Conspiracy by Land Sharks.
The whole matter will result in a
bitter contest. One Of the settlers
concerned, whose present interests run
into many thousands, said today, "I
know Just what this means. It is an
organized conspiracy on the part of
land sharks to seize our lands and get
what money thy can from innocent
men who take their word for it that
our land is open for settlement again.

Historical Stream.

The Looking Glass is one of the
historical streams of eastern oregon
and one of the important Indian bat
ties of the early days was fought near
the mouth of the stream. The Cayuse,
Walla Wallas and Nez Perce enjoyed
the fishing and hunting attractions of
this stream from time immemorable
and it was named for one of the IA

tribe and one of Chief Joseph's strong
warriors and strategists. Looking

One thousand picnickers from
Union, Umatilla and adjoining coun-
ties enjoyed the hospitality Of the o.
r. & n. conductors yesterday on q
delightful outing at the mouth Of
Looking Glass creek, 1s miles north
OF Elgin, on the branch of the o. r.

county.
Two heavily loaded excursion trains
left La Grande early yesterday morn

the northwest and during the entire
day the picnickers thronged up the
beautiful canyon of the Looking Glass.
fishing, lunching, climbing the noun
tain side and enjoying the delightful
scenery and drinking from the Look
ing Glass creek, which as may be
judged from the name, Is one Of the
clearest, coolest and most attractive
streams in eastern Oregon.
The picnic was under the auspices
of the La Grande division of the Or
der of Railroad Conductors and about
1000 tickets were sold. Two banda
were furnished and excellent music
was discoursed on the ground and
everybody had a most enjoyable time.
Fine Body of Timber.
The Looking Glass empties into
Grand Ronde river four miles south
of the mouth of the wallowa river
and at the mouth of the Looking
Glass and in that vicinity is one OF
the finest bodies of yellow pine tim
Der left in Oregon. The Stoddard
company owns about $1,000
acres, the Palmer Lumber company
about 10000 and other companies at
least $4,000, so the entire body OF
timber is now decided 1t is estimated
that there is enough timber in that
district tributary to the Wallowa
branch of the o. R. & ~ to last the
mill companies now owning it for
over 80 years.

From that day till this these set
tiers have been vainly endeavoring to
get hearing. Most Of them were
compelled to leave their homesteads
and seek n livelihood elsewhere in or
der to meet attorneys fees and the
expense incidental to the long and
expensive trials at Portland. But no
trials were set, and today these men
have been without even hearing in
the matter.
Almost from the first they were app
preached by persons offering them
small sums for their relinquishments,
asserting that "they had no chance
to wln." They held on doggedly
Within the last six months they have
been the recipients of constant hints
that It was time to sell before they
were ousted by the land office" Still
they hung on.
Last week came a party of men
from Portland who quietly bought
provisions at the local stores and then
hired packers to take them out on
the claims. SO far five men have
squatted on these claims, and each
train seems to bring more, These
squatters claim possession and say
that the Portland land office has de-
cided that these claims are open to
entry again. The price the squatters
have paid seems to have been in each
case $500, payable upon acceptance
of the filing.
settlers Take Determined Stand.
The settlers whose claims have
been thus forcibly taken away from
them are up in arms. They say they
realize that any slackness on their
part means the thrush of hundreds
into all parts of the Siletz reserva-
ton of men induced into paying
money on assurances that these
claims are open for entry, though no {
hearings have ever been had before
any court. l
After consultation with their attor-
neys, the settlers state that they will
fight to the last ditch. l
Today they start out in force to get '
hold of the alleged trespassers and {
hale them them in on warrants charg- |
Ing them with violating the laws for {
