WINTER DAWN.
A ridge of dark dismantled trees ; below
A ruined wall and yellow bands of
dawn'
Gray-blue the sky, from whence all
stars are gone
Save one, that, like a forgotten can
dle, burns
Left for some soul that nevermore
returns
And finds no track across the waste of
snow.
GOOD GRADES.
While there may be a difference
nf opinion as to whether the aver-
ige fanner should raise pure bred
tock, there is no doubt about the
ood sense of sticking at J east to
the good graded animals. There
are cases where it would hardly
pay a farmer to stick exclusively
to pure bred stock. In the major
ity of cases it might not prove
profitable, but by constantly grad
ing up the hei d or flock by the use
if pure ' sires, you come as near
pure bred animals as tne , condi
tions in most cases wrrant. This
is a policy that no one can neglect
or contradict. If a man Bticks to
it, he is bound to have Btock that
will id evpry respect meet the "de
mands of the day.

of 600,000 bushels announced later had
been pretty well discounted. On the
bulge the demand. fell eff, and offering,
which early had been rather light, in

cognizance of the heavy movement, and
the market slumped to 77c. Here it

end of the session dropped to 77J'8C
The close was weak, May c lower,

WATCH THE KAFFIR8.
While Briton and Boer are
fieroely fighting, people have for
gotten about the ; thousands of
KaffirB, who live in' the- disputed
rpgiOD and who form a Btanding
menace to both the conflicting
peoples. The Kaffirs, being only
partially civilized ' native Africans,
live in the Transvaal in great num
bers, raising. , sheep ' and goats.
Their life is free, but their prop
erty rights are respected.- The
conditions in the Transvaal Are
getting into such shape that sooner
or later the fighting armies must
resort to the Kamr UockS for food.
Both armies are living on the
country, and it is only a question
of a short time when the visible
supply will have become exhaust
ed. As soon . as inroads are in
augurated upon the Kaffir flocks,
woe be to the offending , army.
fhe natives will raise in arms and
slay indiscriminately. Their
hordes will sweep down on both
sides, and the Boers and British
will become their common enemy,
The confiscation of a few goats
may cause all the trouble. When
it comes, look for some sensational
developments. The Boers and
British may have their hands full,
and may be obliged to discontinue
their own war and join forces
against the Kaffirs. It may cause
the final solution of the Boer,
British war.
GUS SMITH NOT DEAD.
The good news has reached Heppner
that Gu8 Smith is still alive,- and will
again greet his Eastern Oregon friends,
in the near future.
Mr. Smith is a very enterprising man.
He owns large stock, mining and ranch
interests near Susanville and on the
main John -Day, a'so a tea ranch in
India,' and mines in South Africa.
About 15 years ago he bought Hugh
McQuaid's mines on Elk creek and the
whole townsite of Susanville.
It was recently reported that Mr.
Smith had been killed while fighting
Boers in South Africa, but now the
good news comes that be Is alive ana
well and on his way back to England.
The report of bis death grew out of
the fact that while in action, during a
charge on the burghers, his horse fell,
badly injuring one of his ankles, which
has fully recovered and aside from that
t rival accident he escaped unharmed.
Afters short visit in England he will
come on to his home ranch above
Susanville, and everybody will be glad
to see him.
AH YOW VS. ED TURK.
Last Friday Ed Turk, formerly a well
known resident of Cottonwood, this
county, but now of Sumpter, was arrest
ed and brought to this city by Sheriff
Laurance on a charge of embezzling the
sum of $2575.84 from Ah Yow, a China
man who was a former partner of Mr
Turk's in the sheep business.
At the last session of the circuit court
this county, Ah Yow obtained a
judgment against Mr. Turk for the
above numed sum, which judgment has
not been settled, and a criminal charge
was brought by the judgment creditor.
Judgs Rulison, before whom Mr. Turk
was brought, placed his bonds at $1C00,
which be save and returned on the
Btage the same day to bis home at
Sumpter' Eagle.
THE SKEETER.
The U. S. government has for'
mally reooguized the responsibib
ity of the mosquito for the trans.
mission of yellow fever and
malarial diseases, in an order by
General Wood at Havana, directed
to post commanders. The troops
are enjoined to use mosquito-bars
in all the barracks, hospitals, and
field service whenever practicable.
To destroy the "wigglers,'' or
youDg mosquitoes, by the use of
petroleum on the water where they
breed. Permanent pools are to be
filled up. To the others is to be
applied one ounce of kerosene to
each 15 square feet of water twice
a month, which will destroy; not
only the young but the old mos-
quitos.

