Robbers Got But Little.

Sheriff Edwards returned from
Toppenish last night, where he had
gone to apprehend the postoffice safe
robbers, If possible, and states that
there is apparently no trace of the
men who committed the burglary,
says the Lakima Republic.
"They blew the outside door of the
safe clear across the room" said he
today, "the force shattering the door
of the room. The combination of the
lock of the inner safe door had also
be en- blown, but the door itself was
not blown off. They took only $40
in coin and a gold bracelet valued at
$50, which was the property of Miss
Mamie Stone, a daughter of Mrs.
Mrs. George swasey, and which was
in a registered package. Although
there were several other registered
packages, several dollars worth of
stamps, and a lot of pennies around
in the drawers, none of these were
touched.

bitches Kill Fish.

More fish are probably destroyed
in irrigating bitches than are caught
by hook and line, says the Baker
City Democrat. This is the opinion
Of fishermen who have investigated
the subject and given 1t intelligent
thought.
In Baker county instances are cited
where water has been shut off from
a ditch and thousands Of trout have
been left high and dry to rot on top
of the ground. The larger the ditch
the greater has been the slaughter.
Moreover, If the ditches are never
allowed to go dry, fish that once
enter them from the river never get
back again. There is a law requiring
the heads Of irrigation ditches to be
covered with a screen, and this law
should be enforced. II It is enforced
then the stocking OF our inland
streams with fish will be doubly ef-
fective.

Convention of Peg-legs.

After peg-legging briskly from Do,
yer, President Rosin, of the Union Of
French Mendicants, established some
time ago, in Marsellles, arrived In
London oday to arrange for a con-
vention Of one-legged men at the
French-Brittlsh exposition, says a
London dispatch. If well received by
the British one-legged men, he in
tends to bring a strong delegation OF
his crippled countrymen. "I don't
want any humbugs," he said upon
his arrival in Dover, "but genuine,
Woodworking, honest British pedlars
or itinerant musicions with only one
leg apiece. Think what a fine pic
turesque thing It would be to have a
parade Of French and English one
legged men,"

Farmer Killed by His Team.

A most distressing accident occur
red near town Tuesday evening when
George Boydstun lost his life, says
the Lake County Examiner.
It seems he was haying, and in
some way lost control of his team,
which started to run, and threw him
between them and the wagon, and
one of the horses kicked him in the
head. He was taksn to his home,
and given medical attention, but he
only survived few houds.
A singular coincidence is noted in
the fact that about two years since
he had a brother killed in a similar
manner at Paisley. Both men, it
seems were good horsemen, but had
frequent runaways before meeting
with their fatal accidents

CORN KING NOW MINER.
G. II. Phillips of Chicago Visits Baker
City Properties.


Baker City, Aug. 1S.-"I have quit
the board of trade forever" says
George H. Phillips, at one time known
throughout the world as the corr
king, who cornered the Chicago mar
ket and forced millionaires to their
knees, Mr.. Phillips has just returned
from his mine in the Granite dis
trict.
II believe" said Mr., Phillips, "that
the opportunity is greater in mining
than in anything else today for a man
to make honest money. 1t is my in
tention to enter the Oregon mining
field to stay.
with me have associated men OF
wealth who want to make more, and
We will mine in the ground and not
on paper. No fancy prospectus goes.
We are going to contest with nature
for the hidden wealth and have no
stock for sale. If we win we will be
pleased, and if we lose we have spent
no ones money but our own.
1T occure to me that the loss in
mining is no greater when compared
with any other business If operators
would only put the money they re-
ceived into actual development"
Mr.. Phillips and party have inter-
ests at Shoshone, Idaho, and also at
Goldfield. They consider their mines
in Baker county good investments.

Like a romance OF feudal barons
who marked the boundaries Of the

channels, is the story OF the land and
cattle barons OF Central Oregon, who
have fenced up for their private use
whole townships in the range districts
Of the state.
Equity suits to enjoin the mainten-
ance of fences, and criminal suits to
prosecute the men responsible for
the unlawful enclosure OF 112,S40
acres of government land in oregon,
were filed in the United States court
Saturday by United States Attorney

the principal defendant is the Will
liam Hanley company, which, it is al
legged has inclosed improperly S2,54O
acres OF vacant public land and 1880
acres OF school land, all in Harvey
county.
1t is charged that the fences COM
planned of have been maintained by
theaccused corporation to the exclu-
sion of all other stockmen for about
~ years. Harry L Corbett is secre-
tary OF the corporation, while William
Hanley is president and general man.

inally.
Practically three sides of the alleg-
ed unlawful inclosure are inclosed by
rim-rock as a natural barrier, which
served TO keep the herds corralled.
Where there were any openings
around the tract, which is about 80
miles in length and range from four
to ~ miles in width, the company
purchased a series of tracts of 40
acres each, on which it constructed
fences. completing the inclosure.
The other largest individual tres
passer, against which proceedings
have been instituted, is the Pacific
Livestock company 1t is charged
with having maintained a fence in
closing $4,000 acres OF land in NAL
heur county. 1t is alleged that the
land has been inclosed for Is years.

