HEARST IN MARBLE.

The fact that what some observers
regard as q likeness Of William Ran

the Senate Offse building, in the main
assembly room Of the Committee on
Claims, calls attention tn the further
fact that various likenesses Of one sort

Der Of resemblances can be traced

Study Shining situation.

Salem, Ore.-At the hearing to be
held tuesday June 29, by the oregon
railroad commission at Salem for the
purpose of arriving at an equitable
and uniform stock contract it is ex-
rected members of the Montana, Cali
fornia and washington commissions
will be present. If suitable agree
ment can be reached it is likely that
the contract decided upon will be ad-
opted by the commissions of four
states.
Many complaints regarding ship
ping contracts for livestock have been
received by the commissions and the
railroad companies have been asked TO
submit their proposals for altering the
contracts now in use. Some of the
companies have done this, others have
not.
If the hearing next Tuesday is sue
cessful the interstate railroad COM
mission may also adopt the contract
or agreement arrived at or use the
Oregon contract as basis upon whicn
to establish a uniform contract for use
on the railroads all over the United
States.

Drills for Water.

klamath Falls, Ore.-Through the
enterprise of Dave Elder, the South
ern Oregon sheep king, extensive ex,
periments are to be made in drilling
fer artesian water. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Elder to drill for water on his
arid ranches in. klamath county dur,
ing the summer, and then to remove
the outfit to Lake county in the fall,
Experiments for artesian water will
be made in the Big Low desert in east
tern Lake county and should they be
successful It will permit the grazing
o. stock on this vast dry plain dur
ing the summer months, when all
stock must be removed owing to a
lack Of moisture.
Should water be struck on the arid
farms owned by the sheep king, it
would facilitate the sheep industry as
the question Of water has always been
a menace to the stockmen. Should
water be struck on the Big Low des-
ert, it would revolutionize the wool
and mutton industry.

Horse Runs ! Miles Before Train.

Spokane.-Passengers on the out
bound Spokane flyer Monday evening
were treated to one of the greatest
exhibitions of long distance running
that a horse ever exhibited. A big
bay horse. about 16 hands high, and
a most beautiful specimen of horse
flesh, according to those who saw
him, took fright at the approaching
train while feeding in a pasture
alongside the track about one mile
this side of Fairview, and starting
down the track, ran for seven miles
at almost top speed down the center
of the track in front of the train.
In that seven miles the horse
jumped 16 cattle guards, and ran at
good speed across a common rail-
road bridge about so feet in width
without a slip. He was only scared
off the track when the train entered
Troutdale. and when, at the call of
the whistle of the engineer, the sta
tion agent there and employees of a
nearby livery stable, cornered him
and caught him with lariat.
