on. 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.

ance of fences, and criminal suits to
prosecute the men responsible (for
the unlawful enclosure of 112,340

Ditchea Kill Fish.
More fish are probably destroyed
In irrigating ditches than are caught
by hook and line, says the Baker
City Democrat. 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

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

Farmer Kllli-d by Hi.s Team.
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.

today, "the force shattering the door
of the room. The combination of the
lock of the Inner safe door had also

not blown off. They took only $10

French Mendicants, established some
time ago, In Marseilles, arrived In
London oday to arrange for a con
vention of one-legged men at the
French-Brlttlsh exposition, says a
London dispatch. If well received by
the British one-legged men, he in
tends to bring a strong delegation of
his crippled countrymen. "I don't
want any humbugs," he said upon
his arrival In Dover, "but genuine,
hard-working, honest British pedlars

leg apiece. Think what a fine pic
turesque thing It would be to have a
parade of French and English one-
