Law OF FLAG RULES SHIP.
Decision of Court of appeals Recalls
La BourgOgne Disaster.

..The law OF the flag governs the ship is a de-
eision of great importance to shipping interests
which handed down yesterday by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals The case was
one TO determine the liability of the Compagnie
Generate Transatlantique, owners Of the Inflated
La Bourgogne which was lost at July 4.
1897, at a cost of $50 lives.
The lower court is sustained in holding the
French company grossly at fault and to blame for
the excessive speed of the liner in foggy weather.
The lover court is reversed two points. The
first reversal is that the company is liable for
freight ana passenger money which prepaid to
the company. This amounts TO $4,000 francs
which, with interest. totals $35, 900
The lower court held that there could be no
claims for loss OF life. there was no cause of
action cognizable in u of admiralty. This is
reversed on the ground that the French statutes
provide for such damages. La BOurgogne was fly
ing the French flag a the time disaster,
and. therefore. the French statutes apply This is
a point which NewYcrk lawyers say has never
before been decided.

son will have the seed forwarded in
time to plant, so that a thorough test
of this method of cultivation without
water of one of the principal products
of Eastern Oregon can be made by
one of the most reliable and leading
ranchers of the valley.
Mr.. Wright, in fact has his land
already plowed and plowed deeply,
and will be ready for sowing, harrow

If this experiment proves to be a
success there will be no end to the
increase in the raising of hogs fat
tened on alfalfa in Baker county. Ba-
ker county hogs have already a wide
reputation for the sweetness and firm
ness of the meat. They go to the
block in better condition than the ami
mails of almost any other section OF
the United States. If it is found
that alfalfa can be raised in quanti-
ties cheaply on lands without water
there will be boom in pork such as

SIX CoUNCILMEN ON SICK LIST.
City Government Of WaIIa Walla is
Tied Up.


Every member of the Walla Walla
city council with the exception of
Councilman Guy Bridges, is i'll, and If
the city legislative body was called
upon to transact business, the only
ones who could possibly attend would
be Mayor Gilbert Hunt and Council
man Bridges.
Councilman Brewer has been grant
ed a two months leave of absence
and is now at Hot Lake, Ore, recup-
Grating. Councilman Smith is just re-
covering from an accident which oc-
CURED two months ago at Pasco in
which he sustained injuries that have
kept him in bed constantly up to
within the last few days. A team of
wild horses ran away and Mr.. Smith
was thrown from the buggy to which
they were hitched, with such force
that five of his ribs were broken and
injuries to his back were so serious
that he has not been entirely free
from pain until a week ago. Coun-
Gilman Mexican was so i'll Sunday that
he had to call a physician and Coun-
cilmen Martin and Boyer were each
on the list of indisposed. Councilman
Glasford and his wife are said to be
seriously i'll.
AS a result of this condition the
meetings of the council have been
adjourned from time to time and the
meeting tonight may have to be post
poned for lack of a quorum, as Mayor
Hunt and Councilman Bridges are all

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-No
little comment has been created in
Catholic circles by the appeal issued
by Mgr. Falconio to the hierarchy of
the United States, telling them that
the pope now relies on the Catholics
of America for financial ad. 1t is the
first time in the history of the church
that such AN appeal has been made.
"I regret to state" says Mgr. Fal-
COMO I'm his appeal, that notwith-
standing the generous response of the
American people the financial condi-
ton of the Holy See is far from being
prosperous or satisfactory. The pres
ent sad state of some of the most
prosperous nations of Europe and the
increasing demands on the funds of
the church are the principal causes of
the actual financial situation of the
Holy See, a situation upon which our
Holy Father looks with alarm, be-
cause unless his children come for
ward more literally to his assistance,
Notwithstanding the utmost economy
practiced in every direction, he can
hardly meet the exigencies of the vast
administration of the church, which
extends throughout the whole world.
consequently his eminence, the car
dinal secretary of state requests me
to make known to all the ordinaries
of the United States the sad financial
difficulties, in the hope that by their
zeal those sources of revenue which
have heretofore been forthcoming
from France and Italy, and of which
at present in a very large measure
the Holy See is deprived, may be ade-
quately compensated.
Hence, besides the general yearly
collection, which is to remain as here
tofore, and to be more earnestly en-
couraged, other means are suggested
which may prove here in America as
productive as they have been in some
countries of Europe"
These means, Mgr. Falconio sug-
gests, are the formation of "Peter's
Pence societies." the keeping of Pc
ter's Pence boxes in churches and in
stitutions, and "other pious devices
which the piety of the faithful may
suggest"

FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Bills i'm the Legislature to Create New
County From Part of Crook and

County From Part of Crook and
Wasco.
A bill has been introduced in the
oregon legislature to create the coun-
ty of jefferson, from portions of
Crook and Wasco, with the town of
Antelope as the county seat until the
year 1906, when the permanent coun-
ty seat shall be located by vote of
the taxpayers of the new county.
This is the same bill that was for
mulated at the last session, to create
the county of Stockman. The East
Oregonian was the first paper in the
state to suggest the name of Jeffer-
son, and if this bill is passed, and
the name jefferson retained for the
new county, the suggestion of this pa
per will have been needed by the citi-
zens of that district.
The Salem Statesman has urged all
along that the new county should be
called Nesmith, in honor of Oregon's
honored pioneer citizen.

STOCK VALUES DECLINE.
Montana Shows Decrease in Ship
ments of Horses.

The annual report of Secretary w.
G. Preuitt, of the state board of live
stock commissioners, of which John
T. Murphy is president, shows that
the year just closed has been one of
the most Improbable in the history
of the business in Montana, says the
Helena Independent. The drought in
the early part of the year. later the
packing house strike, and then the
glut in the eastern markets are given
as the causes of the poor prices. The
shipments were heavy notwithstand-
ing, due to the fact that growers had
to ship to reduce the number on the
ranges.
The year was considered an excep-
tionally unfavorable one for the stock
interests, and because of market con-
ditions last fall a large number of
cattle were held back for the season
and up to the latter part of June of
the past year the prospects were ex-
ceedingly bright.
At that time, however, the packing
house strike occurred and the cattle
market was paralyzed as a result,
while a drought set in on the ranges,
and what promised to be a most IA
vorable year turned out to be one of
the most disastrous seasons in the
| history of the stock industry.
When the strike was finally adjust
ed the market was so glutted with
| livestock that the prices, realized
were ruinous, particularly in view Of
the fact that range cattle were not in
| first-class condition, and shippers
suffered both as to price and weights.
Notwithstanding this, shipments were
reasonably large, the total shipments
out of the state aggregating 16S,525
! head, of which 1888 head went to
eastern markets, S940 to Pacific coast
markets, 2627 to Canada, and 1920
to feeding districts, making the total
output for the year 22S,775 head,
when the 10000 head estimated for
home markets is included. Values OF
cattle declined over 40 per cent in the
past year.

Recovery OF Strays.

Out of these shipments the inspec-
tors recovered 21,316 head OF strays,
of which number 1887 cattle and one
horse were paid for through the Mon
tana Stock Growers Association,
while the remainder, or 1858, were
remitted for direct to the respective
owners from the place of sale. Sixty
six head of stray cattle were found
and sold in Canada by the Canadian
association and proceeds RENTED to
Montana owners

Shipments of Horses.

The shipments of horses during the
year 1904 aggregated 1884 head, all
of which were inspected by stock in
spectors or sheriffs in the county
from which they were shipped. This
is decrease over the previous year
of about 10000 head, and the range
horses in Montana are being pretty
thoroughly shipped out.
