PRIMARY LAW CONSTRUED.
Candidate May Run for Office on Two
Different Tickets.

candidate OF both political parties has

Crawford in an opinion rendered in re-
sponse to an inquiry from w. ]. Moore,

DOOMED TO DIE.
Orchard Knew Too Many Secrets OF
Inner Circle.

Orchard Knew Too Many Secrets OF
Inner Circle.
Boise. Idaho, March 6.-Asssassinat-
ing those whose hands were against the
Western Federation of Miners, and
those who refused to join the associa-
tion. are not the only crimes for which
the members OF the Inner Circle will be
called upon to answer. Not only were
non-union miners murdered outright,
bombs placed for state officials, but the
poor tools who committed the revolving
crimes for the Inner Circle were them
selves victims of this committee of
death.
Harry Orchard was among the tools
of the Inner Circle marked for de-
struction. Had he managed to have
escaped arrest after having assassinated
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, he would not
have lived long to enjoy the So, 800 he
was to have received for doing the job.
The confession of Steve Adams, it is
said, shows that the members of the
Inner Circle were suspicious of Or
chard and that he had been shadowed
for long time before he went to Cald-
well for the purpose Of placing the
bomb which killed Ex-Governor Steu-
nenberg. Sentence had been passed
upon him, and it is said that whether
he succeeded, as he did, or failed, he
would have been added to the list OF
tools that have been put out OF the
way.
Crimes within crimes was the system
which the Inner Circle carried out.
When dupes of the Inner Circle had
performed so many deeds for the Inner
Circle that they knew too much they
were quietly gotten out of the way, and
it is believed that the confessions of
Orchard and Adams will prove this.
1uo NEWS tudI dudluS uau dudSO LIE
confession to that of Orchard has been
to Meyer, Haywood, Petit
bone and St. John. They were told by
their attorneys, but it is impossible to
learn how the prisoners took the news.
1t was learned, however, that all four
of the prisoners, since they heard OF
Adams confession, have displayed
concern, and for the first
time since their arrest have lost much
of their assurance.
OF all the men under arrest, it is
limited that Pettibone is the worst. He,
go the story goes, was the chief con-
spirator, the man who planned the
and paid out the money.
Certain testimony given before the
grand jury went to show that Haywood,
who received IS day as secretary, had
for some time prior to his arrest been
spending money around Denver at the
rate OF $25 day. This money is be-
lieved to have been a part Of the
assassination fund.

Room for Settlers in Umatilla.

Pendleton - The rapid manner in
which Umatills county is being settled
has drawn attention of late to the fact
that there is much good wheat land left
on what was once the Umatilla Indian
reservation. A tract OF this land was
bought by the government in 1897 and
cold in parcels at low prices to settlers.
In many cases 50 scres out of quarter
section are to be found, on different
parts of the reservation, which were
then thought useless. With proper at
tention this land may yet become as
good as the land that was cold. Some
of the land sold then, near Weston,
Athena and Adams, at from $40 to $50
an acre, grows wheat OF the finest quail
