WEAKENED BRIDGE STORY HAS
'" NO PIERS OR FOUNDATION
A sensational story published by aa

GOT JEALOUS OF
W. H. Babb Encounters . Diffi
culty in Shipping Stock From '
This State to Canada. '
: W. H. Babb, one of the best known
stockmen of eastern Oregon la particu
lar and of tha state la general, la rsg-
' istered at tha Parkins and will remain
la Portland for a week or ao oa busl-
" nesa. , Mr. Babb la now a ' resident of
Medicine Hat. Calgary, Canada,' where
he has a large stock ranch which during
the last three or four 'years he haa
stocked with the best range stock to
ba found on the ranges .of, eastern Ore-
, goa. '
When the Medicine Hat district began
to attain prominence as a wheat raising
and agricultural section, Mr. Babb con
ceived tha idea of stocking ths country
with eastern Oregon horses. The large
. influx of settlers had created a great
. demand for farm horses and the eastern
"Oregon horse was suited In many ways
for use la that section. For the past
several years. In furtherance of that
plan, Mr. Babb haa shipped tralnloads
of horses north from Pendleton to be
broken and sold to the settlers of Cal
gary. .
So successful was Mr.' Babb In his
, venture that ths . Canadian Inhabitants
grew Jealous of tha Oregon horse snd
very recently through political Influ
ence have caused the enactment of a
law prohibiting the ahipment of any
thing but well-broken horses Into the
district. The law was based upon the
argument that- tha range horses were
dlsessed and so carried contagion to the
Canadian animals.
i To meet the changed conditions- It Is
now ths Intention of Mr. Babb to have
all horses sent la by him brokea In
astern Oregon' before shipment snd
thus meet ths conditions of ths law. ' He
will leave for Pendleton aad other east
em Oregon points In a short time to
make arrangements for his ' annual
tralaload shipment. -

IIO) REFERENDUM
Appointment of a register and re
ceiver for ths land offlco at Ths Dalles
Is Imminent, according to tba opinion of
those who have been watching the con
dition of things there. ' The term of
office of Miss Anna M. Lang, now re
ceiver, will expire within the first week
of April, her term having commenced
ehxe to- April 1, It ts taken.aa aaf e
guess, therefore,, that the next week
will see the announcement of ths of
ficials to aseums charge of tha offtoe
In place of M. C Nolan, deposed, and
Mlaa Lang, whoss term will expire. .
Ho far aa Is now known O. O. But
ler of Wheeler county is reasonably sure
of his appointment i to succeed Miss
Lang. Ha waa the man recommended
by ths majority of tha advisory con
ference held In Portland several weeks
ago and recommended to Senators Ful
ton and : Bourne. Unleaa soma flaw
ahould ba found la his record which
would bar him la the mind of the presi
dent his friends are confident that ba
will receive ths appointment. :
' Sharp Barred, Oat ' .;
' Edward Sharp, who was named to ths
senators for register to succeed Nolan,
will not receive tha appointment, ao
oordlng to ths consensus of opinion, be
oauss hs has interest la publio laoda
bow pending for patent, this fact alone
being aufflolent to bar him out of of
flco andsr. ths rules of ths depart
ment. - '
Business at ths land , office at Ths
Dalles Is becoming congested. Under
tha present conditions, I where there Is
no register, the offlos can do nothing
except receive business for filing. It
can not flla entries or transact any
executive business of any kind. The of
fice Is at present and has been alnoa
Nolan left office, . simply a receptacle
for business, but can not do more with
what It receives than to put it on
temporary file In order that It can ba
taken up In regular order when both
positions are filled again,. ,..

For these reasons the belief Is cur
rent that tha end of ths next week will
aeo tha announcement of tha appoint
ments mads by tha president. Ths reg
istering la much in doubt Just at pres
ent. The disqualification of Mr. Sharp
baa thrown that offlco up In the air
again ' While Senator Fulton waa In
the city during the week he bad several
conferences with prominent citlxens of
The Dalles iand vicinity on ths question
of the land offlos. N. B. Stnnott, who
was selected as chairman by Senators
Bourne and Fulton ' for tha conference
committee which recommended Sharp
and Butler, 'was la the cljy and had an
extended conference with ths senator.
A. A. Jayne, another of the commit
tee, also discussed ths matter with him,
as did several other men who are atrp
posed to have soma interest In seeing
soms anti-Moody man receive the place.
None of the men would discuss ths
question and ths senator was also mute
whea asked what the result would be A
general belief waa stated, however, that
no long time would elapae- before de
cision waa reached.
