Madras, OroRon, Jan. Q, 11)08.
A tragedy wag uncarthexl on the
"WurmBpringB llcaervatjon last Satur
day, when tho bones an,d portions of tho
body of Dr. Lee, an aged "Indian Doc
tor" who disappeared from the Agency
nt about ThankHgiving time, were dis
covered by Indians on the trail leading
from tho Agency to the Indian town
Simnnnlio, about fifteen milcH north
tho Agency. Tho body vub positively
identified as that of Dr. Lee by portions
of his clothing mill hanging to the body
and by his saddle which wan found lying
near the body. When discovered only
the largo bones of the body and the legs
from the knccB down remained, th
body having from all appearances been
devoured by the coyotes. The manner
of Lee's death iH unknown and probably
always will be, but from certain facts
lacts wnicn liavo been jearneu it is
believed that ho was the victim of foul
play. IIo, like a majority of the Indian
.1 1 11.. 4! t I
uuuiurs un uiu rceurvnwuii, mm
number of enemies, and while his deatl
has not as yet been traced to any ol
these, it seems unlikely that be came to
his death from natural causes. To
Htrcngthen the belief of foul play is the
fact that his saddle lay near tho body
uncinched as though it had been
removed from the bono by some per
son. This fact is construed as indica
ting that after he was killed, the saddle
was removed from the horse, as tiie
appearance of Leo's horse on the range
with a saddle on would have caused an
itn mediate search to have been institu
ted, while his Iiorso running at large
without a saddle would have caused no
surprise. It is further known that at
tho time ho-left his home he took witl
himn4l-calibre pistol, and this could
not bo foudd when tho hotly was dis
covered.
Dr. Leo was n Warmspring Indian
and resided about three miles from the
Agency. About Thanksgiving time ho
left home, going in the direction of
Simjmsho. Tor some reason he did not
tell his wifo where ho was going, and
since that time- nothing had been heard
ol mm. no nad at other tunes gone

MONEY IN THE HOG BUSINESS
Muuy ranchers of this section are
considering the advisability of going
nto tho'hog business, its n means ot
gutting rid of tho surplus of grain pro
duced in this Miction. The plan is
doubtless n good one, nud will not
only create a market for the grain,
but will provo a must profitable ven
ture. Judging by the experience of
those who have tried it, rt good deal
more than presei.t net prices can be
secured out of our wheat by feeding it
to hogs,
Ono great obstacle to lingralslug on'
an extonslvo plan in this section litis
been the question of water, but that
Is being solved by tho drilling of deep
wells.
Crook County, and in fact Coutral
Orejm is at present-producing n very
small percentage of tho pork products
consumed by it; and o libra a veudy
market for all tho ham, baoon and
lurd that can he produced In tills seo
tlon, There is nioiiHy In It for the
hogrstiser und for the farmer, and It
will keep sit home thousands of dollars
4t the January term of tho County
Court tho tax levy of Crook Coifnfy
for 1007 was voted as follows:" sUtp
and county, 8 mills; general' echpb
purposes, 3 mills; road fund (exclud
ing Prineville), 2 mills; high school,
li mills; library fund, l-20thofa mlllf
total, 14.3 mills. :
The total assessed valuation of prop
erty in Crook County is, in round
figures, seven million doliara. Thio la
an increase of abqut one million over
the 1906 assessment, while the tar
levy for lG07isonlya fraction of a mil?
less than that for 1900. The 1907 tar
roll will yield to tho' county in tho
neighborhood of one hundred thousand
dollars, liberal reduction in tho
rate of taxation was promfsed jybqr
last year's levy was made, and it wget
generally believed that tho rate foe
1907 would not exceed 11 mills. Vitlx
the Increased valuations placed u'pqtj
much of the property in Crook County
taxes are higher now on that property
than they were two years ago on tbQ
same property.
