Referendum Invoked on General APP
preparation Bill.

Referendum Invoked on General APP
propriation Bill.
The petitions for the referendum of
the general appropriation bill were
fled with the secretary of state Tues
day afternoon, but on account of a
discrepancy, were withdrawn again
and were filed again Wednesday,
which is the time limit under the ref
erendum clause of the constitution.
The total number of signatures on the
petitions was 1918, but when the list
was looked over it was discovered that
the Multnomah county list, aggregat-
ing 1903 names, was not properly GER
titled to by the county clerk, and the
petitions were withdrawn until this
list could be returned and the error
corrected. The total number Of sig
natures necessary was 1880, but M. H.
Hendrick, of Yamhill county, who
presented the petitions, did not care
to place any of them on file until they
were in all respects corrected. There
are enough names on the petitions
without the Multnomah list, but they
were held out until this list was re-
turned in order to have it complete,
unless it be seen that the delay meant
defeat to the cause, in which case the
petitions on hand will be placed OF
| file.

Stealing at Pomeroy.


DIR. J. w. vogel travelling oculist,
well known throughout Eastern Ore
gon and in Athena, who has been on
a professional stay in Pomeroy, Wash.
for the past three weeks, has been ar
rested on charge Of horse-stealing
on complaint made by w. W. Smith,
a liveryman Of La Grande.
Z Vogel went to Pomeroy from Lewis
ton, having in his possession the horse
in question which he had been using
in driving through the country to a
single buggy. He was much upset
at the occurrence and shed copious
tears at the humiliation of having to
pass a night in the county jail. He
maintained he is innocent and says he
had the horse under specific con-
tract.
The Press, while it refrains from
jumping on the under dog" cherish.
es little sympathy for this fellow Vog-
el who for a period Of a couple Of
years piled his professional practice
in this city. During the "Doc's'
periodical visits here he required the
services of this paper as an advertis.
ing medium, for which he has
never paid-only in promises. Or
his trips to Athena booze and cardi
required more of his attention thar
did the practice of his profession.

county's exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark fair is nearing completion, says
the Tribune.

day that most of the exhibitors were
rather slow inebringing in their exhib-

make display to bring their stuff at
once to his place Of business, so that
spai5e can be arranged for. At pres
ent Byers' mill, the woolen mill and
the securing mill are the only ones
that have been assigned place in the
exhibit. The idea is to have every
thing in place at least week before
the opening day and County Judge
Bean will probably leave for Portland
tonight to complete all arrangements
for installing the Umatilla county ex-
hibit.
One feature will be the mantle built
Of Weston pressed brick and placed in

proved for the Wood Pipe for
the New System.

council Tuesday evening a consider
able amount of business was transact
ed pertaining to the new water sys-
tenn, in addition to auditing the pay

prospects for good supply of water
are most fiattering. A large flow of
water has already been developed,
with no material decrease noted in the
flow from the several springs, none
of which has yet been tapped. The
ditch now extends from a point about
midway from the site of the reservoir
to the south line fence on the Gala
her place. This point marks the far
ther end or principal intake Of the
system and here there is now being
excavated right and left wings across

which the recorder will file the doc
ument for record.

No Whisky for Indians

Moscow, Idaho, May 18.--Judge
Beatty of the federal court has ruled
that he will still continue to hear
cases involving the introduction of
liquor on the Nez Perce Indian reserv-

he states that the Interpretation of
the law as given by the supreme
court some time ago, was under differ

them citizens. In the Nez Perce re-
servation, however, the government
still has supervision over the Indians
for some years to come, as the Indians
did not have final deeds, and could
not be called citizens. The treaty
with the Nez Perce Indians is dated
in 1887, and runs for a period of %
years. He further maintains that
congress cannot pass law which
would nullify the treaty made with
the Indians in regard to keeping whis-
ky off the reservation.
