Tha whole affair waa pulled oft quite harmoniously, and it la evident that the democrats have strong hopes of electing at least a part of their ticket, although they have a big majority to overcome Sheep Camps Burned. Word waa brought into town pparenlly reliable sources this to the effect that there were three sheep campa burned on the range near the river below town, in the vicinity of Day ville, says the John Day correspon dent to the Oregonian.

It is probable that if the Blue Moun tain withdrawal becomes permanent and Is set aside in a forest resarve, there will be a six mile limit attached to it for stock purposes. Efforts will be made to induce department to give this amouut of room tor the stock industries and Judge Biggs, who recently left for t he east will go to Washington in the interest of the cattlemen who favor the withdrawal. The move is in accordance with the rules govering the Cascade reserve with the exception that the limit will be doubled. The Cascade reserve is sur rounded with a three mile area ment are now in Eastern Oregon ex amining theae two localities, mad it expected that one or the other will be selected aa a site for government op erations. When the selection has teen made, and definite information ia ob tained as to the amount of land that can be rec aimed, the cost ot getting the water on to the land, the amount of water available for iraigation purposes. etc., the secretary of the interior wil) direct that sufficient money be set aside from the general reclamation fund for the construction of thia irri gation project.
