At That Price They Cannot Get as Mitch an They Need, and Stock Are Starving Large Rands of Sheep With No Feed for Them One Man ; ItcfiiHcd 970 Per Ton Because Ills Own Animals Needed It liny Cun. not Be Hauled From Ontario lie cause of the Bad Koada. In Vale on March 14, between the hour of 8 In the morning and 2 o'clock In the afternoon the price of hay jumped from (60 to ISO a ton, according; to B. R. Robinson, general bridge and timber Inspector for the O. R. A N., who Is In Baker City to day on his way from the Interior to La Grande, says the Herald. The sheepmen and stockmen of Malheur county are In dire distress, the rail road man says, and at $80 a ton they are unable to secure the hay which Is necessary to save the lives of their stock. Mr. Robinson was In Vale visiting his uncle, George Vanderhoff. Mr. Vanderhoff, he says, has about 10 tons of hay which h was offered $70 a ton for yesterday noon, but which price he was compelled to refuse as the fodder Is necessary for the use of his own horses. In all parts of the county are people with from 3000 to 4000 head of sheep and no hay to feed them. There are . also largo bands upon the range, where they were turned during the warm weath er and these In no way can be saved. He estimates that from 20 to 25 per cent of the livestock of the county will be lost as a result of the present storm. The storm was not quite so severe In Malheur county In the matter of Know as It was here, there being but 10 Inches, but the weather has been colder. Tuesday morning the ther mometer dropped to 18 degrees be low zero and yesterday morning It was 11 degrees below. Two of the heaviest losers, accord ing to Mr. Robinson, will be Mr. Hurkness and J. V. Hnnsbury. Hark- liens had a band of 3000 sheep on the range when the storm broke and Hansbury had between 6000 and 7000 head of sheep on the desert towards Red Butte. Neither of these sheep men were able to get their flocks under cover and their efforts to pur chase hay are unavailing. There is not a ton of hay to be bought at any price above Vale, Mr. Robinson says, and although It Is but 1 miles to Ontario hay cannot be hauled In. The roads are in such a condition with mud and snow that n span of horses would be unable to haul more than 1000 pounds over them. hns 13 years to complete payment, should his land cost him 126 an acre or less. Deferred payments bear 0 per cent Interest. The sale on April 14 will o'lose out the last of the state land under the Twin Falls canal system and will be the largest and by far the most im portant sale ever conducted by the state. Each unit will be offered sep arately and none will be sold for lers than the appraised valuation. It Is anticipated thut there will be exceed ingly lively bidding on some of the choice units which are well located and of superior quality. Among these are several In the vicinity of Twin Falls which are likely to bring fancy prices. SETTLING OLD MEXICO. BIG SALE OF SCHOOL LAND. Favorable Land Lawn Invite Ameri can Investors. M. Donzac returned last night from a trip to southern California and old Mexico, says the Lewlston Tribune. Mr. Donzac spent nine weeks In the latter country and visited all the prin cipal cities there. He was In the City of Mexico for a month. Mr. Donzac, In conversation with a Tribune re porter, said: "Yes, I believe that conditions now obtaining In Mexico are of a charac ter that will ultimately result In that country becoming a part of the Unit ed States. "It may take 100 yearB, but it will come as a result of the rush of Amer ican capital, energy and Ingenuity. No, I can't say that I was lonesome there. I found plenty of Americans. There are 25,000 or 30.000 Americans In the City of Mexico and that city also accommodates from 18 to 20 American hotels. "It can be readily realized that there Is a large American population In Mexico when It Is considered that American Investments now reach six hundred million dollars. Other for eign nations are extensively Interested also hi the commercial life of Mexi co. I noted that French capital is largely Interested In dry goods stores and hotels; the German capital In hardware stores and such lines; the Spaniard In the grocery establish ments, while the Engllnhmen lean to railroads. The American capital Is also lnrgely interested In railroads. Three-fourths of the railroads are owned by outside capital. "It appears that all the conductors on the first-class trains are Americans while Mexicans handle the second and third-class. Yes, I believe there are opportunities fur profitable invest ment In Old Mexico. The oppnrluni ties, as I sec them, 'are In lands, rail roads and business enterprises. The lands are held In ranches of immense areas and will In time be cut op Into smaller tracts and become the homes of colonies." Mr. Donzac made no Investments In Mexico, but has made application for BOO acres of government land near Tamplco. If the application Is grant ed the land will cost him $1.25 an acre. Under the land laws of that country he can employ a substitute to reside upon the tract and make such improvements as are required. ll.tMIO Acres Will Be Closed Out at Twin FalK The Twin Falls Advance particu larizes as follows concerning the next disposal of state lands In Idaho, men tioning that 11,000 acres of the entire amount to be sold lies under the Twin Falls Irrigation system: The public school funds of the state of Idaho will, It Is expected, be increased by fully a quarter of a mil lion dollars on April 14. 1908, with more than 14.000 acres of state school land will be sold here at public auc tion. Over 11,000 acres of the land to be sold Is under the Twin Falls canal system and the major portion Is classified as No. 1. It Is predicted that many units under the canal sys tem will sell for more than double the appraised valuation, which varies from Jlii to $25 an acre. Adjoining land of no better quality has recently changes hands at bonuses varying from $10 to $0 an acre. By the terms of its contract with the state, the Twin Falls Land ft Water company furnishes water for state land for $15.50 an acre, as com pared with J25 an acre for the Carey act land. In addition to this advan tage of $10 an acre to begin with, the state hind Is made more desirable by reason of the fact that no residence Is required and the purchaser has one year In which to purchase his water contract. To encourage the Immedi ate purchase of water rights, how ever, the Land & Water company has made special terms for this sule. Heretofore the rule has been that the purchaser hod five years In which to pay for his water right, while the en tryman under the Cnrey act had 10 years. Another attractive feature la the rfact that the purchaser of state land Spraysj n ......h t ,I1A1 ,,! llllllllU. Prwme voiir tree wul plains Mnko tlicm clcun and prodiict Ive.

