REPORTS
UNTRUE
One Jail Sentence Is Sufficient to
Keep Them Moving.
Judgo Fttz Gerald, speaking of the
scarcity of the regular hobo, In Pen.
dleton, today said:
"One Bhort sentence In Pendleton's
city Jail Is sufficient to start the hobo
to more congenial climes. There aro
no luxuries to speak of In the Jail,
and the disappointed specimen who
feels thnt it would bo a happy diver
sion to sit by a warm. Are and eat
three meals a day, oven In Jail, dur
ing the winter months, makes haste
to get out of town after a very brief
sojourn there. The second JalJ sen
tence Is scarcely over necessary to
rersuadc the hobo to leave town.
"Pendleton Is more tree from pro
fessional beggars or hoboes this win
ter than for soveral years.
"The nollco court might be com
oared." said the Judge, "to the out
let of a sewer system. All the moral
filth of the city Is poured Into tho
court, like a sewer pipe dumps Us
burden into the river.
"In tho stories that are told there
Is heard all the private quarrels and
scandals of the town.
"If there Is a family Jar that Is
particularly distasteful, It is poured
Into the ears of the court, in all its
nastv details.
"It Is a moving picture of the world
of petty crime."
SHEEPMEN INTERVIEWED ON
SUBJECT OF DISEASE.
With the Exception of Very Small
Number in One Isolated Band, Uma
tilla County Is Entirely Free From
Scab Stock Inspector Has One
Small Band Quarantined.
There is very little conBrmation of
the report that the epidemic of scab
is on the increase in the county. The
East Oregonian reporter today inter
viewed Charles Cunningham. Gus La
Fontaine and Ilugg Bios, on the sub
ject, and none of the parties named
know of any cases in the county
whatever. Mr .Cunningham was par
ticularly surprised when told of the
existence of such a rumor, declaring
that his band of over 20,000 Is entire
ly free from the disease, whereas one
report had it that all his sheep had
been quarantined. Sheep Inspector
Bean, when interviewed at noon on
the subject, reluctantly admitted that
there is some sheep scab In the coun
ty; in fact that there is one band of
2,000 quarantined now, but declined
to tell to whom they belong or In what
portion of the county the animals
are. He Insisted that the isolation Is
perfect, and the means being used to
eradicate it modern and thorough,
and declares that six weeks more
the disease has existed but two or
three weeks is all that is needed to
, completely get rid of it. The peculiar
part of it is that tie disease was In
troduced by a small Dock or imported
sheep. Until this episode there has
not been a case of scab in the county
for two years and four months, the
native stock being entirely free from
it for that length of time. The signi
ficance of this fact Is most important
when it is remembered that Umatilla
county has 240,000 head of sheep. So
the scare which is developing on the
subject is because one sheep In 120
of the entire stock of the county Is
quarantined and only a .few in that
band of 2,000 now quarantined actual
ly have the disease.
Sewer Contractor.
G. N. Miller, of Seattle, Is In the
city counseling with the council com
mittee on tho sower question. Air.
Miller Is tho man who estimated the
cost of the seven and a half miles of
sewer In this place to be approximate
lv $30,000. He is tho man who plan
ned the sewer system of Walla Walla,
where 26 miles of sewer cost $100,150,
practically the same per mile that the
proposed extension in I'enuieton
would cost. Mr. Miller put in the sow
er system at New Whatcom and Port
Townsend, and was once assistant
city engineer of St. Paul.
City Rock Crusher.
George W. Evans, of Portland, rep
resenting the Buffalo Pitts Company,
Is in the city and will meet tomorrow
night with the city council. Mr.
Evans will endeavor to induce the
council to invest in a steam road roll
er and rock crusher. He states that a
16-ton roller will cost from $3,500 to
$4,000. He hopes that a committee
will be appointed to go to Portland
to examine such a roller as he thinks
the city needs, and also examine its
work.
