It was supposed that the whole Agricultural College was I aooara, ana tne surprise was very great OUTPUT OF OREGOX RANGES NOW MARKETED ON COAST. , Between 10,000 and 20,000 Covr Pon ies Sold to British Government Horses for U. S. Army. C. J. Minis, livestock agent of the O. R. & N. Co., has returned from a three weeks trip through the grazing regions of Eastern Oregon, and he left last night for Chicago to attend the convention of the National Livestock Association. Mr MI11I9 reports a significant change in con ditions of the range stock business in Oregon. Whereas the rule has been to ship animals from the Oregon, ranges to the feed yards of the Missouri River re gion to be fattened for the Eastern mar ket, now most of the Oregon cattle are fattened at home and marketed on the Coast. Thi9 change has come about large ly within the past year, though there has been a tendency in that direction since the Alaska trade assumed considerable proportions. A good deal of Oregon beef Is now exported beyond the Pacific, to the Philippines and other markets. Mr. Millls Is of the opinion thdt If Portland had more packing-houses it would get a much larger proportion of the meat trade that is now based on the ranges of this state. Puget Sound packing-houses draw heavily on. the cattle and sheep of Ore gon for their supplies, and San Francisco reaches up Into the southern part of the state for livestock. Portland's opportu nity for controlling the cream of the meat trade of the Orient is regarded as unsur passed. While cattle and sheep are moving to the Coast shambles, Oregon horses are going East In great numbers. Mr. Millls estimates the number shipped In the past three months at between 10,000 and 12,000, most of which went to Lathrop, Mo., for delivery to agents of the British Govern ment. These, are almost exclusively of the class known as cow ponies and are designed for the use of mounted infantry in South Africa. These purchases contin ue unchecked, and they make a very sat isfactory market for the horses of East ern Oregon, which is regarded as the best source of supply for such animals. The Vnlted States Government has also been buying quite a number of horses in that region, but these nre of higher grade, for cavalry and artillery purposes. Even Germany has taken several hundred Ore gon horses for Its army. Cow ponies- used by the British mounted Infantry are sold for 550 to $35 apiece, de livered at the railroad. Cavalry horses bring $50-to $80 each and the heavy draft animals for artillery service run as high as $125 each. The Oregon horeegrower has no cause to grumble at these prices. In clean Government coin, and without any shipping risks or expenses. The range horse business is in very prosperous con dition. Sheep ranges have been so crowded this year that there has been a marked ten dency among the flocks to slop over onto cattle ranges, and there has been an un usual amount of friction between the two grazing Interests. The number of sheep still in' Oregon is well up toward 4,000,00), and the addition of 2,500.000 to 3,000,000 by the Spring crop of lambs will make heavy marketing inevitable, and unless there shall be some demand not now foreseen It Is feared prices of mutton will go down. The consumer will welcome this move ment, but the Oregon producers will not relish It. All livestock in Eastern Oregon is in ex cellent condition and promises to weather the "Winter without damage. They Gave College Yell. Quite a crowd of students .from the State Agricultural College started down on the boat "Wednesday from Corvallis for vari ous points. Ten .stopped at Salem and others at Oregon City. The remainder when only four students Marlon Stokes, v,uesier jrroeasiei, m. .tnngnam and A. . Wells marched down the gang-plank. The thought of the by-standers was, if four students can make such a noise, what could the whole college do? CHEAP HOMES IN LINCOLN. . Settlers Taking: Advantage of Chance to Get Indian Lands. B. F. Jones, ex-County Clerk of Lin coln County. ex-Mayor of Toledo and a leading lawyer of the Yaquina country, has been spending a few days in Port land this week. He says there is a con siderable movement of settlers into Lin coln County, particularly into the north ern part, where the opening of the In dian lands offers opportunities for cheap homes. A large part of the unoccupied land is covered with merchantable tim ber, but there is only one way to get title to it, and that is by homestead en try, the laws not permitting timber pur chases within the limits of the Siletz reservation'. Many of the timbered tracts have been entered as homesteads at the land office, the entrymen intending to commute at the end of six months, and pay cash Instead of residing on the land the full five years, as is required for com pleting homestead title. A considerable number of these claims are now ripening into commuted titles and the land and timber will soon be in condition to war rant operations for manufacturing and marketing lumber. It Is estimated that there are about 50, 000 acres of valuable timber land to be opened up in that reservation. The easi est way to market is over the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad, but it will require the building of a branch about 10 miles long, northward from Toledo, to penetrate the timber. The route has been reconnol tered and found to be feasible, and It Is expected the railroad will be ready by the time there shall be any considerable amount of timber for transportation. The removal of timber will greatly ex tend the farming area of the Siletz coun try, the little valleys of which are already famous for their agricultural richness-. The Indians, of course, are not thorough farmers, but they already team out sev eral hundred thousand bushels of grain each year, chiefly oats. A good many of the old Indians have died since the allot ment of lands, and the law provides that in such cases the heirs, if capable of at tending to their own business affairs, will be permitted to transfer the lands to bona-fide purchasers and give immediate title. Under this regulation, quite a num ber of white families are coming Into pos session of desirable farming land that has hitherto been reserved for the inalienable use of the Indians inalienable until the 25-year period In. which the Government holds the patents In trust shall have ex pired. Both the Siletz and the Grand Ronde reservations will soon be largely occupied by white people. Mr. Jones ex pects the country to develop with com parative rapidity and it will support many large and prosperous Industries. S. B.

