NON-PARTISAN MOVEMENT

At last the Los Angeles county nom
partisan movement has taken tangible
shape A headquarters suitable for the
management of a campaign has been
secured and a corps of workers is
promised for methodical effort. 1t is
announced that an executive committee
and a finance committee will be in
stalled at once. A list of 200 or 300
names of citizens who espoused the
cause of the movement has been pub
lished.
The time fixed for holding the Demo-
cratic county convention is September
2O-Thursday of next week. Whatever
io done by the non-partisans concern
ing county ticket should be done prior
to the -nocratic convention. The ulti-
mate success of the movement depends,
OF course, on the nomination Of such
non-partisan candidates as may be
approved by the Democrats.
There is little more than a week,
therefore, in which to shape the nom
partisan movement for effective par
ticipation in framing a joint county
ticket to pit against the machine-made
output of the Republican convention.
All there is to show for non-partisan
effort thus far, as appears to the pub
lic is d list of about 250 names of
citizens who are credited with having
"signifed their Endorsement of the
movement and who will work for it's
success
1t will be no child's play to defeat the
machine ticket turned out at Venice,
even by strenuous effort of non-par-
tisans lin unison with the Democratic
party. Los Angeles county is pressed
so tightly in the wise of the Republican
machine, managed by political en-
gineers of the railway companies, that
it will take mighty long pull, strong
pull and pull all together to release the
machine grip.
AS an evidence of the work that must
be done it is necessary only to call
attention to the preponderance of the
Republican partisan vote in Los An
geles county in former elections. In
order to overcome the large Republican
plurality it will be necessary for all
opponents of machine methods in poll
tics. and all opponents of Southern
Pacific dominance in county affairs, to
take off their coats, roll up their sleeves
and pitch into the campaign with a de-
termination to win or perish in the
attempt.
Not only in this city but in every
other city, town and hamlet in the
county. and in the rural districts as
well, should the non-partisan move
ment be pushed. Instead of the names
of 250 avowed hackers of the move
ment in Los Angeles there ought to be
at least ten times that number, and a
corresponding number in all other sec
tions of the county. And The Herald
feels confident that such substantial
backing might be lined up by heroic
effort.
The Democrats of Los Angeles county
are prepared to give the Republican
machine the stiffest fight it ever
tackled. 1t is up to the non-partisans
to follow suit.

The Owl Cars


No more my weary feet
Walk irksome ways;
No more l wander forth
Ere break o. days.
Past are my troublous hike,
All done, trow,-
1 can ride home at night
Owl cars run now!
Time was when YEARLY
1 plodded home
If past the midnight hour
l CHANGED to roam.
Last night, l stayed as late
Later. by far.
Than was my wont. Came home
On an owl car!
No more the rafting cab,
No auto bill!
Owl cars are it for me!
Run at my will.
Me for the gladsome night
Twelve is no bar.
Glorious the moon that saw
Our first owl car!
Ripping on thro' the dark,
Speeding we went;
oh. 1t was bully fine
And such content!
Never, no more jay town
Gives folks jar;
We are city now
See that owl car?

j. II. Gillian, Charged With Gaining
by False Pretenses.

]. r. Gillian, whose real name is
Gwiles, was placed under arrest this
morning by Chief of Police Gurdane
upon instructions received from La
Grande. According to Chief Gurdane
the prisoner Is wanted in Union coun-
ty for obtaining money under false
pretenses. The crime was committed
two years ago. and since then Gillian
or Gwiles has been in California. Not
long ago he came back and worked
for a time on the gas construction
gang. When arrested this morning
he was working in the Pendleton
foundry.
Gillian was known to the chief of
police several years ago when the lat
ter was in the sheep business on Whis-
key creek. Through conversation this
morning the identity of the prisoner
was established by the chief, and the
arrest was then made. Gillian ad-
mits being the man that is wanted,
but denies that he is guilty of any
crime. He is now being held in the
county Jail awaiting an officer from
Union county.

