1W0 NIGHTS IN SAGE BRUSH
Baby, 19 Months Old Wanders Eight
Miles From Home.'
Unharmed after wandering eight
miles iuto the sage brush and spending
two nighta without food or shelter, a
19 months old boy, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrenoe of near Caldwell, Idaho,
was found Monday morning by a
searching party and safely returned to
the anxious parents. v
' The little fellow was missed from
home shortly after 6 o'clook Saturday
evening. Searob was begun and con
tinued all night Harold Hawthorn,
with bis horse, finally found the little
one eight miles east of its home. He
was searching in that direotiou with a
party, but others had turned baok, de
claring the child could not have travel
ed so far. However, he pushed on.
He found some haby tracks, but these
were soon lost Be kept on, leading
bis horse and selecting what seemed
tbe most probable route.
: After he had gone half a mile from
tbe point where bis companions both
left him, be heard a child's voioe say
ing, "pretty pony; baby ride pony."
Looking over tbe sagebrush Haw
thorn saw the little one standing there
unconcerned and reaoning out bis arms
to him. He picked it up and' hurried
to the top of tbe ridge, from which he
signalled.
; While the others galloped to notify
the parents, Hawthorn put the ohild
in his saddle and started baok. He
had a bottle of milk from which the
child partook ravenously until he took
it away. Tbe feet aud legs of the little
one were ecratobed, but it was other
wise none the worse for its experience.
THE MARCH OF THE GREEN BUG
Kansas Wheat Crop Good For Only
Eight Bushels per Acre.
Reports of damage to winter wheat
in Kansas formed the chief reason for
renewed streugtb in the Cbioago wheat
market. At the close wheat for
September delivery was l-2o higher.
Corn showed a net gaiu of 8 8o. Oats
were 3-4o higLer. . Provisions were up
a shade to 12 l-2o. ,
Advices from Kansas City were de
cidedly pessimistic, declaring that in
jury was caused by green bugs and
unfavorable weather. The new crop
will not rnu more tbau eight bushels
to tbe acre. Repoits from Oklahoma,
where threshing is already begun,
claimed tbat the yield in that state is
very disappointing, averaging from
three to five bushels per acre. These
advioes were supplemented by reports
from the spring wheat country tbat an
army of green bugs is advancing with
great rapidity through tbe wheat fields
of Minnesota and the Dakotas. This
news held the market strong almost all
day. A decrease of 3.500,000 bushels
in the world's visible supply as shown
by Bradstreet's was another bullish
influence. Trading was aotive all day.
, City Pumpiug Water. ,
Tbe oity of Athena is pumping water
into the reservoir. Tbe using of tbe
well water is but temporary, and is
necessary for the reason tbat the iu
take pipes at tbe head of tbe gravity
system have become clogged with soil
or else have been crushed. The crush
ing of tbe pipe, whiob is manufactur
ed of burnt clay, could result, from
weight of earth settling down in the
ditohes, after tbe pipe had beoome
porous and soft. A force of men 'tire
making repairs and the gravity system
will soon be in use again. Wednesday
but one foot of water remained in tbe
reservoir, aod pumping was, at once
resorted to. ' -

Bill SHEEP
Court Holds Government Regu
lations Are Sufficient.
OREGON LAW NOT QUESTIONED
Contention Over SpecialProvision
That Sheep From Other States
Be Sipped Three Times.-, '
Advioes from Walla Walla state
there is muob rejoioibg among tbe
members of the Wenaha Woolgrowers'
association there over the decision of
Jndga Wolverton granting them,tho
temporary restraining order asked for
in tbe federal court at Portland against
the enforcement of tbe ruins of the
Oregon sheep commission. The wel
come news was contained ' in a brief
dispatch sentby Attorney H. C Bry-
son, president of the association, who
had gone to Portland with Attorney
Oscar Cain to file other papers in the
case pending tbe decision. He wired
as, follows:" "Won both oases in the ,
federal court, the decision being prac
tically that compliance witb govern
ment regulations for interstate move
ment of sheep is sufficient."
At the last session of the Oregon
legislature a law was enacted provid
ing tbat all sheep witbin tbat state
should be dipped at least onceeaoh
year between April 1 and August 1,
with tome standard dip approved by
the state sheep commission for scab,
aud tbat after the year 1907 healthy
sheep in the state of Oregon shall not
be required to be dipped. It also pro
vides that if tbe weather is such as tov.
make the dipping unsafe Oregon sheep
need not be dipped.
But it was tbe sneoial uroviaion of
the act which makes it possible to ex-'
olude outside sheep tbat tbe Washing
ton sheepmen declared to be manifestly
unjust, as it provides: "If tbe state
sheep board so deolares all sheep from
other states shall be dipped' three
times." They contend tbat snob a re
quirement is not only unjust but would
amount to a practical exclusion of all
sheep from other states, as three dip
pings would entail such an expense as
to drive sheepmen outside ot Oregon
out of the business. . ,
The Washington sheopmen will now
proceed to drive their flocks to, tbe .
ranges to whiob tbey have boon, as
signed, but will prepare to comply
with the law, onoe iu tbe state, tbe
same as resident sheepmen of tbe state
of Oregon. Tbe Wenaha sheopmen
olaim tbat they have dipped their sheep
and had them inspected by a govern
ment inspector while iu tbe state of
Washington and that tbey are free ,
from scab and consequently there is
no occasion for further dipping, wbiob
would be both dangerous and expen
sive and would serve no good purpose.
Tbey propose to fight out the proposi
tion along these lines. But in tbe de
cision of Judge Wolverton it is only
tbe regulation of the Oregon sheep
commission that is questioned, while
the law and the proclamation of the
governor are upheld. . ,

Interest on Road Warrants. ,
, County Treasurer Bradley, annonno
es that owing to the faot that the road
fund bad all been exhausted, hereafter ,
be would register al warrants present
ed and tbat they would draw interest
at tbe i ate of six per ceut from date of
registration. At the Jane term of
court claims against tbe road fund,
amounting to more than $11,000 were
allowed and the warrants issued in
payment therefor soon exhausted tbe
supply of cash on hand. ' As there is
not very much money pouring into tho
treasury at this season of the year, it
will probably be several months before
many of the rood warrants are cashed
by the treasurer. .
