RESURVEXING STATE
EOAE IN OKANOGAN

OKANOGAN, June S.-A crew of
road surveyors are resurVeying the
old state road from Pater6s up the

having disappeared. Word has been
sent out from the state capital that

done this summer: on the Columbia
and Okanogan valley road, aside
from making the survey, will be the
construction CT a bridge across the
Methow river at Pateros and the
cutting of a roadway through Nc
Gothlins canyon, about ten miles
above Riverside It has been an
nounced that crew of convicts
from the state penitentiary will be
detailed to do road work in Okan-

BIC BOULDER
BUMPS COACH
Great Northern Passenger Narrowly
Escapes Bad Wreck High Up
in Cascades.

w. E. Johnson, who came in on
the Saturday evening passenger
from Seattle, reports that the G. n.
narrowly escaped having a serious
wreck near Madison Hot Springs.
According to Mr.. Johnson's story,
as the passenger was worming its
way through the tortuous Cascade
passes an immense boulder, weighing
probably 1000 or 1900 pounds, be-
came dislodged and rolled down the
hillside toward the passing train. 1t
struck the observation car between
the forward and rear trucks, but so
low down that practically no damage
was done to the coach. Mr.. Johnson,
who is an old railroad man, realized
the danger the train was in, and
with the aid of the road master, who
happened to be in the coach, shut
the air brake and signalled the en-
gineer. The train was stopped af-
ter running a few yards, without in
jury or mishap, save that the front
trucks of the observation car left the
tracks. The boulder was dragged
along beneath the car. and after the
train was stopped it was removed by
the crew.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured would have been a disastrous
place even for a slight wreck, as it
was away up in the steep grades, the
track being visable at two points far
below, where the road winds about
the hills making the grades.
The completion Of the new tunnel
will largely reduce the menace Of
rocks and slides on the mountain

HORSE ROUNDUP IN
OKANOGAN COUNTY
1t Is Estimated There Are About
10000 Roaming About the
South Half.

OKANOGAN, June S.-The spring
roundup of horses on the Indian res
ervation commenced this week. 1t
is later this year than usual, owing
such bad condition after the hard
winter that the owners wished to
give them chance to recoup their
lost flesh and regain sufficient
strength to stand the hard chasing
incident to the roundup. About 100
riders are in the saddle this week
after the willy cayuses, which are
scattered far and near among the
hills and valleys of the great South
Half. 1t is estimated by some of
the riders that there are in the
neighborhood of 10000 horses on
the southern portion of the reserva-
ton, but much smaller number to
the north. The bunch grass is in
the hillsides sloping toward the CO.
lumbia than it is further north, and
it is here that the horses find their
way when the first signs OF spring
appear
The riders participating in this
roundup are principally Indians, al
though there are few white men
engaged in the work. Most of the
whites in the ranks are those who
ran horses on the reservation years
ago and who never succeeded in get
ting all the animals with their
brands when they quit the range 1t
is these stray animals they are after
now.
A surprising feature il connection
with the present roundup is the fact
that but a small per cent of the
horses are found to have perished
during the severe winter just passed.
The large amount of snow, the short
age of feed and the long-drawn-out
cold weather all tended to found a
belief that there would be thousands
of dead horses on the range this
spring. In fact, it was estimated that
80 per cent of the horses would die.
The present roundup is proving this
estimate far from correct. as few
dead carcasses have been found by
the riders.

Dumb Surveyors Cause Worry.

The natives are bothered again.
This time the non-communicative
surveyors are down the river, instead
of up.
Runners arriving this morning say
there is a band of them-busy with
tripods and transits and mysterious
poles-climbing up one hill and
down the next.
Some incline to the opinion that
they are Milwaukee railroad engi-
neers, seeking northwest. pass to
Wenatchee.
Others contend that they belong to
the G. n.
A third theory is that they are q
part of the Hanford irrigating party
projecting a line south from Wenat-
chee to the Northern Pacific. The
Hanford company has project un-
der consideration, it is said, for a
road through their irrigable coun-
try, connecting it with the Milwau-
kee, the G.. n and the Northern Pa
cific.
The surveyors, are in two parties.
Surveyors have an aggravating
habit of keeping their business large
ly to themselves, to the outspoken
disgust of curious people along the
line of operations.
Just who these knights of the
stake and chain may be the World
representative has not ascertained
Peradventure they are about to
build an interurban electric line
connecting Columbia Siding and
Rock Island.

Goose May Get Jealous.

SPOKANE. June S.-An egg that

tied here vasterday The hen belongs
to Mrs. Katherine Quale, of Newport,
and this is the fourth large egg from
this biddy in the last four months,
one of them tipping the scales at
seven ounces. The egg is three and
three-quarters inches long and
nine and half inches around. The
three previous large eggs contained,
besides the yolk and white parts,
another complete egg. The dame is
careful where she lays the monstrous
eggs, leaving her regular nest and

Found Dead Man Near Tunnel.

The badly decomposed corpse of a

tracks, near the Cascade tunnel. The
corpse was discovered by workmen
from the tunnel, out for walk in
the woods. 1t had apparently lain
for many days, and was unrecogniz-
able.

companied by Undertaken Sprague,
left for the scene this morning and

mains. He will return tonight.
