Write or Call on any Agent, or GOVERNMENT EXPERT INVESTIGATES POISONING OF LAKE COUNTY SHEEP Remarkable Lack of Information Obtained On Matter of Great Importance to Sheep men of Entire Section uf Country In response to telegram sent last summer, from the Supervisor of the Fremont National Forest telling of severe losses of sheep, Mr. Tidestrom was detailed to make investigations of the conditions. On June 18 with a Forest Ranger he went out towards Big Lake east of Lakeview to investi gate an area where 600 sheep had died. This region Is characterised by the sage, Artemisia tridentata and a few other plants. Amongst the cedars grow an abundance of an umbellifer and below the cellars are large colonies of Purshia tridentata. known locally as greesewood The herd from which 600 were lost was traveling from the des ert to the forest. Apparently the an imals were in good condition until they reached winter range about eight miles east of the forest. They were bedded along the cedars and allowed to graze at will. The following morn ing the fatalities occured. Examina tion showed that the umbellifer had been very largely eaten, ao largely in fact that it was difficult to find materi al for study. A lupine occurred in abundance and had Wen eaten exten sively but this also occurs outside the poison area. It seemed very probable that the umbellifer in question was the causa of the loss of sheep. This plant has been collected In quantity and will be more carefully studied at the Laboratory at Washington. . In an aspen grove near Cold Springs where sheep were said to have been lost, the characteristic plant was a species, of lupine. An Aconite and a Veratrum were found there also, but it seems more probable that the lupine was the cause of the trouble. On June 22, Mr. Tidestrom went out to Lake Abert where a number of sheep are said to die every year while traveling from the desert to the sum mer range. Apparently, the deaths occured here in a lane. This lane, about 100 feet in width, is in most places denuded of vegetation by the FIRST GUN OF NEXT YEAR'S CAMPAIGN Chief Clerk H. II. Corey of the sec retary of state's office has come out as an avowed candidate for the office of secretary of state. When I5en W. 01 cott assumed thut office he asked Mr. Corey to continue as chief clerk, which meant, if accepted, that Corey would not.be a candidate auinst Olcottt at the primaries for the Republican nom ination a year hence. Mr. Corey's home is in Raker county and it is believed that he will have a large following in eastern Oregon. He was appointed chief clerk by the ! late F. W. Benson, and during his Ul ! ness the conduct of the office devolved on him entirely. "Although resigning." he stated to night, "I appreciate that a new man in the office is severely handicapp ed. I have told Mr. Olcott that I will remain as long as he wishes me to without any pay whatever, until such time as he is accustomed to the office work and will be able to secure a chief clerk who can handle all of the details. "I am a candidate for Secretary of State. I have received word from hundreds of leading men in every part of Oregon and I am confident that the Republican purty will give me its I warmest support. In my long connec tion with the office I know its every detail and I am certain that if the people of Oregon (Tesire efficient ser vice I can give it to them." Mr. Olott stated that he has no one in mind as a successor to Mr. Corey. Itf is generally conceded, however, that Frank S. Lovell will be tendered the w.r.o'.Z,.T. M. f r.ttttM urliB In tVif.

