G. d. MURPHY WAS RELEASED.
Not Shown That He Had Any Purpose
to Defraud.

G.. d. Murphy was released from
the county Jail yesterday on orders
from the sheriff of Spokane, Wash,
who wired that he would not secure
requisition papers for him. Murphy
is the man who was brought here last
Friday from Echo by Deputy Sheriff
Spike, who arrested him on informa-
tion sent out from the Spokane office.
The charge upon which the arrest was
made was that of obtaining money
under false pretenses, and was sworn
man, Wash. The day following the
arrest the officials here were noti-
fled that If Murphy could raise $135
the charge would not be pressed
against him. This Murphy was una
BILE to do, and it seems the charge is
not to be pressed against him in spite
of that fact.
According to Murphy's account of
the affair he is in debt to different
parties at Freeman to the extent of
about 500, of which but $40 is owed
the man who caused his arrest. Moth
ing has been shown to connect him
in any way with having criminal In
tentions, and in view of his release it
would seem the charge against him
was not we'll founded.
At the time of his arrest Murphy
was working for Asa B. Thomson,
near Echo, and said last night that
he would return there to work. He
was overjoyed at being turned loose.

Schools in which there were but
four or five attending were found in
the north end of the county by Su-
perintendent Frank X. Welles, who
has just completed tour of the dis
tricts of that section. Superintend-
ent Welles returned last evening af-
ter 10 days spent among the schools
at Milton, Freewater and the country
districts tributary. To an East Ore
gonian reporter he stated this morn
ing that he came across several
schools in the foothills east of Mil
ton in which there were from four
to eight pupils present. In the Sec
tion where this occurs the land is
owned by a few large farmers, who
for the most part live in the towns
during the winter, sending their chill
dren to the schools in those places.
The few who remain scarcely justify
the maintenance of the country dis
trict
Many of the schools in the districts
mentioned above are kept up because
of the impression that were school
not held the district would be abol-
ished. This the property owners of
the district do not wish to see, be-
cause of the effect it would have
upon land values.
In the superintendent's interpreta-
tion of the law the school may be
suspended by a vote of those in the
district and the organization still re-
tanned. According to section 233 of
the law the above may be done, pro-
vided arrangements are made for
sending the pupils to adjoining dis
tricts when such is desired. Were
this fact generally known it is proba-
BILE that the schools in some of the
districts would be suspended.

HORSES FROM THE INTERIOR.
Two Bands Brought for the Local
Markets.

A harbinger of spring is the pres
ence of two bands of horses that have
been brought to this county for the
early market. Each year there is
considerable demand for work horses
among the wheat men just prior to
the beginning of spring work, and
the dealers now here are to take ad-
vantage of that situation.
James York is the owner of one of
the bands, in which there are 22
head, and arrived with them yester-
day from Baker City. After remain
ing here a short time Mr. York will
take his horses into the Adams and
Athena neighborhoods.
This forenoon another band reach
ed here from the John Day. They are
owned by H. Y. Blackwell, a stock
man of northern Grant. In this band
there are so horses, and two car
loads of them will probably be sent
to Lewiston, Idaho.

Mayor W. F. Matlock is In receipt
of the following letter from an Iowa
man, who has lost his brother. Any

SOIL EXPERT MEANS COMING.
Will Examine Soils In Relation tc
Winter Irrigation.

Judge S. A. Lowell received a let
ter this morning from Senator Full
ton. conveying the information that
Soil Expert Thomas H. Means will
reach Oregon March Is. Mr.. Means
is an inspector sent out by the de-
partment of the interior for the pur-
pose of making investigations on the
subject of winter irrigation. Analy-
sis of soils are made by him to as
certain its water retaining capacity,
the supply of water during the win
ter season is ascertained, and the
probable effect of winter irrigation
upon surrounding land investigated.
The portion of Umatilla and Nor
row counties lying southwest of Echo
probably furnishes greater possibili-
ties for winter irrigation than any
other section of the state. and in con-
sequence the coming visit of Inspec-
tor Means is awaited with interest by
those who are anxious for the devel-
opment of the arid section.

READY FOR THE FAIR.
Inland Empire Counties Are Making
Preparations for Exhibits.

The Spokesman Review, in speak
ing of the activity among Inland EN-
pire counties that are getting ready
for the Lewis and Clark fair, says:
Inland Empire counties are alive
to the need of preparing early for
adequate representation at the Lewis
and Clark fair. Cooperation between
several counties of Eastern Washing
ton has already been proposed and
the individual action of Idaho and
Eastern Oregon counties indicates
that the interior section will make a
showing that is certain to attract at
tention.
Umatilla county has been allotted
one of the choicest locations in the
agricultural building, and the aim of
the people of that county is to make
the exhibit equal to, If not better than
any other in the state. The people
of Latah county, Idaho, recently held
an enthusiastic meeting at Moscow,
committees were appointed and a
plan of work will be outlined that
will insure that county having a dis
play that is highly creditable.
The fair will open in three months,
so there is reason for this activity
1t takes time to gather the best that
a county has to exhibit and for the
next 80 days there must be uninter-
rupted work if attractive displays are
to be in place when the formal open
ing takes place.
1t goes without saying that the In
land Empire showing must be Of the
best, for unless there is a large and
comprehensive collection of the varied
natural products, of this section, it
can not be expected that attention
will be drawn to its great resources
or that visitors will be moved to make
investigation of the opportunities for
investment or home seeking.

men to go after them. Horses be-

after fighting around for time give
up easily and perish in the cold.
An agent from Harrington, Neb., is
said to have gone out on the range
and driven in large number OF
horses and cattle and took them to

ing cared for. At many places cat
tie have been loaded in stock cars
and the cars backed to a sheltered
spot, the stock being taken care of in

NEBRASKA STOCK SUFFERING.
Billiards Are Causing Heavy Losses
on the Plains.

A dispatch from O'Neill, Neb., says:
After having waited for over a week
for detailed reports in regard to the
condition of cattle and horses on the
ranges, some anxiety is being felt
over the situation. 1t is feared that
more than the usual amount of suf-
fering during a hard winter is being
sustained. When the last reports
were received there was five and six
inches of snow on the level, which
with a high wih6 would prove disas-

vANsYCLE WHEAT LITTLE HURT
Not Nearly so Much so as Nearer to
PendletOn.

According to Julius Nelson, farm
er of the Vansycle country, who is
here today, the wheat in his section
of the county is not damaged to as
great an extent as it is closer to Pen
dleton, and that the wheat around
Helix seems to have suffered worse
than other places, The Vansycle
farmers are said to have seeded later
than those to the south, and in this
way is their small loss accounted for
the wheat not being above ground at
the time of the freeze.
