MURDER NEAR MADRAS.
Prepetrator and Victim Both Warm
Spring Indians.


Prineville, May 10.-Yesterday, at
point about a mile north of Mad
ras, Robert Holt killed James Stako-
ny. Both men are Warm Springs In
dians and Stakony is citizen.
Stakony, who acts as a peace Off
Ger on the reservation, was taking
Holt home, the latter being in a bad
state of intoxication. On the way to
the agency, near Madras, they met
a rancher to whom Holt offered a
drink from his demijohn of whiskey,
insisting on his partaking of it.
Stakony interferred, and the rancher
drove on.
A few minutes later another ranch
er met Holt madly galloping in flight,
A little farther on in the road he
came on Stakonys body lying across
his path. Holt had apparently knock
ed him from his horse with his demi-
john, then, while his victim lay dazed,
hunted a rock with which to finish
his deed. The murderer did not cross
the ferry landing to the agency, and
the last report from Madras said his
whereabouts were unknown.
Stakony was a man of some means,
He had a ranch and about 90 acres
in grain. His wife and son were at
Madras this morning.

Chicago, May 10.-The visit of
President Roosevelt to Chicago was
the diverting feature of the strike sit
uation today. Recognizing the i'm
portance of showing peaceful condi-
tions, the labor leaders made strenu-
Gus efforts to prevent their following
from being the responsible originat-
ors of disturbances. The wet, cold
weather aided them materially.
The plan of Presidents Dold and
Shea of the labor unions, to meet the
president in Iowa and ask him to
mediate the strike, is abandoned, and
the two labor leaders will make an
effort to see the president during his
visit here today The employers say
they will not bother the president with
strike affairs.

Chicago, May 10.-The president
arrived at the Northwestern station at
noon, promptly Oh schedule time. A
large crowd surrounded the station,
which was gaily festooned with flags
and bunting. One hundred fifty pa
trolmen kept the crowd back and
made way for the presidents carriage.
Chief O'Neil led the procession in
a carriage, followed by so mounted
police. Then came an escort of cav
airy surrounding the carriage in
which were the president, Governor
Deneen, Mayor Dunno and President
wacker of the Merchants club. The
procession moved east on Kinzie to
the Rush street bridge, thence south
to the auditorium. The president
was repeatedly cheered along the
route.

Goodbye to Train Crew.

After shaking hands with the re-

thanked the crew for the safe trip.
Fifteen thousand people followed
the presidents carriage down Kinzie.
all trying TO catch glimpse of the
executive. The windows were crowded
with people, all cheering the presi-
dent. The procession halted Is min
utes at the Rush street bridge to
await the passage of a big lake steam
er, which gave the crowd a good
chance to look at the president, who
did not seem annoyed by the delay.
Few minutes after his arrival at the
Auditorium the president sat down to
luncheon with the Merchants club.

JUDGE BELLINGER I'LL.
Well Known Jurist Is in n Critical
Condition.

Portland, May 10.-Judge Charles
B. Bellinger, of the United States dis
trict court is believed to lie at the
point of death. Although superfic-
tally there were signs of improvement
for a time today, the belief of ply
sicians is that he may die within As
hours.
Judge Bellinger has been i'll for
several days, having been prostrated
with what at first was thought to be
merely the grip. In the last few days,
however, the illness has developed in
to more serious complications, and it
is said now that some battling form
of septic poisoning has innoculated
the system, and that, with his strength
somewhat wasted from the sickness
of the preceding days, ne may not re-
cover.

BUYS INTO HOTEL PENDLETON

w, A. Brown, of Portland, has pur-
chased the Fred Waite interest in the
Hotel Pendleton, and has assumed
the management of the business,
which will be conducted in the future
under the name of Bollons & Brown.
The new manager of Pendleton's
large and well known hostelry, is a
hotel man of many years experience,
and consequently is well qualified to
fill his present responsible position.
For some time past Mr., Brown has
been connected with the dining car
service of the Hartman lines, and
has been on both the Southern Paci-
fic and o. r. & N. company's lines
out of Portland.
In speaking of the hotel today Mr..
Brown said that It would be conduct

VIII Not Bother the President.

The plan to seek an interview with
the president has been abandoned by
the labor leaders. 1t was decided no
good could be accomplished by any
further effort to lay before the presi-
dent the labor side of the situation.
Not a single serious disturbance
was reported to the police up to noon.
Other than perhaps seeing an extra
number of police about the streets,
the president will probably witness no
unusual scenes in Chicago.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-05-10

ed along the same lines as it has been
in the past, and that the same force
now employed will be retained. f. H.
Gardner, the present day clerk, and
Joe Kimmeray, night clerk, will both
continue in their present positions.
The owners of the hotel have prom
ised to add one or two more stories
to the building, and also an electric
elevator as soon as business shall JUS
tify, which is now said to be the
case. Consequently, there is prob
ability of the improvement being
made in the near future. When such
is done there will also be other
changes made in the arrangement Of
the building, so that it will be the
finest hotel In the state outside of
Portland.

Forty dollars per acre is the est-
mate made by the board Of consult
ing engineers for the cost of reclaim
ing lands under the Malheur project.
This amount will also include the
drainage of land and maintenance for
10 years.
The above was learned this morn
ing from John T. Whistler, who re-
turned at o'clock from Malheur
county, where he has been for the
past week with the consulting engi-
neers. To the East Oregonian Mr..
Whistler stated that the members Of
The board had gone over the land
covered by the Malheur project and
also the lands along the Owyhee,
which it is hoped can be reclaimed
under the same project. From the
complete plans and information In
the possession of the engineers it was
decided to place the estimate for rec
lamation and maintenance for 10
years, at $40 per acre. The former
estimate placed the cost of reclama-
ton at $50, but the expense of main
tenance for 10 years was not included
in that amount.
According to Mr.. Whistler, the peo-
pie of Malheur county are disap-
pointed over the findings of the
board, and the members themselves
were in hopes the cost could be es-
timated at lower figure. However,
such is impossible. Still, it is gen.
orally regarded that the land under
the project is worth the reclamation
price. and it is thought the govern
ments offer will be accepted, espec-
tally If convenient terms can be Sc
cured by the settlers.
Ten Annual Payments.
Under the reclamation act it is stat
ed that 10 annual payments shall be
made to the government, but it is not
specified when the payments shall
commence, nor if they shall be uni
form in amount. Consequently, it is
hoped that an arrangement may be
made with the secretary of the inter-
ior whereby the payments may be
graduated, commencing with small
amount and becoming larger each
year, as will also the land be increas-
ing in value and productiveness. It
is also thought that the secretary will
be petitioned to allow the payments
to be deferred until the land has been
used for one or two seasons.
As the estimate of the cost of the
Malheur work has been changed, 1t
will be necessary for new contracts to
ha 10 hx- e,
the government, the old contracts be-
ing made for $50 per acre. All of the
private owners excepting the military
road company had Joined the asso-
citation and signed contracts with the
government. The road company has
thus far failed to join the association
and comply with the requirements,
but it is thought an understanding
can be reached with them whereby
They own one-third of the land under
the project, and it will be necessary
for them to sell their holdings to
small owners before it can be re-
claimed, as the law provides that not
more than 100 acres shall be reclaim
ed for one man. All of the land of
the project will be plated into farms
of 40, so, 120 and 100 acre tracts, 1t
being the purpose to make the farms
of equal value as near as possible.
Umatllla Scheme Not Estimated.
"The Umatilla project was not con-
sidered in detail at the recent meet
ing, for the reason that the cost of the
John Day diversion would be too great
to be undertaken now. and to take
