WHY EDWARDS WAS DETAINED
Umatilla Indian Agent Will Have
Hearing October 6.

A dispatch from North Yakima says
of Major Edwards trouble:
After being allowed to go on bis
own recognizance to appear in court
at 0 O'Clock to answer to a charge
of threatening a deputy sheriff of
Yakima county, Major o. G. Ed
wards, agent of the Umatilla Indian
reservation, started to leave on the 3
o'clock train but was stopped by
Sheriff Grant, who had received an
inkling of his move.
Major Edwards had left 800
check addressed to the sheriff inform
ing him that he had talked over the
phone with his attorney and that he
wished the case postponed for 10 days.
He was about to board the train when
stopped.
Justice Taggart was routed out of
bed, but refused to accept the 500
check, so Edwards was prevented
from leaving on the train.
He was in court at 8 O'Clock when
a continuance until October was
granted to await the arrival of the
federal attorney of Oregon to defend
the Indian agent.

Sheep On Government Land
Will Be Reduced
SIZE OF BANDs CUT DOWN
Herds Will Be Considered as Con-
sisting of Twelve Hundred
Sheep and Lambs.

Dan P. Smythe, State secretary of
the Wool Growers association, states
that reductions will be made in the
number of sheep allowed next year in
the Blue Mountain, Wenaha; Wal
Iowa and other forest reserves. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Smythe he has been
officially informed regarding the mat
ter by A. f. Potter, associate forester
and chief of the grazing department
for the forestry bureau. The reduc-
tions in the various reserves will be
as follows:
Blue Mountain reserve, eastern di-
vision, % per cent, reducing the num-
ber from 23o, 900 in 1906, to 10000
for 1907; Blue Mountain reserve,
western division, 20 per cent, reduo-
ing the number from 275. 900 to $780,
900; Wenaha reserve, 10 per cent. re-
ducing the number of sheep from Ill.,
900 to 100000; Wallowa reserve. 10
per cent, reducing the number from
1876, 900 to $50, 1000; Chesimus reserve,
an increase of 10 per cent, raising the
number from $4,000 to $4,000.
In admitting sheep to any of the
reserves lambs will be disregarded in
stead of counting two lambs as one
sheep as was done this year.
In the eastern division of the Blue
Mountain reserve band will be con-
sidered as consisting of 200, and per-
mits for one band will be issued with
out reduction. A grower having less
than one band may secure permit
increasing his number to 1900, pro-
viding the increase is not greater than
30 per cent.
With growers having from 200 to
1900 sheep in the reserve this year a
cut of 20 per cent will be made. pro-
vided such cut will not reduce the
number to less than |, 200.
Growers having 1000 to 1900 sheep
this year will be reduced 80 per cent
provided such reduction will not make
the number less than 1000.
In the western division of the Blue
Mountain reserve the same plan will
be followed as in the eastern. though
the general cut will be 20 per cent.
In the Wenaha reserve 1,100 sheep
will constitute a band, and growers
having 900 or less may increase their
number 20 per cent.
On or about November meeting
will be held III Sumpter for the stock
men using the eastern division of the
Blue Mountain reserve under the di-
rection of Superintendent D. b. Smell
Ter. At that time the range within
the eastern division will be allotted
according to the rules of the forestry
bureau. Next year the range will
not be used in common as it was dur
ing the past summer.

Heavy Sentences Given

Judge Wolverton of the federal
court at Portland sentenced Bert Car
tano and Charles Gay to pay fine of
$50 each and serve 80 days in the
county Jail, after they had plead
guilty to the charge of taking liquor
on the reservation. The penalty i'm
posed on the two men has created con-
siderable surprise in Athena where
both are popular aud have many
friends, inasmuch as the Pendleton
men who committed a similar offense
got off with the lightest possible fine
aud Jail sentence.

Fire at Prineville

At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning fire
broke out in the loft of one of the
Cornett stables at Prineville and de-
stroyed about $l4, 900 worth of prop
erty, on which there is an insurance
of $4,000. Besides the stables the
Methodist church and two dwellings
were destroyed. 1t is not definitely
known what started the blaze, but it
is supposed that sparks from the
Palmer hotel building lodged in the
hay. A heavy south wind was blow
ing, and for two hours the flremen
fought the flames with very made
quate supply of water. Two or three
times buildings across the street were
ignited and the entire city was en-
daDgered.

Suit for Divorce

Suit for divorce has been filed by
Mary Kennedy against Harry B. Keu-
nedy, T. @. Goodwin of Milton, being
the attorney for the plaintiff. In the
complaint it is stated that the two
were married at Latah, Idaho, in
1894, and now have three children.
According to the plaintiff the defend
ant has always shown an undue fond
ness for women other than herself,
and she alleges that this has been es-
pecially true during the past three
years while the family has been at
Milton.

.UMAT|LLA BIDS ARE REJECTED
No Contracts Made for Irrigation
bitches on Umatilla Project.

For the second time the interior
department has rejected bids submit
ted for performing work on the gov
ernment irrigation project in Una
tilla county, says the East Oregonian.
Tuesday BIDS for the construction Of
the distribution canals of the East
UmatilIa project were opened in the
Office of d. G. Henny at Portland, but
none of the bids were accepted by the
department. Some time ago the bids
for the reservoir were also rejected.
1t is understood, however, that the
engineers in charge of the reclamation
service in Oregon recommended bid
der to Chief Engineer Newell, who
will soon name the successful bidder,
when work on the canals will be
started.
The contract for the construction Of
the main feed canal has been awarded
and work is now in progress on that
part of the project. Word concerning
the distributing canals is expected
from Washington within short time,
AS the limit for completing the work
is May l, 1907, and the one who gets
the contract will have none too long
to finish it.
The canals to be dug are practically
all through dirt, with but little rock.
The bids were asked on two sections,
indicated in the specifications as
Schedule and Schedule 2. The first
includes little more than half the
distributing canals and involves the
removal Of a total of 10000 cubic
yards. Schedule 2 includes the re-
moval of $50, 900 yards.

bought stock by the single share and
in large blocks. The day was de-
clared "A legal holiday by Mayor
Moore and every one took to heart the

JAS. LA IOURRETTE
 SUDDENLY DIES
His Body Brought In From the Verde
 Yesterday HOrAing.

