Heppner Sale.
The following from the Oregon
Dally Journal gives a summary of the
Heppner sale: j
Heppner, Ore., May 26. The re
sult of the wool sales here yesterday
was very satisfactory to all concerned. ,
Prices paid were as high as expected i
and out of the 30 clips offered for
sale only six were withheld on ac
count of the price.
About $00,000 pounds were sold,
210,000 pounds remaining In the
warehouses. '
Brlgham, buyer for Whitman,
Farnsworth & Thayer of Boston, was
the heaviest buyer. He got about
210,000 pounds, paying an average
price of 20 3-4 cents.
The Penland Lnnd & Livestock
company clip was the largest and
brought the highest price. They had
176,000 pounds which sold for 21 6-8
cents. It was bought by Brlgham.
Russell of The Dalles Scouring
mills bought 74,600 pounds at an av
erage price of 19 3-4 cents.
Kuhn of the Botany Worsted mills
of Passaic, N. J., bought 78,000
pounds at nn average of 18 1-8 cents.
Miners' Union's Rig Victory.
Chicago, May 28. The Illinois
mine operators withdrew from
the agreement with Indlnna
and Ohio operators, and will sign
the 1903 scale, It Is expected
that this will result In the In-
dlnna and Ohio opcrntors being
compelled soon to do the same
thing to save themselves In the
markets.
FINED FOR DYNAMITING FISH IN RIVER
Because he dynamited fish in the
Umatilla river above Bingham Springs
station, J. J. Troxall, of Weston, now
faces a 1200 fine and a 80-dny term
In the county Jail, The sentence,
which was Imposed this morning by
Judge Ellis after Troxall had pleaded
guilty, Is the minimum under the law.
However, It will be severe on the
prisoner, for being a poor man, he
cannot pay the $200 fine and so will
have to serve 100 days In Jail In lieu
of the same.
The arrest and conviction of Trox
all was due to the efforts of O. F.
Turner, deputy game warden, and he
Is the fifth man whom that official
has bagged for violation of the fish
and game laws.
Friday evening Mr. Turner received
Information from parties living near
Bingham Station that dynamiting had
been done there. Accordingly he
boarded the next freight train and
the next morning took up the search
for the culprit He was rewarded by
finding Troxall and his two boy with
Frank Lee of Hallowell, Jones &
Donald, i-OHton, bought 44,100 pounds
paying an average of 20 1-2 cents.
The next salesday was set for June
10, but will probably be changed to
a later date to allow more wool to ac
cumulate. According to those who attended
the Heppner sale the growers of that
county were better satisfied over the
prices they received than were the
Umatilla county men.

was not proposed until the meeting

a large number of fish In their pos
session. The circumstances showed
that the fish had been killed by dyna
mite, and on being charged with the
offense Troxall admitted his guilt. He
was brought to Pendleton by Deputy
Turner while the two sons were al
lowed to return home.
When arraigned In court this morn
ing Troxall made a plea of guilty, and
Judge ElHs at once Imposed sentence.
By the sportsmen the dynamiting
of fish Is looked upon as the most
heinous crime In the fish and game
code. In fact. It Is treated as such by
the law, for the penlty prescribed is
more severe than for any other of
fense. Among local anglers there Is
astonishment that a man should dy
namite for fish when they can be
caught so easily. As blasting Is an
Indiscriminate slaughter and drives
fish from the stream, all rejoice that
the recent arrest was made. However,
there Is regret, as Troxall la In such
circumstance that his Imprisonment
will be a hardship on his family.

fective In Oregon.
For several hours yesterday H. O.

Oregon, met with members of the lo'
eel Sportsmen's association, and the

fore the master warden. Among the

ing screens and fish ladders.

fish and game laws was discussed pro
and con. At present there is some
what of a conflict In the laws gov
erning the fish and game departments,
and It is desired to have changes
made that will better define the duties
of each office. At present) the mas

left entirely to the game warden and
his deputies.

discussion stated that If re-elected, he
would use his Influence to secure leg
islation desired by the Umatilla coun

FIND SEVEN INDICTMENTS AT HEPPNER
Otis McCarty, who shot John Con
nelly near Pine City, Morrow county,
two weeks ago, was exonerated from
any wrong doing by the grand Jury
which convened nt Heppner during
the recent court session. At the time
of the accident McCarty and two other
men were attempting to arrest Con
nelly, believing him to be Implicated
in the car burning at Foster. After
Connelly had refused to comply with
McCarty's third command to halt the
latter fired at him with a shotgun,
the wound proving fatal.
At the coroner's Inquest held over
the remains of Connelly the Jury ex

Oakland, May 28. The board of
underwriters of the Pacific coast,
which organization fixes the Insur
ance rates for the states of California,
Oregon, Nevada Montana, Idaho and
Utah, and the territories of Alaska '
and Arizona, has decided to Increase
the rates, and that 6000 Insurance
agents of the board companies in Cal ,
Ifornla will be notified of the raise.
The rules existing before the catas
trophe of April 18, under which a
board company Is allowed permission
In certain cases to meet the cut rate
made by a non-board company, have
been abrogated, and no board com
pany will, until further notice, be per- !
mltted to vary from the rates to be
fixed by the board of underwriters.
The matter of fixing Increases and
special rates for San Francisco has
been discussed by the board of und.f.,
writers, but thus far no schediViQ ha .
been adopted. The insurance men,
say that the crippled condition of the
San Francisco fire department and v
the Impairment of the water plant

Justifies them in raising rates on
new policies.
