afternoon stretch of $50 feet of sheds

last year, in view of the improved appli-
ances for hauling snow, of abollshing the
sheds entirely, but it is said that Hun

sheds have been recently demolished by
derailed trains, and the heavy siege of

doubt that sooL RATS of timber will be
towed down from the Sound. In fact,
the Pacific Pine and Lumber Company
has purchased the right, for this coast, of
Robertson's patent for ocean rafts. The
company has been incorporated, with a
capital of $4,000, and a raft will be con-
structed as soon as possible. The great
trouble in floating an ordinary fat raft of
logs, like that brought by the South Coast,
is that the ends, if not all heavy, will In
evitably cause part to break adrift and
captains often consider themselves lucky
to bring any of their logs into port.

An Opening.
San Francisco Chronicle

1
American farmers are looking about in
order to discover if possible some avenue
which will pay them better profit than
the production of grain at low prices for
the foreign market. While it Is probable
that wheat will appreciate in value to
considerable extent within short time,
still it is apparent that attention should
be paid to other products for which
present demand exists at remunerative
rates.
One of these avenues can be found in
the foreign demand for dairy products.
Last year Great Britain alone imported
$50,000,000 worth of butter and $21 900,
900 worth of cheese. Of this vast amount
of the products of the dairy the United
States supplied but beggarly $4,000, 900
worth Of butter and $9,000,000 worth of
cheese. Other European countries, too,
consume large amounts OF these products
which they are obliged to import.
Here then is an opportunity for Great
ing market which will take annually
many millions of dollars worth of pro-
duct of American dairies. That any
other country should be able to compete
with this, either in the excellence or the
cheapness of its dairy products, will not
be conceded by any one who is at all |
acquainted with the facts. Higher annual |
rental are demanded for grazing lands 10
Europe than the fee simple costs outright
in America, while there IS no part OF the
world where more abundant or cheaper
food for dairy cattle can be produced than
here. With these advantages what is to
prevent the entire imported butter sup
ply of England from being drawn from
this country2 Nothing in fact but the
supineDess cfthe farmers themselves. who
are 10th to change from one industry to
another.
So long, however, as such opportunities
as these (and there are many more that
might be pointed ouD are open no one
will waste much sympathy upon the
armer who persists in growing grain
when there is, as he claims, no profit in

After Horse Thieves.


Pendleton officers are looking for two
worthless, for whose capture reward OF S25
has been offered. One Is ''greaser," a
large man, with a dark complexion, flat
nose and no beard. The other Is white
man, with red face and yerdant look
which would be apt TO deceive poor judge
of human nature. He wears red shirt, a
leather belt and a white hat. He repre-
sented himself as horse bryer in Pendle-
ton until an opportunity came to prove that
he was horse thief.
After lounging abont town for some days,
both suddenly disappeared Thursday night.
simultaneously six or eight head Of horses
were missing from John Ward'a pasture,
saddle from J. NJ. Graham's feedyard, and
horse and saddle belonging to young
man named Frazer from James Lindsey's
feedyard. 1t is supposed also that they
took two horses missing from band Of
eleven. belonging to a horse buyer. which
were running on the reservation.
No one knows where the thieves went.
1t is probable that they belong to an or
ganized gang. They will be run down if
possible

A well authenticated story comes to us
to the effect that certain valley in Lake
county called the Slkan contains many dead
cattle, and that some of the carcasses are
resting mot roosting) in the tops of mahog-
any trees, ten to twelve feet above ground.
The snow was very deep out there and
stock losses were great accordingly. The
few that were seen dead IN tree tops when
the snow disappeared evidently withstood
much suffering from cold and hunger before
they succumbed.

day last. He was driving a header truck
from the Peabody ranch, east Of Wasco,

caught the team later ON and was seen
