OREGON RAISERS SUFFER
; Seriousness of Lip and Leg Ulcera
( tion to Be Made Subject of In
y qulry "Wyoming Scare
Thought Exaggerated.
, PEiNBLETON, Or.. Jan. B. (Special.)
Oregon's State Board of Sheep Com
vTnlssioners, through its secretary. Dan I.
Smy the, of this city, has undertaken "a
t movement which is to. culminate in a
? meeting of National importance at Og-
den this -week, in connection with- the an-
riual convention of the National Wool-
growers' Association. It will be a meet
ing of all the boards of sheep commis-
" sloners, sanitary boards and state veterl-
narlans who have jurisdiction over sheep
- diseases in Western states.
L "There has been considerable friction
because of the movement of sheep from
one state to another, which it was not
possible to reach through the Federal
Bureau of Animal Industry," says Sec-
retary Smythe. "Clean and healthy
sheep have been subjected to numerous
dippings and quarantines. By reason of
these conditions the price of sheep sold
by Oregon growers to be shipped to
other states has been affected. With a
1 view of co-operating with each other
t- and to having uniform and harmonious
quarantine inspection and shipping laws,
f It was thought feasible to call a meeting
, of the 'sanitary boards to meet, probably
every year In connection with the annual
convention of the National Woolgrowers'
Association.
Wyoming Badly Scared.
"Probably the Issue which brought
' about more particularly than anything
else this convention is the action of the
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry in
the quarantine of Bheep affected with
f lip and leg ulceration. Some time ago
i Wyoming became badly scared at an out
J break and asked the bureau to take hold
i in that etate and stamp it out. It be
'came so widespread, however, that the
J regulations threatened to affect the in-
terstate movement of every state in the
West, and sore-mouthed lambs were held
. up and not allowed to be shipped inter-
date, exposed clean sheep and exposed
pheep not showing the disease were
tagged 'exposed sheep lip and leg ulcera
tion and could only be sold for slaugh
ter. ' " "Such drastic action on the part of any
state or the Federal Government would
mean a tremendous loss to the sheep in-
nustry throughout the West, and almost
(the prohibition of Interstate movement of
i a large part of the sheep in all Western
' , States, because it is found that this germ,
t necro baccallosis, is common everywhere
and should a sheep get sore mouth from
eating coarse (food or frosted grass, it
forms a toed and the germ immediately
takes hold. However, the shee-p. com
. mission of Oregon and the state sheep
inspector, together with veterinarians in
practically all the Western States, have
been Investigating the disease thorough
ly the past year and especially during the
past six months, and have found it is not
serious and that sheep will get well of
their own accord. It will not kill them
or hurt them.
Rules to Be lVnnulated.
"Whether or not it is the same form
as that in Wyoming Is to be determined
and the meeting to be held at Ogden will
formulate rules arid regulations which
will permit sheep to move from one state
to another.
"Sheepmen assert that this disease has
always been prevalent among Bheep and
some testify that they have known Its
existence aa far back as 40 years ago. If
' it should prove serious, as suggested in
" Wyoming, the united action of the sani
tary boards of the entire West and the
llnlted States Bureau of Animal Industry
Will be taken to stamp it out.
"It also has been suggested that uni
form bounty laws be taken up and other
matters which the etate officials have to
deal with.
"The Bureau of Animal Industry has
expressed a willingness to co-operate with
such a movement and are willing to take
the advice of these Western boards in
handling this disease."

IX C. Jan. E. State Railroad
Commissione v Oswald West, of Oregon,
is in Washington to confer with, the
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission regarding the work of the
Oregon State Commission. He is de
sirous that the Oregon Commission

fore taking this step he wishes to as
certain if that plan is thoroughly in
dorsed by Interstate Commission data
as to express rates in the East for com
parison with Wells-Fargo rates in Ore
gon, which are under fire as being ex
cessive. Commissioner West will also gather

SURVEYORS MAKING MAPS
Southern Pacific Finds It Has No
Chart of Newport Road.
NEWPORT, Or., Jan. 6. (Special.)
The Southern Pacific surveyors left Ya
quina Bay today, having completed their
survey, for Toledo. They will now make
a map of the Corvallis & Eastern Rail
road. Strange to say. the Southern Pa
cific has no map of that line. Some time
ago, when Lieutenant Hayden, U. S. A.,
tried to get a map of the road, be re
ceived a letter from an official, who bad
promised him one, stating that investiga
tion showed that there was. no map of
the C. & E. Railroad in their possession.
The C. & E. has greatly improved since
coming into the hands of the Southern
Pacific Company. The company now
runs a passenger and freight train in
stead of a'mlxed train, which has greatly
imoroved the schedule. Excursion rates
from Taqulna can be obtained at inter
vals, a thing unknown in the past.

