Expressage on Six Sheep ss6.

c. Bonabel OF Glasgow, Mont, who
recently purchased six yearling RAM
bouilet rams from the Cunningham
Sheep & Land company, shipped them
by express to Glasgow, paying at the
rate of 10 cents per pound or SIC per
head for the shipment. The total ex-
press charge on the shipment from
Pendleton to Glasgow was 500. Mr.
Bonabel will put these fine rams with
his we'll graded ewes and expects to
return for a larger shipment some
time during the fall. He was well
pleased with his purchase and ex-
poets to interest a number Of Mon

That the Umatilla Indian reserva-
tion is a fruitful source of income and
business for the city Of Pendleton is
shown by the fact that practically
$125,0O0, or $125 per capita, for ev-
cry man, woman and child of the
tribe has been paid out during the
past year.
This amount of money has been
put out to some members of the tribe
in large sums, to others in monthly
installments and still to others in only
partial payments of the total sum
due them. Many heirship titles are
in dispute, and until these are set
tied and the rents for the
lands in question and from the es-
tates OF deceased Indians can not be
paid out, but it has been the policy
OF Agent McFatridge to pay every
cent due every Indian. except small
minor children, as fast as the money
was collected, where there was no
dispute over its possession.
This vast sum of money has been
expended among Pendleton business
firms as son as 1t was paid to the In
dians, and has formed large part
of the business volume Of the city.
The amounts to be paid from year to
year will increase as more and more
heirship lands are sold, and within a
few years the tribe will be drawing
the largest per capita payments Of
any Northwest tribe.
There is now but very little dissat-
isfaction among the Indians as to
any policy being pursued by Agent
McFatridge on the Umatilla reserva-
tion. A small number OF the older
Indians, including hief No Shirt, and
Umapine, perpetually complain about
something, but among the younger
and more progressive Indians there
are no complaints, and the tribe is
making more vital progress than any
of the other Northwest tribes.

but has been passing several weeks
in the bunchgrass region Of Eastern
oregon recently, says the Telegram.
Last year Morrow county produc-
ed 100000 bushels" he says, "but
this season she will harvest about
100000. The wheat produced in this
section Is raised mostly in the foot
hills around Heppner, while the
praires around Penland butte and
the Columbia river have no need OF
combined harvesters, as the grain
had barely sprouted before it dried
up. l took a buggy ride all through
the northern end of the county and
found no field worth harvesting.
Around Upper Eight-mile and Hard
man, in the southern part of the
county, wheat will average about 25
bushels to the acre, and as buyers are
offering rs cents a bushel at the
railroad stations, those having wheat
will make money this year.
"But Morrow county farmers are
out of debt, as a result of several
good crops and good prices. Many Of
them have money to loan out, and so
they are able to stand dry season
at this time, without trying to mort
gage their farms in borrowing to tide
over another season"

Salem, Ore, Aug. SIN an opin-
ion by Commissioner Slater the su-
preme court today affirmed the de-
cree Of Judge ]. B. Cleland OF the
circuit court OF Multnomah county in
the case of the state against Joe
Young, who was convicted of as
sault with a dangerous weapon upon
years ago and is now serving a sem
tence OF six years in the penitentiary
The principle defense set up by
Young was that the assault was nec-
essay to prevent Van Dram from
committing a crime upon Young's
wife. The court holds that a husband
is not justified in killing or attempt
ing to kill another to prevent the de-
bauching of his wife by artifice or
fraud, and II the act is by the con-
sent Of the wife. the husband, find
ing the offender even at the time and
killing him, is guilty OF manslaugh-
ter. This ruling puts the stamp OF
disapproval upon the theory of the
unwritten law.
Consideration of the petition for
rehearing in the case of the state VS..
T. ]. Luper, convicted of perjury, was
rendered unnecessary because the de-
fendant has been pardoned in the
meantime, and the opinion affirming
the judgment OF conviction given sew

Springfield of collecting a poll tax
levied by the village councillors.
Some of the citizens had refused to
pay the tax and County Attorney
Erickson was appealed to in an eff

county attorney refused to act in
the premises on the ground that the
law providing for such tax was
not enforceable in villages. And
from an opinion rendered by the at
torney general in a Blue Earth coun-

county attorney was right.