TWAIN'S TALK.

"I have just seen your dispatch
about gold in solution in Galistoga
pnngs, and about the proprietor
Having extracted iplbUU in gold 01
the utmost fineness from two bar
rels of water during the past fort
night, by a process known only to
himself.
"This will surprise many of your
readers, but it does not surprise
me, for I once owned these springs
myself. What does surprise me
however, is the falling off in rich
ness of the water. In my ' time
tbe yield was a dollar a dipperfol.
am not saying this to injure the
property in case a sale is contem
plated. I am saying it in the in
terest of history. It may be that
this hotel proprietor's - process is
an inferior one. Yes; that may be
the fault. Mine was to take my
ancle (I had an extra at that time
on account of his parents dying
and leaving him on my hands) and
nil him up and let him stand . 15
minutes, to give the water a chance
to settle. Well, then I inserted him
in an exhausted receiver, wnicu
had tbe effect of suoking gold out
through his pores. I have taken
more than $11,000 out of that old
man in a day and a half.
"I should have held on to those
Bprings, but tor the badness or tne
roads and the difficulty of getting
the gold to market. 1 consider
that the gold-yielding water is in
mafjy respects remarkable, and yet
no more remarkable than the gold-
bearing air of Catgut Canyon, up
there toward tbe head of the aurif
erous range. This air, or - this
wind, for it is a kind of trade wind
which blowB steadily down through
600 miles of the richest quartz
croppings during an hour and a
quarter every day, except StmdayB,
is heavily charged with exquisitely
fine, impalpable gold.
".Nothing preoipitates and solid
ifies this gold so rapidly as contact
with human flesh heated by pas
sion. The time that William Abra
hams was disappointed in love he
used to sit out doors when that
wind was blowing, and come in
again and begin to sigh, and I
would extract over a dollar and a
half out of every sigh. " He sighed
right along, and the time that John
Harbinson and Aleck IN or ton quar
reled about Harbiiison's dog, they
stood there swearing at each other;
and they knew how, and what they
did not know about swearing they
couldn't learn from you and me,
not by a good deal; and at the end
of every three or four minutes they
had to stop and declare a dividend.
If they didn't their jaws would
clog up so they couldn't get big
nine-syllable ones out at all; and
when the wind was done blowing
they cleaned up just a little over
$1600 apiece. I know these facts
to be absolutely true, because I got
them from a man whose mother I
knew personally."

WOOL.
The situation in New York - is
thus set forth by the New X ork
Journal of Commerce:
The market, contrary to the ex
pectations of a good many, re
mains very quiet, and the inquiry,
which was expected to develop
with the openiug of the new year,
has not been forthcoming. There
seems to be a feeling in the trade
that a change is not far distant.
While manufacturers continue to
refrain from entering the market,
it is believed that as soon as heavy
weights are generally opened, , it
will be necessary for a large num
ber to enter the market . Dealers
are united in the opinion that the
stocks in the manufacturers' hands
have not been lower in a number
of years. The purchases that
have been made during the last
season have been of a band-to
mouth order there has been no
incentive to speculate, and the re
sult ia that supplies have been re
duced below the normal
A good deal is thought to de
pend upon the opening prices of
tbe next season's heavy weights.
Should there be a considerable re
duction from last year's figures.
the wool market, it is expected.
would show considerable softening,
while if, as reported, last year's
level is maintained there is likely
to be a general tendency toward
increased prices in tbe raw mater
ial market.
