STOCKMEN HAVE
SAVED THEIR HAY
ONLY HALF USUAL
AMOUNT OF FEEDING DONE.
Estimated That But As Per Cent of
Usual Quantity OF Hay Fed to Sheep
During Past Winter-Large Amount
Of Old Hay Held Over-Stock Now
on Spring Ranges

A smaller quantity of hay has been
fed to cattle and sheep in Umatilla
county during the past winter than in
any winter in the entire history OF
the county, according to pioneer
stockmen who have noted the stock
! conditions in the county.
1t is estimated that not more than
45 per cent of the usual amount of
hay has been fed to sheep and perhaps
not that percentage of the usual
amount TO cattle in the county. There
has not been a week during the win
ter in which stock. including sheep,
cattle and horses have not been upon
the range and for many weeks at a
time during the winter sheep refused
to eat their hay on account of the
large amount of green grass in sight
on the foothills.
The result Of the mild winter is that
large quantities of old hay has been
-carried over and the cost of mintering
stock has been reduced to almost one
half of the usual amount expended
for this purpose.
All the stock of the county are now
on the spring range and are in excel
lent condition and a prosperous year
is in prospect.

Mayor Harry Lane has not yet de-
termined whether he will sanction
her appearance in Portland as a lec-
turer or not

speech" said Lane today, but Miss
Goldman cannot come to Portland to

would not be allowed to deliver in

them up. The murder of Averbuch,
by Chief Schippy of Chicago, the
conviction of Schmitz, the sending of
troops to Nevada, the restrictions Of

are all blows aimed at the common
people. We are too conservative
here. Miss Goldman will arouse us
to our duty"
From Portland Miss Goldman is

ron is about to sail on a secret mis-

squadron are the cruisers Yakumo,
Asna, Akitsushima and the flotilla is
composed Of torpedo boats and small

The announcement has caused in
tense excitement in official circles
here and the government at Pekin has
bestired itself mare than any time
since the trouble first broke.
No doubt is expressed here but that
the destination OF the Japanese fleet
is Macao.
The trouble between Japan and
China, which apparently is again
rapidly nearing a crisis which may
result in war, began on February I,
when the officials OF China seized the
japanese steamer Tatsu Maru off
Macao charging that she carried arms
to the Chinese rebels.
The japanese flag was hauled
down and the crew held as contra
bandists, The Tatsu Maru was taken
to Wampoa on the Canton river, where
she is still held,

ACT Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Portland Judge Gives Decision on Act
Governing Living Off Fallen Wo-
mans Earnings.

hasNh y A|esA hAAe3os
Portland, Mar. 14.-The law of
1905, making II crime for a man to
live with fallen woman, was declar-
ed unconstitutional by Judge Cleland
in the circuit court yesterday because
the legislature had neglected to in
clude that part of the act in the title.
The decision was handed down in the
case of the state against Robert Ba-
ker, who was indicted on the charge
Of living with a fallen woman. Judge
Cleland sustained a demurrer to the
charge, dismissing 1t. other statutory
charges covering the same acts can
be brought against this class OF men,
and a new charge has already been
prepared against Baker. This charge
can be much more easily proved
though the penalty is not so severe.
The act in question provides four
different crimes, three Of which are
mentioned in the title, and will stand.
But, according to the district attor-
ney, it is so difficult to secure proof
Of the other three crimes that Judge
Cleland's ruling practically renders
the act useless.
Prosecutions under the other stat
utory charges which are available will
be conducted with vigor so that the
men at whom the law was aimed will
not go unmolested.
