SOuTHLANO.S WINTER.

Ev'ry morn and eve is misty
Till the market tower stands
Looking like far cathedral
Wrought with unseen fairy hands.
And the citys like a picture
Woven on a dreamland loom,
And the air is heavy weighted
With faint and sweet perfume.
And the mist is warm and coaxing
AS a soft kiss on the mouth.
And the roses still are blooming
When it's winter in the South.
And the bayouS seem to Slumber
Where the cypress trees are tall;
And the mockbird croons an anthem,
Like the shadow Of a call
From an angel choir to listen.
And enough leaves eddy down
Just to make a bronze-hued carpet
In the by-ways of the town;
And the red rose CLEANS all winter
Through the perfume-laden mist,
Like the lips your own lips yearn for.
Red. red lips your own have kissed.
There are morning glory blossoms
And the fOur-o' clocks unclose,
And long pearl-robed webs are streaming
From the bush where flames the rose
And the air is opalescent,
And the grass shines misty through
All the whiteness of the morning
Like a green world dipped in dew.
And the red and yellow roses,
And the twisty bayous CLEAN:
When it's winter in the Southland
Life's a sweet and perfumed dream.

How queen RebuYed Chef.

A good story is told of the common
sense of the Italian king and of his
lovely consort, who has an unmistak-
able gift of humor. In the time of
King Humbert the Quirinal household
consisted of 430 persons, who lived in
lordly style and truly regal extrava-
gance When the present young mon
arch came to. the throne he cut down
all expenses and reduced salaries all
round, putting his chef on a moderate
wage. The indignant cook appealed to
Queen Helena to intercede for him
against such treatment; but she added
insult to injury by explaining that he
already received larger salary than
did the Minister of War in Montenegro,
her native country. Brooklyn Eagle

o. II. q N. Requests that Assessment
Gene Before County Court.
The board Of equalization for Umatilla
county has been in cession for two days
and during that time there have been
but few complaints, reports the Tri-
bune. The board is anxiously awaiting
the appearance of property owners who
are dissatisfied with the present assess
ment and if business does not pick up
by the end of the week the board will
adjourn on Saturday.
Tax Agent J. w. Morrow, Of the o.
r. & N. Co., filed request with the
board of equalization asking that the
assessment of the road be reduced from
$4,000 a mile to $500. His request
that the matter not be given a hearing
until the meeting Of the county court
next week, was granted.
Mrs. Susan Welch asked the board to
reconsider the assessment Of her prop
erty. Several lots belonging to Mrs.
Welch are valued by the assessor at
S2185. The matter was taken under
advisement.

RUSSIANS IN RETREAT
Fall Back on Laio Yang Before Awful
Charges of the Japanese Army.

Che Foo, Sept. 1.-Today's dispatches
Indicate that the tide of battle at Liao
Yang has turned appreciably in favor Of
the Japanese. With tremendous and
sustained assaults on the right and cen
ter and threatened rear by heavy force
which has crossed the Tai Use river,
Kuropatkin has been forced to fall back
from his first line of battle to fortified
position established in the town of Liao
Yang and environs. The order to retire
was given after the Russians withstood
the attack from dawn to midnight, as
the Japanese pressure was too great.
Kuropatkin probably feared the move
ment might result in rout. The dis
patch however, says the movement is
now on. This movement will probably
result in the concentration of Kuropat-
kin's army in the position established at
Liao Yang, which is said to be superbly
fortified.

Baker County Confronts Most Serious
Situation.
Unless the cattle market begins to inl-
prove soon a serious problem will pre-
sent itself in Baker county before winter
sets in. Already hundreds Of cattle are
returning from the summer range, hay
ing been driven out by bands Of sheep
so the stockmen claim. Few shipments
have been made from that country dur
ing the low prices Of the past three
years, with the result that the range is
overrun with beef as we'll as range cat
tie.
Such a condition means that stock
men must turn their cattle into pasture
which should be kept for early winter
feeding. Cattle must either go at a
sacrifice or suffer for food before the
winter is over. There are over 5000
head OF fine beef cattle within a radius
OF thirty miles Of Baker City, but there
are few purchasers in the field.
Twenty carloads Of and 3 year olds
have been sold by Hindman & Moore TO
Seattle buyers.

THE STANDARD MINE
THE ORE TREATMENT NOT A
SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Concentration By Usual Water and
Gravity System Will
Be Used.

A number OF Athena men are share
holders in the Standard mine, located
in Grant county, many of whom are con
fident of the mines ability to pay divi-
dends when properly and sufficiently
developed. The following from the
Portland Journal will be of interest to
shareholders:
"At the Standard property, Grant
county, full crews are reported in the
two main drifts. H. HI. Nicholson, gen
eral manager of Killen Warner Stewart
properties, said the main Standard drift
was being pressed ahead steadily, and at
the same time the Willie Boy drift was
being driven. The ore body, that came
into the Standard drift about two
months ago, has been followed consider
able distance and found to be larger
than the average shoot opened near the
surface OF the property. Cobalt-copper
ore, found in the Willie Boy drift, led
the manager to believe that one Of the
Standard cross veins had been inter-
sected in that drive, for neither copper
nor cobalt is found in the Willie Boy
vein except where it is intersected by
one of the cross systems.
Manager Nichols said that the mat
ter of plant for handling ore was under
discussion by the company, but that
nothing definite in regard to time had
been reached. He regards the treat
ment problem not difficult at the Stand
ard, despite its numerous minerals, and
the peculiar properties of cobalt. Con-
centration by the usual water and gray
ity principle will be employed, but be-
| fore the ore is put through it will be
hand-sorted for the richer grades Of co.
bait, some of which cannot be concen-
trated further. The management Of the
Standard and other Quartsburg proper
ties regard the further extension OF the
Sumpter valley railway certain, and
think that within another year all OF
this promising district will be hauling
but six miles, placing ore and concen-
trates on the cars near Prairie City"

TICKET-OF-LEAvE RULES.

