LA GRANDE'S SEW REGISTER.
Firsl Mormon Federal Official In Or
egon Now in Land Office.
A letter from La Grande In the
Oregon Daily Journal says of Frank
C. Bramwell, the new register of the
La Grande land office:
The first member of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or
Mormons, ever to be appointed to a
federal office in Oregon is Frank C.
Bramwell deputy county clerk of
Union county, who was recently con
firmed by the United States senate
as register of the United States land
office at La Grande.
Mr. Bramwell was born at Plalne
City, Utah, December 21, 1881, and
has been reared in the Mormon
church. . His father,- F. S. Bramwell,
was one of the most prominent mem
bers of that church in eastern Oregon.
Mr. Bramwell came with his parents
to Baker City in 1899 and in 1900 he
came to La Grande, where he has
since resided. He Is reputed to be
one of the most competent men ever
employed in the county clerk's office
of Union county. He is married and
has two children.
The appointment of Mr. Bramwell
Is the first political recognition of
the power of the Mormon church In
Oregon and has special significance
for this reason. The Mormon vote
of Union county Is about 000, and
that of Baker county about 1000, and
while the church claims It Is Indepen
dent In politics, yet there Is a com
munity of sentiment which brings the
voters close together in all political
campaigns.
Aside from his being a member of
the Mormon church, there is nothing
unusual about the appointment of
Mr. Bramwell, as he is considered
perfectly well qualified, capable, sober
and industrious and leads a quiet, un
ostentatious home life. He does not
believe in polygamy, but is a zealous
member of the La Grande "stage" of
the Mormon church.
Had he not been appointed to this
position he could have been elected
county clerk of Union county at the
election in June, it Is believed. He Is
well liked by the members of his
church and the community In gener
al, and it is the sentiment of all who
know him that he will make a popu
lar and capable federal official.

BANNOCK SHEEP DISEASED.
One-Third ot Eastern Idaho Flock
Have the Scab.
Dr. Charles F. Rork. federal sheep
inspector for this district, emnloyed
by the United States bureau of ani
mal Industry at Washington, re
turned last night ' from an official
trip through the Gentile valley region
in Bannock and Oneida counties, says
the Pocatello Tribune.
Out of 40,000 head of sheep in
spected on this trip. Dr. Rork found
over one third, or 11.600 diseased.
Five bands in Bannock county were
found scabby and on In 'Oneida
county.
The result of this inspection, which
covers only about one-half the sheep
In Bannock county at this time and
about one-fifth of the Oneida county
sheep, plainly shows the wisdom of
the Idaho Woolgrowers association In
demanding at Its last convention that
the federal quarantine on sheep
In this state be re-established. D
Rork will leave tomorrow for Pres
ton to complete the inspection of
Oneida county sheep.
WOCLD HAVE WOMEN VOTE.
Indiana Dairymen Pat Suffrage Res

Whereas, In the Industry for

COW MOTHER OF TRIPLETS.
Indiana Farmer Has Jersey That Does
Not Believe In Race Suicide.
Twins are common In the cattle
yards, but cows who bring forth more
at a time are rare, say the Ameri
can Farmer. Hagerstown, Indiana,
however, reports a two-year-old Jer
sey that presented her owner on New
Tear's eve with a fine lot of triplets.
The mother herself, also the grand
mother, were twins.
Local stockmen, encouraged by this
case of prolificacy, hope to be able
to produce a strain of cattle that will
bear twins or triplets as a regular
thing. This has already been done
with sheep and goats, and if cattle
can be bred up to such performances
it will greatly Increase the number
and consequent profit of the herds.
FORBIDDEN MESSAGES.
It seems strange that even now
there are many restrictions on the
use of as ordinary a thing as a cable
or telegraph wire. Tet it 1 true that
nobody is permitted to send to or
through Portugal anything having to
do with the deeds or thoughts of an
archists and that code messages of
any kind are forbidden in Tripoli,
Bosina, Ronmella, Roumanla, Herze
govina, Bulgaria and other Balkan
states.
After that it seems unnecessary to
mention that Turkey forbids code
messages, but It is a little surprising
to find that you can send a message
to most parts ot Persia in only one
language that Is French and it
you address most places In the land
of the shah your message will be
translated into the tongue of Gaul
and diplomacy when It reaches Tehe
WHAT THE CZAR COULD NOT DO.
The czar of Russia was visiting the
king of Denmark, and upon one of
their drives around Copenhagen, the
king pointed out to the czar a certain
high tower.
"Now," said the czar, "how much
power have, you over your subjects T
Could you command one ot your
poorest subjects to climb to th top
of that tower and jump off7
"No," said the king; "but I could
go and sleep in that poor subject's
hut and be a welcome guest." And
the czar was silent Plck-Me-Up.

