WON'T PAY TAXES.
Oregon short Line Refuses 10 Beal
Its Share i'm Montpelier.

An important matter of taxation
came to the city's knowledge while
the council was making up its esti-
mate of income and expenditures for
the coming fiscal year, says a dispatch
from Montpelier, Idaho. II is this:
The railway company in this city has
not less than 100000 worth of prop
erty, in the way of round house, ma
chine shop, depot. sidetracks, etc,
and yet the company pays not a dol
lar of taxes on this immense proper
ty holding.
Last year it paid on S0-l00 of one
mile, or on about $6500 of valuation,
in this city, being the assessed vslua-
ton fixed by the state board of equal
ization for its main line. In other
words, II pays no more in this city,
by reason of these Improvements, than
1t pays on the same amount of its
track out in the country, where there
is no round house, side track or other
property except the bare main line.
The state board of equalization will
be asked to right this matter this
year, II it be within their power; II
not, the assessor will be asked to as
sess this property separate from the
main line. Until last year the compa-
ny paid taxes on its side tracks in this
city, but they refuse to do so any
more.

A PECULIAR MAN.
Hls Name Was Lazarus, and He Had
n Peculiar ExperIence.

"In one of my voyages from Cape
Town to England" writes a traveller
II shared my cabin with peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that If he should die
during the voyage | would prevent his
burial at sea. He said that on a pre-
vious voyage he had fallen sick and
was taken for dead and put into a sack
for burial A quartermaster had been
put on to watch the body until 1t was
time for the funeral. When the burial
party arrived the quartermaster in
formed the captain that he thought the
body had moved in the sack. The sack
was opened, and Lazarus eventually
came to life again. Such was the
story Lazarus told me. Lazarus was
a thin man with sallow face. He
had an enormous appetite and appear
ed at every meal, to which he devoted
his whole energies. The good feeding
only seemed to add to his cOrpselike
appearance. One evening sure enough,
when we were about halfway to our
voyages end, he apparently died again.
The doctors took him in charge this
time, however, and he came out of his
trance without any shotted sack cpl
sode. He was met at the London
docks by number Of relatives and
friends, all Of whom looked as IL they
might be suffering from the same COM
plant"

Conflicting stories concerning the
supply of water for the lands on the
Uintah reservation. which will be
opened to settlement on August !, are
being sent from Salt Lake City
The Mormon church is accused Of
fabricating a tale of a scarcity of
water, SO as to frighten away prospec-
tive settlers and thusly give its people
better opportunities to secure the land
Thousands of Mormons, according to
the information received, will regis
ter for homestead claims. This Is
considered pretty good proof that
water will be secured i'm plenty.
The nearest railway point, Provo, Is
mere than 100 miles away from most
parts of the reservation, The Moffatt
road, If 1t is completed as 1t was
planned. will pass through the CEN
ter of the reservation, but it will be
several years before the road goes
there, If it is built there at all,
There is supposed to be plenty Of
water In the Uintah, Duchesne and
Strawberry rivers, yet bitches and
canals will have 20 be constructed to
carry the water to the farm lands.
They will cost a considerable sum- IL
is estimated that the cost will be from
IS to $40 an acre to water the land.
The Uintah reservation lies in Uin-
tab and Wasatch counties, Utah, eX-
tending from the Green river on the
east to within few miles of Heber

RANCE TROUBLES
CLASH BETWEEN
MINERS AND SHEEPMEN
Inside Facts From Granite Paper
Concerning Sheep Shooting in Grant
County This Wcck-NIining Claims
We're Converted Into Sheep Range.

