WILL BE LOSS OF STOCK
Unexpected Change in Weather Means
Death to Range Cattle.

One of the most severe snow storms
Of the year ragged in this vicinity Sun
day night and all day yesterday. The
thermometer dropped to the freezing
point and while the cold and the
storm does not compare to that trans
piring in the western and middle
states, nevertheless all the trimmings
of winter are with us, with the result
that spirng blowing, flower beds,
butter cups and gardens are covered
with mantle of the beautiful to the
depth of six inches in the valley.
On the uplands, the foothill slopes
and the mountain stock ranges, the
snow is much deeper, and it is there
the greater loss from the storm will
occur. In the warm, spring like days
Of February, when the farmer was
plowing and preparation for garden
ing was going on, the sunny slopes Of
the mountain ranges were bathed in
green as if by magic, and the stock
men removed their herds from the
fields to these hillsides where the
succulent grass had fairly good

TYPHOID EPIDEMIC OVER.
Physicians at Eugene Announce THAI
Fever Is Stamped Out.

Physicians at Eugene Announce That
Fever Is Stamped Out.
The physicians of Eugene announce
that the typhoid fever epidemic has
been eGectually stamped out. No new
cases have been reported for ten days
past and practically all the patients
are recovering. There are few
that are yet pretty sick, but no more
deaths are expected.
As result of the epidemic six
deaths occurred in the city, only
three of which were from typhoid
alone. OF the other cases, two were
complicated with pneumonia, and one
with spinal meningitis. People of
the city in general are rejoicing OVER
the abatement of the epidemic, aud
but for the large number of patieuts
not yet recovered from the fever, cou-
ditions are again normal. Residents
will continue to boil their drin king
water, however, until such time as
the city secures supply of pure water
or until the filtering plant is built.

CASE NOT SUSTAINED.
Charge of Wife-Beatipg Against IL. #
johnson Dismissed.

Charge of Wife, Beating Against II. #.
johnson Dismissed.
The charge Of WIFE beating brought
in Justice Woods court against R. f..
johnson by his father law, J. FL.
Logan, was dismissed Monday on
motion of the district attorney e..
w. Phelps, says the Leader.
Defendant then plead guilty to an
assault upon his son, John johnson,
and paid fine and costs to the amount
of $3.50.
There was no evidence to support
the charge of WIFE beating brought by
Logan. Johnson drove to town Mon
day morning accompanied by his wife,
daughter and two sons, all of whom
were prepared to testify in bis behalf.
He admitted throwing cup at bis
son John because the youth cursed
him, but says that he merely showed
his wife, who was between them,
aside, and her hand struck the stove,
burning it. This version was fully
corroborated by Mrs. johnson.
Quite a crowd assembled in Weston
to hear the case, but met with disap-
pointment. Behind closed doors at
Squire Powers Office battle of
words is said to have occurred be-
tween Logan and his in-law, while
on the outside dozen noses were fat
tened against the glass. Powers lost
good wad Of gate money by not ad-
mitting an audience at SO much per.

start.
Today the prospects are indeed
gloomy for the stockmen. In place Of
browsing on the hillsides, the animals
that are strong enough have perhaps
returned to the stubble fields on the
lower lands, while the weaker ones
stand huddled in groups in ten inches
Of snow, with absolutely nothing to
eat except what can be hauled to
them by wagon.
Stock cattle, generally speaking,
have wintered badly under the most
favorable conditions for food and
shelter this season. They entered the
winter season in poor order because of
the short and inadequate forage offer
ed by the late summer and fall ranges,
as the result of protracted drouth.
Cows especially were in low state
of weakness when taken from the
fields few days ago, and under the
most favorable weather conditions
the loss would have amounted to con-
siderable, but as the result Of the un-
expected storm, the loss will be much
more.

Walked Out of Town.

The Central Stock company walked
out of town Saturday, after an i'll.
starred engagement, says the Weston
L eader. They presented "The Con-
vict's Daughter Friday night tc
about dozen people. and only es
capped a shower of antique eggs and
unmarketable vegetables because the
audiences pity was excited by hard
luck story from the manager. They
had no scenery, and no apparent ex-
cuse for being on the road. Indeed,
it was forlorn outfit that meandered
out of town in the direction of
Athena, leaving hotel. opera house
and printing bills unpaid.

THE FIRST Wool.
Two Wagonloads of 10000 Pounds
Each Pass Through Pilot Rock.

Two wsgonloads of 10000 Pounds
Each Pass Through Pilot Rock.
The first wool of the season to pass
through Pilot Rock on its rway TO
Pendleton was seen Thursday. It was
the property of the Cunningham Sheep
aud Land company, whose head
quarters are only few miles south
east of Pilot Rock, reports the Record,
The consignment consisted of two
wagonloads of $4,000 pounds each.
The wagons were hauled by 12 head
of horses.
Shearing commenced at the COM
pany's headquarters last Monday
and there are at present sixty shearers
employed. The weather is bright and
balmy and little fear is expressed of
any sudden change in the weather con-
ditions. 1t is estimated that this
years wool crop of the Cunningham
Sheep and Land company will total
upwards of $4,000.

OFFERS 800 FOR ROAD
BID FOR THAT AMOUNT FILED
WITH COUNTY COURT.
Mile Selected for Test in Which Every
Glass of Eastern Oregon Soil
Is Found

Yesterday afternoon Athena's $500
bid for mile of experimental road
to be built by the government at some
point in Eastern Oregon, was filed
with the county court by G. A. Bar
rett of this city.
The money was raised in few
hours by popular subscription. In
addition to the fact that rock for
macadamizing purposes can be se-
cured conveniently, will undoubtedly
add materially to the weight of
Athena's bid for the road.
Another matter of good consideration
which Athena offers is the location of
the proposed thoroughfare. One mile
of road has been selected which in-
cludes almost every known character
and class of soil mbraced in the for
nation of Eastern Oregon and the
Inland Empire. From the head of
Main street east to the Dudley place,
thence south across the Wildhorse
creek bottom, every character of soil
formation in the stretch of one mile
is encountered.
The dry, loose volcanic ash of the
wheat fields; the hardpan strata; the
black, murky alkali bog; the gravel
bed and the sand dune, and last, but
not least, the sticky, heavy gumbo
loan of the creek bottom-all are
found in generous, distinct and separ-
ate deposits. In fact, within this
mile of road are found all elements
that for years have tried the patience
of roadmakers, ard of the people
travelling Eastern Oregon highways.
Those who have the matter in
charge are confident that Athena has
more to offer in the way of test for
sound, practical road making than
any other locality in Eastern Ore
gon. Shoulders are at the wheel and
an altogether" pull will be made
to secure the road.

Sheep Law Will be Tested.

At the request of the sheepmen OF
Umatilla county District Attorney
Phelps has commenced an appeal to
the supreme court to test the legality
OF the migratory stock law declared
unconstitutional by Judge Ellis. The
law was passed at the last session OF
the legislature and imposes tax oi
20 cents head on all sheep brought
into the state for grazing purposes
Last spring W. P. Reeser, Of Walla
Walla, brought suit to recover SIC
tax on the grounds that the law wai
unconstitutional. While there is but
little hope of having the decision re-
versed, the sheepmen desire to bt
fully prepared for new law at The
next session of the legislature, proyid
ing their appeal fails.
