A Great Boast. A German newspaper pnblisbes a story from the United States that a cow boy in the Yellowstone Park has dis covered an immense deposit of preserved buffalo meat that covers several thous and acres. It seems that many millions of years ago there were a billion or so of buffaloesovertaken by some cataclysm of nature and they all perished. Fortun ately there was an intense heat ; then the earth tipped up and a wave of salt sea water washed over the entiae Das;. Then along came the ice age and the de posit has been preserved ever since. It is a mighty good story. The Unfortu nate part of it is that the discovery could not have been made in time to save the country from the scandals that arose a few years ago became the war dpart ment was furnishing artificially em balmed beef to the soldiers in Cuba. Now that President Roosevelt ia In the Park, he had better file on that deposit in the name of the people of the United Statee; otherwise it may soon fall into the hands of the beef triiBt. The real funny part of the story 1b that the Ger man editor seems to take it seriously. SUMMONS. Ill the Circuit Oourt n( the Stuteol Oregon, for Iho County 01 ciacamas; Rosy Tbouinson, flulutlff, v.
