Trouble Is not Between Cattle and Sheepman but Between Cattle men and Farmers in Morrow. For several years there has been trouble between cattle and sheep men in Grant, Wheeler and adja cent counties over the range prob lem and a great many nheep have been killed in consnjtience. new phase of the question has just been rcsirto(l from Morrow conn ty where one of the biggest stock- sliiKiting affair that has ever oc- cured in that county has leaked out. The owners of the stock have kept quiet about the killing but, ii the meantime, have been (uietly working to sucurc evidenc to convict the guilty parties. Ben Bwaggart, the well known stockman, and the largest breeder of horses in Eastern Oregon, is the owner of the cattle. When be learned of the shouting he went to the scene and found 30 head dead, all piercer! with rifle balls. The cattle were ranging in what is known as the sand country along the Columbia, but had worked back into the farming districts, east of lone, where the shooting -occurred only a few miles from town. The shooting apparently was not over any trouble between cattlcand horsemen, but accurred in a dis trict that is fenced and farmed. The fences are generally poor and the fiirniiM have heen greatly an noyed by rang" cattle breaking in and destroying their crops. This is the supposed cause fur iiie shooting. ANOTHER LAW IS VOID The Attorney General Savs Ore gon Law in Favor of. Assessor- Is of No Effect. Attorney General Crawford on the 27th rendered an opinion in an answer to a request from Dis trict Attorney George M. Brown, of Roseburg, in which he bolds that the law requiring banks to give assessors a list of depositor is void. Mr. Crawford in part says: "The legislative assembly has, in my opinion, the power to comiel the ollicers of a hanking institution or express company or association doing business within this state to furnish a list nf depositors to the assessor, but in the present in stance, I think the attempt to pass an act failed. The title is, 'An act to eniiower assessors to assess hank deposits' The body of the act is to compel the officers of the bank to furnish a list of its depositors, and providing a fine if they fail to do so on the request of the assessor. The subject of the act under consideration is to au thorize assessors to assess bank deposits. The body of the act re quires the assessor to call upon bank officers and procure a sworn statement of the name of deposit ors. And fine such officers if they fail to furnish it. In my opinion, the body of the act is -lot germane to the title, and the act is void." DIXIE MEADOWS Six Feet of Rich Ore Has Just Been Struck. Many of our readers have large holdings in the Dixie Meadows and the following from the Blue Mountain American, will, no doubt he of interest to them: "A higher grade body of ore is reported to have been opened on the lower adit level of the Dixie Meadows mine the past week. A mine operator who came in from Quartzhurg said- that the strike was made while cross-cuittng for the hanging wall of the main lode. Most of the Dixie Meadows work ing adits have been on or near the foot wall. As the work of proving the ore body progresses, crosscuts are made to the hanging. One of these, it will lie remembered, pass ed through about .VI feet of quartz Wore the hanging was reached, and the management estimated that it would lie able to mill alwut 25 feet of this entire width. The Ih'sI pay stuff at this point was on the foot, the rich grade being directly on the slate, and in the form of a very dark sulphide, show ing a marked contrast to the felds pathic gangue of the remainder of the lode. The latest report from the projierty indicates that fuH six feet of shipping stuff was cut on the hanging wall. How far this crosscut was from the one proving such enormous width of the lode, or whether it is merely an exten tion of the long crosscut, proving the richest large body of ore yet opened in the property to lie le yond where work had yet progress ed, is not set forth in the early in formation. The strike has much significance. The management has made no statement as to values carried, but Tumor has it that the average for six feet, where work has gone, is f50 per ton. This would lie good shipping material, with Tipton a near depot and if it is to be run through the concen trator, would enrich a large amount of the low and medium grade ma terial that otherwise wonld lie available." FREIGHT TO COM E THIS WAY Hums Merchants Are Preparing to Ship via Prineville Early in the Spring. F. H. Watts, of The Dalles, who lias been in the city during the past week stated that some of the largest merehantile firms in Burns were making arrangements to haul their freight through this city from haniko beginning early in the spring, air. Mails has spent the