Hot Weather and Drought Has
Dried Up Feed and Has

Cattle are dying all over tho Wil

plaint caused by the hot and dry
weather.
Reports have come In from How
ell's prairie and from other places
In Marlon county and from several
places In Polk county, that these con
ditions prevail.
Farmers and calttle growers are
alarmed over the situation and many
of them do not know Is tho matter
with their cattle and believe that a
serious epidemic prevails.
Dr. .Keeler, tho well known voter
narlan says the disease, which is
really not a disease at all, is caused
by the cattle eating dry grass. This
has caused the alimentary cannl in
the n'ffected animal to become con

Greensburg, Pa., July 30. Tho
Pennsylvania's 18-hour train, west
bound, dashed into a freight wreck
while running CO miles an hour. The
engine left tho track, but all tho cars
remained on the rails; and no one
was Injured, Tho stop mado by En
gineer Corson is pronounced by rail
roaders to be the most remarkable
over made. The pilot plunged into
the wreck, scattering it war and wide
The sides of tho cars were scratched
and the hand rails bent, but tho train
lost only three and a half hours,
when it proceeded westward to make
up lost time.
Endowed with the sentiments of
nature from boyhood, which have
been characteristic of all his writ
ings, the verse following wns the
first poetry written by the now ven
erable, white-haired poet. That
was 50 years ago when he rambled
In the hills of Eastern Oregon. Ho
wns nothing but a mere stripling of
a boy then, still in his 'teens. Jon-
quln Miller's career as a writer be
gan with a little simple verso which
he penned when he was not yet
18 years of age. Now ho Is known
from one end of the country to the
other, and abroad as well.
The verse is as follews:
The hill's new brown and tho heav
en's blue,
And a woodpecker pounded a hol
low piece shell,
And the gray grouse drummed the
whole day through,
Arid n quail whistled, all is well,
all is well.
He remembers his first work dis
tinctly, and the quotation is tnken
as ho repeated it yesterday, just be
fore he left Portland for a trip to
Now York and Boston, says the Ore
gonlan. The original manuscript
was burned in his homo near Fruit-
quainted with mo for 04 years. My
mother, for Instance."
When Mr. Miller lived In Portland
In tho early days he and Lelsh Apple
gate wero great friends. Tho two
were particularly Interested In tho
writings of Mnhomot.
"There Is ono quotation from Ma
homet that I read onco with Apple
gate, and It has been in my mind ov
er since," said tho poet yesterday.
"As I remember It, the piece wont
something like this: "If I had but
two loaves of bread, I would sell one
and buy n bunch of violets.' That
littlo thing appealed to mo then, nnd
it does does yet, whenever I think of
It. It combines this grent life and
tho 'admiration of tho soul for nnture
In such few words' that I havo
thought of the verse all through life
as a sort of text."
Mr. Miller recently contributed a
poem to tho Century Mngnzlne, en
titled "Missouri," tnking for his sub
ject the great river by that nnme.
"When did tho poem appear," he
was asked.
"I nm not aware that it has been
published," ho replied; "but I have
been paid for the article, Just tho
samo. Tho check .was tho biggest I
.vale, Cal., some years ago. For have ever received for a similar con-
nearly half a century tho first verse
about the woods and the birds of tho
now great man had been cherished
and preserved by his mother, who
died only a short time ago.
As ho thought of his first little
poem the old man seemed to look
back with pleasure upon tho dnys of
his youth. He meditated a moment,
and spoke the verse ns he had com
posed it at first, slowly, unevenly
and as though It were a task to re
call the poetry of his beginning.
But after speaking the lines he
brightened up and repeated tho piece
and talked of his boyhood days In
the country nnd of his Inspirations
taken from nnture.
The latest poetry written by the
famous poet of the Sierras appeared
in tho Sunset Magazine for April
It is entitled "That Night In Nica

today, claiming that ho had known
mo himself for moro thafi 50 years,"
ho remnrked. 'That's possible,' I
told him, for others have been nc-

Interesting Discoveries in Egypt
London, July 30. The recent dis
coveries made by tho expedition
under the auspices of tho British
school of archaeology in Egypt,
founded by Prof. Petrle, are of more
than ordinary Importance and inter
est. The greater part of tho work
was done In tho land of Goschen in
which the Israelites dwelt during
their prosperity under tho vizlrshlp
of Joseph, and also where, during
their bondage they built tho store
cities for Pharach. There was also
another problem to bo solved. Be
tween 2500 nnd 1C00 B. C. Egpyt
was overrun by a hordo of Asiatic
conquerors known as tho Hyksos.
Having subjugated Egypt, they built
a city in the fertile land of Goschen,
which they called Avarls. This city
has never been discovered, but Prof.
Petrlo has found the remains of a
camp city at Tel-al-Jerudlyah. An
other Important discovery was tho
finding- of the second store city built
by the Israelites and called Ramses.
It was Identified by Its ruins at Tol-el-Retabeh.
The ruins of tho temple
built by the Jewish high priest
Onins, who fled from tho persecu
tions under Antlochus Eplphancs,
were found in a mound on tho west
side of Tel-elJehudiyeh. Many im
portant and valuable antiquities
were unearthed by tho exploring
party andare now exhibition at Uni

they will remain to tho end of the
month. The work of the school has
been remarkably successful during

tion. At first she wns scon by only
n few, but later, when watch was
made, others distinctly saw tho
wraith hurrying through tho brush
nt night, tearing down fences and
wandering nbout near farm houses nt
early hours in tho morning. Farm
ers stayed up at night to capture tho
woman or discover who sho was. Sho
wns frequently seen, but those who
gnvo chnso wero unable to capture
her.
Two days ago tho sheriff's office
was notified, and three deputies wero
sent out to capture tho wild woman.
Tho deputy sheriffs returned empty

unable to find tho woman.
