Newell Instruct Engineer! on Butter Creek Preposition Hold-up In the Prlcet Will Caute Abandonment of Scheme. Washington, April 11. Hydro grapher Ncwoll, of the geological sur vey, has directed his field engineers who are examining the withdrawn lands in Umatilla and Morrow coun ties. In the Butter Creek country to give special attention to all claims of individuals and companies who own or claim to own prior canal rights In that vicinity, and to determine wheth er or not these rights, if they exist, will interfere with government recla mation.

Inasmuch as the water level In this stream is exceedingly low in the summer months when the water is necessary for Irrigation pur poses, their scheme would never have profited anything. The scheme roughly outlined by the geological survey contemplates the construction of storage reservoirs for Impounding the flood water of Uma tilla River and a number of smaller streams in that locality, and holding It in reserve until the summer, when it ran lm iMctrH...!..! - . .

Stock Inspector Kirk Reports Ne Looms Except Old Sheep. Stock Inspector C. S. Kirk returned last Friday from a 10-days' trip through Sand Hollow ,the lower sand country and Rhea Creek, where he has been Inspecting sheep, says the Heppner Times. Ho renortR thnt l-mi ,... - . .....IV 0(tt7ClI ItlU yet quite thin In these sections, they .c oti-uKiiit-uuiK on tne new grass. There has been scarcely any feeding in the sand country during the win ter, and naturally sheep aro rather thin In flesh, but Mr. Kirk says, there has been no loss except some old sheep have succumbed as a conse quence of old age rather than from lack of forage. He reports some scab among the flocks in the north end of tho county, but that sheep thus affected have been ordered to bo dipped as soon as the lambing and shearing season is over. Shearing has been in progress in that section the past two weeks, and lambing Is about a thing of the past for the season. The flocks of Morrow county gen erally have come through fairly well considering the long forage feeding season. SHOT IN COLD BLOOD JAMES JONES, SHEEPMAN, MURDERED BY JOHN CLICK. Dispute Over Sheep Range Was the Cause Jonet Had Threatened Ollck, and Wat Under Bonds. Fossil, Or., April 11. James Jones, a sheepman, was murdered at 3:30 p. ra, Wednesday on the south fork of the John Day River, IB miles above Spray, and 50 miles aoutheaat of Fos sil. John Click, who admits that h did the shooting, rode Into Mitchell, 35 miles from here, and gave himself up. Tho trouble between the two men arose over the use of a sheep rango. Last fall Jones pulled a gun on Qllck. The latter had him arrestd In Grant county, and he was bound over to the statu circuit court under $250 bonds. This case was still pending at the time of the shooting. Tho murder appears to have been premeditated. Jones was unarmed, and Qllck shot him through tho hand and body with a rifle or shotgun. Jones died Instantly. His body was brought into Mitchell Wednesday and there the murderer will bo held until tho arrival of tho sheriff, who has gone from Fossil to tako him In cus tody. While Click admits his guilt, he refuses to discuss his motives. Stock Farm for Sale. We have the Jas. Lindsay farm, near Alba for sale.

A Preparation Discovered That Will Destroy the Dandruff Germ. For some time It has been known that dandruff is caused by a germ that digs up the scalps into littlo white flakes and by sapping the vi tality of the hair at the root, causes falling hair, and, of course, finally baldness. For years there have beon all kinds of hair stimulants and scalp tonics on the market, but there has been no permanent cure for dandruff until the discovery of n preparation called Ncwbro's Herplclde, which de stroys the dandruff germ. Destroy the cause the effect will cease to ex ist. Kill the dandruff germ and you'll have no dam'ruff germ and you'll have no dandruff, no Itching scalp, no falling hair. Sold by leading drug gists.

