MEsA,s NEW PLAT.

Friday afternoon at o'clock the city council met in special session and for mally accepted the plat of survey and wound up the account with Engineers Fuller and Turner. The re-survey of the city was made necessary for the reason that iron pipes were placed in the street intersections during the Trippel survey, and time has eaten away these pipes so they cannot be found, and it was determined by the city council that a re-survey be made and that stones be placed at the cen ter of the street intersections instead. The contract for this work was given to Engineers Fuller and Turner. which was completed some time ago, but the map was just completed last week.
 The map itself is a work of art. The original map incased in a $7.OO frame was formally turned over to Clerk Kelly and can be seen at the office of Pomeroy and Kelly, and is well worth inspection. A copy of it was filed in the office of the county recor- | der Saturday.
 The original map is about four feet | square and embraces every feature orI the survey that will ever be required For the city until al least gas pipes pr a sewer system shall be esta blished.
 At the corner of the city hall lot he elevation above sea. level is shown o be 124I004 feet,and at the intersec- ion of the streets, at the points where Ire placed the stones with small holes n the top. is shown in red ink the

 It is explained by the members. of the delegation that Mesa is already. pretty well advetised in a geneaI way but not with sufficient particularity. Letters are being received in great numbers by the residents of Mesa and vicinity from persons living in all parts of the coun- try These letters have always de- manded more definite information and that is what it is intended these circu- lars shall convey
 The members of the delegation said that the circulars would contain infor- nation relating to the entire valley and that though they would not represent Mesa to be the central point of the valley or the most important point it

UMBRELLAS AT s5 PER.

"As rule,' said the umbrella ven der, "I have no kick coming. It's a cinch to sell my celebrated fast color waterproof umbrellas al 35 cents apiece with a wide choice in the handles, to people going home caught in a heavy rain and there's lots of people here to sell 'em to, and when the conditions are right I get rid of a big bunch of 'em; but sometimes I do get a little wrench.
 I'm a good judge of the weather and I don't often go wrong, but I do sometimes, like I did, for instance, yesterday.
 Raining like Niagara falls before they turned the water off for the pow CT houses when I started out, but clear ing up and stopping raining altogether just when the crowds were going home. When it hits one like that, why, of course, I don't sell a parachute, not one. have to pack the whole big bundle home.

the judge has very talented family at present, so there was nothing doing in that line.
 The entire affair was a grand sue cess, many guests being present from Troy Ray, Winkleman and Christmas copper camps.
 Kelvin is coming to the front not only as great mining center but also as a social center, and such pleasant affairs as that of last night certainly cement a bond of friendship with the surrounding mining camps that can never be broken.
 The town was crowded on Saturday night and rushing business was done while today being Sunday local sports will be enjoyed by quite a crowd who seek relaxation from the strain of min ing matters. There is no lid on Kel- N1n. J. NJ

 COngregAted.

Kelvin, July 1.-(SpeciaI correspond ence of The Republican )-The grand ball given last night at the residence of Judge NJ. NJ. Hickey was one of the most recherche social events of the season. The beauty and talent of PinaI county turned out enmasse to do honor to the occasion. The ball was in honor or Lord Kelvin, the noted scientist of England, after whom the town is named.
 Judge Hickey was at his best in full evening dress and made a lasting inn pression on several charming and very widows who were present. But

: actual elevation above sea level. and in
 black ink the elevation Of grade of the ! corner of the lot, the elevation of the gutter and the grade of the streets. sc | that any resident that desires can de- l termine the proper grade upon which ! to construct his building in any part i of the city. The gutter grades, as well , as the other grades, are made with a ! view of keeping the same clean by the system of drenching by irrigation. The water reaches the city limits from the north, through the city ditch, and the portion of the city on and west of Mac donald street is drained to the south and west, and the water is carried off at the southwest corner of the city. While the portion east is drained off at the southeast corner. And the grade is such that the city can be washed clean without applying hydraulic pres sure.
 The length and width of each of the original lots of the city are given in figures, according to the TrippeI sur vey, but it was found that even the Trippel survey was not correct so in the center of the streets is given the actual distance between stones of each of the street intersections. The
 
 blocks 662.S feet instead of 66O feet as was originally contemplated in the Jones survey, but this new survey finds the distance still longer, varying from the proper distance, to nearly a foot but In no case are the lots short. The widths of the streets are all given in cludlng the skirt streets and the half streets and the half streets surround ing the city, all of which streets have been recently named by the city coun- ell and their proper names are found on the map. On the original map. how ever, 'Pomeroy street" Is given the name of Young street" a name given that street by a former council. and which was not changed by ordinance until after the original plat was made. | but in the map that is recorded and the copies that will be made for the use of different offices, this name is i changed to Pomeroy street.
 pleasing feature of this man shows m the names of the streets the honor and respect in which the founders of 'ur clty were held by the different city ;ouhclls, Tor running from east to west he north and south streets are given he names of the original founders of 'ur city, as follOws:, Hobson.

KING EDWARDS PADS.

King Edward carefully preserves programs of the proceedings in which he has taken part. These souvenirs. several thousand in number, are pre- served in the library of Buckingham palace In the same way the king has kept all his theater programs since his earliest playgoing days. The bill of the play placed in the royal box used to be printed on silk or satin, with a heavy fringe. It is now, as a rule. of a less elaborate nature, but. not for that reason any the less artistic.

CHANGES ARE DESIRED.
Present Fish and Game Laws Are De.
fective I'm Oregon.

