The melting of the snow In the
foothills and mountains, caused the
Walla "Walla river to rise quite rapid

quite a lot of damage In the way of
washing out irrigation drains, and

The Christmas morning shooting
affair in the Miller saloon, in Free
water, still remains unsolved and af
fords gossip for the town. Just how
a dozen or more shots could be fired
in the presence of a score of men
an no one know where tliey came
from, Is a wonder of the twentieth
century.
The fact is that a score of men
know who did it, but as tho city ordt
nance makes it a penalty to carry or
use firearms within the city limits,
no one wants to reveal the secret.
Nevertheless, the stove is fatally
shot and the city authorities are ly
ing low.

5tock Inspector of Baker County
Says it Would Kill Sheep Industry.
Jonathan Parker, stock inspector of
Baker county, is opposed to the pro
posed range limit law, that Is now
being agitated throughout Eastern
Oregon, and in his annual report
says:
'First and foremost, we have
enough sheep now in this county be
longing to citizens who pay taxes on
the same in Baker county, to graze
the whole range lying within the
boundaries of the county, and this bo
lug the case, It must inevitably hap
pen, and that at once, that our graz
ing range will be eaten down too
closely, and finally permanently dam
aged. If more stock Is allowed to
graze thereon than is to be' found
within thp confines of the county be
longing to citizens of the same.
"It is my opinion that what is
known as the 'two .mile limit' scheme
Is not only Impracticable, and a law
compelling sheep owners to keep
their sheep not less than two miles
away from any agricultural ranch
other than that of tho owner of the
flock, must necessarily result In the
practical extinction of the sheep In
dustry in our county. On the other
hand, I am told by lawyers of ability
who have given the matter attention
and study, that such a law would not
stand the test of either our state or
the federal constitution, on account of
its application being to a special
class of property. Mr. Parker's report
shows that Baker county has 101,115
head of sheep, divided among C5
owners.
Tho largest Individual owner Is W.
G. Ayrc, of Durkee, who owns 15,000
head.