THE BEST MANUFACTURING COMPANY STEAM AND HORBK POWER COMBINED HARVESTERS As McCormlck waa the original invontor of the roaper and head er, so waa "Best" the original Inventor of tho first auccetsful Com bined Harvester. We wish to call the attention of our friends who contemplate purchasing a Slde-HIll Combined Harvester the coming season, that we are still in the lead in the way of improvements, in harvesting machinery, and which our farmer friends have rightfully named tho "KINO OF THE FIELD." After watching Its work In the field the past sixteen years, and for the season of 1903 It will be still better, as we have made a number of valuable Improvements. The MACHINE is the stronost and most durable made. IMPROVED DRIVE WHEEL3 5 feet 4 inches high, 22 Inch tire. RUNAWAYS are a rare thing with us. There is a brake oa main drive wheel, which is controlled by the driver. HEADER is driven Independently from tho grain wheel of sep arator, and Is arranged with a clutch for throwing In and out of gear when turning corners, THE SEPARATOR Wo wish to call your attention particularly to the separating qualities of our machine. We claim that no other combined harvester on the market can in any. way compare with it forspeed aud thoroughness of work, In all kinds and conditions of grain, and will require less team to operato it. AUTOMATIC GOVERNOR Our patent wind governor on the fans governs the blast so that at any speed at which the harvester may be traveling, the wind is automatically regulated and prevents cloging the shoe and carrying the grain over in hte straw. We take pleasure in Inviting you to call on Temple V Wilcox, Pendleton, and mako a personal Inspection of each and every part of our machines before placing your orders. Every machine warrant ed to do all we claim for It and to bo first-class nl evry respect. TEMPLE & WILCOX, Local Agents HIGHLHND STOCK I WILL BE ADVANCED IN PRICE MAY 15th, 1903 Development at the Highland Mine Justifies an Advance in the Price of Stock. It is Much More 3 Valuable Now Than When We Placed the Jbirst Allotment on tne MarKet fcome Two Months Ago. 3 CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTS A crew of men have been constantly at work ever since we acquired this property and the Glasgow crosscut us now encountered and fully crosscut the ledge. In this eiosKcut we have oened up a body of ore sixteen feet in width carrying good commercial values. In shaking of commercial values we mean ores Hch have a sufficient value to pay for the extraction lu'lling and all other incidental expenses thereto, with ntgh of a margin left over to pay good dividends to the stockholders. fhis large body of ore was not in the nature of a surprise, we simply expected it, as the surface develop ni'iits showed this same large body of ore, and thero was reason why it should not le encountered in this cross 't and at this depth. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT fm i arC "mv tur,line t0 drift- on the ledge to the west , m 1he crosscut in order that we may open up the richer tl ?

Tfsting to all who arc interested, or may become "titer cited in the Highland mine, as it will certainly open up ore IkmHcs rich in quality and in largo quantities. It will demonstrate that the Highland will rank as one of the largest producers in the district. From now on the development work will he com paratively easy and not very expensive, as we will bo drifting alongthe ledge where the ground is much easier to work than in tho country rock which encases the vein. Kvery month will show a large increase in our ore reserves. FREE TRIP TO THE HIGHLAND To any one who wishes to invest a reasonable sum of money in the Highland mine, we will pay all traveling expenses to and from the mine for the purpose of his making a jwrMmal examination. J a offering you a freo trip to tho Highland wo feel that this is proof within itself of the value of this prop erty as it stands to reason that if wo di dnot have a good initio thero and all that we claim for it we could not offer ou such an inducement. We would be only too glad to havo each and every on'- who contemplates the investment of money in mines, me out and look over this properly and tho district in general. Jn offering to pay your expenses out here and back wo feel that we are not running any risk whatsoever as we know positively that no one, no matter how great or conservative an expert or mining engineer ho may be, could possibly, roughly speaking, "turn it down." POOL YOUR INTERESTS If you have not sufficient money yoursolf to justify you in coming to the Highland to look it over before in verting, we would suggest that you and your friend make up a small pool, and send one of your number nut here to look over the Highland.
