SALEM. Or., July 17. So serious have
become the state of affairs that a dele

Oregon range counties appeared before
the Governor this morning complaining
that the range war between the cattle
men and sheepmen was threatening
and bloodshed was feared. They said
that already had men disappeared mys
teriously and the help of the authori
ties was Invoked to prevent further hos
tilities. The situation . Is so grave that the
Governor at once issued the following
proclamation to the peace officers of
the countiea Involved:
"Whereas, Complaints have been and
are being made to me that in certain
counties In the eastern portion, of the
state, notably In Grant. Baker, Crook.
Wheeler and Harney Counties, threats
to do injury to life and property are

are Imminent between the owners of
cattle and sheep because of differences
as to their respective rights on the pub

"Therefore, In the hope that such a

MYSTERIOUS BOAT
READY FOR TRIAL
Was 'Built Secretly at Van
couver for Portland Firm
as an Experiment.
(Journal Special Service.)
VANCOUVER, Waah.. July IT. This
evening there will be launched a boat
on th Columbia that was built In this
place for a big Portland firm, that has
been completed secretly and will be
fitted with machinery of a new type
that Is hoped to excel all propeller en
gines now in use.
Mr. F. P. -Hunt has nad charge of the
boat, which is a 82-foot launch with
t: beam, and expects to have the entire
craft complete for a trial trip within
10 days. The boat is being constructed
for a Portland firm, who for the present
desire to keep in the background, and
If successful in Its work, will be the
forerunner of four. other boats of a
larger type.
The purpose of the firm is to build a
line of craft to accommodate visitor
to the Exposition who aeslre to see the
Columbia "and malie"trlps lo the sea.
The boats will accommodate 120 people
and will be placed at the command of
parties who desire to seek out new
trips. None of .the craft will, during
the Exposition, have regular runs, but
will go where they are most desired.
The engines are of a kind not yet
tried. The propeller is cased in a
jacket filled with heavy marine oil, the
machinery being entirely protected. The
engines are of the double cylinder type
and Jhe entire plant Is known as the
Centennial engine, a Portland product
entirely.
It is hoped that the trial boat will
develop unusual speed and power and
that the secret plans of the mysterious
company may prove successiui. van
couver Was selected a the building
place of the first boat, to prevent the
public learning of the scheme until it
was ready for general acceptance, and
for two months the boat haa been
building in a little shed In the heart of
thetown without more than a few per
sons discovering its presence.

SKILL IN DIAGNOSIS
Robert Henri, the well-known painter,
told the other day a striking story about
the Philadelphia physician. Dr. W. W.
Keen.
An artist was escorting Dr. Keen
through an exhibition of pictures, Before
the portrait of a man of middle age the
physician stopped.
"Do you know this man?" he asked.
"I believe," the artist answered, 'that
it is a Mr. 8p-and-So."
"Is he dead?"
"Yes. He has been dead almost two
years."
"Well," said Dr. Keen, "I would wager
that he died of ueart disease'
Th artist, struck by a skill that could
find material for diagnosis in a picture,
inquired into the death of the portrait's
original and found that the man had in
deed died of heart disease the winter be
fore. Detroit New Tribune,

PRAIRIE CITY, Or., July 17. The foregoing picture gives a fair idea
of what the Eastern Qregon climate will do. These men all came to the
country as invalids, and after a few years not only regained their health,
but are strong and hearty. At the time the picture was taken, two year
ago, they aggregated. 9 25 pounds, but they are much heavier now. C. C
Thomas, the gentleman in the center of the picture, now weighs 60
pounds more than1 he did when the photograph was taken, and Stanael, on
the left, and Kuhl, on the right, are still holding their accustomed weight.
