the last of this week.
This flour goes into the mar

and carries the name of Pendleton to
people who are becoming more and
more regular consumers of American
products. Some of this shipment of
Pendleton flour will find its way from
the seaports of China into the far in

Each year the oriental nations are

Probably BE August 1 Before Ac-

April 4, 1907.

The secretary of the interior has
advertised for bids for the construc-
ton of the dam of the East Umatilla
government irrigation project, the
bids to be opened in Portland on
June 2S.
The bids must include estimates on
the construction of 100000 cubic
yards of earth and gravel excavation,
300 cubic yards of earth and rock
excavation, 5000 cubic yards OF con-
crete and $4,000 cubic yards of rip-rap
and rock fill work.
As soon as the bids are opened and
the contracts let, work will be rushe d
on the East Umatilla project. 1t will
perhaps be the first of August before
actual work will begin, as 1t will re-
quire several weeks for contractors to
get their outfits TO the ground after
the bids are accepted.
Work will be continued without in
terruption from the time of beginning
until the dam is completed. Several
hundred men will be employed on the
work and 1t is thought the project
will be ready for settlers by April /,
1907. The land under the govern
ment project will not be opened for
entry for some time yet.

tract from the letter:

floor of the Alexandria building ad-
joining the st. Francis hotel on Gray

happening was when was thrown
completely out of my bed. l realized
in flash what was happening, and
before the second had passed, the
building seemed to be in a convul-

on pair of shoes over my pajamas
and make my way to the elevator
shaft, which reached with difficulty
How / got the door open there Provi-

Mr.. Chapman went through thu
entire disaster without any injury

REMoNsTRANCE FORMULATED
VIII Be Taken to Walla Walla by Le-
gal REPRESENTATIVES.


Ever since their return from Walla
Walla Saturday Col. ]. H. Raley and
Dan p. Smythe have been busily en-
gagged in preparing the remonstrance
which the Umatilla county sheepmen
will present to the forest reserve Of
ficials at Walla Walla tomorrow. The
papers consist for the most part of
affidavits from individual Oregon
stockmen setting forth their claims to
land I'm the Wenaha reserve. which
was allotted to Washington men at
the first meeting a month or more
ago.
However, the oregon men will also
make the claim that no Washington
sheep are entitled to range in Oregon
so long as Oregon men desire the
same. On this contention they are
backing much, and propose to carry
the proposition to the head of the de-
partment should the officials at
Walla walla rule against them.
None of the Oregon men will go to
Walla Walla tomorrow. but instead
the remonstrance will be taken over
by either Colonel Raley or Secretary
Smythe.
Just now there is much excitement
among the cmatilla county sheepmer
over the .Walla 'Walla meeting, and
the allotment of the Blue Mountains
reserve, which will occur May 8. Sat
urday evening an informal meeting
of the association was held in the
Commercial rooms, and plans were
discussed.

DISINFECTING STOCK CARS.
o. II. & n. Has Most Effective Plant
i'm the Country at Umatilla.

The o. r. & N. company has the
most perfect disinfecting plant for
disinfecting stock cars, at Umatilla,
to be found in the country. 1t is the
invention of Foreman ]. H. Watson,
of the mechanical department of the
o. R. & n. at that place, and is a
cheap, simple and effective method.
Compressed air is used to scatter
the lime whitewash over the walls of
the cars and the pressure of air is
sufficient to drive the lime into all
the cracks and in this way disinfect
thoroughly every part of the car.
The usual method is to spread the
whitewash with broom, but the
compressed air method is far in ad-
vance of the old way. Mr.. Watson
designed the plant and installed it.,
and 1t has been highly complimented
by all the federal and state inspect
ors who have seen 1t at work. A large
number of stock cars were disinfected
at Umatilla yesterday, DIR. d. w. Har-
rington of this city, federal stock in
spector, being present to note the
working of the disinfecting plant.
