SETTLES RANGE TROUBLES.
Chief Ranger Schmitz Ends the Diff
culties i'm Wenaha Forest Reserve.

The Walla Walla Statesman says
of the settlement of the trouble be-
tween the stockmen in the wenaha
reserve on the headwaters of the
Walla Walla river:
Chief Ranger ]. NJ. Schmitz re-
turned late Saturday night from a trip
to the Big Meadows, where he went
to investigate a conflict between Da-
win Brothers and the cattlemen over
the range on the headwaters of Mill
creek and the Walla Walla river.
81 found that DAWN Brothers have
been grazing one of their bands on
cattle territory nearly all summer"
said Chief Ranger Schmitz. "The
difficulty was settled. however, by
the Davins driving their sheep into
sheep territory again. don't look
for any further trouble in ,that quar-.
ter"
Ranger Schmitz says the range in
the vicinity of the Big Meadows is in
fairly good condition. The ridges are
pretty well grazed over. but there is
lots of feed in the canyons and along
the creek bottoms.
Ranger Schmitz will leave in a day
or so for the Asotin district to inves-
gate complaints from cattle men
that the sheepmen are encroaching
on their territory.
There is bound to be more or less
trouble the first year owing to both
the cattle and sheepmen not being
fully conversant with the lines" said
Rranger Schmitz. "By another year
the sheep and cattlemep should know
their respective district, which will
probably put an end to complaints
such as have been frequently made
this season."

MANY FISHERMEN DROWNED.
About 20 Men Lost on Columbia Bar
This Season.

Because the Royal Chinook refus-
ed this year to come in over the CO.
lumbia bar, and fishermen were COM
PEELED to go out after them or return
to the canneries with empty boats,
between so and 10 lost their lives
during the season which closed Satur-
day night, ays a Portland paper. The
number is greater than ever before
reported at the close of the summer
season. The names of many who
were lost will never be known for
their boats were lost with them, and
no record Is kept of the men who go
down to the sea to fish.
About $50 fishermen have returned
to Portland since the close of the sea-
son, most of them bent on taking
vacation and enjoying city life for
few weeks before seeking employ
ment for the fall and winter. Some
intend going into the hop fields, and
have already signed contracts with
yard owners in the Willamette valley.
They say life in the hop fields fur
nishes ideal recreation after nearly
five months on the rough but bracing
waters at the mouth of the Columbia
river.
Fully 60 or 10 men lost their lives
this season on the bar" said one Of
the returned fishermen this morning,
"and yet very little is said about It,
The fact of the matter is that most of
the fishermen are single fellows hav-
ing no home and few close acquaint-
ances here, little is known of them
and among their fellow fishermen
they are as a rule known only by their
first name or some nickname given
them by their partner"

BODY GROUND TO PULP.
Terrible Death of Baker County Miner
Under o. II. n N. Train.

The Baker City Herald gives the
Following account of the horrible
death of Ed Welch, a tramp miner
near Haines, under the wheels of an
o. r. & n. train:
Crushed, torn and hacked beyond
all resemblance to human form, and
strewn along the track for miles.
searchers yesterday found the body of
Ed Welch, rowing miner from the
Flagstaff mine, who I'm an effort to
beat his way on an o. r. & n. train,
met death Saturday night.
Pieces of the body were found SUM-
day morning by the crew of an east
bound freight which arrived here be-
tween and 9 o'clock. Chief Jack
son was notified and with ALI Currey,
acting as coroner in the absence OF
DR.. Ison, search was made for the
remaining pieces of the dead man.
Welch was killed near a crossing OF
the Haines road four miles north of
town. Pieces of the body were found
scattered along the track on either
side from about half mile on this
side of the crossing to about half a
mile north of 1t.
These were picked up and brought
to Baker by the searchers. One toe
was found two miles and quarter
north of the crossing on the road to
Haines.
Not a feature of the man remained
when the body was picked up. There
was no head, there was no face, moth
ing but shreds OF grimy flesh and
chunks of dirt-covered muscle.
The dead man was about As years
Of age. He was a native of Ireland,
but had travelled all over the world as
an adventurous miner. He had mined
in Africa, in Australia and in all the
western states. He was identified
through a card he carried introducing
him to J. ii. Connor, the Sumpter sa-
loon man, the card being signed by
G. c. Thomas. 1t was the only mark
of Identification on the body.

