ELKiNs is OPPOSED.
He Tells President Why Extra Session
is Unnecessary.

Washington, May 80. - Senator Ell
kins, chairman Of the Interstate Com.
merce commission, in conference told
the president that his commission
would reassemble two or three weeks
before the next session of congress,
whether it be extraordinary or regular,
and report on the recent hearings on
railroad rate legislation. At that ses-
sion of the commission the nature Of
the bill to be submitted to the senate
will be determined.
Senator Eklins urged the president
not to call congress into extraordinary
session, maintaining that, as the ses-
sion beginning on the first Monday in
December would be the long session,
congress would have ample time to
consider all questions of Importance
without a special session. He ex-
pressed to the president the opinion
that senators and representatives gen
orally hoped the president would not
call them into extraordinary session.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who
talked briefly to the president, ex.
pressed the same wish.
The president has not indicated def.
nitely his purpose as to calling an extra
ordinary session, although he has con
sidered seriously the fixing of the date
about the middle of October.

GRAZING IN NEW RESERVES.
No Restrictions This Year Pending
Study of Conditions.

Washington. May 30. - The secre-
tary of agriculture today issued an or
der directing that no restriction be
placed upon the grazing of stock within
new forest reserves that have been or
may be created this year.
There has been considerable concern
among the sheep and cattlemen of the
West on account of the creation of new
reserves, which include considerable
areas of what has heretofore been pub
lie range. Many letters received by
the department indicate that stockmen
fear they are to be deprived of thier
range on short notice. In justice to
these stock interests, Secretary Wilson,
on recommendation of the Forestry
bureau, decided to impose no restric-
tions within the new reserves this
summer.
However, investigations are now be-
ing made to determine how many sheep
and cattle may safely be admitted, and !,
based on these Investigations, restric-
tions will be imposed next year, and a
grazing season will be set for each in
dividual reserve, to be regulated by
climatic and range conditions. Today s
order applies to new reserves in Oregon
and Idaho, and will apply to new re-
serves soon to be established in these
states and in Washington.

END NOT IN SIGHT.
Chicago Labor Unions All Planning
for Long Struggle.


Chicago, May 80. = Nothing devel-
oped today that would indicate an i'm
mediate settlement of the teamsters'
strike, which has been in progress for
nearly two months. That the labor
unions are of the belief that the fight
will be long one was demonstrated at
the meeting of the Chicago Federation
of Labor today, when arrangements
were made for holding strike demon
stration July 5. According to the pres
ent plans It is the intention to hold a
monster parade of the strikers and the
affiliated unions unless the controversy
has been ended before that date.
At the meeting today each union
affiliated with the central body was
represented Ly three delegates at the
request of President Dold. The strike
situation was discussed in all its de-
tails and the sentiment of the meeting
was that the teamsters should continue
the fight until the seven express COM
panies should offer some sort of COM
promise. The officials of the express
companies are still obdurate in their
declaration that no concessions need be
looked for from their side, so the mat
ter of settlement through this channel
seems as remote as ever.

FILES ON THE KLAMATH BASIN.
Government Secures Itself Against

Government Secures Itself Against
Spectators in Irrigation Tract.
Salem - The United States govern
ment has filed in the Office of State
Engineer John Fl. Lewis, notice Of
intention to appropriate all the unused
waters of Malheur river and of the
Klamath basin. This notice is given
under the irrigation act passed by the
last legislature, and serves to prevent
any water rights which will conflict
with the governments needs. The
government has three years within
which to file its plans and begin the
construction of its irrigation system
The filing of the notice gives the gov
ernment protection against speculators
during that time.
A. R. Black, of Eugene, has fled in
the Office of the state engineer notice
of his appropriation of the waters Of
Waldo lake, in Lane county, for irriga-
tion purposes. His notice was filed in
the Office of the county clerk of Lane
county, but under the new law it must
be filed in the office of the state engin.

TITLE Is CLEAR.
Government Accepts Right of Way to
Cello Canal.


Cello Canal.
Washingtn, May 29.-TEe United
States government today formally ac-
cepted title to the right of way for The
Dalles-Celilo canal, and early this week
Major Langftt will be instructed to ad-
vertise for bids for construction of the
upper lock and approaches, for which
$500, 900 was appropriated last session.
Title to the right of way was examined
and approved some weeks ago. Today
the attorney general examined the deed
from the state, and, finding it regular,
advised the secretary of war that he
could, under the law, proceed with
construction of the canal.
This means that the work of con-
struction will commence early in the
summer, and there is money enough on
hand to continue it until congress has
an opportunity to make a further ap-
preparation. If the original intention
is carried out, the Oregon, Washington
and Idaho delegations will attempt
next session to have The Dalles canal
made a continuing contract, in order
that appropriations may be made an
nually until the total cost of 81, ,O0O,-
900 has been appropriated.

TAX ON TRAVELLING STOCK.
Supreme Court Will Pass on Validity
of Recent Law.

OF recent Law
Salem-A suit has been brought in
Lake county to test the validity of the
act of the last legislature specifying the
manner in which livestock shall be as
sessed and the taxes thereon shall be
paid. The new law provides that when
livestock is assessed, the tax shall be
then paid or secured at the rate of levy
for the preceding year, and that when
such stock is driven into another coun-
ty for pasturage. it shall be assessed
there and the owner shall pay tax to
that county according to the time the
stock was pastured therein. The owner
can recover from the first county such
portion of his tax as he paid to the Sec
ond county.
The purpose of the law was to place
a restriction upon the driving of stock
into this state from other states, or
from one county to another, the object
being to lessen the range troubles.
A suit was brought by Lake county
to enforce the payment of the tax, and
the defendant set up by demurrer that
the law is unconstitutional becausel it
requires payment of a tax at rate diff
ferent from the rate charged upon other
classes of property. 1t is understood
that the court sustained the demurrer
and that the case will be appealed to
the Supreme court at once, SO that the
question may be settled.
