shoshone, Wyo., July 1.-THE reg
istration for land in the Shoshone or
Wind River Indian reservation is on
at Shoshone, Lander, Thermopolis and
Worland. Large crowds are arriving
and officials of the general land Of
fee estimate that fully 10000 persons
will register for homes. The regis
tration will close at 6 p. m. on July
81. The drawing will begin on Aug.
and will continue until Aug. Is,
when the reservation will be formally
opened.
There are about 100000 acres in
the tract to be opened and from $685.
600 to 100000 acres will be capable of
reclamation by irrigation.
The plan adopted by the state prom.
ises to make the opening of the
Shoshone reservation the most sue
cessful of recent western Indian land
openings. The state engineer has
prepared a complete series of maps
and specifications for comprehensive
irrigation system. and the water
rights to the entire tract, which are
vested in the state, will be conferred
upon the company which will contract
to furnish water to the settlers at the
lowest cost per acre, the entire system
to eventually become the property of
the settlers. 1t is estimated that
water in this manner can be put upon
over 100000 acres of land at smaller
cost to the settler than if he built his
own dam and bitches.
The bids will be opened on Aug. /
and it is expected that the company
getting the contract will Immediately
start operations on sufficiently large
scale to enable many of the settlers
to move on their lands and obtain en-
ployment this winter. There are
about 1000 good agricultural claims
on the reservation. and government
reports show valuable minerals in the
Owl Greek mountains.

RESERVATION ROADS ISSUE.

Unexpected View of the Subject De-
veloped by a Letter from Fulton.
There is now strong hope that UNA
tilla county sheepmen will be allowed
to drive their bands across the reserv-
alton in going to the mountains this
summer, according to the East Ore
gonian. Senator Fulton is still work
ing on the matter, and believes he
will secure the privilege through an
amendme ut which he has attached to
the Indian appropriation bill. s4
In a telegram just received by Dan
P. Smythe, secretary of the Umatilla
county sheepmen, Senator Fulton
told of his interview with the presi
dent, and said he had "every assur-
anoe that he would shortly have the
matter satisfactorily adjusted in the
interest of the stockmen.
Senator Fultop's appeal to the presi-
dent is based on the clause in the
treaty with the Umatillas which pro-
vides that the president may declare
| right of way across the reservation
| when public interest requires such
ruling. In his written appeal to the
president Senator Fulton said:
II find in the treaty between the
United States and the Walla Walla,
Cayuse and Umatilla tribes, ma de
June 8, 1866, as shown by the twelfth
Statutes at Large, the following
authority for the president to inter
vene when public interest requires
right of way across the reserved
land.
Article 10. The said federated
bands agree that whenever, in the
opinion of the president of the United
States the public interest may require
it, that all roads, highways and
railroads shall have right of way
through the reservation herein des-
ignated, or which may at any time
hereafter be set apart as reservation
for Indians. .
That the subsequent allotment of
land to Indians did not affect this
treaty provision is argued by Senator
Fulton, and the entire subject was dis
cussed at length in his letter to the
president.
Should President Roosevelt decide
to act favorably upon the request Of
Senator Fulton, news may come at
any time that he has ordered a right
of way across the reservation.

A DUNNIWAY ROAST
MAKES ACCUSATION AGAINST
EDITOR OF TRIBUNE.
Alleges Dodd offered to Sell Him Ex-
elusive Use of the Trib-
bune's Columns.

Willis S. Dunniway, republican
candidate for state printer, makes
serious accusations against Editor
Dodd, of the Pendleton Tribune,
republican paper, as follows in the
East Oregonian of Friday evening:
Portland, Or, April 15.--To the
Editor The Grass urchin of the Pen
dleton Tribune is doing me the honor
to pour upon me his choicest vitupera-
tion. But he was not always SO hos
tic to me. Only two or three months
ago this fellow Dodd offered in writing
to sell me his adulation and the tex
elusive use" of his columns to for
ward my candidacy for state printer.
| now have the letter in his hand
whiting and signed "E. P. Dodd."
Had I.been SO unfair as to seek to shut
out other candidates, and had de-
sired his Support. could have had
il. just as it has been secured by the
profligate politicians who are exploit
ing the state printing office-that is,
by paying his price.
But enter into no corrupt deals
with Dodd, or anybody else. Hence
Dodd's wrath. There is sno fury like
that of the CRATER scorned. In proof
of Dodd's readiness to sell himself, as
any harridan does, need only refer
to the recent receivership proceedings
at Pendleton in connection with the
Pendleton Tribune.
Among the "assets' shown to the
court was contract by which the
agent of the state printing push
agreed to pay $500 for the Tribune's
support, to the exclusion of other can
didates for the state printer from its
advertising columns. The sum of
$500 is what Dodd gets for defending
tie frightful extortions practiced by
the state printing push. II is his
part of the "pork" @
This may get tho Tribune into
trouble with the postal authorities.
1t is a gross violation of the condi-
tions under which second class mail
ing rates are granted to publications.

Limit Is 100 Acres.

