Toxic, July Measures of retali-
alton, such as boycotting American
goods, are contemplated by influential
business men, who insist the San
Francisco demonstrations are the out
come Of racial hatred. According to
japanese contention, the latest dis
elimination in San Francisco is a fla
grant violation of treaty rights.
The seven chambers of commerce
met Jointly and resolved to address
the principal chambers of commerce
in the United States, asking their CO.
operation in maintaining trade rela-
tions between the Japanese and the
United States, and appealing to the
United States to stop abuses of their
countrymen, and also addressed an
appeal to Roosevelt.
The appeal to the chambers says
in part:
''The people in some sections of your
country have acted in a manner cal
culated to prejudice our legitimate
rights. Japanese are frequently sub
jected to unjust treatment by the
lawless element prevailing. Unless
this is speedily stopped the i'll feeling
which our countrymen harbor may
have an unhappy effect upon the de-
velopment of our commercial rela-
tions. We are confident you will do
your best to eliminate the present
causes of disorder, thus 'nsuring our
common future prosperity"
In an appeal to Roosevelt they say
they are unable to remain silent spec
tators of the state of affairs in San
Francisco.

0. R. { n. TO MAKE WRECK NEWS PUBLIC

Agent F. ]. Quinlan today received
a circular letter from General Man
ager ]. P. O'Brien of the o. r. & NJ,
announcing that hereafter 1t will be
the policy of that company to give
the earliest possible publicity to all
details of wrecks and accidents on
the o. R. & N. system instead of
maintaining strict secrecy as in the
past.
The circular says that hereafter all
information concerning accidents
anywhere on the system will be given
to the press as soon as the first in
formation reaches the offices of the
company, in order that the public in
general and patrons of the road may
know whether their friends who may
be travelling are killed or injured,
thus saving much worry and annoy
ance to the company and painful sus-
pense for the friends of passengers
on wrecked trains.
This publicity will be greeted with
much satisfaction by the people all
along the system Of the o. r. & N,
as heretofore 1t has been impossible

IN SQU|REs' FAVOR
NEITHER EXPECTS BATTLE

Burns Processes the More Confidence
of the Two-Jeffries VIII Referee
the Fight-Both Men are I'm Per-
feet Condition-One VIII Enter the
Ring at 175 Pounds, the Other at
1s1-Poolselling at Ring.

San Francisco. July with the
Squires-Burns fight three days away,
interest in the match is mounting to
fever point. Out of town sports are
beginning to arrive and the seat sales
are booming.
In statements today the fighters
say they do not expect the battle to
go the As rounds scheduled. Burns
expects to win inside of is
Squires inside of IL.
Squires Is now an to 10 favorite
over Burns, with but little Burns
money in sight. 1t is thought that
Burns hackers will wait till the last
minute before sending in their coin.
Poolselling will be permitted in
the arena on the day of the fight.
Jeffries, who will referee the bout,
arrived here this morning. He will
visit Squires this afternoon and
Burns tomorrow, and talk over the
articles and conditions of the bout,
so there will be no misunderstandi ding
when the men step into the ring.
Squires is in perfect trim, and will
do little work during the next three
days. He has been training for the
encounter nearly seven weeks and
does not carry an ounce of surplus
flesh.
Burns will enter at IT'S pounds and
Squires at 1871. The fight will start
at 2.

to obtain any information concern
ing wrecks or accidents, with the re-
suit that the company has been Bit
terly censured for withholding facts
to which friends of passengers have
been justly entitled.
The policy of all railrad companies
has been to keep the cause and re-
suits of wrecks secret as far as pos
sible in order to shield employees or
officials who might have been un-
justly censured by the public and for
other reasons, but as the wrecks will
happen and as the public will find it
out, the company has wisely decided
that the better way is to give the real
facts to the press as early as possi-
BILE in order that no false or exagger-
ated reports may be sent out in the
absence of authentic information.
The newspapers especially appre-
ciate the new policy of General
Manager o'Brien, as 1t has been very
difficult in the past to secure any
authentic information until after
badly garbled reports have been
sometimes sent out.

