Like a romance of feudal barons who marked the boundaries of the domain by mountain chains and river channels, is the story of the land and cattle barons of Central Oregon, who have fenced up for their private use whole townships In the range districts of the state.

This Is the opinion of fishermen who have investigated the subject and given It intelligent thought. In Baker county Instances are cited where water has been shut off from a ditch and thousands of trout have been left high and dry to rot on top of the ground. The larger the ditch the greater has been the slaughter. Moreover, if the ditches are never allowed to go dry, fish that once enter them from the river never get back again. There Is a law requiring the heads of irrigation ditches to be covered with a screen, and this law should be enforced. If it is enforced then the stocking of our Inland streams with fish will be doubly ef fective. ' G. II. Phillips of Chicago Visits Raker City Properties. Baker City, Aug. 18. "I have quit the board of trade forever," says George H. Phillips, at one time known throughout the world as the corn king, who cornered the Chicago mar ket and forced millionaires to their knees. Mr. Phillips has Just returned from his mine in the Granite dis trict. "I believe," said Mr. Phillips, "that the opportunity is greater in mining than in anything else today for a man to make honest money. It Is my in tention to enter the Oregon mining field to stay. "With me I have associated men of wealth who want to make more, and we will mine in the ground and not on paper. No fancy prospectus goes. We are going to contest with nature for the hidden wealth and have no stock for sale. If we win we will be pleased, and if we lose we have spent no one's money but our own. "It occure to me that the loss in mining Is no greater when compared with any other business If operators would only put the money they re ceived Into actual development." Mr. Phillips and party have inter ests at Shoshone, Idaho, and also at Goldfield. They consider their mines in Baker county good Investments. "When a yoiinsr Kirl'a thoughts be come sluggish ; when she has bead aches, dizziness, faintness. and ex hibits an abnormal disposition to sleep; dislikes the society of other girls ; then the mother should come to her aid promptly, for she pos sesses information of vital import ance to the young daughter. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and has helped to bring three generations safely from drl- hood to womanhood. Head what LYDIA E.

A most distressing accident occur red near town Tuesday evening when George Boydstun lost his life, says the Lake County Examiner. It seems he was haying, and In some way lost control of his team, which started to run, and threw him between them and the wagon, and one of the horses kicked him in the head. He was takn to his home, and given medical attention, but he only survived a few houds. A singular coincidence Is noted In the fact that about two years since he had a brother killed In a similar manner at Pasley. Both men, it seems were good horsemen, but had frequent runaways before meeting with their fatal accidents. IiohtxTs Got But Iilttlo. Sheriff Edwards returned from Toppenish last night, where he had gone to apprehend the postoffice safe robbers. If possible, and states that there is apparently no trace of the men who committed the burglary, says the Laklma Republic. "They blew the outside door of the safe clear across the room," said he today, "the force shattering the door of the room. The combination of the lock of the Inner safe door had also b(en blown, but the door Itself was not blown off. They took only $10 in coin and a gold bracelet valued nt $50, which was the property of Miss Mamie Stone, a daughter of Mrs. Mrs. George Swasey, and which was In a registered package. Although there were several other registered nackages. several dollars worth of stamps, and a lot of pennies around In the drawers, none of these were touched.
