STRANGE DWELLING PLACES OF
PEOPLE OF cAPPADocIA.
Volcanic Region Of Asia Minor Prov
ing an Interesting and Profitable
Research Ground for
Scientists.

II one viii take "a map Of Asia Minor
and draw a line through Tarsus due
north across the peninsula and
another line through Smyrna d.
rectly east, the two lines will inter-
cept in the volcanic region of Mount
Argaeus, where the cone pyramids
and pure cliff dwellings Of cappadocia
are found.
The whole region is Of volcanic for
nation, which covers vast area ex.
tending west to Seine and south to
Soghanlu Dere, and is composed Of
deep layer of pumice stone, tufa OF
peperine, overlaid in the region Of
Tatlar by rugged lava fields
The pumlce or tufa is of almost in
credible thickness, but the overlaid
layer of lava Is comparatively thin,
not more than three feet at any point
The tufa is so soft that It can be dug
away with the thumb-nail, so that only
time and patience were necessary to
excavate 1t into chambers OF any re-
quired size 1t is known that a cham
Der 25 feet long, l3 feet broad and ten
feet high was excavated by o single
workman in the space Of 30 days.
In this region the troglodytes Of
Cappadocia have the wonderful dwell
ings which were first described by
Paul ,Lukas. who travelled in Asia
Minor on the commission Of Louis
XIV. His story was discredited, but
Il is correct in every vital particular.
and ne perhaps understood the truth
when he estimated the number OF
cones at 10000. The region was visited
in succession by TeMer. Hamilton.
Tschichatscheff. Ainsworth. Barth and
Mordtmann, but Il is still virtually
unknown.
The height of the cones varies
greatly, ranging perhaps from SO TO
300 feet The tallest cones USUALLY
stand in the center Of an eroded val
ley, but rot always. The process Of
disintegration by the solvent action
OF water still continues, Of course, and
In many cones the exterior wall has
been worn away TO such an extent
that the chambers are laid bare Such
exposed chambers, If they lie fairly
TO the sun, are used for drying
grapes and other fruit, as they are
safe against invasion by animals.
Often the cones are almost perfect
in shape. and originally all of them
We're crowned by caps of lava.
Very often the doorways are quite
elaborate, and display an attempt at
architectural and decorative effect,
more especially in the case of cones
that have been turned into temples,
churches or chapels.

OBJECTS TO
SHEEP DIPPING LAW
(Pendleton Tribune.)

DffHsNa hfsh hAtU LIZ W
(Pendleton Tribune.)
Fresh trouble Is brewing betweer
the Washington and Oregon sheep
men over the law which requires al
sheep brought into the state to b.
dipped. The range involved is tho
wenara government reserve which
has been herder's storm center fol
several years.
Attorney II. c. Bryson of walls
walla came down yesterday and filed
the case for the Washington sheer
men, asking for temporary in
junction against the Oregon state
sheep inspector to prevent his hav-
ing the Washington sheep on the re-
serve dipped until the case shall be
tried upon its merits before Judge
Bean OF the circuit court.
Mr.. Bryson said yesterday that the
Oregon law did not require the dip
ping OF sound sheep after August
l.; that the Washington sheep on the
reserve had been duly inspected and
found to be in good condition.; that
water was low on the reserve, and
that he considered the case one Of
selfshness on the part OF oregon
sheepmen.
Another Side 20 the Subject.
w. II. Lytle, however, puts the
matter In a different light when the
state sheep inspector shows up the
law to the effect that all sheep must
be dipped once a year and that the
reason for dipping the Washington
sheep at the present time Is that the
time was extended from August TO
September 1.
At the proper time the Washing
ton sheepmen were ordered TO do
their dipping and we're preparing for
II, but Forester Schmitz forbade II
being done on the reserve. This de-
layed matters until the Oregon state
inspector wrote TO the head OF the
forestry Office at Washington. Tho
letter brought forth an immediate
revocation OF schmltz's decree. The
way being clear, therefore. Lytle pro-
poses 20 go ahead with the dipping
The law referred TO by Mr.. Bryson
regarding the first OF August aS the
limit, after which sheep need not
be dipped, admits of an extension OF
the time in case II Is necessary TO do
so. The action OF Forester Schmitz,
who has his Office In walla walla.
compelled the extension OF the time.
The intent OF the law IL TO have the
sheep dipped once each year for the
sake OF the health OF all the focks
on the range. This policy was heart
lily approved OF by the head Office OF
the forest service In the letter writ
ten TO the Oregon state Inspector.
Judge Gilliland had not given
his decision yesterday evening, but
II is probable that he will fnd the
men entitled 10 the
Temporary Restraining order until
Judge Bean returns TO hear the case.
