MARSHAL Makes
some OBSERVATIONS
Notes Taken on the Ranges
and Among the Herds.

luanO may re]Olce anew IN the beauties
of our climate. A snowfall of a foo
is reported on the ranges of eastern
Oregon, about May 18th, causing thu
loss of some lambs which had beer
driven too early to the summer rang,
aud at the same time northern Mon
tana reports severe blizzard with
ten feet OF new snow. On every
hand the herders deserted Their
hocks which were found piled under
the drifts.
There is every indication that
Washington county is entering upon
the most prosperous season of her
history. This is no doubt due to
the fact that we have democratic
sheriff and county clerk.
The ranges are abundant and there
is very little friction between cattle
add sheep men. In fact our range
seems almost inexhaustible; localities
where sheep have been grazed the
last two months have shown . steady
improvement all the time. There is
disposition on the part of sheep
owners to respect the COW ranges and
little inclination on part of cattle
men to attempt to enforce the two
mile law. IL is true that all the
sheep in the,county are now cauped
within the two mile. limit. In a few
days this will be changed as the
sheep will be withdrawn to the noun
tain ranges.
The sheepmep are buying and
leasing lands. 1t is probable that
all unclaimed school land will be
leased, thus adding to the school
fund. Where the cattle owners are
uncompromlsing in their opposition
to the sheep industry some choice
range may be scripped 1t will be

KENTUCKY MoUNTAINEERs
Senator Blackburn on the Character
 of the Men Who Shot Marcum.

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky. talked freely to the Washington correspondent of The New York Sun regarding the situ- alton in Breathitt County, where Attorney J. B. Marcum was assassinated several days ago. He said that Kentucky law lessness was confined to the mountains of the State. where the most incomprehensi- ble people in the world live.
 ''They are nearly all ilAterate, half starved and almost naked" said the Sem ator, "yet they are the most hospitable people to be found anywhere. They are dirt eaters and quarrelsome. Many of their feuds are of hundred years stand ing, and I do not believe 1t possible to stay their fighting so long as the people continue to live. They have peculiar code of honor They never molest a wo- man, nor will they shoot an enemy ac- companied by a woman or child.
 "I knew Marcum very well. He was a fine fellow and for seventy days he was able to protect himself by simply being tccompa nied by a woman or a child But they were determined to get him and waited their chance These mountaineers never shoot you except in the back. They always shoot from the bushes and never give man a chance for his life. In their way they are honest. A stranger may stop with them in the meanest hovel and never have any fear of being robbed. The mountaineer will lie in the dirt floor and give his bed to the stranger. He will di. vide his food with him and will be in.

The Boiler Controversy.

New York Kerald.
 The keen rivalry among the manufac- turers of water tube boilers and the con- tradictory results secured from different types have separated the naval world into warning sections and have evoked so much positive assertion and denial that expert opinion is itself most unsettled. It is well. therefore, to preserve an open mind until the official decisions of the different sea powers may be compared. In Great Britain the opposition to the Belleville system has been so tnsistent that expensive sea trials have been under taken and parliament has been forced to act in the matter. While the preliminary report of the committee Is unfavorable to the Belleville type 1t fails to recommend any one of the other systems submitted to test. On the other hand board of Russian naval engineers has just assert ed the superiority of the Belleville. Here is a radical disagreement between skilled doctors in an important case.
 The ships of this country are, as a rule, supplied with the cylindrical or Scotch boiler, the relatively few water tube in- stallations being confined to the Babcock & Wilson the Niclausse and the Thorny- croft types The alleged inferlority of the Niclausse on board the Maine is rush ing our naval administrators into the thick of the fray, and very grave. though improved, charges are being made It may be of interest to note that the diff ferent navies favor the Belleviile, Thorn croft-Schulz, Narrow, Niclausse and Bab- ccok & Wilson in the order named, and that nearly one-half the total installa- tions. torpedo craft excluded are of the BelieVille system.

A Sidewalk Art.
Chicago Tribune.

