Trouble ON the Other Route.

Cars from the Oak street barn did
not fare so well, rocks being thrown
at number of points. There were
several arrests. A brick was hurled
through the window of a car in
which Assistant President Mullally
was riding, narrowly missing his
head.
Instead of making a run into Mar
ket it was decided to end the trip al
Kearney. While the turn was being
made workmen on building threw
pieces of brick on the car. This was
followed by a fusilade by the crowd
which was quickly scattered by the
police.
All the cars from the Oak street
barn carried passengers. among them
heing a young woman. 4 number of
teansters drove teams onto the
tracks, hut the police quickly forced
them tn drive ahead.
At moon the number of cars on the
tine was increased to 10. Although
no seriou US outbreak occurred up to
that hour the increased number OF
cars made 1T impossible to have good
protection for all.

PROTESTING
FARMERS WILL MEET SHEEP

Tense Situation Results I'm Special
Session Of Official Sheep Inspectors
at Eugene, and the Resignation of
DIR. j. Christie, Deputy State In
spcctor, Rather Than Enforce the
Law.

Eugene, Ore, May 11.-Lane .coun-
ty farmers are protesting loudly
against the new stock law which re-.
quires them to dip their sheep every
year and to pay an inspector S5 a
day and his expenses to do the work.
Some have gone so far as to declare
that If the inspector comes on their
premises they will meet him with a
shotgun.
DR.. j. Christie is the deputy state
sheep inspector for this county. He
recently caused portions OF the law to
be published in the local papers, and
when the farmers became acquainted
with its provisions he was warned by
number of them not to appear on
their premises. In order to get the
matter settled and to receive instruc-
tions as to the procedure to be taken,
DR.. Christie sent for DR.. W. II. Lytle,
state sheep insr ector; DR.. S. w. Nc
Clure, federal inspector, and f. N.
Hutchinson, of the bureau of animal
industry, to come. to Eugene. They
arrived here yesterday to look over
the ground, and found the farmers as
hostile as DR.. Christie represented
1t appears that the new law was
framed expressly for eastern oregon
sheepowners. and that the western
Oregon farmers woh own few head
of sheep each, were not taken into ac-
count. The Lane county farmers
claim they cannot afford to pay an
inspector to dip their sheep as can
the wealthy sheepowners Of eastern
Oregon, and, Furthermore, that most
OF the sheep of the valley are in a
healthy condition and do not need to
be dipped.
Messrs. Lytle, Hutchinson and Nc
Clure thoroughly investigated condi'
tions here, and while there has beer
no official announcement, 1t is said
that they have agreed to let those
flocks which are not affected go with
out dipping. but say that where 1t II
found that they are diseased the law
must be complied with.
DR.. Christie, while the Inspector
were here, rendered his resignation
as deputy state inspector because, OF
account OF the hostility Of the farmer'
in regard to the law, he would II
attempting to enforce II incur thei
enmity, thereby injurin.; his practice

are familiar with reservation affairs
that the report of the inspector was
not favorable to the superintendent.
The coming of Indian Commissioner
Leupp to the Umatilla reservation is
thought by many to mean that the
condition here will be thoroughly in
vestigated and that a man who will
work to the interest of the Indians
and the community will be named to
have charge of this important reser-
walton.
This afternoon Congressman w. R.
Ellis also received a telegram from
Senator Rourne telling of Edwards
resignation and stating that he will
be relieved here as soon as his sue.
cessor can reach the agency.
Thompson Goes Also.
County Judge Gilliland stated this
afternoon that he has been requested
by the department of Indian affairs,
through Agent Edwards, to transfer
ali of the Indian Suardianships from
those now holding them to the agent
Of the reservation.
This request Judge Gilliland states
that he will grant. should there be

U. of o. Referendum May Fail.

With only two weeks in which to
file petitions for the referendum with
the secretary of state and only four
petitions filed to date, aggregating
less than 200 signatures of the neces-
sary 1866 for the referendum of the
university appropriation, the question
now arises as to the legality OF the
petitions already filed and in circula-
ton, and the probabilities are that the
whole thing will be knocked on the
head on account OF an error on the
part OF the drafters OF the petition in
failing to state the title Of the act
correctly. The question has been sub
mitted to the attorney general for an
opinion, which will probably be forth
coming at once.
