UMATlLLA RETAILERS PETITION
THAT YEARLY LICENSE BE
FIXED AT $500
Court Holds That Matter Cannot a.
Adjusted Until the First of the
Coming Year

Wholesale and retail merchants of
Umatilla county are up in arms against
travelling takers who have been visit
ing various parts of the county selling
cheap wares. Several implement and
hardware dealers of Weston, Milton
and Freewater have petitioned the
Umatilla county court to fix the IL
cense of these vendors at $500 a year.
The matter was taken up Monday but
County Judge Bean held that the court
could not act authoritatively until the
January session of 1906.
At that time it is probable that the
limit of $500 will be fixed by the coun-
ty court and in the meantime travelling
vendors will be required to pay 5000 for
the privilege of selling their wares.
The reason that the court could not
grant the petition at present is that
the new law regulating the matter is
not as yet operative
The petition is as follows:
1--WE, your petitioners, citizens IF
Umatilla county, state of Oregon, be-
lieving it to be against the best inter-
ests of the people of said county and

maximum sum of $500, and we ever

MAGAZINES
Everybody,s MAGAZINE

Over the whole continent-in the
east, in the middle, in the west-graft
has set it's talons. Do you want the
facts? Everybody's for May is full Of
them: facts about Mr. Rogers and the
Amalgamated; facts about the land
thieves; facts about the beef trust;
facts about the people ruined by the
graft of business by whatever name
it is called.
AS with a search light, Mr.. Lawson,
in the May installment of his "Fren-
zied finance" illumines the dark doings
of the rapacious System He lays
bare the workings of the Standard Oil
crowd, whose motto is Extract Every
Dollar!" He tells how Mr.. Rogers in
building up the Amalgamated decided
to sell the Daily, Haggin, Tevis prop
critics rather than those which mad
been promised to investors because he
could make more out of such a shuttle,
and he forced the old firm of Lewisohn
Brothers to sell it's great business for
less than half it's value-one of the
many personal tragedies in the for
nation of the great copper companies.
The heartlessness of those driven by
the money-lust was never shown more
clearly than by Mr.. Lawson in his in
misunderstanding is sacred to it,
nothing safe that stands in it's way.
There is but one god, Money, and the
Standard Oil is it's chiefest prophet.

On Historic Churchill Downs.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 10.-This Is
the opening day of the Louisville rae
ing season, a season which promises
to be one of the best held mere in re-
cent years. At Churchill Downs this
morning the railbirds gathered In
force seeking to get in line and form
their final judment on the form of the
candidates for the cheief event of the
day-the classic Kentucy Derby. With
Agile, RAMS Horn, DR.. Lego, Ivan

tered, the race promises to be the best
3-year-oId event of the west this sea-
son. The three favorites are Agile

You attend Baseball

young woman who claims to have
been injured by IA foul ball. While a
spectator at the Polo Grounds a foul
ball smote her on the nose. The doc.

damages, In the sum of $500 against
the New York Clubs management.
The compliments counsel asserted
that the management was responsible
for everything that went wrong on the
grounds and that the woman's injury
was clearly due to the lack Of proper
safeguards, The Justice, however,
ruled that those who entered the
grounds did so at their own risk.

Washington, d. c., June 20. - The

Moody's recent protest, published In
these columns, is case in point. Al
the same time the Navy Department
did its level best to preserve its Sc
crets, arising from the naval maneu.
yers In Chesapeake Bay, and the
White House, which Is one OF the best
fortified places In Washington for
keeping news from the public, owing
to the fact that whatever news there
is passes through few hands, is hold
ing on to all secrets about the pending
peace proposals between Russia and
Japan. The question Is, can the
American public, whose hunger for
news is only minutely reflected by the
newspapers, be taught the secretive-
ness practiced by the Japanese?
Prolonged Two Years by Newsp apers.
A newspaper man in Washington,
who served in the Union army during
the Civil War and whose experience In
newspaper work makes him a compe-
tent judge, recently asserted privately
that the Civil War was prolonged two
years by the newspapers. The aggres-
siveness of the war correspondents on
both sides frequently tipped of to the
enemy the movements OF their antago-
nists and In more than one instance
made a crushing blow a mere pigmy

would undoubtedly have been forced
to take more coercive measures to
suppress information than 1t did. The
attitude OF the Government at that
time In giving out information as soon
as an event had happened now shows
up glaringly In comparison with the
Japanese, who successfully suppress
ed the official information Of the loss
of a battleship for a full year.
Three years ago the British Govern
ment undertook to put the screws on
leaks during naval maneuvers similar
to the maneuvers now going on In and
around Washington. They applied the
japanese system OF allowing their sol
diers to receive communications from
home, forwarded through the Naval
Office, but refused to permit them to
communicate with home. In their en-
deavors they were fairly successful. A
former naval attache of this Govern
ment at London told the other day
Of his endeavor to communicate with
a man on one of the British ships,
whose mother was anxious to inform
him of important family news. He
was utterly unable to secure reply
from the son until the maneuvers had
been completed.

