RESERVATION MUST Be OPEN
Foothill Farmers and Stockmen De-
mand Public Highways.

Farmers and stockmen on upper Nc
Kay creek and in the foothills of the
Blue mountains are highly indignant
that the county roads prayed for
across the Umatilla reservation have
been denied by the government.
They feel, says the East Oregonian,
that it is an outrage that they should
be hemmed in without an outlet for
their stock which they must market in
this city and which must be driven
over the reservation to market, or else
three times the distance around the
Indian land to Pendleton.
Charles Sehumann, we'll known
stockman of upper Mckay, voiced the
sentiment of the majority of stockmen
of the county when be said that it is
an outrage that the actual settlers
must be denied free public road for
teams, stock and every class of travel.
"The Indians lands are not SO sac
red that white man cannot encroach
upon it, surely" said Mr.. Schumann
to the East Oregonian. "We have set
tied upon land in the foothills and are
citizens of this county. Pendleton is
our principal market and we must
drive our fat stock to this city to mar
ket it. II is but 20 mile from my
home direct to Pendleton across the
reservation, but if l must drive my
stock around the reservation by way of
Stewart creek and Pilot Rock, it is
over 80 miles.
"There is greater need for roads
across the reservation every year as
the foothill country settles up mere
and more and it is rank injustice to
us to forbid us driving over the In
dians' land, when the Indian roams at
will over the country, scattering fire
and begging from the whites.
when we wish to cross the reserv-
alton with small bunch of fat stock
in coming to Pendleton to market it,
we must come to the Umatilla agency
first aud secure permit from the
agent, making an extra trip of 90
miles, while we could have deliv-
cred the stock in Pendleton while
we were securing the permit. had we
been accorded our just rights by the
government.
Mr.. Schumann says the people of
the foothill country will not let the
matter rest as it is, as the necessity
for main public roads across the re-
servation is keenly felt by all and a
strenuous effort will be made to secure
them.

AGAINST WAREHOUSE OWNERS
Eastern Oregon Grain Growers Seek
to Have Bill introduced.

The Oregon Daily journal says
Grain gorwers of Eastern Oregon, and
especially of Umatilla county, are
planning to make things warm for the
warehouse people when the legislature
meets by introducing bill intended
to regulate the storage charges made
by the companies and give relief from
what is now considered to be an ex-
cessive rate.
The Umatilla County Wheatgrow.
ers' association, working in harmony
with similar organization from Sher-
man county and backed by the unani-
nous sentiment of the farmers of the
wheat producing section of Esatern
Oregon, has taken the matter up
officially and is now working upon
measure which will be intrusted to
one of the legislative delegations for
action by the Legislature.
The greater part of the wheat pro-
duoed in the Inland Empire country is
stored after each harvest and held in
the warehouses until such time as the
farmer sees fit to sell. Many times
this stored wheat is not sold until
just before the following harvest. In
past years the warehouse men charged
the farmer so cents ton for storage
from the time of putting it in the
warehouse in the fall until the follow
ing July. This has been charged
within the last two years and now the
farmer is taxed so cents a ton from
harvest until January /. aud after
that 10 cents per ton per month as
long as stored. The farmers consider
this charge to be exorbitant and tend
ing to take all profit from holding
wheat in storage. 1t is also thought
to be move on the part of the wheat
buying companies, which in most in
stances own the warehouses, to force
the farmers into selling at an early
date instead of holding for an increase
in prices.
1t is held to be a conservative esti
mate that out of the 4 800, 900 bushels
of wheat produced in Umatilla county
alone practically one half, OF 2,250,-
600 bushels, is held in storage for a
longer or shorter time after January 1,
SO that the farmers are compelled
under the present arrangement to pay
sums which could mount as high as
$4,000 for the extra storage asked by
the companies.
The wheatgrowers of Eastern Ore
gon are at war with the buyers aud
have combined against them. The
buyers have retaliated by refusing to
recognize the organization formed by
the growers or to attend the sales held
under the growers auspices. AS re
suit larger amount of wheat is now
in storage than for some time. and it
will ell begin to cost added storage
after the first of the year.
The bill proposed will serve the
double purpose of retaliation aud
regulation. The Eastern Oregon
farmers are confident that the measure
will carry, as they consider their de-
mands just and will ask for nothing
more than that reasonable maxi
mum charge for storage be placed
upon grain stored and held for sale.

CASES IN DECEMBER
Probing of the Land Frauds
to Come Then
HENEY WILL Be ON HAND
The Celebrated Prosecutor Will Turn
His Attention From San Fran
cisco Graft Cases.

