The investigation that is now being
made at the reservation for the pur-
pose of Strengthening out the wrangle
that has prevailed among the Off
GERS there, is by no means the most
important feature of the visit of Pri-
vate Secretary Valentine to the Uma-
tilla agency. According to that Off
cial the investigation is in fact but a
mere detail compared with the other
and broader mission upon which he
has been sent. This is to ascertain
what course should be taken regard
ing the Indians when the time of their
allotments is up and patents for their
land will be Forthcoming.
Shall the Indian be placed exactly
as any other citizen and left entirely
to his own resources, or shall he still
be retained TO certain extent as a
ward of the government? This is the
question that must be answered before
many years, and it is to gather infor-
nation bearing on this subject that
the private secretary to the commits
sioner of Indian affairs is now here.
To this end the Indians themse Ives
are being closely studied by Mr.. Val
entine, who has now been among them
tow weeks and has travelled over al
most every part of the reservation
within that time.
Mr.. Valentine was in town last eve
ming and left this morning on horse
back for the agency to attend an In
dian council which was to meet at s
o'clock. Regarding the progress of
the investigation that is now being
made into the administration of af-
fairs at the agency he refused to make
any statements, as the entire matter
must be referred to his chief before
it is made public, However, he stated
that it was the intention of the de-
partment to require a strict observ-
ance of the rules of the department,
and also of loyal service on the part
of all officials ....

When it is remembered that there
are almost S,O00O00 acres in the La
Grande land district, the magnitude
and convenience of the books may be
imagined.
Before this set of books was origin
ated it was necessary to hunt up given
tracts on the general plats in the of
flee and before its present status
could be determined all the records OF
the office would have to be followed
up to note the record of the tract

known is the only set in use in the

From all indications wheat harvest
will be generally commenced on the
reservation on Monday. During the
past week the machines have been
running in barley, and now that that
has been cut and headers and thresh-
ers will be started in the wheat. While
some wheat has been cut during the
past week, most of the work has been
in the barley. In some instances
threshers have been started in wheat
fields and have been forced to lay off
for a few days waiting for the grain
to mature more fully.
In the northern part of the reserva-
ton, around Athena, it is said that
but little will be done for week yet,
that portion being behind the section
south or just east of Pendleton.
According to the buyers who have
been traversing the county frequently
of late, the harvest will not COM
mence in earnest in the vicinity of He
lix and along the line of the w. & C.
r, for a. week or 10 days yet, as prac-
tically all of the wheat of that section
is spring sown, However, in the por-
ton west of there, comprising the
Cold Springs neighborhood, it is said
that considerable grain has already
been cut, some being fall wheat and
the rest very early spring sown.
Good Crop on Highlands.
4 As to the damage that was inflict-
ed on tie spring grain in the high-
land section of the county, reports are
conflicting, some maintaining that no
damage was done, while others affirm
that the yield will be lessened by from
three to five bushels per acre as a
result of the hot weather last week.
However, all are agreed that, regard
less of any damage that may have
been sustained, the outlook in that
portion is unusually good, and that
the general yield will probably be
about as it was last year, while some
say that it will be better. Much 25'
bushel wheat is looked for in tina
portion, and in many instances th'
yield will be as high as 35 bushels
while on the other hand some may
drop as low as Is in places.

In case of a fire in that locality this
cart and hose can be used by the res
idents, until the firemen reach the
fire. 1t is urged by Fire Chief Brown
that the residents of the high school
hill and vicinity organize a volunteer
hose company and apply to the city
council for incorporation. Every other
part of the city is supplied with a fire
company, and if small company
would organize in that vicinity the en-
tire city would be covered with fire
men living in each district.
