BURNS. Or., Aug. 18. Harney Oranty'
contains the "argestaad greatest Tanches
in the -world. She has the largest sin
gle and the largest combination, of ranches
la the -world. This la a broad statement
but It Is true. The Pacific Ivestock Com
pany's combination of ranches Is the
greatest in the -world and the ITrench
Gloim ranch Is the largest single ranch in
the -world. Then there are the Sisson,
XWvtne, Riley. Shirk Island and a dozen
others that are as large as some of the
largest counties in Eastern States. Mil
ler & Lux are the owners the Pacific
Livestock system of ranches. Their "White
Horse ranch Is the central point for
gathering stock, and sorting them out and
shipping, and is probably the largest of
their system. It is 130 xmllea from Burns
in the southeastern corner of Harney
County. It contains 30,000 acres. Twenty
flve hundred acres of this Is In a rich
valley, a natural meadow, irrigated by
xraibural streams. This meadow is fenced
to Itself and the hay is cut from it an
nually. About 200 acres of it produces
gifhifn and from this ranch alone 400
to BOO tons of hay is cut annually. This,
company employs a large number of men
on its various ranches and it has a
system governing its work as stringent
and perfect as that of a well-regulated
railroad company. There are general
managers and assistant general managers,
and local managers and assistants, and
foremen of different departments, and
subs and so on, down to the common
hay-pitcher and dish-washer. All of the
improvements on these ranches are the
costliest and tire best and every Indi
vidual ranch is a little government within
Itself. The possessions of lords of olden
times with their manors -were not more
carefully managed than are these ranches,
and the foreman and -workmen are, not
less obedient to their duty. When the
head superintendent comes there Is awe
among the -underlings for fear that every
thing will not please, and -when the owner
comes it is like the coming of a King,
Indeed.
On the White Horse ranch the super
intendents and foremen ride and drive
-white horses, the typical horses of the
ranch.
The principal grasses grown on these
ranches are wild redtop and clover, as Is
grown all over the natural meadows of
the county, but there are other varie
ties Just as good intermingled -with
them.
JZVk find Deer Become Tame.
On these ranches, two of them in par
ticular the White Horse -and French
Glenn, deer that -were formerly wild and
elk on the French-Glenn ranch have be
come tame and nmro at will among the
stock, and among the hay-makers in hay
mowing season. They come up like cattle
among the men. As the long list of mow
ers drawn by teams cut the hay down In
rows, theee. deer and elk caper back and
forth and smell the new-mowed hay and
follow the men for a caress. This has
been hrought about by a rule of the
ranches that prohibits the discharge of
firearms on the grounds and makes It a
heavy penalty to kill or malm any of the
wild or domesticated animals on the lands.
From year to year the deer and elk have
become tamer, and finally realizing that
there was no danger, have practically be
come domesticated. They are- a little
"lcary" of the stranger at first, but soon
become acquainted and confident. There
are as many as 200 deer in some of these
herds. In Winter when the snow Is heavy
on the ground these deer go Into the
foothills on the company's property and
feed on the tender grass until the snow
leases the valley. On any part of the
ground woe betides the man that kills or
cripples one of these animals. They are
very careful with their young. When In
the hay fields In Spring they -will leave
dozens of the fawns In charge of one doe
in some copse of timber or in the high
grass and go browsing, but In case of dis
turbance they go to the rescue of the
young with a lightning speed and fire In
their sparkling eyes.
Great Country for Bees.
This will also be a great bee country
In time. With tho warm weather In
Spring a honey substance settles upon
tho grass and actually makes It sticky to
handle, and It sticks to the fetlocks of the
horses as they -wall through It. Already
wild bees swarm upon it and carry the
honey to their homes In the rocks and
crevices In the foothills.
On one of thene ranches 30 to E0 men are
employed During the driving and hay
ing sean the extreme number is reached.
In the combination of ranches of the Pa
cific Livestock Company, there are prob
ably S30000 acres of land. It Is all busi
ness and rush during the bunching season.
This occurs in tho Tall when the ship
ping comes on. The best steers are gath
erad from all the ranches and driven to
the WWte Horse ranch. Here COO or
EDO are selected and bunched and driven to
the market. The shipping points, from
this ranch are Ontario. Or.. ISO miles
awav, or "Winnemucca, Nev., which Is
ISO miles distant. The shipping point is
determined by the market, it the South
ern market Is best the cattle are driven
to Winnemucca, and If the Eastern mar
ket Is better, Ontario Is the shipping
point. Another busy time is the marking
season. Tills Is In the Spring, when men
are started out to mark and brand to
prevent "rustlers" from getting, in their
work.
