Crook County Journal THURSDAY, FEB. 21, 1907. SubacrlpUoa 11.50 jmt. Ko nosil since January 31st and no prospects of any. That U, no mail of any coneoquence. On February 16 a few sacks of letter mail was receWed by way of Dufur but with this exception it is twenty-one days since we hs.T got outside mail. Patience will soon cease to be a virtue. Stacks of mail sacks are lying at Biggs awaiting to be taken to Bhaniko. Freight teams are daily making the trip and people are wondering why Uncle Sam doeent get a move on himself and send our mail that way. Yesterday word reached us by telephone that there was another big washout on the 0. R. & N. and that it would be ten or twelve days before the Columbia South ern would be ready for traffic This report was the straw that put the camel out of action. Our business men got busy and sent in some red hot messages to Will Wuriweiler who is in Portland asking him to camp on the trail of the postal inspector for this dis trict and not to leave it until the mail at Bices was moving in this direction. A copy of the Moro Observer which was printed about three weeks ago gives the first authentic news of the floods that have play ed havoc with the Columbia South ern. The Observer says: "There could be no prettier snow fall than that which visited a large extent of Sherman county this week; 15 inches of pure quality on the dead level, without a drift any where in sight It was just the ideal for sleighing; but alas, it could not be so. The ground was frozen too hard to receive it as additional moisture, and Wednesday it began to move off toward the Columbia river at a roaring pace in thape of dirty water, destructive of every thing in its path. Pass ing Lone Rock, east of Moro, the flood was said to be 10 feet deep; at De Mots, below Moro, 6 feet deep between the poetotfice and depot; at Grass Valley, 11 miles south of this city, 4 feet." Redmond Items. Sisters Happenings. To the Editor of the Journal We are enjoying the sunshine. Our 22 inches of snow has di minished to 6 inches. Miss Clara Heely of Haystack, is visiting relatives here this week, Joe Wilson left Saturday for a short stay at Laidlay. The county division temperature has been lowered several degrees within the past few days. The St. Valentine ball on the 14th was well attended. People from different parts of the county were present and report a splendid time. It is music to listen to the hum of the crosscut saw, especially when Taylor and Graham are at the handles along side of a grog shop with the bartender gone and the back door open. James and Georce Taylor of Bear creek, were visiting their brother of this place the latter part of the week. They report the snow all gone at that place and say that stock are doing well. D. L. Miller and wife of this place left Friday for Tygh valley and The Dalles. Later on they will go to Montana where Mr. Mil ler will act as an agent of the In ternational Conservatory of Music We wish him success. ine people oi tnis place are anxious for their mail. None from the east has arrived for two weeks. It may be that Japan has declared war against Uncle Sam and has him done to a turn before this. We know nothing to the contrary. Hardy Allen of this place met with an accident Thursday even ing while milking his cow. For some reason not known to Hardy his bovine friend jolted him one just below the left eye. It is not yet clear to his mind whether the cow used two or four legs. Legs and stars were plentiful about that time. The Man Looking roR a Job. Redmond, Or., Feb, 18, 1907. Mr. Beeeing of Sisters was a business caller in Redmond Thursday. Mrs. P. K. Simons entertained several of her friends Thursday evening. Mr. Wright of Frineville, was through here Friday bound for Cline Falls. The Kucher Club meets this week with Mrs. Geo. Wood, on Thursday as usual. It is reported that Mr. John Meredith of Cline Falls will soon move to Portland. Mr. McCaffery and J. 11. Ehret are busily engaged in putting up a residence for the former. Mr. Landes was in Prineville Thursdav and Friday, Mr. Gates Saturday and Yours Truly will try it today. There is now a plentiful supply of water in the canal and laterals and water hauling from the river is over for another season. Mrs! Reed who haa been enjoy ing good health for some time, had another attack of her old trouble last week. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Jones gave a dance Saturday night after the Woodmen meeting. It was well attended and everybody had good time. We were very pleasantly sur prised at receiving a small batch of mail Saturday night from east ern points, coming in by way of Dufur. Mr. Bnckley and a force of car penters haw been busy the past few davs putting up a barn to ac commodate the staee company horses. Travel through here is rather light just at present, but Carl Ehret managed to get over the fence some way or other and got in on the stage Thursday night. It isTeported that Percy Walzer has bought Mr. Wright's team and will farm this summer. We won der whether Mrs. Walzer OT Percy will preside at the cook stove. The north and south road through here has been viewed and chained as petitioned for and it now seems probable that we are soon to be able to go somewhere on a legal basis. The blacksmith shop in Red mond is again open for business at the old stand. Bring in your horses and have them shod, have your plows sharpened and get your tools ready for spring work. Seeding time will soon be here. The carpenter work at the experi ment farm is nearly completed. Mrs. Renehan is expected home be fore long and Mr. R. is busy get ting things in shape to receive her. We understand that Mr. R. will have two helpers to assist him in carrying on the farm. Yours truly, E. C. Park. public rangv the theep are to l returned to the state they came from at the exHne of the owner, and such an owner is liable to be fined from $500 to 5000 for sending diseased sheep into this state.

I wish to eay to Mother Peck that it is news to me that either she or anyone eke ever grubbed any sagebrush for me at Haystack. If the church made a donation party to pay me for my services she had nothing to do with that as she was not a church member And if the Workman Lodge made my wire fence while I was down with la grippe she was not a mem ber of the lodge. I spent $300 im proving that ranch and sold the improvements for $150, and never thought of anyone questioning my right to do so. Homer M. Street. A Stringent Law. Grazing of sheep owned by non residents of Oregon on public or state lands of this state is declared to be within the regulation of the police power of the state and sub ject to the control of the legislature by senate bill 24, prepared by Sen ator Hart of Baker county. Non-resident owners of sheep are required to secure licenses from county stock inspectors before they can let their sheep graze on the public ranges of Oregon, and if they attempt to graze their sheep without a license the owners are liable to a fine from $100 to $500, or imprisonment in the connty jail from one to six months or both. The license fee is placed at 20 cents tor each sheep, the money to be paid to the state school fund. Application for license must be made to the stock inspector of the county where the range is sought. The application must state the number of sheep to be grazed, their brands and whether thev are healthy or diseased. Issuing li cense for grazing diseased sheep is prohibited.
