8overal articles have appeared In
tho Btato papors recent! concerning
tho wild dogs of Sherman county, and
tholr origin. That there are hundreds
of wild dogs there Is well known to
residents of Sherman county, but
whonco they camo but 'fow lenow.
Sherman county has an elevation of
from 1C00 to 2000 fcot. Its northern
portion rlB8 abruptly from tho Colum
bia, whllo on tho east, tho great wheat
plateau breaks abruptly down to the
John Day, and on tho wost tho De
schutes, In tho samo precipitous man
ner. As a result tho county is fringed
on each Hide with deep gulllos, high
points and basaltic bluffs, abounding
In small cavos, and sheltered dens.
Thoso two soctlans are known "as the
breaks" of tho John Day and the Do-
schutos, rospeotlvoly, and It Is In tlieeo
Inaccessible places tho. wild dogs find
a safe retroat, and from which they
room occasionally, to the damage of
tlu sheep owners.
Noarly 30 years ago George Wnl
dron, well-known to oht-tlmors east of
the mountains, owned a large ranch
near the present town of Wasco, In
Sherman county. Wnldron farmed on
a large scalo, and, In fact, had that
part of then Wasco county, almost to
hlmsolf. Thoso woro tho days when
trafllo was carried on by boats, and
Tho Dalloa was tho groat supply town
of nil Kastern Oregon. Waldron rhlp
pod his products from that point, and
received his suppllos, which he gener
ally bought In Portland, thero.
Among Waldron's other fads, nnd
ho had many, was a liking for dogs.
Ho was au enthusiastic hunter, pralrlo
chickens were plenty, and a good bird
dog so appealed to his affections, that
ho had formed the habit of appropriat
ing ovory good ono ho saw In The
Dulles, and smuggling him out to his
ranch. While gratifying this weak
ness ho ono day swiped a splendid
pointer holonglng to one of tho em
ployen of tho O. S. N. Co. When the
dog was missed suspicion nt once
polntod Its bony flngor at Waldron,
and a little Inquiry devoloped tho fact
that the dog was at Waldron's ranch,
euro enough. II. M. Heall and John S.
Schonck, now staid and respectable
hankors of The Dalles, wore nt t.mt
time In tho employ of the O. 8. N. Co..
and were looattd at The Dalle. To
them their dogless friend told his tale,
nnd they put their heads together, and
planned a fiendish rovonge.
A notice wns posted nt the wharf
boat that II. M. Iloall would pay two
bits each for nil dogs delivered to him
on the whnrf-boat. and the attention
of a couple of small beys was called
to the toa The Dalles boy then, as
he Is now, was progressive; h had his
eye, both eyes, out for the coin. The
RlAd tilling reached the uttermost
ramifications of the city In leee time
than It tnkM to tell about It. uitl
quicker even than' If told, In con
lUlenoe, to a woman. When Denll went
to tho wharf-boat tho noxt morning the
roadway for a hundred yards looked
llko tho meet of tho Kllgary hunt.
There were dozens and dozons of boys,
and oach had ono, and some two or
oven moro canines, each with visions
of coin, and ready for tho immediate
delivery of the goods upon receipt of
the cash. Boall had no Idea there were
so many dogs west of the Mississippi,
and was rathor staggered, but ho was
gamo. He consulted Sohonok, and the
two hired a man, whom they appointed
rocolvor of Tho Dalles dog harvest.
Dig packing casos, crockery crates, a
couple of hogshoads, and, In fact, al-
moat ovory kind of an object that
would hold a dog, without leaking,
was proesod into service, and the dogs
placed In thorn, with slats securely
nallod on.
For two days tho dogs kept nrrlvlng
In a decreasing Btroam, until at the
end of that time all tho dogs that woro
not In captivity had Mod to tho tall
tlmbor beyond the reach of Tho Dalloi
kids.
It was probably the most cosmopoli
tan gathorlng of dogs ovor assembled
on the earth. Thero-wero good-natured
Newfoundlands, shivering pointers,
delicate setters, silky spaniels, pugs,
with their tails curled so tight they
couldn't got their hind foot to tho
ground; gray hounds, long of limb
and gaunt of Hank, dauchhunds, with
extra coupling-polos, cur "ynllor dog,"
nnd mongrol of ovory kind, condition
nnd degroe, to tho number of several
hundred. For two days thoy ran a dog
rostaurant and lodging houso, their
ungrateful boarders nil tho time voic
ing their complaints, nnd then the
hour of tholr rovengo came. Waldron
sent in two slx-horso toams loaded
with wool, and with instructions to

Large Building

Be All Right and Per

Tho city authorities were UiIb morn
ing notified that tho brick .building,
knewn as tho old agricultural works,
and occupied by the Willamette Val
ley Prune Association ne a locnl ware
house, was In an unsafe condition. At
times ovor 100 poraons work thoro.
Chairman Pohlo, of tho committee
on streets nnd public property, togoth.
or with Chief of Police Gibson, Aldor
man Burrows, Fire Chief Johnson and
Street Commissioner Oilswold, nt once
ropalrcd to the building, and made an
examination of It.
The building has brick outside walls,
the lntorlor, from tho ground up, be
ing built on tlmbors. Tho floors ol
tho building havo sunk slightly In the
contor, and Chairman Pohlo holds
that, from tho appoaranco of the stiuc
turo, some of the timbers undornonth
must be decaying, causing tho net
tling. Tho building is filled with this
year's fruit crop, of nearly 3.000.U00
pounds of pmnos, making a heavy
load for tho floors.
Somo of tho city officers say the
structuro Is unsafe. Air. Pohlo, In
speaking about tho matter, said ho
feared if prompt stops woro not tak
on to repair and strengthen the build
ing, it would collapse, causing gioat
property damage, and, if filled nt tho
time with workmon, a frightful loss
of life would rosult. Ho advlBed tho
lessees of tho building to at onco
strengthen tho floors by putting now
tlmbors under tho structure, whore,
ho Rtntod. somo of tho timbers would
be found In extromoly bad condition.

