Buff made a special trip from Pendleton to get Ribbon and take him home, paying the price that such animals are worth. Hull' has ridden on the range with the Howard boys and knows them in ramp and on the trail, knows the kind of stock they ride and how their horses are trained, knows them by the back, like the gam bler knows the deck. While at Westfall, Buff dreamed that Jim Howard had died, and that the sky pilot who preached the funeral had said that Jim was in heaven. The next morning Buff wrote a poem on Jim's death, and tnis is now it ran: That's his saddle on the tie-beam, ThenVhjs spurs up there On the waifc. ,ate over yonder You'll see they aint a pair. But the daddy of all Cowboys That ever came right in here Was killed on the Westfall Butte, Hulldogging a Texas steer. They say he's gone to heaven And thrown off his worldly cares, But I can't sight Jim in heaven, Set up on three blinded hairs. In heaven what next, I wonder? for strike me pink and blue If I savvy what in thunder They'll find that Jim can do. He'd never make one of them angels, With faces as white as chalk, All wool to the toes like hoggets And wings like an eagle hawk. He couldn't harp for apples, Tor his voice had tones that jarred Had no more ear for music Than culves in a branding yard. But he'd set on a bucking broncho Like a nob on an easy chair, And ride old Ribbon with a green hide rope To the flank of a Texas steer. He could show them saints in glory The way a rope should drop, But set on a throne? not Jimmy Unless they'd put in a prop. If them heavenly horses gets boxed, Like cattle will round the rim, Who'd cut 'em out like Jimmy, Or ride on a camp like Jim ? A cowboy would find it awkward at first, To ride with a push that flew, But hang my cats if I know what else They'd find for Jim to do. He might freeze to a seraph Or chum with the cherubim But if ever them seraph Johnnits Co poking fun at him, If there is a rope in heaven And hide to make a quirt, He'll yard the lot in Westfall lake In a blinding lightning squirt. It's hard if there aint no racehorse, But perhaps they might let. him sleep And wake him up on judgment day To part the goats and sheep. It would be playing low with Jimmy, But perhaps he would buckle to Just to show them heavenly stockmen What a We.itfall man can do. If they'll fit him out with a snaffle And a four or five inch spur, And eighty foot of green hide, He'll rope the blinded fur.

PORTLAND, Ore., Apr. 16 (Spec al to the Enterprise.) Reports say on April 1 812,808 prisoners of war were being held In Germany. Germany will pay for the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye by the converted cruiser Prlnz Eltel I Frledrlch. Destruction of the German subma rine U-29 by the British Is accepted by the Berlin war officials as explana tion for the failure of the vessel to re turn from her last cruise. An authoritative denial has been re celved from The Hague of the report In circulation ia London that the re latlons between Holland and Germany had reached the breaking point The French offensive In the Woevre which according to official reports continues to make progress, although the Germans reiterate that all the French attacks have been repulsed, Is believed to be only the prelude to big general effort in the west. Berlin reports the capture of three villages on the Yser canal and the failure of French attacks In the Ar gonne, but the French say they have captured a section of a German trench In that region. The French admit the loss of some trenches previously cap tured from the Germans In the Mont- mare wood. Les Eparges, occupied by the French after a series of desperate enEaee ments costing countless lives, has again come under the fire of the Ger man guns. It is here that General Joffre, the French commander, is bringing his strength to bear on the German wedge to force it out of the allies' side, so that the allied line that stretches In front of the great German fortress of Metz may be straightened. In the cast, although the Russians have occupied the principal positions in the western sections of the Carpa thians, there Is one height, known as height 992, which they have not been able to master. Nevertheless they are reported to be moving down the west ern slope and in a fair way to make an advance Into Hungary. REAL BATTLE ON HUNGARIAN SIDE ' MAL11KUR KNTEltPRtSE S,tll"'v y.

BEN J. BROWN. Sheriff, By Ross A. Soward. ... ... Deputy. rirst publication April 17, IDlft. Lust publication May l.r, l:U5, Washington. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, made public the text of the note he recently pre sented to the state department, declar ing that " if the American DeoDle da. sire to observe thorough neutrality they will find means to stop the ex clusive exportation of arms to one side, or. at least, to use this export trade as a means to uphold the legiti mate trade with Germany, especially the trade In foodstuffs." The ambassador, In his complaint, Informs the United States that, con trary to th real spirit of neutrality. an enormous new Industry of war ma terial of every kind la being built up in this country, and that this Is "sup plying only Germany's enemies, a fact which Is in no way modified by the purely theoretical willingness to fur nish Germany as well, if it were possi ble." In replying to Germany this govern ment will maintain that such action Is within its rights. The posltloa will ho taken, that, inasmuch as the allied fleets have mastered the seas, an em bargo upon the exportation of arms would be in the Interest of Germany and that Great Britain. France and UusHia would consider such an act unneutral. t,ondon. The real battle, on the out- ome of which depends the success of Russia's campaign for the invasion of Hungary, has begun on the southern dopes of the principal chain of the Carpathians, down which the Czar's seemingly endless columns have start ed, following their capture of the last heights after several weeks of the most terrific fighting sf the European war. Even more vicious than the stub born battle that waged for the control -f the Carpathians is the beginning of the new phase of the conflict on the southern slopes, as it Is here that the Austro Germans must stop the Rus sians or be thrown back, when Hun gary will be at the mercy of the In vaders, according to military observ ers. It Is believed the defenders have thrown every available man into the battle, as heavy relnforcemeuts re- I cently have been brought up In an ef fort to check the Russian advance. The latter, on the other hand, too, have filled their depleted first ranks wun numberless troops from ently an Inexhaustible reserve. Recent losses on each side have been appalling and prospects are that the enormity will increase with the growing fury of the conflict on the southern side of the mountains. The Austro-Germans have made a terrible counter attack. The Russians swept them aside, according to the of ficial Petrograd report. n H tf H R B The Malheur Forwarding Co.
