HAY CP.EKK STOKE BURNS Fire Last Week Destroyed Build ing and Merchandise Owned by B. S. Si L. Co. Fire, started from an overheated. stove, set fire to the interior of the B. S. & L. Co's general merchan dise store at Hav Creek last Kri- lay and the building and its con tents were totally destroyed. The loss, which includes a large amount of new slock which had just been purchased K'cause of the near ap proach of (he shearing season, will amount to nearly J5CKK). One of the clerks in the store distributed the mail upon the ar rival of the stage about 6:30 o'clock then before leaving the store tilled the oflice stove full of wood. The drafts were open and it is- thought the stove becoming red hot, set fire to the wood work and spread ijuickly to other parts of the building. Upon the return of the clerk from breakfast the whole of the interior was found to be in Unmet. The loss is fully covered by insurance. It is the intention of the comp any to rebuild the store as soon as material can be Becuied and the work of clearing away the debris has begun. CATTLEMEN VIM FIOHT Transportation to and from Shipp ing Points Will be Dranted Them by the Railroads. Free transportation, to cattle. men, both to and from the shipp ing points, will likely be restored by all the western railways as the result of the action of the C. M. A St. Paul. That road has decided to provide transportation to cattk' shippers on return trips the same ns on outgoing journeys. For years it bus been customary for railroads to furnish free trans portation for return trips to ship pers of cattle on western lines. The first of the present year, how ever, the roads entered into an agreement whereby transportation one way only was provided. He- turn trips were charged for at regular rates, according to the agreement. The decision caused a vigorous and prolonged protest on the part of the cattlemen, who have persist ed in their demands for the restor ation of the otd system. The plan consumed a large r cent of their profits, they insisted. For a time the roads were em phatic in their assertions that the old system had been abolished permanently and that free trans portation would not lie restored. The controversy continued until a meeting of the lines interested was bolil. Last week the Milwaukee road decided that it would return to its old plan and the decision was made known to the line's agent in Portland. It is now thought that all the western lints will follow suit and go back to the old system. The (). it. 4 N. made the change a few days ago and announcements from the other roads arc expected soon. CORNER STONE IS LAID Dedication Exercises Were Con ducted Last Sunday by Rev. Holt of Portland. The corner stone of the new Presbyterian church was laid last Sunday afternoon, and a large crowd was present to witness tbe ceremonies. Rev. Holt in bis address review ed the history of the chinch and the efforts that had been made to get it firmly established.- lie sikc, too, of the present officers of the church and congratulated the Presbyterians upon having two good men as officers, one of whom was a furniture dealer and the other a bank official. Rev. Holt's address was followed by vocal selections in which tbe members of the Sunday School Mrs. Z. W. Commerford, Miss Maggie Foster and Dr. C. E. Ed wards took part. At the conclu sion of the afternoon's program Mr. C. I. Winnek declared tbe corner stone duly laid. Work on the new edifice will now be pushed rapidly until the building is completed. The foun dation is finished and the work on the main floor will be carried on as fast as the material can be handled. It is expected that the building will be ready for occu pancy early in the fall. YOUNG THIEF GETS CAUGHT Boy of lti Steals a Horse at Fossil but is Caught After a Chase of 35 Miles. Eossil, Or., May 9. About the youngest horsethief that ever oper ated in this vicinity was brought here Saturday. His name is Ros- coc Pottter and be is not over 16 years of age. The victim of his thievery is Ira Carter, a Mayville wheat farmer, from whom he took a horse and saddle. The boy is an orphan and was sent there from Portland by the Boys and Girls Aid Society to live with a bachelor named Malhe son. Not finding life there to his liking he left and has been staying for short times at different ranches in the neighborhood. His last home was with Jay Wright and his mother, near Mayville. Mr. Carter is a near neighbor to these people and he engaged young Pot ter to feed his chickens while lie went on a trip to Arlington. On Mr. Carter's return the boy was missing, likewise a horse and sad dle. The authorities were notified and on investigation they found the boy had passed through here. going south. A deputy constable was sent out from this place and found him with his stolen property nt Spray, 35 miles southeast, on Friday- night. He was brought back and turned over to the Gilliam County authorities. It is presumed that he will be sent to the Reform School, as youthftlness would prob ably prevent a criminal prosecution. GOOD FUTURE FOR Powe. Company Will Erect Plant if Beets Can Be Raised