asked his companion.
"Know anything!" said the cynical

Helped Many Deserving American
la the Orient,
Horace G. McKinley, who ha aris
en to publie notoriety through hi
land-gobbling operations in - Oregon,
and who is now supposed to b on his
way across th Paclflo a th guest
ot th United State, occupied some
space in th column ot th Tientsin
Critic a few weeks ago. when h was
captured and placed under arrest In
th Issue ot January 0, under th
headline of "Recapture of Horace O.
McKinley." th Critic give th fol
lowing account of th pursuit and
apprehension of th tugltve:
"Horace O. McKinley, who escaped
from th Chinese authorities at Muk
den on November 11, and who was
retaken at Kharbln on Friday last,
arrived in Tientsin on the SOth In cus
tody of .Vice American Consul Mar
vin, and Is being held In th jail ot
the British consulate-general, where
he will remain until arrangements
have been made for hi departure for
America. He Is expected to leave In
a few days, probably under the es-
court of Robert Stevenson. United
States marshal there.
"McKinley is not only wanted as a
wltnem, but la himself Implicated In
the noted Oregon land fraud. In
volving a United State senator, sev
eral congressmen and other men ot
note. Over 100 Indictment hav
been Issued, th case now being up
for trial.
"There betng no extradition treaty
between the United States and Chi
na, the American government sought
to establish a precedent in McKlnley's
case, to ascertain whether or not
China would co-operate in extradit
ing any criminals and adventurers
who sought refuge In her territory,
without a treaty. .
"Had McKinley made good hi es
cape It would undoubtedly nave de
feated this first attempt
"As China was desirous of showing
that she as In sympathy with ths
movement, and that the co-operation
could be relied upon, and also be
cause the provincial authorities sus
pected their subordinates of assist
ing in his escape, a specal effort was
made to effect his capture. The)
offered a reward of S4000 for his
apprehension, which has since been
paid, the Informer turning out to be
one of McKinley' confederates.
"He was captured at Kharbin rail
road station just as he waa about to
board the train. He would have un
doubtedly got away If his confederate
had not given him away at the last
moment.
"McKinley is a quiet and unassum
ing man, and during his residence has
conducted himself in a steady and a
well-conducted manner. He made a
large number of friends and was gen
erous to a fault It Is said. He put
more than one man on his feet where
others had refused to help. During
the greater part of the past two years
he has res ded In Tientsin, being em
ployed as manager of the Winter
Gardens, and then on their closing
went up Into Manchuria."
WAGON ROAD TO LUMBER BELT
Forty Miles of Road Will Be Built Up
North Fork of Clearwater.
The Tribune secured the informa
tion yesterduy that plans have boen
formulated and that a definite an
nouncement will be made relative to
a campaign that is to be inaugurat
ed for the construction of 50 mile of
wagon road up the North Fork of
the Clearwater river from Ahsahka,
the road to penetrate the great tim
ber belt. Much investigation of th
subject has already been made by in
fluential parties, who are definitely
back of the move, says the Lewlston
Tribune.
The plan is to have the highway
built jointly by the county and state
donations, supplemented by subscrip
tions from the Weyerhauser- and
Schofleld timber syndicates. It has
been learned the timber corhpanie
have already announced their will
ingness to join the movement and are
giving active support to the project
The road would reach the greatest
stand of white pine In the world and
would be In the permanent plan but
an Initial step for an extensive sys
tem of highways, reaching all part
of the immense timber belt- There
are hundreds of claims In the region
held by individuals, also, that are not
now accessible except by trail dur
ing favorable seasons, while at oth
er seasons the country cannot b en
tered at' all. The timber belt 1
classed by many as being Idaho's
greatest source of dormant wealth.
From the proposed highway, connec
tion will be made with Bruce's Eddy,
above Ahsahka, with the road to
Orofino, and all the country between
the North Fork and Orofino will thus
be served.
In the plan to be adopted the In
terest of all the communities of this
section will be solicited on the ground
that the opening of such a highway
will be of benefit to all. No estimates
as to te cost of the highway hav
yet been prepared, but this data it is
understood will De gathered during
the present month.
$1284 IN BANK RUBBISH. .
Telephone LJncman Discover Neat

