him to double up a poker as a means
Of demonstrating his muscular power.
On one occasion, by means Of patent
arrangement, he raised nearly shoulder

TRAILING SHEEP.
May BE the Last Great Drive Across
States from the Pacific
Northwest


J. I. Carson, a well-known sheep
drover, was lately in Portland pre-
pairing to start "on the trail' with
$500 yearling wrthers, purchased in
Morrow county. He said he would
like to buy about 5000 more, but re-
marked: "They are holding 'em too
high for me. am willing TO pay S2.25
head for wethers, and S2.T5 for
ewes, but eastern Oregon sheepmen
think they are worth more, so we
can't trade"
Mr.. Carson, reports the Morning
Oregouian, said he would start his
big flock early in May, just as soon
as the sheep had been shorn. lie
would probably ship by train from
Heppner to Huntington, and ferry
across the Snake river near the ter
minus of the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation. He had not yet solved
the problem as regards crossing Wy
oming, as the new quarantine law OF
that state was framed to prevent
sheep trailing" across its lands. He
was thinking, therefore, of spending
the summer and fall in the Wood
river mountains, and would decide in
the meantime how to invade Wyom-
ing.
He thought it would be the last
band of sheep "trailed" across the
state of Idaho, as the Snake river
plains are now nearly all claimed for
range. and the water has been about
all taken up. In one locality he will
have a 25-mfle drive between water
ing places, and as six miles a day is
a fair days travel, the sheep will
have to 90 without water for four
DAVIS on a stretch. He will drive over
this region in the night time, as the
weather will be too hot TO enable the
animals to travel without water. The
country along there is sage-brush and
sand, and great care will have to be
exercised in order to avoid losing
sheep. He win provide the band with
20 bells. he says, and by counting
these and the black sheep frequently
the men will be able TO miss any large
bunch that might be left behind.
Trailing sheep across Oregon, Ida
no and Wyoming used to be a pic
mic" Mr.. Carson says, when the
country was open, but now we ex-
pect more or less trouble from people
who claim the grass all along the
route. We can hunt and fish while
the sheep are resting during the heat
of the day, and our frequent change
of location creates perpetual novelty.
Once in awhile some irate farmer or
cattleman gets after us, fearing our
focks will eat his grass all up before
we get by, but we have thus far
avoided any serious trouble, and we
hope to pull through without any in
this our last trailing venture across
Idaho
Mr. Carson has been purchasing
Oregon sheep for the trail for quite
a number of years. he says, but never
had to pay as much for them as now.
Five years ago he said, 81 bought
all the yearlings ! wanted at 81
head in eastern Oregon, and drove
them through TO Central City, Neb.,
where / had them fed on corn that
cost eight cents a bushel, and on hay
at So a ton, delivered. And yet our
firm made no money out Of the trans
action-iust came out even. We hope
to make money now

KEPT HIS NERVE
The Lecturer Was Equal 10 the Occa-
sion When Asked an Embar-
RAISING Question.

The late Isaac Bromley, a noted ed.
itoria writer, was cool, calm and col.
lected," Seldom was he put ints place
so tight that his nerve" did not dis
close an open door. The New Haven
Register tells this story of the way he
once saved himself: Bromley was
lecturing before a local institute in
Mtchfeld county, Connecticut, upon a
trip he had recently made to California
and the Yosemite valley, and concluded
with a beautiful description of the
Bridal Veil falls, which so charm all
who visit them. As he took his seat
he was surprised TO see the man who
had presided over the meeting step
forward and say; In accordance with
our usual custom we shall now be glad
to hear any questions that the lecturer
NAV be desired to answer in relation
to the subject upon which he has been
talking At this tall, red-headed man
rose in the audience. and with a rasp-
ing voice said: 1 would like to ask the
lecturer the exact height of the Bridal
Veil Bromley, who had expected
nothing of this kind, and was never
strong in figures, was entirely taken by
surprise, but gave no sign thereof as he
rose and advanced to the front of the
platform and coolly answered: i did
not measure them, but as nearly as l
can remember the exact height is 361
feet 9la inches No further questions
were asked"

ONCE CHEF OF THE HURoNS.
Edmund Kenn, the Great Actor, Sc
Iected TO This Honor by the
Quebec Tribe.

Among the valuable paintings and en-
cravings mentioned in the London pa
pers as having been sold lately in that
city at auction at Sotheby's was the
engraving of a portrait Of the great
actor, Edmund Kean, as an Indian
chief. This is explained as follows:
When Kean was acting in Quebec in
1926 four Huron chiefs witnessed his
performance of Sir Giles Overreach.
Kean gave each Of them a silver cup as
d souvenir. They in return, to show
their gratitude, begged him to honor
them by becoming a member of their
tribe.
He assented with avidity, and under
the nom de gerre of Alentenaide was
chosen as a chief of the Canadian abo-
rhymes. Dressed as one of the tribe he
had his portrait painted by +. Meyer in
1927, and an engraving from that paint
ing, presented by Kean himself to his
friend Halpin, was the one included in
the sale.
Another lot at the same sale COM
prised miniature portrait of Mrs.
Kean, with a LOCK of her hair and also
a lock of her husbands hair. There was
likewise sold an autograph letter, in
which Mrs. Keau complains TO her hus-
band Of her treatment.

the lord chief justice, who had missed
a mumbled word, interrupted with the
question: What did you say? what
was your last sentenee?" Three
months, my lord" said the erestfallen

sary to add that the lord chief justice
forgot his admission, or remembered
It only in the prisoners favor, when
that particular sentence had TO be

Some Of the citizens Of Post Falls
precinct. have been very much exOr.
cised since election because no votes
were recorded in that precinct for the
prohibition electors, while 1t is a well
known fact that several prohibition
votes were cast there. An examina-
tion Of the poll books of that precinct
explains the cause. As there were
fourteen electors on the officiall bal
lot, there was not room In the space
allotted for recording the names, So
the prohibition electors were carried
to page7 Of the poll book, where 8
votes are Tailed for them. When the
commissioners canvasSed the vote
they did not find the names under
the proper heading so they concluded
that no prohibition votes had been
cast in that precinct.
There Is no one in particular to
blame for the oversight, unless it be
the clerks of election of the precinct,
who failed to make note OF the fact
that the prohibition vote for presi-
deutial electors was recorded on a
page other than the one used for re-
cOrding the votes OF the electors.
