A shipment of 5000 circulars on
Umatilla county was sent to the Har-
riman immigration bureau headquar-
tors at Omaha today for distribution
to westbound colonists who are now
pouring into the northwest on the
cheap colonist rates in effect during
March and April.
The publicity committee of the
Commercial association, consisting of
T. T. Geer, II. c. Willis and Bert
Huffman, ut meeting last evening
hand should be sent east as soon as
possible in order to be placed in the
hands of intending homeseekers, and
after this supply Is exhausted it is
probable that a new circular will be
issued and placed with the Hartman
people for distribution in the east,
and perhaps also along the line Of
the Union Pacific, Short Line and o.
r. & N.
A number Of advertising circulars
are being issued by various irriga-
ton and land companies in the Echo
and HermistOn district, which will
also be distributed in the east, and
with the letter-writing campaign in
the public schools Of the county, 1t
Is thought the county will he thor
oughly advertised this spring.
The colcnist rates now in effect
are bringing thousands of people to
the northwest and while compare
lively few are stopping in Pendleton
the same is true OF every other point,
outside of Portland. The colonist
tickets are good for passage to Port
land and a large majority of the
homeseekers &C to the end of the line
before stopping, expecting to come
back to inspect places which may
have attracted their attention as
they passed on westward.
BY placing the Umatilla county cir
cplars In the honds Of the colonists
in the cast it Is hoped that many of
them will make Pendleton and Una
tilla county their objective point af-
ter they have visited Portland.

one Sunday game. He was asked to
allow the use of the grounds free for
that occasion, but declined to do so,
though he offered to take 20 per cent
OF the gross receipts instead of the
usual 25 per cent.
The proposition of renting the
grounds outright was then taken up
and Mr.. Matlock offered to lease the
grounds for a year for $500 or for
the baseball season for 5000. 1t was
the nvoted to accept the grounds upon
one Of the conditions named, the con-
tract to be drawn later by the, execu-
tive committee. Shortly after Mr..
Matlock's departure the proposition
was discussed by the members present
and 1t was unanimously decided to rent
the grounds for a year, also to secure
an option for the following year II
possible.
Under the arrangement agreed up
on the baseball. people will have entire
charge of the grounds all through the
year and will have to keep the
grounds, fence, ETC., in repair. How
ever, the proposition is regarded as a
better one than the percentage ar
rangement, which has been used in
the past.
By having a flat price upon the
grounds the association hopes to be
able, through large crowds. to finance
team this year that will be a credit
to the town. 1t is proposed to play
as many games as possible with Walla
Walla and during much of the season
1t is probable that excursions will be
run alternately from Walla Walla to
Pendleton and vice versa.
In selecting a manager for the COM
ing year L. G. Frazer was found to
be the unanimous choice of the asso-
citation, and he accepted the position.
BY his election the position of secre-
tary was made vacant and Carl Coo

IRRIGATION FRAUDS.
Settlers Demand Return of Their
Money from Company.

Money from Company.
The Oregon Daily Journal says of
the climax OF the irrigation fraud at
tempted by the Columbia Southern
Irrigation company of Creek cOun-
ty, upon homeseekers:
Settlers on the tracts of the Column
bia Southern Irrigating company in
western Crook county, incensed at
the alleged deception and misrepre-
sentation which has been practiced
upon them. have taken the initial
steps to place a period on the COM
panys operations, and 1t is probable
that Attorney General Crawford will
be asked to concel the contract of
one of the largest private irrigation
projects in the state of Oregon.
Complications are added to the
proceedings which will be taken
against the company by the fact that
practically s150000 has been collect
ed from the settlers who will lose the
entire amount in the event of the
cancellation of the contract which
the company holds with the state.
unless the company can be compelled
u TtSlpTe lne IunuS IN ltS possession.
A large portion of these, however, is
said to have been invested in prop
erty elsewhere
Scores of persons in both Wash
ington and oregon have purchased
lands in the Crook county project
and will await with no little appre-
hension the outcome of the fight
which the settlers will wage to gain
possession of their funds and
straighten out the tangle in which
the company is involved.
Deception Alleged.
The project includes $4,000 acres
of the finest irrfgable lands in Crook
county, and fully 10000 acres of this
amount has been sold at an average
of $40 per acre. Settlers charge that
under the present inadequate system
of irrigating there will never be suf-
ficient water to reclaim more than
half the total segregation.
W. A. Laidlaw is the majority
stakeholder in the company. Robert
W. Wilson, state representative from
Multnomah county is president, and
James w. Balm, secretary.

