Reports From Wasco County Sayi
stock Is Caught in Mountains.
The Dalles, Dec 16. A report has
reached this city that a large drove of
cattle bolonging to various farmers
of this county, on acount of the recent
snow storms, have been driven from
the forests In tho vicinity of Mount
Hood, to a place called the "Mead
ows," located about five miles east
of Mount Hood and practically at its
foot, and there huddled together they
are fast porlshlng. There is five feet
ot snow at the "Meadows," with not
an ounce of hay within 15 miles.
Tho "Meadows" consists of a tract
of meadow land in the hoajt of a
heavy forest, in extent about 700
acres, which in tho summer time pro
duces a luxuriant growth of grass,
but in tho winter is a most dreary
and dreadful locality, covered with
snow from a dopth of fivo to 10 feet.
and which becomes practically unln
habitablo for stock of any kind. j

FOR HORSE STEALING.
William mans, or Ontario, Given a
New Hearing Case May be DIs
missed.
Ontario, Ore., Dec. 1G. William H.
Itiggs, a prominent stockman of
Weiser, who was last spring convicted
of grand larceny, has now been grant
ed a new trial, with strong indica
tions of being a free man. He has
been at liberty under a heavy cash
bond since bis trial.
Mr. Rigg3 was convicted of having
sold a range horse that he did not
own. Throughout Eastern Oregon
there is a practice among horsemen of
etting the tall go with the hide. If
they find, upon loading for shipment,
that they have a horse for which they
have not paid, they make a note of it
and settlo with the owner upon re
turn. This Is the trap into which Mr,
Itiggs fell. Ho had doubtless done
tho same thing many times, before, as
had nearly overy horse-shipper in
iastera Oregon. The last year had
been a flourishing time for the East
ern Oregon horsethief, and efforts
were being made to stop it at tho
time Mr. Higgs was arrested. Under
othor circumstances the case would
have been settled, as hundreds of
other cases are yearly settled, but his
enemies got in their work at the op
portune moment to do the damage in
this instance. Mr. Itiggs has many
friends among the best people in the
region.
FLOODS ON THE OHIO.
John Haddock, an Independent Oper
ator, Surprises the Other Opera
tors by Standing Up for the Union
Miners Large Companies Had
Tried to Freeze Him Out.
Scranton, Pa., Dec. 16. Immediate
ly after the opening ot the strike
commission this morning, Judge Gray
said that the committion desired to
J impress upon the community nnd tho
state the testimony of tho nttio gins
taken yesterday, so that in tho future
all laws on the statuto books might
bo executed.
"The commission," ho said, "had
no desire to criticise tho laws of
Pennsylvania, but recommended the
enactment of laws absolutely forbid
ding tho employment of women and
children at night. He desired the op
erators to present the earnings of the
fathers of the little sick mill girls,
and showed great anger when ho
learned that the fathers earned from
$900 to $1100 annually.
Darrow then called John Haddock,
an independent operator, as witness.
Concedes That Demands Are Just.
Haddock surprised the other opera
tors by asserting that he believed
that a proper organization of labor
and the present conditions warranted
the demands of the miners' union.
He said the large companies tried to
restrict the output of the independent
operators. He had lodged numerous
complaints with the Interstate com
merce commission and had finally
won out.
Ready to Treat With Union,
He said that he believed tho
miners had a right to be represented
by whoever they chose, and that he
was always--ready to-treat with the
officials of the union.
Lloyd, one of the miners' counsel,
asked permission to submit evidence
showing a combine of the coal-carrying
roads. Judge Gray consented
within certain bounds.
History of Unionism.
Samuel Gompers this afternoon was
before the commission and testified
concerning the history of unionism.

Not Many Doubts Expressed as to the

Tho most important subject hetoro
the peoplo of Pendleton at present is
that of voting buudB for a suworago
system. Herewith is presented tho
opinions of somo representative citi
zens concerning this matter,
C. B. Wade.
"By all means, let us havo tho sow
er. If $30,000 is not enough to build
a sewerago system necessary to tho
town, It will get the thing started and
it will bo better to huvo that than
nothing. Tho health of tho commu

tem than wo have at the present
time."
James A. Fee.
"Pendleton ought to have a Buwor
uge system but I do not bolievo that
it will bo right to vote a tax of $30,
000 on the tax-payoia of this city to
build a pipo down Main and Court
I btreets and leavo out tiio rest of tho
j town. The amount of money nukod to
bo devoted will only start a sowerago
system. I am heartily In tavor ol
sewerago and tho health of the town
demands It, but it should In thorough
I would bo In favor of voting a larger
tax than $3U,ouo."
Fred E. Judd.
"I am in favor of voting tho $30,000
to build a sewerago system in Pendle
ton. Tho town needs IL and If $.'JU,W0
is not enough to build a thorough sys
tem it will bo much better than what
wu now have, it will' place a sower
down tho "principal streets and tho
property-holders can thou connect
with the main sewer pipes. 1 think
tho measure will carry without a
doubt."
Judge Thomas Fltz Gerald.
'There is 1,01111) kick against voting
a tux of $30,000 to build a sewer sys

R. Alexander.
"1 am heartily In favor of sowerago.
