Geerge Stevenson, local forest ran ger in the Wenaha reserve, came in Wednesday and stated that 2000 head of sheep belonging to Saunders, of Milton, are snowad in at a point north of Brock meadows. He reports that the8now was two feet deep there on Tuesday and was still falling. The herder and camp tender thought when the snow started falling that the storm would be of short dura tion, but the snow fell so rapidly that they became snow bound before: they could move. , - . Word was sent to the owner this week and it is thought that he is there by the present time. At last reports the sheep had been without feed for four days and unless they are on their way out at the present there will be a big loss. , - The sheep owned by Dave Johnson are being brought out without diffi culty. The various other bands in the higher altitudes have been driven out and "are en route to the' winter quarters. '- ' DELIVERY. La Grande, Ore. RAIfJ RETARDS .

A canceled check or warrant for S15.0O0.oix represents the payment for the Louisiana purchase tinder the treaty of 1803. ; - . The purchase under the treaty, char acterized at the time as "Seward's fol ly." of AlHMhs Ih evidenced by a war rant for 7.20O.1XKI. signed by F. B. Spinner, who at" the time whs secre tary of the tresMury. Tbe wording of tbe warrant begins and runs. "Pay to the undersigned envoy extraordinary aad minister plenipotentiary of bis majesty the emperor of all tbe Rus alus." This warrant called for pay ment In coin and was so paid through tbe'IURRs bank, then a private bank ing institution of Washington, after being indorsed by Edward de Stoecke. tbe Russian minister at that time. Tbe purchase of the Philippine Is lands from Spain Is represented in tbe Important Unsocial transactions of tbe government by 'four warrants of 6 000.000 each. As a treaty cannot be entered Into by one country directly with one with which It Is at war, the warrants' were Indorsed by Jules Cam bon. tbe French minister, who had. del ected authority to represent the Span ish government. . . The Panama canal purchase repre sented the largest financial transaction of tbe government The' payment was made by a common draft, payable to' "J.

As these canceled checks are held as receipts, It could happen, in case of their loss, that the government might not be able to show that tbe moneys were actually paid. Not less interesting as relics are "Ac counts O. Washington wltb the Unit ed States, commencing June, 1775, and ending June, 1783, comprehending a spsce of eight years." Under the cap tion are three or four dilapidated calf bound account books In tbe handwrit ing of the great American patriot These accounts were mostly kept while be was on tbe march, but they were brought up with great accuracy from day to day.

Curious Beliefs ef the taveges ef West , - ' Afriea. . West African religion la particularly generous to the human beings, to each of whom It allots several souls, four being the usual number Only one Is Immortal, however. The others, though troublesome enough during the own er's life, cease to be at the same time aa tbe body. : They are the shadow soul, the dream soul and tbe bush soul One soul seems more than, many of ua can manage, but tbe poor African has a bad time between the four of tbem, . He never knows wben some enemy , may plunge a knife Into his shadow, thus causing blm to sicken andidle, or wbn bis bush soul, which takes tbe form .of an animal, may rush Into danger and get hurt, and, aa for bis dream soul, that Is particularly troublesome, as It wanders from bis body during sleep sod runs the risk of being caught by witch traps. When this happens its place Is often taken by a nasty - stranger spirit called a "sisa," which seems to have no other object but to cause misfortune and sickness to tbe being who forms Its temporary hbltat,lan.-. - Most of the tribes have tbe Idea of an underworld after death, neither heaven bor hell, but much like the ex isting world, only dimmer. . Among tbe Tschwl tribes tbls Idea Is well defined. Their shadow world has a name Hi-nhraandayt and they even know the way to the entrance, which Is across the Vnlta river. Tbls place has its markets. Its towu and Its interests, but everything Is felt in a more Indistinct way. TRANSFER AND DELIVERY PIANO MOVING A SPECIALTY W. E. UcClure 6 Co. PHONE MAIN 10. The Modern Quick Shoe Repair '.(. .
