-Washington, alias."
George A. Young bears the appellation of" "sheep king of Wasco County.". He Is
one of the largest WO0 growers of central Oregon, and this fact doubtless led to the ap
plication of the name. .. . . ' , ; . "
As a matter of fact, Mr. Toung Is the' lineal descendant of kings" and queens to the.
number of nearly 80 and has the distinction of coming from the Washington family of
England, from which our own Immortal George sprang. ''". . V

The statement that "blood tells" may be verified throughout this vast section of
country. Every day the fact that the fool and his money soon part Is also demon
strated when one sees a sheepoerder come In from the desert nd spend his half a
year's salary In gambling, drinking, and general dissipation' without' even, providing
himself with a hair-cut and shsve, much less new wearing apparel to substitute the
ragged fragments which he wears In from camp. Upon" Inquiry It may be learned that
he generally comes from profligate parents who never taught him a word along the
lines of Industry and economy. . . ; v -
While on the other hand, the successful wool -grower was usually brought up under
entirely different circumstances. He usually came from well-to-do parents, who made
a success in life and whose Sons and daughters are making a success. A hundred cases
of this 'kind could be cited. Onealone, may show the general trend In this line; H. C.
Hooper, Mayor of Antelope, and one of the largest sheep-owners at that place, has
one brother practicing law In London, England, and another Is manager of the Aslatlo
Steamship Line running out of Portland. ' f
In the sheep Industry of Central and Southeastern Oregon it has been a case of the
survfral of the fittest. Large fortunes have been made In a short time, It Is true
larger, according to the population, probably, than In any other line but It has re
quired good generalship and great Industry.' economy and hardships to succeed. .
Nearly all of them entered the field In the some way either with a small band to
begin wlthjor as herders. Many of them entered this country 10 years ago, carrying
their sole possessions and these consisted of a pair of thick-soled shoes, overalls,
Jumper, cotton shirt and wool hat. Today, many of them have large bands of sheep of
their own, large bank deposits and beautiful homes. These were the men who worked
and economized. Others who started In with these men on equal terms are still herder,
growing old. not caving one cent for the "rainy days." while many of them have
passed away after debauches, or occupy wards In the state Insane asylum.
It is the same old story of the kind of life that wins and the kind that loses
But as to the descendant of kings.' Mr. Toung does not boast of his ancestry, and
very few people have ever been permitted to see his record of genealogy. It was ob
tained at the cost of thousands of dollars and years of research. Mr. Young did not
care for It, but when It became a fad In Boston, his relatives, residing at that place did,
and after they had obtained the record'to date, sent Mr. Young a certified copy.
The record begins with Odin I, son of Frlduff. supreme ruler of Scythiaus, Luken
stan, between the Euxtne and Caspian Seas In Asia, who reigned 70 years before Christ.
Odin rrlgned as first king of Scandinavia 60 years. B. C.
The record extends down the line through kings and queens of Sealand and Jutland
and Denmark. Then the genealogy Is traced to the earls of England through whom the
"Wasalngton" family was established, afterwards become the Washington family from
which the father of this country sprang.
Then comes Nancy Lawrence, wife of Daniel Nutting of American Revolutionary
fame. The record shows that Daniel Nutting was a private In the "Lexington Roll,"
Green's regiment which "went on march from Dunstable to Cambridge April 19, 1775."
He was afterwards a member of Bradford's company, und the war records show that he
lost a thumb at Bunker's Hill. The records also show that he received a "Bounty Coat"
for his six months' service.
.
One of the most interesting characters on Mr. Young's" home ranch is Miss Georgle,
his unmarried daughter. She Is considered one of the best woman horse-back riders
In the Ndrthwest. She has a number of horses of her own. which she broke to ride
and drive.. herself, and which are kept for her exclusive use. She has never been
thrown from a bucking broncho, though she has ridden the wildest on the range. At
the races which are given annually at many points in Eastern Oregon, she often rides in
the women races and has almost universally won.
While visiting the home ranch recently, I naw. a demonstration of Miss Young's
skill as a horse-back rider. One of the hired men came In with the announcement that
he had failed to find a band of milch cows which he had been sent oift to find. With
an air of contempt for such poor work on the part of the buccaroo, Miss Young went to
the stable, bridled and saddled one of her young horses, placed a spur on each of her
heels, mounted the animal astride and dashed across the plains at a breakneck 'speed.
the horse bucking at every opportunity. This part of the ride the young woman seemed
to enjoy most.
In a few hours she returned with the missing cows with the remark that one could
only get a thing done properly by doing it one's self.
.
The heiress of probably $100,000 thinks nothing of looking after the details of her
father's ranch and in cases of emergency doing the hardest portion of the work.
While her father bears the appellation of "sheep king of Wasco County," she bears
the appellation of "queen of women horseback riders."

