Editor East Oregontan: The long looked for and much talked of big passenger automobile and freight ear that Is to run between Cross Keys and Bend In Crook county, arrived in Shanlko. After being set up and Inspected to see that everything was in running order, she was Introduced to the sage crush country on a trial trip of five or six miles. The big auto which carries 12 passengers, and looks as big as a freight car, was In the best of humor and worked like a well trained sheep dog. In fact. It be haved so well on the trip that on its return It passengers were soon reg istered and paid 69.60 apiece for a ride to Prlnevllle, In order to have the name of being the first to ride on auto Into the Inland Empire. By t o'clock Friday morning 12 as Jolly chaps as ever met, followed by a crowd of sightseers, had gath ered around the big machine to see her off. When all were seated and well wishes for a successful trip was said, the chauffuer pulled the throt tle open and soon she was in motion Up Union street, out onto the pra irie, down Cross-Hollen canyon for about two miles and up against a rock she dashed and came to a sud den stop. On- examination It was found tlmt the transmitter had been broken and could go no further until repaired, which would at least take four days as they would have to send to Portland for them. The passengers, not feeling like being twitted by the crowd over their unfortunate mishap, walked on into Antelope, where they took the stage And continued on toward Prlnevllle. The auto was hauled back to Shan- Iko with a four-horse team. The cause of the break was that they had a 80 horse-power engine on a 40 horse-power machine, the roads -were too rough and the load too heavy. M. S. W. PENDLETON DEFEATED ECHO. Rain Stopped the Game at End of Seventh Inning. By a score of eight to four, Pen dleton defeated Echo at Baseball yesterday In a game that lasted but seven Innings. At the end of that time It was necessary to call the game on account of the rain, and Pendleton being in the lead was given the game. Twelve players were taken down yesterday, and all were played during the game. Good ball is said by the manager to have been played by all, and especially was this true of the batting. The pitching for Pendleton ! Kidney Signals Any signs of weakened or dis ordered kidneys should be promptly heeded. Slight kidney ailments may soon become serious ones.

Knight acted as um pire during the first part of the game, and was replaced by Clark Nelson. A good game Is said to have been played by the Echo boys, and It is believed that with more practice they will put up even a much stronger game. The return will be played here some time in June, and Manager Oliver, of the Echo team, states that they will make every effort to win at that time. Next Sunday the first game of the season to be played here will occur between the Weston nine and the home team. From all accounts it is apparent that Weston has a formida ble team, and that a close game will be played. Clark Nelson, the mana ger of the Weston team, believes that his nine will win the game. At any rate, a very interesting time is prom Ised, whatever the result may be. TEACHING CONTRACTS FILED. Reports Received From Recently Closed Schools.

Nearly All the Sales so Far Effected Have Been In the Southern Part of the County A Large Proportion Are Yearlings, and After Shearing They Will Be Sent to Dakota for Fattening 12,000 Head of First National Bank Stock Sold. With the near approach of shear ing time the sheep market has at last loosened up, and sales are now being made rather freely. During the past week Hunter & Stephens have purchased a total of 20,000 head from various growers south of this place, the sales In detail being as fol lows: One thousand eight hundred head of A. H. Sunderman, of Echo; 1100 head of Otto Relmann, Combs can yon; 2000 head of Donald Ross, Vin son; 1000 head of William Chapman, Vinson; 1000 head of Chris Nelson, Vinson; 1800 head of Joe Vey. Echo. All of the above sheep were yearl ings, and according to Mr. Stephens. are to be sent from here after shear ing to Dakota, where they will be fattened for the Chicago market. The prices paid, according to Mr. Steph ens, range in the neighborhood of 62.25 per head after shearing. Besides the above, 12,000 head of ewes, lambs and yearlings were bought of Herbert Boylen. They were the First National Bank stock, and are said to be a fine lot of sheep. Mr. Stephens intends to summer the ewes and lambs In Eastern Oregon, and will probably ship the yearlings of the band to Dakota with his other purchases. From all accounts, shearing will now soon commence In the country west and south of here, although ' It Is said that sheepmen are In no hurry to begin, as the longer they wait the heavier will their clip be, and the less the danger of unfavorable weath er, A VERY SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.

Arlington-Condon Branch Will fie Ready for Operation About May 15. County Commissioner Horace Wal ker nas just returned from a trip to Arlington and Condon and says the branch road between those points Is rapidly nearlng completion. It Is thought it will be ready for opera tion about May 15. x ne iracK is now laid ns far as Rock Creek, 18 miles from Condon, and a large force of men Is at work. Construction trains are run over the road, but no freight is handled yet Four stages now run from Arlington to Condon and are loaded at every trip. Owing to the fact that many of the freighters have sold off their teams and quit the business, it Is dif ficult to get freight into Condon and building material and other neces saries are not plentiful. Mr. Walker expects to see a building boom In Condon when the railroad reaches the city. GRAND JURY DISCHARGED. Eastern Oregon Members Return Home After Most Historical Sen-don Ever Held in the State. The most historical session of a federal grand Jury ever held In Ore gon, was brought to an end Saturday night George D. Peebler and Al Vogel, of this city; John Shaw, of North Pow der, 'who have been serving on the Jury, returned home last evening, and all speak In highest terms of the manner In which the sessions were conducted by Francis J. Heney, dep uty attorney general, who has hnd charge of the land frauds, which has been the only business to come before this session. From the evidence now In the hands of Mr. Heney, the members say it seems Impossible to understand how a Jury can fail to convict those charged with the different crimes for which they have been Indicted. DEATH OF ARTHUR DRESSOR. Took Place at the Hospital as Result of Typhoid Pneumonia. Saturday afternoon Arthur Dressor died at St. Anthony's hospital of ty- phold pneumonlt. Dressor wns but 17 years old and was brought up from Echo on the passenger train the preceding evening. However, his condition was so serious that noth ing could be done for him, and he died within 24 hours after arriving here. The deceased had been engaged as a sheep herder on one of the ranches near Echo, and has a brother living near Pilot Rock, who 1b now here as a result of his brother's death. - The funeral was held this after noon from the Baker & Folsom un dertaking parlors, and the interment was In Olney cemetery. OUTSIDE SHEEP BARRED. Grant County Closes the Gates Against Migratory Herds. The regular March meeting of the Range Protection association of Grant county was held at Hamilton on March 25, on which date the com mittee on ways and means reported that all trails leading to and all pri vate bridges across the North Fork river were closed to outside sheep, says the Blue Mountain Eagle. The association passed a resolution asking the county court to enforce the law. If any exist, or to make an order regulating the travel of sheep across the bridge at Monument. It will be seen that the annual coming of outside sheep Into Grant county is not wanted by the people In the north part of the county. This is not confined to cattlemen, but to sheepmen also. The closing of all trails leading to the north fork of the John Day river, and of all private bridges across said stream, means that outside Bheepmen will find some difficulty In getting their bands to the summer range heretofore enjoyed by them. The next meeting of the Range Protection association will be held at Long Creek on April 29. FINED FOR SLOT MACHINES. Nine Firms Contribue a Total of 1330.

Ar rangements are alreay made with a California firm to put In a fruit pack ing and canning plant, which will be a fixture for all time to come; 4,500,- 000 pounds of fruit was the produc tion last year. What will that amount to In money at one cent per pound? Echo News. New Dally at Sumpter.
