NEW ORLEANS, La. July 29.-
Mayor Behrmann this morning gave
out the following statement:
New Orleans is suffering more
from the rigid quarantine than from
yellow fever. OF which the citizens
here have the fullest control. The
mosquito theory is accepted by our
physicians and laymen alike, and
there is nothing remaining to be done
but to fight the mosquito and which
is being done by oiling the cutters and
screening and olling the cisterns. The

"We have the situation SO thorough.
ly in hand that We believe we will
shortly convince the outside world
that by working on the mosquito theo.

bed of all its perils, and shotgun quar-
antines are senseless as method to
combat yellow fever and such cannot
prevent the spread of mosquitoes.
This is fight wholly against the

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-10-25

Washington. Oct. 25.-Correspond-
cnoe between Attorney General Moody
and the interior department indicates
that the department of justice is by
no means satisfied with the action OF
the Ninth circuit court of appeals in
holding that liquor can he introduced
on allotted Indian lands without vio-
latinE the laws.
General Moody's position in the
matter was made plain today when he
ordered the United States attorney at
salt Lake to act in case where man
named Boss introduced liquor on the
allotted Uintah reservation.
Boss was apprehended by the Fort
Duchense military authorities. and
when the case was turned over TO the
United States attorney at Salt Lake
that official refused to act, citing the
action of the circuit court as his rea-
son.
In his telegram to Secretary Hitch
cock on the subject, General Moody
said: THE department still holds that
allotted lands are Indian country, and
the purpose of the act Of 1897 forbid
ding the introduction of liquor thereon
tx not affected by the recent decision" 4"

about midnight. Prince Hillkoff was
not seen. Count Witte received them.
He pointed out that the address con-
tanned many demands which were not
realized In any country and also that
many were worthy OF attention. He
said a constituent assembly was quite
impossible and contended that suf-
frage and other political Dis have
nothing to do with the question of rail-
roads The count promised that lib
erty OF meetings and of the press will
be promptly granted and said the con-
tinued application of martial law to
railroads was due to a misunderstand-
ing and will be Eemedied.

TRADE
IS BEING INVOLVED
SCMPTER VALLEY ROAD
TAPS GRANT COUNTY
Problem for Pendleton Commercial
Association and Pendleton Business
Men TO Consider-Extension of the
Sumpter Valley Will Mean More and
More Loss to Pendleton-Some
Method of Holding and Increasing
Interior Trade Is Needed.

The following from the Baker City
Democrat is worthy of the most seri-
Gus consideration of Pendleton Com
mercial association. While the con-
dition is exaggerated by the Baker
City paper, yet it is largely true. and
is matter which vitality affects PEN
dleton.
Some method of competing for the
trade of the district which is being
tapped by the Sumpter Valley rail-
road has been under discussion among
Pendleton merchants for number of
years, but as yet nothing definitely
has been done.
That some of the trade which for
merly came to Pendleton from the
Grant county district is now going to
Baker over the Sumpter Valley is true.
but not in any large degree.
The Democrat says:
On every hand is heard the unqual-
ified commentator of the energy and
public spirit of President David Ec-
cles of the Sumpter Valley road in
extending the line through a non-pay-
ing district SO miles in order to open
up to Baker City and transcontinen-
tai connection the John Day territory.
Grant and Harvey counties
Rising from an altitude of S4OO at
Baker City through Powder river can
yon, the road reaches Sumpter, 1000
feet higher. Between Sumpter and
Upton, the present terminus of the
line. another mountain range is cross
ed by grades of 116 to 1875 feet to the
mile and curves of 10 to is degrees.
On the new line between Upton
and Austin just completed another
mountain climb occurs and the grades
The road lands on the other side of
the range i'm the valley within a quar-
ter of a mile of the old stage station
at Austin near Fisk's ranch.
The value of this line to the busi-
ness community cannot be overesti-
mated, and to say that it is fully ap-
preciated by the Grant and Harvey
county people is talking but little.
1t gives those communities not only
transcontinental rail connection. but
direct rail line with Baker City instead
of heavy freighting some zoo miles by
team to Pcndleton or Heppner
Here the benefit arises in the con-
centration of trade the enlargement of
territory, and the naturally rapid in
crease of business that will result from
such railroad whose roadbed is i'm per-
feet form and capable to handling an
immense traffic

That former Governor T. T. Cieer

for the assertion that he will come out
with positive declaration of his ir-
