Grouse Got Four
Mails One Month
Ice In Grande Ronde Stops Carrier
Chances to Buy Cheap
Land.

Grouse, Jan. 25.-The mail arrived
the 10Th and again the 23d inst.
There have been four arrivals since
December "a, the failures caused by
Mr.. Bell, the mail carrier, on his
return to Flora Tuesday, the 10Th
inst, was compelled to remain on
the west side of the river until
Thursday, the 21st. The ice was so
dense in the river that the ferryman
thought 1t unsafe to attempt to
cross. 1t is hoped that the arrivals
will be made more regularly until
the high water in the spring which
no doubt will cause many failures
as the ferry at Troy is considered
unsafe at any time during the spring
thaw.
Gus Smith was in from Asotin last
week buying beef cattle. He bought
So head from E. Richman and w. A.
Hack, all in fine condition.
w. H. Ladd is feeding 1926 head of
cattle. His hay is getting scarce
and grass not in sight yet. He may
have a hard pull to get them
through the winter.
Now is the best time that has
ever been for the homeseeker to buy
cheap ranch on the Grouse flats,
owing to the number of vacant
places caused by moving out; some
to put their children in school, and
others to get more handy to market.
There are about 40 homesteads now
for sale, price from $S to SIS per
acre. AS soon as this country is
opened up the price will advance
so to 100 per cent. There is al
ready a telephone company organ
lied and it will meet at Troy Sat
urday to lay pans and means for
the enterprise to start up at once.
Also a petition is being circulated
asking the county court to construct
bridge across the river near Troy
and improve the public highways.
AS soon as the enterprises referred
to are put in motion the price OF
land will advance. This is one of the
most productive sections of Wallowa
county, but owing to the situation
some of the settlers have become dis
gusted and moved away, hopeless OF
any internal improvements. All that
our people ask is to give them
fair deal and then they will do the
balance.
Business has already started up
and the wedding bells are ringing in
the Grouse flats. A young Mr.. Walls
and a Miss Chitwood were married
today. They will get jolly chari
vari by 10 p. m. We hope they may
have a successful future.

Ice.Jam in st. Joe River.

Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 1.-For
eight miles the st. Joseph river is
filled with one solid jam of ice and
logs, the jam in many places being
80 feet above the usual water level.
A bridge over the stream has been
washed away, boats damaged to the
extent of many thousands of dollars
and lumber camp landings torn
away. A huge boom thrown across
the river below the jam may hold it
until a thaw. If not, the town of
Farrell will be seriously damaged.

NEW FISHING LAWS
oregon-Washington Conferees
Have Reached Tentative
Agreement.
UNIFORM LAWS ARE Urged
Spring Closed Season, March 1 co
May 1; Fall Closed Season,
Al ;ust 25 to September 10.

Seattle, Feb. 2.-As a result of
the joint meeting of the legislative
committees from Oregon and Wash
ington, regarding salmon fishing in
the Columbia river, an effort is to be
made to have the agreement in the
form of a treaty ratified by the
United States senate and extended
to six or eight years, so that quar-
rels and hostile legislation from
either state over the boundary rights
cannot in future upset the peaceful
relations which have now been es-
tablished for the first time in the
history of the two states.
The joint commission, by unani-
nous vote, agreed to recommend the
passage of law by both legislatures
providing for spring closed season
from March ], at IL O'Clock noon,
to May l, at IL o'clock noon. The
fall closed season was left undis-
turbed, namely, from August 20 to
September 10.

adopted by the commissions which
is to form the basis of laws to be
enacted by the two legislatures.

Seeond-A fall closed season from
August 25 to September TO-
Third-A Sunday closed season
from p. M. Saturday of each week

tween the first day of May and the
25th day of August.
Fourth-We suggest the mutual
recognition by each state of the IL
censes issued to floating gear by the
other state.

repeal chapter SO, of the session
laws of Oregon, for the year 1907,
relative to the operation of purse
seins and other like gear on the Co.

ment of similar laws in both states

FILIPINO ASSEMBLY OPENED
Annual Report of the Revenues Of
Islands Shows Decline,

Manila, Feb. 1.-The Philippine
assembly opened today with simple
ceremony, President Osmena presid-
ing. The first business to come be-
fore the body was the annual mes
sage to the assembly of Governor
General James F. Smith.
Governor Smith deplored the
growing gulf between the Americans
and the Filipinos in the Philippines,
and strongly urged that they draw
closer together and act in unity for
the best interests of both. His mes
sage sharply criticises the municipal
government of Manila and the mu-
nicipal police force, the personnel Of

rAFT PARTY INSPECTS GATUN
PLANS AND rs SATISFIED

Panama, Feb. 1.-The engineers
accompanying President-elect Taft
spent the day at Gatun with the
chief engineer Of the car n, Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Goethels. They had no
fault to find with the natural foun-
dations for the dam and regarded
the plans for safeguarding the dam
as being complete. They will make
a report to President Roosevelt.
The new Pacific channel to the
canal was used for the departure of
a steamship for the first time today.

which, he said, was not equal to that
of the house servants of the city.
The provincial government, Gov
ernor Smith pronounced TO be en-
tirely satisfactory.
The annual report on the revenues
of the islands shows a decline of
about a million pesos (about $780,
900) for 1908 under the figures of
1907.

No Rush for Vacant Land.

Roseburg-The opening to entry
Of nearly 1900 acres OF land at the
United States land Office here was
not attended by heavy rush of ap-
Nlicants. Thirteen entries were hled
and these in the aggregate involve
less than 1890 acres, or little over
one-seventh Of the total acreage
available. Little OF the land thrown
open is valuable for either agricul-
tural or timber purposes.
