f. C. Rowe staff correspondent of
Leslie's Weekly, who visited Boise a
year ago, and made trip to Thunder
Mountain, in the interest of his paper.
arrived in Boise yesterday, en- route
to Eastern Oregon.
When seen last evening, Mr.. Rowe
said the illustrated article on Thun-
der Mountain, published in Leslie's
Weekly, had apparently awakened
considerable interest, as over 1000
letters had been receivd from peo-
pie who wanted to know more about
that section. He said he wished to
learn the latest facts about the deveI-
opment that had been made during
the summer In order that he might
write a supplemental article, which
would answer the inquiries that are
heing made. There is to be no adver-
tislng oonDcoted with it, but a straight
business statement of facts. He will
gather information here from the
most reliable sources, before resum-
ing his journey this afternoon

SHEEP ON RESERVATION.
Indians Demand 2M Cents Per Head
for Crossing.

Affairs in relation to the prohibi-
ton of sheep crossing the Reservation
ON the way out from the mountains
remain at standstill. The entire
Oregon delegation in congress claims
to have done all that it can do, indi-
vidually and collectively, with the in
terror department to secure a modifi-
cation of the order, but has failed.
The latest advices from the acting
commissioner of Indian affairs are to
the effect that through their local
representative the Indians on the res
ervation would make proposition
that might be considered as the end
of the controversy whether accepted
or rejected by the shsepmen. The
Indians take the poslS'on (and posi-
lively refuse to accept any modifica-
ton of the proposition), which is no
more nor less than a demand for 21a
cents per head for every sheep in the
mountains before it can be driven
across the reservation. On the other
hand, the sheepmen positively refuse
TO accede to this.
The present necessity for driving
sheep from three to five days longer
and corresponding greater distance
to get them from the summer to the
winter range, imposes heavy eX-
pense upon the sheepmen. The situ-
alton is aggravated by the fact that
owing to the difficulties of the trail
1t is not possible to haul hay upon
all of the route, and as every vestige
of green thing was long ago eaten off,
and the sheep are so numerous that
nothing can grow along the trail in
spite of the rains and warm weather,
the gaunting of even the strongest
sheep is considerable and unavoida-
ple, while there is downright suffer-
ing among the weaker animals.
1t will be even more difficult to get
the flocks to the mountains next
spring, on account of the encum-
brace of young lambs.

Men in the Trade Are Pondering Over
the Situation in Which the Myste1i-
Gus Hand Of Rockefeller Seems to
Be Operating Extensively.

This morning every eye in the flax
seed and Hnseed oil trade of the
northwest was upon the weekly re-
port of Argentine shipments, which
from that far-off country to America
This is the first big lot shipped from
Argentine to America in several years.
1t confirms the reports of month ago
that prices in America were danger
ously near the foreign export point
when seed in Minneapolis and Duluth
was around $1.16, against the more
recent figure of $1.05.
Never in the history Of the trade has
there been a situation like the pres
ent one. The trust" or American
the greatest quantity Of oil and seed
ever got together. 1t represents any
where from 100000 to 15,0OO,0OO
bushels, nearly all bought above pres
ent market values. The trust is car
rying this tremendous weight over into
a new crop year.
The American Linseed Oil company
is Standard Oil property, and Stand
ard Oil means Rockefeller, and
Rockefeller doings are always n1ys-
FERROUS. Hence for a fortnight or
longer the trade has been guessing
and theOrizing over a number of
strange moves affecting prices vitality.
OF these the most important was the
heavy selling of seed in Duluth, by
the representatives Of the trust. The
selling looked like predetermined ef-
fort to break the market, yet why a
concern carrying such an enormous
load Of seed should deliberately. put
prices down on itself was what the
trade could not understand.
Is the Trust the Bear.
| AS a result of much thought over
the matter, the trade has about con-
Icluded that the recent heavy decline
4 was deliberately brought about by the
trust for the purpose of discouraging
4 Northwestern farmers from sowing fax.
ISpring was backward and the trust s
1 big oil stock not being reduced rapid
lily. Eastern oil men were flirting
with Argentine. The trust saw the
Iimpossibility of getting prices up high
seed would flow in. Meanwhile the
Red river was wet and wheat seeding
backward with the prospect that
Impatient farmers might SOW much
i fax instead. The trust has long
4 purse back Of 1t and If 1t has to, 1t can
4 carry along its record breaking stock
i a year or two until it can get out Of it.
But even a Rockefeller would not care
to carry along a big jag of seed, and
have another big crop come in on him.
4 Hence the most important thing to do
$ was to put the price low enough to
discourage fax seeding as much as
possible, and hence the recent re-
] markable spectacle Of a big interest
owning the biggest lot Of particular
commodity ever known, engaging In
the apparent inconsistent business Of
, knocking the price of that commodit,
: lin the open market.
