THURSDAY Jan. 4, 1906 The weather this week is a deligthful change over the past 10 or 12 days as balmy and pleasant as a summer evening, If there shpqld be no colder weather this winter lhan we have thus far experienced, it will go far toward establishing a regard for euabe tempera ture. Bend-Bulletin: Jt. N. B. Cler king of Laidaw, accoippftrved by his son, Deane Qerking, and J. A. Robinson, was in Bend Mopday. The 'Gerkings are iarming on a large scale near Laidlaw, having a ranch of 1.000 acres. Last season they sowed a ton of alfalfa seed and got yery good results from it. Part was sqwed alone, the remainder with grain. That planted alone made the better growth, but the entire planting did very well. Mr. Gerking is an extensive jand owner in Umatilla county. Three years ago he was offered 9E an. acre for a 240,-acre tract but refused o sell. !fle, ljke so many others who have had ex perience with irrigated coun tries, has great Taifh in the Pes chutes valley, and looks for a rapid development here. . g The Dalles Chronicle: They always get it worse than we do and from points all about us pome reports of the severity of the storm on Christmas night. Dalles people realized that a lively zephyr was abroad, but Lad no idea what t ws up to fn other localities. If is said to nave been the worst storm that has occurred along the ccast during the year. At Portland the wind gained a velocity ot thirty miles an hour and .52 of rain, fell. At Spokane the veloc ity of the fierce wind was thirty -pix and at Walla Walla thirty four. At the latter place it last ed four hours and was a perfect liurrica'ne, blowing down fences, wrecking outbuildings and dis turbing Christmas gatherings generally. At Pendelton a heavy rain accompanied it. while at Baker City and Sumpt er snow fell and a regular bliz zard prevailed. Anton Batalgia took a trip to Shaniko last week. He says they were having a ' big snow storm there and he was com pelled to remain in town two days. The fr.ow did not extend any farther than the head of Cow Canyon. Wm. Moore, who has been cooking at Hatau'a, and Ch'irlea Dizney, have taken charge of the new Madras hotel and will hereafter cater to the travel tag public. - a 1 Ed Kutcher was in town Sunday from near Haycreek.

EX-GOVERNOR OF IDAHO MURDERED Assassinated at His, HomeDies Almost InstantlyRevenge of Miners' Federation. Orogonlan. Frank Steunenberg, ex-Gov ernor of the 8tae of Idaho, was killed nt U:4U last Saturday eve ning at his home in the suburbs of Caldwell. A dynamite bomb had been placed at his front gate with some contrivance by which it exploded as he entered. Both legs were blown off and he lived but 20 minutes. There is no known reason fyr the outrage, but it is charged to some member of the famous in ner circie of the doeur d'Alene dynamiters, whom he prosecut ed so relentlessly in 1890 while he was Groyernor. Governor Gooding is in communication with the 'authorities of that count and is prepared to put the full 'support of the fctate be hind the officials there in run ning down the perpetrators of the crime. It is thought probable that the leading detective agency of the country will be asked to send some of their best men to the scene and the state wil of fer as great a reward as the Governor may find he has pow er to propose. Steunenberg was Governor of the state from 1S97 to 1901, hav ing been twice elected. He was born in Iowa, 44 years ago and had been in Ida)o sjnee I8B7. He left a wife and three child ren. Qoyornor Gooding has inform ed Canyon County officials that the state will offer a reward of $5000, for apprehension, of the murderer. A special train is. leaving for Caldwell at 10. o'clock carrying the Governor and others who go to assist in organizing the work of running down the criminal. The latest information from the sce'ne is to the effect' that the bPlTb was probably plaped by the gatepost and thp Roving of the gate exploded it. When persons rushing to the spot reached tho prostrate rijan the latter said something like: "Who shot mef He ajso said something abopt turning him over, but he lapsed into uncon ociousness at once and died without giving any information. The victim's clothing and. his shoes were torn to tatters and his back was terribly injured. Both legs were shattered right fully. The shock of the explosion was felt all over the town and broke all the glass in that side of the Steunenberg home. Every road out of town is being guarded and it is hoped to in tercept every suspect. Two men are under suspicion who had been lying about Nampa several days and left for Caldwell today. They lived in the Coeur d'Alenes at the time of the riots there in 1899. De scriptions of them are being wired in every direction. A Statesman representative who went to Caldwell on the special train sonds the following after visiting the scene of the crime: "The ex-Governor was killed at the west gate, Reading to the back door of his home. It in apparent the assassin knew his habits, since a stranger would have supposed lie would go in at the front gate, btit it was his habit to use the other. The victim retdihed consciousness about 26 minutes. Ho was Struck down at 6:45 and died at 7:10, being conscious until he breathed his last. did not seem to understand what wns said, to him. He thought he had been shot, and Inquires were not noticed, noth ing being learned from jjim that would throw light upon tho deed. . He was terribly wounded, the right arm being nearly torti oil', hanging b a few more threwds. All his right side was fearfully torn, the leg being mangled and shattered. The left leg was al so badly shattered. The features were not dis figured. Portions of clothing were scattered for 50 yards. The victim himself was thrown ten feet from the gate, whore a small hole, eight or ten inches depth, shows tho spot whore the infernal machine lay. The gate is gone, not a splinter being found. All the windows in the side of the house were broken and mftoh glasB was broken in other houses as far as a block away. Mrs. Steunenberg is prostrated and is under the care of physicians. ANTHRACITE !H OREGON A vein of what is said to be exoellent anthracite poal ha? been dispoyered in Malheur county, Oregon, just across the Idaho line, according to infor mation which has reaced Boise. Tho extent of the find is not now known, but it is stated a good sized vein has been uncovered, and that the formation of the ground indicates a coal bed of considerable extent. The anthracite is found under a strat um of sandstqne with a layer of igneous ropk above that as is always the case with anthracite coal, so it is declared by those who are familiar with Pennsyl vania and other anthracite fields. The location find is on the some 12 miles -Line railroad. of the Oregon Owyhee river, from the Short Ontario would probably be the shipping point if the find develops nto a com mercial proposition. Boise Statesman. EWES IN GREAT DEMAND The Shephetd's Bnlletin says: Prom every section of the .coun try, especially from the corn belt region, come reports of an all-devouring demand for breed ing ewes. Anything which can be considered capable of bear ing, a lamb has been placed at a premium. It must be admitted that a good deal of stuff which should have been fed off has gone lb swqll the number of small flocks which have been started this season. The wisdom of this policy iH questionable, but we have no desire to dissuade those who can afford to make the experi ment, though it were to be wish ed that the desire to increase the number of sheep were less persistent than tho efiorts made to improve the quality.
