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

CHEAT ELECTRIC PLANT.
Irojcotors File on 10,000 Cubic Feet
of Yakima Water.
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." Cures the

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.

Alberta Gallatin March 21.
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.
