UBI.ATTLLAS ABROAD.
Twenty-Five Members OF the Tribe In
Portland.

Twenty-Five dingy braves and
squaws from the Umatilla reservation
are sojourning in Portland, having
the best time they have known since
that memorable day in 1896. when
they all slipped away for one grand
feast of delectable dog, says the Ore
gon Daily Journal. They never knew
until this visit just what a splendid
place Portland really was and what
hospitable lot of citizens she har-
bored along some of her darker
streets.
Most of these bucks and bellies are
filled to the brim with liquor of the
hardest kind. Most OF 1t is whiskey
of illegitimate parentage. and is raw
enough to file scars on even the
patent northumberland throat OF
the Indian. Throat scratching is the
supreme test OF good whiskey, ac-
cording to the best Indian authorities
and the braves are supremely happy
over the brand that has been served
them in Portland.
The 25 Indians came down as wit
the trial OF Orton Wheeler, accused
of assault. They arrived in Portland
last week and have been here ever
since. One day Wheeler's trial had
to be postponed because of a whiski-
fled slumber which had taken posses
sion of the prize witness. Today an
interpreter was dismissed because his
tongue refused to work as his booze
bedraggled brain tried to dictate. In
the back Of the court room, where sal
the rs, the atmosphere was highly
tainted with fumes similar to those
of a burning drug factory.
The condition of the Indians ha,
angered the government officers AM
it will go hard with the man who ha,
been disposing of liquor to them. L
is against the law to sell liquor to ar
Indian and the officials propose t.
find out the guilty parties and punisf
them severely. In the meantime tn,
case of Orton Wheeler wheezes booz
lily along and the bucks and braves
are praying that their visit will no
soon be, ended.

AN OPEN LETTER.
Oregon Voters Are Urged to Remem
ber the Rights of Their Women.

The following "open letter." stating
briefly the hope of the women of
Oregon, has been issued by the Ore
gon Equal Suffrage association, signed
by the pioneers and leaders in the
movement.
To the Voters Of Oregon, Greeting.
Gentlemen: The undersigned sub
NIT to you a few Of our reasons for
asking you to ratify, by your affirma-
tive votes. the amendment granting
equal rights to women, which has
been placed before the voters through
a petition numerously signed by the
men of oregon under the initiative
and referendum.
This movement has grown under
your management from the small be-
ginning known as the Married Wo-
mems Sole Trader bill, enacted by
your legislative assembly in 1872, un-
til 1t has reached such vast proper
tions as to attract the attention of the
civilized world. A constitutional
amendment proposing women's en-
franchisement, submitted to you in
1884. brought US an affirmative vote
of 1923.
This amendment was again sub
mitted to your suffrages by Legislative
initiative In 1900. bringing US a vote
of 1926. Although the population
of the commercial centers had more
than double in Is years, the NO
vote was only increased by 226, while
the Yes" vote was augmented by
1892.
This, to us, is a palpable augury oi
the triumph which we confidently
look to you to consummate for US OF
the fourth day of June by placing ''X'
between 1909" and yes" on your bal.
lots. Do this and you will honor oul
| flag OF truce. the only power we car
offer in our defense against the bal
lotted forces of the opposition. Dc
this. and you will honor Oregon, YOU
mothers and yourselves. And you
petitioners will ever pray:

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-05-21

Recently the East Oregonian pub
lished letter from committee of
persons sand to represent farmers
living in the vicinity of the Barlow
toll road across the Cascade noun
tains.
That letter which urged the pur-
chase of that road by the state was
not published because the East Ore
gonian favors the purchase of this
road at an exorbitant price, but mere
ly TO be fair to all interests concern
ed.
The following letter from VIII G..
Steel, the we'll known guide Of Mount
Hood, who is perfectly familiar with
all the facts, will set the people of
Oregon right in this matter and the
East OregOnian urges the citizens of
Oregon to vote against the purchase
of this road by the state. The matter
Will be voted on at the coming cleo
ton on June 4.
The letter of Mr.. Steel. addressed
to the Portland Oregonian, is as fol-
lows:
Portland, May 1S.-(To the Editor. }
Permit me to call the attention of
the people of Oregon to the fact that
they will be called upon at the elec-
ton in June, to vote for or against
the purchase of the Barlow toll road
for $4,000. My interest in Mount
Hood for the past generation is well
known throughout the state. and I
feel that word from me will not be
~ rNlo ~ r.,
know who is interested in this prop
osition, hence, I can speak without
personal feeling in the matter.
1t is currently reported that a COM
bination of some sort has been formed
for the purpose of selling this prop
erty to the state for the price named,
and an option taken on it for $4,000.
AS to the correctness OF this report 7
cannot vouch, but I have reason to
say it does not much exceed that fig
ure.
Sixteen thousand dollars seems
like a pretty good margin for private
individuals to make on a little $4,000
sale to the state. Particularly is this
true when the fact is considered that
for many years there has been bitter
opposition in the legislature against
maintaining or in any manner i'm
proving state roads. and for this rea-
son they have neither been built nor
purchased. 1t will require many
thousands of dollars to put this road
in first-class condition. Under such
circumstances, where is the money to
come from?
1nquisitive persons may raise the
question as to what is offered for this
money. Has the road company any
rights or privileges that are not con-
ferred by the state or county through
lease? The company never purchased
the road, did not build and does not
own 1t. Then what is offered for sale?
If lease is held, when and from
whom was It obtained, and when does
it expire? 1t extends principally
through the Cascade range forest re-
serve. On page 50, National Forest
Reserve Regulations and Instruc-
tions," the following language occurs:

