STOLEN SADDLE SOLD
AS OWNER SEARCHES

City Marshal Carson last Friday was
notified by II. Gross, second hand deal.
er, that a suspicious character was al
his place Of business endeavoring to
dispose of a saddle, which the second
hand man thought might have been
stolen. When Mr.. Carson investigated,
the man claimed that he had purchased
the saddle along with a donkey in Cal
ifornia.
81 have ridden from California, "
said the man, who gave the name of
German Ferrendess, "but my burro
fell over an embankmnt just beyond
Mosier and SO injured itself that ]
killed It,"
Still not satisfied the officer held the
man until he searched all records. Not
finding any notice of stolen saddle,
he finally allowed the man to sell his
saddle to the second hand dealer.
When the officer left the secondhand
store and proceeded down the street
he was attracted by the signal light
used to cali local police officers.
Marshal Carson was wanted by F. Fl.
Button, who reported the loss of a
saddle. Mr.. Button Immediately hur-
ried to the secondhand store to identify
and recover his saddle. which had been
missing since last Tuesday. Mr.. But
tons suspicious had not been aroused,
since he thought neighbor had taken
the saddle.
THE seller of the saddle in the
meantime had left the city and has not
been apprehended.

WASCO WILL FIX
ROAD OVER HILLS
(From The Dalles Chronicle)

County Judge F. s. Cunning, at the
solicitation of number of prominent
local business men, has sanctioned the
building of heavy fence on the outer
edge of the steep grade between Mosier
and the Hood River county line. The
grade will also be widened in a number
of places to provide more passing
places for automobiles.
Although it is necessary for the
county court TO authorize this i'm
provement, work was commenced this
week by c. 7. Bennett, county. road
supervisor of Mosier, business men of
The Dalles having guaranteed the ex-
pense of the work, in order to have the
Improvement made Immediately.
With hundreds of tourists travelling
over the Highway between this city
and Portland. many complaints are
heard regarding the Mosier grade.
These complaints. however, are gener-
ally made by inexperienced drivers
who are not accustomed to driving a
car over billy country roads. The sur
face of the grade is in good condition,
the rocks. beng raked off frequently,
despite the fact that in Hood River
many tourists. are directed to cross the
Columbia river to White Salmon, being
told that the grade between Hood
River and Mosier is practically impass-
able.
A part of the grade has already been
fenced with timber heavy enough to
prevent a car from running off the
road. Many inexperienced drivers who
go down the hill do not know how to
handle their cars on a heavy grade. 1t
is believed that the fence to be con-
structed will greatly assist poor driv.
ers in negotiating the hill.
The many reports regarding the
Mosier hill which have been heard in
this city caused the local business men
to take the matter up with the county
court. Edward C. Pease. V. II. French,
Judd S. Fish, W. E. Walther, J. W.
Brewer, secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce, and Chronicle representa-
tive accompanied County Judge Gunn-
ing and Road Supervisor E. II. Sharp
to Mosier to inspect the grade. After
a thorough inspection of the condition
of the grade it was decided that a
fence and few more turnouts would
eliminate the complaints which turn
large number of tourists away from
this city.