. There are many large farms In the
Northern part of the county now.
where the school houses and farm
houses have been abandoned, the
wells have been filled up and the
country depopulated. The large
farms are handled by a few hired
men and are poorly cultivated.
On these large tracts the weeds run
riot and these tracts were the sources
Of supply for seeds which have been
scattered to all the wheat section in
the north part OF the county.
1t is useless for the small farmer
to go to the expense of killing off the
weeds, while the weeds on large
farm adjoining are allowed to ripen
and scatter over all the adjacent
fields, and for this reason many of the
small farmers have become discour-
aged and for the past two or three
years have not been able to keep down
all the weeds.
Small Farms VIII Pay.
The rage in Umatilla county Is to
have large farms, ranging from 1000
to 5000 acres. These large land hold
ers have said for years that small
farms will not pay. Let us see.
The wheat land that Is now being
ruined by the weeds in the north
part Of the county will produce 80 to
As bushels of wheat per acre, and
wheat is worth 60 cents and upwards
in this county now.
A 40-bushel crop on 100 acres. at

low $3.50 for expenses of growing
and harvesting the crop and you have
$4,000 profit left. How many fami.
lies in Umatilla county. in eastern
Oregon. in the United States are MAX
Ing $4,000 clear profit per year on an
investment of $4,000. which is a
moderate price for a half section of
this wheat land?
The small farm will pay and in the
opinion of many farmers the small
farm Is the only cure for the terrible
weed evil which is now seriously af-
flicting the wheat belt of this county.
This year the loss of wheat from
| the weeds will amount to many
thousands of dollars. On the land of
William Reeder near Helix, It is esti-
mated that at least so acres of 40
bushel wheat VIII not be cut this year.
The loss on this tract alone will
amount to about $4,000.
Mr.. Reeder owns 1900 acres in
Umatilla county and lives In Tacoma.
He claims that the renters are re-
sponsible TO the county court to keer
the weeds down and the renters claim
that they will not pay high rent on
foul land and go to the extra expense
of keeping weeds down. so it is almost
| certain that rentals on this Kind OF
wheat land will be seriously affected
by the conditions now existing in the
county.
The county court is determined tC
hold somebody responsible as the con-
| tinued spread of weeds is extremely
damaging to the county This illus
tration is cited as typical of condi.
| tions and not because the Reeder land
is any worse than dozens of other
| tracts.

PINKERTONS IN THE UNIONS.
Proven by Documents Submitted in
Haywood Case.

Boise, July 1.-When court recon-
vened today for the 51st day of the
Haywood trial, Morris Friedman, a
former stenographer at Denver of
Pinkerton, was recalled and a fight to
get into evidence the records he
copied while there began. The COM
potency of these documents was seri-
ously questioned. The arguments
were lengthy and technical.
Judge Wood admitted the reports
of Friedman. Much of 1t is a rehash
of his previous testimony, and all the
reports showed, that the Pinkertons
absolutely controlled the situation in
every union.

Changes that mean much to the
future of Pendleton and Umatilla
county are now being made in land
titles upon the reservation, and among
the few who are informed as to the
progress of events, much interest is
being taken. During the past 60
days or more SO Indians or mixed
bloods holding allotments upon the
reservation have applied for patents
to their lands and it is now known
that something like 25 or so applica-
tons have been granted In the dis
position of the land after patents are
secured by the allottees lies the inter-
est of the town and county.
Under the law an allottee may ap-
ply to have patent issued to him at
any time, though the regular time for
the granting of patents to allottees
on the Umatilla reservation is yet 10
years distant. Under the law the
department may, upon the recommen-
/ dation of the agent, issue a patent in
fee simple. In the past but few APP
plications of this kind have been
granted, but of late the department
has evidently become more. liberal in
the matter. When an allottee applies
| for patent to his land the notices are
posted upon the bulletin board in the
postoffice, and the board now shows
that total of SO have so applied. all
practically within the past two
| months. That some patents h<e
been granted is shown by the fact
that the patents have been filed for
record in the recorders office. How
/ ever, but small percentage have
been recorded thus far. and they are
said to be the cases where deals for
/ the leasing or sale of the lands have
| been made with the Indians by white
men.
! But little has become known re-
I garding the extent to which patents
have been granted, as no publication
( is made of the fact that they are
/ issued. The patents come to the
agent, and by him are turned over &c
the Indian allottee. From an authen-

about 80 patents have been granted

instances the applicants have beer

Through action of the finance COM
mittee of the city council the $4,000
matured levee bonds have been taken
up and the city now has no outstand-
ing leyee bonds other than the s10,-
600 issue made last year. The 100000
issue just redeemed represented the
original cost of the old levee. The
bonds were sold 20 years ago and in
local circles were generally known as
the "forties," They did not fall due
until today, but as the money for
their redemption was available, the
payment was made last Friday.
In redeeming the OLD bonds the
s29.500 which had accumulated in
the levee sinking fund was used and
to make up the remainder S2500 was
borrowed from the general fund and
the rest from the funds of the water
commission. These amounts will be
repaid as soon as the new levee bonds,
authorized at the recent election, are
sold.
The bonds just redeemed drew Z
! per cent interest, while the new issue
will bear per cent interest or less.
