one of the prettest yet most pitia-
BILE romances of the Upland Empire
has just ended in a lonely cabin on
Snake river 40 miles below Hunting
ton, on the Oregon side Of the river.
Ike" Powell, lone prospector
who for 80 years has kept his cabin
open to the traveller, was found dead
in his bed few days ago, and was
buried beside the road under huge
tree which sheltered his cabin.
Powell came west in 1864 and for
10 years prOspected in Oregon and
Idaho without success. He always
hoped to make "A stake and go back
to Pennsylvania, his native state, and
wed the girl of his choice, to whom
he was betrothed.
In 1874 word came that his affianc-
ed had died while nursing miners in
jured in a horrible mine explosion in
his native Pennsylvania town.
The news broke his heart He quit
visiting the settlements of Eastern
Oregon. For four or five years he
was completely lost to the world,
when by accident "a hunting party
from Grand ROnde valley found his
lonely cabin in an almost inaccessi-
Bile canyon on the desolate brakes Of
Snake river.
He lived by hunting, fishing and cul-
tivating IA small garden on the bank
of the Snake From the time he re-
ceived the news of his sweethearts
death he neither shaved nor trimmed
his hair and became a typical hermit
Gradually civilization crowded in
upon his lonely retreat Brownlee's
ferry was established on Snake river
4 road leading from Pine valley to the
mouth of Pine creek was built past his
retreat and freighters. cowboys, pros
pectors and hunters travelled that
mountain highway in passing from
Oregon to Idaho by way of Brownlee's
ferry.
Powell's fine garden of tomatoes,
melons and cabbage and his early
peaches were far-famed. He fed
everybody who passed, but always re-
fused money. He panned out consid-
cradle gold dust along the banks of
the river which he traded for his scant
clothing and shoes.
He never read papers nor books,
and was never known to write let
ter after losing himself in his noun
tain hermitage.
Before he went into his seclusion he
was an excellent violinist, and took a
delight in attending the pioneer
dances, but he never touched violin
string in his last sad years.
Many a hungry, weary and footsore
traveller can testify to the welcome
hospitality of that lonely cabin. and
no one ever left its threshold hungry.
The request of the old pioneer was
that he be buried near his cabin and
that no stone of other monument be
erected to mark the spot.
Tender hands of neighbors laid the
hermit to rest under his pine tree and
his cabin has been closed.
He left as near nothing for identifi-
cation as possible. Not a book, pa
per. or scratch of a pen remained to
tell his story and only his name and
his kindly deeds linger in the memory
of living friends to indicate that such
man as Ike Powell ever lived on
earth

tiOn Mars the Cemetery.
A tombstone censor is employed by
most large cemeteries. It is the duty
Of this man TO see that nothing unseem-
ly in the way of a tombstone Is put up.
\ young engineer in a Norristown
mill was killed by the explosion of a
boiler, and the family of this young
man. believing that the mill owners
had known all along that the boiler
was defective, actually had carved on
the tombstone the sentence, Murdered

sor, of course, refused to sanction such

fighter the surviving brother of the
man wanted to put in glass case be

four medals, pair Of gloves and other
trophies Of the ring. But the censor's
negative was firm.
4 widow who believed that the ply
sican was responsible for her hus-
bands death wished to put on the
tomb, "He employed cheap doctor"
but the tombstone censor showed her
that such an inscription would lay her
open TO heavy damages for libel
Atheists sometimes direct in their
wills that shocking blasphemlcs be
carved on their monuments. The cen.
sor, however, sees to it that these bias
phemles do not disfgure the cemetery

SHEARERS ORGANIZE.
Sheepshearers Form n New Union at
Butte Meeting.


