Started Life As Country School
Teacher But Now Has
$140,000 Yearly Income.
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 21. From
a country school teacher at $40 a
month to an annual income of $140,
000 a year seems a long step. It Is
enough to cause comment anywhere,
even on tho Pacific coast, a land of
nihshroom millionaires. True, It
took twenty-seven years to accom
plish It, but that is tho record of
"Bill" Brown, Central Oregou's most
eccentric sheep king, whose large
holdings arc bolng looked at with
covetous eyes now that tho railroads
are being built Into the interior of
the state.
"Bill" Brown controls 100 miles
square of Central Oregon. He owns
G4.000 acres, so located that his
land Includes tho wnter holes and
springs, making a territory 100
m I lei' cast and west and the same
distance north and south where he
Is monarch of all ho surveys. The
land covers portions of Harney,
Lake and Crook counties, each of
which Is larger than many eastern
states.
Brown started at the grass roots
twenty-seven years ago. After teach
ing school a whllo he with two broth
ers got a small band of sheep and
herded them themselves. They lo
cated on the eastern slope of Wagon
Tiro mountain. In 18S9 "Bill"
bought his brothers out and has
since gono It alone. He led a pecu
liar nomadic life. With a bunch of
raisins and a loaf of "sour dough"
bread In his pockets ho would start
from his cabin and graze his sheep
across tho Central Oregon plains,
sleeping on tho ground, sometimes
with a sheepskin for cover, oftcner
with nothing. Ho would kill u sheep
whenovor necessary to givo his dogs
meat and would roast a haunch of
mutton for himself over a lire. He
was as much alono as Robinson Cru
soe for months at a time. Only tho
coyotes howling at tho moon, his
dogs and tho sheep kept him com
pany. Even now, when herders
leave, "Bill" takes their places un
til others can bo found. He has often
herded bands of 0,000 nnd 7,000
sheop for weeks In those clicum
stanccs. This wealthy sheepman Is called
"Bill" by his herders, cooks and
buckaroos. Everyone knows him by
that name, and his check, evon writ
ten on a scrap of wrapping paper,
signed "Bill" Brown, will bo honor
ed at nny bank In tho eastern 'half
of tho state.
Ho owns, as nearly as ho can tell
himself, about G.OOO horses nnd
1,000 cattle. Ho has 18,000 sheep

FROM OLD ROUTE
Announcement Concerning
Coos Bay Sumner Ser
vices Foretells It.
PROBABLY WILL BE
VIA MYRTLE POINT
Mail Today Will Be About
Twelve Hours Late On Ac
count of Rain.
Postmaster W. B. Curtis has re
ceded word that the contract for
carrying the mall between Marsh
field and Sumner has been awarded
to Leonard G. Masters, captain of
the launch Curlew. The announce
ment Is considered of importance bo-
cause it signifies that the govern
ment has decided to change the Coos
Bay-Roseburg service from the old
Coos Bay wagon road to either the
Drain-Gardiner route or the Rose-burg-Myrtlo
Point Coos Bay route.
While no announcement has been re
ceived about the latter, It was stat
"d by the carriers that the Coos Bay
mall servlco after November 1 would
be via Myrtlo Point.
Bids for carrying tho mall to and
from Coos- Bay by both the Draln
Gardlner route and tho Roseburg
Myrtlo Point route were op'n-'d
September 28 at Washington. For
the Drain-Gardiner route. It wa
understood that the Gardiner ml I
company entered a bid whllo tli?
present mall carriers between Rose
burg and Myrtle Point and tho lo;al
railway company had entered h'ds.
The plan was If the Myrtle Point
route was determined upon to have
the mall brougliT by pack horses or
stage to Myrtlo Point and then'.o
carried by train.
The contract for the Sumner-
Marshflcld service is from November
1. 1909, to Juno 30, 1910, tho latter
being tho date when the old eon
tracts woujd have expired, ft pro
vides for service three times a svflek,
Monday, Wednesdny and Friday

Masters maintains a dally boat ser
vice between hero and Sumner, It Is
not unlikely that he will funilp'i
Sumner with a dally mall servlca al
though his contract only requires a
three-tlmes-a-week- service.

Coos Bay Is today experiencing
