treasury to operate the government
for some time to come.
One of tho surprising features of
the occasion at which all bat two

displayed by tke wemea. Many of
the Hills who eseorted; tksir . wtvea

meekly on the side lines, while their

The war prices were everywhere
decidedly noticeable. An ordinary

would be worth about the same as
ten acres of alfalfa laad.

C. J. Barnard of tbe United States

Following an attack of measles last
fall which settled in his hip, young
hernard spent three months In the
hospital .and Is Just now regaining
his atrengtb.
"That trouble ia threatening be
tween OiTsh'eVmehlsad'cdiUriioa
of Klamath County, is Indicated by
the fact that six bead of sheep were
poisoned night before last at the
ranch of Fred L. Pope near Merrill,
and seventeen belonging 'to Eugene
Hammond of that district by a ma
rauder who left a aote warning them
to keep their aheep away from tha
Bryant Mountain ranges, with a
match significantly enclosed.
In this connection, Steve Stuket, a
prominent resident of the Poo Valley
district, waa arrested, brought to

reported to have atoutly declared his
Innocence, and officials, on tbe other
hand, allege that peculiar bono
tracks were trscsd directly to his
ranch, a distance of fifteen miles
from the scerig the poisoning.
The poison, which la believed to
have been sneak, was thrown over
tbe corner of a fence at the Pope
ranch, mixed with about one-quarter
ack of oats. The fact that the ani
mals did not frequent thla corner la
responsible, according to Pope, for
his comparatively smsll loss. The
poison worked quickly, aa two of tbe
sheep were found dead at 8 o'clock la
