In the sectiniiH where they originated hut little timber wan eneoiliiteJ'd, hut it wan feared that the flames would work their way up I lie sides of Lookout mountain and destroy the heavy growth of pino and tamurac found there. The light rains the last of ilie week, however, checked the .Jinnies considerably and so far tho timber has been damaged but little. It is believed tint all of the fires wore started aceideulallv from sheep camps, hut they may have originated from some other source. As it is a large area of good graz ing hind has been left bars, a fact which is not likely to lessen the range dillicuHies in that section of the liluc mountain reserve.

Coroner Kinlcy, of Portland, is one of the officers of the new coiripauy, and although very reti cent alsmt the affairs of the cor poration he denied that it was in liny way connected with any of the companies already openting roads in Oregon or abutting terri tory. It is an independent cor poration, hacked up by business men of Portland and other Coast towns and by a small body of Eastern capitalists. According to the present plans of the compnny, it will take about a year to build the road, because the corporation's officers do not intend to Ojsm it for traffic until next year, just in time to handle the grain shipments. Telegram. ARRESTED ON FORGERY CHARGE SETTLERS LOCATING LAND. District Northeast of Silver Lake Near Crook County Line Is lleing Taken Fast. From all reports the Fossil lake country which is situated about ;!5 miles northeast. of this place, is on the eve of a big boom, uTid that not far away. Fifteen homestead ers from the north were on the ground last week looking over the land, and it is reported that they all located claims. A large crowd of home-seekers from the northern part of the state arc expected to, arrive at that place this week to select for themselves future homes, says the Silver Lake Oregonian. Kmil Egli, who has cattle in that section came in . town Saturday. He informed us that quite un excitement is licing manifested over the land as it is considerably more valuable than the settlers exiH'Cted to lind, and one of the party informed Mr. Egli that people would continue to flock in this section of the country through out the summer after homesteads as long as such valuable land re mains unsettled. . Ira Connett Breaks Jail at Sodaville and Is Caught at Logan Ranch. Ira Connett, a young man want ed in Linn county to answer the charge of forgery, and who broke jail at Sodaville, and escafied to Eastern Oregon, was arrested by Sheriff Smith last Saturday at the Logan ranch on Camp creek, where he had secured work. Tha( morning he was turnedo over to Sheriff Worth Huston, who came here from Albany to get the prisoner. At Antelope that night the young man again eluded the officer of the law and at present his whereabouts are unknown. Young Connett was informed against by District Attorney J. N. Hart, ol Linn county, a weeR ago last Monday, but owing to the fact that he was under arrest at Soda ville the matter was not made public at that time. escajieil and was known to be in Eastern Oregon and Sheriff Smith was so informed by wire last week. He went to the Logan ranch, ar rested the young man and brought liiui to tuwn where he was turned over to Sheriff Huston Saturdiiv morning. At Antelope he jumped from the stage as U was pulling into towc and made good his escape. Connett was accused of having forged a cheek for $12, the name forged lieing that o his brother-in-law. He spent the money in Sodaville, and when the forgery was discovered he was arrested and placed in the town jail there to await preliminary hearing be fore the justice of the peace. On the morning of the date fixed for the preliminary trial the jailer found the cell empty and the bird flown. All efforts to locate the young man were fruitless Connett having succeeded in making his way to this county where he secured work with Mr. Logan. Hooper, J. D. MuAndie and Joseph liannon. The Ash wood Pro'ctor speaking in regard to the matter says : The summer range problem has been one of the most serious with which sheepmen have had to deal for several years, and some pence able settlement would be welcomed by them. Sheep have been shot down, supply camps have been burned and in one or two instances even human life has been sacrific ed in this fight over range. 80 far, the sheepmen have been the suffer ers and no retaliation has been attempted. Should a policy of re taliation be adopted it would mean the extermination of the stock in dustry of eastern Oregon, and bit ter warfare between the sheepmen and cattlemen to the end. It is to avoid such a conflict that the stock associations are advocating the making of lines. Concessionc will j have to he made by both sides, I and in the interest of law and I order and the preservation of one Later he' of the states greatest industries, it is sincerely hoped that the meeting between the representatives of both sides nay result in the settling of their differences once and for all time.

ONE DOOR NORTH TEMPLETON'S OF A new: railroad costing about $2,fKK,0(H) to construct, and tapping the rich" agricultural districts of (.iillam and Wheeler counties, bringing the interior of those counties in touch with 1111 opening to Portland and the Pacific, will in a short time be built running from Arlington about 00 miles in a general easterly and westerly direction. The name of the road is the Arlington & Pacific Coast Railroad, and according to a promise made by its incorporators it will be in operation in time to handle next year's grain crop. Ono of the termini will le t some point oil me loiiimoia river where easy access to the sea will lie possible. Just how this will he accomplished and where that point will be is a secret as yet because the deal has not been put through, It is expected that everythig will be nrranged satisfactorily within a short time.

Although this body of land is situated a long ways from any running stream it would be no bard undertaking to bring water on the land for ' irrigation purposes from streams that are tributary to Silver lake or from the head waters of the Deschutes river. The canal would undoubt edly cost a large sum of money but by the productive farming country the water would bring for the state, the cost would be com paratively nothing. Water for ranch use can be had on this land by a few feet of dig ging as ryegrass is frequently found to I from three to four feet high, and where this grass is found there are usually damp, places, or wet weather springs that remain almost Lalf the summer. a speedy trial, but his second escaiK' makes it doubtful whether he is again captured soon. Sheriff Huston's term of office expired Monday nnd if the young man is '.gain arrested by a Linn county ;)flcial it must be by some other than the one who first took him in charge. It is probable that the escaped prisoner will make his way the railroad and leave the state where lie has twice evaded the officials. STOCKMEN TO MEET AGAIN Antelope Sheep Owners and Crook Cattlemen Will Make Effort to Adjust Range Difficulties. At a meeting held last week by the Antelope sheepmen a com mitte was appointed for the second time this summer to meet with the cattlemen of this county and endeavor to adjust the range dilii culties in the Blue Mountains. The committe consists of H. C. ARE OPPOSED TOTHE OR.DER Cattlemen Object to Being Com pelled to Dip Stock Which Is Intended (or Shipment East. ' By an order promulgated in March by the Secretary of Agri culture, it is required that all cat tle west of the Mississippi River intended for shipment should be "dipped" in a prejieration prescrib ed by the Department for the purpose of absoletely exterminat ing the skin disease known as the mange, which has existed to a lim ited extent for many years in the section. This order, if rigidly en forced, would require that all beef cattle, whether affecte'd by the mange or not, should be dipped twice before shipment. As it has been found impossible to make neceFSjry preperations and round up and dip the cattle within the limited -time . allowed, numerous petitions have reached, the Depart ment, praying for a relaxation of the order. A few days ago a dele gation apieared before the Secre tary of Agriculture and later call ed on the President, requesting that the order be so modified as to obviate the dipping of beef catlle before shipment and in lieu there of to institute rigid Government inspection at the point of ship ment before the cattle are loaded on the cars. The subject, which is regarded as of first improtance, was given careful consideration by the President and Secretary Wilson who have not as yet made a decision in the matter. 1 With the Finest Will be in Prineville Of The Dalles, Oregon.
