Houthorn Irrigation Company onJ
Hie Columbia Southern Irrigating
Company dot-lured insolvent ami
for the appointment of a receiver
was begun in the Circuit court by
F. It. J llnnki, 'representing the
. settlers who contracted for the pur
chase of land from the defendant
companies and who claim that
the irrigation companion have not
fulfilled their part of the contract,
any the Telegram. Hanks acka
that the court compel the stock
holders in the defendant com
pantos to pay the amount claimed,
in proportion to their capital
stock. Among I ho defendants ia
W'. II. Moore, now on trial in tho
Circuit Court for alleged mis
management of the fund of the
Oregon Trust and Having ltnk,
of which he wait president. Other
defendant in the criminal cases
againnt the officers of the Oregon
Trust and Paving Dank are made
defendants in the suit brought by
F.H. Hanke. They include E. K.
Lytle, If. A. Moore and W. Coorer
Morris. ' ."
Hanke says he bought property
from the irrigation companies in
April, 1901, and that it was lo
cated in Crook county. The Three
Bisters Irrigating Company, which
is among the defendants, agreed to
reclaim the land under the Carey
Act. ll:inke agreed to pay for the
release of a lien of the Columbia
Southern Irrigation Company on
the property for the sum of $1345.
45. He says he actually paid the
Columbia Southern , Irrigation
Company $708. Subsequently,
the Columbia Southern Irrigation
Company .transferred to the Co
lumbia Southern Irrigating Com.
pany all its rights and contracts.
The plaintiff further claims that
neither the Three Sisters Irri
gation Company, Columbia South
ern Company nor Columbia South
ern Irrigating Company performed
all or any of the terms of the con
tract with him, and that the irri
filing system was never com
pleted. All construction work on
the system has been abandoned, he
states. .
The complaint alleges that the
Columbia Southern , Irrigating
Company has outstanding liabili
ties for moneys borrowed in a sum
in excess of $20,000 and liabilities
based cn breach of contract in ex
cess of $100,000, and that the com
pany Is wholly Insolvent., He
says he has rescinded his contract
and demanded the refund of his
Investment, but that this hss
lieen refused.
Hanke says the company was
incorporated January 1, 1903, with
a capital stock of $100,000. He
says K. E. Lylle subscribed for 33,
334 shares, W. II. Moore for 33,333,
W. A. Laidlaw for 33,333, and
that thereafter V. H. Moore trans
ferred to JI. A. Moore 14,167
shares, and to J. D. Laidlaw 6000
shares.
It is alleged that no part of the
original subscription to the captial
stock was paid prior to the volun
tary sales and transfers and that
the defendants are indebted to the
Columbia Southern Irrigation Com
pany and to its creditors on account
of such subscriptions in sums rang
ing from $tlG7 to $85,000 apiece.
The Oregon Trust & Savings Hank
is shown to have been largely in
terested in the4 alleged insolvent
company and it is stated that some
of the stockholders, who were also
interested In the Oregon Trust, un
loaded several thousand shares of
their stock on to the batik. These
stockholders included V. A. Laid
law, R. W. Wilson and J. W.
Main
Accordiug to the futher claims in
the complaint the original sub
scribers to the capital stock of the
company are justly indebted to the
Columbia Southern Irrigating
Company and its creditors to the
total amount of elyk subscribed
by them and that they are severally
liable in the total sum of $300,000
This suit in equity is brought in
Hanke's behalf and alxo in behalf
of such other creditors of the irriga
tion company as shall intervene
and come into the suit as parties to
plaintiff.
It is admitted that certain of the
individual defendants are insolvent
and unable to respond io an order
of the court directing them to pay
funds, but Hanke says he is unable
to specify just how many are
insolvent. He wants those who
are able to settle.
The complete list of defendants
in the suit is as follows: Three

A Mail-Order Ax.
A rather amusing story is told
of a man who went into a hard
ware store in a neighboring town
and wished to purchase an ax, says
an Ohio paper. Ileing shown the
article and informed that the price
was $1.15, he said:
Why, I can get that same kind
of an ax from a mail order house
for ninety cents."
"Very well," said the hardware
man; "I will give it to you for the
same price, provided you will do
the same with me as you will do
with it."
"All right," replied the customer,
as he banded over a dollar bill,
the merchant giving him back ten
cents in change.
"Now," said the hardware man,
"I want 25 cents more to pay ex
press charges," which the pur
chaser gave him. "How much did
your ax cost you?"
"One dollar and fifteen cents,"
the man answered.
"Very good. Now give me 5
cents more for money-order fees
and postage," which the purchaser
had to hand over. "Now, who
much did your ax cost you?"
