THE BIG ROUNDUP IS ABOUT OVER
Thousands Of Wild Range Horses
Gathered at Ephrata Being
Shipped East.

EPHARTA, Wash, May 18.-Except
for counting the horses and loading
them into the cars, the big roundup
which has been in progress in Doug
las county for the past three or four
weeks is practically over. A month of
hard riding has taken much Of the ro-
nance and glamour from the event and
while there is still a keen interest
manifested, the "buckaroos" have to a
great extent, dropped back into the or
binary range riding life and are not
making the town as lively as they did
during the earlier days Of the roundup.
Two thousand horses secured in The
roundup have been herded in three or
four punches for the past few days
within a few miles of Ephrata.
Sunday 1000 head of horses were
brought in from the herd ground and
counted They were crowded into the
comparatively small corrals of the rail-
road company. SO tightly were they
packed that it was almost impossible
to distinguish the Individual animals.
Monday a thousand horses were
loaded onto the cars to be shipped to
Dickinson, N D. Mccarthy & Town

owns 900 Of the 1000 shipped Monday,
and the other 400 are Asv,ue- up z:nons

together will make we trainlOads.
They will be turned l>2>e on the North
Dakota ranges and Sc>d out in small
lots to eastern buyers.

Example for WalIa WaIIa,

R1TZVILLE, Wash, May 1S.-The
city's work of putting in it's $4,000
worth of new water mains is going on
at a good rate under the superinten-
dence of City Engineer A ]. Coss. The
council decided some time ago to adj
vertise for bids to have this work done
by contract. Various bids were Of
fered, but the council determined to
reject all and proceed to do the work
itself. The bids ranged from 80 to Is
cents per foot for the ditch, according
to the amount of rock in the way. En-
gineer Coss says. that the maximum
cost to the town for the ditch in rock,
which would have been IS cents per
foot by contract, will be less than 80
cents per foot Thus by doing it's own
work, the town will save at least As
cents per linear foot on this big extern
sion to the city water system.

Acquitted Of Grave Robbinq.

NORTH YAKIMA, May 1S.-The
case against the five young men
charged with opening an Indian grave
on the reservation and stealing an In
dian head, was brought to close yes
terday by the jury acquitting the de-
PENDANTS. So many Indians claimed
the head that the jury was not able
to determine whether the men accused
were guilty or not Old Saluskin
wanted to settle the case by the de-
PENDANTS paying him a large sum of
money, but after finding out that he
had made mistake and that the head
in evidence was not that of his son,
he was willing to settle the case for
anything the men were willing to hand
over. This materially weakened the
states case and was largely response
BILE for the verdict of the jury.

Paint Factory for Baker City.

BAKER CITY, May 1S.-Arrange-
ments were completed last night in
the office of A. B. Smith which assure
for Baker City a new manufacturing
enterprise, the works to be located, on
the O. r. & N tracks near the depot.
All of the stock has been subscribed
and the incorporation will be filed in

facture earth paint from mineral
chrome found in various locations
within a radius of six miles of Baker
City and the promoters of the enter
prise have contracted for the daily de-
livery of five tons of the ore, which
will make 1900 gallons of paint. The
plant will employ, at the start 10 to
20 men.

Carpenters Get 8-Hour Day.

THE DALLES, May 18.-A settle
ment was reached last night between
contractors and the union carpenters,
who struck yesterday for the S-hour
day at the same wages, from 1915 to
$3.50 a day.
The demand of the union men was
met with the proviso that no jour-
neyman be allowed to take contracts
for work, and that when members of
the union accepted jobs they charge
the same scale as prevails with the
contractors.
Another concession was made by
the union, which agreed to finish
the work already contracted for un-
der the arrangement which prevailed
when the contracts were made.

Perfumes That Show Character.

WOmen's characteristics and weak
nesses are betrayed by their perfumes.
There are few who do not use scent
Of some kind in their toilets. Some of
them throw a few drops in the bath;
others place sachets plentifully about
their rooms. and a modern notion is to
place sachet pads between the mattress
and the sheets.
A violent-scented atmosphere betok-
ems a woman of lOvable nature. Such
a woman is always fond Of violets.
The dainty, neat woman has pref
erence for heliotrope She dislikes fuss
or notoriety.
Imaginative, warm-hearted women
use rare perfume. They are apt to be
extravagant.
Lavender will probably be found in
the home of the woman of high aims,
who loves exactitude.
Strong perfumes are used by the am
bitious and strong willed. The woman
who delights in musk and kindred per-
fumes will probably be mean spirited.

