Beet Crop Looks Good.

Beet thinning for this year has been
completed, says the La Grande OBJ
server Field Manager Sebbelov, by
experimenting with white labor and
taking more stringent methods with
the Japanese employees, has rushed
this yearly tack with better results
than heretofore. The 1900 acres Of
beets cultivated by the Amalgamated
Sugar company is now on the second
lap of its growth. Thinning is always
a cumbersome duty at the best but by
systematizing matters this year a lit
tie fore with Jap contractors, the
work has been done better and more
quickly. Stringent contracts backed
by heavy bonds have insured good
results from the Japanese.
The beet crop, especially about La
Grande, is looking fine, and the com,
pany looks for a duplication of last
years crop. The cold weather re-
tarded rapid growth slightly, but since
the thermometer has shot up. the
sugar beets have done likewise. There
is every reason to believe that the
beet crop will exceed all records Of the
past the same as the cherry crop
gives evidence of doing.

Statues for Baker Church,

There has been received by the
cathedral from the makers in Europe
two of the most magnificent pieces OF
statuary that has come into this coun-
try for a long time, says the Baker
City Democrat. One is the statue
of the Blessed Virgin and her child;
the face of this piece of work is GER
tainly one of the most beautiful in ex-
preston that could be turned out in
the inanimate; the child held in her
arms, holds a little globe surmounted
with cross in its hand. The other
statue represents ST. Joseph, these
two pieces have been erected, the one
in st. Joseph's altar and the other in
the altar of the Blessed Virgin. It is
interesting to know that although they
have come the great distance lying
between this city and Europe there
was not a crack or break of any kind
save the little wand held by the Bles-
sed Virgin, this was broken, but can
be easily repaired.

that section for several years. Will

have lost sheep by an animal for some
time but they were not satisfied in
their minds as to the animal. Two
years ago Mrs. Nellie Woodall had a
few head of pet lambs. Each day
one of these pets would come up
missing. Since that time different
people in that section have heard or
seen this wandering animal. Mrs.
Woodall says she has heard the
screams of the lonely animal, but dio
not know where the noise was COM

what this mysterious creature is Moth

BRING BACK RUNAWAY UTEs.
Government VIII Return Maraudin.
Band to Utah.

Arrangements have been practically
completed by the war and Indian de-
partments to send the runaway Ute
Indians back to their reservation in
Utah, says an Omaha dispatch. This
is the bunch of Indians that made
the sensational tramp across the
country from their reservation into
Wyoming and the Powder river coun-
| try a year or more ago.
The party. several hundred in num-
Der, was headed off on Powder river
by the Tenth and Sixth United States
cavalry and were taken to Fort
Meade and kept on the military res
ervation for the remainder of the
winter and then moved up to the
Cheyenne river agency of the Chey-
ennes at Thunder Buttes, S. D.
Here they threatened to break away
on a raiding expedition because of
the lack of supplies and for the fur
ther reason that they were required
to send their papooses to school at
the Indian school at the Cheyenne
agency, Some so or more miles east
OF Thunder Buttes.
The Second United States cavalry
was sent to the agency and Thunder
Buttes to hold the Indians in check.
Matters were finally compromised and
the children were sent to school and
a large number of the Indian men
were given employment at railroad
work at Rapid City. The greater por-
ton of the troops were sent back to
Fort Des Moines.
One company remained at Thunder
Buttes to watch the remainder of the
Indians left there in camp. A part of
this company will escort the Indians
back to their reservation in Utah.
The trip will be made by marching
and will occupy two or three weeks.