This great stock range extends 60 miles
south from White Horse and 130 miles
north. Outside of tho company's en
closures there are what are called public
ranges. These are used until the haying
season is over. .No trouble arises, be
tween the stockmen as they have a sort
of mutual division of this range that is
respected by all. On these ranches horses
are raised only for ranch use saddle, work
and haying horses. About 200 head of sad
dle horses are kept on the White Horse
ranch and about 100 work horses. A great
rumber are used by the company in Cal
ifornia. The Winter is often mild and but little
feeding necessary outside of the" -work
animals and stock that Is being fattened.
The snow rarely falls more than two
Inches In depth. The range horses get
no care except in Spring. Good 'horses
.re raised on this ranch and the grades,
are all the time being improved. Ten
thousand dollars -was refused for a span
of stallions a short time ago.
A great number of these ranches lie
around the base of Steins" Mountain.
Thev are thus sheltered from the cold
w.nds of Winter in many places and the
melting snovss of Spring irrigate the
natural meadows.
C E. Kenyan, Mayor of Burns, Is as
sistant general manager of the Pacific
Livestock Company's system of ranches.
J- C Beatty who has been foreman of
the White Horse ranch for nine years,
furnished much of the information here
given.
World Biggest Stride Ranch.
Tho Freach-Gienn Company's ranch,
known as the "P" ranch, the largest sin
gle ranch ia the world, contains more
than 126,800 acres under fence. It is 70
roUts south from Burns at the base of
Steins Mountain In P Ranch Valley. One
etring of fence alone is 80 relies long, bar
ing a gap el stx or eight miles. The
Dander and BUtacn River runs through j in neview, as It were, consisted of the
this ranch. Thtu-e are 25,000 to 30.000 head , bunkhouses and stable 'for the horses.
of cattle on this ranch, and about 2000 ) If we don't have rairC- say the hopmen,
horses and mules Eight thousand Xaj" harrt will o a grand one.
10,030 tons of hay are cut annually on this
ranclx It is an empire .vrlthln itself fine
buildings, fish streams, broad meadows,
groves of timber, fruit trees, natural
parks, deer and elk and everything that
is wild and grand. Probably 50 men. are
employed on this ranch. The -shipping
points are Ontario, Huntington and Win
nemucca. The Divine ranch, another of the great
ranches of the county, was recently cov
ered in The Oregonlan .by an interview
with John S. TJivine, the owner. This
ranch is situated at the southeast base
of Steins Mountain at a point known as
lAlvord. It -was the temporary camp of
i soldiers in early days. There are 17 elk
toi thla ranch kept to themselves on a
BO-acre tract of ground enclbsed with
smooth-wire fence. Large herds of deer
also roam this ranch unmolested.
-The Riley ranch, 80 miles, southwest
from Burns, contains 12,000 to 15,000 acres,
and stock and improvements in propor
tion. The Shirk ranch in Callow Valley con
tains 5000 to C000 aires' and la, noted for
being one of the prettiest ranches In the
county. It is 100- miles from Burns.
The-Slsson ranch lies along the southern
boundary line of the county and state
and contains about 12,000 acres of deeded
lands. It is in Trout Creek Valley. There
are 4000 to 5000 head of high-grade cattle
on this ranch.
There are hundreds of other ranches on
a smaller scale in this county that would
be regarded as wonderful outside of Har
ney "County and Eastern Oregon, but
-when they get below the thousands of
acres here they are regarded as lacking
in interest.
GOOD FOB gHfAT.lt CAMP.
Snt IVothing at Kome to Justify the
Extraordinary Rash.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 22. Captain C
E. Hansen, who has had much experience
in the northern country aaa Hudson's
Bay Company pilot, in a personal letter
from Nome has the following tcsay about
the country:
"I had a lay on a-claim on Anvil Creek,
but 1 could not raise a color, so gave it
up and took a lay on a claim on Glacier
Creek, withfour others. We spent in all
.17 days getting ready and sluicing, and
we averaged about 78 cents a day to the
man after giving up half to the owner.
There was some good ground on that
claim, but we found it spotted, and hard
to find the next spot. after .working out
the first, so we .have abandoned that.
The truth is that with a few, exceptions
on Anvil Creek,. some on Dexter and one
or two on Buster, '.there- are no paying
claims In' the country; and those. claims
are not paying because there is no" water
to work them with. After I,, had been
here a few days, I came to the' conclu
sion that this would make a .good camp
for about 2500' oraOQO men, but I think
that estimate too'hlgh.' as the beach Is
all -workea out. ana, though there Is some
money taken out, as there Is a great
number -working, the'average to the'man
I think would not exceed XI a day.
"What beats me is that the old-timers,
that Is, those who -were here last year,
are worse lost than those that just came.
Outside and on-theway here they were
rich, with lots of property, "but you find
them now. whether loafingaround town
or in the hills, more at .sea than the
newcomers. The .beach accounts for this,
somewhat, as no doubt last year there
-was some money taken out, and I think
that after they got out last- Fall 'they
heard so much of the richness of Nome
-at Seattle that they got to believe that
they had left a country overlaid with
gold and Nome Is decidedly better! the
farther you get from it.
