Summer Pasturage.

Nearly all the sheepmen OF this
county are pasturing their flocks in the
vicinity of Mt. Hood where the grass
is excellent. Some few have taken
their herds to Klickitat county and
are feeding them on the foothills OF
Mt. Adams. The grass is not in as
fair condition as it was last year, except
in the mountain ranges, and. there is
very poor pasturage in the lowlands.
Sheep camps are established in many
places in the Cascade range, and as

ANOTHER GORGEOUS CAR COMES
Second Billing Brigade of the Great Wal
lace Shows Does Its Work.


1t is only week since the Great
Wallace Shows No. bill car was here
and decorated this town in flaming
colors from one end to the other. That
seemed enough to herald most any ag-
gregation, but second one pulled in
last night and gave more beauty to
dull places. This car, like the first, is
q work of art inside and outside, and
certainly heralds a great show. A
small circus could not support two of
such magnifcence.
This car is in charge of Mr.. G. A.
Potter, genial gentleman, who has
been in the show business for 80 years.
He is known the length and breadth
of the land as an advance agent. He
spends his winters in the service of
metropolitan dailies. He has served
two terms in the legislature of his
state. Mr.. M. Fagin, the boss bill
poster,is an expert and is ably assisted
by eighteen experts. This force makes
q specially of advertising the excur-
sions which all the lines of railroad
coming into town will run on show
day at greatly reduced rates.
The sight of such car as this and
the one which preceded it gives one
confidence in the greatness of the
show they herald. Cheap aggrega-,
tions could not support so much splen-

Concerning Quartz Location.

To make quartz location hereafter
the prospector must sink hole at least
ten feet deep to solid formation, and
have at least one we'll defined vein and
must stake his ground so that the
stakes can be found. The notice of To-
cation must be placed in conspicuous
place at the discovery shaft, where it
can be seen-not on some stump or tree
in the neighborhood. He is allowed
ninety days to do this work. If he To-
Gates an old prospect hole, he is re-
quired to sink at least ten feet deeper
than when he first found it, and stake
and record his location the same as
though it was an original discovery.
If he runs tunnel it must be at least
ten feet so as to determine the fact that
vein supposed to carry the precious
metals has been discovered.

soon as the dry, hot weather begins
these are occupied by herders who
keep their sheep well in hand in the
vicinity The greatest danger is from
wild animals, and the attacks OF these
have to be warded off continually.
They prowl around the herd at night,
watching for an opportunity to carry
off stray lamb or feast upon manned
eve. Herders frequently have desper.
ate fights with cougars and bears, and
only conquer after an exhibition OF
pluck and perseverance.

The Salmon Run.

The salmon season will end on the
10th of next month, and the run in
this vicinity has been the poorest ever
remembered since the industry has
been started. Usually there are
enough to supply the local demand
and some for export, but this year
there has not been hardly enough to
supply consumers at The Dallas. The
stage of water has been unusually low,
and this may account for the few fish
found in the Columbia. In 1890 there
was high water and last year it over
reached all former limits, and these
seasons were unprecedented in the run
of salmon. Our fishermen must be
patient and wait for another extra
flood in the Columbia,

The case of Hawthorne, who was
pla led under 800 bonds to keep the
peace towards his wife, has occupied
the attention of the justice court for
the past two or three days. Before the
bond was properly made out and filed
he was again arrested for whipping his

who imposed on him fine OF 500. He
was sent to Jail in default of payment,

given his freedom this morning.

some black bass which he has turned
loose in Mill creek near the capital
city. Judge Hayden, of Polk county,
has also received number of these
fish and placed them in lake on his
farm. These will largely multiply in
numbers in a few years, when the
streams in the Willamette will furnish
good sport for anglers for this fish.
These are described as very succulent

A Sand Storm.

The east bound passenger train due
at Pendleton at 6:20 in the morning
was delayed until 1910 yesterday morn
ing. A freight train had been stalled
in a sand drift four miles east of this
city, and had to be dug out with
shovels. The wind and sand storm of
Tuesday afternoon was terrific. Huge
masses of sand were moved, and in
many places, the contour of the coun-
try was completely altered. 1t is the
first train delay for many months on
account of blowing sand. The COM
pany has resorted to every means to
prevent such occurrences, and now
only the most severe storms can seri-
ously impede the passage of passen-
ger train.

the distances marked. Mr.. Butts found
the citizens of Vancouver very enthu-
siastic regarding the tournament, and
the visiting fremen will receive a
hearty welcome.

Variation in the Habits of Animals.
TPnp,,{1y S,.fsors Noythy,y

Among other sorts of variability discussed
by Semper, that which concerns the change of
food habits of animals receives consideration,
and several examples illustrating such
changes-poly phagy cited. Forinstance.
on page 81 the story of the New Zealand
parrot Nestor miriaoiIis) is told. This parrot,
which formerly fed upon the juices of plants
and flowers, has acquired the habit OF slipping
the blood of eHly-slaughtered sheep, and
thereby has come to develop such a love for
the taste of blood that it will now alight upon
living sheep and peck at the most minute
wounds Another case is told of two horses
in Chile which had developed the habit OF eat
ing young pigeons and chickens.
great many other interesting cases of
variability in food habits might be collected
by little observation, and by compilation.
Two such cases at least have come under my
own observation On farm in Coffee County,
Kansas, few years ago, there were several
horses and mules which greedily devOured
the eggs laid in their mangers by improvident
hens. believe that this habit is not uncom-
mon At any rate, have been told of several
instances in which this same practice has been
acquired by other horses. Also upon this
farm. during the Winter of 1887, q mich
COW and fully-grown pig were shut up to-
oether in the same lot This COW, which had
been furnishing milk bountifully, suddenly,
about month after her confinement IN tie
lot with the pig ceased to supply milk at all.
At first she was accused of "stubbOrnly hold
ing her milk" but after several days it was de-
cided that some one was stealing her milk. A
careful watch was then kept, and the thief
proved to be the pig.

Not many farmers are aware OF the magni-

States. The COW Is so much larger than the
hen that she is apt to be looked upon rs being
more importment but the facts ara the poultry
product is more than double that of our dairy
product. 1t behooves farmers, therefore, to
look well after the poultry industry. and to do
1t rightly Arst-class incu bator should be used.

Physical Training OF Indian Hunters.

The physical training of the hunter was a
part of the education of every Indian boy, and
different tribes bad different modes of develop
ing the powers Of endurance. Among the
Omahas the youth were taught to r1n-not so
much to run rapidly for short distance, as
to keep up On even pace for many miles /; and
the habit OF careful observation was also in
culcated. The runners services on the tribal
hunt were important; it was necessary for
them to be able to travel far in search of the
buffalo, and to return quickly, so that the
tribe could go forward, and the hunters en-
compass the herd before it could move any
great distance. They must also closely note
the topography of the country as they ran
here and there in search of the game, so as TO
be able to direct the tribe to the herd over
the shortest route, which they might not
themselves have travelled. They must also be
constantly on the watch for tracks or signs of
an eneay, lest they should bring the tribe
into danger. 1t was not uncommon for these
young men to run from 20 to 100 miles in "A
hours, taking very little rest and food.

II, 9lst Pa. think the comrade is mistaken
in the number of the regiment he inquires

1t was about noon, or soon after. We lay
just in the edge of the woods, and the boys,
being hungry, began building fires to cook
coffee. Our Colonel (Otis) went around
kicking out the fires, telling the men at the