PLAN TO IRR|GATE AsoT|n FLAT.
Project Being Promoted by Seattle
Capitalists Who Have Large
Backing.

LEWISTON, May 1S.-It was learned
yesterday that movement was on foot
to place under irrigation the whole OF
Asotin fiat The project is being pro-
NOTED by Seattle capitalists and the
success of the enterprise seems prac-
tically assured.
W. L. Lowe and J. Stevens, repre-
sentatives of the Seattle parties, have
been here for the past two weeks look
ing over the field and investigating
the feasibility of the scheme. The re-
suits of their Investigations have
proven highly satisfactory and show
the plan to be a very practical one, the
lay of the country being such that few
or no obstacles will be encountered in
constructing the ditch. While the pro-
ject at the outset may be financed and
controlled by private individuals, the
object is to ultimately make it gov
eminent enterprise.

cONSUMPrION'S WARNING

The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
There is no disease known that gives SC
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
1t is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C
conpanied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated youi
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

anxious to have these improvements in
LaGrande completed at the earliest
moment possible as the facilities now
are far behind the demands of the

RADlUM RULED BY WOMAN.
Widow Of Prof. Curie Will BE APP


PARIS. May 1S.-Instead of pension
ing Nine. Curtis, widow Of the discov-
erer of radium, who was killed In an
accident a few weeks ago, the cabinet
has decided to appoint her to the chair
of natural sciences, which was spe-
cially created for her husband This
innovation makes the conservative pop
ulation in the Sorbonne neighborhood
gasp with establishment Minister
BRAND. who is a socialist, is unable to
see that the question of sex makes any
difference. He said today:
edged that he would not have accom-
plished half OF what he die without the
collaboration of his wife. The world
stands a better chance of developing
the uses of radium with this woman
carrying on the dead man't work than
would be the case if l appointed one OF
Professor Curies disciples. l do not
expect any difficulty in the matter"
When the correspondent asked Nine.
Curie whether she would accept the
position, she replied. II cannot really
believe that the chair will be offered to
me, and it would not be in good taste
to discuss the matter thus prematurely.
But in some form or other, l intend to
devote the rest of my life to extend
ing our knowledge of radium."
The scientific students at the SOr-
bonnie seemed to be unwilling to ex-
press their opinion Of the prospective
appointment.

Exporters Well Supplied But Con-
siderable Local Business.
DECREASE IN WINTER WHEAT ACRElGE
FINE RAIN OF THIS WEEK CAME
MOST TIMELY FOR GROW.
ING CROPS.

While there is very little doing.
broadly speaking, there is considerable
business passing of a local character.
and under the influence of light Of
ferings and a fair call from the mills,
the situation holds firm, says the West
Coast Trade this week. Exporters are
fairly well provided for to complete
the vessels under engagement. and
could hot well operate at present prices.
hence they are practically out of the
market. The season has about ended
on the Columbia river. where there are
no more vessels charted, with no
clearances the present month. while
Puget Sound shipments are rapidly
narrowing down and it is probable that
the ships already taken will complete
the list for this crop year.
Winter Wheat Acreage Shy.
In the general Situation there are
no startling developments. The gov
ernment's crop report issued during
the week, showing the area in winter
wheat to be 29,623,OOO acres, de-
crease of 1,71S,OOO acres from the total
represented last fall, and about 94O,-
900 acres less than at the same date
a year ago, had a temporary influence
in strengthening speculative markets,
but this effect was later neutralized
by a more representative view of the
situation from the standpoint of the
general excellence Of the crop, and
fairly favorable weather The position
of the market for the next month or
two will have little bearing on the
final prices at which wheat will be
sold after harvest, because of the fact
that weather conditions from day to
day will govern the situation very
largely.

Rains Most Timely.

In the Pacific Northwest the fine
rain which has fallen during the week
was most timely The crop was COM
mencing to feel the effects of the long
continued dry weather to a consider
able extent, and had it been prolonged
for another week, the harvest would
have been seriously curtailed. AS it
is. the outlook is once more favorable
for an excellent yield, the moisture
promising to be sufficient to carry VIM
ter wheat through to maturity.
