For months past the stockmen of
Grant county have been losing their
stock through the depredations of
thieves, says the Baker City Demo-
crat. No large bands have been
taken at any one time, but 1t has been
a continued drain on the ranchers,
until their losses began to assume gil
gantic proportions. A few weeks ago
Mr.. McHaley missed a band Of 20
head of horses and quietly employed
a couple of detectives to trace up the
thieves. The detectives got hold, of
a clew and followed a band of horses
that was being driven east through
Idaho, as far as Pocatello.
Upon the arrival of the outfit at
Pocatello they identified 10 of the
horses as belonging to McHaley and
arrested Williams, the man who had
them in charge. The horses and the
prisoner Williams were loaded on the
train and brought back to Baker and
yesterday the outfit started for Grant
county.
The recovery of the stock and cap
ture of the thieves will cost Mr.. Nc
Haley close to $7O0-much more THAI
the stock is worth. The Livestock
Association of Eastern Oregon has
employed detectives to ferret out the
stock thieves and bring them to book
regardless Of cost, and more arrests
are expected soon to follow.

The Ships Log.

The record of a ships voyage is
called its log because the observations
Of its speed, usually taken hourly, by
the log line are a very important factor
in the record. The log line is so called
because the float attached to the line
was originally a small log or stick of
wood. This log Is now a square or
triangular piece of board weighted so
that it sits upright in the water. The
log line is divided by knots or marks
into lengths of fifty-one feet, which is
about one one-hundred-and-twentieth
Of a marine mile, so that the ship Is
going as many marine miles or knots
In an hour as the number Of knots or
lengths that run off the reel in half a
minute when the ''log' is thrown over
| board.

MITCHELL'S ESTATE.
Oregon's Pioneer Senator Died q
Poor Man.

The creditors of the estate of SEN
ator John H. Mitchell may have to
content themselves with a payment
of so cents on the dollar, or even less
II the figures given by David NJ
Dunno, in a report to the Multnomah
county clerk are correct.
Administrator Dunno reports claim:
against the estate amounting to s12,'
500, while the total value of the prop
erty of the estate is but S6323. The
report shows that there are preferred
claims amounting to s2669, among
them a claim of the United State!
amounting to $1,000. This is for tht
fine that was imposed upon Senate,
Mitchell a year ago, and the govern
ment will demand interest on th'
amount from the time it became pay
able
When the preferred claims ar
paid the assets will have been reduced
TO 1864, and the claims to be salts
fled to S9S31. This will allow tn
holders of claims not preferred abou
81 cents on the dollar.

English RAILWAY signa1s.

An observant traveller on English
railways could tell you at once the
railway upon which he is travelling by
merely looking at the first signal he
passes. 1t may surprise many to know
that there are hardly two styles quite
alike In this country in station archi-
lecture and fittings, color of rolling
stock, design and color of the locomo-
tiyes, uniforms of the servants, style
of the signal cabins and signal appli-
ances and many other details.-London

The finest rubies are still kept in
Asia. The Great Mogul had 10S large
rubies In his throne, and among them
was one weighing two and one-half
ounces. OF European rubies Charles
the Bold. that luckless son Of a for
tunate father, had three rubies called
the Three Brothers, of perfect color
and worthy size. They passed into the
possession of James l., who sent them
to Baby Charles" There is a large
heart shaped balas ruby In the Eng
lish crown. It has been neither cut
nor polished, Is only semitransparent
and Is of a dark red. like q morello
cherry. Austria had, or has, an orien-
tai ruby the size Of hens egg, and
Queen Elizabeth showed Sir James
Melville one as big as racket ball.
Runjeet Singh had a large ruby with
the names of many kings engraved on
It Among them was that Of Aurang-
zeb. A king Of Persia had one which
he priced at the value Of city or even
kingdom. 1t was a table cut balas
ruby of beautiful color Of at least a
fingers breadth.

Adder Stones.

The singular superstition Of the value
Of adder stones for curing a variety Of
ills has continued in many countries
from the time Of the Romans. These
celebrated charms are nothing more
than antique green or blue glass striped
in various designs and perforated. The
virtues of these stones are sung in the
poems of the ancient Druids and are
mentioned by Pllny and other classical
writers.
