VIII Collect ftne.

Out of the scanty estate OF tho late
Senator John H. Mitchell the United
states government will collect the sum
of $1,000, the amount OF the fine which
formed q part Of his sentence. By
direction of the solicitor of the natiopa
treasury, fo,meal notice has been served
upon Colonel Davis M. Dunno, admins
traitor of the estate, that the money
must be paid.
Senator Mitchell's estate has been
appraised at about $500, while the
claims against it aggregate $4,000.
The governments claim is by law given
preference over sll other debts save
funeral expenses. and expenses of ad-
ministration, and will, therefore, be
paid in full. Out of the residue OF the
state the remaining creditors must be
satisfied, and it is estimated that they
will be fortunate to preceive 25 per cent
of their claims. Several of the credi'
tors, when informed of the govern
ment's purpose to enforce payment o.
Senator Mitchell's fine, expressed strong
dissatisfaction, and an effort may bf
made to contest the allowance of the
governments claim in the county court

Cello to Snake l24.1 Miles.

Last Saturday the Mountain Gem
took an outbt consisting of couple OF
scows, on which had been built houses
as Quarters for the men. to Umatilla.
The outfit belongs to a surveying party
which has been making surveys all
along the upper river, and has gone to
the rapids to secure additional data and
expects to be through with the work by
the latter part ofthe month.
This surveying party has obtained
valuable infor nation, among other
things determining that the distance
from the mouth of the Snake river to
Cello rapids, ten miles above The
Dailes is l24 l miles. This is the only
government survey that has been made
of that stretch of the Columbia, but
heretofore the distance has been varl-
ously estimated at all the way from llO
20 100 miles by the water route. by
rail it is a trihe shorter than by the
river. as the railroad cuts off number
Of curves.
Other important data has been secured
by the surveying party which has just
completed taking souudings OF the upper
Columbia river. The observations will
he compiled and forwarded to Washng-
ton, together with rough estimate OF
the cost of improving the boat channel
Every rock and other obstruction along
the route that is likely to prove a men
ace to navigation has been charted,
with the exception OF those il small
area in Umatllla rapids, on which they
are now working.
On the way up Saturday, the Gem
threaded her course through the follow
ing tortuous rapids: He'll Gate, John
Day, Indian and squally Hook, Rock
Creek, Owyhee and Canoe. 1t is de
clared that the argument had always
been advanced heretofore that none oi
these rapids could be navgated during
the low water stage. 1t Is believed that
a small appropriation will suffice to put
the upper Columbia in as fine condition
the year around for light draft vessels as
any other part Of the stream.-The
Dalles Chronicle.

CT ease in beef cattle shows tne
startling gain of 1866. For the
same period the increase IN sheep
has been only 10 per cent.
The following figures which are
taken from the government reports
will not furnish much encourage
uent for the cattle growers:
In 1880 there was 42,l00 OF q
beef for each person in this coun-
try. If each beef animal would
produce 500 pounds of beef, IN
1880 there would have been 2lO
pounds of feet for each person. ln
1905 there would have been 25O
pounds of beef for each person.
"This would make forty pounds
more in the latter priod than IN
the former. If the beef cattle had
increased in the same proportion
as the population in the past
twenty. five years, there would now
be "a $50, ,O65 instead Of 4S,669, 443
If the supply of cattle in the coun'
try was sufficient in 1880, ther
there is a surplus now OF 9,3SO,37o
or more than was shipped to al
tho Western markets. including
Chicago, during the past year
This purplus would supply th'
Chicago market for three years.
"The increase in sheep in tn
past twenty-five years was 10 Pc
cent. If the increase had bee'
proportionate to the increase II
population there would now be ~,
241, ,451 head, and as there are onl..
45,17O,432, we will have to increas
the present number over twenty
five millions, to have the sam
ratio to population that we ha'
in 1880.