Section of the reclamation act,
provides that no right to the use of
water for land in private ownership
shall be sold for tract exceeding 100
acres to any one land owner, and no
such sale shall be made to any land
owner unless he be an actual bona fide
resident on such land, or occupant
thereof residing in the neighborhood
Of such land. Some questions having
arisen as to what might properly be
considered as constituting a neighbor
hood residence, the secretary of the
interior has fixed the maximum limit
of distance of residence from the land
at 20 miles in direct line.

deep with fallen bodies.
Reports at the police headquarters
in San Francisco show that tho entire
district bounded by Vallejo, Howard,
East and Sansome streets aud embrac-
ing practically the entire wholesale
portion of the city, has been swept
clean by the fire.
Also the district bounded by Second,
Market, Eighth and Folsom streets
has been devastated. In the latter
district were included most of, the
city's finest and most substantial
buildings. The area covered by
flames up to the present is about
eight square miles, or several hun
dred city blocks. Very little, if any,
water is available and the blowing up
of buildings by dynamite is the only
means of checking the progress of the
flames.
Most of the buildings untouched by
flames have been greatly damaged by
the earthquake shocks. The pecuni-
ary loss at p. IN. was conservatively
estimated at 800, 900, 900.
AS result of the breaking of the
mains of the Spring Valley Water
company, San Mateo was flooded. 1t
was owing to broken mains that the
fire has gained such head way at San
Francisco. San Rafael, despite its
own trouble, has dispatched apparatus
to San Francisco.
Fire swept down the street so rapid
ly that it was practically impossible
to save anything in the way.
Banks and commercial houses, sup
posed to be fire proof, burned quick
ly, the roar of flames being heard
even in the hills out of the danger
zone. Here thousands of people
witnessed the awful scene. Great
masses of flames rose to the high
heavens or rushed down the narrow
street joining midway between the
sidewalks and making horizontal
chimney of the former passagewaYs.
Dense smoke arose in the entire
business district and spread out like
an immense funnel, could be seen for
miles at sea. Occasionally some drug
house, or place stored with chemi-
Gals, was reached and most fantastic
effects were produced by the colored
flames, the smoke Of which rolled out
against the dark background.
The scene at Mehanic's pavilion
during the early hours of morning to
noon, when all the injured and dead
were removed because of the threat
ened destruction of the building by
fire, was one of indescribable sadness.
Sisters, brothers, wives and sweet
hearts searched eagerly for some
missing dear one.
Thousands hurriedly went through
the building inspecting the cots on
which the sufferers lay, in the hope
of finding loved one.
The dead were placed in one por-
tion Of the building and tho remain
der was devoted to hospital purposes.

Gasoline Exploded.

For a short time Tuesday evening
intense excitement prevailed on Main
street in the vicinity of Charles Gays
bakery as a result of an explosion Of
gasoline. Mr. Gay was refilling a
small tank with gasoline when the
burners on the peanut roaster ignited
the gasoline in bucket which Mr..
Gay held in his hands. He threw
the bucket and its burning contents
to the floor. Before the flames were
extinguished damage to the amount of
about $25 had been done in the
bakery. After the excitement had
subsidized it was found that Mr.. Gays
hands had been severely burned.

Earthquake and fire Wednesday put
nearly half of San FRANCISCO in ruins.
At least 1000 people have been killed,
thousands Of others injured and the
property loss will exceed 100000
900.
Thousands are homeless and desti-
tute and all day long streams of peo-
pie have been fleeing from the strick-
en- districts to places of safety. 1t
was 5:15 o'clock in the morning
when terrific earthquake shook the
city.
One shock apparently lasted two
minutes, and an almost immediate
collapse of tiimsy structures all over
the city resulted. The water supply
was cut off, and when fires broke out
in the various sections, there was
nothing to do but let the buildings
burn.
Telegraph and telephone communi-
cation was shut off. The Western
Union was completely put out of busi-
ness and the Postal was the only one
that managed to get wire out of the
city.
The department was powerless to do
anything except to dynamite the
buildings threatened. All day ex-
plosions shook the city and added
to the terror of the inhabitants. Fol
lowing the first shock was another
within five minutes, but this was not
nearly SO severe. Three hours later
there was another slight quake.
Reports from the districts outside
San Francisco indicate widespread
damage San Jose, fifty miles south,
lost many buildings and Is to 20 peo
pie were killed. The annex of the
vendome hotel collapsed and fire
broke out.
Stanford University and Palo Alto
suffered. At Stanford many hand
some buildings were demolished, two
people were killed.
Oscar Lucas arrived at Sacramento
from Santa Rosa. He said: "There
is not brick or stone bnilding left
standing in Santa Rosa and the entire
devastated territory has been burned
over. Dead bodies are being taken
from the debris of wrecked houses on
all sides. The estimated death roll
will foot up 500."
At San Jose, the Vendome hotel
annex was badly wrecked, ten or Is
persons being killed. DIR. McKrow
was killed and his wife badly in
jured. Every business building is
demolished. Martial law has been
declared and the militia and 500
deputies are guarding the streets. 1t
is estimated fifty have been killed.
The postoffice is partly wrecked,
the Presbyterian church totally des-
troyed and the courthouse wrecked.
The death list at Santa Cruz is large,
Santa Rosa is total wreck, 1900
people are homeless. The loss of life
will probably reach hundreds.
