ZFrintvill, Origan, Sheriff HmitU'N good memory wan instrumental iai wet-K in apprehending & man wanted for murder In Mendocino county, California, and incidentally was the nieana of necuring for him few hundred dollari the re ward offered for the arrent of the man whom the sheriff recognized from photographs and dewcriptiotm writ him from the etate mentioned. Lant Tuesday a man giving hia name aa (ieorgo 16 was arraigned )efore J tint ice Lawrence at Bend . u .... J . on a cnarge 01 attaint aim wa? sentenced to twelve days in the county jail. He was brought over )y deputy sheriff Jame Smith and had been in jail hut a short time when Sheriff Smith went out and recognized him almoct instant ly as a man whoce photograph adorned the rogue's galiery. A reference to the records and files confirmed the fact tht lus name is William Lambert 4and wanted n California for the" murder of Frank L. Drake which occurred in Mendocio county on the 2lHh of ast Match. A circular in the Shcrifi's office states that a reward of f 500 has been offered for his arrest. The circular also gives a lescription of the man, who is nearly six feet, three inches in height, and included among the indentification marks a tattooed star and figure of a woman on the murderer's riirht arm. Sheriff Smith found these after some little trouble with the prisoner" and im mediately telegraphed to Sheriff J. II. Smith, of Mendocino county, that the man was here. The lat ter arrived in the city Monday evening and took Lambert in charge. The crime for which Lambert is wanted took place during the night of March 29 and was one of the most brutal ever recorded in California. Shortly after the murder, a man named Finley was arrested, tried and convicted of the crime, but during his trial Lambert and an associate named Charles N. Jones were implicated. Since that time the two have been wnrkina their wav north. Lam- ferent parts of the country lielore and since, and it is further known that it is al.rioHt impossible for them to find what they want. The four Montana men announced when they came that they want 10,000 yearling ewes and breeders generally, and failing to find their first choice in numU-rs to suit them they will buy range sheep of all classes. Five weeks ago, at Shaniko, yearling eweB were held at $1.75. Two weeks ago they advanced to 92.25, and it is known that at this time some of the sheepmen are actually holding out for $2.25 per head for culls of yearling weathers. All the time it is possible that some of the sheepmen may over reach and fall down. At the same time any considerable reaction from the present tendency for prices to go upward and stay at a stiff price is hardly possible in the opinion of the most experienced and successful sheepmen of Umatil la county. The situation in the inferior is accentuated in favor of the owners of sheep by the phenominal fine fall range and abundance of feed for winter, which are jortents of a fine wool crop crown at a mini mum of expense; and to this pros pect is coupled the universal belief that next vear will be a year of good prices for the wool. The J. I). Wood Company of Salt Lake, one of the heaviest sheep firms west of the Missouri river, writes to a local firm of sheepmen asking for prices on 10,000 year ling ewes. The reply did not quote any prices, because the sheep are not in Umatilla county at any price. The Wood company wants ewes that are one-half Merino and the other half either Cotswold or Shropshires. The Wood company will further find, if it has not yet found, that it will experience inability to get these sheep anywhere in the United States, as the cond.tion9 so confi dently expressed by one of Uma- FIRE CAUSES HEAVY LOSS McFarland's Feed Barn Is Destroyed Eight Horses Perish in the Flames.

A deputy in consequence was sent there to 'ar rest Jones, but another man it was found had been mistaken for Lambert's associate in the crime. Later in the week word was re ceived by Sheriff Smith that Jones had been seen near Grant's Pass and the authorities there were notified to arrest him. tilla county's sheep kings last snriner as being on the road is actually here, viz: there is a shortage of typical mutton stock- ers all over the United States, Right now Umatilla county sheepmen with the cash in their jeans, who have sold off their flocks closer than they would have done perhaps, had they realized the result, are scouring all Central Oregon after yearling ewes, and in fact all other class of stock sheep, I and are unable to find them except !at the prices suggested by the! Fire, starting cn the west end of the McFarland feed barn on the north side of the city Tuesday noon, caused a loss of $1600 to the owner and several others who had horses and harness in the building. The tire was discovered about 12:30 and is believed to have started from a lighted match being thrown from the hand of someone smoking while at work around the barn. A heavy wind blowing from the west turned the flames at once into the hay scattered about the floor, and before the fire com panies arrived the entire building was wrapped in flames. Attention was turned at once to the burning wagons standing in the yard, and some 30 head of horses in the barn and the adjoining sheds were cut loose from their halters. Eight of these, however, stood in the stalls where the flames were the fiercest and huddled together terror strick en, instead of taking their- liberty as the flames approached them. Their bodies were burned to a crisp. Six of the animals belong ed to W. H.- Smith and two of them were the property of George Ramsey. Hanging on the walls of the barn were eight or ten sets of harness belonging to the two men and none of these were saved. The flames spread so rapidly with the aid of the terrific wind blowing that even those who went in and cut the halter ropes were almost enveloped in flames before their attempt at rescuing the horses was completed. The barn was a two story structure 45x65 feet. Mr. McFar land stated that it would cost in the neighborhood of $300 to re place it. There was no insurance. The loss to W. II. Smith will amount to $600 and George Ramsey valued his two horses and harness at $350. Gus Schroeder and Elmer Lutz, stockmen living near Silver Lake, also sustained a loss of several hundred. They had returned with the company is desirous and de termined to secure and save all the ore values it was decided best to first ascertain, beyond any question, the process that is beot adapted to the working of this particular ore. There is at this time sufficient ore blacked out and in sight to crowd the capacity of a 25 stamp mill for several years and the conservative management concluded to first submit the ore to various tests. In pursuance of this policy experimental work has been in progress since the closing of the mill. As it is too late in the season to attempt the project ed improvements, that conclusions justify, the present concentrating plant which has undergone some change, will he in operation this winter, and the new machinery latest news Oregonian. from Shaniko. East ARLINGTON GIVES RIGHT OF WAY SHEEP PRICES ARE ADVANCING The citizens of Arlington have come to an agreement, witn ine management of the O. R. & N. in regard to to right of way through the streets of the city, says the Oregonian. Some time ago the city, asked the right-of-way department of the company $3000 for the franchise ail gh the town. The depart ment gave assurances that this sum would lie given, but when the matter was submitted to Mr. Cal in, general manager of the ro.nl, Call good and examine and fft my prices GORMLEY I" TAILOR C.