DIPPING NOT
NECESSARY
ANOTHER BURDEN LIFTED
FROM SHEEPMEN's MINDS.
4 Telegram From Superintendent
Shelter Gives Authority for the
Statement That Sheep Need Not BE
Dipped Before Entering the Blue
Mountain Reserve - Not Known
Whether Rule viii Re Suspended as
to Wenaha Reserve.

Sheep that are to be ranged in the
will not have to be dipped before go
ing upon the range. This morning the
East Oregonian received the following
message upon the subject from u. B.
Shelter, forest superintendent:
Baker City, May 9.
81 have received telegram as fol-
lows: The bureau of animal industry
will not require sheep to be dipped
before entering the Blue mountain
reserve this year."
This news is welcomed by most of
the sheepmen who will be using the
reserve, for otherwise they would have
been required to dip all sheep within
10 days before going upon the re-
serve.
During the recent sheepmen's meet
ing that was held here, the subject of
dipping on the reserve was much dis
cussed, and Colonel Hickox, of the
bureau of animal industry, addressed
the meeting upon the subject. While
the dipping would have beneficial re-
suits in some instances, the majority
of sheepmen will be glad to hear the
rules have been suspended, for it will
save them much trouble and expense.
1t has not been learned whether or
not dipping will be required before
entering the Wenaha reserve. How
ever, Dan p. Smythe, secretary of the
Umatila County association, is in
clined OF believe the rule will also
be suspended there.
Had the dipping program been
carried out, dipping watts would have
teen established in the mountains for
the convenience of stockmen.

bureau, from the decision given by
Ranger Schmitz regarding the We
naha reserve range.
After having been denied reallot-
ment Of the Wenaha reserve, a strong
remonstrance was prepared by the
Umatilla county association and pre-
sented to Ranger Schmitz few days
after the Walla Walla meeting. How
ever, the remonstrance has been acted
upon unfavorably by the walla walla
official, and the question will now be
taken to the head Of the department,
where final ruling will be secured.

What is apparently an attempt to
appease the wrath of the Oregon
sheepmen was made recently when
10000 sheep were taken from the re-
serve and Oregon stock admitted. 1t
was said that some of the Washil g.
ton men would not desire all the
range allotted them, and consequent
ly the Umatilla county men might
have the same. However, among the
local men there is feeling that the
move is a diplomatic stroke on the
part Of their Washington brethren
whereby they hoped to avoid having
the proposition appealed to the head
Of the department. However, II such
was their intention they have failed,
as the papers in the appeal will be
forwarded to Washington tomorrow.

INDIANS DID NOT AGREE.
General Council Of the Umatillas Ad-

Iay

day.
The general council of the Umatilla
tribe called to meet yesterday at the
agency to consider the proposition of
opening public roads through the res
ervation adjourned to meet again next
Tuesday to further consider the mat
ter.
There is a strong sentiment among
the leading Indians to open at least
from Pendleton to the summit of the
mountains. This sentiment seemed to
predominate in the meeting.
Chief No Shirt who has been nom
progressive in the past in many mat
ters pertaining to public improve
ments, caused sensation by arising
to his feet in the council and openly
declaring for public roads across the
reservation.
Interpreter Joe Craig, who inter-
preted No Shirts address, says today
that this was the most remarkable
speech of the meeting. The Indians
had counted on No Shirt to stand
firmly against the opening of the
roads.
In his short address to the Indians
he said: IT live on the reservation.
This is my home. But 1 travel from
place to place each year. I find
roads opened by the white men all
| over the country. 1t costs the Indian
nothing to travel these roads. We
come and go and nobody asks any
questions or makes any demands for
pay from us.
IT believe we should open up roads
like the white men. People wish to
travel over the reservation and they
find no roads. The Indians drive
their ponies along the white mems
roads but they want no roads In their
country for the white mans stock to
travel. I am in favor of a big road
across the reservation. These are my
sentiments which will adhere to-"
