Railroad Officials Greatly Impressed
With the Constant Demands by

About the Northwest and UmatilIa
County-TraveIing Railroad Agent
Gives Expert Opinion.

| Yesterday r. B. Wilson, travelling
freight and passenger agent for the
burlington route, was in the city and
the need of a booklet descriptive of
Umatilla county, to be sent TO per-
spective homeseekers, Mas by him
emphasized. According to Mr.. VIII
son, his road is constantly beset with
requests for information of the North
west. The company itself has no de-
tailed information that il can give
them, and depends upon the publica-
tions left with them by commercial
associations and similar organizations
to meet the call The circulars that
are sent out by transportation COM
panies are all of too general a nature
to be of value to particular sections,
and mainly show the scenic side of
the country.
In Mr.. Wilson's judgment, no bet
ter move to secure new people could
be made than to publish a suitable
booklet and have copies of the same
mailed to those who by their requests
for information have shown their in
terest in. and their partly formed in
sNhNiOh VI NOihii6 W hllN AbNtEl.
BY sending pamphlets to such people
they are placed where they will do
good, because they are already inter-
ested in the country
Booklets so distributed" said Mr..
Wilson, will do more good than did
those placed by the North Yakima
people last summer at the st. Louis
fair When such matters are handl-
ed at fair they are mixed up with
so many other schemes that they lose
their effectiveness, and besides many
are given to people who have no in
terest whatever in the matter
If booklet of Umatilla county is
to be prepared no time should be
lost, in Mr. Wilson's opinion. THE
homeseekers' rates go into effect on
March l. said he "and stream OF
people will be coming West. OF
course, the greater part of the rush
will not come until the fair is open
ed, but that will be only three months
later"

toward the issue become more fully
understood since the fight is over"
and the hopes of the promoters of
Hot Lake county have gone glimmer-
ing.
Senator Pierce is happy. The bill
introduced by Blakley early i'm the

Mcleod, of Union, led the fight
against the bill. He was opposed by
Jayne, representing the majority re-
port. Mcleod declared that the pc
tltioners for Union county had re-
sorted TO strained measures to make
a showing, and had Included in their
list the names of women and little
children, as well as the walters in
the Centennial hotel, of Union. The
proposed county. he said, contained
only three townships of agricultural
land, while the taxes were already sc
mills, with the prospect of being
doubled il the division were made.
He pleaded iH behalf of the farming
interests, whose burdens would be
increased, he said, while IL 1t affected
only the people of Union City he
would be in favor of letting them
have it. He alluded to the fact that
the panhandle" district had already
been cut from Union county.
Jayne said the proposed county
contained an assessed property val
uation of s1,265,O 900, more even than
Cascade county while it had a voting
population of 974. Besides this, he
believed it was just as easy to pay n
rdebt II It were cut in two as when
It was in a lump sum.
Linthicum favored the majority re-
port and said that the new county
proposed had more assessable proper
ty than several counties now estab-
lished.
Mcleod closed with the declaration
that the whole movement was mere
spite work growing out of the old
Union-La Grande county seat fight.
1t is claimed 81 votes were pledged
against the bill in the senate.
