within a few minutes of that which
demolished the bunkhouse struck th
building in which Thone was working,
crushing It to kindling wood.
Snowslides have been of frequent oc
currence within th past few day be
caus of the mild temperature In the
Coeur d'Alene. Th danger la said to
be rapidly approaching the conditions
which existed In the Spring of 110.
The Big Creek mines are five miles
from Wallace. While the miners wer
gathered around th supper table to

JOSEPH. Wallowa County, Oregon.
Jan. . (Special Correspondence.)
Wallowa County, bounded by Baker
County on th south and Union County
on the west. I in the egtreme north
eastern part of Oregon. Idaho bounding
It on the east and Washington on the
north. Joseph Is In the south central
part of the coHnty. being situated about
43 miles due east of La Grand and
7U miles north of Huntington. This
is the termlnu of a branoh line of the
O.-W. R. A N- Railway lesding from
La Orande here. -
This road crosses the Grande Rondo
Valley nearly north through Allcel and
Imbler, then soon plunges into the
canyon of the Grande Ronde River and
reaches Elgin, which was the terminus
for a number of years. Continuing a
little east of north, following down
the Grande Ronde closely to Rondowa.
37 miles from La Grande, th conflu
ence of the Wallowa and Grande Ronde
Is reached, and here the road turns
to the southeast and follows up the
Wallowa River to this place. 47 miles
from Rondowa. S4 miles from La
Grande. .
. Joseph is set down In the census of
1!00 as having i87 people, and in 1910
the population Is given as 725, but the
town apparently has a good many more
inhabitants than that. Those well in
formed claim 1160. but that is probably
Bb much too high as the census figures
are too low. Looking carefully over
the number of buildings it seems that
1U00 would not miss the population
very widely.
Wallowa Lake la Valuable.
Whenever one hears of this section
of the. state the mind Instantly adverts
to the wonderful Wallowa Lake, which
lies sbout a mile south of Joseph. In
many rerpects this Is one of the most
unique and valuable bodie.s of water
in Oregon. IT lies Just on a bench in
the foothills of what have formerly
been called the Powder Mountains, now
officially named by the Geologlcnl
Survey as the Wallowa Mountains
These mountains are very rugged and
cover a large territory. In height at
least one of the peaks, a few miles
from here, formerly known as Eagle
Cap but now officially Mount Joseph. Is
about the same as Mount Hood. It Is
a peak of everlasting snow, and has
much of the beauty of Hood or Rainier.
The laka I mentioned lies 218 feet
above the town. As the lake Is fed
from the melting snow and ice and
never-falling springs above it. its
waters are as pure and cold as can be
found anywhere. The great fall of the
outlet, the Wallowa River, gives a
fore of many tnounano nmrrju-.,
ven In the first two mile: but the fall
continue about 100 feet to the mile
for many miles. . . .
There is an electric plant already In
stalled by Joseph capital which fur
nishes the lights for Joseph and lights
and power for most of the farmhouses
and barna for miles around. The plant
baa been pronounced by electrical ex
pert as one of the most perfeot In ths
country. ,
Lake Water Aid Valley.
The principal fnnctlon'of the laka is
the watering of th lands of the valley;
and here is to be found about as fine
Irrigating plants as there are in the
West. Something like 75.000 acres of
lands are now watered, and the systems
sr about the bast and most economical
to be found anywhere. When you con
sider the voluro of water in th lake
(It is Ave mil long by a mile and a
balf wide and has a depth reaching in
many places over 400 feet). Such a
body of water with a large and swift
flowing river as an outlet and lying
from 300 to 1800 feet above the con
tiguous open country. Is an asset almost
beyond calculation.
Joseph gets its water supply from
this lake. There is a sufficient supply
to drawrom for a city larger than
Portland will be SO years from now.
I have only mentioned one lake, be
cause that Is the only one of con
venient access, but there are dosena of
them not far above Lake Joseph. One
of these, called Ice Lake, Is constantly
covered with Ice from three to ten
feet In depth. In the heat of Summet
this Ice sometimes gets rather mushy,
but it never entirely disappears. This
lake Is almost as large as Lake Joseph.
The altitude of Joseph Is around 4100
feet, but the town Is at the highest
part of what may be called the valley,
and the lands farmed are from 10 to
600 feet less than' thst. The Summer
climate Is almost Ideal. There are said
to be but few files and no mosquitoes,
the nights are delightful for rest and
th days never too warm for comfort.
As sn agricultural section the valley is
gaining rapidly In production; but it
must be remembered that it is only the
last two seasons that there has been
rail communication with the outside
world. Before that everything had to
j . i." ' i a t
be nauien in ani put ir,mi
miles, and b'eforeAhat 84 miles from
La Grand.
Country Good for Stock.
As a atock country this section hss
long stood as one of the best; and as
such It Is now forging to th front as
the producer of much of the best stock
shipped to Portland. The range coun

