Says Dr. Lytic Lambs for S1.80 Per Head 30.000 Ewes for 587,000. In the extreme southeastern part of the state and in Nevada sheep do not bring the good prices that are paid here. Dr. Lytle, who returned yesterday from that section, says that recently 20.000 head of lambs were sold for Jl 80. while 30,000 old ewes were sold In one lot for the sum of IS7.000. The sheep were small merinos and were owned by a sheep man named Yates. A ranch deal of no slight conse quence, was made in that section not long ago. It was the sale of the big "Spanish Ranch, formerly owned by the Altuba brothers, who are Span iards. The ranch Is 70 miles square and It sold for a million dollars. The big ranch Is used for running h" p. cattle and horses. At the present time 20.000 head of sheep are being run upon the range, 20,005 hfd of cattle and 10,000 head of horses. "To Hell With the Law." It will soon be determined whether it Is a ca?o of to hell with th law or 20 days In Jail for those whose con tempt for the law Is proverbial. It Is gi-m-rally known that the local op tion law is being shamefully violated In I'endleton, Kchn and Pilot Rock. The conditions may be exaggerated, but whi-re there is so much smoke thre must be som fire. It Is said that boys of tender ai?e can go Into many drug stores of the county and buy whiskey and that many of the rear beer Joints have become o em boldened that whiskey Is sold over the bar by the drink without fear of detection or prosecution and that private gambling rooms are being conducted as of yore by those who .Y.inkly confess their inability to .aake au honest living. Of course it requires labor, muscular effort direct ed to some useful endt to make an honest living, but this is what the liquor truffle and its attendent evils discourages. If reports be true, and they seem to be well founded, there will be something doing after the grand Jury meets. To those who have been say ing. "to hell with the law," It might be well to call their attention to the f i?t that where two cases against tin individual who has been making u rractice of violating the local opt'on law Is proven it means a Jail sentence. The court has no discretion In the matter when the second o'fetisn is committed, but Is compelled unr'cr i he law to commit to Jail for at 'ast 10 days. A few heavy sentences by the court will not only be productive of a wholesome respect for the law-, but It will at once and for all settle what now seems a mooted ciue.-tion, :amey, Is the sentiment of the peo ple In favor or against the enforce- mt nt of the local option law . Py a majority of 700 the saloon was voted cut of business In this county, but it.s enforcement depends upon the efforts of the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff of this county. There are very few who doubt the sincerity of the prosecuting attorney, but unless the sheriff Is willing to do his duly It may be expected that the law will continue to be violated. Rut this will simply delay, and not defeat the v.iil of the majority. More effective than all other forces combined In the crys tallization of anti-saloon sentiment Is vldence on all sides of disposition to shamefully disregard the law. It will greatly strengthen the local op tion vote and the official who fa'U to do his duty will have to look to the minority for support at the nxt diction. Pilot Rock Record.

TIMIiEU TAX FIGHT. Klanialh County to G After Tlm brr IntereXs. Klamath Kails. Ore., Sept. 9. The county court of Klamath county for several days considered the matter of a compromise in the Hunter Land company tax case, which has been In litigation for some time. The Hunter company owns about 60,000 acres of timber In this county, which was orrginally a portion of the military road grant, extending across the southern portion of Oregon. The lands of this company were assessed without a cruise being made, the as sessor using his Judgment in fixing the value of the timber owned by the company. The total tax for the year 1907 amounted to .", 047.33, but the corporation refused to pay, making the claim that the tax was excessive and unjust. Instead of paying the full amount the sheriff was tendered $1120, which he accepted, and gave a receipt for partial payment. No other payment was made and In accordance with the law the lands were advertised to be sold under the hammer. The date of tlie sale was set for February 2S, but a few days be fore the company secured a restrain ing order and the sheriff was enjoin ed from making the sale. There were no further developments until the past week, when a representative of the company appeared before the county court and made a number of propositions to effect a compromise. Instead of paying the county the cash they offered to turn in cruiser's estimates on their lands. Some of the lawyers that had been retained by the county ndvlsed a compromise, hut the district attorney and Judge Thomas Drake, also retained by the county, advised against such a pro. ccdure. Most of the lawyers In tne city aro Interested In the case, and ns the county has rejected all prop ositions a hard legal battle Is pend ing. Steps will be taken aj once to pro ceed to collect the taxes, or else to sell the lands to satisfy the' county's claims.

House, formerly of the leading Congregational church of Portland and well known In Pendle ton, where he has preached and at tended Congregational conventions many times In the past, lias startled Spokane, where he Is now located, by announcing from his pulpit thnt he had received a communication by means of a spiritualist medium from Reno Hutchinson, the Y. M. C. A. leader who was mysteriously murder ed In Spokane last September. An Item from Spokane gives Dr. House's story as follows: Rev. Dr. Edwin L. House, pastor of Westminster Congregational church of Spokane, created a sensation In the course of a sermon In describing a spirit conversation with Reno Hutch inson, secretary of the Young Men's Christian association of Spokane, who war mysteriously murdered In the residential d'strlct while on his way home one evening In September. The words were transmitted through a medium, who declared that the spirit of her dead brother was the means of Introducing her to the ghost of the murdered man and assisted her In receiving messages from the other world. Among t' e statements at tributed to Hutch nson's spirit are the following: "I do not know who was my mur derer. "I am busy here with religious w6rk busier than on earth, but alU to do more good than In my body. "My message to the men of Spo kane Is: Be more earnest than ever In Chrlstlar) work and open more of your homes to homeless young men. "If my family were to be told that my spirit had come back to earth and was communicating with friends they would be skeptical. I am perfectly happy and I am watching my family and know they are happy." Dr. House said that while the con versatlon was not entirely satisfactory he does not believe the medium acted with any Intention of fraud. He has known her for years and says she Is a woman of refinement and that her family Is one of the oldest and best known In the northwest.