The following article from the
Granite Gem gives the true and inside
facts leading up TO the recent sheep
killing I'm Grant county, news of which
has been published in the East Ore
gonian. The article is as follows:
The following has been handed us
by Henry n. Barnhart with the re-
quest that 1t be published
in your issue of June you pub
llshed an article in which the state
ment was made that Mr. Henry n.
Barnhart had located about so min
ing claims In and near this district,
without regard to their mineral worth,
but for the sole purpose of ranging
sheep upon them, 'in many cases using
fictitious names on the notices.
This ! believe to be an injustice to
myself, and would ask you to retract
the same in so far as 1t touches on
my good faith in making these loca-
tions, for l have powers of attorney,
giving me the right to locate, bond,
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of
mining claims throughout Grant and
Baker counties; also correspondence
the first of the year, in touch with
well known promoter of Chicago, who
is confident of his ability to dispose
of much of the low grade placer
ground which I have located to al
eastern syndicate.
81 have taken charge of these sheer
and am ranging them upon these
claims merely as side issue, and q
means of procuring a livelihood
pending anticipated sales. And as
see it in no wise more antagonisti'
to mining interests than the renting
! of claims to sheepmen, which practic
/ is quite common in this and surround
ing districts"
We have seen the papers Mr.. Barn
hart mentions and as they appear t
be regular will gladly make retractiol
he requests as regards the validity o
the locations he has made. But i
doing so we must say that we do no
uphold him in bringing sheep into thi
community. Especially after the gen
eral expression in favor of keepin
the sheep out of certain bounds tina
was made by the residents of the dis
trict.
In our opinion we do not think law
governing the location of minera
lands in the United States grant tn
locator the privilege of turning hi
locations into stock range and to leas
same for that purpose. If the la
does grant such privileges, there
nothing to prevent stockmen flockin
into the district and taking up ever
foct of vacant land for stock range,

SHEEP INDUSTRY GROWING.
OVER i5.OOO,OOO Head Now Kept i'll
the United States.

America is becoming yearly more
of a sheep raising and mutton eating
country, writes the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune.
This is due primarily to The initia
tive of the department Of agriculture,
which for the last 10 years has been
hammering at the farmer to raise
sheep instead of exporting this sur
plus grain, and which has helped him
i'm every way to this end.
one result is that there were re-
ported on the first of this year As.
10000 sheep on the farms and
ranches of the United States, valued
at $12T3S1,S55, as against less than
$4,000, 900 in 1899. The receipts of
the Chicago stockyards are reaching
upward every year since 1894, when
the yard took over a million more
mutton sheep than in the previous
year.
The department is anxious to inn
press upon the farmer the value of
sheep as one of his farm products,
and it points out that while the sale
soil $500 worth of fertility the far
mer would have to spend that much
in fertilizers to recoup the land.
The same amount OF corn converted
into good mutton and sold at higher
price than the corn would bring,
takes I'm the end from the land not
over $50 worth of fertility, and if the
flock was kept for wool alone it would
not reduce the value of the land more
than SO to 81.
There is particular interest attach
ing to the sheep raising problem Just
now. because the price of mutton is
going up by leaps, not only in the
shops where the customer has to buy
it, for every one realizes this. but in
Chicago, where lambs recently have
touched the unprecedented figure of
$S per cwt., and are now selling nj
about $7.25.

turn the Compliment.
Ii is not an uncommon thing to hear
a man or woman say, There Is some
thing the matter with my stomach"
They never stop to think whether they
themselves are not at fault instead Of
the stomach. 1t is so easy to blame
the stomach. 1t can't say anything
back.
But the truth of the matter is the
stomach is all right; nothing the mat
ter with it at all 1t is what is put into
the stomach that is causing the trou-
Bile. The stomach knows when it re-
celves something that will be injurious
to the body or when it has been over
loaded, and it protests against the in
digestible article or the surplus amount
of food.
1t is acting as friend and sending
out a warning against this abuse. But
instead of being grateful to the stom-
ach and leaving off the indigestiblc
food and the big dinners the man or
the woman continues to load 1t with
pie and cake, pickles and sauces, pork
and pancakes and all sorts of horrid
things, and then they complain that
there is something the matter with
their stomachs.-London Mail.

When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
