COYOTE WORE EAR TAG.
Trapper in Wyoming Captured AMI
nal That Had Been Marked 10
Years Ago

William Mitchell, a typical from
tiersman, who is trapping coyotes for
number Of sheepmen of this section
of the country, secured coyote near
the Muddy bridge that had Standard
Meat G. Livestock company's tag in
its ear says a Cheyenne dispatch.
In 1898 this coyote was captured
with a number of others, all young,
by Marsey's camp-movers. The ami
NAL was saved from among the others
and marked by placing the tag in its
ear
A. T. Corlett was present when the
experiment was made. What volumes
could be written about the crafty lit
tie ANIMAL, concerning his trickery in
evading traps and poison bait, as he
roamed the range and hills during the
past years. Calculating the amount
of damage done by the ravenous ap-
petite of this one coyote during its 15
years on the sheep range as two sheep
per month. very fair estimate, the
value of sheep being SO per head,
the aggregate amount would be $10S0,
which might have been saved had the
experiment never been made.

Tore Up Track for Over 100 Feet.

Yesterday evening ABOUT s o'clock
a locomotive on its way to vending
on the Mohawk branch left the rails
from some unknown cause and run
ming along the ties and tearing up
the track for a distance of nearly 100
feet it turned turtle, No one was Sc
riously hurt, although Fireman Nc
Cullough suffered severe cuts on his
right hand. Both the engineer and
fireman jumped before the locomo-
tive turned over, says the Eugene
Guard.
The locomotive. whose number is
21g6, was pulling a caboose and was
on the way to Vending after a num-
ber Of cars Of lumber. AS it reached

right the engine, but up to late hour
this afternoon the train had not beer

HOGS GET WILD RIDE.
Loaded Sled Runs Away, Plunging
Over Embanlment.


Mr.. Beaulieu and son, who reside
about six miles northeast Of Nezperce,
met with an accident today while taxi
ing a load of hogs to Kamiah in a
bobsled, says a Nez Perce item i'll the
Lewiston Tribune.
When about half way down the hill
the sled started over the grade and
Mr.. Beaulleu's son who was driving
the four-horse team spoke sharply TO
the leaders when they lunged forward
pulling the wheelers back into the
road which were being drawn over
the grade by the weight Of the sled
and no doubt saved the team from
being badly hurt.
The sled broke loose from the
horses and rolled over several times
finally lodging against some small
trees a short distance down the hilf
Mr.. Beaulieu and son saved them
solved by jumping when the SLED
started down the grade to the sleigh
expecting to find a number of the
hogs dead.
TIL sled was found to be pretty bad
ly wrecked but the hogs had escaped
and were scattered around on th'
hillside uninjured in the least. After
several hours work the sled was re-
paired, the hogs recaptured and the
journey to Kamiah confined withou
further mishap.

HOW THE TIGER DIED.
NO MORE GAMBLING IN
NEW MEXICO
Albuquerque Paper Tells OF the Clos
ing of Games I'm That City After an
Uninterrupted Run OF Over 10
Years-Provislons of Anti i-Gambling
Law May BE Tested I'm Court.

The following entertaining account
of the closing OF gambling in Albu-
querque, N. M, on January l, 1908,
is from the Albuquerque Morning
Journal. The Journal of that date
says:
The Tiger is dead.
The classic beast expired in great
agony at midnight last night.
Licensed gambling, which has been
a characteristic feature of southwest
ern life for half century, is over In
New Mexico.
Every gambling resort in the city
was packed all day yesterday and
last night and as the hour of mid
night drew near the excitement grew
rather intense Men were packed as
thick as they could stand in the st.
Elmo. the White Elephant, Graham
Brothers place, and all the other re-
sorts where the green cloth has reign
ed and the wheel has spun for many,
many years.
As the hands pointed to IL o'clock
and the whistles began to hail the
advent OF 1908 crowds with a final
whoop began to rush for the doors
while the gamblers crowded the days
receipts into canvas sacks and hur-
riedly placed them in the safes.
II was rumored that Joe Barnett
had stuffed tiged on exhibition
whose throat was to be cut with a
big knife at midnight, but the epi-
sode did not mater'alize.
While thousands of people gam
bled yesterday they were mostly
"pikers," and the net receipts of the
day were not very large, no startling
sums changing hands across the ta-
bles
As far as can be learned there is
no disposition anywhere to evade the
law and the gamblers and saloon men
are taking the proposition philisoph-
ically
"They are all leaving" said one
proprietor last night of the gamblers
1.-TWO weeks ago, even II was thin
ming out rapidly. No big money has
appeared today at my place, although
lots of fellows not habitual gamblers
have been dipping in little"
About 90 resorts have been licens
ed In the city previous to the new veal
and the change will be n most notice
able one.
"I hope to see the workingmer
spend little more Of their money or
their homes and families" said q
we'll known jurist In the city las

Cantnred Alleged Forger.

Several days ago Chief of Police
Walden received instructions from
Ed Rand, sheriff of Baker county to
watch for a man by the name Of Fred
Parker, giving a meager description
says the La Grande Observer. This
forenoon Chief Walden thought he
had the man spotted. but before max
ing the arrest called up Sheriff Rand
over the phone for details. He then
felt sure that he had the man wanted
and placed him in the city Jail, await
ing the arrival Of the sheriff on the

plant Trees Along Lanes.

