LAST ROUNDUP OF HORSES
'Wild Equities of Washington Plaint
Will Be Corralled and
Branded.
Seattle, Wash. Thero Is to be n
roundup of 10,000 wild horses which
roam tlio plains south of tho Great
Northern tracks In tho Columbia river
bnsln. They will bo branded and many
or them sold. Between 600 and COO rid
ers wilt take part, starting from Eph
rata. '
This will bo tho last great roundup
In tho northwest, for tho settlement of
eastern Washington has made It Impos
sible for stockmen to ralso range horses.
Tho big stockmen will continue In tlu'
business -with their Inclosed pastures,
but the majority will gradually go out
of business,
Toby Hlchards, probably tho heaviest
owner of these horses, claims 4,6uo
head. Other growers have hundreds of
horses on tho range. Some of them
havo been branded, but most of tho
horses have never felt tho Btlng of tho
Iron.
As tho horses arc driven Into corrals,
located at convenient points on tho
prairie, each of tho owners will havo
to cut out his own. It Is customary In
these roundups for tho unbranded
horses to bo sold at auction nnd the
proceeds divided pro rata. This plau
will probably be followed In tho Eph
rata roundup.
There nro thousands of well-bred
horses running wild In tho paste. n
Washington ranges. The original herds
wero of common caytiKCs, but stockmen
and settlers havo for years been turning
Iooro thoroughbreds and lilglily-bretl
farm horses to roam with tho wild nnt
mals. The result has been that the class
of horses has been raised rapidly and It
Is liclleM'd hundreds of horses will be
rounded up that will bo fit for any work
when broken.
A big party of Seattlo men will go to
Ephratn to take part In tho roundup. A
party of railroad men In forming, and
In addition Dr. llartnagle, K. O. Jones,
of tho Lloyd Transfer company: Arthur
Bennett, editor of Speedway nnd Ken

FINDS $50,000 PAINTING.
Rare Work of Art Discovered by New
York Woman While
Dinting.
Now York. Mrs. Louisa MacNnmara,
who lives in the Bronx, a few days ago
wiped the dust and grease off the pic
ture that had hung over her kitchen
range ever since she had possessed one,
and found that she hud a great master
piece that has been lost to tho art world
for many years.
Thero has beon excitement In tho
MacNnmara household over sinco the
discovery was mado. That It is a
mnsterplcco Is assured by the decision
of nn expert named Henzlnger, who de
clares It Is worth about jSu.UUO.
Mrs. MacNaninrn h.is thought the
matter over and doeliled that, ns sho
lives in a frnmo hoiibc, and the great
work might bo lost to tho world of art If
u sudden firo should occur, eho will ac
cept tho price if anyone comes forward
to give It.
Tho painting Is supposed to bo by
Lovern, French artist, who pnlntcd In
the beglnlng of the seventeenth cen
tury. The subject of the painting U
"Tho Fortune Teller."
If cracks ami the genoral appearance
of ngo count for anything, thero can bo
little doubt that the picture that Mrs
MacNamara possesses Is old.

Tho proper vway to tako off glasses
Is to tako hold of tho bridge and lift
