the rains. '
A. B. Mackey, of Sand Hollow, lost
150 head of sheared sheep and young
lambs Thursday and Friday last.
Ed Copner, of Lone Rock, lost 60 head
of voting lambs. '
Mike McKinney, who sheared and
dipped before the last rains, lost 140 head
of stock sheep.
Henry rail uerg lost bl) head ot mixed
sheep.
The various crews of dippers have
already organized and are awaiting the
olearing of the weather to commence
SHEARING THE SHEEP.
The old Bitter's crew is on deck with
its complete personnel, excepting their
gallant leader, George Bitters, who now
wears the enobling oity marshal's star of
Heppner town, and Lieutenant Hinton,
who is, on the authority of Harry
Sweeney, 'tending bar for one of the
leading publioacis of Arlington. Tom.
Matlock, however, says that he is wrest
ling spittoons and doing general roust
about work obont the bar-room. The
great sheep industry iu all its branches
ever furnishes the proper timber to fill
positions, power and trust, and Capt.
Bitters and Lieut. Hinton are but of the
army who have clipped their way to
greatness. Johnny Friend is now pro
moted to the oaptaincy of the crew,
which is made up of Harry Sweeney,
Walt liicnardson.uuariey Williams, .ben.
Sheffield and Bill. McCormick. They
oommenced work on Tom. Matlock's
2,000 wethers on Monday last. The
crew no longer shears in California, aud
the season is so late here that tbey do
not expeot much ot a run in Montana
and Idaho this year.
The price of shearing this year is six
oents.
Most of the
PROFESSIONAL HERDERS
Are on duty. The only members of the
fraternity visiting the oity this week
being Happy Jack, John himmons and
William Henry Harrison Hayes.
The unusually mud winter has caused a
SPREAD OF SCAB
Throughout tho county, which though
located to a small extent in every portion
of the range, is confined to 12 bands
only, Every band that was exposed last
fall or winter, have become infected.
Gid cover, the inspector, has taken
every necessary precaution to prevent a
(urtner spread, and the wool-growers
are giving him every assistance to make
everything clean before the mountain
herding commenoeo. Many of the most
prosperous sheepmen are going into the
business of buyiug and raising wethers,
and about the finest and most extensive
band of this description ever gathered
in Morrow oounty, is that of Jim. Jones',
numbering 5,000 head of carefully chosen
yearling lambs. They will be run in two
bunches.
THE LOCAL WOOL MARKET
Is like the railroad land in xtatu quo.
The home merchants have made a few
transactions that they do not desire to
report, but aside from that, nothing has
been dona this season to ditto, so that no
standard can be estimated.
Only two buyers are in town, namely;
Peter Mclntyre, of Portland aud -v"
Field, representing the Oregon City
Mills.
THE CONFOUNDED COYOTES.
Are increasing at a rate of several for
every one that is killed, and the time is
dead ripe for a bounty.
