CJRANITBX Or., Oct. 12.-(Special.) An other season for grazing sheep and other slock on the Eastern Division of the Blue Mountain National Forest has passed, and the sheepmen have now had two years' experience of practical demonstra tion of the workings of the National Forest system. There seems to be con siderable difference ot opinion as to the benefits, la many instances dissatisfac tion being expressed. Some of the al lotments were far from satisfactory, the grass on them giving out early in the Summer, "While others seemed to have more grass than was needed. Because of this It Is cald that the meeting on De cember, when the new allotments are made, will see the sheepmen fighting among themselves to secure choice ranges instead of standing together for their own interests, as they have here tofore. Practically all the sheep are now clear of the reserve, having left the mountains for the Winter range. Before starting sheepmen here were heard to say that it was douKful if they would try to secure an allotment on the National Forest for their stook next year. They find that it is cheaper to rent a range from private Interests than to get the same privileges from tha Government. There are thou sands of acres of timberland in the Blue Mountains that have been dead as tlm. ber lands, and sheepmen will endeavor to secure range on these lands.

Brown. ALBANY. Or., Oct. 12. (Special.)-iFor a few hours today it was believed that the murderer of Harvey K. Brown was In hiding near Crawfordsville, In the foot hills of Linn County, but tonight officers are satisfied that the man under surveil lance knows nothing about the crime. His only connection with the dynamiting of Brown rests on the drunken "corffes sion" of Frank Tucker, in Jail at Baker City, which Tucker has since repudiated. For his name is Frank Wilson and be answers in a general way the descrip tion of the "kimono man," who Is sup posed to have pulled the wire which sent Brown to his death. This morning Sheriff Smith and his deputies heard of a Frank Wilson, now 4 ,A S , - - "-v----w!tiwi"ittiir' ""V MR. AND MRS. W. II. PERRY, OF HOOD RIVER, WHO HAVE! BEEN MARRIED FIFTY YEARS. staying' at Crawfordsville, one of the most remote of the foothill towns. This man come from Kansks several years ago and worked in the vicinity of Browns ville and Crawfordsville. Three years ago he went to Eastern Oregon. - He ap peared in Brownsville a few days after the Brown murder, got a shave at a barber shop, remarking he had just come from Eastern Oregon, and hastily left for Crawfordsville. When Tucker's confession appeared in the papers an officer at Brownsville re called these circumstances and has since been keeping track of Wilson. Today he communiated with the Sheriffs office here and an investigation disclosed that this Wilson is now visiting at Crawfords ville, at the , home of George Finley. a well-known man, on whose ranch he was employed for a long time 'before he left for Eastern Oregon. A fact which helped establish the identity of Wilson was that when he was in this city on his way to Crawfordsville last week he called at the Sheriff's office here and paid some delinquent taxes on land near Crawfordsville assessed to "W. F. Wilson." He remarked then that he was on his way to visit George Finley, at Crawfordsville. The murderer of Harvey Brown would not have been likely to tell the Sheriff where he could be found the next few weeks. Inquiry at Crawfordsville elicits the in formation that Wilson was never known to have been a member of the Western Federation of Miners or to have formed any other associations which might have involved him in any way with the Baker City murder. He is between 45 and 50 years old, is about S feet 2 inches tall. Fountain Erected at Oreiron City Through Efforts of the Humane Society. OREGON CITY. Or., Oct 12. (Special.)

A man who owns a fine coffee plantation in Jamaica said: "Four years ago I discovered that coffee was ruining- my health, and I quit and have been using Postum ever since.' Experience taught this man that he could not drink his own high-grade coffee. Its active drug caffeine irritates the nervous system, interferes with digestion, and trouble is sure to follow. Some folks may take the hint and change to Postum. It is absolutely free from drugs, and when well made, that is, boiled 15 minutes, it has a delic ious taste similar to the mild, high grade Javas, with the natural vital food elements of the. field grains that repair the damage done by coffee.

In the vegetable lines, the list Is com plete and the samples of cabbages, pota toes, tomatoes, squash, beets, etc. are so large that an accurate account of their measurement and weight would endanger the public estimate of The Oregonian's veracity.