SLOW ON BROOKLYN ROAD DELAY AT CROSSINGS WITH THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC. Hovr Cnnvngnlng for the Lewis and Clark: Centennial Was Done Died at Age of 04. There has been some delay about the railway crossings for the Brooklyn branch of the City & Suburban Railway Com pany. This branch will cross the South ern Pacific main line twice. One crossing is at Grand avenue and East Grant street, and the other Is at the intersection of Powell and East Sixteenth streets. It was expected to have the former crossing completed before this time, but the rails mention is deserved by F. S. White, pres ident, and F. G. Urfer, of the Brooklyn board and D. M. Donaugh, of Sellwood board, for their work. Also J. M. Ed munds organized his district well. M. is. Thompson, of Central Alblna; Chappelle Brown, of University Park; Charles K. Henry, of Piedmont, and W. W. Terry, of the Stephens board, worked faithfully. On the East Side a great difficulty was encountered by the canvassers In not find ing men at home during the day, which was partly overcome by night visits. M. E. Thompson, of the Central Albina sub-board, said last night that the organ ization had turned In $950, and he thoilght It would foot up In the end to $1500. DIED AT AGE OF NINETY-FOUR. Old-Time Railroad Man Passes Away Fnnernl at Lone Fir. The funeral of Daniel Follett, who died at the Jiome of his son, Emerson Follett, 782 East Eighth street North, Wednesday, was held yesterday afternoon from tho were made for the Powell-street crossing ! home f4 hls son- H died at the great instead, where the angle is different from what Is required at Grand avenue and East Grant street. It is expected that the latter wljl be finished and put in. at once, when the branch will be finished through to Mllwaukle street, except the ballast ing. The Grand-avenue bridge over Stephens slough Is finished, as far as the railway is concerned, and all that is necessary Is to make connection at 'the Intersection of Grand avenue and East Grant street, and the track may be ballasted through to Mllwaukle street very quickly. From Mllwaukle street to the end of the route at the north entrance of the Southern Pa cific car shops the poles for the trolley wire have been set up and ties distributed, but no iron has yet been laid. At the intersection of Mllwaukle with Powell street there promises to be a con siderable business center. The intersec tion will be enlarged by the corner lot from the city's ground, which was pur chased by the City & Suburban. Railway Company to permit the turn to be made at this point. This lot becomes part of the street Intersection. Several buildings have been put up on the west side of Mllwaukle street already, In anticipation of the starting up of the cars. IN THE SHIPYARDS. Propeller Launched Work Started on Nehalexn Lumber Barges. The handsome propeller built for the Callendar Navigation Company, of As toria, In Johnston's boatyard, was launched Tuesday evening. The craft is 75 feet long and 17 feet wide, and provided with 40-horsepower engines. Ribs are of natural bent oak. As she rests In the water, the boat shows her' shapely lines. In the Johnston shipyard work has been resumed on the big schooner "barges- for the Nehalem Lumber Company. The one on which work has been resumed Is over 100 feet long. It has a flat bottom, but bow and stern will have the schooner shape. It will be strongly constructed for the transportation of lupiber. These ship's, for that Is what they are, are the largest built In Portland since the com pletion of .the 'deep-sea barges for Hale & Kern. Mr. Johnston will set up the frame for Captain Hill's sternwheeler in. his yard also In a few days. THEY WERE WELL ORGANIZED. Work of the Improvement Associa tion and Sab-Boards of Trnde. The work of the -East Side Improvement Association and the various sub-Boards of Trade on the East Side in the canvass Is pronounced most excellent. The asso ciation handled the canvass, practically between, Hawthorne avenue and Tillamook street east to the summit of Mount Tabor, in a systematic manner. Nearly all who were appointed on the canvassing com mittees cheerfully responded, and did all they could. Joseph Worth organized Sun nyslde, and Professor Grout organized Mount Tabor. Chauncey Ball and Dr. Deveny made a special effort to get Mon taville in line. The association Is now one of the strongest organizations In the city. Its membership has steadily grown until It Is now above the 300 mark. The work of the sub-boards shfws what even, small organizations may accomplish. Special age of 91 years. Daniel Follett was born In New York in 1807, nearly rounding out an entire century in his lifetime, with all Its wonderful changes, and came to Ore gon 14 years ago. He lived at Corvallis and Portland. The main portion of hi9 life was spent as a railroad man in the East. A son and a daughter survive him Emerson Follett, of Portland, and Mrs. F.

