Henry Lazinka, James Nelson and
Frank Hilbert, Umatilla county cat
tlemen, returned from the Sumpter
stockmen's meeting this afternoon,
ard report the meeting of the Sheep
men still in session. The range divis-
ion as between the sheepmen and cat
tlemen has been definitely settled ex-
cept in the district near Prairie City.
All that remains to be done now Is
for the sheepmen to be allotted in their
respective districts.
Over 200 stockmen were present at
the meeting and the work of the COM
mittees was done in a most satisfac-
tory manner. The division of the
range in the Prairie City district will
be left to D. B. Shelter, superintend-
ent of the Blue Mountains reserve,
for arbitration.
The matter of allotting the sheep
men will require several days yet, as
they cannot agree upon the matter of
allotments, and some opposing the al
lotment plan, desiring to range with
the sheep district without regard to
division lines within that district.

There is no use to deny the fact
that the land frauds investigation has
reached Umatilla county.
For the past three weeks a qul.a'
investigation into the nature of titles
and the character of the Umatilla
reservation land thrown open to set
tlement under the Fulton act, has
been in progress at Room 6, Hotel
Bowman, in this city. Officials in
charge of the investigation absolutely
refuse to give out any information as
to the nature of the investigation, its
intent or the progress they are max
ing.
But the fact remains that a large
number of entrymen on the Umatilla
reservation lands have been quietly
examined, ostensibly to determine the
character of the land filed upon
whether it is agricultural or grazing
land.
Edward w. Dixon, division chief of
the inspection, with headquarters at
Portland. and Capt. ]. H. Alexander,
formerly inspector of the La Grande
land office district, but now inspector
with powers extending over the entire
state, have been in charge of the in
vestigation. A large number of wit
nesses have been examined by them
and number of entrymen have vol

tries made under the Fulton act.
rather than bear the expense of max
ing a fight for the land against\the
protest of the interior department.
All the information secured upon
the subject of the investigation has
been secured from witnesses who have
been examined and while there is
some evidence that all the land in
cluded under the Fulton act is not
strictly grazing land, no charges have
been made against any one connected
with the affair as yet.
Over 500 Entrymen.
There were over 500 entries under
the Fulton acts, which include three
separate enactments by congress and
a large number of people I'm Umatilla
county and in this city have taken
land under this act and its amend
ments.
While it is openly declared that
large numbers of entrymen have been
furnished money by outside parties
with which to make entries, and that
large numbers of the entrymen never
actually saw the land upon which
they filed, yet there are no specific
charges as yet and the matter is en-
