The Salem Statesman, in speaking of the attempt made to secure the pardon of "Count* Pulaski, the palm- 1st who duped a number of victims in Pendleton a year ago and who was sent to the penitentiary from Port land for robbery, says "Lincoln Working, county attorney for Lewis and Clark county, Mont, writes Governor Chamberlain, giving him in the letter some of the history of Paul A. Tomscheck. alias Count Pulaski, now confined in the Oregon penitentiary under a three state years sentence from Multnomah county for larceny. "Mr. Working says that he is led to write the letter by a visit from Pd- laski's wife, in which she appealed to him to intercede with the governor of Oregon for the purpose of securing a pardon for her husband. "This the attorney refused to do. stating that he thought Pulaski was where he should be. He says that the count was at one time salesman and window trimmer in a store there and that he had access to every part of the store, and while in this em ployment he accumulated something from every part of the store. He was arrested there and tried for grand larceny, but the jury acquitted him on the sympathetic act being played. Later the house began a civil action against him and recovered most of the stolen goods. "It seems that Governor Chamber- lain also thought Tomscheck was In the right place, for he refused to pardon him.” GUARDIANS REPORT. Walter T. McDaniel on the Records As a Thrifty Young Man. "Keeping everlastingly at it brings success," as a famous newspa per advertiser has said, is evidently Walter T. McDaniel's plan to win wealth. Walter is a minor and he resides at Weston.

Irom tlw* Fire, XX liiili lluriMil Mul- !••«■« Barn—XXIII Rebuild Louis Muller, whose large barn burned a few evenings ago five miles w e»t of Helix, was in town yesterday purchasing a large quuntlty of good« to replace in part the chattels lost in the fire. Among other things he bought several sets of harness, a shop mill, forks, saddles and wagons. XVliile Mr. Muller carried 42,500 Insurance, it was carried collective ly on a large quantity of property, so that he will realize but 4400 on the loss. w hich was not less than 45,000. The details of the cause of the fire are simple, The hired man accldent- ally ».truck ths lantern with a pitch fork throwing the burning oil Into the hay. and the stiff wind did the rest, although all the men on the place -eight or ten, Mr Including Muller—did all in their power to save the property. "XX’heat that Is being seeded on the reservation, seems to come up almost as fast as It Is sown, so ex- O m cellent is the condition of ground.*' said Arthur L. Knight. manager of the Balfour Guthrie Warehouse Company, in this city, to the East Oregonian today. Mr. Knight has just returned from a tour of the wheat belt, and finds seeding In progress everywhere, In the vicinity of Helix and Fulton, the ground is very dry. very little of the late rams having reached those dis- tricts. but farmers feel that the wheat will not sprout u itil a rain comes and are seeding as rapidly as possible. West of the city, seeding is also in progress and the ground is in better condition. On the reservation the ground is in the most perfect eondl- farmers are tlon for seeding, ar.d taking advantage of the situation to rush the work. Reservation wheat is coming up Fvenly and presents a beautiful appearance now. Mr Knight finds that the acreage of fall wheat to be seeded this year will be about the «ame as last year 7.000 U Al.UiXX X EWES. Kuykendall and XXIII Had not the wind gone down, the Muller residence and all of the gran aries and «mailer buildings on the place would have burned. The dwell ing and machine sheds were smok ing in spite of all the water that could be brought and handled, when the wind suddenly veered. Mr. Muller will next spring build a 42.000 barn, but it will stand some distance further from the residence than the old bam. It will be of frame. 36xv6 feet ground plan, two stories In height and have a full basement. He has four men at work now building temporary buildings, among them a shed for 24 horses. Mr. Muller says that the fire has taught him two Important lessons The first Is the great danger of hav ing farm buildings built too closely together, so when one burns the oth ers are endangered by the proximity. The other is the great danger in ac cumulations of manure and trash which might be kept vleared away and thus lessen the danger of the fire spreading Kent to Yakima. Seven thousand head of old ewes from the Wallowa ranges were brought into Pendleton yesterday for shipment to North Yaklma- The an- imals were purchased by XX'Illlam vessey from Roy Kuykendall, In discussing the sheep market. Mr. Kuykendall said; “The trade in sheep, especially old ewes and yearlings, is very brisk. Few Iambs are being sold, but the sheepmen are getting rid of their old stock. The reason for the sale of »0 many sheep to Yakima dealers is due to the fact that the Seattle markets are reached esier from that point than from Wallowa. "I look for good prices in wool and mutton next spring. The demand Is steadily increasing. Old ewes for mutton purposes bring as good a price as any other kind of sheep. When fattened quickly they prove e«iually as good as wethers. " SUIT FOR 9M30.99. Nofke of Attaciunent 1« .Served. I bat Store Is Left Open. Suit to collect 4830.SO. alleged to be due for services rendered as clerk and for money loaned, was instituted in the state circuit court this morn ing by Paul Brinkman against F. W. Schmidt. J. A. 8trowbridge. of Port land, Ore., representing the plaintiff. Is in Pendleton, and is at the store this afternoon with a deputy sheriff. Notice of attachment has been serv ed. but the place has not been closed, pending an attempt at settlement. P. Strain, assessor of Umatilla Ore . and Francis A. Gar- recht. of this city, addressed a large crowd at Eureka last night, says the Walla Walla Statesman The meet ing WM held tn Gilbert s hall and it was packed, every seat being taken. Mr Garrecht was followed by Mr. Strain, who spoke for an hour, con fining his remarks principally to the railroad taxation question. He showed by undlsputable figures that the railroads throughout the North west were evading their proportion ate share of the taxes an<f that the farmers were being taxed to make up for the deficiency. He quoted from the reports of the railroad commissions in other states, where the matter of taxation of railroad property has been regu lated. and gave many facts showing the vast benefits that had accrued to the farmers and shippers through the workings of the commissions y Mr Strain handles the subject In a most able manner and his speeches will no doubt result In making many votes for the democratic candidates.
