SHEARlNG PLANTS WILL
START SEASON MAY FIRST

The sheep shearing season in this
county Will open June l, that being
the date set for starting up of the
plants, Martins, Makin's and Bau'
dan $.
Reports from the iambing camps
are of favorable nature; and there
has been a good increase, probably
better than the average year.
Owing to the great activity Ct the
wool buyers in this state, all sales
days will probably be declared Off,
according to Secretary Dan P. Smythe
OF ,ne state wool growers association
Shaniko may have one sales day but
all others will likely be abandoned.
The growers around Pendleton and
Pilot Rock are getting 20 to 21 cents
for their wool says the East Oregon

at Echo will not handle over 125,OOo
pounds.

Five Candidates
For County Queen
Two More Entries Made-vote Will
Be Announced Each
Week.

There are now five candidates for
Wallowa County Queen at the Port
land Rose Festival Miss Agnes
Leslie Of Joseph, Miss Maymie John
ston of Lostine, Misses Joyce Craig,
Edna Browning and Eula Forsythe.
Each of the foregoing ladies has
strong following of friends. not
only in her home town but in other
parts of the valley, and as this is
purely county affair, in which town
rivalry must for once take a back
seat, each lady will receive numer-
Gus votes outside of her residence
town.
The committee states the votes will
be counted once a week and an
nouncement of the standing made
through the newspapers. This will
be done this week, but too late for
today's paper.

Tells OF Survey
Down Snake River
Member Of Crew Describes Route
OF Railway Extension from
Huntington.

The following de icription of the
surveying of the Snake river rail-
road line. from the Lewiston Tribune,
ne first that has been published,
will be of int est to many people
in this county:
Charles Kress, Jr., who was with
one of the engineering crews that
made the survey for the Huntington
road down the Snake river, yesterday
gave a Tribune reporter interesting
information relative to the line. Kress
worked with Engineer Stacy's crew
on that section of the line extend
ing from Home stead to Pittsburg
landing, through what is known as
he Walled canyon section OF river,
Homestead Is the point of location of
the mines to which the present sec
ton Of the road is being built and
which section Is rapidly nearing COM
p,etlon.
'The preliminary survey and loca-
lion survey for the entire road from
huntington to this point were made
It the same time. The section to
Homes cad was handled Ly Engineer
'Iorris, that from Homestead to Pitts.
burg landing by Engineer Stacy and
aside from a small section this side
of Pittsburg the remainder of the
work was handled by Engineer Nc
Donough. AS Mr. Kress did not work
with the McDonough crew, he has
,5lt he understood the location survey
was completed by McDonough to
Asotin or Charleston. He states that
all the work done was OF the most
thorough character and that the line
Is now ready for cross-section work
long the entire distance SO soon as
the company might decide TO place
construction forces on the section
below Homestead,
"The surrey for the line was made
during the season of 1906 andl907,
four parties being In the field for
fifteen months. The work along the
canyons was very hazardous and the
crew with which Mr.. Kress was en-
gagged lost one man. At points It
was necessary to lower men over the
cliffs with ropes to make 1t possible
ito do the instrument worl. necessary,
trhe road Is located about fifteen fest
above extreme high witer mark.
Between Homestead and Pittsburg
landing the drop IN the river Is olly
about fourteen feet to the mile, and
ian ideal grade has been secured for
The road the entire distance. Between
those two points there are six tun-
nels, ranging in length from 500 to
1900 feet. Practically all the dis
fance the road WIN have to be blasted
out OF solid rock, and the engineers
estimate that some Of the work
would cost 100000 mile, while the
average for the entire line would
equal at least 100000. Mr. Kress
states that his information Is that
the length of the line from Hunting
ton to this point is about 200 miles,
SO the cost would be approximately
81 100000.
"Mr. Kress stated. that 1t was the
view of all the engineers that the
Homestead section would never have
been started except for the fact thai
the decision had been reached to
build the entire line, and the char
acter of the work done, in rushing
the location survey, later sustained
shis view.

PRINCE COMES IN sTEERAaA.
After Funds to Start University on
Site of SOlomOn's Temple.

After Funds to Start University on
Site of SOIOmOn's Temple.
When the Nord Amerika, from Ma.
pies, arrived Tuesday one of the steer
age passengers, a short, slender-buit
man, swarthy In complexion, who an
nounced that he was Prince Emmanuel
OF Jerusalem, informed the ship news
reporter that he had come to the Unit
ed States to raise funds with which
to build universal university on the
site Of King Solomon's temple in the
holy city, says the New York Herald.
If his plan is carried out, he declared,
any one may obtain university edu-
cation by correspondence at a small
outlay.
Prince Emmanuel said that his title
was bequeathed to him by his father,
now, according to his story, a reigning
sovereign In Europe. He wore a uni
form of black, with silver braid and
buttons. His cap was short in the peak
and high in the crown, his coat hung
below his knees, he wore boots Of the
Cossack variety and his sharp-pointed
beard was wavy and dark. He said he
had come to America on the invitation
Of DR.. Preston Conner of Philadelphia
William Mckinley of Washington, pres
ident Of the National Correspondence
Institute and Prof. Howler of Alexan-
dria, Va, who, he says, are interested
in the scheme for the universal uni
verslty.
After telling several different stories
as to how he came to have the title
~ prince, the young man told report
er that he is son of the Sultan of
Turkey, and that his mother, an Ara
bian Jewess, had given him to Robert
Goldreich, Jewish rabbi Of Noting
ham, England, and that he was brought
up as a member of the Goldreich fam
ily. He is registered at the British
consulate in Jerusalem, he said, as l. Il

Manneisley, after the manor 1t stood M
ON. He established crest and coat-ot.
arms he had his cards engraced, "Mr.
and Mrs. Pearman, Mannersley :" he sat
himself down TO wait-but nobody called.
Money will do and does do a good deal.
but here and there blood respects its
rights. The county were not going. to
welcome what they designated as "a
money-grabbing attorney who was fatten-
ing on the necessities of Harold Deni-
son of Glinn." The Master of the
Hounds, 1t was true, called upon him:
but even Pearman could regard that in
no other light but that of a business
transaction. He asked and obtained leave
to draw the covers, gave the solicitor a
capital luncheon on his return visit. but
had steadily refused all invitations to
dinner.
In due course of time Mrs. Pearman
died. She left but one son, who at the
period Of her death was an undergradu-
ate at Cambridge, but who, now many
years older, is the gentleman who danced
that quadrile withshandsome Maude Deni-
son.
Young Pearman has succeeded far bet
ter than his progenitor in making his
way in the county. Still, although he
had insinuated himself to certain ex-
tent into society, there were many of the
county families who utterly ignored the
solicitors son. The men of the family
might know him in the hunting field; the
younger sons might even go so far as to
drop in at Mannersley for lunch, when
the hounds or aught else took them that
way. But the women tabooed him-they
would none of him; and bitterly did Sam
Pearman feel that naughty ostracism. All
men have their ambitions; Pearman had
his fathers intensified, to be acknowledg-
ed as within the pale of ''the upper ten. u
He quite understood that the recognition
of the race course and hunting field was
far from constituting such.