CATTLE BRING S5.35.
Chicago Paper Says Prospects Are
Good for Westerners.


The following review of the cattle
market in Chicago is from the Chi
cago Livestock World:
The weeks supply of range cattle
approximates $1,000 head and owing
to this liberal run all grades are
lower, best heavy westerns 10c and 15c
and other sorts 25c to zoe lower than
a week ago. The inquiry for rangers
Of good weight and quality continues
strong, this being largely due OF the
fact that there Is n shortage Of good
native corn fed cattle.
The highest price Of the week Is
s5.35, and this was obtained on Thurs
day Of 23 head of 1330-ib steers
shipped by Sieben e. Arnett, Culbert-
son, Mont.
The next highest price was s5.25.
This was also obtained by us and was
for 81 head Of 1300-fb steers sold on
Mnoday belonging to Craig Bros.
Belle Fourche, s. d.
There was also sold 27 head Of
North Dakota steers, averaging 1853
fbs, at s5.25. Another sale was that
of 20 head Of 111S-fb steers at $5.15
for ". Bernard Belle Fourche, s. D..
In other words we topped the range
cattle market the first four days of
this week.
We believe 1t is good policy to hold
back steers that are going to benefit
by longer running. There Is a short
age OF well matured native cattle ana
the fat westerns have got to take their
place. The prospect is therefore IA
vorable for this class OF western
throughout the season.

one highly interesting adjunct to
the work of the NJ. E. church is the
deaconness training and work. This
is practically a new department in
the northwest, but is considered one
of the best departments of relief and
rescue work.
The department maintains hospi-
tails and rescue stations and carries
on relief work in connection with the
regular church organization.
The Yakima Republic gives the
following account of the report of the
ldeaconness department at the NJ. E.
conference for this district, which has
just been held in North Yakima:
Miss Mary Curnick told of the Dea-
conness Home for the Aged in Spo-
kane. She says that the home at the
present time cares for II old people
from the ages of 65 to 101 years, who
would have to go to the poor farm IL
this home were not provided for them.
They own the home and six lots in
the edge of Spokane where they grow
their own vegetables and raise their
own fruit and chickens. The old peo-
pie do such little tasks as they are
able around the place, and with the
faithful work and care of the deacon
nesses and such donations as are re-
ceived from time to time, these old
people are cared for and their last
ha
From year to year the home is
added to and improvements made on
the place. Miss Curnick says that all
donations such as money, clothes, or
fruit are gratefully received by both
the deaconnesses and the inmates of
the home. She says that this fall
they hope to build a hospital room as
many infirm old people are turned
away since they have no place for
those who are helpless.
Miss Flo S. Jordan made an inter-
esting talk on "Reminiscences of a
Visiting Deaconness." She told of
their work in the slums, of their work
with little children who had never
been taught of God and had no place
to play in the daytime but the streets,
and the sick and helpless they had
nursed. She says that they. as dea-
connesses do work and take cases,
that as trained nurses money could
not hire them to do.
Rev W. E. Armfield spoke of the
Deaconness hospital in Spokane and
told many things of interest about the
work and the improvements which are
made from time to time. The hospi-
tai is four stories high and accommo-
dates So patients.
After his address Mss Mary Hep
burn of the Deaconness Training
school of Seattle made an appeal to
| the mothers to be more willing to give
their daughters to the work.
She said that many times young
girls feel that they are called and
would willingly give a part, at least.

Perhaps you think there is nothing

is the very funny way they have Of

morsel in piece of tobacco leaf. This
they place in their cheek and, smack
ing their lips delightedly, hold it there
until it is dissolved. This dainty Is
called '1aloop" and is the choicest NOR
sci known to the little Eskimo stomach.
