CARE FOR SHEEP IN WINTER.
Timely Treatment of a Potent Sub
ject by Agricultural Paper.
Sheep Buffer less from low tem
perature than any other class of live
stock. . The yolk that is secreted from
the skin of the sheep for the nourish
ment of the wool and for the pre
vention of feeding in the fleece,
makes the skin of the sheep rather
Insensitive to cold. A sheep with an
excessively greasy coat, however, can
not withstand cold as well as one
with a more moderately oily fleece.
The wool on the sheep prevents the
escape of animal heat from the body
to soma extent, and these conditions
ot akin and fleece make It unneces
sary to house sheep warmly. In fact.
sheep do better in moderate cold than
when kept warm. Fattening sheep
will stand a considerable degree of
cold, says the Wisconsin Agricultur-
. . The bad effects of too great warmth
. arise as follows: The moisture ex
haled from the lungs of sheep con
fined in a close pen makes the fleeces
- damp and when sheep are turned out
' into the cold air they catch cold, re
sulting In catarrh or Influenza, gen
erally designated "snuffles" by the
shepherd. The sheep has a weak cir
culatory system and can not stand
i any inflammatory disorders, and so
speedily loses constitutional strength
and vigor. The presence of this mois
ture In rooms where animals are kept
may be easily seen in stone buildings
where It congeals on the walls. If
it Is not condensed and congealed on
the walls it goes into the fleeces of
the aheep. The natural desire for
sheep to be outside is a good guide
in respect to housing.
On the other hand, sheep should
not be exposed to storms or drench
ing rains. It takes additional food
to meet the expenditure of animal
heat occasioned by exposure. The
commonest argument in favor of pro
tection against extreme cold Is seen
in the increased appetites of animals
In cold weather. The combustion
necesary to furnish animal heat in
cold weather must be supported by an
Increase of fuel In the form of food
particularly of carbonaceous food.
Sheep In confinement should be given
as great freedom as possible, and no
close or overwarm housing; but they
should be protected against great ex
posure to cold wind or cold reins. To
thta end a shed should be provided
that la free from draughts and should
open on to a roomy yard on Its lee
side. When the weather la suitable
sheep should be fed outside as far as
possible, particularly with respect to
fodders, which engage a great) deal
of their time. Tards should likewise
be protected on their windward side.
The site of tha sheep ahed should
be high and dry, ao aa to prevent the
ground underfoot from becoming
damp. Sheep shed are not generally
cleaned during the season; but owing
to tha sheep being ted usually on
rough fodder, a great deal ot which
la uncomumed and trodden under
foot. It will absorb all moisture se
creted without fermenting, and the
shed will remain practically dry
throughout the season. While exer
cise and fresh air are at all time de
sirable, the shed should be so made
aa to be closed In cases of extreme
cold, and should be close enough In
the walls to be free from cross
draughts or any change of exposure.
WIRELESS IN CARRIBEAN SEA.
New Telegraph System Being Estab
lished in Central America.
Consul Drew Linard of Cetba, re
ports that tha rumor that a aeries of
wireless station Is to be erected at
several ports on the Carrlbean coast
has been confirmed, and adds:
The United Fruit company haa ne
gotiated with the De Forrest Wire-
lees Telegraph company tor the es
tablishment of stations at Bel lie
Puerto Barrios. Puerto Cortes and
Celpa. probably extending the system
as far south as Port Limon, Costa
Rica. It Is assured that wireless
communication between these points
and the United Statea will be In op
eration by the first week In Febru
ary. The United Fruit company will
serve the public, but subject to cen
sure all messages, retaining the priv
ilege of refusing for transmission
such messages as may appear pre
judicial to their bus'ness interests
This exception to public service is due
to the constant competition among
the several steamship lines operating
In the fruit trade between the Uni
ted States and Central American
ports.
The business men of Ceiba are
much elated, and welcome the ad
vent of the wireless as a factor of In
estimable value to them In their
commercial relations with the United
States.
MAKING OF CITIES.
Spokane and Los Angeles Have
Sprang Up Recently.
The Southern Oregonian says ot
the method of making successful
dues: -
Within the lives of comparatively
young men, Los Angeles has grown
from a small town to a city of a quar
ter of a million.. In the same length
of time Spokane has also grown into
a place of 100,000 population and
over.
These cities are not sea ports.
There was nothing in either case
done by nature to make a city, , Their
growth and development are due to
only one thing their citizens.
To make a city, enterprise, daring,
hustle, energy and unity of purpose
are essential. With the right sort of
people, a city can be built upon the
desert. With the wrong kind that
la, those who devote their energy to
petty bickering and knocking natur
al conditions may in the course of
centuries force the growth of a city;
but It will be hopelessly distanced In
the lifetime of those living.
Medford has reached the point
when all factions must bury the ax
and hammer and pull together for the
common good. It Is for this reason
that the "Prosperity Mass-Meeting"
has been called for next Monday eve
ning at the opera house.
THE LA FOLLETTE PLEDGE.
A short session of the Ada County

