Indians Selling Land 10 Whites.

Mere than one hundred allottees on
the Umatilla reservation have been
given final patent to their land and in
turn have disposed of it to white men
during the last eight or ten months,
according to statement made today
by Agent McFatridge. At this rate it
will only be few years until practic-
ally all of the most desirable land on
the reservation will have passed from
the Indians into the hands of the
whites.
In the regular course of events it
would be nine years yet before title
or final patent would he issued TO the
allotteos, as it is only after they Sc
cured patent that the Indians are
permitted to sell or make any arrange
ment to sell.
81 ecial provision has been made,
however, that in instances where the
Indians are educated and show an
ability to handle their own affairs
patent shall issue to he allotee upon
the recommendation of the agent.
hose to whom patents have been
issued during the past ten months
consist for the most part OF mixed
breeds, as this class of Indians com.
prise large percentage of the allot-
tees. In nearly every instance the
land has been sold almost as quickly
as the patent WAS secured, as the
whites watch the notices and are
ready with their bids as soon as the
laud is for sale. In a few instances
the indians have refused to sell, but
have made leases for long terms of
years. These are exceptions, how
ever. The allotments purchased re-
Gently by white men vary in size from
forty to l60 acres.

IDENTIFIES BODIES
FOUND ON STATE ST.

WoIkmen who are excavating for a
new house that q. d. Woodworth will
erect near the end OF State street, un-
eartbed several graves Monday In
two o. them no remains were found, =,
except pieces OF the ootfins. In the
third, however, we're found the bones
Of a Eody which indicated that it had
been buried many years. 1t is said by
old residents that "a tract in this sec
tion of the city was at one time used
as burying ground, but that later
when another place was selected tor
this purpose it WAS thought that all
the bodies had been removed.
1t is learned from MIS-. Adams, who
resides on Paradise Farm and who has
lived in the vicinity of where the
graves we're found for 27 years, that
the plot of ground where the work
men have been eXcavatiug was used
a good many years ago rs a private
burying ground by the Coe family.
The bones OF the man found there,
Mrs. Adams says, are undoubtedly
those OF Guy Perham, who was son
of Judge Perham and who lived at
The DaIles. twenty-five years ago
young Perham while hunting near
Mitchell's Point, accidentally shot
himself and was brought to Hood
River in badly wounded condition
for treatment He was attended by
DR.. Adams, but died in few days
and was buried in the Coe family e
plot. The ether graves discovered,
Mrs. Adams says, are those of Char
lie, young son of Capt. Coe, g, and
those of woman and infant, whose
names che does not remember. Mrs.
Adams also says that it was thought
that the bodies had all been removed.

M0vc Offices to The Dalles.

Many changes are contemplated by
the management of the Open River
Line, the most important to The
Dalles being the selection of this city
as headquarters and the moving of the
managers office here, says the Chron-
iole. On account of the enlarging Of
building of the two new boats for the
upper river at Cello and the rapidly
inci casing business OF the line it has
been deemed necessary to have the
headquarters more centrally located
than at p' esent and q suitable office is
now being sought here.
The two new boats have been under
construction for over two weeks and
are making rapid progress. Reports
from Chief Engineer Kellogg, now in
Fittsburg, show very rapid work on
the machinery and the hull and boil
ers also show steady progress. There
is no reason 10 doubt that both hoats
will be completed at the time expect.
ed. Changes will also be male In the
personnel of the representatives Of the
line. Mr.. Wylie, who has had charge
of The DaIles and vicinity, is to be
made general agent and given a broad
er field of activity and will travel gem
orally throughout the territory tribu-
tary to the line. The freight business
is increasing so rapidly that larger
force is necessary. During July the
freight earnings we're over three times
the amount received in June and 1t is
to still further increase the liver busi-
naca hot Mr. Wviia has haan piven
the larger scope. The showing made
by the o. r. I. Co, speaks we'll FOR
the interest taken in the movement to
keep the river open to the people.
When it is considered that In Ger
many four fiftbs OF the inland freight
business is done on the rivers and
that in the ten years from 1892 to 1902
her inland fleet was trebled. The as.
sertions made by the railroads that
boats cannot compete With the rail
roads can hardly be believed.
The new agent at The Dalles will Ee
j. I. Bagley, who was formerly agent
of the o. Z. d N. at Hood River,
and Is th thoroughly conversant with
transportation methods and can he
depended on to continue the satisfac-
tory service received lately.
The rapid growth of the Open River
Line lately is very favorable indicc
alton of the people of the lnland Em
pine to control their own traffic.
With permanent regular system OF
boats controlled by the shippers,
there need be no fear Of extortionate
rates.

Tried to Burn Liquor.