II every farmer and orchardlst
would plant his lane borders with
trees that would grow into wood the
fuel famine would not be such COM
mon subject for discussion in a few
years, says The Dalles Chronicle.
Pasture corners could be planted
with trees, and protected, when in a
few years they would make good
shade for the cattle. The limbs of
the trees on ripening would make
good fuel These are suggestions for
the treeless region of eastern oregon.
In some states the legislature has
passed bill saying that II farmer
plants trees around his land In every
space and the trees grow and thrive
that the land so planted shall be ex-
empt from taxation for period of
years.
We wonder how this plan would
work in eastern Oregon.

A Eour.Foot Snow Fall.

Heavy SHOWS last week played hav-
oc with the travel in all parts of
Grant county, and in some localities
much damage was done to timber.
Jas. Tracy, who operates the stage
line between Canyon City and lee,
reported three feet OF fresh snow In
the Snow Shoe country and for miles
the public highway was blocked by
timber broken down by the weight Of
the snow. Drivers on the Burns and
Austin mail routes report a like ex-
perience.
The snow fall in the Austin, Whit
ney and Sumpter mountains reached
almost four feet, and the regular
trains on the Sumpter Valley railroad
on Thursday were delayed "a hours.
All mail routes are again open and

NvENTs NEW COMBINE.
Colfax Man Builds Machine That Has
Many New Features-Will Save La


A combined harvester constructed
on an entirely new principle has been
invented by George w. Hull of Col
fax. and IL the machine proves the
success that Mr.. Hull anticipates, a
company will be organized and the
machines will be manufactured In
Spokane. says the Dayton Courier
Press. Mr.. Hull has spent several
months on his machine and has
standard sized harvester almost COM
pleted. He says his machine requires
n less number of horses and only
three men to operate It, saving from
12 to 16 horses and two to three men.
Instead of pulling the harvester, as
is done with machines now harvest
ing the crops of the inland empire,
the new harvester will be pushed with
horses. on the same principle as the
ordinary header. Unlike the ordinary
machine the driver on the Hull har-
vester operates the grain platform
and the height at which the sickle Is
adjusted to cut either tall or short
grain. In the new machine the sep
arator, which is the ordinary station
ary separator swung on pivots both
front and behind and a leYeling de-
vice is arranged so that either going
up or down hill or on a side hill the
separator is level at all times. This
mechanism does away with one man,
who on the ordinary machine is re-
quired to adjust it both for side hills
and travelling up or down hill.
An arrangement is being provided
to bale the straw coming from the
machine into small sized bales, where
the farmer desires to save 1t. A de-
vice is also being perfecter to save
the weed seed from being scattered
on the ground.
The machine, when 1t is built for
the trade, will weigh about 410C
pounds and is considerably lighter
than the ordinary machine. 1t is
constructed of steel with the excep'
ton OF few parts which are OF
wood.

His Gun Exploded.

George Newton met with an acci-
dent at Silverton while hunting ducks
which he would not care to have re-
peated, even under the most favor
able circumstances. AS he was walk
ing along in pursuit OF game, he fell
headfirst. throwing his gun into the
water. At this point the contents OF
both barrels were discharged and the
gun was literally torn to pieces. The
explosion tumbled Mr.. Newton into
the water and excitement was high
for a time, but fortunately he was not
injured.-Salem Statesman.

NO CUT IN LUMBER PRICES.
Weyerhauser Says No Reduction from
Old Schedules.

A dispatch from st. Paul, MINI.
yesterday stated that the Weyerhaus-
er Lumber company had announced
a reduction of 80 per cent in the price
of lumber, says the Spokesman-Re-
view. 1t was not said that the re-
duction would affect points in the vi
cinity Of Spokane, and when Gus
Luellwitz of the Day-Luellwitz Lum-
ber company was asked yesterday re-
gardlng the matter he said that he
had heard nothing of a cut in prices
in this vicinity.
"Sixty days ago." said Mr.. Lueli-
witz, "the announcement of such a
cut would have been all right, but at
the present time I do not think there
is anything in 1t. I have heard of no
recent attempt to lower the prices OF
lumber in Spokane"
The McGoldrick Lumber company
said It had heard OF no contemplated
cut In Spokane in lumber prices.

with a one-stamp mill on a big fir
stump in the back Of his cabin, and
a wife who knows how to run the
mill. Albert Moore Is doing the min
ing and their daily receipts show a
cleanup Of about $50, says a Lewis
ton letter.
This is the story that is brought to
Lewiston by ]. s. Fry, who is an own
er Of promising properties in the Big
creek district of the Thunder noun
tain camp, where Mr.. Moore and
wife are operating their property.
"Moore and his wife came to the
district more than a year ago" said
Mr.. Fay, land he located the property
log cabin, and as soon as he had made
his locations, they brought in the one
stamp mill that is now developing the
property.
"The mine is located 800 feet
above the millslte and during all OF
last winter Moore brought the ore to
the mill wrapped In a COW hide. He
has now installed tram system that
means bigger returns for the mill on
the stump.
1--WE call It the little mill on the
stump" continued Mr.. Fay, because
It is the first free gold in the district"
Mr.. Fay says that the Moore prop
critics are Of the most promising In
the Big Creek district, that the vein
is from 40 to so feet in width and that
the present mining operations are be-
ing carried on an eight-foot vein,
which is free milling
Important development work has
been carried on in the district during
the last year and Mr. Fay believes
there will be boom next season. He
says there is one property where the
locators are dragging the decomposed
quartz to the creek and sluicing 1t to
extract the free gold. He says there
will be a big free gold exploitation In
the camp next year.
