Exportatlons Have Lessened the Demand. dteve Chaplain and Charles Bryant loft here this morning with a large bunch of yearlings, which they will ' take to the C-ok ranch on Snake river ays tbe Baker City Herald. The cattle were purchased by W. B. Baker of this city last week in Haines, North Powder and that sec Won of the country. They will be taken to the Cook ranch which Mr. Baker Is Interested in, and kept there during the winter. This winter there Is no market for hay that has been raised In that sec tion, because of the fact that the aheep owners who have In the past used large quantities as feed for their sheep, have this year shipped nearly all of their sheep out of the state. The ranchers therefore have much surplus hay on hand which will not be used, so they are shipping In cattle and will f,l them there this winter. Persons Informed on the subject say that there are not nearly so many sheep on the Snake river now as there were at this time last year. LA GRANDE'S WATER PROBLEM, Complicated by Alleged Attempt at Hold-Vp In Prices, The city council, realizing that the present water supply was inadequate and that other sources sooner or later would have to be secured, spent sev oral hundred dollars on the Folk springs up Mill canyon, says the La Grande observer. These springs, according to the re ports submitted to the council, flow about 90.000 gallons in 24 hours, sur dent for present domestic purposes bat not enough during the Irrigation season. The city, until the first of November had an option on these springs for $3000, and had not this same property frequently changed hands on a basis of from $500 to $1, 100 no doubt the city would have pur chased the property, but the council through It was something in the na ture of a hold-up. Many were In hopes that when the Morgan lake power system was com pleted, that this water could be used, and the city was about to contract for this water, but before doing so, Dr. Richardson, the chairman of the wa ter committee, also of the board of health, sent samples of this water to the state board of health for analy sis, and the report received this week states that this water is not sufficiently wholesome for city pur poses. This leaves the question where it has been for years. For several years the Folk Springs and the Schilling springs could give the city a pure and wholesome supply for nine months In the year. These springs could be con veyed Into the city reservoir for about 115,000. Water Superintendent Gil man Is of the opinion for much less. Now If these claims could be pur chased for a reasonable sum, the city would be Justified, as no doubt these springs would supply us for the next few years, and If properly developed the present flow might be greatly in creased, but unless the city does pur chase this property, no private Indl vldual would think of paying over $1500 for either of these claims, and buyers are scarce at this price. Just as soon as the owners of the Schilling springs thought the city was seriously thinking of utilizing their springs, they asked $6000 for them. The council refused to further consld er the proposition, and the water ques tlon remains unsolved. It Is the In tentlon of the Grand Rondo Electric company to bring the waters of Rock creek Into their Morgan lake reser voir. When this Is accomplished it may provide a pure supply and so the water supply of La Grande will be solved for all time to come. Souio Otlier Property Also Destroyed lire Supported to Havo Originat ed From a CIgnretto No Possible Chance of Rescuing the Horses- No Other Property Was Endniigcr 1 No lire Alarm Was Turned In, on Account of InaccetMlbllity. Nine head of horses were burned to death Saturday night In a fire which completely destroyed the large new stable on the hill nt the west end of Webb street. Also six sets of har ness, two saddles and a wagon were lost. The burned barn was erected last summer by Messrs. Ltndsey and Me llroom, and has been under lease to mun named Jewett, who has been doing a teaming business here. At the time of the fire Mr. Jewett was absent over In Washington, and has not yet reached home. According to the son, the fire was doubtless start ed by his dropping a cigarette when ho put up a horse after having re turned home from a dance late at night The blaze did not reach full headway until quite a while after ward, and when first seen was all ablaze. A number of neighbors gath ered around the burning structure, but as there was no possible show of saving the building and there were no adjoining places endangered no alarm of fire was turned in. Besides the horses in the barn there were four or five others In a corral adjoining, and when young Jewett first reached the scene he let them out-into the street However, there was no possibility of saving the horses that were within, and accord Ing to County Surveyor Klmbrell, who lives near the scene, the animals were probably dead before the fire was discovered. Eight of the animals were work horses, and the ninth was colt. The horses were partly Insur ed. THl'RSDAY'8 RECEPTION. High NEED $500 MORE. Gymnasium Board Is Circulating Sub scription Paper. During the past week or iwo the members of the gymnasium board of the Commercial association, have been circulating the subscription list which was started at the last associa tion meeting, those present signing for over $200.
