WILD CREATURES TAMED.
On the Frenoh-Glenn ranches in
Harney couDty, deer and elk that
were formerly wild have become
tame and roam at will among the
stock, and among the hay makers
in hay mowing season. They come
up like cattle among the men. As
the long list of mowers drawn by
teams cut the hay down in rows,
these deer and elk caper back and
forth and smell tin new mown hay
and follow the men. This has been
brought about by a rule of the
ranchers that prohibits the dis
charge of firearms and makes it a
heavy penalty to kill or maim any
of the wild or domesticated ani
mals. ' The deer and elk have be
come tamer, and finally realizing
that there was no danger, have
psactically become domesticated.
They are a little "leary" of the
stranger at first, but soon become
acquainted and confident , There
are as many as 200 deer in some of
these herds. In winter when the
snow is heavy on the ground these
deer go into the foothills on the
company's property and feed on
the tender grass until the pnow
leaves the valley. Tiy are very
careful with their young. When
in the hay fields in the spring they
will leave dozens of their fawns in
charge of one doe in some copse of
timber or in the high grass and go
browsing, but in case of disturb,
ance they go to the rescue of the
young with a lightning speed and
fire in their sparkling eyes.

COMING TINTS.
"The coming, tints for fall and
winter,'? writes Emma M. Hooper,
in the September Ladies' Home
Journal, "are wood and castor
browns, rich tans with a touch of
a brownish cast, soft, medium and
light grays, navy . blue oE a bright
shade, dull old rose, cream, ivory
white, turquoise, vivid and pale
pink, pinkish lavender, clear violet
but not bluish violet. These
will be the fashionable colors this
Heason. .black fabrics will be mod-1
ish and popular, and combined
with white will be much in evi
dence this autumn. The very light
pastel tints will form demi-evening
and visiting gowns, and in panne
and cut velvet these tones will
prove exquisite for accessories and
trimmings. The general effect in
materials this autumn will be light
for smooth goods and medium for
the rough fabrics. Everything
points to a season of cloth again
for dressy Bints and entire gowns
intended for elaborate occasions
where a silk one would formerly
have been seen."
A MISTAKE.-PERHAPB,
The proceedings of tbe next
legislature will probably show that
there is a mistake in the following
item:
The Granite Gem says:
The Baker City papers have re
cently been publishing considerable
baseless talk about tbe people of
uranite being desirous of having
this portion of Grant county an
nexed to Baker county. This an.
nexation goBsip is entirely gratui
tous on the part of the Baker City
papers, as no such, sentiment is
found to exist here.
While the people of Granite are
considerably inconvenienced by
the distance to the county seat at
Canyon City and would prefer a
oounty seat nearer home they are
not yet ready to ask for a revision
of the counties. The time may
come when the mining men and
miners of this district will want to
create a mining county out of por.
tions of Grant and Baker, but that
time has not yet arrived. As a
matter of fact tbe time is not yet
ripe for making changes in county
lines in this neck of the woods, and
it is safe to say that no effort in
that direction will be made at the
forthcoming session of the state
legislature. '

Does
10 lE
king Powder
Contain
Alum ?
Prof, Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: "All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced t,o all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in . the process of digestion. I re
gard the use of alum as. highly injurious."
Dr. Alonzo Clark : " A substance ( alum )
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder." ' ; '
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist:. "I believe, it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles."
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: "I
regard their ( alum and soluble alumina salts )
introduction into baking powders as most dan
gerous to health."
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.

FASHION'S FANCIES.
Almost all of the very newest
things in girls' wear are old friends
with new trappings. The hair
is worn lower on the head, and not
so much a la Pompadour. Some
where at the sides there is a de
cided tendency toward a part.
Many little curling locks are dili
gently cultivated, and curls in the
back falling to the neck are once
more to be worn.
The collars of gowns are to be
lower, a fashion which can readily
be adopted with audacious confi
dence by the young.
Tbe newest models of stocks to
be worn with shirt-waists are es
pecially pretty, and made moBtly
of silk and. very sheer muslin. The
collar is made of silk, sometimes
into a crush affair finished with a
very narrow, clerically shaped
muslin collar with fine drawn
work edge. ,
Many shirt-waists are being
made with collars of the same
materia the Bmall turnovers be
ing of a contrasting color.
Costumes in solid colors are the
novelties of the hour everything
to match a rather expensive fash
ion, but always a desirable one
and inducative often of the well
dressed woman. Tbe plain tulle
and net veils sans dots, sans
borders, but junt a suspicion of a
fairy's web, to keep those sundry
love locks in their rightful places
are affected. A second veil of
chiffon brown, beige, blue or
green is worn over the veil of
tulle or net
The hats are composite produc

will describe them. September

McCLURE'8 MAGAZINE.
The September McClure's Mag
azine contains, among several arti
cles, the concluding paper of Lieut.
Commander Gillmore's A Prisoner
Among Filipinos. The author de
scribes in detail the mnans by
which be dissuaded a Filipino
general from executing the entire
party, the way in which the illness
of Tagal officer prevented the
slaughter of his prisoners, how a
Filipino lieutenant on seeing a
crucifix disobeyed orders and
thereby enabled them to escape
being put to death, and how the
band was at last rescued by Amer
ican troops from bloodthirsty
armed savages. The narrative
reads like a page from Itobioson
Crusoe. The illustrations by V.
