day for the purpose of discussing af-

reserve committee of seven, which

According to the announcement of
the forest reserve officials a general
reduction of 25 per cent will be made
in the number of sheep admitted to

All permits for from 1000 to 1900

Farmers and stockmen on upper
Mckay creek and in the foothills of
the Blue mountains are highly indig-
nant that the county roads prayed for
across the Umatilla reservation have
been denied by the government.
They feel 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 dis
tance around the Indian land to this
city.
Charles Schumann, a well known
stockman of Upper Mckay, voiced
tie sentiment of the majority of
stockmen of the county today when
he caid that it is an outrage that the
actual settlers must be denied a free
public road for teams, stock and
every class of travel.
The Indians lands are not so sa
cred that a white man cannot en-
croach upon it. surely" said Mr..
Schuman to the East Oregonian to-
day. 1--WE have settled 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 market it. 1t is
but 25 niles from my home direct to
Pendleton across the reservation, but
If | must drive my stock around the
reservation by way of Stewart creek
and Pilot Rock, it is over so miles.
There is greater need for roads
across the reservation every year as
the foothill country settles up more
and more and it is a rank injustice
to us to forbid US driving over the
Indians land. when the Indian roams
at will over the country scattering
fire and begging from the whites.
when we wish to cross the reser-
vation with a small bunch of fat
stock in coming to Pendleton to mar
ket it. we must come to the Una
tilla agency first and secure a permit
from the agent, making an extra trip
Of 30 miles, while we could have de-
livered the stock in Fendleton while
we We're securing the permit. had we
been accorded our Just rights by the
government"

the foothill country will not let the
matter rest as it is, as the necessity
for main public roads across the res
ecvation is keenly felt by all and
strenuous effort will be made to Sc
cure them

Fortune Paid Out Every Week to
Workmcn.

San Francisco pays out a fortune
every week to labor, says the Exam
iner. There is being disbursed every
week to the army of labor nearly
s750,000, and this will go on, so far
as anyone can now see, for five years
to come. OF the $4,000 buildings de-
stroyed by the fire, and which in time
will all be rebuilt, engineers and con-
tractors estimate that from 10000 to
$4,000 structures will be of brick and
concrete. These take time.
The restoration of streets and side
walks, of sewers, gas, water and cleo
tric appliances, and municipal build
ings, the creation of churches and
music halls, of fine residences and IL
braries and school houses-all these
mean steady work on a long job and
an uninterrupted flow of coin.

Fred Pearl were sentenced to serve
60 days each in the county Jail by
Justice of the Peace Joe Parkes this
morning. They are now engaged in
serving out their time and in ponder
ing over the law which forbids a
man from being cruel to an animal.
On Sunday the two men secured a
little dark bay team from Carney &
Kennedy's stable and said they wanted
TO drive to Pilot Rock. They are said
to have run the team the entire DIS
tance or as much of it as possible.
and when they arrived at the Rock
one of the men held the reins while
the other piled the whip. The horses
We're exhausted and We're covered with
welts from the beating given them.
Soon after their arrival at Pilot
Rock the two men were arrested by
the marshal and Yesterday morning
the Pilot Rock recorder imposed a
sentence of 12 days for cruelty to
animals. However, after doing so it
was decided to turn the case over to
the Pendleton authorities and a war
rant was then sworn out for the arrest
of Pearl and Leyde by Justice Parkes.
The constable was then sent to Pilot
Rock and secured the two men, re-
turning to town about $3.50 yesterday.
The sentence imposed upon Leyde
and Pearl is the maximum for the
offense of which they were guilty.
