DANIEL B. WATSON
APPOINTED WARDEN

Daniel Boone Watson, a we'll known
resident of Pendleton- for many years,
was yesterday appointed deputy game
and fish warden for this county by
Master Fish Warden Clanton and
Master Game Warden Stevenson, who
We're here yesterday. Wsston's ap-
pointment will hold until the new fish
and game commission becomes effec-
tive which will be about May 20
About a month ago all the deputy
wardens in the state were requested
to turn in their resignaions. The
purpose of his was not made known
at that time nor has it been revealed
as yet. Lately the filling of vacan-
cies was commenced and most of the
old deputies were reappointed. In
this county, however, James Estes and
Doc" Maple are replaced by Wat
son.
Whether or not the appointment of
Watson will serve to induce any of
the large number of applicants in
the field for the permanent appoint
ment to withdraw from the race re-
mains to be seen. Probably the most
important among these are Estes and
Maple, the two former deputies, Bert
Livermore and +. E. Earnhart.
1t is generally believed here that
Governor West wis appoint the mem
bers of the fish and game commission
within the next day or two. Local
spOrtsmen of both political parties
also feel confident that C. X. Gran
ston, who is being urged for the ap-
pointment by the Umatilla County
Fish & Game association. will be CIV
en- position on the board. Cranston
says that in the event of his appoint
ment that he will recommend that
man for depuy who is given the en-
dorsement of the local association.

SHEEP SHEARING BEGINS
IN WALLA WALLA VALLEY

Sheep shearing was begun yester-
day in the Walla Walla valley, and
while few sheep are in the valley
proper at present, the sheepowners
OF the Snake river district are busy
clipping the fleece from their flocks,
says the Walla Walla Union. Warm
weather for the past month has made
the sheep rather uncomfortable with
their winter coats and the wool Is in
fine condition to clip. Dozens Of men
from the south, especially in the Ore
gon districts, have gone to Starbuck
and nearby points, to assist in the
annual sheep shearing. The quality
of the wool this year is said to be
better than usual, and the clip will
be heavy. Some of the sheepmen,
who had intended to start clipping
Monday, delayed the work until the
cool weather should have passed, but
most Of the sheep owners have their
work well under way.

a more permanent place. Yesterday
when the last mentioned place was

win, famed even among his incon
stant professional brethren as "the
marrying actor" is soon to take to
himself another better half, according
to report. Indeed, it is even whisper
ed along Broadway that "Nat"-as
our hero is best known-has already
gone and done it." although the ink
is scarcely dry on the decree granted
to Edna Goodrich, "Nat's fourth, you
know" The same rumor identifies
the happy bride as st. Louis girl.
Under the decree granted to Miss
Goodrich, Nat" may never marry
again in New York state unless he
survives Miss Goodrich, who is a
healthy young person and has always
been a strong advocate of the admis-
sion to statehood of the neighborlng
territory of Arizona, and New Mex
leo as well. Mats" friends are now
saying that perhaps his advocacy of
statehood may be due to the fact that
other states will emulate New York
and prohibit him remarryingr with

him in hand to have as many states

only illustrates the ignorance of New
Yorkers. who evidently believe that

mitted to wed.

AMERICA GETS THE MILL"
British Public Failed to Raise( Price of Art Treasure and Altman
 Becomes Owner.

London, April 3.-Benjamin Altman of New York city is probably the owner today of Rembrandt's famous picture, The Mill" paying $500,000 for it. Lord Lansdowne was said to have received an offer of $500 900 from a rich New Yorker, but when the news became known the British National gallery sought to gain pos session of the picture.
 Lord Lansdowne gave an option to the gallery which was to expire at midnight of March 31, and the pa irons of the gallery undertook to raise that amount by popular subscrip- tion. Unhappily for the British public, only sS9,24O was secured. Now the uic- ture goes to America.