UMATILLA LEADS FOR HEAT.
Past Week Showed High Tempera-
lures In All Oregon.

The mean temperatures for the
week were slightly above normal in
the western portion OF the state, while
in the eastern counties they were con-
siderably above the normal. The
afternoon temperatures were upnusu-
ally high over the entire state, as were
also the night temperatures in the
eastern portion, but in the western
counties the nights were rather cool.
The high averages of temperature
were due to uniformly warm weather,
there being no extremely high temper
atures reported except in Umatilla
county, where the afternoon temper
atures ranged from 100 degrees to
104 degrees on the 4th, 9th and Sth.
II. the western counties, except near
the coast, the maximum temperatures
or those days ranged between 81 de-
grees and S2 degrees.
The week closed with cooler wealth
er in the western counties. There was
very little wind during the week, and
its prevailing direction was from the
west and northwest. No rain fell dur
ing the week over the entire state, ex-
cept very light sprinkles in Baker
county on the 5th and the period with
out rain has now lasted 25 days in
most counties and in some localities
much longer.
The continued dry weather has
caused the forest fires to increase, and
more or less smoky conditions are re-
ported from nearly all sections of the
state. the smokiness being quite pro-
nounced in Hood River and Wasco
counties.

Washington. March 1-President
Roosevelt has directed Herbert Knox
Smith of the bureau of corporations to
investigate the methods of stock trad
ing with a view to furnishing the basis
of possible future legislation regulat-
ing such practices.
The difficulty is recognized of at
tempting federal regulation of the
transfer of stocks which will operate
to curtail purely gambling contracts
and at the same time work no hind
rance to legitimate transfers, and it is
announced to be for the purpose of
proceeding on sound principles that the
investigation is being made President
Roosevelt has declared himself to be de-
cidedly in favor of eliminating stock
gambling.

to the Upper House
In Connection With Report on
the Brownsville Affair.

washington. March lin con-
nection with the report of the senate
committee on military affairs on the
Brownsville riot. which was made to
the senate today the president trans
mitted a message IN which he said
that the facts set forth in his order
disnissing the negro soldiers had
been substantiated by the testimony
before the committee. He recon-
mended in his message that the time
for the reinstatement of the discharg-
ed soldiers which has expired, be ex-
tended for a year In order to permit
the president to reipstate any of the
discharged men who did not fall
within the terms of his dismissal.
Senator Warren presented the re-
port of the committee on behalf of
the majority and Senator Foraker
the views of the minority.
The following is the text of the
presidents message:
"To the Senate:
"On December IL, 1906, the secre-
tary of war by my direction issued the
following order:
Applications to enlist from former
members of companies B, c and D,
Twenty-ffth infantry, who were dis
charged under the provisions of spec

cant may desire to submit to show
that he was neither implicated in the
raid on Brownsville Tex, on the
night of August AZ. 1906, nor with
held any evidence Gsz1at might lead to
the discovery of ttne perpetrators
thereof.
Proceedings were begun under this
order; but shortly thereafter an in
, veStigation was directed by the SEN
ate and the proceedings under the or
der were stopped. The senate COM
| mittee entrusted with the work has
now completed the investigation and
finds that the facts under which my
order of discharge of November 9.
1906 was based are substantiated by
the evidence. The testimony secured
by the committee is therefore now
available and I desire to revive the
order of December IL, 1905, and to
have 1t carried out in whatever shape
may be necessary to achieve the pur-
pose therein set forth, any additional
evidence being taken which may be of
aid in the ascertafnment of the TRUTH

possible to reinState any Individual,
in accordance with this order, has ex-
pired I therefore recommend the
passage of a law extending this time
| limit so far as the passage of the law
and permitting the reinstatement by
direction of the president of any man
who in his judgment shall appear not
to be within the class whose dis
charge was deemed necessary in Or
der to maintain the discipline and
moral of the army.
