New System Growing in Favor

During the week number OF boss
sheepmen have been here to see how
their herders and camp tenders are
getting along One Of them, who de-
sired that his name be not mention
ed, in fact objected to being quoted
at all, said that the kick about the
reserve policy is fast being reduced
to whisper. 1.-THE fact of the mat
ter is," said he, "when the govern
ment officials trim the regulations so
that the bona fide owners Of sheep,
cattle and horses, lying close to the
ranges, will get fair share of the
range, the kick will be nil The out
siders can now have but little kick.
Fer one thing the system is going to
do away with the shooting and kill
Ing and for another, the forest fires
will be practically stopped. OF
course there will be some fellows do
Ing politics all the time to get the
best of the game and the ranges.
These will be found among the big
owners and the policy, as understand
1t. is to see that the little fellows,
like myself, get a fair share."-Blue

Saved by n Slow Watch.

Aaron Kelly of Moscow, Idaho, did
not go down In the Inflated Column
bia. This pleasing information reach
ed his friends and relatives in this
city last night. Mr.. Kelly on the
day that the Columbia sailed from
San Francisco went to the office and
secured his passage, then sent his
luggage down to the steamers dock
and It was taken on board. Having
some little business matters to look
after about the city, Mr.. Kelly at
tended to these and then started to
the pier, only to find that his watch,
which was 10 minutes slow. had saw
ed his life, for the Columbia was
steaming down the bay as he came
in sight of the dock.
He then purchased n railway tick
ct for Portland and reached there in
safety, from which place word was
received.
Mr.. Kelly was evidently not born
to be drowned. When boy he was
rescued from a watery grave and re-
suscitated only after a vigorous eff
fort. A few years ago he was one
of four men to go through the "big
eddy" in the Clearwater river, a
thing that both Indians and pioneer
white men have always contended
could not be done, and still there is
no reason to doubt Kelly's statement.

OF $53S,S95 in the value of personal
property in the county for the year,

vance of about s7SS,S95. The differ
ence is due to the change in the law

New Pumping System at La Grande

New Pumping System at La Grande.
Tomorrow Round House Foreman
Ed Thomas will commence an expert
ment with the artesian well, which
IL successful, will do away with con-
siderable pumping at present, and
the absence of permanent pump
where the present improvement on
the shops and round house are COM
pleted.
The plan is to force the water from
the well into the water tank at the
coal chutes for immediate use in the
engines. At present the water is
piped to the reservoir in the rear of
the old round house and from there
pumped by steam power to the en-
gine watering tank. To do away with
this undesirable method hydraulic
force will be resorted to. In the ex-
pertinent the air pump on q loco
motive will be used in raising the
water for the tank. A nozzle will be
attached to the water pipe near the
artesian we'll and by pumping air
against 1t, 1t is hoped that the force
will he sufficient to raise the water
In pipe to level with the water
tank. The experiment will be tried