past three months in the vicinity nf Burns where general dissatis faction with" the merchants at Huntington is expressed. Three of the business firms which have concluded to make the change in shipping routes are: Voegtly A' Co., Miller & Haynos, and Ludclverg A Da Hon. TheBe three shippers are among the heavest freighters in Burns and the change made in bringing their merchandise by the way ol Prineville means a considerable increase of business at this point. MILL NEAR BEXI) BURNED the number ol voteseast for Supreme Judge two years ago. The direct primary law, no doubt, receive a sufficient numlier and a petition filed. The female suffrage petition is liable to be a little short ind they will have' to wait two more years. The petition for local option is not a certainty yet, but the friends of this move ment are exerting their power to have a sufficient number to have their measure submitted. Of the three petitions the most important one is the one asking for a direct primary law. : The law makes the primary election do the work of a nominating convention. On this account it places more powers in the hands of the people who can thus name their own candidates direct, and take away most authority from political bosses. NEW SYSTEM OF ALARMS The Mill of the Pilot Butte De velopment Company Burned last Saturday loss $4000. The saw mill of the Pilot Butte Development Co. was burned to the ground last Saturday. This mill was located about 2 miles above Bend. The Iob- is about $4000 with no insurance. Through bard work of the bucket brigade the boiler, engine and planer were saved and the tire kept from the lumberyard, where a large quanti ty of material for the company's flume was stored. Rumor has it that when the mill is rebuilt it will he at Bend and it will not be needed at its first site. Mr. A. M. Drake was burned about the bunds and face in fighting the flames. A box of frozen giant powder was consumed without an explosion. If it had exploded it would have done ser ious damage. PETITIONS MUST BE FILED The Time Is Short and Some May Lack the Necessary Numlier. All petitions asking for the sub mission of the proposed laws to the people, to he voted upon at the June election must be tiled with the secretrary of Sulem by mid night tomorrow night. Each petition must contain the names of at least 8 per cent of the City Council Votes to Install Electric Methods ol Calling Fire Department. Both the business and residence districts of the city will soon be equipied with an electric system of fire alarms, the ' council last Tuesday evening baring accepted the bid of the Electric . Light and Power company for installing the system. Ten alarm boxes are to be put in place at the street corners aa follows: A and Fourth; A and Second; First and C; Third and C; Fifth and C; Seventh and A; and one at the street corner near May or Wureweiler's residence; one at the court house and a day alarm at the po8toffice. At both the liower house and in the engine house of company No. 1 indicators will he placed showing the box from which the alarm has Been sounded. The new system will facilitate matters greatly in case of fire and considering the cost of placing the lines in oieratiuir is a commend able economical move toward re hiring the city's fire risks. Alder man Stewart originated the idea and proposed the matter of an electric system to the council and it is to him that credit is due in the undertaking. As soon as the boxes have been put in place the city will be divid ed into fire districts and the power company will sound the alarms by whistle. The Power company has agreed to complete the work for $55 and the win will be strung within a few days, and the system will be ready for oieration as soon as the alarm boxes are re ceived. MRS. MAYBRICK RELEASED Alter Serving in A British Priton for 14 Years A Pardon Is Granted By King Edward. .; Possibly no case has caused as much comment as the one against Mrs. Florence Maybrick for poison ing her husband on August 7, 1889, in London. She wag arrested and upon trial was sentenced to be hanged. 1 Influential Americans pleaded for the fair prisoner .and promi nent British attorneys .interceded in her behalf but all in vain. Judge Stevens was judge of the trial court and his charge to the jury in this case w ill be remember ed for its unfairness to the prison er. It is stated that he hated Americans and never allowed an opportunity to pass to show Ilia venom and prejudice, hut, never tbe less, the persistent efforts irf her attorneys were rewarded in getting her sentence reduced to imprisonment for life. Her British Attorneys netet ceased in their -efforts in her Br half, and at last the heart of King Edward was touched and a pardon was granted after over 14 years of imprisonment she has gained lif liberty.
