With such an outfit newcomer is pre-.
pared and equipped to-and usually can
rent from 80 to 100 acres of cultivated
land in the vicinity Of the unimproved
land which he may enter or purchase.
For the use Of this rented land he can
either give the owner one-thlrd of the
crop and furnish aud pay everything
himself or be can give one-half the crop,
the owner furnishing seed and paying
oue-half Of the thrashing machine bill !;
or he can pay the owner about $3.50 per
acre, cash rental, payable after harvest
All these preliminary ARRANGEMENTS
should be made not later than March, rs
he will commence seeding about April 10,
and finish soon after May 1. About May
Is he Can commence breaking on his own
land, and by July l he should have a,
least 100 acres Of his land broken In
July he can put up his years supply Of
hay. 1.-THE wild hay OF the country is
| very nutritious, and horses and work
cattle do as we'll on this hay as on tame
hay. After hayiug is finished it will
pay you to go over your 100 acres of new
breaking, either replowing (backsctting)
it or cutting it up with a Randall or disk
harrow, when it will be in perfect condi.
ton for next springs seeding. About
| Aug. 10 you will commence harvesting
the crop grown on the rerlcd land which,
with thrashing, will bring you until the
middle or latter part Of October, after
which the newcomer will have no further
farm work Of consequence uutll the fol.
lowing spring, unless You desire to rent
| land for another year, In which event the
fall plowlng will continue until about
Nov 10, when the ground usually freezes.
If such q program ls to be carried out,
the settler should come prepared for Ger
tain other expenses, as, for instance, the
acre five months feed for foul. horses
from $75 to $100; his own living ex-
pcnscs, etc
! On the other hand, if necessary. some
reduction can be made from the above
estimates. Oxen may be used instead OF
horses, ut "A saving of $3.50 iii cost the
moving machine and rake may be rented
the first year; the harvester need not b.
purchased until the crop is ready to cut,
and can then be bought to be paid fol-
! one half after harvest and one half in one
year. Or, again, the man of limited
means can rent less land and work with
his teams for other farmers, and in this
way earn IL considerable sum of money
until his own Land requires all his time.
No account has been made of the ex
fpense of buildings, because that must be
regulated by the ability or the desire OF
the individual. There are many farmers
here whose entire buildings do not repre-
sent cash outlay of $500, while $500 o.
$500 will provide good buildings for fam
lily and stock.

The Fire in Boston.

BosToN, Mass, March 1.-The three
greatest fires in Boston's histnry, those of
1872, 1889 and 1898. were all rung from
the same box, so No change is warranted
IN the estimates of the less and in
surance sent out last night. OF the prop
erty loss of $4, $4,000. little over ST.
100000 is on the buildings and the 1e-
mainder on the stock. This is covered
by an insurance close to S4,000,000
FIremen searched the ruins all day fol
the dead. One additional body was
found, that of Henry Turner, aged Is,
who was one OF the employees of the ia
auth Rubber Company. Lewis Buck,
aged 10, of the same company, Is missing.
They worked on the fifth floor. 1t is
also believed that the body of Charles

Brothers, is in the ruins. A thorough
search has been made in the hospital and
morgues, hut no trace of him can be
found The persons employed by Hor-
ace, Partrsge & Co.. In the building

Homicide Rear Canyon City.

A. ". Shaw and his wife lived on Fred
Hotsely's ranch east of Canyon City, and on
Friday of last week. Shaw returned from
John Day. The next morning he was found
dead IN his barn In stall In which stallion
was tied, by F. w. Calm, one of the farm
hands. and it was supposed he had been
kicked by the animal and killed. Calm
called on neightors, and the body was re-
moved to the house, where an inquest was
held, the verdict agreeing with the presump
tions stated. Later there was developed a
state of facts which caused the arrest of
Gallin and Mrs. Snaw, and a reconsidera-
tion of the verdict of the coroner's jury was
had.
From the Canyon City Ne,os we learn the
following particulars of the second inquest:
The examination was resumed Monday.
The officers went Cut and again searched the
premises. Blood was found-it was also
seen that an attempt had been made to
scrape it off the logs. A piece of the door
frame with blood stains on it was rought in
by the sheriff. Also pair of overalls that
Calm said were his own. They had blood.
stains on them.
Mrs. VIM. Keller of John Day testified
that last summer while she was visiting at
Shaw's Calm offered her $40 to push Al
out OF the wagon into the river while she
was riding home with him.
Mrs. Shaw declares that Calm never left
the house during the night, from the time he
came into supper. His statement agrees
with hers.
1t appears to be the opinion of all that Mr.
Shaw arrived home some time between six
and seyen o',lock, drove with his cart to
within about twenty yards of the house, un.
saddled and turned loose a horse that he
had led home, then unhitched the animal he
had been driving, went ineo the stable and
took off the harness which he hung up near
the door. How he came to be in the posi-
tion in which he was found next morning is
one of the unexplained mysteries.
Dr. Ashford made an analysis of the blood
found upon the logs of the stable and the
door casing, and on the overalls and an old
black hat that was brought in. In his ex-
animation on the witness stand the doctor
pronounced it human blood ON the logs and
door, but animal blood on the overalls and
hat
The coroner jury, after mature delibera-
tion, rendered v, rdict in accordance with |
the prepopderance of testimony; that Mr. |
Shaw had been murdered, and re commended |
that Gallin and Mrs Shaw be held to await |
the action of the grand jury.

A Bold Robbery.
Lewiston Teller.

Last Friday morning three men entered
the stoi of Grostein & Blnnard, and while
two of them engaged the clerks attention
the other stole ten pairs of pants, and hid
ing them under his overcoat, let the store
unobserved. The whole party hastily left
the town, but the theft was discovered and
Deputy Sheriff Tom Barton was sent to
capture the bold robbers. He found them
in Uniontown, with the stolen goods still in
their possession. They, however, were out
of the state and could not be brought
back without requlsition papers Deputy
Barton held the men till the sheriff of Whit.
man county came, and they are now lodged
in Jail at Colfax, awaiting the requisite pa.
pers. On the receipt Of the papers the men
will be transferred here and held to answer
for the theft. The sheriff reports their
names as Frank Hart, Thomas Burke and
Frank Williams. They are thought to be
part of an organized gang of thieves that
follow up the trade and ship all stolen goods
to some store on the Sound.

business for which 1t was called together
is concerned. Members of the commit,

devoting attention TO the study of the
precedents and law affecting the gu5ein-
atorial appointments of senators from
Wyoming, Montana and Washington, and

question itself complex, it is expected
debate will ensue in the senate upon the
presentation of the report of the commit

AB1QUIU. N NJ, March ia party
prospe ting In the old Spa Ish copper
canyon came upon the skeletons of forty
three soldiers In Devils guich. A COM
pang has been missing from Fort Mary
ever since the Apache raid on Espauola.
September 8. 1879. 1t was supposed
they were slaughtered by Indians, not one
ever having returned. 1t seems, how
ever, that all had died from drinking
from poisonous springs, where the skele
tons had lain bleaching ever since. Toe
skeletons of some were still cncased in
uniforms, and the guns were SACKED as
they had left them. A lot OF ammunition
and the skeletons of forty FIVE horses con
stituted the ghastly discovery.
