The Gazette was pleased to re-
ceive a letter last week from an
old friend and subscriber, Mr.. j,
M. Ermis. Mr.. Ennis moved to
near Moravia several years ago
and has now moved to Seymour
in Baylor county where he has
bought land and is improving
same. He says that he is well
pleased with North Texas, that
there is still plenty of cotton in
the fields and some farmers are
paying as high as s1.5o per hun
bred to have it picked. He re-
ports health of himself and falni-
ly to be good.

FINE CATTLE FOR OREGON.
Wallowa County StOclmen Buy Fine

Hercfords From Yakima Growers.
Two carloads of Hereford cattle
representing an investment Of about
$4,000, we're recently shipped out of
North Yakima, Wash, says the Yaki-
ma Republic.
The animals are from the herds
Of A. ]. Splawn and have been pur-
chased by stockmen Of the Wallowa
valley, Oregon. In the opinion Of
the breeder they are as fine collec-
ton OF animals Of the kind as has
ever been got together this side of
the Rocky mountains.
There are 40 animals in the con-
signment. One car consists Of 20
pure bred Hereford bull calves.
These animals have been sold to va
rious stockmen OF the Wallowa val
ley and their distribution throughout
that section Of the country means
great improvement in the future in
the Oregon herds.
The second car consists Of 20 head
Of selected females, heifers and cows
and are for Geo. S. Craig of Enter
prise. Ore. Mr.. Splawn thinks this
car a superior one. Prices paid for
the animals vary from $3.50 to $3.50
head. Mr.. Splawn's sale of stock
within the past year has been con-
slderably in excess of $4,000.

The statement that much of the
range land OF the Yakima country
"is as good as the Palouse" applies
with equal force to portions OF the va
cant range land of Umatllla county.
The Yakima Republic says OF the
conversion Of a large tract OF dry
range land In that county into wheat
land:
Three thousand five hundred acres
OF land on the north slope Of the Sc
lah, about five miles from North
Yakima changed owners today when
L. d. S. Patton purchased the tract
from b. L. Harris and George W.
Harris for $4,000. which is some
thing better than 81 an acre.
This land has been range land, and
a portion OF It will continue as such.
Mr.. Patton, however. has the Idea
that large portion OF It can be con-
verted into wheat growing, and 1t Is
with that object in view that he has
made the purchase.
He has been experimenting with
WHedl BTOWlnB up III tHc ANtVh oiu
has had great success. He believes
that the Selah land will produce
wheat equally as well and as abund-
antly as the Rattlesnake and Horse
Heaven sections.
At least, he proposes having a shy
at II. He will not make the effort
himself, but will put the land on the
market for sale to those who will.
That portion which is not consider
ed fit for the purpose will be seld
for grazing.
As Good as the PalOuse.
II don't see why II cannot grow
wheat" said Mr.. Patton this morning.
"In my opinion II is as good as the
Palouse II handled properly. II has
been lying idle all this time when
II could have been put to use"
One portion OF the tract is under
the Selah ditch and has gone into
the hands OF a man who will culti-
vnte II. There Is no water for the
balance and that phase Of its future
has not been considered.

GOOD HORSE MARKET.
Chicago Paper Discusses Likelihood
OF Higher Prices.

VI AAAA~Ds
Whether or not we have reached
the top wave of high prices for well
bred harness horses will be deter
mined shortly at the big sales which
are to be held in different sections
OF the country, says the Chicago
Hor9eman.
Harness horses Of good quality
have been advancing steadily i'm
price for several years, and very
general opinion prevails that we
have reached the limit, or at least
have come to point where further
advance is not to expected until a
lower level has been maintaied for
a time.
Prices which have prevailed dur
ing the past month must not be tax
en- as a good indication of the gen.
eral trend Of the market for we do
not look for higher prices just at the
close Of the racing season.
The fall sales already begun, Will
give something like a true idea of
values for the speed harness horse,
What sales we have had have fallen
in a bad time for good prices. With
the finacial situation Of the country
seriously disturbed high prices are
not to be expected.

death of "Red" Popham, Samuel Biggs,

Mysterious Death.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. President
Edmund r. Watson, of the Northern
National Bank, Of this city, was instant
ly killed while swimming in the pool of
the Columbia Club, one of the city's
prominent social organizations, today.
According to one story of the tragedy,
after spending several hours at the club
Watson decided to take q swim.
With several friends he entered the pool
at two O'Clock this morning aud finally
decided to take plunge from the diving
board. Watson mounted the platform
and poised himself for the dive when
bis foot slipped and he fell with great
force against the concrete of the tank. His
friends rushed to his assistance and i'm
mediately summoned physician, who
on arrival pronounced the bank pres
ident dead.
The superintendent Of the club re-
fused positively TO give out any partic-
ulars of the affair at police head
quarters. 1t was reported that there was
rumor that Watson had committed su-
icide.
Another version Is that the bank pres.
ident entered the pool shortly after mid
night unaccompanied and that two hours
later his body was found in the pool by
the engineer.

Rioters Killed.

LODI, Poland, Aug. Thirty lives
lost and score of persons seriously in
jured through fighting between troops
and mobs is the record so far of the
latest attempt to insugurate a general
labor war in LODI. Apparently this is
only the beginning, and the city seems
to be on the verge OF further disorder,
violence and bloodshed such as marked
other attempts to make general strike SELF
fective. Additional troops are being
hurried to the city, but it is feared they
will arrive too late to prevent serious
clashes.
Today business is at a standstil. The
principal leaders OF the socialists have
been arrested, but this only enraged the
strikers more. Some cars were burned
ia the streets. The Cossacks and drs-
gOons were hardly able to cope with
their angry antagonists. The trouble
started yesterday when 1872, 900 work
men were called out.