pledge ourselves to do all In our
power to secure delegates from this
state to the national convention at
Chicago, who will support bis nomi

for president of the United States.
Formed a Garfield Club.
A. Case and H. K. Risher are In
the city today on business. In speak
ing of the news of Haines and Rock
Creek it was learned from them that
an initial step has been taken by the
republicans of that part of the coun

WEI IK PRESENT
Sentiment la the East Is Strong tor
Open Rlverawllastsl(iiil River
Project, Chicago Drainage Canal
snxl Columbia River, Are Three
Leading Projects Up fur Considera
tion. The Walla Walla Union says ot an
address by Prof. W. D. Lyman ot
Whitman college on the recent meet
ing of the rivers and harbors con
gress at Washington, D. C:
"The meeting of tha river and har
bors congress surpassed my expecta
tions and I think tha expectations of
all who attended It
"It waa great In tha aggregation ot
interest represented and In Its prom
ise ot economic and political results,'
said Professor Lyman yesterday In
opening his address at tha regular
meeting of the Science club. His
subject was "Economic and Political
Aspects ot the Rivera and Harbors
Congress at Washington City."
This was tha congress to which
Prof. Lyman was a delegate, and he
spoke from a thorough knowledge.
The congress consisted of' 1798 dele
gates, representing all Interests, lo
calities and policies of the country.
One of the central thoughts of th
meeting was, "We stand for a policy,
not a project," a thought that was re
peated and emphasised In many
forms.
This policy which is to have such
Important economic effects on the
tlfe of the nation. Is embodied In the
resolution passed recommending that
$50,000,000 per year be expended for
at least a period ot 10 years for the
improvement of rivers and harbors.
This is to be considered In the nature
not of current expense, but ot a per
manent Investment like the Panama
canaL
The projects which received the
most attention in this regard were
three In number first, the Mississippi
river project, th's to make a 15-foot
channel from the Great Lakes, via
the Chicago drainage canal, to the
gulf, with pumerous waterways along
the Atlantic coast from Boston to the
gulf; the third Is the opening and Im
provement of the Columbia river.
"The political aspects of the case
particularly Impressed me, said
Professor Lyman. "This Improve
ment of the rivers will become th
great factor In our political tndepend
ence. As it were. It is a new Dec
laration of Independence, or Inde-
pendence from the dictation of coUonolt Knlk maI, ymy afternoon

