A movement has been started at
North Yakima to establish a munich
pal stable yard in which incoming
farmers can leave their teams while

a North Yakima dispatch. Now that
North Yakima is about to have as

left while the farmers are trading or

These business men say that so
many teams standing along the bus-

The farmers insist, on the other
hand, that North Yakima is more
than anything else a farmers town,
and that they should be allowed to
retain the hitching post system.

than a municipal stable yard would
be. The question will be discussed at

'If we had the stringent laws of
England and proposed in many states

height of the country's development

should be regarded in that light.

Subject OF Settlers Wr. z
A dispatch from Prineville q
Oregon Daily Journal says:
w. A. I.aidlaw of Portland, foS .er
president of the Columbia Southern
Irrigation company. and at present its
heaviest stockholder, was hanged in
effigy last night or the main street
of the town ow Laidlaw, which is To-
Gated in the center of the irrigated
district CT western Crook county.
Settlers who own land under the
company's canals prepared the dunn
my and, after pinning a placard on
the coat, bearing the name of the
former president, raised the body by
means of a rope around the neck
over the arm of a telephone pole.
The dummy was found there this
morning, where 1t had been quietly
suspended during the night in front
of the bank building owned by the
I.aidlaw Ranking & Trust company.
The demonstration is the result of
intense feeling which has been kim
died against the company during the
past year and which 1t Is said will re-
suit IN the hanging In effigy other Of
ficers of the company.
Feeling against the company for
its alleged mistreatment of the set
tiers under its canals sprung up over
year ago, was given an added i'm
petus when Governor Chamt erlain
visited the section last June and de-
nounced the company for its viola
tions Of laws and rules governing
such projects, and received still more
fuel when the report on the COM
pahy's work by the govern engineers
of the reclamation service was re-
Gently made public.
This report held the present irri-
Cation system to be practically worth
less and of little value or no per-
manent value, Will. the expenditure
OF $40 an acre. the amount of the
lien fixed by the state land board,
would be sufficient to provide an
adequate iriigating system, includ-
ing storage reservoirs and canals of
suitable width to carry an abundant
supply of water to thoroughly re-
claim the entire segregation of 27,-
600 acres OF land.

PORTLAND'S HEAVY SHIPMENTS.
Aggregate for the Month of March Is
Over S1.25O.OOO.

Portland's exports during the month
of March aggregated a total value OF
approximately $3.50, 900, says the Or
egon Daily Journal. This is most
remarkable showing in view of the
fact that a serious strike interferei
considerably with the handling of lum-
ber during good portion of the
month. Large shipments of flour to
China and Siberia help swell the total
oriental flour shipments alone being
valued at more than 100000.
European wheat shipments were
comparatively light owing to the car
shortage and the consequent inability
to get grain to the docks. One large
steamer cargo of wheat was Dispatch
ed for the orient, or vessels under
charter for Europe would probably
have had quicker dispatch.

There is widespread dissatisfaction
among small owners of both cattle
and sheep in the southern part of
Umatilla county over the distribution
of range in the Blue mountain for
est reserve and over the management
of the reserve in general.
The small owners who have lived
claim that the large owners living at
distance are monopolizing the
range in the reserve and that some
thing; must be done to protect the
small owner or he will be forced to
abandon his business and leave the
country. without the privilege of
ranging in the reserve he cannot live
on his farm.
Numerous instances Of what seems
/ to be gross injustice have been
! brought to light since the distrbu-
| ton of the range in the Blue noun
tain reserve at Sumpter last fall and
the dissatisfaction among the small
owners continues to increase as time
goes by.
|
the stockmen of the south part Of
Iimatilla county complain of being
forced to go to Sumprer to attend the
range meeting. They claim that q
meeting should be held in Pendle-
ton for the accommodation, of Uma-
tilla county stockmen who comprise
large proportion of the applicants
for range in the eastern section of
the Blue mountain forest reserve.
Sunpter is out CT the way and many
of the small stockmen cannot afford
to go there and remain away from
their homes for weeks while waiting
for the range allotment.
Demand an Adjustor.
In the second place the small stock
men demand a disinterested adjustor
or range disputes, outside of the big
stockmen and the forestry officials
| They demand a government adjustor
who will see that the rules of the
forestry department are justly en-
forced and that the interests of the
actual home owners living near the
reserves are protected.
Numerous instances of small stock
men being denied grazing privileges
! for half of their stock have come to
light, and in many of these instances
the small owners are pioneer resi-
dents and have used the reserve
range for many years.
a petition will perhaps be sent to
the forestry department asking for
the appointment of a disinterested
adjustor who shall investigate range
disputes and see that the people who
are entitled to range are not denied
their full rights.
