An interesting life rs that OF An
tonic Apache. who has just been here
in the interest of an Indian settlement
near Los Angeles and who left yester-
day for Fort Simcoe after having
made some purchases for his enter
prise. Born on the Apache reserva-
ton in Arizona, he was taken from
there to England where, under the
most effete surroundings he was edu-
Gated. Since coming to manhood he
has Travelled considerably and conse-
quently has already had more exper-
fences than usually falls within the
lifetime Of most men.
Among the recent diversions of
Apache was Sherlock Holmes ex-
plot in which he sought to find the
tabled mine of Walter Scott, the
southern California cowboy and al
legged millionaire. In the enterprise
Apache acted as the agent of Girard,
who was Scottys New York financial
banker.
1t seems that some $4,000 or more
had been advanced Scott by Girard
on the strength of representations re-
garding a mine which were made by
the former. Also, after securing the
above amount more money was asked
for by Scott for the purpose OF "de-
veloping" the mine. Apparently the
suspicious of Girard were aroused,
and he undertook 10 learn the truth
about the mine.
In his work Apache was emnIoy-
ed and with small party of Indians
he thoroughly searched the vicinity in
which the mine was supposed to be
located. In his work he had a diff
cult task, as he could learn almost
nothing from Scott, and the people of
the little town near which the mine
was said to be located were evidently
all friendly to the cowboy and refused
to disclose anything they knew on the
subject. However, sufficient was
learned by Apache from close search
to show that the mine was myth
According to Apache, Scott has
been a hot air character almost en-
tirely. He has had little money ex-
cept what was advanced him by Cir
ard, and he has not spent anything
like the sum that has been credited
to him. He is inordinately vain, and
it has been his love Of notoriety that
has prompted his unusual career.
Now that his mine story has been ex-
ploded he has lost caste, and is no
longer taken seriously by the people
of California.

Already several Pendleton men have

bought by Mr.. Roberts

TEN PER CENT INCREASE IN POSTOFF|CE
BUSINESS.

That Pendleton has enjoyed good
bushes prosperity during the past
year is shown by the records of the
postoffice, for the business OF the past
year has been 10 per cent greater than
that of 1904. The total receipts of
the office for the past year were $1s,-
762.3S. whereas but s15.317.58 was
taken in during 1904.
In the postal department the busi-
ness year is reckoned from March l
to March l, and 1t is now practically
certain that the salary Of Postmaster
Livermore will be increased 800 per
year as a result OF the increase In
business. Under the regulations this
increase is made when the business Of
a escond-class office passes the $16,-
900 mark. No other raise is then
made until the business amounts to
more than $4,000 per year. when an
other 500 is made. The salary Of

per year.
The bushes of the Pendleton office
for the past December has broken all
previous records, the total receipts
being $1700.25, which IL about 5000

or parcels were handled. while last
year there were but 1870. This in

COINCIDENCE, OR AsTRoLoGY?
Gelscr Grand Clerk Puts a Tenderfoot
Next

A strange coincidence occurred a
day or two since in Baker City and
Baker county. Night Clerk John
Stack, of the Geiser Grand hotel, who
for years has studied astrology, was
asked the other day by Geo. e. Wells
of Philadelphia, visitor here, where
he could go to make strike after
having first himself selected mining
as his bent. Stack described a spot
in the old Auburn camp near by
big stump and Wells went out there
with man or two, and after doing
some digging, opened a ledge of free
milling gold ore not four feet under
the ground, samples of which taken
across the face of the vein, assayed
on the average $11 a ton. Talk about
your luck.-Baker City Democrat

Fremont Land Gases.

matter Of the lease of the state land
in that county was disposed of In a
manner satisfactory to all. The men
who had taken the leases transferred

Nearly all OF the land has been
owned by private parties or COM
panies, in some instances immense
tracts being held. The X T COM
pany has held title to 5000, 900 acres
which was given it by the state for
the erection OF the capitol building.
All of this land Is fenced with a six
wire fence with hard wood posts.
Also substantial windmills have been
placed all over the land. However,
these improvements are expensive,
and as the fences are often not on
lines, practical farmers prefer to Sc
cure other and less expensive land
Land in the new district can be
purchased at prices varying from
$3.50 to SO per acre. Practically
none of the land has so far been cul-
tivated, but the conditions are such
that / see no reason why II should not
make good wheat land, and am salts
fled the entire section will soon be
taken. However, much of the land Is
being secured in large tracts by spec
ulators who will doubtless try to sell
at something like double the price
they paid"
Besides Messrs. Montgomery and
Roberts, Nat Morrison OF this city, has
also secured several sections of the
Texas land; while a group of The
Dalles people have secured 81 sec

a rush to Texas similar to the one to
Alberta remains to be seen, but should
the land prove to be good for wheat