Regulations Would Govern Mrs. May
brick II She Returned to England.
She will forfeit her freedom il she re.
marries.
She can be put in prison again if she
returns to England.
It is impossible to extradite her from
any country.
The special license provides that its
holder live under the supervision Of the
Royal Society for the Assistance of Dis
charged Prisoners.
Employment provided by that society
must be accepted and its rules obeyed.
She must not frequent public places
or associate with persons of evil reputa-
ton.
Once every month she must report in
person to the police, giving an account
of her present history. This must be
verified and the report filed in Scotland
Yard.
Neglect OF any OF these provisions
subjects the holder Of the license to
forfeit her provisional freedom, and on
the commitment of a magistrate the con-
wet will be returned to penal servitude
to undergo the term of imprisonment
which had beeu previously commuted.
In the matter of life prisoner this
means detention until death.
This caution win apply to Mrs. May
brick. At the end of month from her
release in Cornwall, she having failed
personally to report to the police, gen.
eral order will circulate from Scotland
Yard for her apprehension, and il she
should return to England without ex-
press permission from the Home Secre-
tary she would be liable without further
proceedings to be recommitted to the
convict prison to serve until death.
It in not the custom Of the English
government, however, to raise any OBJ
lection to convict at large leaving the
country.
All the effort made to release Mrs.
Maybrick by her friends had no weight
She came out at the end Of Is years,
counted from the day she was sentenced
in Liverpool.
The only amelioration she had was
being removed from the AylesburS con-
vict prison to a church home in Corn
wall four months before her license was
issued.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
SHERIFF TAYLOR AND OF
FICERS ARE BAFFLED.
Several Theories But the Only Clue Is
the footprints of the
Murderer.

No clue has developed as to who the
murderer of Chris Ellis is or what the
motive may be that prompted the awful
crime. Sheriff Taylor returned to Pen.
dleton Tuesday night, and being inter
viewed by Tribune reporter, said:
''lt seems impossible to find anyone
who can give US information which will
connect anyone with the murder. Nc
one seems to- have had any particular
cause for anger against the young man,
in fact he seems to have been we'll liked
by everyone.
Zone thing we have, found out. The
young man and the person who shot him
evidently walked along side by side from
a short distance past Ellis home to the
spot where he was murdered. There
the murderer appears to have stepped
back few steps and raised his gun.
When he did this Ellis seems to have
about half turned around. This action
caused him to receive the shot in the
right eye. The whole side of his head
was torn away and he was found lying
on his left side.
II do not think there was any fight
ing previous to the firing of the fatal
shot. 1t is true, the young mans coat
was partly of, but l have been told that
it was favorite habit of his to wear the
garment in that position"

0yama Reports Losses.

Toxic, Sept. 1-At daybi eak the Jap.
anese army on the left delivered fierce
and successful attack against the heights
west OF Hainlintim. 1t pierced the Rus
sian lines and probably forced the re.
tirement of the Russian troops from the
positions on the right and center. Mar
shal Oyama telegraphs his losses In
these assaults as heavy. 1t is believed
mere that Kuropatkin has been sweep
ingly defeated and the possession of Liao
Yang is only matter OF hours.
Toxic, Sept. 1.-The Russian right
and center, defending Liao Yang from
the southwark are retreating this afser-
noon. The Japanese are pursuing the
Russians. AS Kuropatkin's line ac-
cording TO province advices, have oc-
cupied semi-circle several miles to the
southwark of Lao Yang, it is evident
the movement alluded to is his retreat
into the fortified positions Of the towns
and environs and not from Liao Yang
itself northward.

Stops Foreign Shipments


Portland, Aug. 3l.-The Oregonian
says: The refusal of the foreign mar
kets to respond to the increased strength
Of the grain market on this side of the
Atlantic has demoralized the export
business of the northwest. The oper-
atoms of buvers is confined almost ex-
clusively to buying for the eastern and
San Francisco markets. There is some
demand for milling wheat, but this is
greatly curtailed owing to the exorbi-
tant prices demanded. Another condi-
ton which has a depressing effect on the
market is the refusal Of the shipowners'
combine to recede from the unusually
high rate of 27s Sd fixed some time ago.

now value at $500. The average yield
year after year of timothy is one and one
half tons, and for the past three years
hay has brought on an average Of $15
ton. Every year market from 115 to

125 tons from my 115 acres of meadow,
which brings me about $500 or so, be-
sides feeding my horses and few beef
cattle which keep to eat up the odds
and ends. My income is good, and ]
can not imagine that total failure will
ever occur. The cost of producing hay
is not more than 1926 a ton, and at $15
leaves handsome profit. There will
be in the neighborhood of 1900 tons of
baled timothy hay shipped to the Walls
Walla and Sound markets this season,
the cars being loaded as fast as they can
be obtained"