The news comes up from Portland
that Fra lcis J. Heney will turn his
attention from the municipal graft
cases Of San Francisco to the federal
land fraud cases Of Oregon about De-
cemher 1, and will join Judge Hunt
of Montana in Portland for the re-
sumption of the land fraud trials in
the United States court.
Judge William B. Gilbert, who has
just returned from San Francisco, has
come to this conclusion after an ex-
tended conference with United States
District Attorney Bristol. Until
Jadge Wolverton returns on Saturday,
however, and joins Judge Gilbert and
Attorney Bristol in conference it will
be impossible to decide definitely what
will be done in the federal court,
especially during the present month.
It is not likely that federal grand
jury will be called at this time for the
consideration of the charges now pend
ing in the district attorneys office,
but such action may be taken if it is
found that Judge Wolverton will be
able to remain in Portland for any ex-
tended time. This matter will be set
tied when Judge Wolverton returns to
Portland and acquaints Judge Gilbert
with the condition of his own docket
and that of Judge Morrow in San
Francisco, where be has Leen for the

WILL IMPROVE THE SERVICE
Eventually New Switch Board Will
be Installed at Central.

With the merging OF the telephone
systems in Athena, and with service
to be given all the lines from one cen
tral office the question of better facil-
tiles and Office equipment is already
being looked into by Manager Nc
Gilvery of the Pacific States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company.
In company with Foreman Russell
of the equipment department, Mr.. Nc
Gilvery was in the city Wednesday,
looking into the matter. 1t is under
stood that for the present and until
the factories can turn out modern
switch board and office apparatus,
the capacity of the present switch
board will be doubled.
1t is the intention of the company SO
soon as it is possible to do away with
the present Office equipment here and
Install in its place an up to date,
modern switch board.

A BIG VOLUME OF BUSINESS
The Preston Parton Milling Company
Boosts Athena Freight Traffic

Few people have but slight idea of
the volume of business that is done in
a month out at the big plant Of the
Preston Parton Milling company.

45i carload shipments. 396 carloads
were shipped from the mill. Flour,
of course, is the chief commodity but
mill stuffs and baled hay figure to.
some extent in swelling the number of
cars shipped. and incidentally went to
boost the freight traffic over that road
from this point.
Shipments over the o. r. q N. made
by them company are also quite ex-
tensive, and greatly augments the
volume of business transacted for the
year. From January to October |
carload shipments made ty vac Pres.
ton Parton company from Athena over
the o. r. q N. totals 900 carloads,
making the toal over both the W. &
Q. R. and 0. r. g. N. of 686 carloads.
The month Of October was the ban
ner month Of carload shipments made
by the mill over the w. s. g. X. road.
when 81 carloads were billed out. The
month OF September scored "a car

that independence league votes for
Hearst were not fcounted In Erie and
Allegheny counties. Reports came In
also showing that in districts in Clin-
ton, Cattaragus, Herkimer, Wayne,
Albany, Onedaga and Washington
counties there was a failure on the
part OF the election board to count the
vote for Hearst which was cast under
the scales. The facts which developed
explain the great falling off in the
total vote cast compared with the total
vote two years ago. There is no doubt
that votes represented by this falling
off were votes cast for Hearst and bis

scales. These matters are being fully
investigated. I"

HEARST IS DEFEATED
Democrats Cling to All Their
Strongholds
WASHINGTON ESREPUBLICAN
johnson, Democrat for Governor, Wins
in Minnesota Overcoming
Big Handicap

Elections were neld Tuesday in AZ
states, and while the results in mum.
ber of instances were of unusual in
terest, it may be said that, generally
speaking, there were no great sur.
prises.
Throughout the south the democrat
ic state and congressional tickets have
been elected by the usual majorities.
In the west and east the states that
were aligned two years ago in the
democratic or republican columns
show no material change, the demo.
Gratis making gains in some instances
and the republicans in others. The
republicans retain control of congress
by good majority. Perhaps the
widest general interest in the elections
centered in the remarkable fight for
governor which has been waged in
New York state between Charles E.
Hughes, the republican candidate,
who throughout the campaign has had
the support of President Roosevelt, and
William Randolph Hearst, who has
been running as the regular demo-
cratic and Independence league NOM
inee. The latest returns available
show that MIR. Hughes, while losing
nearly all Of the. principal cities Of the
state, was successful by about $4,000
plurality. The rural districts brought
about the republican victory.
In New York City the Tammany
Hall Independence league Judiciary
ticket was successful, with possibly
one exception, over the candidates
named, by the nonpartizan Judiciary
nominators.
Massachusetts, has reelected Curtis
Guild, republican, as governor over
District Attorney John B. Morgan of
Boston, who was the candidate of the
democratic party, the independence
league aud the prohibitionists.
In Chicago it is estimated that the
Independence league ticket polled 49,-
900, but there was heavy republican
plurality for the state officers.
Pennsylvania has elected Stuart,
republican, governor, over fusion
opposition by the usual republican
plurality.
Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Connecticut, Indiana
and Wisconsin have rolled up republi-
can plurallties, although there was
some falling off from the usual vote