In the state of Idaho over 4,0OO,-
900 sheep were dipped last spring
and more than half that many in
the fall under the direction OF
George S. Hickox, agent in charge
of quarantine work for the Bureau
of Animal Industry at Washing
ton. Mr.. Hickox said: "Ihe
cleaning up of the sheep in Idaho
was the biggest job I ever tackled.
It was done at the request OF the
state officials. A state law had
been passed providing for the in
spection and dipping just before
we were called upon. | took II
inspectors and the state furnished
a like number. We had no
trouble, except in Washington
county, where the sheep men got
out an injunction against us. The
case is still pending in the courts.
it was claimed by the petitioners
for the injunction that their sheep
did not require dipping and were
in perfect health. In Oregon,
Nevada and California the laws do
not require the dipping of sheep,
and our department is endevoring
to have such law passed in those
states. Scabies is the disease that
afflicts sheep. There is some foot
rot, but not enough to cause any
alarm. We started on the Idaho
sheep in April and the number
dipped was 4,Ol7.245, and of this
number 631, ,907 were dipped twice.
Scabies were reported to have
broken out in 319 bands in the
spring, and only "a bands in the
fall. In the fall we dipped 2,323,-
SSS, and between the spring and
the fall 1,4O2,437 sheep were
shipped out of the state" The
dipping cost the owners an average
of q cents for each sheep. The
great majority of sheep owners
said Mr.. Hickox, were glad to obey
the law. The dipping fluid EN-.
ployed consisted of a preparation
either of lime and sulphur OF
tobacco and sulphur, said to be ar
infallible cure for scabies.

POSITION OF THE WOOL MARAEl

The wool market is in an inter-
esting position just at the present
time. and one which is somewhat
puzzling to those who are seeking
some well.defned basis on which
future operations are to be con-
Quoted. Broadly speaking, the
tone of the market has improved
slightly sinced the opening of the
month, although not enough to es-
tablish any advance in prices-in-
deed, sales of some descriptions OF
wool have been made at concessions
from the asking prices of month
or two ago, as in the case OF quar-
ter-blood heeces and California
wools, the latter having been un-
usually draggy throughout the sea-
son; vet the members of the trade
are feeling better than they were,
and confidence in the situation has
been strengthened by the reports
of firmer markets which have been
cebled from London and Buenos
Ayres, the great mainstay of the
market being the increased demand
from English and continental con-
sumers, which bids fair to continue
in evidence at the London auctions,
which open on March l3.
But it is recognized that the
wants of these consumers will be
filled at some time, yet in view OF
the estimates from authoritative
sources that the colonial wool clip
this year will show further in
crease af about 100000 bales, with
no noteworthy falling off, as far as
as can be learned, in any of the
large producing sections, the con-
clusion is logical one that if the
existing level of prices is to be sus'
tained there must be a continued
large consumption of wool. 1t if
generally recognized that except
for the strengthening tendency
shown in foreign markets, WI
would, today, witness a lower leve
of prices on domestic wools thar
exists, in spite of our reduced sup
plies, and the Importance of th'
foreign situation as factor in de
termining the course of wool yal
ues in our market therefore is evi

SHEEP AND CATTLE PRO.
DUCTlON.

At q recent meeting OF the
Wyoming Wool Growers Associa-
ton, Dr. J. w. Wilson, president
of the association. in an address
furnishes some interesting data in
relation to the sheep and cattle
market. Government reports show
a great increase in cattle while
there has only been a small In
crease in the number OF sheep In
the country. The following hg-
ures will throw some light on the
question of high priced sheep and
low priced cattle. In the classlh-
cation cf cattle the government
places the animals under two
heads, as a rule, VIZ: Mich cows
and other cattle. Animals not IN
the list of milch cows are all placed
under the head of beef.
In the United States on January
l, 1880, there were 12,O27.OOC
milch COWS. Under the head OF
other cattle the number is placed
at 2l,231,OOO. On January l.
1905, a perlad eff ID years, milct
cows were numbered at IL ,572, ,464
Other cattle, 43,669,443 For the
same period sheep have increased
in numbers only a little less thar
100000. The increase in milct
cows is 46.l per cent while the In

AN OPEN ADDRESS

To the voters of Clatsop county: 1t
has come to my notice that Willis ).
Dunniway, candidate for State
Printer on the eve OF election when 1T
is too late for reply, is flooding the
State with circulars attempting to
show excessive cost of calendars and
other state printing, The form OF cal
endars was ordered and directed by
the legislature and not by the state
printer. The figures given by Mr., Dun
niway are grossly exaggerated and for
the most part absolutely untruthful the
report OF F. !. Dunbar, Secretary Of
State shows that the entire cost of
state printing, including paper ruling
binding and whole cost of maintenance,
was $4,000 per year, not 100000 as
claimed in Mr.. Dunniway's campaign
circulars. Let us have fair play and a
square deal based upon facts.
