MANY CATTLE L.QST.
Heavy Snow Storms Cai 1$ Loss
to StofkAJpfif
The severe snow storms of two
weeks ago have caused considerable
loss to cattlemen in a peculiar way.
All nlong the Deschutes river
above the lava bed n thin layer of
ice formed ovpr the river. The snow
fell on it and covered it up. This
entirley hid the river and the cattle,
attempting to cross on what they
supposed was solid ground, would
break through and pitch head first
into the river. That was the last
seen of those cattle.
John Ryan had men out watch
ing his stock, but siic head suc
ceeded in getting in the river.
They were gotten out, however, in
time to save them.
A Lively Runaway.
Last Sunday morning n team of
horses took a lively gait down
Wall street, causing quite a. ripple
of excitement on the Sabbath peace
and quietude tor a Tew minutes.
Jim Brceu had driven the horses
to town and left them stauding in
front of the Pilot Butte Inn. They
became frightened at something
unknown and started down the
street. At Caldwell & Satchwell's
store they straddled a telephone
pole and were going with such,
speed that they broke loose from
the wagon. The wagon was
turned completely around end for
end by the collision. The team
turned west down Ohio steet nt the
comer of the P. B. D. office, nud
were cnught after running a short
distance down the street.
The tongue of the wagon, the
singletree and the doubletrees
were broken, two spokes knocked
out of n wheel, and the harnesses
pretty well damaged.

A man aaid to another once, "Can you
rabe anything in this country." Well, I
Kuets ao, just try and see. A great
many wiiiik mat winter grain cannot be
grown here, but ye scribe's view and ex
JKricnce arc that it can just as well as
in other countries. We have all the ad
vantacca we want. We can sow it in the
dust, the raina of the fall will sprout it
ami me auoua 01 winter will blanket it,
and in the spring we can have some
thing that will make the moss roll off
the backs of some of these old croakers.
Did you ever see a man who tries to do
anything, thnt was all the while fritting
on a box whittling or riding from place
to place? Well, 1 never did. The first
thing, one must clear his laud and then
put it in good ahape. and if he doesn't
want to irrigate it, it can be seeded, in
uieiaii. iic must be sure to lence it,

mrc against stock after he hns put in
twylttitercs. Then start in und clear
another 25 ucres, follow the siimc
rule and don't get discouraged, You
can't do it in one day or week, but
months will tell. I would suggest for
tins country inn seeding, sow scotch
l'ife wheat about one bushel per acre.
Sow early so it wil root before the
ground freeies. Then in the spring
take 11 tooth harrow and scratch the
ground up; try to tear the grain all up,
