SHEEPMEN ARE NOT SATISFIED
Consider It Better to Rent Range
Than to Use Government Land.
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.

WILSON IS LOCATED
Answers to "Kimono Man,"
but Is Not Murderers
VISITING IN VALLEY TOWN
Linn County Officers Identify Per
son Whom Frank Tucker Charged
With the Assassination of
Harvey K. 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

MR. AND MRS. W. II. PERRY, OF HOOD RIVER, WHO HAVE! BEEN

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.

EASTERN PEOPLE COMING
Desert Land on River Near Echo to
Be Made Fruitful for Eastern
Settlers Deep Interest in
Northwest States.
PENDLETON, Or.. Oct 12. (Sbe
cial. ). An agreement was signed today
between the Hinkle Ditch Company, of
Pendleton, and the Newport Land Sc.
Construction Company, of Hermiston.
whereby the latter company will un
dertake the enlargement of the Hinkle
ditch between the intake at the Uma
tilla River above Echo and the drop
at Butte Creek. The company will also
enrage and extend the "low line" ditch
from Butter Creek to a body of land
opposite Hermiston. Construction
work is to begin October 25 and con
tinue until completed. The principal
work will consist of the enlargement of
that portion of the ditch lying between
W. I. Walton's place and Butter Creek,
a distance of five miles.
First Ditch in County.
The Hinkle ditch is the first large
Irrigation canal dug in Umatilla
County. G. W. Hunt, the railroad con
tractor, dug the first six miles during
the years 1891-2. Later the Hinkle
Ditch Company 'took charge.
In the Fall of 1904 the Butter' Creek
Water Company undertook the exten
sion of the main canal to Butter Creek.
The Hunt Interests have since been
merged in the Hinkle Ditch Company
and the entire project is now controlled
by the latter company.
The entire work consists of 12 miles of
main ditch between the intake at a point
on the south side of ths Umatilla River,
about a mile above Echo, and the drop at
Butter Creek. The first seven miles has
a bottom width, of 30 feet and carries
water to a depth of four feet. The last
five miles will have a bottom width of
20 feet and carry about the same depth
of - water. At the drop the main lines
branch, one lateral continuing to the in
tersection of the Butter Creek channel,
the other dropping 50 feit at Butter Creek
and then continuing on the "low line"
across Butter Creek bottom and out to
O. D. TeePs desert claim, from the lower
side of which It branches again, one lat
eral reaching land on the west bank of
the Umatilla, two miles west of Hermis
ton, the other continuing on a higher ele
vation and returning to the Umatilla
River at a point a few miles above Uma
tilla. 1
Last Spring the Hinkle, Ditch Company
expended about $10,000 on extensive later
als beyond Butter Creek. The Newport
contract contemplates the completion of
all masonry work to develop the ditch
system to Its fullest possibility.
The contract contemplates that the
Newport Land & Construction Company
purchase from the Hinkle Ditch Company
a large body of land on the west side of
the Umatilla River, about two miles from
Hermiston.
Bring Many Settlers. ,
J. T. Hinkle, president of the company,
says his company has every assurance
that fully 200 Eastern families will be
settled upon small tracts of land on
Lower Butter Creek and along the Uma
tilla River north and west of Butter Creek
before the close of the irrigation season
next Spring. He spent two months this
Summer in the East, and says that even
where the people are inquiring about the
great irrigation projects of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
"Our entire Northwest." says Mr. Hin
kle, "Is about to reap the fruits of what
our newspapers and magazines have done
for us gratis. I refer particularly to the
splendid articles on Irrigation that have
come from the pens of able engineers em
ployed on the various governmental proj
ects. As a rule these men know wltrft
they are talking about, and their articles
carry conviction, being based upon scini
tiflc tests and actual experience upon ap

A man who owns a fine coffee

Experience taught this man

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

vital food elements of the. field

done by coffee. "There's a Rea

FAIR ASTONISHING.
Sixty-seven Varieties Sliuwn, With

Stock Display and Ilorse ltnces.
BURNS. Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) The
Harney County Fair has been In progress
since Tuesday of this week with delight
ful weather, warm days and cool nights,
and the result Is a splendid attendance
from all parts of the county and a goodly
number from Grant and Malheur
Counties. There Is an excellent half-mile
racetrack here and the grounds are pro
vided with good stocksheds, stables and
a roomy pavilion; also a well-built, com
modious grandstand, so that the arrange
ments for a successful fair are very good
for an interior county.
The showing in the pavilion is of par
ticular pride to Harney County and would
be a source of surprise to those who are
not familiar with this soil and climate.
There are 67 varieties of apples on ex
hibition, of size, coloring, texture and
flavor equal to the best seen at Hood
River or through the Willamette Valley.
The finest apple displayed is the Spokane
Beauty, some of them measuring 19 inches
in circumference, but there are numerous
other "beauties" also.
There are ten varieties of pears, all
very fine; nine varieties of plums; seven
of crabs and this fruit grows to great
perfection in this climate; U of prunes,
some quinces, nine of peaches of standard
varieties and some seedlings raised in
this county. The display of preserves
embraces all kinds usually found and al
together the showing is a surprise even
to Harney County people.
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. The results of dry land farm

exhibit, are very encouraging for the
future of Harney County.
