TOWN WILL INCORPORATE
i A petition for the incorpora
tion of Madras was circulated
last week and more than the re
rqnisit number of signatures
were secured in very short or
der The law providing for the
1 incorporation of towns by the
county court requires that the
petition asking for such incor
tporation have the signatures of
not less than 40 electors of 'the
countyj all of whom reside
Uvithin the territory asking to
ibe incorporated ifrUo a munici
pal corporation. Pefore iucor-
tporatiqn can be had it must be
yshqvfn .hat the territory which
iceek& to . be incorporated liar
&iot-tessthan 150 bona tide esi
Irlents. A careful canvas has
ibeeu made of the territory to be
'included in the town 01 Madras,
land there are fully that number
of residents, so thei;e seems to;
.be no reason to fear that the pe-
tition to incorporate will not re-'ceiv.e-
favorable consideration.
1 The petition will be advertised
three weeks as required and
will then be presented to the
I county court at ?riueville at the
November term of the court.

SHEEP-KILLERS TO PRISON
Stock thieves and sheep-killers
from Wheeler county, the
Edmonsons, a father and two'
sons, have just been landed iiK
the penitentiary for a term of
three 3Tears. For a number of
4 ranges of Wheeler county, kill
lug sheep by the hundreds and
3 stealing stock of all kinds, and
"or some reason they were never
' brought to time for their crimes
until quite recentlywhen a der
tective from San Francisco camfe
to 'Vnieeler county-, .and dis
guisiiig himsdlf as'' a' rancher',
captured' the 'outlaws and sue
' needed iii c.onvijptiflg them in the
circuit' court t Fossil-.
' Hardly aranch in Eastern Of
' egons but knovs of the Bdmun
' ions, eVerx if he 'haSs- not lots
v stock at 'tlieir hands. They
' were never caught j?edrhanded.
but suspicion alva'o pointed to
' ihem and repeated attempts
v6re kia3e to 'catch them by tin-
local stock associationsj All of
' these attempts failedj however,
' Until jesse Selkirk a San Fran
' cisco detective, went into Wheel-
4 er county, and gaining the cori
; .lidence of the Edrnunsonsj was
able 'to establish their guilt and
' bring th'eiri to justice. Selkirk
will receive a $1000 for his pari
' in the capture and conviction
of the Edmunsonn.
SHEEP INDUSTRY IS GOOD
"Crook County rang": troubles are ovt
lor good, I believe," is the declaration ol
J. G. Edwards, who bears the sobriquet
"Oregon VVool King," because of his vast
range acreage in Crook and his thousands
of fine Merino sheep.
"When division lines were established
rec'enYlty 1 believe the Cr'odk county range
troubles were ended, and I have no rea
son to anticipate a( fresh outbreak,'' he
contmtied. ., . ,.
"Sheep men in this stale never had
cause to be as happy as th.ey should be
' How. The demand for wool and' niutton
is better than ever before ar.d the prices
for the nest wool crop will be larger than
' they have been for a guarttr 9f a cen-
Mr. Edwards hai about sixty sheep bn