The little bunch of gentlemen who were holding down chairs In the front office of , a leading hotel all agreed that they had never seen such a freak. "We have them In Walla Walla," con tinued Mr. RIcardo. "We have quite a sprinkling of them. In fact, they are j getting- quite common, i never neara oi them anywhere else. You have all seen the pinto horses and calico cayuses of the upper country Indians. The pinto rats are marked exactly like those pinto cay uses. . "A few years ago there was not a rat in Walla Walla, and I believe there were none in the other interior towns. It was. remembered that a rat had arrived at Walla Wallla in an empty wheat car, and had been chased all over the gravel flat at the depot and killed. "But some of the fine, large, fat rats j that range around the Portland wnarves finally worked their passage Into Walla Walla on an empty wheat car and lo cated their camp under Dave Small's liv ery stable. Only a block away wa3 Charles Besserefs building. Charlie al ways was great for pets, and among those he had were some white rats. Of course he was kind to them, and let them run loose, and some of them failed to come back. They went and mixed with the rats under the stable, and In the Jerry Mc Cralth Castle, and now many pinto rats are seen around there. "Another curio that Is seen in Mill Creek and the Tum-a-lum Is a fish that no one can classify. . "When the Government fish-car was In Walla Walla some years ago Charlie Bessercr received from it a lard-bucket full of small carp. He built a pond for them on his Horace Greeley farm, and when they became strong yearlings, they kicked down the fence and escaped. Some of them cracked tlelr horns off while scurrying along the gravel roads, and some were drowned In the culverts.

A five-stamp mill is being manufactured In Portland for the Mule Mountain Min ing Company, whose works are located on tho bank of Rogue River, 45 miles from Its mouth. In Curry County. E. B. Burns, manager of the mine, who Is In the city, says a ledge of ore is now being followed which runs six to 24 feet In thickness, and at a depth of 300 feet assays ?33 a ton. Considerable rock has been shipped to San. Francisco by schooner, but when the mill is set up this will be treated at home, at a very low cost per ton. As the five stamp mill, running night and day, will crush 15 tons, the profit of the mine ought to be considerable. The ledge was discovered about four years ago, by Mr. Burns, who has spent several thousand dollars In development work. M. F. Bodley, of Portland, is in terested in the enterprise, and the corporation- Is a close one, with no stock in the market. The company has just completed the construction of an 80-ton steamer the Rogue River in Portland, and this craft is Intended to ply between the mine and Gold Beach, the county seat of Curry County. At this point concentrates will be loaded on schooners for shipment to tho smelter near San Francisco. Tho Roguo River will be towed down to Gold Beach on the next trip of the Alliance. The mill, Mr. Burns says, will be the first quartz crusher erected in Curry County. Considerable placer mining has been done In that county for many year3, but the quartz ledges from which the geld dust is supposed to have washed have hitherto been neglected. The Mule Moun tain mine is 25 miles from West Fork, a station on the Southern Pacific in Douglas County. Steep hills intervene between sta tions and mine, and there are no good wagon roads, so material and supplies will have to be taken In from Portland by way of Gold Beach and Rogue River.
