For the Hustler.
Over The Hills.
By James Walker aeatherly.

Over the hills and faraway
The rich man dwells in mansion gray.
His only thought is what he's worth,
He wishes he could own the earth.
The world with him is all o, X.
Over the hills and faraway,
Over the hills and faraway.
Over the hills nd faraway
A little child tolls the livelong day,
Shut in from the world he tolls long hours,
He knows no pleasures he plucks no flowers.
But tolls while the rich mans children play
Over the hills and farawav,
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and faraway
The rich man dons his broadcloth gay
And rides around in his Automobile
And brags about his lucky deal.
Ohl how he makes investments pay,
Over the hills and faraway,
Over the hills and faraway.
Over the hills and farRway
A tired little child at the close Of day
With weary bones and aching head
Falls upon coarse straw bed
Too tired to sleep, too tired to pray,
Over the hills and farRway,
Over the hills and faraway.

May a FURRY in Financial Circles

Washington, March 19.-Informa-
ton comes from a high source that
the administration is about to decide
upon a striking change in its flnan-
cial policy. The action, If taken is,
in one pai ticular, reverse to that of
Shaw.
1t will eliminate railroad securities
from the position they now occupy
as gilt edged. The foreign capital is
heavily invested and gives evidence
of an extreme sensitiveness and the
announcement of active hostility
might precipitate serious furry.
1t is understood that Cortelyou's
views on acceptable securities are
even more pronounced than the pres
ident's.
Shaw in an effort to establish an
elastic currency, interpreted the law
to be in favor of high grade railroad
bonds, and permitted banks to place
with the treasury railroad and other
bonds to the amount of the increase
of circulation desired, onditional

Immense BODY Of Fine Timber Land
I'm Southern Umatilla County Is on
the Market-La Grande Timber
Land Owners Have Pooled Their
IntcrestS-Timber Was Located in
Anticipation of the Pilot Rock
Railroad.

D. Hynde of La Grande, was in the
city last evening and today making
arrangements to place upon the mar
Ket in this city about 5000 acres OF
timber land owned by about 10 peo-
pie Of la Grande, and located in the
southern portion of Umatilla and the
northern portion of Grant county.
These people have located the land
in question within the past year in
anticipation of the completion of the
Pilot Rock branch of the o. R. 6, N,
and now that that branch is pro-
ceeding rapidly toward completion
they hope to interest capital in their
timber holdings.
The locators who held this i'm
mense body of timber land are most
ly railroad employees and working
men of La Grande and vicinity and
have pooled their claims and hope
to sell it in a body. The land in
question comprises one of the finest
bodies of timber in eastern Oregon
and the owners hope to see a saw
mill located at Pendleton to furnish
market for their timber.

the other members are seeking the
post
But for the position of state sheep
inspector more rivalry has been de-
Veloped and it is not yet clear who will
be employed. DR.. NJ. S. Lantz. former
ly federal stock inspector here, is said
to have stood an excellent show for
the place, but could not accept. DR..
w. H. Lytle is also strongly mention
ed for the post and from appearances
Is the leading candidate at this time.
Others who desire the position are
DIR, ]. B. Eddy of Oregon City, and
DIR. w. I. Jones of jefferson.
In an interview given upon his de-
parture from Salem day before YES
terday, Commissioner Steusloff is quot
ed as holding that the inspectorship
should be given a western Oregon
man In the event that Smythe is
chosen as secretary.
However the local woolgrowers de-
clare the matter is not one of patron
age, but of securing an efficient man.
They declare that from the nature of
things an eastern Oregon veterinarian
would be better qualified than one
from the Willamette valley. AS
Messrs. Boylen and Smythe will be
able to control the appointments, 1t is
very probable that one with exper.
ience in the sheep section will be
chosen. The salary allowed the in
spector is $4,000 per year with an
extra allowance Of $500 per annun
for travelling expenses.

SHEEP COMMISSIONERS FIRST MEETING
HERE TOMORROW

That the first meeting of the re-

very probable and the event Is being
looked forward to by local stockmen.
Likewise by several who are aspiring
to the position of state sheep inspector
which office was created by the Slush-

Thomas Boylen, one of the eastern
Oregon members of the commission,
Is now here and w. H. Steusloff Of
Marion county, the western Oregon
member, is expected this evening.
Dan p. Smythe, the other member Of
the board, will probably miss the meet
ing through his extended absence in
the east, However, the other two
members, constituting a majority Of
the board, may proceed to organize
and it is understood they will do so.
Under the terms of the Slusher law
the sheep commissioners are allowed
travelling expenses while in office but
no salaries. However, the secretary
of the board is given u salary OF 5000
per annum and also office rent. 1t is
the general understanding that Mr..
Smythe will be chosen as secretary
should he desire the place. Being al
ready secretary of the State Wool.

was active in drafting the law that
was passed he is held to be the most
suitable man on the commission for
the office and apparently neither of

There is land claimed by stockmen

San Francisco, March 19.-
Schmitz was plainly agitated when he
appeared in Judges Dunne's court
this morning to enter his plea to- one
extortion indictment. He was pale
and nervous and wore an expression
of apprehension.
He refused to make a statement,
saying that when he had a statement
to make he would do so in court
through his attorneys.
Halsey, it was stated, would be in
dicted on at least 12 counts. and ru-
mors came thick and fast as the
day grew older that indictments Of
practically every person mentioned
os having been concerned in yester-
days proceedings, are prophesied or
announced as being absolutely GER
tain.
One Of the indictments, 1t is stated.
will be against Nellie Smith. conf
Dental stenographer for Gerstel,
Thomas and Frick. for the Home
Telephone company. The grand
Jury was not satisfied with the evi-
dAnce she gave yesterday. but Burns
and his assistants claim they have
positive evidence that she is the per-
son who took the stenographic notes
and confidential communications be-
tween the attorneys and officials Of
the Home Telephone company and
the supervisors.
II is claimed that she knows who
took the bribe money, how much It
was, where, and by whom 1t was
passed.

A Startling Railroad Policy.

Washington, March 19.-One of the
most radical and far-reaching move
ments in American politics has been
opened in the presidents latest addi-
ton to his railroad policy.
State governments, as far as rail-
roads are concerned, are to be wiped
out. State courts and legislatures, it
is claimed by the administration, have
no jurisdiction to regulate railroads.
This means that every act by every
state legislature passed or being pass
ed since last June, is unconstitution-
al and void. Many two-cent fare laws
demurrage laws, safety coupler and
similar laws by state legislatures are
worth no more than the paper they
are written on,
