A dispatch from the Oregonian News P.ureau at Washington, dated July 12, has the following to aay regarding a young woman that was horn and rained in Crook county: Mr. Mina Wilnon Wilmarth, of llurna, Or., win this morning com mitted to the Government insane asylum in thia city on the rejiort of two police physicians that her mind was unbalanced as a result of extefiive uxe of morphine. Mrs. Wilmarth came to Wash ington about 10 days ago and from the time of her arrival it was no ticed that her actions were niont peculiar. It waa not untiL lant night, however, that she attracted the attention of the police by talk ing wildly and boisterously on the street. Her actions were witnessed by a policeman and she was taken into custody. Thia morning she waa carefully examined and the physicians quickly recommended that she be gent to the Government hospital for the insane. A telegram waa sent by the lolicetoMrs. Wilmarth's mother,. Mr . Charity Wilson, who Uvea at Prineville, advising her of her daughter's detention and asking if she would come for her and take her home. If relatives or friends do not take charge of her, phe will be brought before the Marshal's jury some time within six weeks and be siven a court hearing to de termine whether or not she is of unsound mind. She will then have an opportunity of testifying in her own behalf, and friends, if she has any here will also have an oppor tunity to testify. Their testimony will be met by that of physicians from the asylum, who w il have charge of her during her temporary confinement. If the jury rhould adjudge her insane, she- will then be recommitted until her sanity re turns. The Government hospital ia the largest institution of the kind in the United States and Mrs. Wil marth will be sure of the very best treatment while there. The phy sicians who have examined her be- ieve she can by cured by proper treatment, but this will probably require six months or more. Mrs. W ilmarth says she tied from Burm because her friends there were trying to put her in an insane asylum. She apparently left home with $500, but arrived here practically without funds. She wanted to see the President, the Post-maeter-Geheral and Sec retary Uartieid on various missions, but according to her own statement ber principal object in coming was to secure appointment as Receiver of the Burns Land Office. She said that Frank Davey, recently speaker of the Oregon House, had removed to Burns wnh the expec tation of being appointed Register of tho Land Oflice, and declared that it was at his suggestion she came here to secure Mr. Davey's appointment along with her own. She believed President Roosevelt waa a friend of hers and would make tho appointment. Never theless, Bhe offered a newspaper man $300 to u?e his influence with the President to have her appoint ed. She became greatly disappoin ted when she learned that the Pres ident and other officials were out of the city, and talked of going to Oyster Bay, but, when told she could not see the President except by appointment gave up the trip. bhe had been a candidate for Postmaster at Burns, and said she war defeated by conspiring enemies. Mrs. Wilmarth wanted to talk with the Postmaster General about what she declared to be gross mis conduct of Postmasters in Oregon. She said there was not an honest postmaster in the state: that all were opening mails and abstracting valuables. She also talked ramb- lingly about land frauds, and had a conference with Acting Secretary of the Interior Woodruff, to whom she gave particulars of various alleged fraudulent land ran sac lions near Burns. Because of her frequent visits to the Capitol and her peculiar actions while there; the curiosity of the Capitol police waa aroused and they decided to investigate Mrs. Wilmarth, but when they went to her hotel they fobnd she had been requested to give up her rooms and had gone to live with her negro washer-woman. Inquiry at the home of the negro family elicited the information that no white per son waa living there, but after h interception Mrs. W'ilmarth's be longings were found in the negro household. She had been there two days. CROOK COUNTY FAIR To be Held at Prineville, Oregon, on October 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. LIST OF PREMIUMS. Division A-HORSES SuportnLendsmt-Goora'o MUttcan.

July 15. Nineteen teachera are enrolled for the terra and more are expected to be in attendance before the end of the week. There seems to be a growing appreciation on the part of the teachers of the county for the benefits held out to them by the aummer normal. While the principal aim of the work is the preparation for teachera' examinations, yet there is much in the work aside from this that will be of material benefit to the teacher in the schoolroom and hence in directly increase the efficiency of the schools of the county. The Summer Normal will not only tend to raise the standard of the teachers in this countv. but will also give those who have not had an opportunity to attend a higher school to properly prepare for examination and work in the school room. It will be seen that the work of the institute is far reaching in its effects and should have the earnest support of the iieople of the county to the end that its labors may be continued and the scope of its usefulness en larged. The institute will continue ita labors until August 14, when the semi-annual teachera examina tions will take place. Prof. L. R. Travers will begin his work on August 5th and will continue until August 9th. The present instruc tors are Prof. Hockenberry, County Superintendent Dinwiddie and Mrs Collins Elkins. The following are in attendance: Rena Noble, Opal Prairie. L. Tillie Fisch, Opal Prairie. Louis Arensmeier, Madras. Jessie Hartley, Madras. Grace Robinson, Culver. Nora Mitchell, Prineville.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN CROOK COUNTY (Continued on page 4) The crop situation in Crook county is brighter than it has bet n for years. The yield this year should be at least twice as heavy s this part of Central Oregon hrs ever seen. The first crop of alfalfa is in the tack and in some parts of the county work will soon begin n the second harvest. On these fields a third crop of average qu;in- titv will be cut before thev are pastured off in the fall. The damp season and constantly improving methods of dry farming have combined to make the output this season unprecedented. The newer parts of the county Agency plains and the newly irrigated sec tions in the Deschutes country never before had so much ground in cultivation aud the initial crop will be heavv. The Madras country is a mam moth grain field. The crops in that vicinity consist principally of wheat and barley, with o'her grains in smaller quantity. The question with the people over there is a market, and steps have already been taken to haul the surplus to Shanikoso that the outside markets can be reached. P. Zell will file him. your saw.
