"SPANISH" RANCH SOLD
FOR MU.LIOX DOLLARS
Sheep in Southeastern Oregon Do Xot
Drlnff a Illph Prices As In This
Section. 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.
SPOKANE MINISTER STAR
TLES HIS HEARERS
('omrivgntlonal Minister Well Known
In Pendleton Declares From Ills
Pulpit Thnt Ho Received a Spirit
Messnno front Murdered Y. M. C.
A. Leader Interest Is Added Re
eniie Dr. House Is Xot a Spiritual
1st. lint u OonKrcirntlotrnll.
Rev. E. L. 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.

Nine Persons and Entire Singe Held
on Edw of Cliff.
Chlen, Cal., Sept. 9 Nine persons
were hurt, but all were saved from
death by the heroic action of Dan
Jones, the driver, when the Richard
son springs stage coach turned over
on a steep grade today.
The accident was caused by a
wheel becoming detached from the
axle. The stage suddenly lurched
and was toppling over when Jones,
with lighting activity, Jumped from
his 'seat nnd put his sholder under
the axle.
In this manner he supported the
stage until the most dangerous part
of the precipice had been passed, hut
no sooner was the Immediate danger
of death to all In the coach overcome,
thnn he collapsed and the coach went
over.
Jones was badly crushed under one
of the horses, and vhlle the extent of
his Injuries Is not known, yet It Is
feared he may not Recover from the
terrific strain.
Tho passengers In the coach were
badly shaken up and thrown about,
all receiving severe bruises.
The whole accident, with tho he
role work of the driver, took but a
few seconds. Reports received here
say that the wheel slipped off at n
place where there would have been
little hope for anyone In the coach If
Jones had not met the emergency.