Last Saturday A. b. Estetenet, a
saloonman Of Bend and we'll known
in this neighoorhood, had his bearing
before Justice of the Peace Vic
O'Connor on the charge Of arson, the
alleged offense being an attempt to set
fire to his own cellar, which contained
about $4,000 stock of liquors, which
he had left over from the first of July,
and which carried insurance of 81, 500.
The trial occupied all day Saturday at
Bend and Geo. l.. Bernier WAS deputy
district attorney. The justice bound

was unable to raise the necessary sum
at Bend he came to Prineville Sunday
morning and gave himself up to Sher-

WILL ORGANIZE
UNIVERSITY CLUB

A meeting will be held Saturday,
August Is, in the rooms of the Com
meIcial Club to organize a university
club and several college men in the
valley who have taken the matter up
expect that the new organization will
start with large membership. Mr..
E. II Shepard. who has taken sn &C
tive interest in the formation of the
club, said today in regard to it:
"a few of us who are in pretty close
touch with affairs In Hood River val
Icy have realized for some time that
we had great many college men In
our midst, but none OF us we're aware
ut the great number until we made n
list. Already we have the names Of
68 college graduates who are residents
Of the valley, and the list s not com
plete.
"Nearly every big city has a uni
versity club end there is no organiZa
tion that is more important factor
in the upbuilding, development and
improvement OF community than n
club or this kind, composed OF men
who have been fortunate enough to
secure the advantages of higher ed
ucation.
university clubs do not, as rule,
exist except In cities of large popnla-
tioh, but every body knows that Hood
River Is the biggest little place on the
map, and the tew college men who
have talked the matter over are very
enthusiastic in regard to organizing
the club. We have, therefore, decided
to call meeting. it will be held
Saturday, August Is, in the CONNER.
cial Club rooms. The preliminary
meeting will take place at 10 O'Clock
in the morning and a subsequent
meeting held in the afternoon, when
the work of organizing will take place.
every man who is graduate, or
who has attended college or univer
sity for one year, is urgently request
ed to be present We believe the or
Iani2ation of club of this kind will
prove helpful to the valley and 30 an
additional attraction to intending
residents who are college graduates
or who have been members of uni
versity club elsewhere" "

LIVES With HOLE
IN HIS BRAIN

Wesley Richards, a young man en-
pioyed by c. f. Markham on bis
ranch near this city, was taken to the
Cottage hospital Tuesday evening
suffering from dangerous fracture OF
the skull. Ii IL not known just how
Richards was injured, but 1t is
thought that be was kicked by a
horse, as a short time before be was
found he bad gone to the barn to do
the chores for the night. The injury
is in his forehead just over the lett
eye and Is four inches long and three
deep. What is considered remarkable
by the physician who operated on him
Is that the brain tissue could be plain
ly seen and PARTICLES of 1t had oozed
through the aperture. What further
puzzles the PHYSICIANS is that Richards
was not killed instantly or rendered
unconscious, as except for the short
time when be was recovering from the
effects of the snest hetin he has been
fully conscious and rational and has
shown no sign of brain disorder. In
probing the wound it WIS thought
that the outside piece of the skull
which was missing would be found,
but it was not located and 20 far it
has not been found. At present Rich
ards is doing as we'll as could he ex-
pected and the doctors say the case Is
the most interesting one that has ever
been in the hospital.

A petition is being circulated get
ting the signatures of residents along
the road between The Dalles and Mo-
sier, praying for wagon road down
the river between this city aud Mo-
sier. 1t ia the intention of those cir
culating the petition to use the old
o. r & N. road he'd, which has been
abandoned for some time. There are
seven miles of this road bed that it is
believed would make one OF the finest
kind Of wagon roads. 1t Is the pur-
pose of those promulgating the scheme
to have loop % mites In length, so
that those going to Mosier would go
to that city by the seven mile road
bed, and return by seven mile hill
This, it is believed, would make the
easiest route to Mosiei, or for Mosier
people to come to The Dalles. People
from the latter place could reach this
city easily by coming by seven mile
hill. and returning by the lower road.

APPLE PRICES.

Eastern ispple crop reports indicate
good prices for fancy western box ap-
pies this year. So far, however, no
sales have been made and 1t is charged
that buyers are combined to bear
prices. The Chicago Packer, how
ever, claims that the reason buyers
are holding of is because they paid
too much money for fruit last year
aud are anxious to size up the situa-
tiun before they invest this season.
In AN editorial it says:
There il no desire on the part Of
The Packer to unduly bear the apple
market. 1t should he established on
an equitable basis. profitable to the
grover, allowing of reasonable profit
to the jobber aud the retailer and yet
placing the fruit in the hands Of the
consumer so that the masses can
affeId this fruit.
Last year the international Apple
Shippers Association met early in
August. AT that convention consid
cradle talk of bearish nature was
indulged in and good many county
papers not posted on facts openly
charged that the organization WAS

pose of keeping prices down. While
the apple operators wer- in Atlantic
City talking conservative prices their
buyers were making race Tor the or
chards in the commercial producing
districts with instructions to get the
fruit. The facts brand as absurd any
claims of trust intentions on the part
of the international Apple Shippers
Association. Ii is next to insane to
even imagine that any combination
could be formed to control prices in
the apple deal, so long as there are so
many In 1t, with such varied inter.
ests.
The Atlantic City convention was
followed a week later by the meeting
of the American Apple Growers con-
gress, where the talk was principally
bulIish, where much was heard OF a
short crop, and where anything under
fancy prices was ridiculed. When the
growers disbanded and reached home
again they found their orchards over.
run with apple buyers, all eager for
the fruit. Bidding in many instances
was almost like stock exchange in
its excitement. Competition was so
keen In some inst stances that prices
bordering on the fabulous we're offered
and accepted. Some fruit sold as high
as 81 and over, orchard run. Values
we're 80 very satisfactory to apple
growers that they picked aud packed
everything they could find on the
trees
The marketing of last years apple
crop was a downright failure from
commercial point of view. Inferior
fruit that should have been used for
by products was put into barrels and
boxes. Tho high price caused 1t all.
In view OF the losses maintained
last year and the dull trade this sea
son there probably will be less specu
lative buying than usual, but no doubt
there will he plenty of competition to
maintain prices ON a reasonable basis.
