Grain Belonged to the Mulrs, the
Pasture to tho Indians lire Origi

Natural Limit.
About 1500 sacks of wheat, a field
of stubble and several thousand acres
of bunchgrass pasture were burned
by the fire which started on the Mulr
Brothers' place yesterday afternoon.
The grain was the property of the
Mulrs and was covered by insurance,
while the pasture is said to have been
open land belonging to the Indians.
Last night J. D. Mulr came to town
after the fire had passed over their
place, and consulted with Messrs.
Moorhouse & Hamilton, agents for
the Norwich-Union Insurance com
pany, in which concern the wheat
was insured. According to Mr. Mulr
the fire started in a bunk house that
had been used by harvest hands, and
from that building spread to a field
of stubble. In this field there was
lying somewhere near 1500 sacks of
wheat, and it was scattered in wind
rows where it had been left by the
combine which threshed the field.
The stubble was high, and when the
fire became started It was hard to
bring under control. However, the
flames were diverted from about 70
acres of the field, and the wheat lying
there was saved.
From the Muir place the fire swept
southward and set fire to the dry pas
ture on the hillsides. According to
Dave Nelson, who has a grain field
near the Mulr ranch, several thousand
acres must have been burned over
before the fire died down near mid'
night. Willie the fire was burning,
both In the Btubblefleld and on the
hillside, It made one of the fiercest
fires that has been seen in this sec

hard to tell where It would have

was partly protected by a summer fal

Quite a number of farmers llglng In
the vicinity of the fire, and a number
of harvest hands gathered to fight
the flames but there was little that
could be done. The fire on the range
died down about midnight.
TO BUILD FROM KENNEWICK.
Northern Pacific Management Make
the Town Promises.
Kennewick Is to have a new rail
road soon. Such is the direct infor
mation given to C. A. Lundy, Kenne-
wick's representatlv on the boat land
ing proposition, by Second Vice-Pres
ident C. M. Levey, on Monday In the
latter's office at Tacoma.
"We cannot see our way clear to
give Kennewick a boat landing and j
river connection this year," said Mr.
Levey, speaking of the Northern Pa
cific management, "but we have
something better. You people at
Kennewick can depend on the con
struction in the immediate future of
a road through the valley to connect
with the Sunnyside extension from
Mabton. Eventually the line will be
extended down the Columbia to Port
land. Kennewick will be a Junction
point with a full complement of yards
and switches, a railway center of im
portance. "On the Portland route the right of
way has been already secured for the
greater part of the dlsatnce. Large
markets will then be opened to Ken
newick farmers under the present
ditch and those settling on land un
der the Leadbetter canal that will be
put In by the government. Kennewick
will be the railroad town between
Spokane and the coast."
Close Call for Smythe.

attorney, had a narrow escape from

it was he lost a good straw hat under

near Arlington. Friends of the young
man say that they had repeatedly
warned him regarding the cars, but
he evidently disregarded their ad
monitions. Buys Residence Property.

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When It Is Free of Dandruff, It Grows
Luxuriantly
Hair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or Irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of
all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand
ruff Is to kill the germ; and, so far, the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro's Herplclde
absolutely harmless, free from grease,
sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
It allays itching Instantly; makes hair
glossy and soft as silk. "Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect." Sold by

