You will please notify the mem bers of your association that the contracting parties in the agree! metit made at Howard last Tues day represent only a email part of those who ure entitled tp range privileges which conflict in interest with that agreement' and that any attempt to follow out he agree ment on the part of your members iviiu own sheep will result in a contest for the range involved that will not be pleasant. If any of your members are unwise enough to presume upon the strength of the agreement mentioned they must take the consequences. Horsehcavcn, Crooked Uiver and Heaver Stockmen. I'. S. Perhaps you have never realized that the reward offered by your association makes it rather hard on 'our shcopherders and camp-tenders-, as it is not our pur pose lo he testified against, no matter what reward and induce ments are offend, and the offering of money rewards synph makes j your employees existence in Crook county the more strenuous. You will understand exactly what we mean' At the Howard conference more than thirty cattlemen from Mill creek and Ochoco were present, and it was assumed by the sheep men's committee that all parties in interest were represented. The as sumption appears from the above letter to have been wrong, 'and the question arises whether or not there is any disposition on the part of those cattlemen who kept away to enter into negotiations for a cace f ii I settlement of the range trouble. Certainly -their absence from the conference, followed by this repu; dialion of the agreement and the coward.1 v threat conveyed in their letter, does not argue very elo quently for their spirit of fair mindedness.

Petitions are being prepared and will be circulated in a few- days by the advocates of local option under the direction of Campaigner Tufts, who is now resident here, in a supreme effort to force the applica tion of the new law throughout Baker-county except in the princi pal business portion of Baker City and Sumpter. The petitions, if signed by the requisite number ot registered voters, will compel the county clerk to place the question uiiu the ballots next November and if the voters carry it at all the polls local option will become a reality in Baker county with the two cxceilion noted.

I'KKKKNT STOCK' OUTLOOK I'endletort Cattleman Returns from the Kat Where He Si ays Prices Arc on the Wane. K. X. Stanlield lias returned from Omaha and Chicago where lie had heen with a shipment of cattle, says the Pendleton Tribune. Mr. Stanlicld says that there, are no indications of an advance in the stock market and that the buyers in Omaha .inl Chicago ex pect cheap beef this summer. "The price.i,"' he said, "were not g'Kid and it dne.-n't Inok as if they were going to improve. As far as take ail van tags nf the present prices rattier mitt a decline which is expected,at any time. A to the effect of the packers strike on the stoek market I can't say, as I left Chicago before the trike had deen called." Mr. Stanliehl went to Omaha with a shipment of fourteen cars of beef cattle which were loaded at Echo. These cattle brought good prices on the market, but nothing extra. Mr. Stanlicld did not say jusi wnai me price was, inn sain the range was from I'i.tio to lfli.00. They will start another trainload ot cattle tor the ' Omaha market: within a few weeks.

It was feared by some of our people that the conditions would not meet with the approval of the Great Southern, and there 4he matter would end. But the signatures of the managers have been appended to the agreement, and it is now a complete contract, say9 The Dalles Chronicle. The conditions are qnjte lengthy, and could not conveniently, with their legal verbiage, be giVcu in full in a single l.-sue. On the part! of lhe Dalles the committee ofi. ., . . ,, , , . . , I in the state and has worked lnccs- ciluens agree to deposit deeds fori ... , , rights way in French A Co.'s j , , . i- . . , lunn, m escrow, subject to certain .. . . . . , ., i conditions to he performed on the , 1 part of the. Great Southern Rail-!. .. . that the Railway company shall , i , -. , ', 1 of road into this city on or before: It , 1,1 ,l,li1 I, lira , iii.i,i..n i August 1, l!)0(i; also that they shall erect a freight and passenger depot at a designated point, south of the W. W. M. Co.'s mill in the East End, at a cost of not less than $1000; further, the company shall construct and - maintain all shops north of Dufur, afa place in the suburbs of this city, designated in propel terms, and is a point a short distance east of the oil tanks on the Hat. That the railroad terminus will lie a factor of development for The Dalles we believe will not be: doubted by any one; and that, with ouf manufacluting facilities and oK'ii river to tidewater, it should he the means of attracting cap. tal to The Dalles, is believed by many. The future will make known the fact whether these expectations have liccu realized. It may lie with the citizens to take advantage of the many opportuni ties offered, and some believe that a new era in our industrial de velopment is dawning. WILL IRRIGATE WITH PUMP Gasoline Engine and Plant Will Be Installed on the Foster Property. Crook County will witness for the first. time next spring the irrigation of a tract of land by the means of water purnied'fron) a gasoline en gine. Carey Foster has made ar rangements to install a plant and it will be set up this fall, probably in September, and he nlaced in 1 readineSH for Use next spring, The engine will he a 15 horse- siwer machine, capable o' throw ing a minimum of lOOOgallons per minute, or a maximum of I WO gal lons per minute up a 23 foot lift. It is expected that the entire tract of 250 acres, lying southeast of the j city, can he thoroughly irrigated every eight days if necessary. In of gasoline. This can be purchased in Portland for 12cents pergalloi1 and the fuel alone, which is the only . expense attached ' to this method of irrigation, will not ex- cced $150 for the entire season. Infiden insuring water at all limes when needed. The water to be used will be pumped from Crooked river. The basis upon which irrigation is carried on with a pump is as follows: 400 gallons per minute, or 44 miner's inches will irrigate one acre one inch deep per hour Or that flow is equal to one cubic foot fat second which will irrigate (he same amount of lamPm tin- will return to the city about the middle of September to install the engine and place it in running order. It is expected that other 'ranchmen in this vicinity will purchase engines to use for similar purposes this fall. FINDS TRAIL IS FEASIBLE Work Will Commence Soon on 0ien Roadway Across the Cas cades to Deschutes River. Hon. John Minto, of Salem, who has for some time ajvoceted the proposition of building . a trail through the Cascade mountains from the end of the Corvallis and Eastern railroad to the Deschutes river, came in from Detroit yester day noon, after spending ten days in the mountains beyond the end of the railroad, looking, over the ! proposed route ior a trail, says il...

