Ikd I'oui'll, Broken Hearted liovrr,
Who Hid III tho Inaccessible Canyon
of Snuko River, Has Pusscd Away
I'm- 111) Years He Lived Alone,
Feeding the Traveler mill Nursing
II In Sorrow.
One of the prettiest yet most pltlu
ble romances of the Inland Empire
has Just ended in a lonely cabin on
Snake river, 40 miles below Hunting
ton, on the Oregon side of Hie river.
"Ike" Powell, a lone prospector,
who for 30 years has kept his cabin
open to the traveler, wus found dead'
In his bed o few (lays ago. and was
burled beside the road under a huge
tree which sheltered his cabin.
Powell came west In IStM and for
10 years prospected In Oregon and
Idaho without success. He always
hoped to make a stake and go buck
to Pennsylvania, his native state, and
wed the girl of his choice, to whom
he was betrothed.
In 1874 word came that his ufflanc
ed had died while nursing miners In
jured In a horrible mine explosion In
bis native Pennsylvania town.
The news broke his heart. He quit
visiting the settlements of Eastern
Oregon. For four or five years he
was completely lost to tho world,
when by accident a hunting party
from Grand Konde valley found his
lonely cabin In an almost inaccessi
ble canyon on the desolate brakes of
Snake river.
He lived by hunting, fishing and cul
tivating a small garden on the bank
of the Snake. From the lime ho re
ceived the news of his sweetheart's
death he neither shaved nor trimmed
his hair and became a typical hermit.
Gradually civilization crowded In
upon nis lonely retreat. Hrownlee's
ferry was established on Snake river.
A road leading from Pine valley to the
mouth of Pine creek was built past his
retreat and freighters, cowboys, pros
pectors and hunters traveled that
mountain highway In passing from
Oregon to Idaho by way of Urownlee's
ferry.
Powell's fine garden of tomatoes,
melons and cabbage and his early
peaches were far-famed. He fed
everybody who passed, but ulwuys re
fused money. He panned out consid
erable gold dust along the banks of
the river which he traded for his scant
clothing and shoes.
He never read papers nor books,
and was never known to write a let
ter after losing himself In his moun
tain hermitage.
Before he went Into his seclusion he
was an excellent violinist, and took a
delight In attending the pioneer
dunces, but he never touched a violin
string in his lust snd years.
Many a hungry, wenry und footsore
traveler can testify to the welcome
hospitality of that lonely cabin, and
no one ever left Its threshold hungry.
The request of the old pioneer was
that he be buried near his cabin and
that no stone of other monument be
erected to mark the spot.
Tender hands of neighbors laid the
hermit to rest under his pine tree and
bis cabin has been closed.
He left ns near nothing for Identifi
cation as possible. Not a book, pa
per, or scratch of a pen remained to
tell his story nnd only his name and
his kindly deeds linger In the memory
of living friends to Indicate that such
a man as "Ike" Powell ever lived on
earth.
SHEARERS OROAXIZE.
Sheepshearers Form a New Villon at
Rutin Meeting.
Wth the adoption of the new consti
tution, the Hund and Machine Shcop
sheurers' union went out of existence
at a meeting In Butte, a few days ago,
and the organization will bo known
hereafter as the Sheepshearers' Union
of America. The union also withdrew
from affllintlon with the American
Labor union, the Montana State Fed
eration of Labor and the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor assembly, and will
go it alone In the world of labor.
The sheepshearers concluded their
fourth annual convention with the
election of the following officers:
Plutl Richardson of Butte, presi
dent and secretary-treasurer: J. O.
Carlston of Fuirvlew. Utah, vice-president:
S. Peralta of San Luis Obispo,
Cnl., J. A. Norton of San Francisco,
and A. L. Tllford of Great Falls,
Mont., members of the executive
board.