EARTHQUAKE DESTROYED LEGAL RECORDS

Edward II. Hamilton, a special
writer ON the San Francisco Examin-
er, reviews the confusion of titles and
the destruction of legal records caus-
ed by the San Francisco disaster, in
the following entertaining manner:
Just look at few of the facts and
then try to imagine time when the
lines of meum and tuum shall be
drawn as they were at 5 o'clock on
the morning of the 18th of April.
The insurance companies think they
have a hard task before them Many
of their records have been destroyed.
Many of the policies have been lost.
There are questions as to where the
lack OF ability for earthquake dam
age ended and where the liability for
fire loss began. There are bubbles
as to payments for damage by dyna-
miting when the efforts were made
to stop the conflagration. And the in
surance men are so much at sea that
one will figure the total insurance
loss at not over s150,000,00O, while
another will add an entire 100000
900 to that figure.
But the troubles OF the insurance
men are trifles when compared to
the general chaos of business affairs.
Begin with the land titles. Some Of
those are apt to be as unstable as was
fearfully in the cool OF that April
morning.
Everything In California dated back
to the Spanish and Mexican land
grants. The early records regarding
San Francisco were in the United
States land office. That office was in
the sub-treasury building. The sub
treasury building is heap Of cooling
bricks. Not a record remains. The
maps and recorded grants are ashes.
Out In the Hall of Records, In the
badly shattered City Hall, many of
the title records are ruined or miss
ing Very likely San Francisco will
have a repetition of the long litigation
over "squatter titles" that followed
her original upbuildings, for the oris-
inal deeds have gone by tens Of thous-
ands and It is conceivable that some
Of the owners Of property may never
be distinguished or identified in the
broken and b!ackened stumps of men
that will come from the miles of
tumbled brick and stone.
When you turn to personal property
you enter domain without marks or
charts for guidance. It is believed
nearly all the bank vaults are all
right and that their contents will be
very little damaged. At best this is
belief, for no bank vault can be open
cd for many days yet.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-05-21

The city assessor opened his vault
and everything was in flames at once
How long 1t will be before the bank
vaults may be opened with safety II
is hard to tell. When they are open
ed, what?
One or two of those bank vaults
are known to have smoked-a great
deal. Men shake dubious heads when
they speak Of them.
1t must be remembered that indi-
vidual bank books have been de-
stroyed by the tens of thousands.
But with this possibility of trouble
you have just poked your nose into
what seems a limitless labyrinth of
lost documents.
There are great public service cor
porations here who haven't a list or
book to show the names of their
stockholders and they number those
stockholders by the thousands. Many
of these stockholders have lost their
stock certificates. Where do these
corporations stand? Will anybody
answer that question offhand? How
are the stockholders to be determin-
ed? Who is to be assessed to recon-
struct the plants? -.
Mining company after mining COM
pany has lost all its records. Here
again the certificates of stock have
in many instances been destroyed. It
must be remembered that in most in
stances the contents of the very best
so-called "fire-proof" safes were
found to be ashes and molten metal.

Longest Irrigation Tunnel.

Work on the Corbett tunnel in the
Big Horn basin, Wyoming, is pro-
crossing rapidly. The tunnel is q part
Of the government irrigation project
which Is being carried out in the Big
Horn country, and which will divert
the waters of the Shoshone river for
the purpose of irrigating several
thousand acres Of arid land. The
tunnel will be the longest of its kind
in the country, as its length will be
three miles when completed. More
than 500 feet of the immense bore al
ready have ben finished and machin-
cry is arriving on the ground, by use
of which the work will be carried on
much faster. Two hundred men are
now at work on the contract, which
must be completed within one year
fro mthe present time.

