BAND OF 326 SHEEP FOUND
GOldendale StOckman Herds Lost
Flock Looking for Owner.

Goldendale, Wash. james Glea-
son, Klickitat stockman, found 326
head of lost sheep on his cattle range
at the head of Devils canyon, in the
Simcoe mountains, II miles north of
Goldendale. Mr.. Gleason herded the
sheep for two weeks, looking for the
owner to appear and claim them, and
has now turned them in with the
band of Uri Trumbo. The sheep were
two-year-old wethers.
Lost sheep strayed from the big
bands are frequently found in small
punches, but it is not often that as
large a number strays away from the
main band.
1t is thought that the sheep are
part of one of the several bands
brought over from Oregon this
spring to Craze on the Columbia for
est reserve and the Yakima Indian
reservation and became separated
from the main flock while trailing
through the Simcoes.

PIONEER LOSES CLAIM.
Joe Hall Tells Truth and Govern
ment Refuses Patent.

Joe Hall, who has been home
steading in the Crater forest reserve
on the Little Applegate during the
last three or four years, has been
ordered off his holdings by the land
office at Roseburg. He is moving
his belongings down the creek three
miles to the old Combest homestead
Hall took up the rights left by
his brother, Tom Hall, who settled
on the claim in 1901 and filed ap-
plication for homestead rights in
1903. In the hearing the neighbors
swore that Tom Hall was on the
homestead from six to eight months
each year from the time of his filing
until his death in 1908, but Joe Hall
when queried at the time of his prov
ing up on the homestead at Roseburg
two years ago stated that to his
knowledge his brother had been on
the homestead three months annu-
ally The land commissioners held
that Halls statement was proof that
his brother had not fulfilled the obli-
cations imposed by the government
and the rights were Cancelled.
Since the death of Tom Hall, in
1908, Joe Hall has lived upon the
claim continually. He has cleared
additional acres of land which
brings the cultivated acreage up to
the grand total of IL or 13 acres,
and has built him a comfortable
home in place of the log cabin lived
in by his brother.
Joe Hall is an old settler. He has
lived in Jackson county for thirty
years. He would have chance to
refile on the property if it were not
that he used his homestead right
while living in Montana years ago.
The government officials were
considerate to the extent of allowing
the old man six months time to cut
his oats and dig his potatoes and
move or sell his stock.

informed on political affairs they
would gain the respect of their hus-
bands and children and would not De
ooked upon as servants to wait upon
them.
"A word to those men who look
upon woman as an ideal mother
The Quaker mothers who were treat
ed as the equal to their husbands
were the ideal mothers. | never
knew one of them to neglect her chill
dren. OF course they had the respect
and support of their husbands and
were not regarded as slaves. Why
should not motherhood be honored?
1t is only through it that the race is
preserved Even in wild animal life
men while hunting often spare the
life of the mother that protects her
young.
THE true mothers are the ones
who ask for the ballot. The reason
that they want to vote is that they
may purify politics and rescue their
boys from the corruption of the pres
ent political world. OF late years |
have said I will have nothing to do
with politics as they are too filthy
anu VII DuJ hOAhCn w liO al y lDOln-
ers, when they see their children are
in danger, will not shrink from any
filth. | have heard it said and, from
what | saw, | believe it true, that
our country at present is ruled by
-the saloons. Isn't this one fault that
we mothers need the ballot in order
to clean up?
Men say that they will give the
woman the ballot as soon as she asks
for ii. 1t is not that crushed mother,
or that mother who patronizes the
bathrooms, or that mother who neg
lects her children, or that mother
who caresses the poodle dog, who
asks for the ballot. 1t is the woman
who considers the future welfare of
the boys and girls, who considers the
welfare of the race. Those women
who in thought live on a high plane
are the ones who ask for the ballot.
In my younger years / was ac-
lively engaged in the work of educa-
tion as a teacher. / we'll remember
the maxim, We must educate or per-
ish by our posterity.' Does not the
same rule hold good today? This
country is being rapidly flooded with
undeveloped men from foreign coun-
tries who will have the right to vote.
Now, if ever, we need strong, pure,
intelligent men and women to stand
at the helm and guide the ship of
state. Men need the help of women.
Women represent an element that is
absolutely necessary for our political
life. The very genius of mother love,
strong, unselfish, pure mother love,
is the holiest principle that belongs
to the human race. For the welfare
of our present people, for the welfare
of future generations and the preser-
vation of the nation, that mother
love should be expanded so as to in
clude the political field.
Therefore we mothers ask you
for the ballot The undeveloped
woman will never ask for it, The
undeveloped man already has the bal
lot. To be consistent you must eth
er disenfranchise the undeveloped
man or enfranchise all women"

PAYMASTER CAPTURED.
Sam Schepps Believed to Have Paid
Blood Money.

