Leaders Die Hard.

Throughout the night three lead
ers, Col. Guffey of Pennsylvania Rog-
er C. Sullivan Of Illinois and Patrick
McCarren of New York, fought hard
for perpetuation of political power.
The bitterness was increased, partic-
ularly so in the cases of the New York
and Pennsylvania contngents
The real fight started when the
Illinois contests were taken up. George
Mulligan, representing the so-called
Bobby" Burke contestants, declared
Sullivan had sent delegates to the
national conventin whose election was
contaminated through deceit and
debauchery," and declared that Sui
Ivan and his friends had wrecked
the democratic party in Illinois, and
that they were a party to a deal to
defeat the party in the United States.
Sullivan replied saying, the contest
Is "frameup" and demanded that
his delegates be seated.

Indian Commissioner Com
mends Work Being Done
by Agent and Citizens,
PLEASED WITH GROWING
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Francis e. Leupp, Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, Leaves for Spokane
After Weeks Visit at Umatilla
Agency-Delighted With Progress
of the Tribe and Commends Agent
McFatridge in Highest Terms-Win
Visit All Northwest Tribes.

A newspaper man who has made
good in every position which ne has
occupied, is Francis E. Leupp, COM
missioner of Indian affairs, who has
been at the Umatilla Indian agency,
the guest of A. E. McFatridge and
family since July 4.
Commissioner Leupp is highly pleas
ed with the manner in which the af-
fairs of the Umatilla reservation are
being managed by Agent McFatridge
and to the East Oregonian expressed
entire satisfaction with reservation
conditions.
Although there was no special
cause for his visit to the Umatilla
reservation at this time, yet Commits
sioner Leupp went over conditions
there and Investigated numerous mat
ters of importance thoroughly and
finds that the rules of the department
are being faithfully and vigorously en-
forced by Agent McFatridge, whom he
praises highly as an official and as a
citizen.
The commissioner is a Roosevelt
type of man and for 20 years before
he was appointed commissioner Of In
dian affairs by President Roosevelt
he was a vigorous and successful
journalist and magazine writer and
stands high in that profession. Like
the president, he is a hard worker and
enjoys his work and even takes a va
cation while working energentically.
His present trip to the northwest
is for business and pleasure combin-
ed, as he will visit all the Indian res
ervations in the northwest, look close
ly into conditions, hear complaints,
investigate charges and at the same
time enjoy a delightful outing
He is capable of performing an
enormous amount of labor and has a
faculty of getting at the gist of mat
ter at a glance. In this way he is able
to go over the affairs of a reservation
rapidly and so far has been one Of the
most successful and progressive COM
missioners ever to administer the af-
fairs of the American Indians.
He was delighted with the advance
ment made by the Umatilla Indians
and commended very highly the work
OF Agent McFatridge in encouraging
the more intelligent to assume the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship as they
prove to be worthy and capable, The
increase of education and religion
among the Umatillas was especially
gratifying to him and he assures the
whites of this city and county that
the department and the administra-
ton appreciates the efforts of the bet
ter class of citizens to improve and up
lift the Indian character.
The commissioneD was accompanied
by his mother and daughter and left
at noon today for Spokane over the
o. r. & n, from where the mother
and daughter will go to Yellowstone
park for a weeks outing while Mr..
Leupp is visiting other northwest
tribes.

Walla Walla, July S.--If the plans
now being discussed and formulated
/ by prominent citizens of the county
are successfully carried out Walla
/ Wa!la III be connected with Wallua
and tn h.s Columbia river by an electric
car iin by next spring. This state
ment MAS made by one Of the leaders
in the enterprise yester lay. At a re-
cent meeting of the Farmers Cooper
at;ve union the feasib,l.t, OF building
thi' road was discussed and plans ad-
lanced for its completion.
1t is proposed by those in charge
OF the project to secur, the services
of several hundred ia mers and their
teams next winter when the harvest
hes been completed AMI fall seeding
finished. to grade the line from here
;r Wallula.
This was informally placed before
the farmers meeting at its last session
and met with no little favor. As
compensation for this work the far
mers will take stock in the company
to be organized.
Few hinderances could be placed in
the way of these plans as right of
way and franchise have already been
secured for this purpose. All that
now remains is simply the selection
Of grades and the best route over
streams before the actual work grad
ing the road could be commenced.
Rails would be laid from Wallula this
way and ties and materials could =
shipped in as the line is laid. 1t IS
estimated that the grading and laying
of the track can be accomplished in
three months.
Wealthy Men i'm Company.
The company would be composed
of the wealthiest men in the county
who could place sufficient capital be-
hind the scheme to successfully carry
It out. Power may. be secured from
some company manufacturing it as
It is doubtful if the new corporation
would have means to finance the
building of an adequate power plant
The benefits to be derived from this
enterprise can readily be seen. With
n direct line from the Garden City to
the river and the steamboats, now in
contemplation of building, shipments
of grain and fruit could be made di-
rect to Portland without an addition
al bill of lading, Shipping rates
would probably be reduced materially
and the difficulties which are yearly
becoming more pronounced in regard
to transportation of crops will be
largely alleviated,
At present no definite plan of ac'
tion has been marked out but the
promoters of the enterprise claim that
there is little doubt of its eventual
success. A joint meeting of farmers
and men interested in the project
will probably be held within the next
few days when some final steps are to
be taken regarding the matter.

The visit of Indian Commissioner

Mr.. f Nj. Moss has just returned
from the eastern market We asked
him about his trip and the markets,

City.I have found all of these mark
cts depressed and low, especially on
medium and common cattle, and
while cattle of high style and finish

they have had the very edge taken
off. Not so much fear is entertained
for the future outlook for the best
cattle, but anything coming in COM
petition with Western range cattle
will be forced TO much lower level.
L was told that in New York several
of the Hattways boats, plying be-
tween New York and the foreign
market, have been taken off, as prices
abroad for cattle would not justify
shipping.

HON. j. CLOVD BYARS

In giving n short sketch of the past
history, struggles and attainments of
Hon. J. Cloyd Byars, the Democratic
nominee for Congress i'm thisDistrict,
one fact was given which Is OF great
Significance, and reveals source OF
strength which may sweep the
gentleman into congress, II utilized
"a power behind the throne" of
imrelling force and power-n force
which inpelled and inspired him To
successful achievements, and made
him, largely, what he is. it was
stated In Bristol paper, that GER
tain little lady In that city, "feeilng
AN interest in young Byars, took him
In hand, and not only loaned him
law books from her fathers library,
but inspired him To study them. In
stead OF encouraging him To spend
his evenings In her fathers parlor,
talking sense (and nonsense), con-
suming fuel and lights tono purpose,
he was melted TO study these law
books at night until he was prepared
TO enter college. After she had
brought him up TO her hand" and
only after this, she had the good
sense TO marry him, and under such
benign and wholesome influences his
course has been, naturally and neccs :
sarily upward all the time. With
such diplomatic power behind the
throne, coupled with native ability
and laudable ambition he has sue
ceetied, and must succeed at any
thing he undertakes.
Now, what we are thinking of IL,
what hit IL would be To get
this little lady behind her husband S
campaign. If she viii continue Ia
exert her powerful influence and
superior Judgment her husband must
sweep the district, which We hope
and trust she Will do, and II neces.
sary to use the slipper upon him,
TO use IL with vigor but with discre.
tion.