HORSES HELD UP
Bit AN H INSPECTION LAW
DRIVING HORSEMEN AWAY.
II. S. Huson, of Toppenlsh, Has Boon
Put to Enormous Ekmiso and
Trouble by I'nixiptilar and Imprac
ticable I,aw Forty Head of Work
Horses Held Up by Inspector at
Durkee Will Buy No More Horses
In Oregon.
"Horse buyers are being driven out
of Oregon by the brand Inspection
law passed by the state legislature,"
said H. S. Huson, a railroad contrac
toi of Toppenlsh. Wash., who Is In
the city today to secure the release of
two carloads of work horses purchas
ed a week ago at Durkee, Baker
county, and held up on account of
the workings of this unpopular law.
This afternoon Mr. Huson made
out a bond before Deputy District
Attorney John McCourt, Indemnifying
the stock inspector for a certain
horse worth about $50, in Durkee.
It seems that the stock Inspector
had received a letter from some man
In the lzee country Inquiring for a
certain brand, and when the Inspec
tor found one horse in this lot bear
ing this brand, together with three
other brands, he Immediately refus
ed to give permission to move the
horses out of the county until word
could be sent to the Izee country,
over 100 miles away.
Mr. Huson purchased the horse in
question from J. M. Moore, a well
known citizen of Durkee, worth $35,-
000, who guaranteed that the horse
was not stolen. However, the Inspec
tor refused to take anybody's guar
antee but held up the entire ship
ment at great expense to Mr. Huson,
who has a large contract on the Top-
penlsh-Sunnyslde railroad, and Is in
a hurry to get his 'earns to work on
the grade.
Forty head of horses worth $100
I. per head are being held up at great
expense and outside horsemen are be
ing disgusted by the workings of this
law. in this particular case.
Mr. Huson had purchased the
horses and after leaving men with
them to attend to shipping them,
went to Portland, expecting to re
turn today to Toppenlsh and find
his horses there ready for work.
Instead, he received a message In
Portland that the entire shipment
was held up and that he would have
to come back and make arrangements
for their release because one brand
was found among the number.
The facts of the case are that no
Instructions has been given this In
spector to hold horses bearing this
brand, but a stockman In Izzee had
simply made inquiry as to the brand
In Baker county. To say that Mr.
Huson will not come back to Oregon
to buy horses is putting it mild.
RAIL WAS DISPLACED.
Three Young Men Under Arrest at

James Sovereign, I. Holt and Frank
Shelllngs, arrested near Easton
Wash., on a charge of displacing a
rail In an attempt to wreck the
Northern Pacific North Coast Limited

and says his home It at Wallace

Is trying to communicate with his
father, who, he thinks. Is In Seattle.
The boys claim they will have no
trouble In getting cleared, but the of

seems damaging. Their trial will
probably come up early In Septem
ber.

BACK FROM WALLA WALLA.
Lee Kennard Finds Much Sickness
Among Work norsen in Walla Walla
and Umatilla Counties.
Lee Kennard, the well known horse
man, has Just returned from Walla
Walla, where he went 10 days ago
with a number of work horses for
sale.
He finds the market entirely de
moralized because of sickness among
work horses, both in Walla Walla and
Umatilla counties. Many valuable
horses have died within the past few
weeks with what Is called pink eye.
Because of so many horses being af
flicted with it, farmers are slow to
buy any kind of horses, although
needing them badly.
Mr. Kennard is one of the best
horsemen In the county, and has
broken and sold a largo number of
valuable horses In the past year.
ASSESS LODGE PROPERTY.
Or as Mueh of It As Brings In an In
come to the Order.
Property owned by fraternal organ
izations and not actually used by
them for lodge purposes, such as
rented buildings and rooms, will be
levied upon this year by Assessor C.
P. Strain. This decision has been ar
rived at by the assessor after consid
erable Rtudy of the subject.
Under the law property owned by
churches or benevolent orders and
used for religious or fraternal pur
poses Is exempt from taxation. How
ever, property owned by churches and
rented for profit has always been
taxed here; but not so with thnt be
longing to lodges. However, Mr.
Strain says that he sees no valid rea
son why property owned by lodges
and rented to business houses or
otherwise should not ulso be assess
ed. Consequently, he will assess
such this year the same as is done
with other property, and the matter
mny be submitted to the board of
equalization If objection Is made to
his uctlon.
In this city there are several very
Important buildings which have been
exempt In the past. Two of these
are the Odd Fellows and the Masonic
buildings, of which the lower stories
of both are rented. Also, the Eagles'
building will come under the same
head, though it will not he taxed this
year.
However. Mr. Strain says that he
will construe the meaning of ti c law
to be that a lodge is entitled to ex
emption for their meeting hall, and
also for the land upon which their
property stands. So the only por
tions to be assessed will be the rooms
that are rented.
SALOON MEN UNDER FIRE.
They Promise They Will Not Again
Open on Sunday.
Acting District Attorney John Mc
Court filed Information this forenoon
against Roy Stewart and C. II. Wal
ters, saloon men of Weston, on the
charge of having kept their places of
business open last Sunday. The com
plaint against the two men was sworn
to by Rev. Thoroughman and Mr.
Hicks of Weston, who came down last
evening for that purpose. The men
are said to ha-e kept their saloons
open last Sunday In defiance of the
orders of the district attorney.
Attorney McCourt stated this af
ternoon that both men had promised
that the would not repeat their of.
fense tomorrow.
Apparently the saloons at Helix and
Athena, as well as Pendleton, have
been complying with the orders of the
district attorney and sheriff, for no
complaints have been filed agalnit
them.