Hot Springs, ,Ark.-Trembling with
fear and rage over the action of Dep
uty Police Commissioner Dougherty
in offering to send members of the
New York police force to take him
back to New York Sam Schepps, un-
der arrest here for alleged compile
ity in the murder of Gambler Her.

Although Schepps is reported to
have admitted that he paid the mur-
derers of Rosenthal to pull off the
job, he refused to tell who gave him
the money. District Attorney Whit
man declares the money was given

CHANGES IN ROME.
Americans viii Scarcely Recognize
Ancient City This Fall

1t has always been in the minds
of the powers that be that something
more should be made of the series of
{ ancient remains which have the
Baths of Caracalla as their center.
and at last this dream is in process
of realization. Americans returning
to Rome in the autumn will scarcely
recognize that part of ancient Rome
which extends from the Coliseum and
the Circus Maximus to the famous
Thermae, or Baths The Thermae
were the wonder of the world when
built and are still So and, while not
SO large as those of Diocletian, were
more luxurious, accommodating 49,
900 bathers contemporaneously
The government, carrying out a
scheme originally due to the versa
tile mind of the late historian and
statesman, Ruggiero Bonghi, and the
eX-cabinet minister, Guido Baccelli,
has entrusted Senator Professor Ro-
! dolto Lanciani, the celebrated arch
aeologist, so well known to American
/ readers, to bring to life what is
known as the Archaeological Prom
enade,' which already covers $50
acres of this land. Part of this land
required draining and was a fruitful
source of malaria, so that. inciden-
| tally, Professor Lanciani has i'm
proved the health of that portion of
the environs of the city. The whole
forms a magnificent park, surround
ing and setting forth the unique
ruins from Roman times, the great
est care being taken to re-create
! what it must have been when the
! remains were glorious realities, so
that besides the natural plants of the
soil, there are only seven kinds of
trees, the classic trees of Rome, i. e..
olive, laurel, pine, cypress, lick, oak
and poplar, of which 10,500 have al
ready been planted, nearly all doing
we'll.
In the center and overshadowing
all, stand the Baths. One does not
need to be profound student of Ro-
man times to understand what it
means to discover under one build
ing (the Thermae) one mile of un-
derground passages, evidently for the
use of slaves, as they led to the diff
ferent bath halls above, and were
the vehicle through which the soiled
linen passed.
1t has just been ascertaned that
one of the wonders of this pile was
the largest flat roof in the world,
supported by copper beams, no lon
ger in existence, but there are the
walls, and their formation shows that
the roof was flat, without support
from below.
Another of the sensational discov-
cries is huge library, the only one
known to have existed in Rome in
connection with the Baths. The
inches where the books stood are
still to be seen, with the three steps
which led up to the platform before
them, and other signs which seem to
point to the fact that there were
reading desks attached to the walls.
The Caracalla library is almost a
reproduction of the Roman library
at Pergamo, but is much larger.

HISTORY AND MINoRITIEs.

President.elect Wilson is not alone among his predecessors in failing of a majority in the popular vote. while commanding an enormous plurality and winning more than three.fourths Of the electoral cillege, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 Within the time when the electors have been chosen directly by the peo- pie, John Quincy Adams in 1924 gained the presidency without a ma jority Of either the popular or the electoral vote. James K. Polk in lS44 had nearly two-thirds of the electoral college. buta minority of the popular vote. Zachary Taylor in 1S4S was outvoted by the Democrats and Free Soilers.
 Franklin Pierce had nearly three tourths of the college in the great Democratic sweep in 1852, but a pop. ular majority of only 6S,OOO. James Buchanan in 1856 was in a popular minority.
 Abraham Lincoln in 1880 was heav- fly in a popular minority. Hayes

THE YOUNGER GENERATION.

The younger natives of Alaska are making progress. and they should be given every encouragement. They have learned that the ancient GUS toms and tribal rites of their fathers are not in keeping with civilization. In this they show advancement, but it would seem that sometimes they are given bad advice by eyil.minded, or nl-disposed persons. There were rites indulged in only few days ago by some of the older natives at Aux village which did not meet the appro- bation of the younger people, yet someone induced them to make a pro test to The Empire because the re- yival of an ancient custom was ex. posed. or course The Empire knew that the protest was inspired by others. The young natives would have made none had they not been otherwise counseled. This writer has done all that he could for many years to secure betterment of conditions for the native peoples of Alaska, and he will continue to do so
The Alaska daily empire., 1912-12-04

in 1876 locked both a popular plural ity and majority.
