1t is entirely probable that after the
next meeting of the city council no
stock OF any kind will be allowed to
be herded in any of the streets or al
leys of the city, or upon any vacant
lots in the boundaries of the city
without the express permission of the
owners of such lots, and then only IL
the stock is in charge OF some person
sufficiently strong and mature to pre-
vent straying or damage by the stock,
says the La Grande Observer. OF
course, the ordinance proposed does
not prohibit the driving of animals
from place to place, but its main OBJ
ject is to absolutely prevent the stalk
ing or herding Of cows, etc, on the
streets and alleys. An ordinance en-
bodying these provisions was read the
second time last night, and would
in all probability have been placed
upon its final passage had not Coun-
Gilman Monroe arisen to ask how old
a person is considered by the ordi-
nance to be competent to care for
stock in the city.
As result of the discussion engen-
dered by this question, the ordinance
was referred back to the street COM
mittee, and will come up for final
passage, possibly in amended form,
at the next meeting.

HUNTING SEASON OPENS.
Western Oregon SpOrtsmen Arc
Ready for the Mountains.


Ready for the Mountains.
Yesterday the season of 1908 op
ened for the killing of deer in this
state, and many sportsmen are maxi
ing ready to take to the mountains
after the elusive buck, says the Eu-
gene Guard. A number Of parties
are already in the hills and doubtless
there are many out with their 30-SOs
today.
1t is highly probable, however that
there Will not be a great number Of
the old hunters out for some time
yet.
For the last two years conditions
have been exceedingly favorable for
the breeding OF deer; the water holes
are numerous, and the ranges COW
cred with thick brush, making the ac-
cess TO deer haunts quite difficult;
the large number of watering and
feeding places scattered the attention
Of the hutsmen. affording added pro-
lection to the deer.
Yet rangers and trout fishermen
returning from the higher reaches
and ranges Of the surrounding coun-
try have not reported the number Of
deer signs as numerous as was TO be
expected in the existing circumstan-
ces, and sportsmen are at a loss to
explain the apparent absence OF the
game.
Some attribute the scarceness of
the deer to the recent wave Of hot
weather saying that the deer have re-
treated to the cooler Businesses Of the
mountains, where the water is still
more plentiful and forage better.
Certain II is that a tramp in the
right direction and an observance of
proper precautions should take the
gunner TO productive territory; and
several parties at least have faith to
believe that a well-planned excursion
TO the well-known deer haunts will
bring the desired reward.
A number of the more experienced
hunters win delay their operations
until the weather is more inviting.
and rest on the assertion that the
damage done by the early season
hunter win not materially affect the
game field.

REVIEW OF WOOL MARKET ANO PRICES

wool dealers cannot see their way
clear to operate In the growing sec
tions at the asking prices Of the grow
ers, and there is more or less of a
deadlock on account of this price diff
ference. Manufacturers who use these
woods are not particularly anxious
over their future supply, as business
requiring large quantities Of fleece
woods is not yet booked in quantity
great enough to cause uneasiness.
Territories.
There are some interesting features
to the market in territory woods,
principally the sale of over 1000, 900
pounds Of old Montana clothing at
about 16 cents, taking all that was
held in joint account by two large
houses. This wool at 16 cents will
cost 46c@47c clean. New Montana
wools are also interesting. Prices
started at Is cents and are now up to
17c@17kc TO cost 52cG55c clean.

HER CREDIT WAS GOOD.

The urbsne and entirely respectful London draper would probably stand aghast at the audacious independence of the highland Scot. Even royalty fails to exact obsequious homage from him.
 Princess Louise had long been accus- toned to the ingenious sayings and doings of the simple minded people in the highlands, says Arthur H. Beaven In Popular Royalty" During the queens residence in the neighborhood of Callender. the princess had occasion to drive into the town to match some velvet. At the principal draper's she procured what she wanted. but discov- cred that she had left her purse at home. She explained this to the pro- prietor of the shop. adding that she would send the money the next day, but the imperturbable tradesman re- piled with the utmost gravity, "Dinna fash yersel, mem, yer mither has an account here!"

PHARAOH HAD TROUBLES.
Possible That Toothache and Gout
 Soured Sweet Temper.

