1 DIE RANGE
ANKENY AND. COPELAND
WANT MUCH LAND.
Figuring on Buying Thirteen Sec
tions in Washtucna Country for
Permanent Range.
If Hon. Levi Ankcny, tho banker,
politician and candidate for United
fatates senator from Walla Walla
county, who was In town several
days this week, closes a deal ho Is
working on In the Washtucna coun
try, he will be ono of tho largest
iana owners in tho country. Esnoc
lally will he own the largest acreage
In one tract of any man in the North?
west.
Mr. Ankeny and Grant Copeland,
representative from Walla Walla
county, are both Interested in tho
same deal. They are in tho Wash
tucna country a few days ago and
were negotiating for 13 sections of
grazing land in one body. Mr. Ank
eny and Mr. Copeland aro partners in
tho stoc kbusiness and aro nimliur to
acquire range enough to put their In
dustry on a permanent basis.
Last fall the Walla Walla canital-
ists and politicians bought their first
land In Cow creek country, 15 miles
from Washtucna. Since that time
they have added to their holdings
until today they own in a body near
ly 12,000 acres and the deal now on.
if it goes through, will give them the
huge total of 31 sections, or almost
21,000 acres. This land is costing
them a neat sum of money. From
$2 to $3 an acre was paid for what
has been purchased and the present
deal will be In the same neighbor
hood.
This will be one of the finest hold
ings of land for an ideal stock ranch
in the state of Washington. For 10
miles Cow creek runs through It,
which gives It plenty ot water.
Southeastern Adams In a fine, roll
ing buuchgras8 country, splendidly
adapted for cattle. Mr. Ankeny says
It Is one of the ideal stock districts
of America. Last winter 80 per cent
of winter calves on Cow creek were
saved, an average 5 per cent higher
than In the most favored districts
of the Northwest. The Montana av
erage is only about 30 per cent. The
big ranch will contain much line ag
ricultural land, and a big area where
alfalfa can be grown. In fact, Mr.
Ankeny says, it is the owners' inten
tion to put up about 1000 tons annu
ally when everything Is In running
order.
There are already 550 head of cat
tie on the 18 sections. With the buy
contemplated 700 head more will go.
Mr. Ankeny says the ranch will range
3000 easily, and that the Industry
which he thinks has a great future
in Washington, will be put on a last
ing basis here. Severfal hundred tons
of alfalfa were grown this year. Ne
smlth Ankeny, son of Levi Ankeny,
is foreman.
The purchase for cold cash of such
large tracts Ib necessitated by thei
disappearance of government range
in Washington. Stockmen say this
course of Ankeny and Copeland Is
very significant, as Indicating that
the man who proposes following the
cattle industry much longer must for
tify himself by large purchases of
cheap range. Several extensive com
panies In Washington aro doing thiSj
and land values are rising In propor
tion to the demand.
The Ankeny-Copeland farm rivals
some of the wonderful ranches of
Harney, Malheur, Lake and other
Southern Oregon counties.
A MUCH MARRIED MAN
RESIDENT OF PENDLETON
HAD MANY EXPERIENCES.
Married One Woman Three Times,
Divorced Three Times, and Now
Has a Second Wife by His Fourth
Marriage.
Tho marriage of Morlllo H. Gillett
to Mrs. Molllo Porry, which was boI
cmnlzcd Wednesday, recalls an ex
iienence m uio matrimonial careor
that Is seldom met with. This Is tho
fourth timo Mr. Glllott has takon tho
marriage vows. This alono Is noth
lng out of tho ordinary, but three of
his marriages were to tho samo wo
man. Moro thnn 21 years ago ho
married tho first timo and ho and his
wife lived together for nearly 11
years.
One day sho loft him and wont
homo to her mother. A divorce was
sued for and granted. They got to
gethor again, mado up and remar
ried. Separation came again and Mr
and Mrs. Glllott wore married three
different times and tho samo man
bor of times tho obliging Umatilla
county court granted a dlvorco. Sho
was the complaluant twlco and ho
once.
When they agreed and mado up
to get married tho last timo another
woman had crossed tho path of Mr,
Glllott. This was none other than
tho bride lh the last wedding. Mr,
Gillett had mado love to her nnd
when ho and his former wife wore
married tho third timo this Mrs
Porry sued Mr. Gillett for damages
for gaining her affections and giving
her the "go by." This suit was com
promised nnd aftor Mr. and Mrs. Gil-
le't had lived together for a few
months and were divorced tho last
time, Mr. Gillett and Mrs. Porry met,
cooed and mado up and Just as soon
as the six months, required by tho
laws of tho state before a divorced
man or woman can marry ngatn, was
up, they came to town, secured a
marrlnge license and wero mado man
and wife.
Now the acquaintances of Mr. Gil
lette are wondering what will bo tho
outcome of the last marrlnge.

WHY THE TREE DIED.
Well
Known Citizen Doesn't Know
and Doesnf Care,
The friends of a well-known rail
road man who visits Pendleton, are
having the laugh at his expense.
This man has a beautiful home
where, will not be divulged and in
his yard grows a splendid shade tree.
Or the tree did grow, but recently
tho leaves withered from an unknown
cause and he Is mourning Its death.
The cause of the tree's death Is a
puzzle, for it is In a favorable local
ity with all the nourishing surround
ings that apparently could be wished
for a healthy growth, so the owner
bethought himself that he would di
agnose the case and try to learn what
was tho cause of the sudden wither
ing of his tree. He carefully examin
ed the body and roots, digging Into
the ground and could not find any
apparent cause. However, he was
determined and would not give up,
so he got a ladder and climbed to the
top to look at the buds.
He is a man who will weigh about
220 pounds and the slender limbs of
the tree objected tn tho strain of lite
weight and Just as ho was explain
ing to his wife how some small InBect
had bored holes Into the twigs near
the top and no doubt had Inserted
poison therein which had caused the
tree's death, tho limb on which be
stppd broke and let him fall to the
ground.
fLe only uttered one word as be
went down, and that can better be
imagined than described,' He now
says that tho tree died from natural
causes and he is glad It is dead. Out
when the fcoya get to Joshing blm
about it he alwayB Baya: "Come on,
have something, it is on me."
Thought He Was a Yankee.
Judgo Ellis tells an amusing story
about a gentleman who was sum
moned to appear on the Jury In the
last term of the district court. Ho
appeared tho first day of the court
and asked the" Judgo to let him off,
giving as an excuse that ho could
not hear well and understood English
with difficulty. Ho talked very brok
enly and tho Judgo asked him what
nationality he was. Tho fellow
laughed and said: "My mother was
born In Finland, my father In ' Ger
many, and I In Norway, so 1 think I
am a Yankee."