For several hours yesterday H. G..
Van Dusen, master fish warden for
Oregon. met with members of the To-
cal Sportsmen's association, and the
situation in this county was laid be-
fore the master warden. Among the
subjects discussed were the arrest of
]. ]. Troxall for dynamiting fish, and
the enforcement of the laws regard
ing screens and fish ladders.
Also the matter of changes in the
fish and game laws was discussed pro
and con. At present there is some
what of conflict in the laws gov
erning the fish and game departments,
and II is desired TO have changes
made that will better define the duties
of each office. At present the mas
ter fish warden has authority to re-
quest the installation of fish ladders
and screens, but does not have any
power TO prosecute violations. As a
result. the enforcing of the laws is
left entirely to. the game warden and
his deputies.
Senator C. ]. Smith was present at
the meeting, and after listening to the
discussion stated that If reelected, he
would use his influence to secure leg
islation desired by the Umatilla coun-
ty association and the fish warden.
After having passed the day here
Mr.. Van Dusen left for Union county,
where he will investigate complaints
that have been sent him from that
county.

Echo, May 2S.-(Special to the East
Oregonian.) "A party of nine o. R. &
N. surveyors is in the city with a car
and plenty of equipment to begin
work. While they are reticent as to
their real object it is generally believ-
ed that they are here to make a sur
vey of the Echo-Coyote cutoff of the
o. r. & N, by which the system will
be changed to cut out Maxwell hill.
which is now a serious obstacle to
traffic between Umatilla and Pendle-
ton.
1t is understood that complete esti-
mates of the grade, bridges and juno
ticn facilities of the cutoff have been
made and are now in the general Of
fices of the company and that all
that remains is to make a survey. BY
means of this cutoff one locomotive
can haul almost twice as much ton
mage from Coyote to Pendleton as be-
tween Umatilla and Pendleton over
the present line. The cutoff will fol-
low a depression in the range of hills
form a point near Foster due west to
Coyote and will slightly shorten the
distance from Pendleton to Portland.

Oakland, May 2S.-The board of
underwriters of the Pacific coast,
which organization fixes the insur-
ance rates for the states of California,
Oregon, Nevada Montana. Idaho and
Utah. and the territories of Alaska
and Arizona, has decided to increase
the rates, and that 5000 insurance
agents of the board companies in CAL
ifornia will be notified of the raise.
The rules existing before the catas-
trophe of April IS, under which a
board company is allowed permission
in certain cases to meet the cut rate
made by non-board company, have
been abrogated, and no board COM
pany will. until further notice. be per-
mitted to vary from the rates to be
fixed by the board of underwriters.
The matter of fixing increases and
special rates for San Francisco has
been discussed by the board of und.er-
writer's, but thus far no schedTie has
been adopted. The insurance men
say that the crippled condition of the
San Francisco fire department and
the impairment of the water plant
makes the hazard against fire greater
and justlfies them in raising rates on
new policies.
The return of H. F. Atwood, chair
man Of the general adjusting COM
mittee, from the east is awaited with
interest Atwood, who came here
from Rochester, n. Y, was summoned
east two weeks ago to lay before the :
home office of the big United States
companies the conditions as he found
them in San Francisco. Upon the re-
port that he makes to the home Of
fices will depend in a great measure,
1t is said, the course to be followed
by the insurance corporations in set
tling claims in San Francisco and
other places that suffered from fire
following the earthquake.

FINED FOR DYNAM|7|NG FISH IN RIVER

a large number Of fish In their pos
session. The circumstances showed
that the fish had been killed by dyna-
mite, and on being charged with the
offense Troxall admitted his guilt. He
was brought to Pendleton by Deputy
Turner while the two sons were al
lowed to return home.
When arraigned in court this morn
ing Troxall made plea of guilty, and
Judge Ellis at once imposed sentence.
BY the sportsmen the dynamiting
of fish is looked upon as the most
heinous crime in the fish and game
code. In fact, It is treated as such by
the law, for the penity prescribed is
more severe than for any other Of
fense. Among local anglers there is
astonishment that a man should dy-
Mantle for fish when they can be
caught so easily. AS blasting is an
indiscriminate slaughter and drives
fish from the stream, all rejoice that
the recent arrest was made. However,
there Is regret, as Troxall is in such
circumstances that his Imprisonment
will be hardship on his family.

FIND SEVEN INDICTMENTS At HEPPNER

Otis McCarty, who shot John Con-
nelly near Pine City, Morrow county,
two weeks ago, was exonerated from
any wrong doing by the grand jury
which convened at Heppner during
the recent court session. At the time
of the accident McCarty and two other
men were attempting to arrest Con-
nelly, believing him to be implicated
in the car burning at Foster. After
Connolly had refused to comply with
McCarty's third command to halt the
latter fired at him with a shotgun,
the wound proving fatal.
At the coroner's inquest held over
the remains of Connolly the jury ex-
onerated McCarty from all blame in
the matter. But as there was to be
a grand jury for the Heppner term Of
court, District Attorney Phelps stated
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-05-28

Because he dynamited fish in the
Umatilla river above Bingham Springs
station, J. ]. Troxall, of Weston, now
faces a 5000 fine and a 30-day term
in the county Jail. The sentence,
which was imposed this morning by
Judge Ellis after Troxall had pleaded
guilty, is the minimum under the law.
However It will be severe on the
prisoner, for being poor man, he
cannot pay the 5000 fine and so will
have to serve 100 days in jail in lieu
of the same.
The arrest and conviction Of Trox-
all was due to the efforts Of o. f.
Turner, deputy game warden, and he
is the fifth man whom that official
has bagged for violation Of the fish
and game laws.
Friday evening Mr.. Turner received
information from parties living near
Bingham Station that dynamiting had
been done there. Accordingly he
boarded the next freight train and
the next morning took up the search
for the culprit. He was rewarded by
finding Troxall and his two boys with