I ley if a trail can be through the mountain built and especially would it be useful, he . . , , . says, in turning the cattle tra this way, giving the Eastern Ore gon ranchers a tine market for their stock,, and supplying the valley with a high grade of stock for meat at a reasonable cost. That the trail, proposed by liim, can be easity built. Mr. Minto proves by the fact that a -band of t,500,sheep was brought to within eight miles of Minto last fall, from Eastern Oregon, held awhile and I then driven back. Other bu lids of sheep have been grazing on the reserve, coming in from Eastern Oregon, and almost through to the railroad, . These, of course, were on the 'forest reserve only ' for grazing purposes, and Mr. Minto holds that if a legal passageway or trail crossed the reserve, violat ors of the law would have no ex cuse to cross the reserve, only for grating purposes, and violations of grazing laws would be less' than now. at the same time making a highway of traffic from central Kastcrn to Western Oregon, - with going around hy tho Columbia river. . Mr. Minto found the route for the proposed trail just as he ex pected it to he entirely available for the purises intended, and he expects to secure the necessary help to have the trail built tn Eastern Oregon, and used regular ly as a highway of traffic. BCY HORSES IN THE VALLEY C. I). Weisj, of Bend, Is in Albany to Purchase Horseii for the Deschutes Irrigation Co. C. D Weisz, of Bend, Eastern Oregon, is in the city for the pur pose of buying a number of good horses to be used in his section of the country on the irrigation ditches. Mr. Weisz is connected with tho Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co., and the horses are re tired for the work on the ditches the company having extensive works on hand and is rapidly ex tending the system of irrigation (itches and reclaiming large tracts of desert land. Already IS miles of the desert lietween Bend and Prineville has been irrigated and put under the ditches of the com pany and is now as fertile a section of the country as any other part of the state, and the work of extend ing the system is going oc rapidly. Mr. Weisz says that his company has 187,000 acres of desert land to be placed under the ditches and ' make fruitful, and he is confident that all of this land will in a few years be under, the plow, produce great wealth, and give support to many worthy citizens in Eastean Oregon. The horses bought by the company are good draft ani mals, and good prices are being paid for the kind of animals desired. A short time ago a -number of horses were brought in here from Eastern Oregou and placed on the market, and it seems peculiar that now Eastern Oregon people come here tn buy horses, but the reason for this can be found in the fact that the horses brought across the mountains to this valley lor sale are not the kind of animals desired by the irrigation people for the work they have under way. Albany Herald. WILL HELP THE MINERS. General Land Office Renders De cision Which Will Be of Great Benefit to Claimants. The general land office at Wash ington, has affirmed the decisicn of the local register at Helena, Montana, in holding that a miner al claimant to government lands need show only that the indica tions are such as to justify a miner in further expenditure of time and money with reasonable prospect of developing a pay mine. The old regulations required that land should "produce mineral in pay ing quantities as a present fact." The decision is most important . in the mineral development of the country as it gives miners great leeway heretofore denied, "The action of the general land office in allirming the decision of the register at Helena is in line with the rulings of all the courts and shows a disposition to marked liberality on the part of the officials at Washington," said Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,. who is thoroughly posted on mining aliairs. "It is extremely liberal to miners and prosjiectors. "However, it is not true that the old regulations required tlnil land should produce mineral in paying quantities as a present fact." Paying is only a comparative ex pression, for a mine or claim may be possessed of unlimited wealth and may not lie paying a cent to its owners. It all dejiends on con ditions, such as railroad facilities and the like. The courts have always held in accordance with the decision that has just hen ' affirmed.
