A Gray Head by the Hearth.

letter from a lady who is spend
ing the year among the peasants of
Tyrol, says: "The morning after our
arrival we were awakened by the
sound of a violin and flutes under the
window, and hurryng down found the
little house adorned as for a feast
garlands over the door and wreathing
in high chair which was set in state.
The table was already covered with gift
brought by the young people whose
music we had heard. The whole neigh
borhood were kinsfolk, and these gifts
came from uncles and cousins in every
far-off degree. They were very simple,
for the donors are poor - knitted
gloves, shawl, basket, of flowers,
jars of fruit loaves of bread; but upon
all some little message of love was
pinned.

That G. A. Hartman will be the next
county judge is now assured. for this
morning he received from Governor
Chamberlain his appointment to the
office to succeed Judge Bean, whose
resignation takes effect June 2. AS
the newly elected officers do not take
office until July 1, Judge Hartman
will have a month in which to serve
before the beginning of the new term.
Immediately after Judge Bean ten
dered his resignation as county judge
Governor Chamberlain offered the ap-
pointment to Judge Hartman. How
ever, he had not then decided to run
for county judge and so declined the
offer. However, when the governor
was at Echo recently he again offered
the appointment, and he was informed
by Judge Hartman that the same
would be accepted.
Since the appointment was received
question has been raised as to how
long after election an appointee can
serve. Judge Bean holds that the
county judge-elect may qualify at once
II he desires.

RECLAIMING SANDY SOIL.
Alfalfa Three Feet High Growing on
Arid land at Umatilla.

n. c. Brownell, the pioneer irrigator
of Umatilla, came up last evening on
business trip and reports everything
flourishing in Umatilla- The town is
reviving considerable since the rec
lamation OF arid land has been start
ed in that vicinity and many home
seekers are looking over that local
ity every day.
Mr.. Brownell has field of alfalfa
now about three feet in height. the
first crop of the second season. Last
year at this time this seed was just
sprouting and today the entire field
is covered with fine stand of alfalfa,
of fine grade and we'll set in the
ground.
The soil is very sandy and it was
with much care and labor that the
washing of the land was prevented in
irrigating the new crop last season,
while now irrigating is done without
trouble. The alfalfa roots hold the
sandy soil and it is not possible for
soil to be too sandy for this crop il
plenty of water can be used. He is
enthusiastic over the prospects ahead
of that section of the county.

MUCH CASH HAS COME WEST.
California Has Taken More Than $50,
100000.

New York, May 5.-Probably more
than s30,00O,000 have been sent to
California, either by direct shipment
or by transfer through the sub-treas-
uries since the earthquake shock and
the succeeding fires that wrecked San
Francisco. Most of the money went
from New York, but there were ship
ments also from Chicago and st.
Louis. About million dollars were
sent by Kansas City banks.
This great transfer of cash re-
sources from reserve centers east of
the Rocky mountains has had con-
siderable effect on the money mar
kets. Rankers expect that firm rates
of interest will be maintained, not
only on account Of these demands, on
their cash reserves, but also because
that has been engendered by the CAL
ifornia losses.
The demand from California for
cash arose in part from the urgent
need of money for immediate use, and
and partly also on account of the
nervous feeling growing out of the
disaster, which impelled all the Pa
cific coast banks to strengthen their
| cash resources so as to be able to
meet any emergency which might
arise.
California is likely to have a super
abundance of currency. The banks
of San Francisco possess many mil
! lions. chiefly gold, which will be
available as soon as the vaults in the
burned district can be opened. In ad-
! dition to what the banks already have
and the ssO,OOO,OOO or more that
have been sent there, the insurance
companies payments of fire losses will
still further swell the supply. Prob
ably not less than s100,0O0,000 will
be paid by the insurance companies.

GEARIN MAY BE DETAINED.
Official Duties Threaten to Keep Him
in Washington.