To German science belongs the cred it of explaining what hitherto has been the inexplicable secret of the inconsist- ent conduct of Pharaoh--the Pharaoh of Exodus. According to the scriptural phrase, "the Lord (Pharaoh) hardened his heart" and then proceeded to in dulge in conduct which was not mere ly inconsistent with his previous treat ment of the Jews. but was surprising to a degree in great monarch such as this king of the Egyptians undoubt- edly must have been.
 Despite the recent suggestion that Site II was the Pharaoh of the Exodus, the preponderance of archaeological opinion is that Prof Flinders-Petrie sufficiently proved that 1t was Meneph- tah II whom Moses had 10 deal with. Now the mumified remains of Mene- phtah II repose in Cairo, and there they have been minutely examined by a German savant. who is able to state, as result of his studies( that Mem ephtah II was about 60 years old when he died. in l2l5 B. C.. that he was Ave feet 8 l-2 inches in stature, and that he was rather stout of build and bald save for very few gray hairs
 Moreover, according to our German friend. Menephtah's teeth were full of cavities in which the exposed nerves must have throbbed in such fashion as would throw their owner into fits of violent temper. As Shakespeare said long afterward, There was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently" ,Menephtahs blood vessels and ribs, furthermore show unmistakable evidence of chalky degeneration-an unduobted sign Of acute gout

HE DOES NEEDLEWoRK.

A horny-handed man who spends large part of his time in the high temperatured confines of the stereo- typing department of daily newspa- per would hardly be expected to be an adept at fancy needlework, but Joe Gordon. an employe of the Journal. is a versatile genius of this very type. Gordon's latest creation is the cover of sofa pillow, upon which he has de- signed in raised figure, the pictures of a Teddy bear. The design is con- structed of Teddy bear yarn and is made by the skillful operation of a tufting needle. Thousands of feet of yarn were used in order to properly raise the figure above the base. which is of very fine velvet, and inc actual time in whie.i Gordon was employed was twelve hours.-Kansas City Jour

SHELTER FOR BIRD AND BEAST.
A Robins Protection From Cold
 Squirrers Comforter and Blanket.

Squirrels Comforter anu biahkct'
 The natural heat of a mans blood is 9s.4. That of bird averages about 107. which is the temperature of the domestic fowl
 For this reason many people sup pose that birds do not suffer. from the cold of winter, being also protected by their thick coat of feathers But they do. Birds and all the woodland folk feel cold, and hard frost caus- es severe suffering.
 Birds are quite clever about seek ing shelter from the bite of frosty night. Run bat fowling net across the side of a l,ayrick. You will be amazed at the extraordinary number and variety of small birds which come fluttering out as soon as the lantern light strikes upon the rick side.
 Sparrows huddle together In tightly hacked masses. With them it is any port in a storm or a frost, and seven were once found, all in feathery heap, dead in a hole in the brick work behind greenhouse furnace. In some way fumes had leaked through the interstices of the masonry from | the chimney behind and suffocated | the whole lot.
 Thick ivy is favorite roasting 1 place in cold weather. Of course there are always plenty of birds who spend | the night in ivy, but in heavy frost | the number doubles or trebles.
 The winter of 1S91-95 was our last really severe one. In February, 1895. a Herefordshire farmer. visiting his outhouses one night when the mer- cury lay somewhere below the 70 mark. found a number of small birds | chaffinches and sparrows, he thinks i roasting in the COW shed. some actual | ly snuggled down ia the straw close beside the big warm animals.
 Any South Downs shepherd can tell you that chaffinches and greenfinches will spend cold nights nestling in the wool of the penned sheep. This is rather a dangerous proceeding for i the poor little chaps, for very often i they get their claws tangled in the wool and when morning arrives are unable to fly. If no one comes to their help they starve to death.
 Blaekbirds take refuge in low, close growing evergreen and even occa- sionally in holes in the ground. They have been found sheltering in rabbit burrows in very severe weather. The risk from weasels pr stoats must bt considerable.
 What was perhaps the oddest arti- ice ever noticed on the part of bird in search of warmth was practiced bl a robin A gentleman shooting in 2 Warwickshire covert on very cold day had just killed a rabbit and wa walking to pick it up when he saw Z robin fly down from tree and set it tie upon the dead animal crouchinI

 Afterward. when a number of rab- bits were shot and laid under hedge, tho robin remained among them all the time the sportsman was eating his lunch.
 Squirrels put on a thicker coat in winter. This is duller in color than the summer garb Their tails also in- crease vastly in business. This means lot in the way of warmth, for a squirrels tail is not only his rudder but his comforter and blanket also
