tp, and does not know mwen about khe
plans laid for work durinsr. the comlne

Dogs Are Killing Shesp.
W.. H. Simpson, ( one of the farmer
out near the Prlngl school hous, has
been looking around for the past -day
or two for dogs whlch are killing many
of the farmers sheep out that way. He
was in Salem yesterday," ahd said two
of his own flock had recently been
killed by dogs, and that many of his
neighbors, also, have lost sheep from
the .same cause, among whom are A.
W. Drager. W. M. Coburn and W. D.
Clark. There have, been more .than a
doxen sheep killed since the ravages
began, but. he says, they have not
yet been, able to find, the dogs which
wrought the havoc. '.-,;
As in other sections' of the county
heard from, the farmers in the Pringle
district are as busy as bees, spending
every possible lihoraent ploughing and
sowing grain. The small amount of
'grain sown in that locality looks un
usually well, for the time of year, but
the unusual dry weather late in .the
fall prevented the farmers from put
. ting In as much as "heretofore. 4