"One dollar and twenty cents,"
said the customer.
"Not so cheap after all," said
the merchant, whereupon he pick
ed up the ax, tossed it back on the
shelf, and told the customer to call
for it in ten days, as that would be
as soon as be could get it if he had
ordered it from the mail-order
bouee.

ANGORA COATS.
They Havs Natural Inatlnet Foe Eat
ing Brush.
The brash eating Instinct of Angora
goats Is being successfully demon
strated on tbe Lassen national forest,
In California, wbers the are catting
traits for fire guards through tbe
brusb areas oo tbe slopes of tbe
mountains. Tbe animals, which num
ber 8,000, have been dlrlded into two
bands and under tbe care of tbe herd
ers are grazed within certain welt de
fined areas, so that tbelr work may be
concentrated on tbe brash within
those limits.
Tbe result Is tbst they bare practi
cally killed nearly all tbe brusb In the
course, either by eating It up entirely
or by barking, as in the case of the
A STCBDT FELLOW. ,4 ,.,
heavy maozanita bushes. .t tbe be
ginning of the experiment there waa
some doubt ss to tbe goats' willing
ness to eat tbe manzaulu, but It has
been found that where there la tittle
else they will just as readily , attack
It as any other bushes. ' "
Tbe grazing sea sou was so late this
year in tbe Lassen forest that tbe
goats did not begin operations until
about the middle of June, but since
then they have made rapid progress,
and the result promises to be a suc
cess from every point of view. , . ;
Tbe trails will first be opened and
then kept free of sprouts by the goats,
saving tbe government considerable la
bor In cutting them out by hand, as
has been done heretofore, while the
brushy forage, which otherwise would
have been wasted, will support 8,000
goats very comfortably.
The Age of Cattle.
At twelve mouths an animal should
have all its milk (calf) incisors in
place. ..v, ., : "'-.'
Fifteen Months. At . this . age tbe
central pair of Incisors (milk teeth)
may be replaced by a pair of perma
nent lncisora (pinchers), these being
through tbe gums, but not In wear.
Eighteen Months. Tbe middle pair
of central Incisors at this age should
be fully up and In wear, but the next
pair (tbe first intermediary) not yet
through the gums..
Twenty-four Months. The mouth at
this age will show two middle (perma
nent broad) Incisors, fully up and In
wear.
Thirty months generally show six
broad permanent incisors, the middle
and first Intermediary fully up and in
wear; the next pair (second Interme
diary) well up, but not In use. '
Thirty -six months show three pairs
of broad teeth, which should be fully
up and In wear, and the corner milk
teeth may be shedding, with tbe cor
ner permanents Just appearing through
the gum.
Thirty-nine Months. Three p&lra of
broad teeth will be fully up and in
wear. The corner teeth (Incisors)
through the gum ate not In wear.
Hut In Cows.
Difficulty is often experienced in
catching certain cows to heat Some
animals do not come In heat regularly
and show scarcely any signs when the
period is on. A healthy cow Bhould be
In beat once In three weeks auu during
tbe period Is excitable, falls off In milk
and shows many other unmistakable
symptoms. Tbe only course open where
a cow does not show signs is to try ber
once or twice a week for at least three
weeks. If she falls to show during this
time, wait a week or two and repeat
tbe program. It often happens that
cows will not breed from one cause or
another. There Is no remedy, so far as
we are aware, that will aid materially
in bringing on the period. Of course
proper feed and care and not allowing
breeding animals to lay on too much
fat can but assist In tbe maintenance
of all normal body functions.
New Sheep Disease.
1 The first authentic case In the Unit
ed States of gld,' a brain disease pe
culiar to sheep, has been found on a
farm in central New York state, ac
cording to Dr. V. A. Moore, director
of the State College of Veterinary
Medicine.
Tbe disease, he said. Is common in
Great Britain and Germany, but bad
never been definitely found In this
country.
The malady Is a form of staggers
and Is often fatal, but Dr. Moore says
prompt preventive measures will
quickly check Its spread. , . . .
Smallest Cows. '
The smallest cows in the world are
found in the Samoan Islands. The
average weight of the males does not
exceed 200 pounds. The females aver
age about 100 pounds, are ery stocklly
built and are seldom taller than a
Merino sheep. In color these cattle
are nearly all alike, a reddish mouse
color marked with white. They have
very large beads, and their boms are
of exceptional length.
Rye Meal For Dairy Cows.
The Pennsylvania experiment station
has discovered that rye meal as a part
of a properly balanced ration for dairy
cows Is as efficient In milk and butter
production as an equal weight of corn.