It was decided to hold the next con
vention of the union In Butto July 23,
1906. That city will continue to be j
headquarters for the union. :
Tho nowor of the executive board '
to order a strike has been taken away
and other labor bodies will have no
voice In the matters of wages and
strikes of tho union.
"We have good reason for with
drawing from the bead unions." Pres
ident Richardson is quoted ns saying.
"Our work is different from lhat of
any other class of laborers and we
found that there were a number of
rules and regulations In the higher
unions which we could not comply
with and get good results.
"We are not In one locality more
than 30 days at a time and It requires
iibout that much time to get the gov
erning unions In action. If we want-1
ed to strike we had to appeal to the
different executive boards and before

through In the locality where we were
having trouble und ready to move
on to the next place. Sheepshearers
receive about $10 per day and their
work has to be done at a certain sea
son of the year in the various locali
ties. "If we are delayed by waiting on
the governing unions to which we
were affiliated we would lose a con
siderable amount of money In wages.
Our union covers the whole district
of North America and we begin our
work In the southern climate and
work northward us the season pro
gresses. We are well paid, but our
expenses are very heavy."
THE TOMBSTONE CENSOR.
He flees That No Unseemly Inscrip
tion Man the Cemetery.
A loniliKlouo censor Is employed by
most large cemeteries. It Is tile duty
of this mail to sec Unit nothing unseem
ly In the way of n tombstone Is put up.
A young engineer In a Norrlstown
mill was killed liy the explosion of u
boiler, uml the family of tills young
mail, believing tlmt the mill owners
Inn! known nil along Unit the boiler
wus defective, actually hud curved on
the liiinlislone the sentence, "Murdered
by his masters." The tombstone cen
sor, of coinsc, refused to sanction such
III epitaph.
On the dentil ( certain noted prists
fighter the surviving brother of the
mini wanted to put In a glass case be
side Hie grave a championship belt,
four medals, a pair of gloves nnil other
trophies of the ring. Hut tho censor's
negative was llrm.
A widow who believed Hint Jim phy
sician wus responsible for her hus
band's death wished to put on the
tomb, "He employed a cheap doctor."
but the tombstone censor showed her
that sucli an inscription would lay her
oM'ii to henvy damages for libel.
Atheists sometimes direct In tlielr
wills that shocking blasphemies be
carved on their monuments. The cen
sor, however, sees to It that these blas
phemies do not disfigure the cemetery.

UNCANNY EYES.
Home of the ueer TIiIiiks Brought
I p In Deep Sea Nuandlnsi.
They caught otie flsli far dowu lu the
Caribbean that had no eyes at all nor
any places for eyes, but long uuteuuae
ran out from Its nose by which it felt
Its way und found Its food. In the
next haul was a llsli witli two convex
lenses In place of eyes. These lenses
were highly polished or burnished.
They were of u g ilden hue. and they
gleamed lu the sunlight like Jewels. An
other fish, a big fellow, hud eyes whlcli
grew- on stems or stulks that stuck out
six Inches from its licail. Thru came
one Willi an eye that grew on a loug
stem like a lily stem, quite eighteen
Inches from the nose, and the professor
said lhat it wus an eye made for pok
ing Itself Into other lishes' business.
The stem w as flexible and waved buck
ward and forward or bent with Its owu
weight, and sometimes the fish traveled
with the eye doubled und T It about the
middle of Its body or trailing In the
sand or mini.
Some of the eyes when put Into sea
water in the dark shone like laulerns.
Others of the tislics had brilliant spots
along their sides that emitted a ghostly
rndlnnce, and they seemed to have
lighted portholes or windows like a
Blender steamer rushing through the
seas after night. St. Nicholas.
PEWS IN CHURCHES.
At First They Were Allowed Only as
Personal Faron.
Private pews, first allowed as person
al favors, appeared in churches In the
reign of Henry VIII. In spite of the
stout opposition of Sir Thomas More
and others they gained ground under
Elizabeth and Chnrles I. and after the
restoration ciitne Into Increased favor
and use among well to do citizens who
claimed nnd enjoyed
the Sunday due
Of slumbering in an upper pew.
