side of the controversy with Baker
and Union county sheepmen over the
allotment of range in the mountains
separating the three counties.
Baker and Union, owners have
been encroaching on what our grow
ers consider their rightful range,
both by right Of prior occupancy
and by the agreement made by the
stockmen of the three counties and
the forest officials at Wallowa on
Nov. 10, 1905.
Since that date, Pine and Eagle
valley men have grabbed range from
our side for l2 bands Of sheep and
are now kicking for more although
there are now $1,000 sheep in this
county deprived OF natural range.
The Wallowa county men claim tn,

the facts and evidence are on their
side. The matter will be settled by
the forest officials.

to help YOU"
When the patient returned next day
the rabbi brought forth pill he had
prepared, told the doubly afflicted man
to open his mouth and showed it in.
The pill was of considerable size.
Scarcely had the patient allowed it to
dissolve somewhat in his mouth than
he began to spit, with an expression
of the greatest disgust, and exclaimed:
"What do you mean? That's tar
and sulphur and kerosene you gave
me. Do you want to poison me?
Phuip
"Well, what are you making so much
noise about?" laughed the rabbi, with
great heartiness. Hasn't God per-
formed miracle? You have told the
truth. 1t Is really tar and sulphur and
kerosene. And you have actually re-
covered the sense of taste In your
mouth."-New York Press.

ports In Northern Colorado and on the

character OF the work and method OF
the State Immigration Board In ad-
vcrtising Colorado to attract new.
comers to this state. The Arkansas
Valley, however, which has bigger
and better crops than any other part
OF the states this year, Is not even
mentioned, and IL Is apparent that the
man who wrote the article was never
outside OF Denver. Otero county,
which raised a million dollars worth
more crops last year than any other
county in the state, is ignored, and
even Rocky Ford, which has an inter.
national reputation, Is overlooked. {.
Although u number Of booklets ad.
vertising various parts of the state
are mentioned there Is not one con-
corning the Arkansas Valley, probably
for the reason that Il booklet OF this
