Puffer, of Portland, while he was on a business trip in Mexico, raw the great national New Tear's day bullfight. Mr. Puffer states it was the most cruel exhibition that It was ever his misfortune to witness. Five bulls were tortured and killed, but before they were finally dispatched the enraged animals gored to death three horses. The bullfight took place in the City of Mexico.

MAKES BIG SHEEP DEAL J. E. Edwards Becomes Sole Owner 'of tie Baldwin Ranch. J. is. Edwards, of Hay Creek, has bought out the interests of C. W. Cart- wright and J. P. Van Houten In the Bald win Sheep & Land Company, located In the vicinity of Hay Creek. The property involved is one of the largest sheep ranches in the United States, and on It are raised more thoroughbreds than on any other ranch in the world. The com pany was organized by Dr. Baldwin, of California. 2S years ago, and since then has passed throtigh the hands of several owners. During the greater part of the time It has proved a very valuable hold ing. The ranch, which lies between the Deschutes and the John Day rivers. Is 55 miles from Shaniko. It Is surrounded by many miles of fence and contains 30.000 acres of deeded land. Between 200.000 and 300,000 pounds of wool are clipped from its herds annually. In the dull sea son 50 men are employed and In clipping time as many as 100. Raising thoroughbreds is the chief aim of the company, which owns 25,000 to 30.000 head of merino sheep of the Ram- boulet. Delaine and Spanish varieties. Many cars of these are raised and shipped out each season for breeding purposes. Mr. Edwards has been part owner of the property for the past five years, and the purchase by him of his partners' inter ests, which was consummated on Satur day, makes him sole owner. Mr. Edwards was at the Portland over Sunday and left for the ranch last night. MME. GADSKTS POWER. It Appeals to the Musical and Un musical in Peculiar Fashion. Personality has perhaps as much to do with a singer's success as voice. Johanna Gadski has that rare personal magnetism which wins every heart. 4 She is a beautiful woman, whose grace of style, shown in a thousand pretty a! lurements. compels admiration even be fore her voice is heard. Add to this the delight that comes from listening to a voice of unusual freshness, purity and sweetness that has not its superior on the concert stage today, and one will under stand the transports that always charac terize a Gadski audience. On Wednesday, January IS. lime. Gadski will be heard at the First Baptist Church In a return recital, an opportu nity that the musical public Is looking forward to with the greatest eagerness. Seats are now selling at Ellens Piano House, 351 Washington street. WHERE TO DIRE.

It was written nearly 20 years ago, and has been presented thousands of times throughout the country. It is formal dress-suit affair of society and politics.

He was rendered uncon sclous and must have lain there for some time. He was discovered by several peo nle who were on their way to the Empire Theater.

The man weighs 200 pounds, and If Officer Smith had not been a giant in strength and stature he would have been unable to have carried the injured man out of the basement. Switzer was first taken to a near-by rooming-house, but when an ex amination was made it was found that his left leg was broken below the knee and that he was severely cut about the forehead.

Barrett Miss Edna Ward Those two capacity houses which filled the Empire yesterday afternoon and even ing demonstrate the American love for good melodrama. This Is what the "Jolly American Tramp" Is a mighty good melodrama, bubbling over with well-se lected and excellent specialties. "The American Tramp" (Joseph Kearney), even if he Is starred as a relic of the circus. Is a clever comedian, and he made a, tre mendous hit with the people who crowded in to the galleries, while thosftjkmnstalrs wanted him on theTftagp alhlfhe time.

The large audiences auicklv fell in love with little Flo and felt keenly the sorrows of her mother. Robert New combc made a very creditable Job Bar rett. He played the part of the villain. role that Is difficult because the front of the house Is always against him. Miss. Bernyce Childs, the other woman In the case, handled her part, one even more dif ficult to portray than that of the vllllan. with an ease that stamps her as a talent ed actress. It was Mr. Kearney's Happy Jack, his songs and his ability to get in and out of trouble and readlhess to help Flo and her mother out of the clutches of Job Barrett that was the favorite with the audience. Madge Wood In the character of a friend In need, was one Indeed, and her charac terization of an Irish woman with plenty of blarney and brogue helped to enliven the' four acts. The specialties are as good as the melo drama and are alone worth the price of admission. Flo sings "Good Bye, Little Girl. Good-Bye," and also helps Happy Jack and Delia do a clever stunt in "The Queen of the Regiment." Kearney's songs electrified tha house, and he could have been singing yet If he had continued re sponding to the applause. These spe cialties are Interwoven through the four acts of the play, but they are not down so that the theme Is lost. While the au dience Is laughing at the songs and ec centric stunts done by Happy Jack, It re members that Mrs. Job Barrett Is still at the mercy of her husband. It Is not until the last act, when the mother and little Flo are rescued and the $32,000 In surance, which at all times is a factor in the play, turned over to mother and daughter, that the audience feels at ease. There Is a realistic struggle In the last act that Is well done by Mr. Newcombe and Mr. Livingston. It Is a real hand-to-hand battle for the possession of a knife, and It takes a shot from a revolver In the hands of Happy Jack to settle the struggle and put the villain out of com mission. "A Jolly American Tramp" will be at the "Empire tonight and Tuesday evening. UNION EEYIVAL CLOSES. Evngellst Gilliam Bids Portland Fare well After Successful Services.

At an early hour .yesterday fire broke out In the basement of the West build ing, on Grand, avenue and East Alder street, occupied by W. H. Markell as general merchandise store.' Before the blaze was extinguished the goods stored there were damaged to the amount of about J120O. Through the prompt work of the department the fire was confined to the basement. The building was not damaged, nor was the stock on the main floor injured. Mr. Markell carries $11,000 insurance on his entire stock, valued at $30,000. and hence his loss Is covered. The fire start ed well to the back part of the basement. where there were cases of rubbers, dishes and other articles. The proprietor thinks it probable the blaze was caused through a match being thrown thoughtlessly on the floor. County Bureaus at Fair. SALIJfA. Kan.. Jan. 4. (To the Editor.)

Every county should have a bureau of information at the Fair and arrange excursions twice a week to the county, so that intending settlers may talk and deal direct with the landowners. The people have more confidence In men they are certain have no land to sell than In the ordinary real es tate man. Counties that arrange to take the Fair visitors on a trip are the counties that will scoop up the most settlers. A. a NEWELL.