THIEVES GET S700
FROM SIX CHINESE
Four Robbers, Faces Blacked,
Batter Furniture and
Shanty Dwellers.
THUGS MAKE QUICK ESCAPE
Aged Victim Who Tries to Flee, Is
Felled Unconscious Sheriff
Sends Out Posse, but Search of
Vicinity" Avails Nothing.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Jan. 5. (Spe
cial.) Their faces blackened, four rob
bers held up six Chinamen on a ranch
owned by Professor Patrick Hough and
under lease to the Chinese, two miles
below this place soon after 6 o'clock
tonight, entered the ranchhouse where
the Chinamen lived and after almost
completely demolishing every article of
furniture, trunk and box In the place,
secured between $G00 and $700 and van
ished into the growing darkness. . The
robbers tried to give their victims the
impression they were colored men, but
the attempted disguise' was ineffective,
and all the Chinamen say the men were
white.
The ranch is under lease to Mon Sing,
one of the Chinamen. He employes the
other five.
When the robbers came up, Mon Sing
and one of his men, known as Old Sam,
were in the house. The other four were
in the truck garden. ' Two of the men
compelled the four Chinamen to hold up
their hands and remain outside while
the leader of the gang, with another
man, entered the house. The .two China
men were surprised while preparing the
evening meal and were compelled to
stand up against the wall of the main
room with their hands raised.
Furniture Is Ail Smashed.
One of the robbers took a heavy blud
geon and commenced ransacking the
house, searching for money. He did not
stop to open drawers or boxes, but de
molished everything that looked like it
contained money, even ripping planks
from the floor and wail, finally discover
ing the bidden treasure in a teakwood
box, .of costly make and design. This he
demolished with a swoop of the bludgeon.
The Chinamen were compelled' to remove
all their clothing, which the robbers
searched for money.
Old Sam made a break for liberty at
one time but the robber with the blud
geon ceased his ransacking long enough
to whack the old Chinaman over the
head with the heavy instrument, felling
him unconscious.
Ofle of the four Chinamen outside was
served in a similar manner because he
started to run.
The robber leader placed the money,
most of which was in gold coin, in a bag
he extracted from a ragged pocket, and
after admonishing the Celestials not to
stir from the house for one hour, fled.
Posse Searches in Vain.
The Chinamen, however, did not heed
the warning, but ran to the nearest tele
phone, which was 30 minutes' distant,
and notified the Sheriff of Clark County
and the Vancouver police. A posse was
at once organized, but as the robbers"
victims were unable to furnish an ade
quate description of the men, nothing
was gained by the search, which covered
the vicinity for many miles.
The Portland police were notified and
it is believed the men have headed for
that city.

The question as to whether he ehouid

ferred to the Attorney-General, who to
day rendered the. following opinion:
Opinion Rendered by Official.
"Warrants - are not negotiable instru
ments in the sense that a defense can
not b made against the payment of the
same in the hands of a purchaser that
could not be made in the hands of the
original payee.
"Our Supremo Court held in Bargely
vs. Sternberg, 17 "Wash., page 243, also 17
Wash., page 23, as follows: 'Warrants
issued by a city are not negotiable in
the sense of excluding Inquiry into the
legality of their issue or of excluding
defenses thereto, as a subsequent holder
does not occupy the position of an in
nocent purchaser.
"If any of the warrants you mention
were (issued by the Auditor through in
advertence, negligence or mistake, and
without consideration, you would have
the right and power to refuse payment
upon receiving knowledge of these facts.
Inability Question in Doubt.
- "As to your liability and the liability
of your bondsmen In case you should
pay these warrants after such knowl
edge, I am not so clear; but the question
is so doubtful that you would be war
ranted in refusing to pay these warrants
until ordered to do so by the court.
"As to the manner of calling warrants.
In case you should decide that you should
not pay certain of the warrants, you
should make your call for the warrants
between certain numbers,., and then state,
except number so and so, upon which
payment will be refused."