A TRIBUTE TO THE DOG.
One of the most eloquent tributes ever paid to the dog was delivered by Senator
Vest, of Missouri, some years ago. He was attending court in a country town, and
while waiting for the trial of a case in which he was Interested, was urged by the at
torneys in a dog case to help them.
Voluminous evidence was introduced to show that the defendant had shot the dog
in malice, while other evidence went to show that the dog had attacked defendant.
Vest took nb part In the trial and was not disposed to speak. The attorneys,, however,
urged him to speak. Being thus urged, he arose, scaned the face of each Juryman for
a moment, and said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury The bes.t friend a man has in the world -may turn against
him and become his enemy. His ron or daughter that hj? has reared with loving care
may prove ungraieiui. inose wno are nearest ana aearest to us, tnose wnom we trust
with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money
that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him. perhaps, when he needs it most.
A man-s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be
the first to throw its cloud upon our heads.
"The one' absolutely unselfish friend that mart "can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, ls his dog.
A mans dog stands by him In prosperity and in poverty, in health and In sickness. He
will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry snow drives fiercely. If only he may be
near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer ; he will .lick the
wound's and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guarrp
the sleep of his pauper master as if he wSre a prince. When all other friends desert he.
remains. When riches take wings ad reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its Journeys through the heavens.
"If fortune drives-the master forth an outcast In the world, friendless and homeless,
the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard
against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and
death takes the master in Its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no
matter If all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog
be found, Ms head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open lip alert watchfulness, faith
ful and true even In death." &- ! ".,
Then Vest sat down. He had spoken In a low voice, without a gesture. He made
no reference to the evidence or the merits of the case. When he finished Judge and
jury were wiping their eyes. The jury filed out, but soon returned with a verdict of
$500 for the plaintiff, whose dog was shot, and it was said that some of the jurors wanted
to hang the defendant. Nashville American. ,

Inordinate desire for notoriety. I know fur
ther that Mr. King was actuated to make
the charges by some of my political enemies
in this city, and is simply permitting him
self to be used by them as a tool to vent their
spleen and venom towards me. As to the
alleged charge against me of standing in
with the saloon men in politics. I deem it too
frivolous to require any answer except
simply to state Jhat I never yet heard of
a candidate for office who refused the sup
port of a person because he was engaged in
the saloon business.
As to the alleged charge of falling to pros
ecute gambling cases, this charge ls as false
as the other Is frivolous, and I defy, any per
son to say that during the six years that I
have been City Attorney of La Grande that
I have ever refused to prosecute a person
for violating the gambling ordinances. I
have taken the position and still contend
that as City Attorney it Is not my duty
to act In h"roa detective, hunt up the
evidence and swear to the complaint. Fur
thermore, it is a well known fact here that
an attempt was made to break the gambl

other land office districts In this State, which
have, as much business If not more than; this
district, the contest, cases are practically
disposed of, yet about 150 contests are un
disposed of in the La Grande Land Office.
While the receiver is required,, by law to Join
in the decisions In contest cases, yet their
supervision Is under the register, who Is sup
posed to write the findings agreed upqn.
As to Mr. Bartlett's assertion that I will
not be appointed, I have only to ay tint I
am not a believer in the adage; '
Right forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne,
but that rather in the end right and Justtek
will prevail. Respectfully, , . ' . ' .
