A few sale ef new clip wool are reported from Takf. ma at 9 to 11 cenU, but no new bui. ness is paaaing in Eastern Oregon. Dates for the Eastern Oregon wool sale are now being arranged. Sale will be held at Pendleton. Pilot Rock. Heppner. Echo, Wallowa, ShamVo and possibiy at Madras. Some of the buy ers, however, are opposed to the auc tion method and prefer to buy the la dividual clip in the open market. Shearing begun yesterday at R. N. Stanfield'a par.e, six miles south of Echo, known as the "White House." where 100.000 or more iheep will be sheared. The shearing plant is being run by a gasoline engine, and Jaka Wattenburger has the management of the plant. A numlter of small bands of sheep have been sheared already, but as usual, the great majority of the sheep in that section will be sheared at the White House. Shearing will start this week in the foot hills of Mount Adams in Klickitat County. Washington. A few small clips of Willamette Val ley wool are coming in and are being taken at 14 and 15 cents. Account sales just received from the East by local dealers show that Valley wools sold there at 2 cents less than the price of six weeks ago.' Tom Johnnson Passes Cleveland, Ohio, April 10. Tom L.
