That opinion was so favorably re garded and was shown such respect by courts In other states that Its char acter as a precedent seemed to be fairly well established. But now an opinion of precisely the opposite im port has been handed down by so near a tribune as the supreme court of Kansas The ruling Is that the "testi mony" of bloodhounds Is something that may be properly considered, es pecially In connection with other evi dence concerning the competency of which there Is no dispute. The court refuses to set aside a ver dict of murder against a man convict ed solely on the evidence of shoe prints and the trailing of footsteps by hounds. The dogs took the trail from the tracks around the body of the murdered man and followed It for six miles to the home of the man, who was then accused and later convicted. The shoe tracks around the body and the home of the man accused corres ponded with the shoes he wore. It was contended that If the trailing by the hounds were eliminated from the evi dence the evidence from the shoe prints alone would not be sufficient for conviction on a capital charge, but the court held that the “testi mony” of the hounds was competent to corroborate that of the prints.

A drouth of nearly two weeks in the states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska is drawing to a close in the lurid haze of a blaz ing sun and the utter absence of moisture on which plant life is accustomed to feed. The sons of the patriarch who went forth from Israel into the land of Egypt to buy corn and to return to the pa rental tree that the lives of the family and the stock upon the place might not perish bnt in a measure tide over the untoward conditions that confronted the husbandman of that day of stren uous want and the widespread failure of all vegetation, are today exemplified in the fearful condi tions that now abtain in the above named states. For it was a faminine of long and trying de mands upon the resources of the slender stock of provender held in store by the Children of Israel. The same conditions confront the people of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma at the present time, with the added horrors of a scarc ity of water for man as well as beast. The heat for the past two weeks in the above named states has burned up vegetation, has dried up the springs of water and forced farm life toward localities where water is available. The sacrifice to the farming interests of these states is beyond estimate. The parched lands and shriveled vegetation is an admonition that a home in this area is and has al ways been subject to the devasta tion of a horde of locusts and grasshoppers, the ruthless and unbridled foroes of nature in the cyclone’s fury and the yet more destructive periodic visitations of drouth in all its withering af fects upon life and property val ues. In Oregon, and especially so in the great Snake river valley, there are none of these drawbacks to be overcome in the settlement of our lands, in the peaceful en joyment of a competence accum ulated by thrift and enterprise, nor in the great possibilities of climate, soil and accessibility to market. Oregon offers to the dis heartened farmer of Kansas. Ne braska and Oklahoma an avenue of escape from his discouraging environment. Crops here are not dependent upon the caprices of nature, the vagaries of storm clouds nor the aerial unrest and atmospheric revulsions that are clearing houses of storm centers and cyclonic force. When ‘.he rays of an August sun are suffi ciently powerful in their intensity to cause the ignition of a oar of coal it is about time for the sons of men to seek the shades of the tall timber. When streams and rivulets dry np and the udders of wells refuse to give forth the wa ters of life, then it behooves the denizens of such districts to gin! up their loins and gat »hern to a more congenial and a more pleas ant clime i JULIUS CAESAR IS BADLY MALIGNED than brains. The A m erican, in about two feet o i 19-em space, in ch ron iclin g the presence of “ Scotty,” says: In tne language of Julius Caesar, "H o o t Mon, how hath the m ight fallen” and once more a sample of financial p rof ligacy is brought to us in a most forceful manner. On the farm of Dave Madison of W eiser Flat we now find the man wield ing tbe sm ooth end of a pitch- fork who once worried for fear he would never be able to spend all tbe m oney be had. W hose nights were a torm ent filled with sudden wakings in a cold sweat caused by a dream where in be was made to die with all tbe money in the world unspent. Busily engaged in distributing feed to the chickens in the early m orning or humped up over u tin pail receptacle and in d u cin g the m ild-eyed cow to give down her milk, we find the man who once hired a whole train to co n vey him from the m etropolis of California to that of Illinois. A nd all this on $2.25 per. A ccord in g to the m an’s story this is “ Death Valley Scotty.” He is the man who sntered the region unconquered by man and brougnt from tbe most des olate part of it more gold nug gets than a man could lift all at once. H e is a man 55 years of age and at this tim e weighs 135 pounds. H e is about 5 feet 9 inches, ligh t com plectioned and blue eyed. Does anybody know h im ? ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS A nnouncem ent is made that the annual m eeting of the stock holders of the OwyfTee Ditch com pan y will be held on the second day of Septem ber. The statement is also given out that matters of im portance will com e at that tim e for ‘ consideration. Th e num ber of acres supplied this year with water is given as 6400, a decrease of 1100 acres from that furnished du rin g the lust season. Many have made inquiry as to the details of the m ethod pursued in d erivin g the necessary revenue for the sup port of the system, and for fur ther enlightenm ent on the sub ject the follow in g is taken from the Ontario A rgus of last week: “ Th e revenue is derived at present from a 5 per cen t as sessm ent on all stock and a charge for users of water taken out and the result ia a great un certainty for the directors to contend with each year in re regard to |the funds available, the revenues fallin g below the requirem ents for upkeep and and the m eeting of the paym ent of bonds. M any of the stock holders are also w ondering what will happen when the ad ju d ication of the water o f the Owyhee river is m ade; where will the rights o f those who have not used water com e in, the law requ irin g the beneficial use of water to be valid.