He ,is a close friend of Governor West's and will, it is believed, be offered the place at least. Secretary Olcott said, in commenting on Corey's resignation : "I tendered the 'position of chief clerk to Mr. ICorey several days ago. He asked time to'consider it. He gave me his decision today. This was to the'effect that he had decided not to remain but to resign with the intention of becoming's candidate for the office of Secretary of State. He also said that he had been'importuned by many friends to do this. Mr. Corey and I have been friends of long standingjand I have only good to say of him. My sincerest and best wishes accompany him." graxing sheep A prominent plant in this lane was the milkweVd. Asclepias speciosa. In many localities In the country this milkweed ia an Id to olHon stock. The evidence In regard to its properties, however, is not very defi nite. This was collected in nuanlty and will le carfully examined In the Laboratory at Washington. On June 2.'), Mr. Tidestrom went from Lakeview to Sibley Draw, a re gion bordering on the Mixloo National Forest. In this region great numbers of Zygadenus paniculatus were found ami an Astragalus. The Zygadneua or death camas may be the cause of losses in this neighlorhood, although some of the sheepmen claim that the Astragalus has poisoned the animals. On June 26 tho Juniper Hills near Sibley Draw were examined, , this re gion leing partly in the Modoc Forest and here also the umbellifer that hail been suspeced was found. Here, how ever, sheep were ranging without ap parently suffering from this plant. It may l said, however, that the plant occured there very rarely. Through this region the ljuitmash, Camassia esculenta is very abundant. The camas, Zygadenus paniculatus is also common along the slopes. This plant commonly known as "lobelia." is suid I i i.. ..i.i.. : IV... i,.,.. w nave? mane iniuiiic in uiv unj. It will be seen from this report that the study of the Fremont National Forest is very preliminary in charac ter. The particularly suspicious plunts are the umbellifer and the Zygadenus. The latter plant is known to be jioison ous and may well huve caused the trouble with the sheep. It is much to be desired that our men could le ujon the Fremont National Forest at the time when the trouble occurs and it is hoped during the coming season to have one or two men in the region when the sheep are dying and it may le possible to determine the difficulty with more exactitude ami probably make recommendations which will de cidedly reduce the losses. ECHO Or HIGH ROCK CANYON TRAGEDY Reno Journal : Lid Indian Mike and his renegade family annex the scalps of four additional victims, afterjiaving murdered the four stockmen and a chinaman in Little Rock canyon last January? According to the story of Frank O'Brien, who arrived yesterday from the Pyramid Lake country there is every .reason to believe that additional murders were committed by the band of Indians. O'Brien bases his belief on the finding of the remains of four fiorses, that had been killed and. buri ed. The carcasses were in separate places, but ail were along the route taken by IndUn Mike and his followers after having committed the murders in Little Rock canyon. "My attention was called to the buried horses by sheepherders," said Mr. O'Brien. "It was only by acci dent that the remains of the animals were discovered, for great care had been taken to hide the graves. One of the horses was found four miles north of the twenty mile house, near the Pyramid reservation.- Tne sceond ani mal was discovered two miles north of the horse camp, situated seven miles north of the reservation. The other two bodies were located at a point about two miles north of the spot where the second discovery was made. "The find wis made a few weeks ago, but I did not have the necessary time to explore the vicinities of the graves, as I was busy with the sheep. However, we exhumed the remains of the animals and on each the brand had been cut and the cars clipped. This ap peared to me to be an Indian trick, for it was apparent that the parties who killed the animals, did not want them to be identified by either the ear marks or brands. From what I could determine, it is my belief that the animals ranged from two to four years in age. "A search for saddles, bridles or blankets revealed nothing. We made a hurried Bearch of the vicinity of each grave for it was our belief that the Indians had murdered the owners of the horses and likewise buried their bodies, but were unable to find any traces of a crime having been com mitted. The lack of time on our part forced us to abandon the hunt." Mr. O'Brien stated that he would make an additional search of the terri tory in the near future, and that he would guide interested parties to the place where the animals were found. NEW BIRD RESERVE IN MODOC COUNTY The Clear lake reservoir 1U and the land belonging to this has lren made a government bird reserve by the order of President Taft. The Clear lake reservoir site and grounds belonging to the United States Government in connection with tho'slte embraces 2T.000 acres. Clear lake la In Modoc county, Cali fornia. It ia at an isolated portion of the country, being something like M) miles from Klamath Falls and a consi derable distance from any inhabitance other than stock ramps. It bus not been molested to a great extent in the past by hunters, but while this him been the case with the more thickly settlings of the country it would be come famous hunting ground in the future, and it is also likely that some poaching ia done there every year now, as it has been ao far away from settle ment that the Indians or whites could go there and slaughter the birds with out fear of detection. With the mak ing of it a government bird reserve some one will be detailed to look after the territory and keep all hunter away. It is also believed that this act of President Taft is only the forerunner of setting aside of the l.ava Hods as government game reserve. It is a well known fact that much pressure has leen brought to bear on the presi dent by certain elements for some months to gel hitn to make the Ijiva Beds a muie tail deer retreat. OREGOl'S" SURVEY PLANS ARRANGED Salem. May 2. The terms of co-oier-ation in the making of topographic maps.and stream guaging work in Ore gon for 1911, has been definitely agreed upon in a conference between the State I F.nginrcr and the Iireetor of the Unit ( ed States Geological Survey. The Gov ernment will expend dollar for dollar ; with the st.ite in these surveys, which are of permanent nature and it will tend greatly to promote tho develop , incut and use of land and water re , sources.

This work willV adjoin the present sheet covering a part of Portland, and included Oregon City. Approximately (i(M) square miles of the floor of the Willamette Valley in the vicinity of Eugene already has i been mapped on a scale of two inches 1 to the mile, showing five-foot contour intervals. Four hundred square miles ' adjoining this area to the north will be I surveyed similarly and mapped this 'season. It will include the towns of ' Corvallis and Albany, i In Baker county 8ij0 square miles will be mapped on a scale of two miles ' to the inch, showing 100 foot contours. This area will include the fertile valley 1 of Eagle Creek and Pine Creek and : Lower Powder River. In addition, 1 triangulation control will be extended 1 over unsurveyed districts so as to fur 1 nish a proper base for work in subse I quent years.

Make Good Washington, April 29. With the de claration thut the ttostal savings bunks hatl made good, officials of the post office department announced toduy that the system would be s(eedily extended to the larger cities. Statistician Harry Thompson, who is supervising the pos tal banks said : "The banks now realize that instead of losing money through our system they are actually gaining in deposits. Our deposits are from people who would not trust their savings to any one but the government. The govern ment then deposits these savings with the qualified banks, "Now that the system has proven uch a big success, on May 1 the gov ernment will open 45 new banks in se cond class post offices. Then we will begin branching out to the big cities, with New York, Chicago, Boston and San Francisco as the objective points. "The government does not expect to make a penny on its operations and will be satisfied to clear expenses." La Vogue suits are shown In a large range of styles (or ladles and missus.
