STOCKMEN DIVIDE RESERVE
Eastern Oregon Sheep and Cattle
Owners Agree.
HAVE SETTLED THEIR CONTROVERSY
TWO TRACTS OF 20 SECTIONS
EACH SET ASIDE FOR THE
USE OF STOCK.

After being deadlocked for nearly "a
hours an agreement was reached Sat-
urdav afternoon between cattlemen
and sheepmen desiring range IN the
Blue Mountain reserve By the terms
of agreement two different tracts are
set aside for exclusive use of cattle in
terests. These areas contain about 20
sections each. One is near Starkey,
while the other is in the vicinity of
Camas Prairie. The remainder OF the
reserve is open for all classes of stock
but is virtually given to the sheepmen
as the only others using it will be
small farmers having homes in or near
the reserve and running little stock.
The joint committee which passed
upon the partition of the range ana
the validity of the applications made
for use of the reserve is composed
of 1S men, equally divided between
sheepmen, and cattlemen.
When the cattlemen announced
their committeeman vigorously protest
was made by the sheepn1en to several
of those named and sharp words were
exchanged. The matter was finally
adjusted satisfactorily by Superintend-
end Shelter.
After selection of the committee su-
nerintendent Shelter instructed them
to confer and partition the reserve,
giving certain localities for sheep and
others for cattle Also the committee
was empowered to pass on applications
made by stockmen.
At the outset the cattlemen asked
much more range than the sheepmen
would cansent to give. 1t seemed Tor
time that no agreement would De
reached and the entire reserve would
be made free for all. Rather imam
have this condition prevail the cattle

BREAD SUPERSTi1lONS,
Peculiar Ones Still Prevail In Rural
France.

peculiar Ones Still Prevail In Rural
France.
There are some curious superstitiona
ligious seasons which seem so easy t.
prove fallacious that one has difficulty
in understanding why they are still be-
ueved. One would think that some
day a mistake would occur and the
discovery be made that there was nc
force in them. Probably, owing to the
constitution Of the believers, the fail
ure of the expected result would be
ascribed to some supernatural cause
rather than the real one, and the BE-
lief would be continued. Most of these
superstitions are found in France, the
greatest bread eating country on the
globe.
For instance, in upper Brittany
bread baked on Good Friday, it is de
clared, becomes black. In Charante it
Is held that he who eats of bread
baked on All Souls day will become
diseased The flames will burst out OF
the oven in ones face if bread is
baked on the feast Of st. Nicholas, say
the good people at Aube. so it is not
done. In Burgundy the people believe
that if bread is baked in the course of
Rogation week all bread baked during
the remainder of the year will turn
mOldy. The inhabitants of the Black
mountains believe the same thing. The
Sicilians refuse to bake on Good Fri
day, because they fear that in some
manner they will burn the Saviour
The beliefs which other Europeans
used to have in early times demon
strate how illogical is all this supersti-
tion These used to think that bread
baked on Good Friday would not grow
moldy, and the hot cross bun. was in
Guided in this belief. Some one has
shrewdly suggested that the spice pre-
served them. A piece of bread baked
on this holy day. perhaps because of
its holy character, was supposed to
have miraculous powers if preserved.
The house containing it would not

this Is that in one country bread baked

bread baked on any Other.-New York

Filling a Full Bottle.

At a race course the other day a
sharper wagered f5 he could put more
water into q black bottle than any per-
son present. An individual present at
once flied the bottle with water and
passed 1t to the sharper, saying:
There; I think she's as full as she
can get. If you can crowd any more
water into her, mister. go ahead"
Without saying a word the sharper
corked the bottle tightly. Then he
turned it upside down, and in the
large hollow which is found at the bot
tom Of most bottles he poured about a
gill Of water. 'I'll trouble you to hand
over the money" he said to the stake
holder when he had done the trick.

Jumps Price Of Keeping County
Poor From $s300to $4,000.
COMMISSIONERS DECLINE TO PAY IT
BOARD MAY DECIDE TO KEEP
COUNTY CHARGES At OLD
COUNTY POOR FARM.

Radical changes in the caring for
the county poor may soon be put into
effect by the county commissioners as
a result of L. L. Hunt, present keeper
of the county poor, jumping the price
from $4,000 to $4,000. Bids for caring
for the county poor were opened by the
commissioners this morning and it
was found that Mr.. Hunt was the only
bidder and that he had concluded it
was worth more money than he got
out of the county last year and raised
the price $500 over last year.
Mr.. Hunt proposed for the new
price to take care of every case COM
ing under the head of county poor. At
present in some cases the county di-
vides the cost of maintenance with
the keeper of county poor. The COM
missioners declined to make a con-
tract at the new figure and set about
to consider some plan for caring for
the poor by some other means than
by letting a contract. One plan was
suggested and may be acted on to
equip the old county poor farm, hire
superintendent and care for all the
county poor there. At present Mr..
Hunt has eight county charges on hand
for which he receives $4,000 a year for
keeping them. BY erecting a new res
idence on the poor farm and hiring
a superintendent the commissioners be-
lieve a saving of from $500 to $4,000
can be effected. The S0-acre farm the
commissioners argue can be made to
produce a substantial revenue each
year and that in the course of a Few
years would sustain all the county
poor. The board will seriously con-
slider the question before letting an
other contract.

The pain caused Guillford to keep
moving around in his bed and the
broken bones shifted so they had to
be reset. AS Guillford is practically
without means he is being kept at the
hospital at the expense Of the county.

Charivari Came Too Soon-A prom
inent Dixie man in Walla Walla today
tells good story on a young man en-
ployed at the state penitentiary, who
with his best girl, visited Dixie last
Sunday for the purpose Of visiting his
(the young man's) mother. The young
couple put up at the Dixie hotel and
in a short time it became noised about
that they had just been married. A
charivari party was soon organized
and swooped down on the young
couple at the hotel. The young man
protested that he had not been married
and the supposed bride fled to the safe
ty of a bed room and locked the door.
The joke was so good that the young
man treated the whole crowd to ice
cream, the strongest thing it is possible
to get in Dixie, it seems.

again last night on the same old
charge. Gus was drunk and wanted
to whip everybody in sight. The police
were called to Swanson's cigar store in
East Main street late last night and
found him ranting around like wild
man., The neighbors said they were
afraid of him and as he did appear
rather wild the police locked him up
for the night Swanson lately re-
turned from Lewiston where he was
held several days on an insanity
charge, but it was soon discovered
that his chief trouble was too much
booze and he was released.