Since there is doubt as to whether
or not Senator Gearin can deliver the
Decoration Day address in Pendleton,
vited to do so. Then in the event both
men find it possible to come the pro-
gram will be the gamer thereby.
This morning the following reply
was received by wire from Senator
Gearin:
Washington, d. c., May 5.
Leon Cohen,
Pendleton.
Senate began discussion of rate bill
by sections yesterday. Cannot tell
when final vote will be taken. Must
not leave for any purpose until bill
passes. Impossible for me to make
any engagements ahead until pending
legislation disposed of. Am writing
you fully as to conditions here.
JOHN NJ. GEARIN.
In view of Senator Gearin's deter
mination to remain at his post until
the rate bill passes and other legisla-
ton disposed of, the committee has
little hope of securing him for the
Decoration Day program. However
should 1t develop later that he may
come, he will be warmly welcomed.
From appearances Senator Gearin
is making no plans for n tour of the
state between now and June 4, when
he will be voted on for United States
senator. None of the local democratic
leaders who are acquainted with tie
senator have been advised of his
plans, and while here recently Gov
ernor Chamberlain said he did not
know Mr.. Gearins intentions.

San Francisco, May 5.-The number
of cases of typhoid at the Preside
hospital was increased today to 20.
There were eight yesterday.
It Is stated on good authority today
that the governor will continue to
proclaim legal holiday until June
/. 1t is planned to have the legisla-
ture meet that date to pass such
measures as are required by the situ-
alton, and it is likely steps will also
be taken to prevent the statute Of
limitations operating.
Burned $50 Blocks. ~
The area of the burned district Is
$50 clocks by careful count.
Captain F. B. Webster, of the goth
infantry, attempted suicide this morn
ing by stasbing himself in the throat
with a bayonet. He is in a dangerous
condition at the Preside hospital.
Cause unknown.
Steps will be taken to begin at once
the work of removing the debris Of
the ruined buildings on large scale.
c. E. Loss, a railway conductor, has
devised a plan by which he expects
to remove 100000 cubic yards of
brick, stone and steel wreckage in
eight or 10 months. Two hundred
bunkers will be erected at central
points among the ruins, and by a
cable tram system the debris will be
carried to bunkers, from which it will
be dumped upon cars on spur tracks.
Problems Of Rebuilding.
Several big steel men are here in
a special car studying the situation.
They give the assurance that San
Francisco will be given the preference,
and shall have all the structural steel
needed for rebuilding as soon as req
quired. s'sas
The railways and steamship lines
promise the rapid handling of all ma
terials.
The health department has issued
warning to boil all water, as the
supply is being contaminated from
broken sewers after it reaches the
city.
The executive committee of the
clearing house has issued a state-
ment to the effect the business inter-
ests of the city do not need charity
in rebuilding of the city, and that
with the s150,000,o00 to be received
from the insurance companies, with
the banks solvent, and a promise of
good crops in the state, no official aid
shall be looked for except on stlictly
business principles. The various COM
rhittees are opposed to the introduce
ton of untried methods of finance,
which later may prove illegal or inn
practical

to admit to the reserve all stock that
was ranged there last year, together
with the increase. Cattle and horses
are allowed between June 1 and Octo-
ber !, the rate being 20 cents per head
for less than 70 head. For men hav-
ing over 10 head the price is 80
cents per head for the season. Sheep
are admitted to the reserve between
June is and october 15 for the price
of cents per head. Two lambs
count as one sheep.
According to Mr.. Shelter his in
structions are to admit all stock
ranged in the reserve last season, and
ranches and stock SINCE then secure
the range privileges of the former
owner. However, the purchaser must
buy the land of the stockman as well
as his stock, to become entitled to
receive range. A purchaser of sheep
or cattle only does not acquire the
former owners range rights.
After completing his remarks, Su-
perintendent Shelter threw the meet.
ing open and invited all to take part
freely. Thereupon Douglas Belts
arose and moved that a committee OF
eight cattlemen and eight sheepmer
be appointed to pass upon the ad-

whom the weapon was stolen on the
night of April IA. The gun was
brought home this morning by Sheriff
Taylor, who was in Salem yesterday
placing Diamond and Crull, the horse
thieves, in the penitentiary. 1t was
given him by Sheriff Culver of Marion
county, into whose possession the gun
fell when Smith was killed.
Instead of an automatic revolver.
the pistol is Al Colts, and has a side
action. 1t is a big gun, and that it is
capable of deadly work is shown by
the three men who were killed by
Smith before his capture.