BUILDING TO THE WEST.
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul In
stalling New Service.
Important steps in the progress of
the coast extension of .the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway were
announced yesterday by F. A. Miller,
general passenger agent, says a Chi
cago dispatch.
Train service was established Jan
uary 12 to Marmath, N. D., 80 mile
west of Bowman, N. D., the present
end of the line. On the same date
local service will be put on between
Harlowton and Musselshell, Mont,
These two towns are In the central
part of Montana and are 82 mile
apart
Work has advanced so rapidly that
trains will probably be running be
tween St. Paul and Butte some time
In May or June. By the middle of
February It is expected that most -of
the construction work will be finish
ed. Already the grading has been
practically completed and rails are
being laid at the rate of four miles
day.
Marmath, to which trains will be
run next week, is about 200 miles
west of the Missouri river. While
construction crews are advancing
westward from this place others are
working eastward along the Mussel
shell valley. It is thought that the
two lines will be connected and the
bridge built across the Yellowstone at
Miles City by the middle of next
month.
According to present plans the Mil
waukee & St. Paul's coast extension
will be completed to Seattle early In
1909.
WALLA WALLA BOY MURDERED,
Supposed to Be Victim of a Tramp
with Whom lie Left His Home.
No further details of the murder of
Keevil Albring, the former Walla
Walla boy, were received from Spo
kane this afternoon. Keevil Albring
and his father, A. J. Albring, are well
known in Walla Walla, where they
lived up to eight years ago at the
corner of Second and Newell streets
and the father, who Is now a Peone
prairie rancher, then ran a small
produce house on Third street, say
the Walla Walla Bulletin.
According to word brought to the
city this afternoon the body of Kee
vil Albring was found near Spokane,
50 yards from the county road Satur
day afternoon. Young Albring had
been missing since December 24,
when he left hti home for Spokane
In company with a hobo, who had
been working at his father' ranch,
but the father thought the boy had
been drinking and did not become
suspicious until a few days ago.
The searchers found the body with
the back of the skull crushed.
A rancher named Dryer, met the
tramp December 14. and th man
was then wearing Keevll's coat and
Irving to evil the Nm the hoy had
heeu driving. There was Mood In
the bottom ot the wagon, but th
tramp said they had been hauling
fresh meat.
The body of the young nian was
found near whrra Dryer met the
tramp.
DRIVING OVT JAPANESE.
Ilawellnn Planters Tire of War Agi
tation.
A dispatch from Los Angeles says
of th reduction ot Japanese force
on Hawaiian plantation;
Talk of trouble between the Uni
ted State and Japan haa caused
planter and business men ot th
Hawaiian Island to get rid of many
ot tha Japanese formerly In their em
ploy, according to news Just received
here.
There are 10,000 Japanese out of
employment In the Islands," say a
man Just back from Honolulu. "These
Japanese were formerly employed by
the sugar planter and In general
work throughout the Islands, but
they have been supplanted by Span
ish-Americana Th latter are mor
satisfactory workmen and there Is no
danger of any ot them be ng (pie.
'Some time ago the rapid Increase
of the Asiatics in the Islands was
called to the attention of the author!
ties at Washington, and It was found
that a majority of the orientals was
composed of discharged army veter
ans; Orders were given at once that
no Japanese were to be employed on
the fortifications or other public
works, and. Kanakas and Span sh
Amerlcana were quickly put In place
of the discharged and war-experienc
ed orientals.
"It wa very clear to the author!

this country and Japan the Hawaiian
Islands would become an easy prey
to the latter it war veteran were on
the ground here to assist landing par
ties.
"Since this view ot the matter was
brought home to Americans the work
of discharging Japanese ha been
going on rapidly, and when I left
Honolulu thousands ot the mikado's
subjects were walking about the
streets of thnt city and of other Ha
waiian towns unable to find employ
ment. Many of them are using every
effort to get to British Columbia,
from whence they hope to quietly slip
Into the United States.
"It is certain that the day of the
Japanese In Hawaiian Islands has
passed."
ALASKAN HARDSHIPS.
The following story of hardslp In
Alaska from the Seward Oateway of
December 28. which has Just reached
the office of the East Oregonian. Is
an Illustration of the privation suf
fered by the pioneers of the north
Alfred Lowell arrived m-ith the Tv
at 5 o'clock, after as hard a trip as
any Alaska mall carrier might han
ker for, and one which few of them
could make In twice the time, says
the Gateway.
The whole outfit, carrier, dogs and
sleds, fell through the Ice of Eagle-
river into seven or eight feet of
water.
Lowell pulled everything out but
one sled, but the water soaked mall
reached Seward frozen Into bricks
which had to be thawed. Much of
It perhaps nearly, alt, will have to
be placed In' fresh envelopes by tne
local postmaster. This entails a fine
long batch of reports and explana
tlons for the benefit of the red tape
bureau of the postofflce department
at Washington.
Lowell reports that the snow Is two
to three feet deep on Crow creek
summit and the slope beyond, but
not more than a foot In the lowlands.
Most of the streams were still run
ning. The beach of Turnagaln arm
was mostly bare. Through Placer
valley two feet of snow lay but when
he came over the ice crust on tow wa
not strong enough in many places
to hold a man's weight. The snow
had been slushy before. Several
feet of snow lay on the summit at
mile 45 and beyond to the tunnels.
The carrier will start again for Ty-
onoK January i,
THE LODGE POLE PINE.
The lodgepole pine gained Its name
from its wide use by the Indians as a
suDDort for their tepees. Since the
Indians of the Rocky mountain re
gion dragged their lodge poles to the
plains while hunting, a timber of
requisite height but small diameter
was sought, and this the lodgepole
pine provided without trimming.
The names of white pine, black
pine, spruce and tamarack are also
applied locally. In Wyoming lodge
pole pine is more numerous than any
other tree, and it Is largely represent
ed In the forests of Colorado, Utah
Oregon and California. It grows from
sea level to 11,000 feet elevation, and
is noted for it variable form and
quality. In the Rocky mountains the
wood is lighter in weight and color,
less resinous and stralghter grained
than on the Pacific coast.
Lodgepole pine attains an age of
from 100 to 300 years. It quickly
succumfis to fire on account of Its
thin bark, but to a certain extent
guards against extinction by this
cause by producing fertile cones at the
early age of from six to 10 years.
Reseedlng after a fire is favored al
so by the persistence of the cones,
some of which do not shed their
seeds for a number of years, and by
the readiness with which the seeds
germinate on mineral soil of burned-
over land.
A large proportion of the seed
germinate; they are usually borne an
nually and In large quantities; and
since they are small and light, they
are carried by the wind as far as 200
yards from the seed tree.
A lot of men exhaust their ener
gies In telling of the big things they
are about to do.
GOVERNMENT
WEATHER REPORTS

