Hay Crop Much Better Than Expected

Harvesting of the hay crop in the
Bitter Root Valley has commenced in
earnest this week, and many of the
ranchers are complaining of being
handicapped because of the lack of
farm labor. This is unusually the
case at this season of t he year, but 1t
is not expected that there will be any
serious danger resulting from this un.
avoida BILE lack of la Dor.
In nearly all parts of the valley the
hay crop is said to be in excellent
shape and the yield will be very heavy.
The abundant rainfall during the win
ter and spring was of the greatest pos
sible value to the ranchers, and to the
hay crop. For, owing to the light fall
of snow in the mountains this year,
water for irrigatins has been very
scarce, and it looked in the early spr-
ing as though the hay crop, as we'll as
all other crops, would be a failure.
AS it is, the hay crop is exiraordi-
narily good, both in quality and guam
tity, and the ranchers throug hout the
valley are rejoicing at the condition of
things.

provided, Those most concerned are
already looking forward to the day

The "DeviI" Gets the Blame.

A rev weeks ago a most peculiar ar
ticle appeared in an issue of this pa per.
in regard to dog taxes and owners of
the canine population of this city.
Through an oversight on the part of
our devil" as we'll as our proof reader
the notice was allowed to 40 to press
worded in very startling manner
In fact the lives of many of our lead
ing citizens were threatened in those
few lines, for it is a we'll known fact
throughout the country, that no one
pays dog tax unless he is obliged to
do so. Though everyone likes a dog,
especially good dog, it is not proba-
BILE that there is any living person
who would be fool enough to give up
his or her life rather than pay a small
dog tax, and still less probable, that
the city marshall, who is great lover
of dogs, would be. or is ready to swing
for the lives of those many persons
whom he would be obliged to murder
in cold blood if he lived up to the no.
tice, for murder it would certainly be,
as there is no law in this great country
of ours, which would give him the
right to commit such a deed. We
love a joke as we'll as anyone, and
laugh with those who so good natur-
edly appreciate the one on us; but we
particularly wish to join the laughter
as we'll as heartily thank those who
realize it's worth, to such an extent,
that they spread it broadcast, giving
others chance to join in the laugh.
Now the majority of the residents of
this city are peaceful, law abiding
people; but. nevertheless, there are
a great many of them who wish that
such a statement as ours could be en-
forced, if it would keep the fifty odd
barking dogs that run the streets at an
hour when all respectable people are
trying to sleep, quiet.

Death OF w. G.. Wan

The funeral of the late w. C. Wan
was held from the family home at Cor
Wallis Tuesday afternoon at , o'clock.
The diseased was born in Tennessee
seventy-five years ago, and came to
the Bitter Root in 1880 The old gen.
tleman had been i'll for several weeks
and his family took him to Sleeping
Child Hot Springs, thinking that the
change might be of some benefit to
his fast failing health. He seemed to
be considerable better last week, and,
at his request, was taken home again,
but he lived but few hours after
reaching Corvallis. He leaves a wife
and eight daughters to mourn his loss.
Six of his children - Mes. Danes, G,
w. Ward, H. M. Butler, P. M. Threg-
stead, n. d. Stanley and J. w. Morris
reside in the Bitter Root. The other
two daughters : Mrs. Nicholson and
Mrs. Hunt, of Washington arrived in
Corvallis Monday night.

Sheriff Chaffin bringing Croghan up.
H. L. Myers, Donson's attorney, ap-
peared on behalf of Donsor. as spec
ial prosecutor. When brought into
court, both Croghan and Townsend
admitted that they had testified as
claimed about Donson and admitted
that their testimony was not true.
They pleaded in exten uation however,
that they had made mistake, claim
ing that at the time they testified they
thought it was Donson who had wait
ed on them but they had concluded
now that he was not the man at all
and that it was another party who
waited on them and that their former
testimony was wrong and that Don
son sold them nothing and was not be-
hind the bar. County Attorney Calk-
ins appeared with them and moved to
dismiss the cases against Croghan
and Townsend, claiming that 1t was
only mistake on their part. In view,
however, of the fact that Cr oghan and
Townsend openly admitted that they
did testify as charged and that that
testimony was false, Justice Morris
refused to dismiss them and bound
each over to the district court on a
charge of perjury in bonds of five
hundred dollars each, which were fur
nished, and the cases now go to the
district court. The peculiar feature of
the matter is that when Crog han and
testified at Stevensville
that Donson is the man who waited on
them, they were sitting within ten
feet of Donson, who was present at
the time in the court room, and he was
pointed out to them and they were
asked if that was the man who sold
them liquor and they both replied that
he was and that there could be no mis-
take about it and identified him posit
lively and stated they knew him well
and beyond all doubt. Donson was
convicted on their testimony and they
say now he was not the man. The
question naturally arises, it they were
mistaken about Donson how many
more men have they been mistaken
d bout and how much is their testimony
worth in any case?
Immediately after the disposition of
the above charges, Croghan was again
arrested and arraigned before Justice
Morris, upon complaint of w. P. o.
Brien, on charge of perjury against
O'Brien. In hearing before justice
Sedgwick at Steyensville, in which the |
testimony was reduced to writing, and |
again, at Corvallis, before Justice

Farmers Are Cautious in Setting Out

During the past three years a great