Sample Rooms for Commercial Travelers, : Long Distance Telephone Station iu the house j )thehou8 Buyers nre now in the markets of Utah, Wyoming and Montana pay ing five and six cents per pound more than lust season for the same grades of wool for next spring's delivery for wool that is not yet grown. Every anticipation by buvers and heavy dealers and the trade and commercial publications is that there is to be a boom next year in the wool trade in all parts of the world, and the manufactur ers are in the lists this early to anticipate the time when wool will be hard to get and then at almost prohibitive prices. Further than this, wool is selling now in St. Paul for iJU cents per pound also of next year's clip, Four buyers of sheep arrived at the Hotel Pendleton a few day aao and immediately scattered throughout Eastern Oregon search of sheep. Other buyers are known to have arrived from dif their freight wagons from Shaniko only a short time before the fire started and had run their wagons, loaded with nearly 10,000 pounds of merchandise, into the yard next to the burned building. The flames almost totally destroyed one wagon, charred the sides and wheels of the other, and a large number of sacks of flour, meal and other groceries were ruined by the flames and water. Mr. Schroeder stated yesterday' that it would take $200 to replace the goods he and Mr. Lutz had lost and to re pair his wagons. Aside from the losses mentioned several tons of hay in the loft were burned and a large amount of provisions which had been stored in the east end of the barn, were destroyed. . The burned building stood with in a short distance of Mr. McFar land's house and within twenty feet of a wood shed setting in front of the house.' By a fortunate circumstance the heavy wind hap- with increased capacity, will in all probility be put in place this coming spring. Ine crusher was put in motion last week and it was the intention to start the mill, Wednesday. The roll plant now in commis sion has a capacity of 30 or 40 tons, with the Huntington mill working auxiliary to it. About 30 tons was the best the manage ment could do with the rolls alone. Taleous material, which carries values that cannot be wasted, alternating with a very hard quartz, taxed tin plant severely in the previous test. By not crowd ing the rolls, it is believed that , good work can be done, and a crew proportionate to this work has been put at work. A very small force of miners will be re quired underground, as the ore body is so large that it breaks down in immense quantities. The Sumpter smelter, which is an eager bidder for all ores of the district, will afford the Dixie man agement a better market for con centrates than was had before. In order to better facilitate the operations of the plant, the com pany have adopted a new plan. Dr. V. C. Belknap "has been ap pointed trustee of the company, and a mortgage in trust has been issued to him. Under the new plan the company have issued 120 5 year bonds bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. The value of these bonds is $500.00 each. These bonds will be floated among the stockholders and others in terested and the $60,000 realized from their sales will . be used in the further development, of the property.

When the mine was closed down it was the intention to install a new milling plant and Mr. R. C. Reese went east for the purpose of securing the new machinery. As As a result of his recent trip to the East, President Lytle, of the Columbia Southern, is able to an nounce that the proposed exten sion of that road to Interior Ore gon is assured, and the matter is still grinding. "There is not much doubt of the extension," said he today, "but there is not yet anything of an official nature to be announced. I am satisfied that it is only a question of a short time until the line will be extended to the interior of the state, reaching as far South as Bend. "There is absolutely nothing in the report that I went East to make arrangements to sell the Columbia Southern to E. H. Har- riman, nor is such a deal" in pro gress." The extension of the Columbia Southern means much for Interior Oregon, a rich section of the state which has lain dormant for a long time, owing to the total lack of transportation facilities and re sulting development. The build ing of the road to Bend will more than double the present length of the road, which is 70 miles, run ning from Biggs to Shaniko. The distance which will be covered from Shaniko to Bend is 100 miles. Bend is now growing rapidly, owing to extensive irrigation works which are being constructed there. The country tributary to Bend is developing rapidly, and only .... . ; .. . :l awaits tne consiruciiosi a inn road to become a rich producing district. Telegram.
