Captain A H Reed of Glencoe
May Organize One.
$1,000 EXPENDED so FAR.
Corner p esident of "AIphabei" Road
in the City; Thinks Milwaukee
ROak Behind Management.
From Thursdays Daily.

| From Thursdays Daily.
Capt. A. II. Reed of Glencoe, former
president of the Duluth, st. Cloud,
Glencoe & Mankato Railway company,
spent the day in the city. He has been
to Albert Lea and is closing up the af-
fairs of the former management of the
company, reimbursing those who paid
for bonds and stock issued by the old
management. All are paid in full, with
out interest, except those who paid only
one or two assessments on the stock and
then refused to pay any more. Those
get nothing. The officers and directors
get all their expenses refunded, in adj
dition.
Capt. Reed, when asked whether in
his opinion the road will be completed
by the new management, replied: at is
the opinion of Hubert Bruels that it
Will" He would not express an opin-
ion either way for himself, but he did
say that in case the road is not complet-
ed beyond Mankato, he would proceed to
organize another company to construct
the road as originally outlined, from this
city to Glencoe, thence to St. Cloud,
thence to the international boundary,
with branch to Duluth.
Capt. Reed stated that thus far $780,
600 has been expended upon the con.
struction work of the portion of the
road between Albert Lea and Mankato,
and he did not think that this would be
allowed to 90, to be used later by some
other road. He thought that the line
would be completed to Mankato. When
asked whether he thought that the Mil
wauiiee road was back of the new own
| ership, he replied that lie thought that
it was, because of several things that
he had learned If the road was to
build by that line, through to st. Cloud
or Duluth, he did not consider that it
would be of any benefit to the towns
through which it passed. What is need
ed is an independent company.
Had Tobie & Company not become
frightened for fear that they would
be held upon their bond and that they
might possibly not have secured their
money, and had the directors not have
become frightened for fear that they
would have to put up money to carry on
the work, there would not have been
ony trouble, so Capt. Reed declared. He
had made arrangements to borrow $780,
eco, which would have paid all obliga-
tionG and kept the contractors at work.
If the line had been completed to Man
kato he had the promise of funds to
complete it the rest of the way.
Capt Reed states that the new COM
pany elected board of directors Jan.
4th, and that these in turn elected Of
ficers. A Mr.. Robinson of Chicago is
secretary.

After a searching investigation of
the charges made against Major o. C.
Edwards, agent of the Umatilla Indi-
ans. the department says that the
charges are unfounded and that Major
Edwards is exonerated.
A special from Washington Satur-
day night says of the matter:
The charges recently preferred by
about 40 Umatilla Indians against
Major o. f. Edwards, superintendent
of their agency, have fallen flat, and
what promised to be sensation, il
not scandal, has completely collaps.
ed. Immediately upon receipt of the
charges Indian Commissioner Leupp
sent one of his inspectors to Umatilla
to make the investigation. The report
of this inspection has been received
and is complete vindication of Ma
jor Edwards In view of this report
the charges will be dropped and the
case will be considered closed.
The Indians were dissatisfied with
the manner in which Major Edward:
was handling their funds, and were
particularly incensed because he had
upon authority from Washington
permitted Umatilla county sheepmer
to drive their flocks across the reser.
walton without first obtaining the con,
sent Of the Indians. Their disgrun.
tlement was evidently due to the fac
that they were not deriving any reve
nue. from the sheepmen for this priv
ilege.
The other charges were found to b.
absolutely without justification. II
fact, when the inspector went to tn,
bottom of affairs, he discovered tina
| the charges were made solely by Indi
ans who had been held in check b,
Major Edwards whenever they at
tempted to override the regulation
and disregard discipline. The protest
were the outgrowth Of personal ami
mostly on the part of a few UmatiIlas
The inspector failed to discover an,
general desire on the part of the In
dians to don their warpaint; indeed
he found nothing to justify the pres
ence of troops to protect Major Ed
wards or government property. Tn
Indians of lawless proclivities havin
subsided, there is now nothing to in
dictate that any serious trouble I
brewing.

Rain Is General.

