UMAT|LLA MAY

HAS ALL TTTIE ELEMENTS
OF GREATNESS IN FRuTT
No Reason Why Yakima, Hood River
and Medford Districts Should En-
Joy More Notoriety When They Do
Not Grow Any Better or Higher
Priced Apples Than Are Packed
and Shipped Here.

"There is no reason why Umatilla
county should not become as famous
as an apple-producing section as
Hood River, Medford or Yakima"
said Howard Evans, fruit inspector
of Umatilla county, to the East Ore
gonian today.
"The apple growers of Milton have
been offered, within the past week,
from 81 to $3.50 per box for their
apples, the buyers to box the crop in
the orchard. This is the highest
price ever offered in that section and
denotes, not only that the apple crop
produced In that section is just as
high grade as that produced in the
famous apple districts, but it also de-
notes that Milton apples are clean,
free from pests and thoroughly first
class, to command such prices.
1.-THE soil, climate and transpDrta-
ton facilities of the Milton district
are all favorable to commercial Or
chards and we hope to see this profit
able industry developed in that sec
ton until Umatilla county will stand
among the most prominent apple
producing districts in the world. There
is no reason why either Hood River
or Medford should produce better
apples than Milton. We have every
thing essential to the industry"

Seated in chairs and on boxes in
a line extending from the door of the
United States landoffice in La Grande
for $50 feet down Adams avenue, are
As land hungry people, who are de-
ter1nined to hold their places in line
until September 25, when three
townships of land recently restored
TO entry. from the Heppner forest re-
serve, will be thrown open for set
tlement.
w. X. Lyman of Weiser, Idaho, Is
first in line, and he planted himself at
the landoffice door at 8 o'clock Mon
day morning, September 9, deterrnin-
ed to be first in the land opening. II
he remains at his post until the date
of opening he will have sat in the
streets of La Grande for 16 days.
In the line are five women who
occupy chairs on the sidewalk. Mrs.
Il. r. Rosenbaum OF La Grande, Is
the only local woman. The others are
from Idaho.
These As people occupy their time
in reading, visiting with their neigh
bors, and in discussing the probable
ity OF the line remaining in place
until the day of opening. The threat
ened rainy weather has cooled the
ardor Of a number Of the more timid
ones.
The street loafers are now enjoy
ing harvest, for when the people
In line go to their meals they hire a
substitute to sit In their chair until
their return, and so the loafers are
working overtime as dummies, sitting
in line while the real land hunter is
at meals or taking a rest from the
tedious process of sitting still.
OF the three townships to be
thrown open, well informed land To-
Gators declare that there is not more
than 20 good timber claims. The
remainder is "scabby" land which
the people living adjacent TO, will not
file upon.
The people who are In line have
not seen their claims, except in a few
instances, but have paid locators all
the way from $50 to $3.50 for the
numbers and are going to take their
chance.
The police have threatened TO abol-
ish the line, but as 1t Is orderly and
as the business men of the city want
the business, 1t is not probable rthat
such will be done.

Cleveland, Sept. 12.-Secretary
Garfield today outlined the depart
ment's policy regarding the land
frauds now under investigation in the
west.
Railroads, coal companies and
large ranch owners, he declared will
be. compelled to prove their rights
to all immense tracts.
II am making no allegations and
no accusations at this stage of the
game" he declared. II am going to
see just how much land is held con-
trary to law and acquired contrary
to law. 1t will mean enormous sums
to the government, and after this no
one will be allowed to get rich off
government lands"
THE fight might as well be taken
up this fall and be a systematic fight
under fair play rules. Where the
railroads hold land illegally we ex-
pect to see they are restored. 1t
makes no difference what impression
the roads had when the lands were
purchased"

STRIKE Is THREATENED.
Northern Pacific Operators May Walk

st. Paul. Sept. 12.-There is every
indication that within 10 days the tele-
graph operators on the Northern Pa
cific system will be on a strike A
vote of the telegraphers on the entire
warded to headquarters here. By to-
system is now being taken and for
morrow night, or Thursday at the
latest, enough reports ought to have
been received from the different di-
visions to show whether or not Il is
to be strike.
Votes which have already arrived at
committee headquarters here indicate
that the men are strongly in :Svor os
a strike.
The telegraphers demand from the
railroad company flat increase of 10
per cent in wages. This has been re-
fused by the company, although nego-
tiations are not yet ended. If it is
not granted the men declare a strike
is certain.

IS POSSIBLE
CITY WILL FIGHT THE
INJUNCTION BY BYERS
City Attorney, Byers' Attorneys and
All the City Officials But One Were
I'm Consultation Last Evening, and
Special Committee Appointed
No More Signs Allowed on Tele-
phone Poles.

controversy on between the city and
w. s. Byers over the removal Of
Byers' track from East Court street
Messrs. Lowell & Winter, legal rep
resentatives of the mill man, and
Charles H. Carter, attorney for the
city in the case, were all present last
night. Likewise every member of the
council was in his seat excepting
Councilman Hinkle, who, by the way,
has not been an attendant for many
months.
Judging from the discussion last
evening it is the intention of the
council to fight the Byers' injunction
to the end, though 1t is possible that
the matter may be adjusted without
lawsuit. After the matter had
been gone over at length it was de-
cided to appoint committee to in
vestigate the matter more fully and
to confer with Byers. Messrs Thomp-
son, Swearingen and Murphy were
named upon the committee by Mayor
Fee.
AT the meeting last night the prob
lem of signs upon telephone poles
was also taken up and the city at
torney was instructed to draw an or
dinance prohibiting such in the fu-
ture.

$4,000 TONS OF BEETS.
Grand Ronde Crop VIII Yield $780,
900 for the Growers

Field Superintendent E. Sebbelov,
of the Amalgamated Sugar company,
who has just recovered from an i'll
ness and having personally inspected
the various fields during the last few
days, feels confident that the yield
will be in excess of $4,000 tons, says
the La Grande Observer. This has
been an ideal year for sugar beets
and all that is needed now, is few
days of bright sunshine.
1t is expected, IL weather conditions
are favorable, that the harvest will
commence about September 20, and
the factory will start just as soon as
the beets arrive in sufficient quanti-
ties to permit a continuous. run.
Twenty-four thousand tons of beets
means that over 100000 will be paid
the growers within the next 60 days.

STONE DEPOT FOR BAKER.

o. II. & N. Officials Practically Agree
to Construct New Building, Citizene
to Furnish Stone.
During the recent visit of o. r. &
n. officials to the east end of the sys-
tenn. 1t was practically agreed that a
new stone depot building will be erect
ed at that place, the Commercial
club of Baker offering to furnish the
native stone, free, at the quarry near
the city, II stone structure Is erect
ed.
While no final arrangement was
made, II Is understood that the offer
of the citizens and Commercial club
will be accepted by the company.
The stone to be used in the, depot
will be the same as that used in the
new NJ. E. church in this city and costs
practically 60 cents per cubic foot,
laid into the walls of a building. over
1900 cubic feet were used in the
church building in this city, but a
much lower price was made on ac-
count of it being a church building.
1t Is estimated that depot build
ing suitable for Pendleton could be
made from about 5000 cubic feet,
which at the quarry would cost about
80 cents per cubic foot, or $4,000
should the people of Pendleton see
fit to offer the stone free, at the
quarry, as Baker City has done.
The depot to be built at Baker will
require about 1000 to 5000 cubic feet,
IL plans of the citizens are adopted
by the company.
