MAN HUNT is ON.
Grant County Rustlers to be Run
Down.

Long Creek, Or, Nov 11-Intense
excitement prevails in the Long Cretk k
country tonight over the formation of a
Deputy Sheriffs' posse to round up and
capture the gang CT horsetheves whose
depredations have become so wide
spread and bold as to make the situa-
ton on the ranges of Northern Grant
intolerable. So
Citizens are joining the posse in such
numbers as to make ultimate capture of
the marauders almost certain. Only
three specific warrants have been issued
and the names in these cases are with
held at the request of posse leaders,
who do not wish to make public the
identity of the men they are pursuing
until the arrests are made.
The present uprising 10 Northern
Grant against the semi-organizad gang
of rustlers, from whom no mans horses
have been safe, is the climax Of years of
patient endurance. Individual arrests
have been made from time to time by
the Sheriffs of Grant and UmatiIla
Counties, but the band as q who'e has
never been broken up. Occasional re-
cruits from trusted sources have kept
the outlaw ranks from depletion.
"We'Il chase this gang till HI
freezes over if we don't catch 'em,"
tereely remarked one of the officers to-
day, and the same note of determination
is echoed by every stockman rallying to
the hunt.
1t is the peculiar system of this par

abled the members to operate success.

OUSTING THE MOLE.
New Method Being Employed to
Destroy the Pest on the Expo.
sitiOn Grounds.

While every man has his trade, aud
there are many strange ways of making
a living, it is doubtful if there is anoth-
er man in America who makes his liv-
ing as does M. T. Whitney, of Chitwood,
Oregon. Mr.. Whitney has been en-
gagged to destroy lhe moles which have
threatened to undo to large extent the
work of beautifying the grounds of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition
at Portland. For time it was feared
that the beautiful lawns on the exposi-
tion grounds would be spoiled by the
borings Of the moles.
In his work of determination Mr..
Whitney uaes a method which he him
self discovered, and which he declares
to be most effective. The NOES are
killed in their holes by gases which are
forced into the burrows by the explo-
sion OF patent cartridge. The cart
ridge is lighted, thrust into the mouth
of the hole, and then covered over with
dirt, the dirt being tamped down hard.
When the cartridge explodes half a min
Mt 1lfn h, 4
gendered are forced to every part of the
barrow, and the mole dies wherever he
happens to be.
The cartridge is an interesting piece
OF work. 1t consists of an ordinary
piece OF fuse. six inches long, about
which is wrapped paper covering con-
taining small amount of fine black
powder. The ends of the cartridge are
fastened to prevent the powder escap-
ing. The whole contrivance resembles
common fire cracker. II is exploded
in the same way, the only difference
being thst the powder, being loosely
packed, does not explode SO violently.
Mr.. Whitney, the inventor, is an Ia
teresting old man, and talks of his trade
modestly, though with entire confidence
in his method.
1.-The cartridges were used extensive
ly by Prof. George Coote of the O. egon
Agricultural college," he said. "By
means of them Prof. Coote managed to
rid the campus of the college, at Cor
Wallis, OF gopher pest he had tried in
vain to destroy"
Mr.. Whitney admits that where the
animals have bored in soft. loosely
packed earth, as in a garden, his meth
cd is less effective, but he claims that
even in sich cases the moles and goph-
ers can be killed off in time. The Fair
gardener is satisfied with the work so
far.
When Mr. Whitney began his work
at the fair grounds a month ago. he
found the ground everywhere honey
with the borings of the moles. !
He has already used at least a thousand
cartridges, and will probably have to
use as many more, but when he has
his work there will not be a |
mole hill on the exposition grounds.

cember.

Portland, Or, Nov. 15.-Although
nearly seven months still remain before
the opening day, June !, the construc-
tion work on the grounds and buildings
OF the Lewis and Clark Exposition is
rapidly nearing completion. Several OF
the main exhibit palaces are already
finished and the completed state of the
landscape gardening is exemplifed in
the beautiful lawns and beds of bloom
ing flowers which now grace the site.
Three of the main exhibit palaces

Exhibits building, and the Liberal Arts
buiding-are under roof and ready to
receive exhibits, shipment Of which

Der 1. The Agricultural palace, the
next to the largest building on the
grounds, which, it was stated Blk
months ago, would be ready for ex-
hibits November 1, was ready on the
specified .te. The Forestry building,
probably the most interesting on the
grounds, is we'll advanced, the massive
timbers which compose the walls and

The colonnada entrance, located at
T~enty-sxth and Upshur streets, about
eighteen minu es' ride from the bust
ness section of Portland, admits one to
the fgrounds. From the entrance a
glimpse is had of the grand court

Lake, the Government Peninsula, and
the river in the vista. Flankipg the en-
trance are the Administration building,
and the police, fire and emergency sta

broad avenues, with spacious. sunken
gardens between, the central figure of
which will be the statue of the heroine,
Sacajawea, one reaches the parspet at
the head of Lakevew Terraces. From
this commanding position a series of
br ad steps, with massive ballustrades,
lead down to the shore of Guilds Lake. |
At the foot of this Grand Stairway is
the band stand, and on the shore of the
lake the esplanade starts. The esplan-
ade, already we'll under way, will lead

The Trail, which is the name given
