INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE
OREGON SHEEP IMPROVE.
DR.. Lyle Declares Campaign Against
"Scabies" Has Been of Benefit.

Ut. Lyle OeCldreS campaign AgalnS
"Scabies" Has Been of Benefit.
Portland-Oregon sheep are consid
cred to be generally in most health
full condition, according to DR.. w. H.
Lytle, deputy state stock inspector fol
Eastern Oregon.
"The greatest trouble we have had
with sheep in Oregon has been in re-
gard to the 'scabies,' a disease that
was prevalent in nearly all the Rocks
four years ago." said DR.. Lytle. cat
first it was very difficult to get the
sheepmen to see our way in the proper
care of the sheep and they disliked the
new methods we introduced. How
ever, they soon discovered that two
healthy sheep were much better than
20 sick ones.
"In order to eradicate the 'scabies,
it was necessary that every sheep rails
er should dip all his sheep thoroughly
once and sometimes twice a year.
This work required considerable time
and extra expense of the sheepmen.
Frequently we had to compel some
fiocks to be re-dipped, as some stock
men failed to do the work. properly.
"Another matter that we had to
watch closely was the shipping of
sheep out of the state. While this
was within the province of the Federal
inspectors, we were desirous of pro-
tecting the industry of our own state
and co-operated with the government
inspectors in every way possible.
"It has taken several seasons of
strenuous work on the part of the in
spectors to carry on the campaign for
better and cleaner sheep, and we feel
that we have now succeeded in our pur
pose. believe that the sheep in Ore
gon, on the whole, are in as fine con-
dition as those in any of the states.
The quality of wool has also shown a
marked improvement during the past
year or two."

ALASKA VOLCANO ERUPTs.
Mount Shishaldin Scatters Ashes on
Distant Ship.

Seward, Alaska-The steamer Corwin
arrived from New York with the re-
port that Mount Shishaldin, the highest
volcanic peak in the Unimak Islands,
is again in eruption. Early in July
Shishaldin was very active, but after a
short time the eruption ceased.
officers of the Corwin say that when
they passed the island few days ago
the volcano was more active than in
the former eruption. A great column
of fire shot high into the air and vast
volumes of smoke poured from the
crater. The snow, which at the time
of the previous eruption had not melt
ed far from the crater, has entirely dis
appeared from the sides of the noun
tain.
Long before the Corwin approached
the island sne was covered with white
volcanic ash that had been thrown out
by the eruption, and was carried along
in the heavy clouds of smoke. The
men ON the. Corwin say the sight pre-
sented by Mount Shishaldin was the
most awe.inspiring they have ever seen.

Tame Pet Hears Call of Wild and
Responds to 1t.

Sandy = A once tame greyhound,
owned by Martin Smith, of Sandy, has
become wild and now consorts with the
coyotes it formerly chased in the sur
rounding hills. 1t has been three years
since this greyhound heard and re-
sponded to the call of the wild, and it
has never ventured back to his old
home in Sandy except to come to the
outskirts to steal chickens from hen
roosts.
The companion of this greyhound is
coyote. and they have frequently
been seen together running through
the outskirts of the town. Several
persons have tried to get photographs
of the strange couple, but have failed.
The greyhound has lost all desire to
return to his former home, and has be-
come even more wild than his compan-
ion. The animal has quite history,
having been raised from a puppy in
the neighborhood. But one day he
from his home, and several
weeks afterwards was seen with the
coyote which has been his constant
companion ever since.

urday on a world tour of the boys scout
companies, having organized that move

the movement to the United States, he
said: "With the usual energy the
American people display, they have
taken up the question splendidly; but
are inclined to give it too much of mil
itary tinge; the subject is not so much
military as to make boys good citizens.''

IN ORIENTAL'S HOME
Accuses Celestial Husband of
Failing to Provide

clerk whom r. w. Wong, a Chinese
merchant, had arrested on a burglary
charge because Sheppard used to call
on his wife, a white woman. was dis
charged by Police Judge Smith this
morning. He had been arraigned on a
charge of disturbing the peace, which
the Chinese filed after Sheppard's re-
lease on the burglary charge.
few nights ago Wong met the
clerk with Mrs. Wong and suspected
that Sheppard was planning to accom-
pany Mrs. Wong to Los Angeles. The
woman. who was before her marriage
in New Mexico to Wong Miss Carrie
Stocks of Los Angeles, was on her way
to attend her sick mother. Wong
traiied her to the station and had Shep-
pard arrested. His criminal charges
have. been thrown out of the court and
the oriental is now seeking a divorce
from his wife.
According to Sheppard Mrs. Wong
will return to Oakland and file a cross
complaint, accusing Wong of cruelty.
The basis for this charge will be that
the merchant fed his spouse on Chinese
fare, limiting il to the allowance OF a
Chinese woman. Consequently. the
woman says, she was usually hungry.

estuary to fill long strip and water
way which flows through the marsh east