An appropriation of 10.000 cubic feet of water out of the Yakima river was made on Wednesday by Robert B. Hunter and Gelrge Welkel, repre senting eastern capitalists, says the Yakima Republic The plant contem plated will have sufficient capacity to furnish all the power that will be re quired for an electric railway system for the valley, for lighting purposes, and for other power purposes.. The water Is to be diverted at a point between the northeast quarter ond the northwest quarter of section 17-12-19. This is on the east side of the Yakima river, opposite the mouth of the Ahtanum creek. The water Is to be conveyed In a flume and ditch to a point at the southwest corner of section 28-12-19. where it Is to be used for turning turbine wheels for generating power. Mr. Hunter Is connected with the acetylene gas company of this city. He said to the reporter: "We made this appropriation for power purposes only. We do not know whether we can get 10.000 cu bic feet out of the river, but the plant thot Is proposed will utilize practi cally till the water there Is in the Yakima river. The people we repre sent are eastern capitalists. An en gineer Is now engaged on a survey of the site of the plant and as soon as he gives us figures we will be able to state Just what can be accomplished here. "The location selected for this plant is one of the best In the valley to my mind. It Is almost In the cen ter of the valley. The power that will be generated will be usetl for various purposes. It can be used for lighting, for pumping water to lands above ditches, for electric car eys. terns and other power purposes. All the towns below here will be furnish ed with electric lights from this plant and it Is possible that we will Invade the North Yakima field." Doctors Are Puzzled. The remarkable recovery of Ken neth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., is the subject of much Interest to the medi cal fraternity and a wide circle of friends. He says of his case: "Owing to severe inflammation of the throat and congestion of the lungs, three doctors gave me up to die. when, as a last resort, I was Induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery and I am happy to say, It saved my life."

To Every Home "VAS DER DINNER A FAILURE? for fct is with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favcr indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front cf every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of anv other company, do not accept it.

The Denver Post says of Alberta Gallatin, who will appear at the Fra zer In this city on March 21: Alberta Gallatin, a daughter of the Confederacy, whose father, General Albert Gallatin Jenkins, distinguished himself at Gettysburg, and was wounded while commanding southern cavalry. Is resting In Denver for a week with her theatrical company. Alberta Gallatin, whose distinguish ed parentage has endeared her to southern folk, and whose appearance as leading woman with Mrs. Fiske, E. H. Sothern. Henry Miller, Richard Mansfield, Joseph Jefferson and other notable players, has made her name familiar to playgoers, Is directed by her New York managers, who have exploited her In "Sapho," "Nell Gwynne," "Ghosts:" and "As You Like It." to rest here for a week. Miss Gallatin is the possessor of auburn hair, blue gray eyes, regular features and an exquisite taste In dress. To talk whh her Is to find a woman genially optimistic and Ironl colly good natured. "Cousin Kate" was played here re cently, with my permission, I. at that time not anticipating the extension, of my tour to the Pacific coast. Thus we ore having a holiday amid Ideal surroundings, and I am gathering In dian curios for my home at Green wich, Conn.; enjoying this lovely weather and am gratefnl for all the good fortune that hns befallen me." said Miss Gallatin. She is a direct descendant of that Albert Gallatin who was secretary of the treasury under Jefferson and Madison, and she has elected to reside In the north when hei theatrtoal engagements per mit. "The languor of the south, the ac tivity of the north, and the absence of conventionality In the west are all Indicated In the audiences I greet nightly as 'Cousin Kate,' which I like to play. 'Never mind, everything will be better when Cousin Kate comes.' Is a speech of one of the characters In the play, and I verily believe that north, south, east or west my audi ences are as pleased with gloom dis pelling Cousin Kate as they were with Rosnllnd In Shapespeare's comedy. Anyway, they are more pleased than with Ibsen's 'Ghosts,' and manifest their approval by round dollars and rounds of applause." "I have completed 20 weeks of my tour and am en route to the Pacific coast and return via Northern Pacific to St. Paul, thence to Chicago, and home. I have secured a play from a native author which will. I think, give me as wide a range for emotion al display as 'Camllle,' 'Sapho' or 'Ghoste' and yet possess a series of delightful comedy scenes. I hope to present It here In December." 'Piff, Paff, Pour March SO. Stanislaus Stange, author of B. C. Whitney's big musical production. "Piff, Paff, Pout," that Is to come to the Fraser on March $0, cast about for a considerable length of time In search of an appropriate title for the new work, while It was In scenario form, and, after having taxed his brain more than usual, tine evening exclaimed despairingly: "Piff, Paff, Pouf!" His wife saw the adaptability of the phrase immediately and said: "There's a good name for the new play," and so "Piff, Paff. Pouf" was christened and became the name of this now famous musical production. Land Scrip. For sale will take surveyed or un surveyed land. Military bounty warrants bought. W. D.
