Unharmed after wandering eight miles iuto the sage brush and spending two nighta without food or shelter, a 19 months old boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrenoe of near Caldwell, Idaho, was found Monday morning by a searching party and safely returned to the anxious parents. v ' The little fellow was missed from home shortly after 6 o'clook Saturday evening. Searob was begun and con tinued all night Harold Hawthorn, with bis horse, finally found the little one eight miles east of its home. He was searching in that direotiou with a party, but others had turned baok, de claring the child could not have travel ed so far. However, he pushed on. He found some haby tracks, but these were soon lost Be kept on, leading bis horse and selecting what seemed tbe most probable route. : After he had gone half a mile from tbe point where bis companions both left him, be heard a child's voioe say ing, "pretty pony; baby ride pony." Looking over tbe sagebrush Haw thorn saw the little one standing there unconcerned and reaoning out bis arms to him. He picked it up and' hurried to the top of tbe ridge, from which he signalled. ; While the others galloped to notify the parents, Hawthorn put the ohild in his saddle and started baok. He had a bottle of milk from which the child partook ravenously until he took it away. Tbe feet aud legs of the little one were ecratobed, but it was other wise none the worse for its experience. THE MARCH OF THE GREEN BUG Kansas Wheat Crop Good For Only Eight Bushels per Acre. Reports of damage to winter wheat in Kansas formed the chief reason for renewed streugtb in the Cbioago wheat market. At the close wheat for September delivery was l-2o higher. Corn showed a net gaiu of 8 8o. Oats were 3-4o higLer. . Provisions were up a shade to 12 l-2o. , Advices from Kansas City were de cidedly pessimistic, declaring that in jury was caused by green bugs and unfavorable weather. The new crop will not rnu more tbau eight bushels to tbe acre. Repoits from Oklahoma, where threshing is already begun, claimed tbat the yield in that state is very disappointing, averaging from three to five bushels per acre. These advioes were supplemented by reports from the spring wheat country tbat an army of green bugs is advancing with great rapidity through tbe wheat fields of Minnesota and the Dakotas. This news held the market strong almost all day. A decrease of 3.500,000 bushels in the world's visible supply as shown by Bradstreet's was another bullish influence. Trading was aotive all day. , City Pumpiug Water. , Tbe oity of Athena is pumping water into the reservoir. Tbe using of tbe well water is but temporary, and is necessary for the reason tbat the iu take pipes at tbe head of tbe gravity system have become clogged with soil or else have been crushed. The crush ing of tbe pipe, whiob is manufactur ed of burnt clay, could result, from weight of earth settling down in the ditohes, after tbe pipe had beoome porous and soft. A force of men 'tire making repairs and the gravity system will soon be in use again. Wednesday but one foot of water remained in tbe reservoir, aod pumping was, at once resorted to.

OREGON LAW NOT QUESTIONED Contention Over SpecialProvision That Sheep From Other States Be Sipped Three Times.-, ' Advioes from Walla Walla state there is muob rejoioibg among tbe members of the Wenaha Woolgrowers' association there over the decision of Jndga Wolverton granting them,tho temporary restraining order asked for in tbe federal court at Portland against the enforcement of tbe ruins of the Oregon sheep commission. The wel come news was contained ' in a brief dispatch sentby Attorney H. C Bry- son, president of the association, who had gone to Portland with Attorney Oscar Cain to file other papers in the case pending tbe decision. He wired as, follows:" "Won both oases in the , federal court, the decision being prac tically that compliance witb govern ment regulations for interstate move ment of sheep is sufficient." At the last session of the Oregon legislature a law was enacted provid ing tbat all sheep witbin tbat state should be dipped at least onceeaoh year between April 1 and August 1, with tome standard dip approved by the state sheep commission for scab, aud tbat after the year 1907 healthy sheep in the state of Oregon shall not be required to be dipped. It also pro vides that if tbe weather is such as tov. make the dipping unsafe Oregon sheep need not be dipped. But it was tbe sneoial uroviaion of the act which makes it possible to ex-' olude outside sheep tbat tbe Washing ton sheepmen declared to be manifestly unjust, as it provides: "If tbe state sheep board so deolares all sheep from other states shall be dipped' three times." They contend tbat snob a re quirement is not only unjust but would amount to a practical exclusion of all sheep from other states, as three dip pings would entail such an expense as to drive sheepmen outside ot Oregon out of the business. . , The Washington sheopmen will now proceed to drive their flocks to, tbe . ranges to whiob tbey have boon, as signed, but will prepare to comply with the law, onoe iu tbe state, tbe same as resident sheepmen of tbe state of Oregon. Tbe Wenaha sheopmen olaim tbat they have dipped their sheep and had them inspected by a govern ment inspector while iu tbe state of Washington and that tbey are free , from scab and consequently there is no occasion for further dipping, wbiob would be both dangerous and expen sive and would serve no good purpose. Tbey propose to fight out the proposi tion along these lines. But in tbe de cision of Judge Wolverton it is only tbe regulation of the Oregon sheep commission that is questioned, while the law and the proclamation of the governor are upheld. . , . J T J Interest on Road Warrants. , , County Treasurer Bradley, annonno es that owing to the faot that the road fund bad all been exhausted, hereafter , be would register al warrants present ed and tbat they would draw interest at tbe i ate of six per ceut from date of registration. At the Jane term of court claims against tbe road fund, amounting to more than $11,000 were allowed and the warrants issued in payment therefor soon exhausted tbe supply of cash on hand. ' As there is not very much money pouring into tho treasury at this season of the year, it will probably be several months before many of the rood warrants are cashed by the treasurer. . .. 5 : '.''Boy'a Arm Broken. i Cecil Bell, tbe little son of'MrVfcnd Mrs. II.
