H. NJ. Adams, assistant general
freight agent of the o. r. q N. and
]. Fl. O'Neill, travelling passenger
agent of the same system, are In the
city this afternoon from Walla Walla
on a tour of the lines. Mr.. Adams
is elated over the prospects for heavy
wheat crop and heavy wool clip in
Umatilla county this year. and ex-
presses surprise at the remarkable
Improvement in the breed of sheep
in this county.
"Ten years ago six and seven
pounds per fleece were considered
good averages for range sheep In
Eastern Oregon and now they tell me
you are shearing sheep in this coun-
ty that average ~ pounds each.
"This is the most remarkable story
I have listened to for many n day. II
proves what can be done by intelli-
gent husbandry and systematic Ia
Dor. It costs no more to care for
one of your Rambouillets shearine
10 pounds than It did to care for a
scrub shearing six pounds, and you
have twice the weight OF mutton and
twice the weight of wool on the same
hoof It reads like a romance and
yet I do not doubt 1t, when 1 thinl
of the wonderful progress made ii
other industrial lines in your coun.

policy 1 believe will encourage the
building of new roads and of new en-
terprises of all kinds. However, It is
the only equitable method of arriv-
ing at a true valuation of property
for purposes of taxation.
"As to attending the assessors con-
vention at Arlington two years ago,
think / gave a very good reason
at that time for my absence. 1t Will
be remembered that that convention
was called quite late in the season,
after other property had been assessed
at the various rates prevailing in the
different counties. Consequently, it
was impossible to fix a uniform value
on railroad property while other
property was not so assessed.
"As to the recent assessors conven-
ton in Portland, it will be remem-
bered that 1 prepared a paper, which
was published in the Portland Jour
nal, and which set forth my views as
strongly as am able to present them.
"Now, then, l propose to meet any
representative of the railroad, or any
of their friends or apologists before
the taxpayers of Baker county or of
any other county, and discuss this
matter face to face with the taxpayers
as jury. Finally, as a proof of the
justice of my valuation of the o. r &
N. property l desire to cite the fact
they are fighting the payment of their
tax in this county solely upon tech
nicalities. They have never produced
any proof which even tends to show
that their assessment is too high"

ty and Eastern Oregon"
Mr.. Adams assures the people of
Pendleton that his department is
ready to assist Umatilla county in
any possible way to increase business,
widen out the industrial possibilities
or bring new enterprises into the
county.
Mr.. O'Neill, who is known by every
man, woman and child along the O.
II. & N, system has been busy for the
past three weeks since the tourist
rush began, learning the names of the
tourists babies an danswering dues-
tions of the great northwest, the
Mecca of the crowds now coming
Westward.
He believes Umatilla county will
receive its share of the substantial
settlers that are now leaving the
crowded Eastern states and hopes to
be able to direct many OF them to
this county to become citizens. His
department is one of the busiest on
the system at this time and the busy
days have not yet arrived.
He believes Portland will take care
of the immense crowds in a graceful
manner and will do all in his power
to direct the homeseeker to that Sec
ton of the state best suited to his
ability and occupation.

WILL INVESTIGATE THE U. z.
Stockholders Are Dissatisfied With
Hartman.

New York, March 25.-There is
talk today of a protective committee
of Union Pacific stockholders to in
vestigate the property and the Har-
riman management. 1t is believed
that the investigation will show that
the control rests elsewhere than in
the hands of Hartman and his
friends, and an appeal may be made
under the laws of Utah, under which
the company is organized, to put the
real owners in control. The law per-
mits the ousting of a minority man
agement on 80 days notice. The SELL
ing of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific. which recently unsettled
the stock market is traced to Har-
riman, according to good authorities.
1t was said that, realizing his loss of
control, he was liquidating his hold
ings regardless OF the consequences.
Morgan and Rockefeller brokers
have quietly absorbed the Union Pa
cific stock thrown over by the Har-
riman brokers, and II is beginning to
dawn in the street that Hartman no
longer represents the Rockefeller in
terests, as intimately as he once did.

REMOVAL OF LAND OFFICE.
VIII Be Transferred July I From Or
egon City to Portland.

Portland, March 25.-President
Roosevelt has signed the order d.
recting the removal of the land office
at Oregon City to Portland. The date
at which the change is to be made is
left to the discretion of the commits
sioner of the general land office. 1t
is believed that the change will go
into effect on July l, at which time
the offices and equipment will be
installed in new quarters at Portland.
The announcement of the order for
the removal came as somewhat Of a
surprise to Senator Fulton, who Is
said to have regarded the matter as
deferred indefinitely. This opinion
was based on the fact that no action
was taken on the matter when the
change was advocated by himself and
Senator Mitchell a year or so ago. In
the opinion of the senator the change
was made by the administration for
reasons OF economy purely.

Enormous Military Supplies.

st. Petersburg, March 25.-The
publication by the Army Organ to-
day of figures showing the strength
of the forces dispatched to the Far
East, has created a sensation in mil
itary circles, and the war office is
being freely criticised for revealing
military secrets.
The figures given show that up to
March IL the war office had dis
patched 1907 officers, 761,467 men,
146,4OS horses, 1921 guns and 1885,
321 tons of ammunition and sup
plies to the front, declaring that
their transportation has strained
the Siberian railway to its utmost
capacity
The Army Organ admits that the
Russian troops in the Far East at the
beginning of the war did not exceed
so, 200, and denies that Russian Of
ficials failed TO properly estimate the
strength of Japanese military re-
sources, but frankly admits that the
talents of the Japanese officers and
wonderful spirits of the Japanese sol
diers were miscalculated.
Based on these figures. it is esti-
mated the Russian losses in killed
wounded, prisoners and sick reach
100000, leaving the Russian effect
i've strength now at 100000.

Little, correspondent of the Chicago

correspondents, arrived as prisoners
of war on the Ava Maru today. They

Little says the battle of Mukder
was a splendid affair on the Russian
side as we'll as the Japanese. Severa
villages were taken and retaken sew
eral times
Little and his companions are sur
prised to learn the Russians have moi
asked for an armstice, and say the
Russian position in the field is hope
less; that Kuropatkin has lost all his
heavy guns and the railway line.
Mukden is not much damaged. The

Washington, March 25.-It is stat
ed on the best authority that Secre-
tary Hay will not resume his place
in the cabinet on his return from his
present vacation. III health is the
sole cause of his determination to
retire.
The president is now canvassing the
names of several eminent gentlemen
with a view to asking one to become
Hays successor. Among those con-
sidered are Joseph H. Choate and
Whitelaw Reid. Hays friends had
hoped a few weeks rest and change
of air and scenes would enable the
secretary to resume his place at the
head of the state department, but
that hope has now been abandoned.

Baker County Case Removed on a
Change OF Venue.

The case of A. H. Huntington, ex-
sheriff OF Baker county, has been
transferred from that judicial district
to this and will in all probability be
tried here, before Judge Ellis, at the
June term. The change OF venue
was granted by Judge Robert Eakin,
before the creation of the new judi
cial district by the legislature. The
circuit judge of that district is now
Samuel White, who. during part of the
Huntington trial was the district at
torney, and as such prosecuted the
ex-sheriff. Huntington is accused OF
defaulting to the extent OF something
over $4,000.
