thousand horses are to be corall- ed and several hundred colts branded during the roundup now in progress in the Kittitas val ley. southwest of Spokane. Bill" Taylor, frontiersman and veter- an ranger, who has been in the saddle more than 37 years in this part Of the country, has mar shalled the best riders i'll the dis trict and it is expected to com plete the work before the end of June. Horsemen say there are 50 or more outlaws in the band and of these two stalliOnS stand out as being fleet and untamable. One Of the animals broke out of a corrall nine years ago after be- ing branded, while the other has never been roped They have caused numerous stampedes and are not afraid of any horseman on the range The range horses are of better quality than in years, and there are fewer cay uses. Many of the animals cut out in the roundup fetch high prices after being broken to sad de or harness. Taylor declares that in a few years the last
 band of wild horses in Washing ton will be rounded up and branded and the rangers given over to a more profitable branch of the agricultural industry

Politics 0f
 the Week
Something of What is to Be Done by Men Who Guide
 the Ship of State.

Littl Rock. May 22.-The ,'ast week W $ a most active period in politics in Little Rock from the fact that nearly every pro- minent politician in the state was here Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and many others were here throughout the entire week. The failure of the legislature to meet on Monday was of course the principal feature of the po- litical week, and the victory ob- tained by Acting Governor Pin dall settles him more safely in the saddle until the middle of January.
 The fact that none of the coun- ty central committees of the counties composing the Seventh Congressional District have as yet obeyed the order of the chairman of the State Central Committee to forward complete returns on the race between the Hon. William s. Goodwin and the Hon. Minor R. Wallace leaves this matter still in material doubt and it is feared that the Central Committee will not have suffi- cient time to go into the case as deeply as it may desire and that the Convention which meets here June ? will be called upon to settle the matter.
 The notice of contest has been duly filed by Senator Goodwin, the matter will now of necessity V be investigated thoroughly 2. The announcement that the Hon. c. E. Bush. senator in the last legislature, and hold-over in the Thirty-Seventh General Assembly, that he is a candida te for president of the Senate which will convene in January. 1909

Washington, D. C., May 21.- 1t is probable now that the final adjournment of Congress will take place either on saturday, May 23, or on Monday, May 20. It is the opinion of the leaders of both branches the actual work outlined can be finished in time for adjournment on Saturday
 The determination to adjourn early will leave much impor- tant Legislation unacted upon The bills, of course, are not dead, but merely will be carried ov- or until next session.

Ped River
 Levee Breaks
And Causes Great Destruc- ton of Crops in the Vi-
 cinity of Garland City

the Spirit lake levee caved into the river and the waters came rushing through. At last report the crevice was 15O yards wide It Is probable that within the neighborhood of 10000 acres of land will be overflowed by req sOE of she break and the crops ruined. Those who have had their planted in potatoes have been working hard for the last few days gathering their crop,y for fear that the levee might break.
 It is thought that this overflow means the destruction of Spirit Lake. This is an exceptionally beautiful body of water andwas a favorite haunt for fishermen not only from Texarkana, but from all of southwest Arkansas for years. The ends of the lake are so close to the river that the cav ing of the bank will let all the water out of the lake when the flood passes on down the stream.

The VdlCdIdd will
Not be Leased

w. p. O'Meara, secretary of the
Silver Peak Valcalda, has returned to
Nevada from Los Angeles and Salt
Lake with a complete plan of cam
paign that gives the lie to all rumors
that the Valcalda mill is about to BE
leased. On the contrary, the mill is
going to be worked to the utmost ca
pacity of its ten stamps, while the
work Of installing thirty additional
stamps is progressing. r. H.. Britt
has been made general superintend-
ent Of the property and has ordered
the employment Of two shifts. Mr..
Britt was formerly with the Nevada
Western, at Yerington, and is said TO
be one of the most competent men in
the state for the position to which he
has been appointed.
His first operations will be to drive
the tunnel in two directions to open
up I reserves along the ledge that
is already exposed. By the first OF
the year it is expected that every.
thin Z will be in shape to insure a
steady run for the mill, which will
be increased to forty stamps, with a
capacity of geo tons per day in sixty
or ninety days unless the weather
and other conditions should prove
u~nfavorable. The Valcalda has be

Elk'S MINSTREL
was a Hummer

"
The Goldfeld Elks ministries ar
rived in Tonopah yesterday 100
strong and last night at the Eagles
pavilion presented one of the best
shows seen here for some time. There
is a chance that Goldfeld fails to APP
preciate home talent, but it is far
different in Tonopah, and every act
and stunt or the entire program met
with applause and plaudits that fair
ly shook the building.
The stage was a bower of electric
lights in the colors of the order, blue
and white, and the background reD-
resented a huge dial of a clock with
the hands pointing to II o'clock, the
hour in which the absent brothers
are honored. Milton M. Detch acted
as interlocutor, while the bones AMI
tambos were Ole Elliot, Dick Col
burn, Ed Hogan, Jack hartman,
Tom Hurley, Pat Carney, Walter
Stone and Art Slaght. All took their
part to perfection and the jokes
sprung we're good. There we're many
hits on the Tonopah Elks and each
was we'll applauded. The song,
"You'se Done Broke Down" by Jack
Merriman, was rendered in a tone
that would make a real black face
comedian turn white with envy. DR..
Ducey presented by the Old Oaken
Bucket, Louise in a that
proved surprising.
Ed Hogan had a comical song,
eff They Only Let Poor Adams Rib
Alone" The songs of w. e. Blair,
Walter Stone and w. Walker were
all encored several times. Ole Elliot
made the hit of the evening when he
sang when Highland Mary Did the

something on the plan Of a Scottish
maiden who was raised south of Mar

Spider Welsh. His stunt brought

his regrets, explaining that his abbre-
waited attire was somewhat chilly
Tom Hurley sang Don't Take NJ