Swift humorously described how one
was appropriately mude out of a large
wooden bedstead, and in early Geor
gian times pews were to be found fur
nished with sofas and tables and pro
vided with fireplaces.
Bishop Edeu states that in one case a
livery servant entered the pew of his
master between prayers nnd sermon
with sherry and light refreshments.
Thickly curtained or highly partition
ed box pews were so numerous In some
churches at one time Unit the poor were
practically excluded or thrust back Into
comfortless sittings In the coldest and
darkest parts of the church, where they
could hear little of the service. Lon
don Telegraph.
Harvey Combe's ltenror-f.
Perhnps the neatest reproof to a long
winded preacher was that given by
Harvey Combe when lord mayor of
Iondnn to Pr. Tarr. As they were com
ing out of church together Tarr was so
foolish ns to ask the other how he liked
his sermon. "Well, doctor, to speak
frankly, there were four things In It
thnt I did not like to hear. They were
the quarters of tho church clock which
struck before you had finished."

COTTON ON' THE JUDGESHIP.
Says an Old Fascination Holds Him
In Present Position.
"I have not been given a dollar of
lncrci.se in salary nor any enlarge
ment of powers: toward the railway
company I am in exactly the same
official position toduy that I have
been heretofore."
With these words, W. W. Cotton,
general counsel for the O. Ft. & N.
Co., who came home from New York,
disposed of the reports that hud been
in circulation that his declination of
the Judgeship of the United States
district court for Oregon wus due to
the grunting of liberal concessions by
K. H. Harriman, und that he would
henceforth receive tii.OoO a year, in
stead of 115.000, as at present, says
the Oregon Dally Journal.
"Only one change will result," said
he, "und that Is a negligible quanti
ty, merely lhat some additional cleri
cal assistance will be procured In the
b gal department, und I will be re
lieved of some details with whic.S I
have concerned myself In the past."
Mr. Cotton has been at Oyster Buy,
where he talked with President Roos
evelt, und In New York, where he
was nt the Wall street office of the
Harriman roads, and where he con
ferred with E, H. Harriman. He left
for the east July 5, and last Thurs
day started from New York on his
return.
Mr. Cotton's return this morning
brought him an avalanche of tele
phone messages from friends and
business men who desired Immediate
Interviews. Some wished to confer
with him regarding his successor In
the Judgeship. Hut Mr. Cotton refuses
to discuss the question.
HIGHER VALUATIONS.
Jackson County Property Largely In
creased. The assessed vuluutlon of property
in Jackson county this year will reach
a point fnr beyond the expectations of
the people, says the Ashland Record.
Assessor Applegate and the court first
announced that the valuations would
be about doubled, but It seems that a
large amount of new property has
been discovered and In place of doub
ling many heavy property owners they
have In several Instances more than
trebled them and In other cases the
changes In the valuation of heavy
taxpayers have simply been revolu
tionary. The railroad will come In for a
heavy assessment, and It will be some
thing like 120.000 or more per mile
on their roadbed. The timber land
holdings, much of which are held by
absentee landlords, and very valuable,
arc being carefully cruised and will
add to the roll a handsome amount at
a valuation that will surprise the na
tives. It is In evidence alreudy that In
place of a doubling of the total as
sessed valuation the valuation will be
two and a half times greater than
that of the last few years and that It
will be a record breaker. The county
curt has promised that the tux levy
will be reduced and thut the taxpayer
will not be touched to the extent which
he feared at the beginning and that
the assessment will prove satisfactory
In the end. The best results are not
to be expected from the first year's
assessment. The next meeting of the
county equalization board will be an
Interesting session.
J. H. Vllmot, presilent of the Spo
kane Liquor Dealers' association, is
doing his best to have an ordinance
passed in that city prohibiting all free
lunches In saloons.
