A Poison Strip

Just at this time of the year there is
a general movement of large bands OF
sheep from their ranges south and west
of Spokane to their summer ranges in
the mountains to the north and east
Several large bands have passed by east
of that city within the past few weeks
on this route. The sheepmen are having
this spring the usual trouble in crossing
what is known among them as poison
strip" This is strip Of country about
five miles wide between Spokane and
Pine City, on which there grows some
kind Of plant that is poisonous to sheep
1t is not generally known that such a
strip exists, but every sheepman who has
ever run sheep in that part of the state
is aware Of it, knows it's exact location;
and makes preparations for crossing it
in going north or south with his bands
The strip is about five miles wide and
extnds along the edge Of the timber, be-
ginning near the Idaho line and extend
ing south almost to Rock lake. Another
similar strip extends out south Of Che
ney and west towards Spangle.
Just what the plant is that kills the
sheep is not known, but it is seldom that
a band is driven across it without losing
from five to fifty head. The Person q
Poe sheep of 5000 head, in two bands,
that crossed the strip this week, lost only
twelve head, and their owners consid-
cred themselves quite fortunate in escap-
ing so lightly. Last year they lost forty.
Several years ago, before the exact loca-
ton of the strip was definitely known,
a band of 1900 sheep was driven leisurely
across it, and 700 of them died from the
effects of the poison. Experience has
taught sheepmen the only way to cross
in safety is to drive the sheep across on
the run, so they will not get an opportu-
nifty Of grazing on it.. This method is the
one now universally adopted.-Spokana
Chronicle.

WILLIAM WANTS A HEALTHY
MINISTER
The German Minister for Foreign AZ
fairs the First Victim Of Cabi-
net Reorganization

KEEL, June 2S.-It was semi officially
announced today that owing to. the
health Of Baron Marschal Won Bieber-
stein rendering necessary his retirement
from the post of minister for foreign af-
fairs, the emperor has temporarily en-
trusted the portfolio of minister for for
eign affairs to Herr Won Bulow, who will
assume the duties Of the foreign Office
on the return Of his majesty to Berlin.
Prince Hohenlohe has started for Ber-
lin. He visited Prince Bismarck at
Friedrichsruhe while on his way to the
German capital.
SIMPLY DISMISSED
BERLIN, June 2S.-As the health of
Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein, min
lister for foreign affairs, is in no way
impaired, the semi-official announce
ment of his retirement from the foreign
office, which comes from Kiel today is
regarded as virtual dismissal The
kaiser is expected to return here during
the latter part of August. Until that
time the affairs of the foreign Office will
be in the hands of Baron Won Rotenhan,
under secretary of state. The theory
Is that this arrangement is made to en-
able Baron Won Bulow to accompany
the emperor and Prince Hohenlohe to
st. Petersburg, after which Prince Ho-
henlohe will resign and Baron Won
Bulow succeed him. :,
Baron Won Kiderlon-W -Wachtoe, now
German minister at Copenhagen, will
be appointed foreign secretary. Both
men are highly esteemed by the en-
peror, but the appointments will GER
tainly provoke great deal Of criticism
because, though Of the first rank in
diplomacy, they are quite without ex-
perlence of parliamentary life.
Although not officially announced,
it is tonight said that Won Boettischer
ceeded by Count Posadowsky- w elmer,
the present secretary Of the treasury.
DR.. Miqueps chances appear to be
temporarily clouded.
Gen. Podbielskal will shortly be ga
zetted as postmaster general. This, as
we'll as the visit he has recently paid to
Prince Bismarck, is looked upon as con-
firming the report Of the early reslgna-
ton of Prince Hohenlohe, who has al
ways strenuously opposed placing such
offices as the postal department in the
hands Of men of military training.
VISITING BISMARCK
FRIEDRICHSRUHE, June 2S.-

ten girls, and We're enough to delight
the hearts of any parents Some one
spoke of them as the best possible show
that can be made, and promising more
for good or ill than any other exhibit
that can be named.
The prizes were handsome and sub
stantial, and they Nere we'll de-
served. An immense crowd gathered
to see the babies, and it was with ut
most difficulty that the three ladies
chosen as Judges could prosecute their
duty, owing to the insistence of the
people that the babies be held up to
view all the While.
The awards were: Prettiest girl baby,
Oracle Beck, 211 n street; second, Fern
Todhunter, Washington; prettiest boy
baby, August Dashiell, 1919 P street;
second, Eddie Condrey, Thirtyfirst and
B streets. There being no contest for
twins, the prizes for them We're given
to first winners in the other classes.
The managers of the festival say that
any prizes or orders for them not yet
delivered will be forwarded to the WIN

or two to do so, but they will be sent
on with such haste as is possible, the

away the frozen cream and the work
of the ladies in keeping up the supply.