BOLD BOY BURGLARS
Went Through Several Stores in the Brooklyn District Last Night

Three clever youths, for the thieves are believed to be boys. did |some light finger work in Brooklyn last night or early this morning, no
 less than four stores having been en- tered. Tn only one place was money found, that in the fruit store of N.
 Barone, at the corner of Bank and
 Porter streets, where about $100 in lchange was pilfered. Three boys
 were in city court to-day, arrested as having been implicated in the rob- bery, but their cases were continued until tomorrow morning. The boys, Iall young fellows, are Frank Seren- |ski, Thomas Kusaitis and Lewis Guliaus. It appears that the urchins lwho operated with a skeleton key first entered the store named above. In this place they broke open the it'll and took the loose change, which amounted to about $7. Then they entered the back rooms, which in winter are the sleeping apartments of the owner, and broke up small bank which contained about $4.
 After they had pinched all the cash that was in sight they proceeded to help themselves to all kinds of candy. IOf course after laying in a stock of candy which would last them for some time to come, they got at the Ismokeables. A goodly amount of |smokeables were obtained and the boys departed. But since they en- tered one store so easily, they were Iof the impression that there was nothing to prevent them from mak- ing the rounds. A few doors down is the cobbling shop of l.. De Frienzo.
 They entered this in the same man ner as the first place, but were un- |able to find any money, so they made loff with number of pairs of rubber heels. They passed the tailoring |shop which is next door to the shoe shop, but were under the supposition that they might find something worth taking in the barber shop of Tony
 Muro. There was no Jingle on hand. but there was any amount of cigars, tobacco and cigarettes which the desperadoes dug into and added to the amount already stolen. From
 there they went down into Brooklyn proper and endeavored to enter the grocery store of Joe" Cronin. They were unable to get in, but by means Iof ladder were able to reach and squeeze their hands in through a small window in the rear. They took only a few things from this store.
 The goods which the boys stole were
 later taken from them by one whose
 name is said to be Rocco Dumusko.
 Almost all the stolen articles were
 found in his house in Brooklyn this
 morning and as he could not give a plausible story he was brought to
 the station with the boys by Officers
 Walsh, Bowling and Hayes. The de-
 tective department is working on the
 case and it will be heard in court to-
 morrow.

DR. DE LlCOURI MAD
Confronted Superintendent Beach of
 Police Department This Morning.

N Superintendent of Police George MI Beach almost fainted this morn l1g when Dr De Ligouri of Brooklyn cAlled at the office of the superinten- dent and informed him that he had come to prefer charges against four officers for insulting his wife. The doctor was mad clear through and it was plain by the way he guarded his hip pocket that he had come prepared to resent the all legged insult in no uncertain way in case he should happen to meet one of the offenders, or the whole of them for that matter MT Beach was prompt in offering an emphatic de- nial that any of his men would be guilty of offending lady and de- manded the fullest explanation, whereupon the doctor went on to state that his wife is a nurse and Is called out at all hours of the night. Sunday morning about 4 o'clock, a gentleman who had her engaged to attend case in his family, rapped at the door, and a few minutes later the man and Mrs De Ligouri were hdrrying away down the street. Just at that time four officers happened to meet at the corner of Bank and Riv- erside streets, and seeing the man and woman coming from the house and then disappearing with all possi- ble haste. they evidently concluded that there was something wrong and sent one of their number ahead to Investigate. The scout became sus- picious and banged the end of his club on the sidewalk and in jiffy the other three officers were scamper- ing as fast as their heels could carry them in the direction whence the sound had come. Upon investigation it developed that the couple were going about their business, and on learning this the guardians of the public peace went their several ways satisfied that they had done their duty anyway When Mrs De Ligouri returned home she laid all the facts before her husband, and the more and he remained in that frame of mind until Superintendent Beach dis abused him of the notion that the officers had done anything beyond what is expected of them in all such cases. Tt. was an unreasonable hour," said the superintendent, "and the officers had alright to know who the parties were. Supposing they were thieves and had robbed you and when you woke up you heard that four officers saw them leave your house at that hour but took no notice Of them, what would you say about the kind of men we have on this force? If those men had neglected to do just exactly what you say they did and it came to my ears l should prefer charges against them and sus- pend them until the commissioners had heard them" After listening to the superintendent the doctor cooled down and finally left. saying that 1t was all a misapprehension on his part, but he didn't happen to see 1t in the right light until the superin- tendent explained the situation. The doctor entered the station as mad as a March hare, but he left as meek as q May lamb.
