WHO IS KUROKI?
6tory That Japanese General May Be
Hector McDonald.
' London, April 27. A curious tale
has gone the rounds of the bazaars
In India and Is believed by every na
tive In England's eastern empire to
the effect that General Kurokl, that
marvelous Japanese commander. Is no
other than Sir Hector McDonald.
Many people have never believed
that the brilliant English general is
dead and not long ago there appeared
In the Times a reward of 15000 to
anyone who had seen his dead body.
It Is also a fact that Sir Hector
was once Invited to go to Japan to
train the Japanese army and he ac
tually mentioned It to Lord Roberts.
No reward has ever been bestowed on
Kurokl, who appears to have vanished
as suddenly as he appeared.
Even the Japanese, with all their
reticence, let out to a correspondent
that Kurokl has much foreign blood
In him end one American journalist
declared he was a Dutchman.

n Francisco, April 27. (Special

StaVr Jordan says as to the cause of
theearthquake and the path it took:
"The recent disturbance is the result
of a fault or break In the Inner, hard

Bruno Baden, between San Mateo and

apparently across to near Pajafro and

"Practically It Is one of the earth

ing to do with Vesuvius or any other
volcano, and It Is not likely to be re

In the former allotment of the We
naha reserve, and on Wednesday Mr.
Keeney was Informed by Superinten
dent Shelter that the company will be
allowed nothing In the Blue Moun
tains reserve which is to be allotted
on May 6. Mr. Sheller held that the
new owners of the company do not
have the range rights of the former
owner, and consequently they can
run no sheep In the reserve as they
were not there last year.
As the Cunningham company has
19,000 head of sheep which they have
planned to range In the Blue moun
tains this summer. It would be a hard
blow for them to be denied land In
the reserve. Consequently they will
mnke every effort to gain entrance,
and should the forest reserve poople
remain obstinate, the matter may be
taken Into the federal court.
According to Mr. Keeney the cus
tom of the country for years has been
that range rights go with a sheep
ranch when sold, and that the gov
ernment has recognised this In the
Cascade reserve. Consequently, he re'
garda the action of Mr. Sheller as de
cidedly unjust.

NT MEETING AT WALLA WALLA
FEE OF $1000 FOR RIDING.
Elks Will Witness "Broncho Busting"
at Denver In July.
Denver, April 27. Perhaps the
highest fee ever given to a horseman
for riding one animal will be given a
"broncho buster" from the cattle
ranees In Wyoming, who will give a
performance of riding a wild horse
before the Elks delegates who come
to Denver to attend the annual reun
ion In July.
A wild horse show will be given for
the entertainment of the visitors and
the champion broncho rider of the
west will be given $1000 to ride a wild
horse for five minutes In the presence
of the assembled multitude.
A great amphitheatre has been put
up for the show, which will consist of
an exemplification of all the wild and
eccentric doings of the cattle country,
such as roping wild steers and horses.
breaking wild horses In the presence
of the audience, and tying and brand
ing vicious long-horned cattle Just
driven In from the plains.
The primitive stage coaches and rel
ics of early pioneer days will all be
pressed Into service, and a tribe of
Indians will be camped in the public
park for the edification of the east
ern visitors.
The champion cowboy broncho bus
ter of the west will probably be
thrown from the wild stallion brought
In from the plains, which has never
known saddle or halter. He Is under
agreement to remain five minutes on
the horse's back, and if he Is thrown
he is expected to remount. He gets
his $1000 if he comes out of the con
test with the savage stallion alive.

High Prices Will Greatly . Curtail
the Wool Output For First Time
In History of Montana Lambs Were
Sold Before Birth,
Lowiston, Mont., April 27. The
wool market opened this week, when
one Boston house contracted for 600,
000 pounds of wool at an advance of
2 cents over the prices that prevailed
a year ago for the same grower's cdlp.
Whether the advance will be main
tained after shearing remains to be
seen, the wool produced being espec
ially desirable.
Yearlings are selling here at from
$4 to $4.25, while 3-year-olds bring
from $4.75 to $6.
So many sheep have been sold dur
ing the past month that the output of
this county, the biggest wool growing
section of the state, will be reduced
considerably as compared with last
year, but with prices so high the flock
masters can hardly refuse to sell, es
pecially as the new lamb crop will
come In next month.
For the first time In the history of
the Industry In this state lambs arc
now being contracted for here before
they are born, those of the highest
grade bands bringing $2.50, and the
buyers are considered authorities In
the sheep business.

REGULATIONS
Governing the Shipment of
Oregon Sheep This Year,
Bought for Montana.
THIS IS THE JUDGMENT OF
SUPERVISING INSPECTOR.
Comes to Eastern Oregon at tlie Re
quest of Montana Buyers of Sheep
Conditions Will Not Now Permit
Any Relaxation of the Regular
Quarantine Rules Idaho the Only
Slate West of the Mississippi From
Wlilch Sheep May Be Shipped With
out Dipping Hlckok and Ramsey
to Walla Walla.
That scab among the sheep of
eastern Oregon is now more prevalent
than it was last year, Is the conclu
sion of R. A. Ramsay, supervising in
spector of the United States bureau of
animal Industry, who has been her '
for several days past investigating
conditions.
Mr. Ramsay came here from Mon
tana to look over the general condi
tions, and especially regarding the
scab. His visit was made at the In
stance of Montana men who buy sheep
here and ship to the ranges In that
state. Under present regulations the
shipment of such sheep is a difficult
matter, and the buyers were in hopes
the quarantine regulations could be
relaxed somewhat.
However, Mr. Ramsay says reports
received upon the subject from ths
federal deputies, county stock inspect
ors and from sheepmen themselves all
Indicate that the situation Is even
worse -than It was last year. Conse
quently the request of the Montana
men cannot be granted.
At present Idaho Is the only stater
west Of the Mississippi from which
sheep may be shipped without dip
ping. This Is due to the fact that the
men of that state have taken such
measures that they have nearly blot
ted out the scab. However, the feder
al quarantine Is still In force there,
and all sheep must be inspected be--fore
shipment, though the dipping Is
not required as In the other states.
G. 8. Hlckok Is Here.
George S. Hlckok, chief of ths"
western division of the bureau of ank
mal Industry, has also been In the city
today, and he and Mr. Ramsay have
been In consultation regarding their
work. Mr. Hlckok's headquarters are
In Salt Lake, and he will leave this
evening for Walla Walla to attend the
woolgrowers' convention, which ts to
be held there tomorrow. , -f
WOMAN WHO CROSSED AFRICA.
English Woman With Nerve and Pro
pensity to Travel.
London. April 27. Miss Mary Hall,
who has Just arrived here, Is the only
woman who has made the complete
journey from one end of Africa to
the other. She started at Chlnde, on
the coast of Portuguese East Africa,
In June of last year and reached Cairo
about six weeks ago. She had previ
ously Journeyed from the Cape to Vic
toria Falls. During the whole of this
nine months' Journey she had a guard
of only 30 negroes.
For weeks at a time she saw no
white men and had to subsist on Jam,
rice, corn-flour, porridge and cocoa.
She crossed districts where no white
woman and only two white men had
ever traveled. She was carried in
hammock by reliefs of four and for
two weeks traveled up rivers In row
boats, camping out on the banks at
night. Often on pitching camp she
heard Hons and hippopotami air
around her and she made her guarda
build fires around her tent. Only
once, when near the border of Get
man Southwest Africa, did she have
trouble with the natives and that only
on account of the high-handed action
of two German soldiers who had
been detailed as her escort.
