Mrs. Baiter is goingout to Joseph to see about placing her daughter in school for the winter. Outside Sheep. Complaints are being made that Lsheep from Umatilla are being brought in large numbers tojjthe ranges of Union county. These bands devas tate the hills and take from the peo ple of the county the pasture that they feel by right belongs to them. Some steps should be taken to stop this practice in the future. It outside 6heep are to take the grass of the Union county hills, they should at least pay taxes in Union county. Union Republican. J The Forest Fires. A property loss which will reach into the millions and lives given up to the number of two score or more is a brief summary of the ravages of the forest fires about Portland and in Southern Washington. And even this death list may run much higher for a hundred or more are missing in the Lewis river district alone. Mills, villages, farm houses and valuable timber lands have been burned within the past week and only the prompt relief sent out from Portland and sur rounding towns has saved many from starvation.

The band wns drivei through from Wallowa to CornUcopii nod thence along the head of hi; Creek to the Powder river valley. LaGrande Chronicle. A Letter. Winlock Whei-ler Co., Oregon. Sept. 15th, 1902. Dear Chieftain: Since I left Wal lowa county I have not had the pleas ure of reading the Chieftain nor have I beard from there since I left about the middle of August. I arrived here together with my aon, Wm. C. Akin and also Eddy Akin and family; We had a very dmty trip and we found all our friends in good health and pros pering. Crops of all kinds are very fair. Fruit plenty and of excellent quality. The settlors here are greatly in need of mills, sawmills especially. A sawmill immediately in this vicinity would-be a paying investment. The timber here is plenty and of excellent quality and thousands of water. The settlers here are as a wholo able to pay cash for what they need. Will the Chieftain please 6end us a millman. The rj was a serious accident at a threshing machine a few days ago near here. It seems the table gave way and the tender fell head foremost at the mouth of the machine running his left arm into the cylinder which tore off his hand above the wrist and broke the bones still above. Two doc tors were called and amputated his acm but the man kept sinking and died forty-eight hours later. Wm. C. Akin was feeding and kept him from being drawn into the machine. This young man has left an aged mother who will mourn his loss greatly. His name was Edurd Mote, an excellent young man. Stock of all kinds are looking fino in this country. But the very dry hot weather is telling seriously on stock now as the feed is virtually gone. The growing of alfalfa and stocking llio fields with hogs is paying very well us they are quoted at a very fair price. C. Akin.