CNlGdBO
 One of the joys of city life owes its existence to an industry that has risen almost to the dignity of an art without the recognition usually accorded to art. The joy Is that of window gazing and the art Is that of window decorating. Too look at pictures that stimulate one e'ssense of the beautiful much as the painted bits of canvas do Of course, real art is is- interested whereas the object he win dow art Is to arouse covetousn Ass In me breasts of behoders. But In treasure this art defeas its own purpose. or many who have come to love art for arts sake and are able to eliminate the desire Tor possession from their admiration. The shop window of the past revealed but an incongruous group of crudely arranged articles and the woman who oeheld there the dress fabric that semed pest suited to her beauty had to exert Ter fancy in summoning up picture of herself er- rayed in the coveted goods. But now the merchant supplies both larbirc and fancy and is able to hold mirror up to feminine nature and to give to woman the gift of seeing herself as others Will see her. Not enough praise has been bestowed upon the window artist. who in his ability to hold the abstracted gaze and to divert the Sare-laden ind, Is really one of the forces that mtke for the betterment of the world.

suited if offered any money for his hos pitality, yet for $26 he would not hesitate to seize his rife and hide in the bushes and shoot the first man who came along.
 There have been various theories ad- vaneed to account for the peculiar nature of these peonIe, and one Is that many years ago all the escaped convicts from the adjoining States fled into the noun tains of Kentucky for refuge, and their descendants are now raising the devtl It is born in them and nothing can erad- icate it. I doubt whether the man who killed Marcum will ever be arrested and tried. No one would appear against him, but he is a marked man, and sooner or later he will be shot in the same way that Marcum was.
 "I knew that Goebel was going to be killed and l warned him several times but I made one mistake. When the mountaineers were brought down to che capital in a body, though that 1t would occur then, and when they went back to their homes, I thought the danger was passed. but I should have paid more at. tention to the character of the noun taineer and would then have seen through the plans of the assassin. I admit thai 1t is a deplorable situation. but cannot see any remedy except time.

PRICES IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Articles Higher in 19o2-Comment
 on Conditions in United States.

It appears that high prices are quite as much the rule in Great Britain as in Prof sauerbeck's annual statement. "Pri- ces of Commodities" Royal Statistical Society for March 3l 1903. just received by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics show high prices in foodstuffs, in iron and in textile during 1902.
 The statement begins with a series of index number" tables, showing index prices for groups of articles from 1893 to 1902. The index number for the group des- ignated vegetable food stands at 69 for the year 1902, against SO in 1899, and 53 in 1S96; that for animal food" at 87 in 1902, against 77 in 1898, and 73 in 1896: that for 1898. and 62 in 1895; that for textiles at 61 in 1902, against 5l in 1898, and 52 in 1895; and the number for "sundry mater ials" stands at T in 1902, against 63 in 1898, and 62 in 1897.
 Meat was dear during the greater part of the year." says the statement. and beef ruled in June and July higher than at any time since 1883.
 Commenting upon conditions in Ameri- ca, the report says: The United States has again occupied an exceptional position If year ago fears were expressed that the state affairs there was not free from danger. it must now be admitted that they were premature, as the marvellous present day. American securities had another boom, and though a reaction fol- lower, the last prices still occupy high level It is estimated that the iron pro- duction of the States reached the enor- nous total of 100000 tons, and even this was insufficient for requirements" Of the prospects for 1903, the repart says The prospects for the present year are. If anything, a little more hopeful Adverse points in this country are still high taxation. undigested Government loans, and high prices of meat, but the corn crops of the world were plentiful the development in South Africa will do doubt be important the condition in Aus tralia is improving, and 1t is not improb- able that the trade to the East and also to the Argentine Republic will also tn- crease. In Germany the period of liqui- dation seems to be coming to an end. and a return of confidence may be near at hand, but the recovery after the serious depression will naturally be a slow one.
 Much will depend upon the United States. Continued activity will benefit Europe as well, while a sudden break would cause a stoppage of American de- mand and perhaps flood of American products to Europe

Trolley lines are con meeting country towns which could only be reached by wagons. and by bringing them into communication with railroads stations are developing their business. Nearly every State in New England can now be crossed. north and south and east and west by electric cars and In some cases cities as far apart as Portland, Bos- ton, Providence. Hartford and New York have been connected by ''the broomstick train.'
 One of the latest developments of the system is the use for the first time by 8 steam and a trolley road of the same track The New York Central Is to use a stretch of track near Oxford, Mass, about five miles from Worcester. for delivery of coal to section 1t cannot now reach easily This track was laid and Is used by the Worcester and Southbridge Street railway.
