DUBIOUS FOR OREGON HORSES
Four-Fifths of Those Now on the Range
VIII Starve.

| It is not likely that such bands of
wild horses as are found on the range
OF Eastern Oregon today will be seen in
the spring. Many will starve this win
ter, as there is grass enough for only q
small fraction of the thousands that are
there. The snow covers the grass for
several months, and those that survive
Will be in very poor condition.
SAID an Eastern Oregon cattleman this
morning: ''I belieye four. fifths of the
horses running on Eastern Oregon
ranges will starve to death this winter.
In most cases the owners, or those
whose brands the horses bear, do not
consider the stock of sufficient value to
feed through the winter. Everyone
knows that horse to bring any price
nowadays must show style and have
some blood that counts. These anima 8
are of mongrel breed, and would not
sell for anything except at the cannery,
and there they would bring only about
$3.50 head-scarcely enough to pay
for rounding them up and putting them
on the cars.
t'These horses, some of them several
years old, do not know the feeling of a
bride. Most of them have been round
ed up and branded at some time, but
that is the sum total of their experience
with man, and they are perfect iends
to break. Consequently they are re-
garded as of little value by their owners,
and small effort will be made to keep
them from starving.
Looking at it from the cattlemen's
standpoint it will be blessing when
these horses are gone. They consume
great quantities of grass which the
stockmen think should be reserved for
the cattle. OF course it will be cruel to
let them starve to death, but there
seems to be no way out of the difficulty,
as there is scarcely enough hay in the
country to feed all the horses and haye
enough left for the other stock
GA great deal of trouble is being ex-
perienced in keeping the horses ont of
the fenced pastures that are b, ig re-
served for cattle and sheep, as the horses
can get over or through almost any kind
OF fence. Even if the winter should
prove a mild one 1 do not look for many
of the horses to survive. as they are IN
such poor condition now that few of
them will be able to live until the grass
st rts up in the spring 50 ele ram.

New Years day time for receiving and
making calls. In former years almost
every society lady in the city would
make preparations, and in company
with some friend or friends, receive calls
from her gentlemen friends. who in
crowds, or individually, would make the
circuit of the city, sighting none who
slgnifed their intention of being at
home to callers. Would it not be we'll
to again revive the custom, and thus
make it a happy day indeed and afford.
ing an opportunity for each to wish the
other happy New Year.
We have always contended that no
matter where Oregon people go, they
are always sure to make themselves
famous. Who could have caused great
er sensation or made herself more
widely known than is one of Oregon's
fairest daughters, (as far as beauty is
concerned,) Mrs. Fayne Moore, formerly
"Pet" Strain, of Albany, whose trial is
now going on in New York. And now
comes another Oregonian to prove our.
statements in the person OF Mrs. Mary
Vaughn Elbert, formerly of Oregon City
who has been arrested in Ell Paso, Texas,
for Matchmaking wealthy cattleman
out of $4,000. We of Eastern Oregon are
magnanimous as far as these cases are
concerned, and would not lay claim to
any of Willamette's thunder, preferring
to stand on our own merits.

The report that The DalTes is to have
another newspaper reaches us as we are
endeavoring to scratch up a few items
with which to fill the columns of one of
the family journals which now graces
the city, and we feel inclined to say, as
was said to a bride and groom in The
DAlles, 1.-THE Lord have mercy on your
soul."S However, this might not be ap-
-plieable, as newspapers and newspaper
people are said to be like the shoe

trade is over there is no reason WHY
places of business should be kept open
until 9, or even g O'Clock. All that is
required to close them at that hour is foH
some one to start out with slip of
paper, which is worded to that effectl
and obtain signatures thereto.

This afternoon meeting of the incor-

concerning it: 'The Arlington Ware

Captain Lewis Lecture.


Although smaller crowd than we
anticipated attended the lecture at the
Congregational church, those who were
fortunate enough to be present were
highly entertained for over an hour as
Captain Lewis told of the events which
led to his capture and OF life for seven
months in Libby prison. Somehow it
seemed more real when told by one OF
our own citizens who was relating his
own experiences, s,- -E
Captain has very pleasing voice and
the composition of his lecture showed
the learning which has always been
known to be possessed by him. Many
were heard to remark that he should
long since have taken to the platform,
for which he Is we'll suited.
Very interesting was his account of
his companions in the prison. and of the
memorable escape from the walls of that
dreaded place. His closing remarks as
he spoke of the sons of the veterans of
the civil war and their devotion to their
country, was loudly applauded, while his
tribute to the flag was extremely elc-
quent, being made doubly so from the
fact that it came from one who had
fought and suffered that it might not be
dishonored.