James T. La Tourette. Cnc Gf the best known cattlemen in this county. died very suddenly on Saturday, on his cat tie range on the east fork of the Verde about seventy miles northwest of Phoe- nix. Death is supposed to have been of natural causes. The inquest will be held today. Friends of the dead man brought the body to Phoenix at once. arriving here about o'clock Sunday morning, the body being at the under taking establishment Of Easterling 6S Whitney.
 The incident of the death was pecu- l1arly startling. for the man was en- gagged in active work, and there had been no premOnition of his approach ing end. or if there was. it was not inn parted by Mir. La Tourette to his fel- lows. A rodeo was in progress. MT. La Tourette and a number of other men. both Americans and MeXicanS. being in the same vicinity but some what separated. engaged in rounding up cattle. A Mexican who was some distance away, though the nearest man to MT. La Tourette, reaching the top Oi a ridge, looked down the slope and saw his employers riderless horse near . mesquite tree. His fears and curiosity were aroused, and calling to his com panions. he approached the horse and found the body of MT. La Tourette ly- ing on the ground, the head a trifle lower than the feet and turned to one side. the general appearance of things suggesting that he had staggered a short distance in an effort to reach the shade of the tree. The incident occur red about six miles from the La Tou- rette ranch. at place known as EyS- ter flat, the ranch being the nearest available point for a wagon. The body was placed on the horse and taken to the ranch and immediately thereafter. Marion McCann. foreman of the ranch and young man named Charles Pen dergast. left for Phoenix with the body

HUNTING A JoR IN bad clTY.
Men Who Tramp The Streets for Work Employment Agency Sharps.

1 Getting a job in a big city is a far i different thing from in a country town. A man hunting work can call on every employer in a few hours in any town
 where he would be likely to find work; ] he would tramp the streets of a great city for weeks without finding a posi- i tion, while there might be dozens of ] places waiting for him if he could To- cate them. There are two things for 1 him to do. One is to advertise. the other is to go to an employment agen- cy.
 These agencies do a big business. most of them on the square. but many young fellow has been heeced out of all he brought with him from the coun- try, under the promise of work by an agency This ruse is worked: A man
 for to fill certain posi- ton, say as fireman. A dozen men ap- ply. each paying a fee of from two to five dollars, but only one man gets the job if there is any -, to get. The Y. M c. A. has gone into the business of finding positions for men and boys. The associations in New York City alone found work for twenty eight hundred last year. The Boston Association filled 1895 places, Chicago SIP. Cleveland 1,O3S. The total salaries of the men throughout the country for whom the associations found positions last year amounted to $2.6SO,OOO, com puted on their first weeks pay, which time and again has been doubled. Ev- cry man pays a small fee.
 No young man gets a place through the association as an act of charity. He gets it on his ability alone. The ir- responsible. shiftless, lazy, drunken fellow soon finds that the association employment department has nothing for him. He has got to stand on his own feet and face his business record to get a business position. Every rec ord is looked up. The 23rd Street branch, New York City, met and sifted the character of over four thousand men and boys last year. The employ ment secretary often meets a hundred applicants a day. He finds out why a young man left his last place; cOunsels with him and helps him at the most trying time of life. with experience gained from daily contact with the city's business life. He knows what business men require and the rocks on which young fellows go to smash. Bus mess men are dealt with squarely and the applicant for employment fairly. II is not unusual that a young fellow who has registered and is called upon to write his record, fails to show up again. The five hundred to one thous- and men in an associations education al classes, who have developed larger capacity, find no difficulty in getting places.
 Country bred young men are always in demand. One large employer was asked the reason why he always asked for young men from the country. He said: They like to work better and are in earnest. They are of cleaner blood Boarding in the town and paying their full expenses makes them hustle. They are young men of better habits. They do not always look at the clock They stick to the job longer and work hard err
 Boys find that it does not pay to de ceive, as one did who registered in his brothers name, when investigation

 MT. La TOurette had been suffering more or less Of heart disease for the last six years and it is said he had been warned by his physician not to do much horseback riding. He avoid ed it as much as possible, but his busi- ness seemed to necessitate his being in the saddle at least a part of the time. It is presumed that to this affection death was due. Those who found him say they believe his death was almost instant. as there was no indication ~- a struggle.
 The funeral arrangements will no' be announced until relatives in Jerome have been heard from. ?,
 The dead man was forty-eight years old, and was a native of Fl Dorado county, California. He came to Arizo- na with his parente in 1878, the family residing in Prescott for a year, after which it moved to the Verde section. which has been the family home the greater part of the time since then.

An Essay About Ducks.

A sch ii boy was told to prepare an
essay on the subject of Ducks" and
this is what he wrote: "The duck is n
low, heavyset bird, composed mostly Of
meat and feathers. He is mighty poor
singer, having hoarse voice caused by
getting too many frogs IN his neck. He
likes the water and carries toy balloon
in his stomach to keep from sinking.
The duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his running gears
by nature that they come pretty near
missing his body. Some ducks when
they get big have curls on their tails
and are called brakes. brakes don't
have to set or hatch, but just loaf, go
swimming and eat. If [ was TO be q
duck I'd rather be drake every time"
