BOYS ACQUITTED.
The interest of the community
was centered in the case of the
State vs. Jud Hart, Johnie Mor
gan and Joe Cresswell, the sixteen-year-old
boys, tried at this km of
circuit court, who were indicted
by the grand jury for horsesteal
ing. Arrainged in court, the trial
began and available witnesses ex
amined, proving clearly that the
boys were amenable to the law.
Then the judge called each youth
to the stand, questioning him as to
the motives prompting his reck
lessness. Concluding the examin
ation of the bovs several promi
nent business men, besides the
parents of the boys, were ques
tioned as to the general character
of these boys, and fortunate for
them was the testimony of these
men, as to their general good be
havior. Weighiug the evidence
carefully, the considerate judge
called the young men to their feet,
and proceeded to administer advice
to them in a quiet yet impressive
manner that uot only held their
serious attention, but at its con
clusion not a man in the court
room failed to feel the purport of
his remarks, when he announced
his intention to give the boys an
other chance without subjecting
them to the everlasting brand of a
criminal, he won the heart-felt
approbation of the couit room,
and the boys dismissed left the
court room, doubtless with a feel
ing that Judge Lowell is responsi
ble for their future career as
straightforward, upright citizens.
Ex-Congressman Ellis returns
to the practice of law with the
same ability credited to him pre
vious to bis election to office, judg
ing from the successful defense of
every case entrusted to himself and
Attorney Phelps before the circuit
court the past week.
The poBt office department
wishes old glory to fly from the
top of every post office in Porto
llico, and having no fund from
which the flags could be bought,
asked the war department if it
could not supply them. Aotiog
Secretary Meiklejohn was com
pelled, much to his regret, to an
swer that it could not legally do
bo. But, Ferry Heath, AbsL P.
M. G., who is pushing along the
movement of the flags, says the
Porto Rican post offioes shall have
them if he has to solicit private
subscription of the money to buy
them. Flags for the school houses
in Porto Rico were contributed by
the New York G. A. II.
Hon. M. 8. Tayloii, of Ohio,
who has been closely allied with
President MoKinley in political
matters in that state, and who is
United States Counsul at Glasgow,
Scotland, is in this oountry on a
short vacation, and will attend the
Ohio republican convention, al
though he says be will not take an
active part therein. In a verbal
report to the department of state,
Mr. Taylor said: "The war with
Spaiu was of great benefit to the
Unitud Stated, considering the ad
vertising given us in tho world.
Among the ordinary classes in
Europe there were not many who
had any appreciation of our size,
power or commercial importance.
The truth is, they had not given
us much thought. But now every
person abroad is talking about the
victorious nation and giving it
some study and examination. In
my judgement, it will not be a
great while before this will have a
wholosom effect upon our trade,
and give us markets where our
goods have not heretofore been
aduiittod."

Editor Patterson, of Long Creek, Speaks of
Livestock Interests.
East Oregonlan.
Orin L. Patterson, tbe editor and pro
prietor of tbe Bine Moon tain Eagle, of
Long Creek, talked thus today on tba
subjeot of tbe oondltion of tbe livestock
interests of Grant oouDty:
"At tbe present time livestock in onr
oouoty is in good condition and every
thing looks favorable for tbe men who
are engaged in tbat industry. Htook
looks well, and tbe range appears to be
in floe oondition, as fine as at any time
previously to my knowledge.
"Daring tbe past winter, however,
things looked rather dubious for a time,
and once it seemed likely that tbe live
stock interests would suffer irreparable
loss. It was snob a winter as perhaps
was never before seen there. Absolute
ly all tbe feed was consumed by tbe live
etook and the owners resorted te ex
treme measures to keep their bands alive
until the spriog should bring tbe fresh
grasses for tbe almost famished cattle
and sheep. First; all the old bay wee
fed out, and then the new bay went, until
there was not a ton of hay tbat could be
bought in all tbe couatry. Tbe hay was
not there, and one might safely offer any
price with the assnranoe that no one
would take np the offer. When tbe bay
was exhausted, people fed anything tbat
could be fonnd, and it was surprising
bow long tbe stook could be kept alive
after every ton of food, apparently, bad
been consumed. Imagine the stockmen
using flour and other millstuffa tbat
oommonly are need only for feeding
human beings, and then, when tbia waa
all gone, even emptying their bed ticks,
and feeding straw that, in some instances,
had been used in tbat manner for months
of even years. One would think stock
would refuse to eat snob old straw, and
of course, ordinarily they would. Bnt,
with nothing else, tbey ate it, and it
kept them alive until the snows went
away and grass oame on the bills of
Grant county, when all tbe troubles of
tbe Grant county livestock breeders
were over, and things assumed a brighter
aspect.
"As a matter of faot, tbe limit bad
been reached. Stockmen could not have
gotten along very many more weeks, or
even very many more days, for the soon
try was stripped bare and an even weight
in gold oould not have procured bay or
grain, sinoe it was all oonsnmed, and we
were an hundred miles from any rail
road, and tbe intervening mountain
ranges made it impossible to haul food
in or drive oat the stook. Oommonly.
our section of oountry is the most pros
perous in tba North Pacific region, and
we are not now oomplaining, for we oama
through the winter all right, and are
now over all our troubles. Our losses of
sheep, in my opinion, did not exoeed 10
per oent, whioh is but a few per cent
more than normal losses sustained every
winter, and in cattle tbe loss oertainly
did not run higher than 7 per oent. It
was but a trifle above tbe loss of other
winters.
"The experience merely demonstrated
that the stockmen have beoome fore
banded and nowadays prepare against
snob contingencies as extra long winters
and abnormally cold weather."
Mr. Patterson tells about one precinot
In Grant oounty in whioh there are only
20 votes cast at any election, and yet in
tbat preoinot there are owned over 2,600,
probably 3,000 bead of oattle. besides the
sheep and horses, tbe oattle alone repre
senting on present valuations an average
of 83,000 to tbe vote, while Ibe sheep
and horses will bring this np to consid
erably more. That tbe livestook interests
of suoh a region were in jeopardy meant
something, and tbat tbey came through
tbe unpreoedentedly long and aevere
winter with barely more than normal
loss is most fortunate.
Poatmie to be Iiednotd to One Cent.
Tbe enormous inoreass in tbe number
of letters carried in the TJ. 8. mails
makes it oertaln that tbe rate of postsge
must eventually be reduced to oos cent
an ouooe. Tbe president who succeeds
in getting such a measure through con
greas will bold a high plaoe io the eeteem
of the people, but no higher than tbe
esteem in wbiob everybody holds Hos
teller's Stomaob Bitters, This medicine
holds an unequalled reoord io reducing
the sickness of mankind. It gets at tbe
starting point of disease by aoting npon
tbe stomaob direct, helping tbat import
ant organ in ita duty of digesting food
It makes good appetites, allays nervous
ness, stimulates tbe kidneys, and makes
run down man or woman feel like a new
person. Try it.
(June to the Races.
Jack Parker, the veteran race-horse
rider, left Tuesday morning for Lake
view to be in attendance at tba spring
raoes hsld there, between Jane 28 tb and
July 6tb. Purses have been liberally

make a good showing, and prove good
advertisement for Morrow oouoty.