"Everything here ls-about as cheap as
In Seattle, and some' articles much cheap
er. I saw quicksilver that sold at 31
per pound at Seattle Just before we left,
sell hero for 45 cents."

McCook, In a report to "the State, De

The prices on vegetables and meats have
taken a drop from exorbitant to almost
normal, although this has not affected
the prices in the restaurants. ,
"The Tanana mining district Is becom
ing more and more prominent. The
country is rich but difficult of access.
Mosqultos are very numerous and sav
age on the trail, and some persons re
turning from this district to Dawson City
were so badly bitten that medical au
thorities mistook the bites for marks of
the dreaded smallpox and detained
them."
Consul McCook anticipates a stampede
to the Tanana fields when the Winter
sets In, as "then tho travel over the Ice
and snow will be available by dog and
horse sleds.

not satisfactory to it, and the contract
has not been signed. It appears that,
notwithstanding the statement made by
somo of the Councilmen at the meeting
on Monday evening, the provisions of the
ordinance as submitted and passed had
not been previously agreed to by the elec
tric light company. And It can be defi
nitely stated that the company will not
sign a one-year contract at the rate of
$7 50 per light per month.

-CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Tonne Man Reported to Police That
He Had Been Robbed.
EUGENE, Oiv Aug. 22. Walter Shelley
was arrested esterday by Sheriff Withers
on a charge of larceny by bailee, and
was brought before Justice Wlntermeier
this afternoon for preliminary examina
tion. Some weeks ago, while Shelley -svas
acting as night clerk in the Hotel Eu
gene, he reported to the officers one night
that he had been held up and robbed
near the corner of Willamette and Fifth
streets. He reported that the most im
portant item of which he had been robbed
was an envelope containing ?90 In bills
which had been entrusted to him for safe
keeping by a patron of the hotel. The
officers, who w ent to the place cf the. re
ported robbery as soon, as notified, fol
lowed the supposed robbers in the direc
tion indicated by v Shelley and found on
the sidewalk the envelope that had con
tained the money, It having been torn
open, and in it remained two $10 bills.
For some reason the officers at once sus
pected Shelley, and since that time have
kept a close watch' of his movements.
They have followed him, and whenever
he has been in a store or anywhere to
make any purchases the officers have
found out the amount of his purchases
and the kind of money used In making
payment, and have werjeed up a case on
which the arrest was made. Shelley
maintains his Innocence, and advance"?
the Idea that the man who left the
money In his care was bent on mischief. '
Shelley is the man upon whom Major
Ellis performed a delicate operation at
Cavite, which resulted In 'restoring his
eyesight after he had become totally
blind from the effects of measles. At
the conclusion of the hearing the Justice
took the matter under advisement until
tomorrow.
Tho correspondence received at the
State University indicates that the at
tendance the coming year will be much
larger thah ever before. Inquiries for
boarding-places and all details about the
university are coming In by the score
from all parts of the'stato. In the mat
ter of board and rooms, the demand will
be about as great as the supply, and in
cases, where families want to move here
and rent houses It' is almost impossible
to' find houses In the city to rent.
The 3000 yards of crushed rock recently
contracted for by the city is now being
delivered upon the streets. Quite a force
of men and teams are engaged in this
work. About 2 miles cf 'street will be
treated with this crushed rock, spread
ing it over the gravel already there and
settled.
Mr. Allen is now buying Bartlett pears
at the cannery, which he is shipping to
Salem for canning, the quantity offered
not being sufficient to justify keeping
two canneries running. Quite a quantity
of pears are being delivered, and they
are of fair quality.
Bnll Rnn Bridge to Be Repaired.
OREGON CITY. Aug. 22. The County
Board of Commissioners has come to
agreemenr-wlth the Portland Water Com
mission in reference to making some
needed repairs on the Bull Run bridge,
across the Sandy River, whereby the
county is to pay 25 per cent of the cost
of the improvement. The bridge Is of
kmore benefit to the water commission on
account of the Bull Run pipe line than
it is to a sparsely settled section of
Clackamas County, hence this distribu
tion of the pro rata cost of making re
eral causes, both are hereditary ana dependent upon an impure ana im
Qovished blood supply. In consumption the disease fastens itself upon
the lungs ; in Scrof ula the glands of the neck and throat swell and suppurate, causing ugly running sores;
the. eyes are inflamed and weak ; tljere is an almost continual discharge from the ears, the limbs swell,
bones a.che, and white swelling is freauently a result, causing the diseased bones to work out through
the skin, producingindescribable pain and suffering. Cutting away a sore or diseased gland does no
good ; the blood is poisoned. The old scrofulous taint which, has probably come down through several
; generations has poljuted every drop of blood'.
Scrofula requires vigorous, persistent treatment. The blood must be brought back to a healthy
condition before the terrible disease can be stopped in its work of destruction. Mercury, potash and
other poisonous minerals usually given in such cases do more harm than good ; theroin the digestion
