POLITICAL.

The political situation in Missouri is
unchanged and it is rumored that Mr..
Niedringhaus will ultimately withdraw
if he sees no hope of breaking the dead
lock. In Delaware, J. Edward Addicks
is said to have drained his pocketbook,
and the members of the legislature will
hardly send poor man to the senate
when they can secure campaign funds
froma rich man. The DUPONT family,
of powder fame, are reported to be
richer than Addicks ever was, and now
negotiations have been opened with
them. Last week it seemed to be a
question whether T. Coleman DUPONT
or his uncle, Henry A. DUPONT, would
win the prize
D. w. Herbert of the Pittsburg Times,
writing from Harrisburg. last week,
said that Political conditions in Penn
sylvania are SO nervous just now that
the party managers take fright at
shadows. An ordinary rumor which in
other days would not have created a
ripple, throws the managers into a
season Of cold prespiration, and the big
gest of the big political bosses now
fancy they see things even while they
sleep. The conditions in Pittsburg and
Allegheny county are not the only
troubles now confronting the bosses.
Here in Harrisburg the friends and ad-
vocates of United States Senator Boies
Penrose were caught in the act of help
ing the Democratic candidate for mayor
Of Harrisburg Even the State machine
was unable to pull the Democrat
through, and real trouble in a political
way seems imminent. Had the ma
chine Republicans been able to make
the Democratic candidate for mayor
win his fight all trouble would have
been avoided, but regular Republican
who did not have the support of the
local machinists was elected mayor and
the followers Of Penrose are being ask
ed to explain.

Oil and Gas Notes.
The Market is 81. 80,


Gas Pressure-By rock preassure is
meant the natural pressure of the well.
The capacity of gas well is determined
in variety of ways. but the most COM
mon is by means of a guage. An ordl
nary steam guageis generally employed.
The minute pressure is taken and from
it is calculated the flow of the well.
The gate should be closed very quickly
when the pressure is taken. This is
multiplied by .07 and then by the cubic
feet the tubing contains. This will
give the number of cubic feet per min
ute.
a foot of 3 inch tubing contains .0491
cubic feet Hence 2,100 feet will con-
tain 103. II cubic feet of natural gas. If
a minute pressure by the guage show
ed 200 pounds. this multiplied by .07
gives / 5 and IA times 103. II would give
LAB "a cubic feet per minute. Multi
ply this by go and "a and you have the
capacity of the well for day.

The Local Option Meeting.

Judge Galbreath presided at the local
option meeting in the o. p. church,
Monday evening, and he, w. D. Bran
don, Prof. Gibson, J. d. Marshall, Rev.
Robinson and others made remarks
favoring the Berry local option bill.
It was voted and carried that the
Chairman select committee of five for
each ward to circulate the petitions in
favor of the Berry or a general local
option law, which carried in this coun-
ty, fifteen years ago by 2,400 majority.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That we, the citizens of
Butler, Butler county, Pennsylvania,
in mass meeting assembled, and having
before us the fact that bill known as
the Berry local option bill is now pend
ing in our Legislature, do express our
unqualified approval of the principle of
law involved in such legislation, mas
much as it gives to the electors of each
locality the power to decide the ques-
tion as to the granting of licenses for
the sale of Intoxicating beverages with
in their respective districts.
Resolved, That we earnestly request
our representatives in the general as
sembly to use all honorable means to
secure the passage of said bill or any
similar legislation.

Washington Notes.

On Thursday last President Roosevelt
issued proclamation convening the U.
s. Senate in extra session for March 4th,
next, to receive such communications
as may be made by the ex ecutive.
The significance of this call is that the
President will have executive business
for the Senate, which can hardly be
anything else than new cabinet appoint
ments. That Cortelyou will go to the
Postoffice Department and Wynne to
London has been understood for some
time. Attorney General Moody has
made no secret of his intention to re-
tire, and rumors are heard that Secre-
tary Morton will go at the same time.
The railroad rate or rebate bill now
pigeon -holded in the Senate, will die
with this Congress.
By vote Of 33 to 40 the Senate, Mon
day, refused to convict Judge Swayne
of the charges made against him. 1t
requires two-thirds vote to convict,
and 55 were necessary. The Republi-
cans voted for acquittal and the Demo
Gratis for conviction.
Next Saturday is Inauguration Day
at Washington, and the ceremonies
promise to be unusually elaborate as
there are to be many civil as well as
military organizations in the parade.
From Porto Rico the war department
will bring detachment of soldiers,
there will be representatives of the
Filipinos and Rough Riders from the
west.
The Senate Tuesday, passed the In
dian appropriation bill, and Senator
Kearns of Utah, whose term expires
this week, stated in speech that the
Mormons have absolute control of the
politics and business of that state.
James R. Garfield, head of the bureau
OF corporations, has completed his re-
port of the investigation of the beef
trust, which he has been conducting for
more than a year, and it will prob
ably be made public to-day. 1t has
been submitted to the president and
will be sent to congress and given to the |
press as soon as it is read by the presi-
dent. The report will clearly show the |
packers in the combination have enjoyed |
rebates and other secret advantages
over their smaller rivals. Specific in
stances of the giving of these rebates
are given. The Santa Fe railroad, of
which Paul Morton, the secretary of
the navy, was so long vice president
and traffic chief, is not included in the
list of railroads giving rebates to the
packers combination.

