Because 1t has found that steel
bridges may be constructed as cheaplv
as wooden ones the county court has
decided to change its plans for the
repair of the bridges across the river
at this place and at Echo, and to erect
bridges made of steel instead.
At the court house yestesday after
noon the bids for the repair of the
bridge above town and the one at
Echo were opened. Also, several bids
upon steel structures were presented.
though the same had not been asked
for in the advertisement After OPEN
ing the bids the matter was taken un
der advisement by the commissioners
AT the session of court held this
morning 1t was decided to reject all
bids for the repair of the present
bridges and to ask for bids upon steel
bridges to replace them. Two weeks
time is given for the presentation of
the bids.
Regarding the change in the plan.
County Judge Gilliland said this
morning that the commissioners had
not known before that steel bridges
could be erected at the prices offered
Yesterday. He says that the bridge
above town may be replaced for about
s2bO0. Also, the one at Echo may be
replaced for about the same price
This being the case, he believes Il
economy for the county to install steel
bridges now rather than repair the
old wooden structures.
The bids which were offered yes-
terday upon steel bridges could not be
accepted by the court for the reason
that they were not called for in the
advertisement. Consequently, in order
TO make the action legal an advertise
ment calling for steel bridge bids will
be published for two weeks. The COM
hope that when all the bids
are presented it will be found that
the steel bridges may be secured for
less than the amount mentioned
above, 1t is proposed to have the
new bridges in the same places and
Of the same sizes as the present
bridges.
At the conclusion of the session this
morning the county court adjourned
until July 3. which is the first day
Of the regular July session.

impossible for the Umatilla county
growers to forward their money and
secure the regulation permits from the
superintendent before proceeding to
The mountains. When the request
was laid before Superintendent Shelter
he agreed to take the matter up with
the department and the notice given
this morning is the result of the de-
partment's action.
Under the instructions of the de-
partment Superintendent Shelter is
allowed to permit sheepmen to use
the reserve without permits provided
he has good evidence that they have
sent the reserve charges to Washing
ton. Accordingly the sheepmen are
asked to have affidavits from their
banks to the effect that they have for
warded the range charges.

CONDITIONAL PERMITS GIVEN sHEEPMEN

Sheepmen who have been allowed
range privileges in the Blue Mountains
forest reserve may proceed to take
their stock upon the same without
first having permits from Superinten-
dent Shelter. However, the camp
tenders or others with the bands
should be in possession of evidence
showing that the reserve charges
have been sent to Washington.
Information to the above effect
was 'phoned Dan p. Smythe this
morning by Supt. d. b. Shelter, who
is at Sumpter today. II is a con-
cession that was asked for by the
sheepmen, through Secretary Smythe
while Mr.. Shelter was here a week or
more ago. The request was made be-

JUDGE ELLIS ROUTED "HIM."
Supposed Burglar Had No Choice But
to Surrender.

to Surrender.
Last night the peace and quietude
of Lewis street was disturbed by an
alarm that a burglar was robbing the
residence of DR.. +. r. Swinburne and
with true neighborly spirit the occu-
pants of the adjoining homes respond
ed to the call. However, their ef-
forts proved to be unnecessary. for
the entire crowd, including the Swim
burne family, had been caught in a
practical joke.
The intruder was discovered late In
the evening by Miss Faye Bartholo-
NEW and Miss Nora Matlock. At that
time the supposed burglar was hiding
under bed and he was detected
through the fact that his feet extended
from under the bed. On finding the
man" an alarm was at once given
by the young ladies, and the neigh
bors were summoned.
Among those who responded were
Judge Ellis, who lives across the
street and Ernest Temple, who resides
on the opposite corner. BY all who
saw the affair the congressman ELECT
is credited with being the bright,
particular star" Though he had re-
tired, Judge Ellis quickly arose when
the alarm was given and within few
minutes dashed across the street at,
tired only in the most essential arti-
cles of clothing. According to the by
standers, the Judge held up his trous-
ers with his left hand, while he kept
his right arm ready for action.
After the posse had surrounded the
house so as to prevent any possible
escape, it was decided to take" the
robher by storm Accordingly the
searchers ascended the stairway pre-
pared to use any method of capture
that might be necessary. On entering
the room where the burglar" had
been seen he was discovered to be still
in the same position. Advancing to-
wards him. Judge Ellis give the fell
| low a kick which revealed the fact
that he was dummy, and that the
crowd had been buncoed.
1t is said that the joke was per-
petrated by DR.. Ralph Swinhurne, but
that he did not anticipate the conse.
quences would be as widespread as
! they were.
