A hor rible holocaust in which nearly 000 sheep were consumed occurred about 75 miles southwest of here in tho remote interior of Wheeler countv. The ghastly affair took place about two weeks ago, but there baa been little communica tion between Heppner and that district since, and word of the cruel disaster has just reached here. Tbe sheep belonged to a stock- man named W. F. Nelson, a resi dent of the Mitchell country, who inadvertrntly was tbe cause of his own loss. Nelson's sheep were running on Winter range around his home ranch, and during tbe colder spells were sheltered under a large shed. This particularly cold day, Nelson, while tending the sheep, accompanied by his chil dren, built a fire in the shed. He thought he put it out when they all tent home at night. Later that night XoIhod's sheep herder appeared and found the fire reviving. The herder thought he, too, had extinguished it when he went home. Then a gale b!ew up and fanned the dying embers to a blaze. The Hhed caught fire and there was no one near. Nelson's house was far removed, and not a soul heard the struggling and crying of the burn ing sheep. A scene of desolation with hun dreds of crisp and blistered car casses awaited the owner wben he reappeared. Four hundred were dead. Tro hundred more were either fatally burned or badly scorched.

Consumption Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy' for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive co and ioo years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemod. ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Fecdincr. him u in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is sonic. thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos- phites in Scott s Emulsion that puts new life ' into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs A sample will be sent free upon request. no RiirR that this ntoturfl In the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of EmuUion you buy.

(The largest, I ever saw.) We left tbe Mole at 8 :80 a. m., a very nice sunny morning, and were feeling "Hlyn Klaske." Everything went very nicely for a time. In paeaing one of tbe su burbs of Oakland, a very proper ap pearing young lady came aboard. Beats were In demand at advanced prlcea.and through forca of circumstances tbe aforesaid person was obliged to share tbe seal with a very gentlemanly and somewhat aged gentleman, directly op posite myself and better one-half. We felt quite relieved at this bappy con summation, for it always grated very unpleasantly on our nerves to see a lady standing, looking hopelessly up and down tbe aisle for an opportunity. Well) very soon we began to hear some congratulations fro'u our neigh bors. "Ah I indeed! I want to know! Well, Well, etc., etc., ad lib." "Ob yes; I have been teaching Id Oakland for eight years and I am going now to visit ray people In Los Angeles. Indeed ; well, I am going to visit one of my daughters who is teaching in Los Angeles. Ob, yes; my eldest daughter has been teaching in Denver for live years, ant, and bow nice" Now I 6tood this for about a huod.-cd miles und then I began to feel quite thirdly. I, wont out and wet up a time ur two, but like Brakenbury, I was tor mented after death. Every now and ihun it .would break out in a fresh place. The subject was discussed from both ends, then they would begin 16 tbe middle and renearso both ways. "In--ido here and ouiside there, forward and back, swing, and down the outside, elc., etc." Just think of this for a moment, for a person having lived for over a quarter of a century in a climate proverbial for its humidity, enduring a subject of this kind (or nino long consecutive hours. over 240 miles across tbe dry, bot, Sand-Walk-in Plains." Huldy Ann, (She's my wife.) I guess saw something in my eye sand maybe and she must have expected that the unexpected might happen nnless there was a radical chaoge. So ebe sug gested we lay over at Fresno. That was a great relief. I should never have thought of it. So we stopped off at Fresno. We took a carriage for the Blank hotel. That was a good name for it. After a few minutes rest we took dinner, 6:30 p. m., and were en joying a lot of nice dlabss (Stone China I think) and had accomplished about two-tbirds of what we set out to do, when, what do you think? "Well, sir, I am a sinner it that Inferno, that Sahara, that sleuth-hound contingency, didn't come and sit down to the .very table at which we were dining. The old gutitleman, after being seated, half faced around to his companion and said, as if continuing the conversation. "Yes, my oldest daughter." Well, right there the long suffering Camel's back broke. I tried to think of Jonah, Moses, Daniel and Job, but there has got to be a limit, and my will power, my moral courage suddenly gave way. I broke completely down. I could not say much. 1 did not feel like talking. It might have been wrong; I don't know. I did not wish to be irreverent, but I could not help it, on your life, so I just said " ." I swallowed about half a biscuit the wrong nay, and asked Huldy Ann to excuse me.