SOME OF the newspaper correspond
ents are criticizing the present House of
Representatives at Harrisburg for not
doing more, it having passed but two
trifing bills during two months
But doing nothing is better than doing
wrong, and it should be remembered
that it is on the homestretch at Harris
burg that snakes wriggle and jobs
flourish" There are some things, how
ever, that should be done-our game
laws should be changed, and so should
our road laws. Why wouldn't com
bination of the present state-aid road
law and the Finn road law make
things move?

Municipal Politics.

The new Town Council which will or
ganize next Tuesday evening March Z,
will elect City Clerk, City Solicitor.
Surveyor, Treasurer, Street Commls-
sioner, Sewer Inspector and Chief of
Police. All those who are at present
holding these offices are applicants for
reelection, and as the new Council
stands ten Republicans to five Demo
! Gratis, large number of Republicans
have suddenly become ambitious to
serve the borough for a small remuner-
alton.
Hunter Coulter believes he can again
become Clerk and Solicitor, positions he
has held for decade past, but James
B. Mates, W. c. Findley, Charles b.
Miller and others are applicants for the
double job There is said to be dispo-
sition among Councilmen to separate
the Jobs, and friends of A. T. Black, a.
NJ. Christley, J. NJ. Painter and others
are mentioning them for Solicitor. The
Solicitorship pays S400 year and the
Clerkship 5000
Street Commissioner is worth S65 a
month and Councilman Edward Lantz,
present Commissioner George Noulett,
Jacob Rieger, James Huselton, Henry
Wagner. Chris Hinchberger. W. P.
Brown and others are applicants.
Chief of Police Schultz is candidate
for reelection and Policeman Edward
Hoover is ambitious for the honor. The
Chief receives $40 per month more than
the other policemen.
For City Surveyor, the best of the
Councilmanic gifts, Fred NJ. Harper,
present incumbent, and c. f. L. Nc
QUESTION are candidates.
For Sewer Inspector Harry Grieb,

VIM. H Craig and others are applicants.

W. F. Rumberger is candidate to
succeeded himself as Treasurer, which
pays a commission of one per cent, but
| it is said local banks offer to perform
| the duties OF the office free or cnarSe,
for the sake of the business, and as this

some Coupcilmen favor trying this
plan.
THE fty-eighth Congress will ex-
pire with this week, and though the
session of this winter has been an inter

The session will be principally remem

not meet till December next. The
President has called the Grand Du

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-12-23

Last evening most OF the Umatilla
county sheepmen who attended the
forest reserve meeting at ,Walla Wal
Ia, returned to Pendleton. Among
those who came over we're w. M.
slusher. j. N. Burgess, John Wynn,
Aaron Cole, Frank Hilbert. Rugg
Bros, ]. l.. Smith and B. d. Smith.
When seen here this morning Mr..
Burgess. who is manager OF the Cum
ningham sheep & Land company,
gave the following summary of the
proceedings.
AS a result OF the division Of the
Wenaha forest reserve which has
Just been made at Walla Walla, 1t
seems there will hereafter be $4,000
fewer sheep upon that range than
was summered there during the past
season. During last summer It is
estimated that 275, 900 head OF sheep
were run on the range now included
in the reserve. Next summer but
800, 900 head will be allowed. OF this
number about 5000 head will be
from Umatllla county, and most OF
district number /. which comprises
$1,000 acres In the southern part OF
the reserve. For the privilege Of
using the range sheepmen will pay s
cents for each sheep. and two lambs
will count as one sheep"
According to Mr.. Burgess IL was
apparent throughout the meeting
that the government Intended to
guard the interests of the small cat
tlemen. In fact, as much was stated
openly by Ranger Schmtz, who said
the small cattlemen were the home
builders and consequently were enti-
tied to first consideration.
At the start both sheep and cattle
men were divided into three classes
Those having land adjoining the re-
serve or near II. and who had been
using the range within the reserve,
were placed in class a. Those having
land at n distance and who had not
used the range were put in class B.
while all transients were placed in
class c. The range was then divided
among the various applicants accord
ing to their classification. AS there
were too many sheep for the amount
Of range allotted the sheepmen, only
those In class A and r were allotted
range.
While he says disadvantages arise
at first over the creation and leasing
Of a reserve. Mr.. Burgess believes the
system works benefit when once in
use. The leasing of reserve settles
all disputes as to grazing rights, and
each sheepman knows just what he
can depend upon. In the Cascades
the sheepmen have been benefited by
the reserve. and he belives such will
be the case in the Blue mountains.