CAN DRILL Chinese

New York, June 25.-Reformers in
Chinatown were thrown into excite.
ment tonight by news that the Chinese
Government had lodged a protest at
Washington against the drilling of
Chinese troops in this country. The
Celestial Government fears these men
are to be used In a revolution against
the Empress and the court party at
home. The information came as a
shock, for they had been believing that
their work In organizing and drilling
was understood to be merely a social
and not revolutionary movement.
Homer Lee, who is organizing the
recruits in association with Kwang
Yue Wei, the great reformer, is well
known in this city, almost as well, in
fact, as he is In Los Angeles. He is a
teacher of Chinese and a great mis-
sionary among them, and members of
the reform association said that he
would never assent to the use of his
services in a propaganda that means
warfare or rebellion.
1T is absolutely untrue that we
have been drilling to raise troops to
fight the Emperor" said T. NJ. Single

form Association. 81 know from whom

given out by our enemies in the hope
that 1t will injure us in our work for

DEWEY SEES MENACE
IN NEW ALLIANCE

WASHINGTON discussion OF
general naval subjects and their con
nection with the alliance between
Great Britain and Japan. Admiral
Dewey, the head of the American navy
and president of the general naval
board, gave some of the reasons which
prompted his recent comment upon
the desirability of the United States
strengthening It's navy by the addition
of battleships Of the highest class and
heavy armament
Admiral Dewey belives that the al
lance between Great Britain and
Japan means that the United States
must be prepared to maintain the po-
sition II occupies In the orient.
Admiral Dewey also spoke of the
results which attended observations
by our experts and those of Great
Britain in the naval battle OF the Rus
so-Japanese war. Japan was secretive
and denied American experts access
to her fleets during engagements. The
British experts had full swing.
Admiral Dewey asserts that the
splendid gun fire and discipline of the
Japanese was due in large measure
to their having in the fleet n rear
admiral to every three vessels, and
perfect command was secured through
out. But the chief feature of his OBJ
servations in his opinion that the Jap
anese-British alliance and the infor-
nation which Great Britain obtained
in the war constitute the moving rea-
sons why the United States should get
busy to strengthen Its navy with high
power ships.

NO NEW JAPANESE LOAN.
The Last Borrowed Money Will Be
Used to Repatriate Troops.

LONDON. - Koretriyo Takahashi,
the financial agent of Japan, who will
return soon to America, says there
is no definite project for a new Japa-
nese loan nor have steps been taken
for the conversion of the old loans.
He anticipated, however, that the fl
nancial program to be submitted at
the coming session Of the diet will
propose a new loan to liquidate the
high priced bonds now outstanding
The last loan is still intact and will
suffice to repatriate the Japanese
armies in Manchuria and defray the
expenses of their rehabilitation Re-
garding pensions and compensations
to widows and others, they will be
paid in government bonds which
probably will remain in possession of
the beneficiares longer than cash.

THE PRESIDENT is
IN DEAD EARNEST

WASHINGTON, ID. c. - Congress
man Townsend OF Michigan, one Of
the authors of the Esch-Townsend
rate bill which passed the house last
session. called on the president. He
talked about railroad legislation and
about the ssity of making some
changes in the bill as it passed last
year, prior to it's submission in the
next congress. He is to call again
when the subject will be gone into
fully.
THE president introduced the con-
versation with the remark that he is
in dead earnest aDout the question"
said Townsend. "He is just as de-
termined as ever. The president is
in favor of the same ideas that he
advanced in the last message, and
that means the principle of Esch-
Townsend bill"
Mr.. Townsend said he expected the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce to prepare some sort Of a rail

CANAL WORK MAY
Be POSTPONED

WASHINGTON 49, Secretary Taft
will, at the first opportunity, take up
with the president the proposition to
transfer the control of the whole mat
ter of the construction OF the Panama
canal from the war department to the
state department. II was his inten.
ton to discuss the matter with the
president ut his conference Tuesday
night, but the lack of time prevented
his doing so. The question was
brought up some time ago, but for
various reasons 1t was postponed to
n more favorable occasion.
Since the Spanish American war in.
volving the acquisition of the Philip
pines, the work of the war department
has greatly increased and the sugges-
ton that transfer to the state depart
ment of the canal work with its many
perpleXing questions which are bound
to come up has been under considera.
ton. Secretary Taft. 1t is known. is
willing that transfer should be made.