Two gold pokes containing 11084.05
In melted bricks and nuggets, and a
watch chain, said to be worth $200,

imvK 45 year old. Sunset telephone
electrician, in a pits ot rubbish In a
corner of on ot th vault in lh
Dexter Horton bank building, whloh

Pugvt Sound National bank, says a
Seattle item. .
Th small fortune ot valuable had
been overlooked by employs ot th
bank when lh institution moved Into
It newly rafttted qusrtsrs at First
avenue and Jams street. Th loss
was nol discovered until when Davla,
who was arrested,, admitted to Ser
geant of Detective Chaa. Tennant
that he had found th gold when he
was removing telephone wire from
th bank building a week ago.
Assistant Cashier O. Winifred
Crockett of th Puget Sound Nation
al bank called at police headquarter
and identified th two poke and
their contents as having been luft by
a palron In th custody ot th bank.
Crockett said that Davla would not
b prosecuted and h probably will
be released from jail.
Davis was arrested by Policeman
William Donlan when h Is said to
hav tried to dlspos of the gold to a
second hand storekeeper on First
Avenue South. Davis denies that h
tried to soil the gold, but says he waa
merely making Inquiry to see It It was
genuine gold. Davla said th second
hand dealer told htm he thought It
was "phony."
Davis declared he had watched th
newspapers to see It the loss had bean
reported, and when he could find
nothing about II, he concluded to find
for himself th genuineness of the
contents. Later Joseph Mayer pro
nounced the contents as good gold
and said It probably waa worth SHOO

REMEMBERS THE BUZZARD.
"Last Sunday was the 20th anni

in Nebraska and northwestern Iowa,"
said O. D. Rlggs the oteher day, says
the Des Moines Register, "I was liv
ing In O'Neill, Neb., at the time and
had jutt left the office to go horn
for dinner when the blizzard struck.
"I started to cross the street t.i a
drug store, but when I reached the
other side I found myself half wiry
down the block from my destination.
"The fine wind-driven snow-flakes
filled the air so that I couldn't see
my hand before me. I finally work
ed my way back to the drug store,
where a number of other men had
taken refuge from the storm.
"School had just been dismissed for
the noon recess and we knew tnat
nearly 200 children were out In the
storm. Securing long ropes, the
crowd started out to rescue them. We
found them huddled In doorways and
by the sides of buildings. The child
ren caught hold of the ropes and were
led to shelter by their rescuers, whaee

to them. Every one of the 300 school
children In the town was got home
in safety,
"But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during
the blizzard and thousands of cattle
died. The thermometer fell from
about the freezing point at noon to 20
degrees below 'zero that night, it
vas the worst blizzard I ever saw,

TO PROTECT YOUNG BUDS,
Yakima Orrliardlsta Preparing to Save
Fruit Crop.
While it Is true that th buds on th
fruit trees ar somewhat advanced
tor this time of th year, th ma
jority of th orchardlst ar not
worrying very much about possible
danger from late frosts, say th
Taklma Republic
Those who believe that harm may
result are making preparations so as
to be In a position to "smudge" when
the late frosts come. Little plies
made' of green twig often th re
sults of th pruning knife ar to b
seen In many .of the orchards and
these will make the smoke required
to koep the frost off th trees.
With the advanced price of or
chards and orchard land and the rec
ognition of the big profit which can
be made on fruit and vegetable th
best methods ot protection from late
frosts are being discussed to a con
siderable extent hereabouts, and some
Inquiries are being made regarding
the preparations of pitch which are
used extensively In the vineyards ot
Europe and California,
This preparation make a dens
emnko which, hanging low over th
ground. Is an absolute protection to
the vineyards or fruit tree when King
Frost make an attack. It la not
known her whether th pitch prep
arations can be obtained at any Near
by point or whether the price I rea
sonable.
Some of the orchardlst consider
that while the trees ar budding early
there Is no particular cause for anxl
ety as the ground Is still well frozen
and there Is likely to be anoether cold
spell In the near future, following th
winter weather which is now reported
