Robie Cabin, No. 33 Native Sons
of Oregon, has fully investigated
the facts relative to the first saw
mill erected in Harney Valley and
who put in the first crop of grain
of any importance and finds that
the mill on Mill creek never was a
"goverment mill," but was brought
from Silver City and erected by
A. H. Robie and the first ground
broken was for Mr. James J. Cozort
on Coffee Po Creek in 1867. It

Miller t Lux Retire.
Information from a thoroughly
reliable source has comu into the
possession of Tlje Examiner to the
effect that on April 4, 1901, Miller
4 Lux, the big cattle dealers, leased
to J. W. Howard, the cattleman of
the Deschutes, the Lane and
Sharon ranches at Silver Lake
and Sican, this county, held under
lease by Miller & Lux. The leases
will hold until January 1, 1904
It was the intention f Miller &
Lux to restock the Silver Lake
ranches, held by them, during the
coming spring, but as Mr. Howard
offered to take the lenses off their
hands at the origiual cost, a deal
was enecieu wncreuy me lands
passed into tho hands of the
Deschutes man. This makes final
the retirement of Miller & Lux
from the Silver Lake section of

A Vale dispatch to the Oregoniun
dated April 16 says that promising
indications of oil have been found
at Carters, Malheur county, W)
miles south of there. Tlio
conditions aro so favorable that a
company of Boise men has been
formed, and development will begin
in about three months. W. &
Carlton owns the lands where the
oil is believed to exist.
Tho clerk abuse at the recent
session of tho Legislature was
abominable says tho Oregoniun.
It absorbed $22,000, of which sum
twothirds was wholly unnecessary.

More service and belter than was
rendered by all the clerks on tho
pay-rolls of the Legislature could
be hired in any private business

members of the Legislature were as

gieatest. Is it not possible to
improve the quality of men sent to
the Legislature? Shall we never
again see in public place men who
will deal with the public funds as

A suggestion of real benefit to
the stockraiser of eastern rections
of the state is the visit now in pro
gress of an agent of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the purposu
of studying the poisonous plants in
digenous to tliBt region. Tho ob
ject is primarily to locate theso
plat', and then to find, if possible,
antidotes to theso special poisons,
to the end that stockmen may lie
able to minimize their losses from
this cause. Knowledge in this, as
in other things, is power, and while
from the exigencies of the case own
ers of stock have found for them
selves somo remedies for plant-
poisoning, they will be grateful for
instruction based upon a wider
knowledge of the .nature and treat
ment of plant poison. Oregonian.