Successfully. There is a strong probability that the region lying along the Defchutes river which is now in process of reclamation - will be the home of several sugar beet factor ies inside of a short time. These factories will be built if the soil proves to be adapted to the growth of the sugar beet. Sugar factories may lie built in the reclaimed region, if the soil proves to be adapted to growth of the sugar beet. The profit derived from the production of beets is very great, and the only way in which itcan be determined whether or not a root of proper saccharine percentage and otherwise desirable can be grown is by planting some of the seed and cultivating it through the year. This will be done this Summer and next Fall it may be known whether a fact ory may be contemplated with good chances of success. In speaking of the prospects of the district as a sugar beet region, W. F. Guerin, who is in active management of the company said: "We are putting in 80 acres as an experimental station this Spring. On this we shall plant a variety of crops and give them as nearly per fect cultivation ns possibe. This will be to determine those crops best adapted to the soil under irri gation. It is well known that al falfa grows enormously, as do all grains and vegetables, but I am particularly anxious to experi ment with sugar beets, for I be lieve our soil will produce this im portant article equal to any other land in the world. It requires ir rigation to grow the sugar beet at its best and attempts in the irri gated sections of the Western States to produce a su(rioi article have so far been uniformly suc cessful. 'If our experiment with the ugar beet this Summer proves satisfactory there is no question that this crop will be an import ant one in the future." BRIDGE CONTRACT IS LET J. B.Tillotson Will Erect County Bridge Across Crooked River at the Forest Ranch. The county court awarded the contract to J. B. Tillotson of Port land for building the bridge across Crooked river near the Forest ranch. The new crossing is to be a combination Howe truss and the cost to the county will be $3580. This was one of the lowest bids submitted and the contractor who built the bridge across Crooked river just west ol the city last fail. Work on the new structure is to begin as soon as the material can be hauled to the ground. The heavy timbers will be cut at once and it is expected that as soon as they are complete and ready for use the iron and steel will be in from the railroad. Mr. Tillohson's bid was the lowest submitted to the court for action. The bids ranged from 13510 to if 5000. PRICE OF WOOL ADVANCES Present Indications Point Toward Good Figures for This Year's Clip. J. II. Gwinn, secretary of the Oregon Woolgrower's Association, is more hopeful than ever for good prices for Oregon wool this year, says the E. O. Advice from the East indicate that the same grades of wool are selling at an advance of 1 to 1 cents per pound over last years prices and that buyers are very active in contracting at present prices, which would eleor ly indicate that they expect raise, before the season's clip is disposed of. i , Mr. Gwinn has received the fol lowing figures from a Boston re view of the situation, which in dicates that all the merchants and buyers confidently exjiect a raise in price before the clip of 11)04 is marketed. 1 The Review says: ''If the Boston market lacks in terest just now in point ol sales, there is enough activity in the growing sections to mnke amends arid show that there are plenty of operators with faith in the future. Buyers ore numerous in Wyom ing and Utah, which are just now the centers of activity. The new clip is moving lively at stiff prices. At Caspar, Wyoming 13j and H cents have been paid. Choice dips have been contracted at the latter figure, that were bought last year at 13 cents. "In Utah nothing less than lat year's prices are acceptable to the growers, the range being from 13. to 15 cents, with what are called medium clips selling for 14 and lo cents. MINING ON CLINE BUTTES Work Is Being Pushed on the Gold Ledge Recently Discover ed on Those Mountains. B. E. Sherman, an experienced miner who has ranged through the mining districts of the southwest and west, was engaged by the Clinc butte miner's eommittee, to open up the newly discovered lode at the buttes. Chairman Taggart and Mr. Bobbins, of the commit tee, went down Monday and set things at work. Mr. Robbins and Eric Erickson are helping Mr. Sherman open the ledge, says the Bulletin. ' . ' . Mr. Sherman upon making a cursory examination of the ledge at its various outcroppings, said the general formation was good and he had hopes of uncovering rich rock. His first work is to drive in from the east so as to tap the lode a considerable depth. The rock thus obtained he proposes to pound into dust and then pan it so as to find the gold. TIub he thinks of more immediate practic al value than to get chemical an alyses of the rock, for it will not only reveal the presence of gold but at the same time prove that it can be separated from the base matter by ordinary modes of treat ment.