Wyoming Sheep Commissioners Are
Getting Busy.

An important meeting of the state
board of sheep commissioners will be
held in Cheyenne on Friday, when
the board will plan for the work of

state during the past year, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
The meeting will be attended, In
addition to the members, by DIR.
Lowell Clarke. agent in charge Of
this district, and several government
inspectors and a number of state in
spectors, including c. E. Very of
Rawlins, in charge of the southern
district; r. 3. Minty of Sheridan, in
charge OF the northern district and
Cole Campbell of Douglas, in charge
of the central district.
Since the last dipping pen inspec-
tion scab has broken out in Laramie,
Albany, Big Horn, Sheridan and
Crook counties. An effort was made
to induce the government to take
charge of the work of eradicating
scab from these counties, but with
II is doubtful II the board can ar
range for a general dipping pen in

ton of all sheep dipped in the five
counties referred to, thus cleaning up
these counties.

The Tribune continues on the scab
situations:
r. Is. Minty. state sheep Inspector
for Northern Wyoming, located at
Sheridan, is in the city to attend the
meeting of the state hoard Of sheep
commissioners tomorrow.
Inspector Very has just quaran-
tined 10000 head Of sheep belonging
to Joseph Letter, near Clearmont.
Wyo. Letter recently imported $50
bucks from Washington which were
infected with scah and the entire
flocks were exposed. The sheep will
be quarantine1 for two months and
then dipped. The bucks passed the
government inspectors and were
shipped as clean.

PAYING TAXES RAPIDLY.
Rushing Business Expected Till After
Friday Next.

Tax payments have been coming in
fast at the sheriff's office during the
past few days and there is every indi-
cation that a rushing business will be
done until after Friday, the 18th, on
which date the 8 per cent discounts
cease. Yesterday the sum of $500
was collected, and today the office
has also been filled almost continu-
ally.
In opinion of Sheriff Taylor about
half OF the total taxes will be paid
up by the 18th, as the prospect Of Sc
curing a per cent rebate appeals to
most property owners. OF those who
do not pay early and get the rebate
the greater part make half pay
ment during the spring and the second
payment before October l.

 Alton Railroad Deal.
 Here is a little chapter of the Chi cago and Alton Railroad deal that has been one of the leading sensations of the country for some time past, that never has appeared in print so that the people could digest the truth. The administration of Theodore Roosevelt has proceeded against E H. Harri. Alton deal. MT. Roosevelt is posing in and trying to place Mir. Hartman in the attitude of the man who has been
 Now. what are the facts anent this so-called deal?
 It will be recalled that the Alton re-
 
 riman's absence in Alaska He has nevertheless been held by public opin- ion chiefly responsible for 1t, and his as- sociates In the scheme. Messrs. Gould, Stillman and Schiff. have in large measure escaped the condemnation which has been his portion. The idea has prevailed that ME Hartman plan ned the deal before he left for Alaska. and that what took place dur Ing his absence was simply the carry ing out of his ideas.
 Mir. Hartman. to his credit be it said, has not sought to escape any blame which attaches to the transaction by shifting the burden upon the shoulders of his associates. His friends say, how ever. that upon his return from Alaska. he was. in fact. displeased at what had been done while he was away, feeling that mistake had been made.
 This. however, did not prevent him fro mgoing ahead with his accustomed energy to make success of the trans

action Complete success depended up- on making a market for the bonds which had been issued to the Hartman Gould-Stillman-Schif syndicate at 65.
 It is said Mir. Hartman secured the passage by the State Legislature of law extending the permissible savings bank investment to these Alton bonds
 As fact of extraordinary interest in view of recent developments is that this law was signed by Gov. Theodore Roosevelt. Thus the signature of Roose- welt completed the Alton deal by giv- ing the Alton bonds the prestige which attaches to a savings bank investments Yet at this very time the essential facts of the Alton readjustment--stock, k, stock-watering. and ail--i1ad been made public.
 Several years later, as President of the United States, Mir. Roosevelt be- lieved 1t to be his duty to proceed against MT. Hartman and condemn this very deal which he himself, as Govern or of New York, had helped to consum- mate.
