Clark c. Thompson, well known horseman, who recently visited AsL- land, Ore say that an effort is being made to capture band of wild ami mals which have roamed the hills and ranges of southern Oregon for several years. They number nearly 1000 and are as fleet as deer. They are showed in at Sican marsh, near the Y ,inax h. dian agency, in tLe silver l. Ike coun, try. They were caught in heavy storm and are surrounded by five feet of snow. As br' wsing is poor, they will Starve unless taken out before spring. The band has been increas- ing for nearly twenty tears. Itstarted with animals winch strayed from the ranges. During late years, when food and prices were low, many horses oi good breeding that have been turned loose by their owners have joined the band, and it is believed that good stock will be found among them.

Responses have now been received from practically all of the South and Central American republics accepting the invitation to participate in the conference of American republics, to be held in the City of Mexico next October. The preliminary work of the congress has been directed from this city, as the United States govern ment has taken great interest in the meeting and has had lhc cooperation here Of the representatives of the southern countries. Several of the republics already either have chosen their delegates or have names under consideration. The south American republics have shown strong inclina- tiOn toward arbitration in the SC tile ment of their frequent boundary diff culties, and there is tendency to adopt this method quite generally and, if possibly, universally, to avoid border conflicts and their attendant menace of war. Some of those inter- ested in the congress have hoped to see 1t bring results similar to The Hague conference, with permanent court of arbitration for the western republics like that at The Hague for international conflicts. in which the countries Of Europe and the United

The stamps for the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo are being printed at the bureau of engraving and print ing. but will not be placed on sale until the exposition opens. The post office department. to say nothing of members of congress, have become tired of the constant demands for special series of stamps for exposi- tions. This is the third issue in les than ten years, but it is improbable that any issue will be made for the St. Louis or Charleston eXpositions. Up to date no such request has been made by the managers of the St. Louis ex- position, and it is very doubtful if 1t would be granted without special ao- ton by congress.

The greatest engineering work of the nineteenth century was the de- velopmento of the railway system which has changed the face of the world. Beginning in 1880 with the locomotive of George Stephenson, it has extendt d with such strides that, after 70 years, there are 466,000 miles of railways in the world, of which l90,0O0 miles are in the United States. Their cost is estimated at forty thousand millions of dollars, of which ten thousand mill ions belong to the United States.

Big Crop in Dakota.
Pierre, S. D., Aug. 14.-General Agent
Johnston. of the Chicago and North
western road, does not agree with the
findings of III. v. Jones, the Minneapolis
crop expert, in regard to the north
western yield OF wheat for this year
and last year, especially SO in regard to
the South Dakota figures.
Before going into the employ eff the
railroad company Mr. johnson was for
six years the travelling auditor of the
vanDusen Elevator Company, for South
Dakota, and made the grain interests
of the state special study, and gave
out number of close estimates in years
gone by. He is watching the situation
as closely as ever. and takes exceptions
to the figures given out for South Da-
kota for both this year and last.
Johnson's estimate Is an increase In
stead of decrease in the acreage of
wheat in South Dakota this year, with
a total acreage OF about 100000 for the
year His estimate Of average yield is
eight bushels per acre. with total yield
of 10000 600 bushels. The Jones estimate
is that South Dakota furnished $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat last year. while john
son estimates the yield for tnar year at
15,o0O,oCO. and this year at double that
amount.
Mr.. Johnosone places his estimate of
the total crop output of South Dakota
this year of all classes OF grain at
double what it was last year regardless
of the hot. dry weather in July. and that
without the loss caused by the heat the
state would have had the largest crop
in Its history.

impatiently awaited. The Huron Gun
Club, as well as farmers thruout the
county, are on the alert for violatcrs of

Sept. 1. The law requires non-residents
to procure licenses before entering the

the number of birds to twenty-five for

that an unusually large number OF MIN
rods from out of the state will be here
when the season opens. There are
goodly number OF grouse and plover,
more than usual, and also some quail,
but the law forbids the shooting of
quail. This game is being very careful
