California, and incidentally was
the nieana of necuring for him

man whom the sheriff recognized
from photographs and dewcriptiotm
writ him from the etate mentioned.
Lant Tuesday a man giving hia

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

May with the Deschutes Irrigation

was thought last week after his
identification had been establish
ed, that Jones was also in the
vicinity of Bend. A deputy in
consequence was sent there to 'ar

found had been mistaken for
Lambert's associate in the crime.
Later in the week word was re

had been seen near Grant's Pass

notified to arrest him.

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

change, will he in operation this

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

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.

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.
