Cheap Phones for Valley.

Representatives of the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany have started house to house
canvass among the farmers of this
county, offering an extremely low
rental for instruments to oe used in
connection with the central offices of
the company throughout the county,
says the Independence Enterprise.
For SIS cents a month the sub
scriber is given free switching with
all other subscribers connecting with
his central exchange. Under this
rate it would appear thar no rural
resident need be without telephone
and its attendant advantages espe-
cially as every assurance is given of
prompt and efficient service.

A Woman Nominee.

The slate was broken in the recent
Idaho republican state convention by
the nomination of woman, Miss
Belle Chamberlain, for state super
intendent of public instruction and,
assuming her to be otherwise capable
of filling the position well, her sex
should constitute no objection to her
nomination and election.
Most of the teachers of this country
are women; in many cases women are
principals and professors in seminar
les and colleges; so why should a
woman not be state. superintendent
of instruction?
This could not be In this state, for
our courts have held, in the case of
a woman elected a county school su-
perintendent, that not being a legal
voter at all elections, woman can
not, with a few minor exceptions.
hold a public office. But under the
equal suffrage constitution of Idaho
a woman as we'll as a man may be
elected to any office, and several
Idaho women have held offices.-Or-

TOWN ON BATTLE-GROUND.
Hover the Scene of Bloody Battle
of the Indian War.

In party of landseekers who came
to the Hover valley to buy fruit land
was Lieutenant w. ]. Gpttry of Pine
City, Mimi, formerly an officer in
the United States army. which chased
old Chief Joseph, the Nez Perce war
rior, over the arid plains of Washing
ton and oregon in the days of In
dian warfare, says a dispatch from
Hover.
While visiting in this beautiful ir-
rigated valley, he made trips to sew
eral points of interest where the fed
eral troops were stationed and where
they made record marches in pursuit
of the bloodthirsty redskins long ago.
Lieutenant Gottry states that it was
at Hover that the Indian were located
when the federal troops, stationed
then at Fort Wallula, across the Co.
lumbia from this side, discovered
their whereabouts and gave them
battle.
This accounts for the large number
of tomahawks and other articles Of
Indian warfare found at this point.
The former soldier is an old man now,
but is hale and hearty, and he pro-
poses spending his remaining days on
his fruit ranch at this place, where
the scenes of his soldier days bring

To Petition County Court.

The citizens of Hermiston will short
ly petition the Umatilla county court
for a license to have a bar in the
hotel at this place. 1t is understood
that it will be properly conducted,
and no gambling will be allowed at
any place in the city, and the people
seem to favor this unanimously. 1t
has been the rule of the government
to allow no place where liquor is sold
within five miles of the project. and
the citizens contend that while the
government buildings are here, and a
good town will be established, it will
not interfere with the men at work on
the ditch any more than will Echo o.
Umatilla which places have saloons.
from the fact that it will be five miles
from Hermiston TO the nearest point
where actual work will be carried on
on the bitches. \ hotel bar is request
ed until such time as the town will be
corporated.

New Feeding Regulations.

The new feeding regulations en-
route. which will be followed this year
are believed to be greatly beneficial
to both the railroads and sheepmen.
Instead of the old 2S-hour law, ship
pers have been sent circulars by the
railroad companies which, when sign
ed and returned, call for 36 hours In
the cars without rest, feeding or
water.
The shipments caU he made much
easier under/ the new rule than in
former years and will work to the ad-
vantage of both parties concerned.
The circulars, however, must be sign
ed by the shippers before the sheep
can be held in the cars for 36 con-
secutive hours, and under no consid-
GRAFTON are the railroad companies
given the privilege of keeping the an
imals in the cars longer than this
time. Practically all of the shippers
will avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty TO get the sheep to the market
as soon as possible. and the railroad
companies have already received many
of the return slips. !

Salt Lake Republican Believes New
Record VIII BE Established This

Regulations Will BE Beenficial to
Both Shcepmcn and Railroads.

Cars by the score are being ship
ped by the Oregon Short Line and
Rio Grande to shipping points in Ida
no and Wyoming, thus beginning the
sheep shipping season of the present
year. Shippers give reports of excep-
tionally large consignments to be sent
this fall, and 1t is believed that new
record will be established, says the
Salt Lake Republican.
one of the new features is the fact
that sheep from western Nevada are
being sent east this fall instead of to
San Francisco. 1t is expected that
hundreds of carloads will he shipped
from points in Nevada and eastern
acknowledgements that have al
ways been sent to the coast in years
past. The change in traffic will mean
much to the western roads, as this
trade was entirely lost i'm former years
The destruction of San Francisco
stockyards iss of course, responsible
for the alteration. Flockmasters in
the Reno and Truckee regions have
already sent orders here for cars to
be used in shipping their flocks to the
yards in the east.
