Vale at 10 to 14 cents, It had to be stored in tho warehouse for sales days, The buyers were very particular in the adver tised sales days and the sacks had to be opened and all the wool sampled, This year wool sold delivered at Vale for 20 to 22 cents, None went begging, A great deal was sold before It was sheared, Tho buyors wont out onto the ranges and bought it up, Not much laid in the warehouses and there was nothing to sell on sales davs, The stage road to Burns follows up Bully creek, Three streams center at Vale, the Malheur, the Willow and Bully,. Out about twolvo miles we cross an iron dyke, The oil lands lie on both sldos of this, The dyke runs from southeast to northwest, The first canyon Is about a mile further, or perhaps two miles, Birds and school houses seem to be equal ly scarce in this part of the state, Fourteon miles out wo passed the old Frank O'Niel place, now run by Jackson, with plenty of hollyhocks, shade trees, a fine verandah and a fow chickons, This is a famous eat ing and rosting place for stages, We got a drink (of wator) and passed on, Speaking of drinking, this ib a dry county, and while hard drinking has been reduced, and those who soil it are prob ably rondored more caroful, ho sales of "near beer" aro vorv largo, It Is shipped in bottlad form , packed in barrols, It is shipped as "beer" but tho bottles are not labeled at all. Thero is little or no drunkenness. Tho empty bottles are shipped out, In placo of being "near beer" it Is just com mon boor, and jiot being laboied is of poor quality, havlnc no reputation or brand to maintain, It costs more than good -boor from kega, pays tho manufacturer more, and tho re tailor gots moro profit than if ho sold laboied goods or by tho class. At some places tho bottlod "near boor" is sold by tho glass, two glassos for 25 conts, and small ones at that, The big schooner for 5 conts is a thing of the past In tho dry county, Experience With Autos. Tired of waiting for the shgo line auto, and Ford's auto, wo docldod to lilt llio road with private convoyanco, Out about twenty milos wo found tho stage line machlno lying in a can yon with a brokon axle, Tho Ford machine that has gone through to Burns in ten houis punctured sovon tiros gohv sixty milos and was still on ihc road Wednesday afternoon, The Boiso party composed of Messrs, Atkinson, Shollenbnr gor, Davis, Gibson and a chauffeur, got out of Vale at 4 n. in. and had breakfast at Westfall. Their machine was a dandy Franklin, with about 28-inch wheels, four-cylir.'K and a rogular whizz of' v. drivor, When wo were zig-zag-glng up Cottonwood canyon we wonderod how an auto over got up even as far. as Westfall, and began to wondor wheth er our boautiful Franlkin was still in commission and if it would ovor live to got back to Boiso, Up tho canyon we soon came to somo springs of ico cold water, Hero the syringa was bloomnig in abundance, as perfectly as in the Willamette valley. Tho mall line auto was a strong built machino made by the International Harvoster Co. It has the power to climb stoop, rocky mountain roads, but was weak in tho axlo, At 6:30 we were over tho first divide wo cross throe between Vale and, Burns and trotting down the great slope into Westfall. The stage lino auto with its broken axle was lying in tho mlddlo of tho road and our bronchos trotted by No, '1905 right merrily, Tho groat basin lay spread out be low, Tho Westfall vnlloy is as green and smooth as tho top of a now billiard table. Tho grain, alfalfa and poplars had tho rich dark green peculiar to perfect Irrigation. It Is tho homo of prosperous ranchers, and two stores in her sell $100.000 a year of merchandise. We left Westfall at 9:15 Wednesday night. We were at the top of Ben Deer mountain by midnight and flew down a grade that was several hundred feet straight up and clown, Two a, m, we stopped for lunch and fed and watered our teams, We were headed tor Beulah valley, a 45-mile night drive, but not destined to get there, At 3 a. m. we met Ford with his auto coming out of Burns, put one team in the stage barn, sent the other on ahead and got into the 40-horsepower car. What a pleasure it was to set back in the rich cushions of the upholstered tonneau and be swayed from side to side as the great machine ate up the distances. In six minutes we went three miles and would be in Burns, seventy-five miles away, in five or six hours. The great car fairly plowed through the air. We were supremely happy for a space of six minutes, when the car gave a few un earthly pops, began to catch its breath in fits and starts, its pulse was beating very unevenly, and it stopped short and refused to- go ahead, The patient Ford,- who had driven all night to meet us, tightened a few bolts .touched a few but tons, shook his head, and this he said, "The thing is dead," The storage batteries had given out and no extras in the hold. There we sat on the highway at daybreak, one team on ahead the other left behincT at the stage station and Burns seventy-five miles away, We did not swear, We sat by the roadside and waited for sunrise, Some freighters were getting their horses together to feed for the long pull over Ben Deer, Six horses take two wagons coupled, the first wagon with 4800 pounds wool, the second 3600 pounds, or four tons and 400 pounds, The wool comes from as far as Lake county and the freighters get $1,50 per hundred from Burns, They sleep by the roadside, cook their own meals, and there was where we forgot our troubles at a 5 o'clock breakfast of clear salt pork fried, black coffee cook ed in a tin bucket, and warm bread baked in a Dutch oven, No two-dollar dining car meal tasted as good as that simple meal seasoned with alkali dust and eaten with your fingers. Troubles were ended. I hiked back four miles, got our team hitched up and was back on the dusty trail for Burns at 8 o'clock. The man in charge of the stage station was Mr, Tuener, a son of Judge Tuenerof Pendleton, one of the ablest criminal lawyers of eastern Oregon in his day, Wo reached Beulah at 10 a, in, and found a family of bright Chicago people running the postoffice, store and roadhouse. The proprietor's name is Allen Gilke, Their house is on the bank of the Malheur, Tho road crosses the river and climbs to the clouds by easy grades laid by a skilled engineer at not to exceed eight per cent, while the old trail was a regu lar toboggan slide, Over the rimrock we go and out open wider and wider the great central Oregon valleys, Away to the west a great dark green tongue of forest ta bleland extends far to the south, The hillsides are greener and the ridges are dotted with firs and juniper cedar, E, HOFER, 33i1rV irfr n:"H ZU0 AWOHOl 3 PEK CENT.