FOR VARIED REASONS,

sation OmuIhI in Collecting Daw
on Which Dally Reports Are Haa
eil I'llumtio Statistic Collected ity
Several Thousand Voluntary Ob
server Using Standard Instru
ment, Probably no part of a daUy news
paper I regularly read by niorsi por
son than th dully weather reports
Slid predit-tlun. An attempt to enu
merate the peoi le who read them
would be almost Ilk compiling a
census, and a summary ot their mo
tives or reason for being Interested
in th weather would (umuh a muny
tided picture of every day life. '
Few person ever stop to think
what an extenslv organisation I oc
cupied In - collecting the data on
which th dally report are based,
and what great expense and labor
th government I at to make them
comprehensive and relluble. It takes
careful and Intelligent work by many
mind and hand to make a dally
newspaper, but perhaps no equal
amount of space In It represent as
much careful and Intelligent and
skilled labor as the few Inches that
contains the dally weather report.
As now organised, the weather
bureau employs the whole time of
nbout 000 paid employes, located at
about ISO stations, besides receiving
reports from several thousand volun
teer observers on special subjects
The latter, however, do not enter
Into th dally reports. The bureau
st Washington receives two reports
dally from every one of Its 180 sta
tion, one at 8 o'clock a. m. and one
at 8 o'clock p. m and these report
are the basis of the forecasts for th
next 88 hour.
These forecast ar. immediately
telegraphed to all concerned through
out the country, to every daily new
paper In the United State and wide
ly distributed by mall, by flag sig
nals and bv telephone. No other
people in the world ar o well In
formed every day In the year a to
the weather condition prevailing in
all parts of the country and whal
they may expect themselves as -are
the American people.
Climatic statistics for the various
states are collected from several
thousand voluntary observers, using
standard Instruments. . These are
printed In monthly state bullotlns, so
that the cllmete of one region can
be readily compared with that of an
other aa to temperature, rainfall,
snowfall, early frosts, late frost, etc.
The storm and flood and cold wave
warnings are of great value to many
classes of people. The weather bu
reau's present cost to the government
Is about 81,400.000 a year, but It is
worth many times that to the people.
The general puhllo may not be
aware that the records of the bureau
are In frequent demand In the ad
Judication of legal claims and are
accepted by the courts aa conclusive
evidence. As the original records
from ail stations are forwarded to
Washington and filed there. It Is
possible for the central bureau to
furnish a certified copy showing the
weather conditions, prevailing at any
time In the past In any city where
a station Is maintained. Such evi
dence Is admissible In any court In
the land.
The supreme court of the United
States and several state courts have
so decided. The calls for such evi
dence are frequent, as many as 130
copies of weather records having been
Issued in a single year. During one
period of 10 years the aggregate
number of personal appearances In
court of local observers at different
points, summoned as witnesses to tes
tofy as to whether condition at I
certain time, waa nearly three thous
and. This kind of testimony as well
as certified cople of the records, has
proven to be a turning point in many
important cases.
CUBA SHOULD BE FREE.
Secretary Taft, In connection with
his recent suggestion that Cuba be
given buck to the Cubans, says:
"It was hoped by some that the
census might be completed In Sep
tember last I did not think so, and
I am not at all surprised to learn that
the census has not yet been complet
ed and probably will not .be until
April or May.
"This will postpone the local elec
tion until June, the presidential elec
tion until December, and the Installa
tion of the president and congress and
the turning over ot the Island until
March or April of 1909.
"This Is In compliance with our
promise when we assumed temporary
control of Cuba, and it seems to me
that we ought to allow nothing to In
terfere with the carrying out of that
promise. There are Important Inter
ests that would be glad to 'delay our
stay there for years, but good faltn
and good Judgment require us to
leave at the time appointed."
The report of Governor ' Magoon
constitutes an exhaustive history of
the American Intervention In Cuba
and of the passage of the Island un
der American control.