He Is a roan of affairs, being; at th
head of the First Bank of Joseph, a
strong financial Institution organized a
quarter of a century ago; he is the
senior member of McCully Co.. the
largest mercantile establishment in this
section; owns a water-works system; is
one of the principal stockholders of the
electric light plant: Is interested In the
creamery; a heavy realty owner; is a
large owner of range stock, and Is Just
now devoting much attention to feed
ing stock for the Portland market,the
firm being McCully & Rumbo.
Their feeding pens are just in the
edge of town, and the owners think
they have the best plant in Oregon.
These p.ns are electric lighted, city
water runs through every pen. all of
the hay 'cutting and feed chopping is
done by electrical power and if any
cattle feeder can give them any point
ers to improve their plant they will be
very glad to make the necessary
changes. At these pens there are now
11.000 sheep, and they have shipped
several carloads within the past few
months. That their stock Is turned out
In prime condition Is evidenced by tha
fact that on both of their last ship
ments of mutton sheep and lambs they
have topped the Portland market by
nearly three-quarters of a cent a pound.
They have, however, a grievance
against somebody unknown, for the
stock warn credited In the published re
ports to Idaho.
In addition to the McCully A Rumbo
sheep there are many other bands. As
an indication of what this feeding
means here, the sheep shipped as men
tioned above were bought here by an
outside buyer at ti a head to be
shipped to Chicago and fed near there.
Those already marketed brought $4.65
per bead. Hence the purchase of these
15.000 head, and feeding them here,
saved nearly 840,000 to the people of
Oregon.
Furore for Hay Seen.
This industry promises to revolu
tionize the stock business In Wallowa
County, and when the people see what
there is in the business, the hay that
has heretofore gone begging at low
prices will go into livestock and pay
the feeders and owners a big dividend.
During the last year there have been
shipped from Joseph close to 600 car
loads of livestock. That was consider
able for the second year of the rail
road: but there will be over 100 car
loads of sheep alone shipped from here
this month. Thirty cars were sent out
during- the first five days of the month,
and 35 cars will go out between the
8th and 13th. And there are 20 cars of
fat cattle about ready for shipment. So
1912 probably will double the shipments
of 1911.
Among the other shipments during
the year were 2500 tons of barley, 1000
tons of oats, 1500 tons of wheat. 1200
tons of hay, 100 tons of rye and 1,000.
000 pounds of woofc Such figures will
give an insighn Into the products of the
county. And. with the exception of
wool, practically all shipments go to
Portland. Some Chicago buyers come
in and pick up the very best of the
mutton sheep and lambs; but the pres
ent market facilities of Portland will
soon stop that, save' In what may be
called multon famines in the lake re
gions. Joseph has one of the finest'of high
school buildings, andt;ier are several
churchea, the new Methodist Episcopal
being one of the handsomest edifices
anywhere. There are many large
stores with large stocks in all lines.
It Is said that the McCully Company
pays an average of $700 a month- for
Incoming freight for their store alone.
There are two strong banks, the one
before mentioned and the First Na
tional. Two good hotels r and which
ever one you go to you will be glad
of your choice, for they are both good
enough for anybody. I am stopping at
the Hotel Joseph, and the meals are as
good, the rooms as comfortable and the
beds aa reposeful as any I have found
on my trip.
ROBBERY PLAN TOLD
VAXCOTJVER PRISONER SATS HE
REFUSED TO DO JOB.
Man at Stevenson, Wra9h., Tells of
Plot to Break Woodland Bank.
Other's Story Agrees.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 13. (Spe
cial.) The quarrelling of two suspects,
one In the County Jail at Stevenson,
Wash., and the other in the City Jail
of Vancouver, may lead to the finding
of a criminal wanted in the Northwest
for bank robbery or counterfeiting.
A detective agency In Portland, rep
resenting the American Bankers As
sociation, received information Satur
day night that th Bank of Woodland,
Wash., waa going to be held np aome
time between then and January zu. une
information was from Jack Mann, who
had been arrested and jailed for being
drunk. He had told several eBusiness
men there before he was arrested. He
said that Charlton, who was to do the
robbery, was a bad man, and he wanted
him to be arrested and kept and tried
for planning to rob the bank.
The detective left Portland Wednes
day for Stevenson, where Mann's story-
was secured and a description oi nan
ton furnished. Charlton was found
working in a restaurant here last night
and after he had been told that Mann
had given him away. He told the
police that Mann had attempted to per
suade him to hold up the Woodland
bank and outlined a plan which h said
was promulgated by Mann.
The plan as told by Charlton tallies
exactly with what Mann told the. de
tective, and each admits being with
the other. Mann is 45 years old.
Charlton is about 81.

LTflVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or, Jan. 12. Still another new course
to be offered at the university for the
Spring semester Is one in "Dietetics-'
to be given by Professor A. R. Sweet
ser, the state biologist. In the curri
culum it ia styled aa economical bot
any or botany 7.
Thta course is to embrace a study
of plant foods, dietetic values, common
adulterations, proper methods of food
preparation and an estimate of the
most economical and effective food
combinations. Spices and drinks will
be tested with regard to their compar
ative nutritive value, v It is thought
that the new course will be of espe

Aberdeen Expenses Total High.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 12. (Spe

presented to the City Council last night
by City Treasurer Roy Sargent. In his
report the Treasurer gives the total
cash receipts from all sources ss JS30.
114.44. The principal item of revenue
comes from the sale of municipal
bonds, amounting to J140.000; special
improvement bonds, 76.700; licenses,
$86,665.15; special assessments. J259,

Standards Hereafter to Bo "Honor,"
"Superior," "Medium," "Pass"
and "Failure" for Students.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) Planning to
establish eventually a uniform scale
of scholarship grading for all the
courses throughout the university, the
faculty body haa expunged the former
"A," "B," "C," "D," "E" standards of
grading and instituted in their stead
H" (honor), "S" (superior), "M" (me
dium), "P" (P and "F"' (failure.)
The new system Is to become effective
when the second semester opens Febru
ary 12.
The recommendation Is that all de
partments, over a course of several
years, grade their classes in approxi
mately this ratio: One-quarter of the
students above medium; one-half, me
dium, and another quarter below me
diums Statistics prepared by a faculty
committee show that the proportionate
grades usually fall Into three such
groups, but that some professors in
variably mark most of their students
above the medium line, while others
are liberal with low and failure marks.
Under the new ruling It is hoped
that an "H" or an "S" will mean as
much in one department as in another.
The new scale ia not intended to ap
ply rigidly In any one class, the dis
tribution of marks being optional and
