Snake River Line
Contract Let Soon
Charleston Republic Gives Date July
Tenth-CoaI Prospect At
Plttsburg.

We have a railroad rumor from
"a reliable source, all our own says
the Charleston Republic. 1t is that
high official of the Hartman lines
said in private conversation, but a
few days ago, that in all probability
the Utah Construction company
would be given the contract for grad
ing the Huntington line about July 10
and that work will commence in
Charleston at this end of the line
about July Is,
Coal at Pittsburg Landing.
The same paper gives the following G
item: The Electrolytic Copper
company held its annual election at
its office in Charleston Thursday,
when the old officers were all re-
elected. The company has a fine
property UP the Snake River. w,
Campbell of Spokane and A. l.. Ober
of Chatfield, Minn., were among those
in attendance. These gentlemen are
also looking up what they think Is a
promising coal prospect in the vicinity
of Pittsburg Landing. They report
that it is generally thought that the
o, S, line will lush the Huntington
line down the river to Charleston as
fast as possible.

HEAVY CLIP AND
FINEST QUALITY
REPORTS OF SHEARlNG PLANTS
CONFIRM EARLY ESTIMATES
SEASON ABOUT OVER.

The total wool clip of the county
comes up to the highest preshear-
ing estimates. At the three princi-
pal plants 1886 fleeces were clip
ed and the weight Is close to 10
pounds per fleece. In addition many
thousands were sheared by hand.
The Ltch plant IA miles north
east of Enterprise finished July
2, having been in operation
21h days, during which 47,OOO
sheep passed through the hands of
The she@rers. The size of the force
varied from Is to 27, with an average
of about 20. The largest single days
run was 5000. Mr.. Litch says the
quality of the wool was fine. and
E. A. Rumble who received the wool
for the buyers says, it is A No.
staple.
At the E. o. Maxim plant, eight
miles east of Enterprise, the 3O1a
days run was finished July Z, when
the total Of sheep sheared reached
$4,000. Fifteen shearers we're en-
ployed and the best days was 22S7.
Mr.. Maxim says the fleeces were
heavier than usual while the quail
ty was never better. Mr.. Maxim had
5000 yearlings that averaged over
10 pounds, and he thinks the general
average was close to that figure.
The Peter Baudan plant on upper
Prairie Creek will complete its run
next Tuesday or Wednesday, with
1886 as the total. 1t started June
IL and was closed four or five days
on account Of wet weather. The
shearers have averaged 21 in number
and the average number of sheep
per day was 1850. The wool is Of
extra fine quality, c. L. Hartshon
had 1000 yearlings that sheared 1874
pounds. and were sold for $3.50 a
head.

PIONEER OF THE SIXTIES

From the La Grande Star
Ben Boswell of Enterprise left We'd
nesday morning on the Joseph train
fo- his home. Mr.. Boswell visited his
daughter, Mrs. ]. H. DOty of Pendle-
ton, the latter part Of the week, TAX
ing in the celebration at Pendleton.
He came to La Grande last Sunday.
He reports that in his opinion the
celebration here was much superior
to that given In Pendleton. He was
enthusiastic in his praises OF the
parade, and all other features of the
celebration that La Crande offered to
the public.
Mr.. Boswell is quite well known
in this locality, having come here In
'62, when La Grande consisted OF one
house. He located at the Cove.

Rose case.
While the officials of the local
land office have been deciding these
cases according to the law as they
have interpreted it, says the Star,
they have been waiting the action
of the department anticipating posi-
BILE reversal on appeal. But the
agreeable news has been received
that in the case of ex parte David c..
Bowman, taken before the interior
department for review, the secretary
of the interior has rendered de-
cision which sustains the opinion
handed down in these cases by the
local office.

where he assisted in constructing a
large number of the buildings. In
70 he went into the newly opened
Wallowa valley, where he has lived
ever since, one of Wallowa's most
honored citizens. He is at present
engaged in farming.
MIR. Boswell verifies the statement
mat Enterprise, as we'll as all the
Wallowa valley, is having thrifty,
substantial growth. There is moth
ing of the boom spirit prevalent, the
spirit that usually results in poorly
Duilt houses and badly arranged
slree.s, but the towns are advancing
in a business-like, steady manner.

SQUAT TER RIGHT
UPHELD BY c. L,0.
LA GRANDE OFFICE TIMBER AND
STONE ENTRY DECISION is
SUSTAINED.

The celebrated land case of F. M.
Newton VS.. G. M. Burkett, involving
fine timber claim in 4n-41, has
again been decided in favor of the
squatter, Newton, and against Burketi
the timber and stone entryman.
Register F. C. Bramwell's decision
in favor of Newton has been affirmed
by the general land office.
This case was tried at the La
Grande land office last December,
two weeks being consumed In hearing
the testimony. Attorney D. w. Shea
han of Enterprise conducted the case
for Newton and won a big victory
for his client. Register Bramwell
wrote the decision and cancelled
Burketts timber and stone entry on
the grounds that the land was oc-
cupied and showed the improvements
of bona fide settler, Mr.. Newton.
The case was appealed to the gen
eral land office and Bramwell's de-
cision was affirmed.
Burkeut has yet the right Of ap-
peal to the secretary of the interior
If this authority affirms the previous
decisions Burkett's only recourse will
be to take the case into the courts.
The La Grande Star says it is rumor-
ed that Burkett is determined to
carry the fight to the supreme court
of the United States or win the
claim. The tract of land Is estimat-
ed to contain 100000 feet of timber.
Entryman Wins Another.
Another important decision by the
general land office is in case SINH
lar to that of the United States VS.,
Rose, in which the contention of the
government, that after Rose had shown
the land in his claim TO be chiefly
valuable for grazing, he must also
show that he had used 1t for grazing
in compliance with a departmental
regulation, was not sustained Since
that date in the neighborhood of 25
cases involving the same point have
been decided by Register Bramwell
and Receiver Eberhard adhering to
the principle followed out in the

Cloud Burst Ten
Miles East OF City
Heavy OoWnpour Does Damage Over
Small Area-Temporary
Warehouse Struck.

The severest thunder and rain
storm that has visited this section in
years ragged with great fury from
about $3.50 to Ais o'clock Thursday
afternoon. An unusually heavy rain
fell accompanied by some hail. There
was a veritable cloud burst about 10
miles east of town, and the water
poured down the o. X. gulch and
flooded the bitches and low lying
land out by e. o. Makins. The
Maxim place seemed to be the
center of the damage area
and there fences were washed out
and grain beaten down until the
damage is estimated by Mr.. Maxim
at $500 and it will take 10 days to
straighten things up.
A lightning bolt struck the south
east corner of the roof of the tempor-
ary warehouse in Enterprise but
did no damage except to knock off a
few feet of boards. f. C. Batchel-
der b. A. Reynolds and Stewart
/ awson were in the building at the
time and felt the shock but were un-
harmed.
The storm passed from east to
west over a comparatively narrow
