EIowered Underwear.

One of the latest fads of the season
is the use of daintily sprigged and
flower cambrics for underwear, This,
of course, is merely a passing whim'
for there are too many women who
conservatively object to introducing
color into the scheme of the lingerie
for it to become a fixed fashion.
Those who have no prejudice in this
regard and who Jump at anything
new are choosing early Victorian de-
signs in soft, pale colorings which
wash well and keep their tints. There
are besides embroidered cambrics and
lawns ant dotted swisses which are
put to the same purposes as well as
figured muslins. All Of these Ger

NEW OREGON RAILROAD
OPENS UP VAST REGION.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 2S-John f.
Stevens, formerly chief engineer Of
the Panama Canal, has Just COM
pleted a railroad into the interior OF
Oregon, being the Oregon Trunk,
Hill road, of which Mr.. Stevens is
president. The line runs south
from the Columbia river, up the Des-
chutes and opens vast region az
yet little known to the outside world
and sparsely settled In discussing
the future of this territory, great in
extent, Mr.. Stevens said:
Lying entirely within the state OF
Oregon are over 100000 squares
miles of undeveloped territory of
which at least one-half is capable OF
high agricultural development and all
of the remainder possesses rich tim
Der resources or is able to provide
range for countless herds and f1ocks.
Practically this important part of
the capital of the nation has lain idle
through past years, when all other
sections of the Northwest have been
benefited and the reason why this
particular section has fingered in the
dark ages is not hard to find. 1t 10
that there is hardly mile of rail-
road in all this vast expanse.
'"rhe cost of transportation has
made it impossible to produce with
in its borders anything of market
able value, excepting wool, that had
not legs to walk out of the country.
All this, however, will be changed.
Much of the land of value has passed
to the hands of private owners, and
much of it is locked up by our entire
academic and visionary forestry pol
icy, SO that the actual settler finds
conditions different from those in
Montana and the Dakotas.
Besides, the country being es-
sentially semi-arid one, successful
agriculture must be pursued along
lines to which most of our farmers
are strangers. Many failures will.

WESTON co. EX-SHERIFF
is ACCUSED OF MURDER,
While Acting in Capacity of Deputy
Sheriff Schools Coal Miner, the
Wound Causing Death.

Newcastle, Wyo., Feb. 2S.-A cor
oner's inquest held over the remains
of man named Davis, returned
verdict that he came to his death
from the effects of a bullet wound
inflicted by a gun in the hands OF
John Owens, the ex-sheriff of Weston
county. They further found that the
act of Owens was unjustified and he
was bound over to the district court
for trial.
The homicide occurred at Cambria
last Friday. 1t is reported here that
Owens was employed by the county
of eston as a special deputy to pre-
serve order at the coal mining camp,
seven miles from the county seat.
Davis was coal miner and is said to
have walked down the street in an
intoxicated condition. He possessed
revolver and fired 1t into the air at
his pleasure. 1t is also reported he
put on bragado front and said he
would like to see any man who could
arrest him. Owens appeared on the
scene and ordered Davis to cease his
firing. 1t is then claimed Davis fired
bullet in close proximity to Owens
head. After that the report is that
Davis putt his right hand containing
the gun around to his back and held
IL there. Owens meanwhile demand
ed of Davis that he surrender in the
name of the law. He could see the
end of the gun barrel to the left of
the mans side. Owens was watching
his man very closely, the story goes,
| when he thought he detected another
movement of Davis, arm as if he
were going to withdraw it for the
purpose of shooting again. Think
ing this time the bullet might find a
vital spot in his own body, Owens is
| said to have fired at Davis, infiictine
mortal wound, frim which he died
in a short time.
Much excitement prevailed in New
castle Immediately following the re-
port that Owens had shot another
man. He was defeated in the recent
election for sheriff of Weston county
by r. B. Hackney, and is said to have
become most unpopular by his fail
ing to acquiesce in the wishes of the
majority of the voters. To compro-
mise the situation he was appointed
as deputy by Hackney and is said
to have become satisfied without pur-
suing the matter in the courts.
j Reefe Davis, coal miner of Car
NEVILLE, is the father of the dead
man.

DECLARE THEY MUST EAT,
CLOTHES OR NO CLOTHES

Philadelphia, March 1.-The latest
cry against the high cost of living
comes from the artists of this city,
men and women, who have united in
a demand on the Pennsylvania Acad-
envy of Fine Arts, for a uniform rate
of pay for posing, or they will or
ganize union to enforce their de-
mands. They want uniform scale
of fifty cents an hour, with or with
out drapery. A letter outlining the
demands Of the models, nearly all OF
whom are women, was sent to John
E. D. Trask, secretary of the acad-
envy this week. A reply was promptly
sent. 1t says:
II regret very much that it is i'm
possible to do as you suggest as tc
rate per hour in portrait, sketch and
illustration classes. The reason thai
these classes are paid at lower fig.
IRE is due to the comparative ease
Of getting models to take them, and
also because the risk of cold Is less
than in other classes. At present thu
academy pays fifty cents a, hour 70,
posing in the nude, but 25 cents q,
hour for posing for the head only
and 33 1-3 cents an hour for cos.
tune drapery."
"The idea Of paying us less be
cause we might not catch cold" in
dignaptly exclaimed Miss Mccain
one Of the signers of the demand
"Why, We have to eat as much
whether we appear with clothes O
without them. At fifty-cents al
hour we only get a living wage
Some of us only average IS a weel
during the season. We want to liv
with or without clothes"

Cured. However, it was not long be-
fore a sheep wagon was found be-
yond the deadline and was immedia-
tely burned. Since that time acts of
violence have been frequent, but as a
rule both sides are reticent, and it is
seldom that the outside world learns
anything about them.
AS is natural, both sides claim to
be right. The cattlemen with one ex-
ception, are all holders of from 100
to 500 head. They say that the agree
ment was made in good faith, and in
sist that it's provisions be carried out.
They say that if they permit the
sheep to encroach upon them that
1t means ruin. Their herds are the
only means of support and to let the
sheep take their range means the
taking of the bread out of their fam
lies mouths.
On the other hand some of the
sheepmen claim title to some of the
lands within the dead line, and they
insist that they have a right to put
their sheep on their own property.
But no matter which is right or
which is wrong, the fight is still on,
and the end is not in sight.

IN. IOHES L. s. TO
SAVE STARVING ELK.
looming Legislators Ask Govern
inent for S2O.OOO-Win Give
Like Sum.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-To prevent
the extinction of the big game OF
aorthern Wyoming, congress has
oeen importuned to appropriate $780,
900 to be expended with q similar
sum appropriated by the legislature
of that state. A petition was receiv-
ed by the senate today from the Wy
oming legislature, and is was sup
ported by long telegram from Gov
ernor Carey and an urgent letter to
Senator Lodge from DR.. W. T. Horn
aday of the New York geological
park.
1t Is stated there are $4,000 elk
alone which in summer roam in Vel
lowstone park, but in the winter in
wade the Jackson Hole country. They
break down fences and attack the
haystacks of farmers but without the
food thus obtained it was estimated
that not fewer than 5000 of them
would die of starvation during Feb
ruary.
Governor Carey expresses the opin-
ion that the surplus elk could be re-
moved to the Big oHrn mountains,
where, he says, there is abundance
OF feed, and suggests that company
of cavalry be detailed to aid exper-
fenced cattlemen in removing the an
imals.
The request for assistance from
the national authorities is based on
the fact that great many of the elk
roam in Yellowstone park, which is
under federal Jurisdiction.