With the adoption of the new consti-
tuition, the Hand and Machine Sheep
shearers' union went out of existence
at meeting in Butte a few days ago,
and the organization will be known
hereafter as the Sheepshearers' Union
of America. The union also withdrew
from affiliation with the American
Labor union. the Montana State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor assembly. and will
go il alone in the world of labor.
The sheepshearers concluded their
fourth annual convention with the
election of the following officers:
Patt Richardson of Butte. presi-
dent and ecretary-treasurer: ]. c.
Carlston of Fairview. Utah. vice-pres-
ident; S. Peralta of San Luis obispo,
Cal, ]. A. Norton of San Francisco.
and A. l.. Tilford of Great Falls,
Mont, members of the executive
board.
1t was decided to hold the next con-
vention of the union in Butte July 23,
1906. That city will continue to be
headquarters for the union.
The power of the executive board
to order strike has been taken away
and other labor bodies will have no
voice in the matters of wages and
strikes of the union.
I'VE have good reason for with
drawing from the head unions" Pres
ident Richardson is quoted as saying.
"Our work is different from that of
any other class of laborers and we
found that there were number of
rules and regulations in the higher
unions which we could not comply
with and get good results.
"We are not in one locality more
than 30 days at n time and 1t requires
about that much time to get the gov
erning unions in action. If we want
ed to strike we had to appeal to the
different executive boards and before
they could do anything we would be
through in the locality where we were
having trouble and ready to move
on to the next place. Sheepshearers
receive about SO per day and their
work has to be done at a certain sea-
son of the year in the various locali-
ties.
"If we are delayed by waiting on
the governing unions to which we
were affiliated we would lose n con-
siderable amount of money in wages.
Our union covers the whole district
of North America and we begin our
work in the southern climate and
work northward as the season pro-
crosses, We are well paid, but our
expenses are very heavy"

Some of the Queer Things Brought
Up In Deep Sea soundinRs.
They caught one fish far down In the
Caribbean that had no eyes at all nor
any places for eyes, but long antennae
ran out from its nose by which it felt
its way and found its food. In the
next haul was u fish with two convex
lenses in place of eyes. These lenses
were highly polished or FURNISHED.
They were of golden hue. and they
cleaned in the sunlight like jewels. An
other fish, a big fellow, had eyes which
grew on stems or stalks that stuck out
six inches from its head Then came
one with an eye that grew on long
stem Ike Il lily stem, quite eighteen
inches from the nose, and the professor
said that it was an eye made for pok-
ing itself into other fishes business.
The stem was flexible and waved back
ward and forward or bent with its own
weight. and sometimes the fish Travelled
with the eye doubled under it about the
middle of its body or trailing in the
sand or mud
Some Of the eyes when put into sea
water in the dark shone like lanterns
Others of the fishes had brilliant spots
along their sides that emitted a ghostly
radiance, and they seemed to have
lighted portfolios or windows like a
slender steamer rushing through the
seas after night.-St. Nicholas.

COTTON ON TIE JUDGEsHIP.
Says an Old Fascination Holds Him
In Present Position.


II have not been given dollar Of

ment of powers; toward the railway
company I am in exactly the same
official position today that have
been heretofore
with these words. w. w. Cotton.
general counsel for the o. r. e. N.
Co., who came home from New York
disposed of the reports that had been
in circulation that his declination Of
the judgeship of the United States
district court for Oregon was due to
the granting Of liberal concessions by
T.. II. Hartman, and that he would
henceforth receive $25. 900 year, in
stead Of $4,000, as at present, says
the Oregon Daily Journal.
"Only one change will result" said
he, "and that is a negligible quanti-
ty merely that some additional cleri-
cal assistance will be procured in the
legal department, and | will be re-
lieyed of some details with which l
have concerned myself in the past"
Mr.. Cotton has been at oyster Bay,
where he talked with President Roos-
evelt, and in New York, where he
was at the Wall street office of the
Hartman roads, and where he con-
ferred with +. H. Hartman. He left
for the east July :, and last Thurs
day started from New York on his
return.
Mr.. Cotton's return this morning
brought him an avalanche Of tele-
phone messages from friends and
business men who desired immediate
interviews. Some wished to confer
with him regarding his successor in
the judgeship. But Mr.. Cotton refuses
to discuss the question.

HIGHER VALUATIONS.
jackson County Property Largely In
creased


The assessed valuation of property
in Jackson county this year will reach
a point far beyond the expectations Of
the people, says the Ashland Record.
Assessor Applegate and the court first
announced that the valuations would
be about doubled, but it seems that a
large amount of new property has
been discovered and in place of doub-
ling many heavy property owners they
have in several instances more than
trebled them and in other cases the
changes in the valuation of heavy
taxpayers have simply been revolu-
tionary.
The railroad will come in for a
heavy assessment. and it will be some
thing like $4,000 or more per mile
on their roadbed. The timber land
holdings, much of which are held by
absentee landlords, and very valuable,
are being carefully cruised and will
add to the roll handsome amount at
a valuation that will surprise the ma
tives.
1t is in evidence already that in
place of a doubling of the total as
sessed valuation the valuation will be
two and a half times greater than
that of the last few years and that it
will be a record breaker. The county
court has promised that the tax levy
will be reduced and that the taxpayer
will not be touched to the extent which
he feared at the beginning and that
the assessment will prove satisfactory
in the end. The best results are not
to be expected from the first year s
assessment. The next meeting of the
county equalization board will be an
interesting session.