Reports from all over Oregon and
eastern Washington say that the rain
of yesterday is general. In the Big
Bend country, Eureka flat, Grand
Ronde valley, Morrow county and in
all the wheat districts OF the inland
empire excellent rains have fallen and
wheat prospects are consequently ad-
vanced greatly. An especially heavy
rain has fallen in the Big Bend coun-
try, where wheat was suffering con-
siderably. The Eureka flat wheat has
also been saved as 1t was in bad con-
dition and a few days more dry
weather would have greatly affected
the crop. Some wheat I'm the foot
hill districts Of Umatilla county was
suffering but the rain has been of i'm
measurable benefit and the crop is
now assured.

FIGHTERS AND DRUNKs.
Seven Pay Fines for Unseemly Sun
day Diversions.

Because Frank Baker, cook at the
Horseshoe restaurant, engaged in 4
fight with another employe on the
Sabbath day, he was fined $40 in po-
lice court this morning. According
to the evidence the two men quarre led
over some trivial matter, and pro-
ceeded to settle their difference ac-
cording to Marquis of Queensberry
rules with variations. However, the
little restaurant was not large enough
to serve as a ring, and the combatants
finally emerged upon the sidewalk in
front. This was a mistake, for the
police swooped down upon them,
and Baker, who was evidently the
aggressor, was required to give $40
as bail.
Aside from the above case the fol-
lowing were given sentences for being
drunk on the streets: Frank Scott,
Donald Mckay, Frank Parr, Charles
Switzler and John Howe.

YELLOW KIDS QUIT.
Athena's Baseball Tea mWill Disband
Following the Game With Walla
Walla Today.

The yellow Kids, Athena's famous
baseball team, will disband after the
game played at Walla Walla today.
The Athena Press says of the dis
banding of the team:
After today and tomorrow's games
with Whitman college, the famous
Yellow Kid ball team will disband
and the players will go to other places
to finish the season. The team. which
is now the fastest baseball aggrega-
ton outside of the Pacific Coast and
the Northwest leagues. is forced to
disband because of circumstances
over which the players or their back
ers have no control. The overwhelm-
ing defeat administered the Walla
Walla Boosters last Sunday, when
the Kids knocked two pitchers out Of
the box for total of 22 hits, netting
10 runs, buckled the cinch of dissatis-
faction and discomfort among the

A trainload of ponies was shipped
out of Toppenish Thursday for Miles
City, Mont, to be distributed over the
country, says the Yakima Republic.
The sale of these ponies will bring
to the people of the reservation about
0,000. all of which goes into the
hands of the Indians, who are liberal
spenders. This is only a small amount
compared to the sums that are realiz-
ed every year from this source by the
Indians. This was the third ship
ment of ponies they had made to
eastern points since the beginning of
the year and all told they have Sc
cured $4,000 for these animals in
that time.
Ponies are higher In price just now
than at any time in years. A pony
that used to bring SIS will now bring
SIS or 500. The great demand for
horses of all kinds has been stimulat-
ed by the building of the north bank
railway down the Columbia. The trade
in Alaska has also been growing. The
buyers have been drawing on Yaki-
ma, the greatest horse producing dis
trict in the northwest to such an ex-
tent that there is no surplus on hand.
Very few of the white people Of the
valley realize the extent of the horse
business as conducted by the Yakima
Indians. They are the means OF
bringing thousands of dollars every
year to the valley. An Indian is sell
dom a miser and the result is that
all this money that comes to him
through the sale of his horses flows
in time into the hands of the white
people in exchange for the things the
Indian needs and some things that he
does not need.

read:
Your favor at hand. I am very sorry
indeed that a press Of bushes here,
which demands every moment of my
time, will not permit Of my accepting
your very kind invitation to the Car
negie Hotel Banquet, given by the
Commercial Club of your city. 1t
would certainly afford me great pleas
ure to attend, if 1 could do so without
neglecting public business here. Con-
gress will not adjourn before the 22d.
AS you know my interest and work has
been directed along the line of making
of johnson City one OF the commercial
centers of Tennessee, and have great
faith and confidence in the future sue
cess, welfare and prosperity of your
splendid little city. The fact that since
the Soldiers Home was located near
your place, that the gross receipts of
your postoffice have gone up from $4, :
200 per annum to $15, per annum.
This amply justifies the great conf
dence that have in your future. If the
people Of Johnson City, underline lead
ership of your Commercial Club, will
band together and all march under the