boxes and barrols of indiscriminate

some demur, but tho agent solemnly
assured them the dogs wero ordered
by George, nnd they, knowing his fad,
finally departed with their cargo.
Whon tho teams got home Waldron
was theie, with a couple of friends,
ready to snmplo the demijohn that
alwayu accompanied each load. In
stead, thoy superintended the unload
ing of two cargoes of assorted dogs
contained In somo -10 odd packing
cases, liogshoads, etc. The slats wore
knocked off and the pilloried canlnos,
already half crazy with their confine
ment, fled yelping to the hills, assisted
In their flight by an occasional pistol
shot. They never returned to The
Dalle, and, outside of a few of tho
better ones, that found homes at tho
scattered rancheti, tho rest took to
"the breaks." The weaker onoe. thoso
not capable of rustling, soon starved,
and the tough old hustlers, were the
progenitors of the present type that
since Waldron knocked the slats off
their ancestors' prisons, have avoided

tho lowor portion of this wooden
structuro has slowly decayed until It
Is lmposslhlo for it to longer bear tho
weight on tho second floors.
The Buldlno Safe.
Manager Gilo of tho Willamette Val
ley Prunegrowors' association was
seen nnd showed a Journal reporter
all through the building. Ho decloros
there Is no cause for alarm, that thero
Is lees load In tho building than thero
has boon at othor ttmos and that
prunes are going fastor than thoy aro
coming in. Mr. Pohle ndmlts tho out
side walls nro In good condition and
the slightest sottllng of tho pillars
on wood In the center is nothing, Mr.
Glle says, but what takes place each
year, and has taken place this year
In the new warehouses that the com
pany has built nt Roseburg and Van:
couver. Last year the same sottllng
wus noticed nnd some became alarm
ed and quit work, but soon roturned.
Investigation showed that the coment
piers under the upright posts had set
tled in same places and the foundation
wus reinforced. Superintendent Drown
of tho Water Co., who owns tho build
ing, gave the foundation a thorough
overhauling and pronounced It safe.
Tho principal load Is now In the base
ment within a few inches of the
ground. The settlement of the build
in has been so slight this year thai
it gas not affected the shafting that
eurriw powr to all parti, of the
building.
The reporter found that iu many
y)tto the t&tement ef the building
had been reinforced with heavy tim
ber, ami apparently every precau
tion has been taken to make the
structure safo. As the heaviest load
ha been carried for this season, and
the prune are Doing but faster titan
they are coming In. there seems to be
no dagger at present of a 'collapse.
Wttk the crop gtowlng earn yar. the
building will have to Ue given a
tkftrwgh reeonetructlou next season
before the crop of 1W4 le packed.
Tke building no been fitted with
wheat In the past and that is a
heavier product than prune nnd stood
the strain without Injury.
(Portland Orogonlan, Oct. 29.)
"To the medium of filoe as carrlorB of
infection, is attributed tho prova
lonco of typhoid fovor in a district ot
EaEt Portland that heretofore has boon
considered ono of the healthiest In tho
city. That flics carry typhoid fevei
geims on tholr loga and transmit thom
to the systoms of porsons, through tho
food that is eaten, has boon proved
boyond a doubt. Typhoid fevor has
become almost an epidemic In tho vi
cinity of East Nineteenth and Halsey
st cots, and the disease, it is claimed,
was taken thoro by fllos from a grad
era camp not far away.
"It. G. Hamilton, who lives In that
vicinity, hns boon aflllctcd with ty
phoid for woeks, and nearly a dozon
othor persons havo hod it. As tho
sanitary conditions of that district aro
good, tho roBldonts arc at a loss to ac
count for tho outbreak of tho malady.
The physicians In Investigating the
causo, ascertained that among tho
graders camped near by thero woro
two or throe cases of tho fever. Fllos
camo In contnet with infected' rofuao
mattor, thon transmitted tho germs to
food that was oaten by thoso who
later developed the disease.
"That fllos aro ono of tho greatest
known sources of distribution or ty
phoid, Is n comparatively now theory
In tho medical worjd, but tests havo
bosn made to provo the correctness ot
It. It Is well-known that typhoid ba
cilli llvo In filth, and tho outbreak ot
the malady in a district of porfoct san
itation nnd cloanllnoss has ofton
caused medical men to bo puzzled to
oxplaln tho causo. Thon camo tho fly
theory.
"In a city whore typhoid was develop
ing at tho rato of half a dozon caBos a
day, a test was rocontly made. Flvo
fllos woro caught In a room whero a
typhoid patient lay. The logs of tho
Insects woro tosted, and It was found
that throo of tho Ave fllos had tholr
legs covorod with gorms.
Boyond Indulging In somo foolish
talk to tho detriment of this city,
what has the state board of health ac
complished? Thoy havo proved by tholr own
test that the Salem water supply is
pure, but not one of thom has had tho
manhood to publicly admit that fact.
AfSnlom typhoid fevor was attribu
ted to tho contamination of tho wator
supply, and thon tho contamination
was shown not to oxlst.
Driven Into n cornor tl'ioy now ad
vance a new theory, that the common
house fly Is the cause of the opldemlo
at Portland.
At Salem It was water. "At Portland
It Is flies. At the next place It will
probably be halroll.
