A PRACTICAL PLAN.

The conditions confronting the cattle
interests OF the state viewed from th'
standpoint OF finance and hunanitar.
ianism,is to be regretted. A severe win
ter would bring death for many OF the
dumb brutes and consequent loss to the
owners. The loss of hay by fire in Kla-
math county. where fire swept the rich
marshes. reduced the hay crop of the
southeastern part Of the state materi-
ally. A shortage of hay is also report
cd from the other cattle districts of
eastern Oregon incluiing Grant, Har-
ney, Maiheur and even Umatilla coun-
ties. Alfalfa hay is now bringing as
much MS SO a ton whereas ST has here
tofore been considered good price at
This season of the year. This high
price extends up into the irrigated
regions Of Yakima. Wash.
cattlemen realize that there are more
cattle on the eastern Oregon ranges
than hay can be provided for. even at
exhorbitant prices and it is to save the
prospective loss and avoid the inhu-
name contingency of allowing cattle
bones to bleach on the eastern Oregon
plains that relief is sought.
One source of relief is to transfer the
surplus stock from the eastern
slope Of the Cascade mountains to the
western slope of the Coast range. Col
onel R. c. Judson. who is thoroughly
acquainted with the climatic conditions
and has had experience in handling
stock. thinks this is practical solu-
ton, so far as land can be had on the
coast for grazing purposes, at reas-
enable cost.
Clatsop and Columbia counties have
the advantage over other sections for
grazing eastern Oregon stock on ac-
count Of transportation facilities. and
il is likely the experiment will be tested
in this section. A prominent cattle
raiser of Wasco county has offered to
lease from 5000 10 5000 acres of land
along the lower Columbia, for cattle
grazing purposes, providing he can get
the land for a term OF years. Others
in eastern Oregon are looking out for
way to carry their stock through the
winter, and when one herd is brought
into this section others may be expect
ed to follow. Such a move will result |
in attracting stockmen's attention to
the grazing possibilities of the coast
counties and in a rapid in
crease Of cattle, sheep and goats that
are supported on the ocean side of the
Coast mountains. In no section of the
country can stock be raised at less ex-
pense than here. Two and three
year old cattle now range Clatsop's
lills that were never fed mouthful
md are fat enough to make good beef.
These. however. were raised here and
lave known nothing but the moist eli
nate during the winter season. This
iossibly is an advantage coast cattle
possess over cattle from the ranges of
astern Oregon brought here after they
ave grown up. The rains of the win
er might put humps on the backs of
he eastern Oregon cattle the first
winter. If turned loose like the home !

Denver, Feb. IA special to the
Republican from Cheyenne, Wyo., says
the railroads in southern and eastern
Wyoming have become blockaded by
snow in several places Last night an
average depth of ten inches of snow

main line of the Union Pacific open,
but today trains were snovbound en-

Great difficulty was experienced in
moving trains on the Denver Pacific.
Six miles south of Cheyenne snow filed
the cuts even full and several trains
are stuck fast. The regular noon train
from the south was tied up at Greeley
all day while a rotary pillow battled
with the drifts. Several cars of a
freight train were drifted in so badly
in what is known as the ''hole," a few
miles south of the city. that a large
gang of shOvelerS was sent to release
them. During the afternoon the snow
dFifted back almost as fast as it was
shOveled out.

FOUGHT MOUNTAIN LION
Charles C. Clauson, of Price.
Stoned the Animal
to Death.
(SneciaI to The Herald.l

Price, Utah, Feb. 17.-This town lays
claim to the champion wildcat fighter
and mountain lion exterminator in
Utah, in the person of Charles c. Clau-
son who, had he lived in the days of
Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett.
would have made these old frontiers
men look like the northeast corner of
a lead dime. Clauson follows ranch
ing in the summer, but during the win
ter months keeps the wolf from the
door by hauling coal from the mines
north of town to consumers here.
A day or SO ago. and just after a
heavy snow had fallen, he started with
his team for coal When about five
miles out on the mesa he ran into a
mountain lion in the middle of the road,
which was going in the same direction
and refused to as much as divide the
right of way. Being in a hurry, Clau-
son concluded to- drive over him, but
the horses protested. He had his Win
chester along, but was afraid to shoot
for fear of soaring the team.
The road was freer from snow than
the adjoining sides, and cobblestones
being plentiful, CIauson jumped from
the wagon and began pelting the lion,
which turned and made battle.
A hand-to-hand encounter took place
in the road. with the result that Clau-
son came out victorious. The cat was
killed and. as a testimonial" as the
patent medicine man would say. Clau-
son shows the hide without bullet
hole or the mark of knife. The skin,
which. was taken off whole. is a fine
specimen and measures a little over five
feet from tip to tip. Clauson says this
Is the third lion he has slain in COM
bat without a gun. Clauson hasn't a
scratch on him. Clauson weighs a lit
tie over 100, pounds, while the cat he
Slew must have been two-thirds of this
weight.

REPLY TO THE REGULARS

Dover, Del, Feb. 1.-THE twenty one
Addicks Republicans in the legislature,
in conference today, formally replied to
the ten regulars, refusing to make any
other settlement regarding the election
of two United States senators. Con-
corning Addicks' withdrawal, the an
sWer says:
1T may be admitted that there was
a desire to show clearly and definitely
whether the personal candidacy of Mr..
Addicks was indeed the cause of the
political anarchy in this state or wheth-
er it was. in effect. a fractional fight for
supremacy alone, and the spOiIS of
Office No part of its inspiration was
due TO desire to trade or dici1er over
these high positions. The situation is
clear. Mr.. Addicks has withdrawn as
candidate before this legislature.
There is no longer any reason why the
party should not unite and choose two
senators of the United States.''

THE DEADLY DYNAMITE
Two Men Killed, Two Seriously

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. IA special

number of others slightly hurt as the
result Of an explosion of dynamite.
The Dead.

The explosion occurred last Saturday
afternoon Steel and O'DonnelI had

the dynamite he could hold in two
hands and dropped it into a bucket of
hot water. Immediately there was a
deafening explosion, heard for miles
Steel was blown twenty-five feet from
where the bucket stood, He was horri-
bly, mutilated. O'DOnnell's body was
blown fully $50 yards, part of it Iodg-
