With an inch or two OF snowfall last
night and intermittent gusts of snow
and hail today, the weather in this
section of eastern oregon shows but
faint signs of breaking up and the
storm is proving distressing to both
livestock men and farmers. Though
the losses thus far are slight, 1t is
now generally admitted the situation
will soon become serious unless bet
ter weather comes within a short
time.
Reports from various parts of this
county and from other portions Oh
eastern Oregon show the storm to be
general, but the reports from all plac-
es are optimistic in that they fail to
reveal any stock losses thus far. In
cidentally. it is safe to say that the
early reports as to losses are quite
likely tinted with over optimism ow-
ing to the well known tendency or
stockmen to minimize their losses. Un-
questionably the losses in the lamb
ing camps are heavier than usual
and cattlemen are also suffering to
some extent from the weather.
THE chief source of trouble to
sheepmen," says Dan p. Smythe, rs
the fact the cold weather Is retard-
ing the new grass and thereby inter-
fering with the feed, With the ewes

HAVERFORD
ASHORE IN
DENSE FOG
Calls On Tugs to Disembark
Her 1000 Passengers
Coast Is Rugged

Queenstown, May 29.-The Ameri-
can Line steamer Haverford went
ashore. today, in a dense fog in the
vicinity of Daunt Rock, which she Is
supposed to have struck. She is max
ing water forward and has requested
tugs to disen bark her passengers. She
is believed to have 1000 passengers
on board of whom 150 are second
class and the remainder steerage.
The Haverford took a large num-
Der on board at Liverpool for Phi1a-
delphia and about 100 Irish passeng-
ers were waiting for her but did not
get on board.
The sea was smooth but the shore
along this coast is very rugged ~and
the fog continues dense.
The tugs found the Haverford
at about o'clock this evening. Sire
had struck on the rocks off Cork
Head and not on Daunt Rock as had
been supposed. The passengers are
being taken off.
Two. tugs which left the Haverford
with 700 passengers on board are now
coming into Queens stown. The tug
Hellspont and another are alongside
the liner so there is little doubt that
all the passengers and crew will be
saved.
The Haverford was built in 1901. Her
length is 531 feet and her breadth
of beam 50 feet. Her gross tonnage
is 1885 and her net tonnage, 1850.
She is comma nded by Capt. Evans.
