There la now "something olng" In
the Washington-Oregon shsop con

ments may he expected wlflLln a few
days. But a few days agv'15 or 20
bands of Wanhlngtoh sheep were
brought acroBS the Oregsm line In
direct violation of the 'governor's
quarantine proclamation. ' By their
a-cticm the Washington men laid
themselves liable to a Una of from
mo -to. I1090 each. -
Now that Hhe sheep are 'across the
line nnd upon their summer range the
next -point of difficulty Is over their
dipping. 1'nder the law and1 the rules
of the sheep commission sheep so
Iwrportcd must be dipped' twice, and
an interval of from eight to 14 days

sheep, have them dipped and pay the
expense thereof from rheep which
he may sell from the band, of the

Since crossing the line the Wash

and H. C. Rrvaon, president of the

that "he will do so. Whether or not

If they Ho not thfc sheep will be

Should the seizure of some of the

AVrMI-.TfcCE ORDER HURTS.
Enforcement uf the Order Wm lPnt
Stockmen Out of Business.
Oeorge Voorhees, the well known
stockman and ranchman of Luak, Is
in the city to attend the consistory re
union and says that conditions 'in
eastern Oonvwae county have grown
serious as the iwgiiK of the removal
of fences under the orders of the gov
ernment, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
Mr. Voorhees state that this ac
tion will force fully ne-half of the
stockmen In that section out of busi
ness unless a satisfactory leasing law
Is passed so that the tock mon .can
be assured of sufficient range for
thnlr flock and herda.
The stockmen are not opposed to
a law safeguarding In every way tho
' rights of homesteaders, but believe
that the best Interests of all would
be subserved by a lei.se law which
will r'-rmlt the stockmen to remain
In business, (-tuck raising Is no long
er profitable If the herds must be
thrown onto the open range and
where Btockmen can not lease suffi
cient range for their stock they will
simply retire from business.
Mr. Voorhees states that the report
which has been sent out that the ma
jority of Converse county ranchmen
nnd stockmen are opposed to a lease
law, is untrue, as he says there Is no
question but that a leasing Inw Is
favored by a vast majority of the
stockmen and sheepmen as well.

DEVELOPED
CANNERY IS OVERWORKED.
Suleiu Institution Cunning 7uO
Quart I'cr Day.
Tke Sulem Journal says of the liew
cannery Just started there:
Wednesday about 7000 quart cans
of berries and cherries wore put up.
These cuns when ready for shipment
are packed two dozen In a case, and
Wednesday's "pack would make about
'300 cases. These cases are, In round
numbers, 18x14x10 Inches, and the
300 would make 440 cubic feet, or a
pile 10 feet square and four feet high.
Then the Salem side of It Is good
to contemplate. There Is the pay roll,
running, according to the season, from
$2500 to $S000 a month, and this not
countlirg salaries, but only the cash
passed out In wages, most of It to
girls, -who are happier from having
employment and certainly more self
reliant, Independent and cheerful from
having earned their own money.
Nor does the good work stop here;
the fruitgrower Is paid dally from
$450 to $1200 nnd even as much as
$1500 a day. A portion of this goes
out to pay for labor In growing and
picking and so It will be seen several
hundred people nre given employment
by this one establishment for the en
tire season which begins about June 1
and Continues until November, the
last part of the season being the can
ning of apples exclusively.
SEEKING ARTESIAN WATER.

Work was resumed Wednesday
morning at the artesian well being
bored at the 8. P. roundhouse In this
city,' se.ys the Roseburg Review. A
new supply of cosing has arrived, and
this la being put down to cut off the
flow of silt and otherwise mineral
ized water that was recently en
countered. As soon ns this Is In place the drill
ing will be resumed and the weir sunk
to at least a depth of 1000 feet, un
less the flow of fresh water la sooner
found. There Is some speculation as
to whether oil may not be found
here, as salt water Is often found
overlying an oil strata. In the eastern
oil fields. As no deep wells have
ever been put down here, of course
but little Is known of the deeper gee
logical formations, and It Is a mat
ter of the purest guess work to say
what may be found In this country.

Whether the Sherman county rain

It was stipulated In the rainmak

six Inches of rain between June 1
and August 1, within a radius of 60
miles from the site of his Valnmaklng
apparatus, and somebody, whether
the rainmaker or not, haa delivered a

Shaflcnbrrger, an ApKintee of Mc
Kfcflcy Recently Resigned After 10
Years' Service.
Washington, June 17i A postofflce
suandal that threatens to assume even
greater proportions than that which
involved Rathbone and his confeder
ates In Cuba several years ago, was
revealed late Saturday when It was
learned that a secret Investigation of
the office of the second assistant post
master general has been under way
for two months In which disclosures
have already been made to show losses
of millions of dollars to the govern
ment In mall contracts.
The Investigation began shortly
after W. S. Shallenberger was suc
ceeded by Congressman McCreary to
the position of second assistant post
master general and has been prose
cuted silently an 1 thoroughly by ex
pert postofflce Inspectors In every part
of ;hecountry.
Groso Mismanagement.
The conditions revealed by the in
vestigation show that gross misman
agement obtained In the handling and
placing of mall contracts under Shal-
lenberger's administration. In the
eastern states It was discovered that
In a comparatively small section the
government was losing $2,000,000 a
year to the railway companies for
handling government malls.
On the Pacific coast the discrepan
cies show even n greater mismanage
ment of railway mall affairs. Con
tracts that were given to bidders
whose bids were higher than other?
In numerous Instances.
Why these nwnrds were made when
the government could have received
as good- service for less money will
have to be explained to the satisfac
tion of the authorities.
Tear after year In Shallenberger's
res-lme contracts were made that
mulcted the government out of mil
lions of dollars. They were given to
the same parties nt the expiration of
the contracts despite the fact that
lower bids were offered by other per
sons when new contracts were made
by the department.
Although the Investigation has not
been completed and the full report of
the Inspectors has not been made,
enough is known to the authorities lo
astound them. Just what action will
be taken In regard to the subject has
not been decided upon nnd will not
be until the report has been complet
ed. At that time It Is probable tht
Postmaster General Cortelyou will
make a report to the president and
the report will then be laid before the
attorney general for further investi
gation. When Shallenberger resigned last
spring after 10 days' continuous ser
vice, much speculation was Indulged In
as to his real reasons for getting out.
He was appointed In the McKlnley ad
ministration and since that time has
had the handling of contracts involv
ing millions of dollars belonging to
the government. It Is alleged that
many contracts were made that were
contrary tothe rules of the depart
ment.
Friends say that Shallenhereer
probnbly awarded contracts to bidders
whose avtlmates were higher than
others because the government could
secure better service by so doing. The
reports of the Inspectors do not bear
this out, however, because they are
known to have come across contracts
where the service was even better at
lower bids than those on which awards
were made.
district In a most luxuriant manner.
While there Is general rejoicing
over the excellent rains of the past
week in Sherman county the people
do not know whether the rainmaker
actually produced the rain or wheth
er ho had studied conditions and car
ried on his experiments in an auspi
cious reason to get results with the
asstf tance of Jupiter Pluvtus.
About one-half of the six Inches
of rain has been delivered and if the
remainder comes by August 1 the
people will pay without a word, al
though the surrounding country may
1 be flooded with natural rain.
