East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-07

Portland, Ore, Feb. 7.-As the re-
suit Of an investigation undertaken
by the Evening Journal as to the
republican sentiment in regard to the
next presidential candidate on the
coast, opinion all over the coast is
apparent that Taft will be the favor
ite of the Pacific delegation at Chi
cago, although Hughes will have a
following and perhaps La Toilette.
California looks to be solid for
Taft, as does Idaho. The battle
ground will be in oregon and Wash
ington.
A strong Hughes sentiment is found
about Bellingham, Wash, where he
is receiving considerable support.
In Seattle La Toilette is spoken of
as strong contender. In Tacoma
the choice runs between Taft and
Hughes. In Spokane and. Walla
Walla Taft and Hughes are picked.
In oregon Taft leads with a grow
ing tide of enthusiasm for Hughes
and La Toilette to contend with. In
eastern oregon, Baker and Union
counties, La Toilette seems especial
ly strong. Multnomah county is the
center of the Hughes enthusiasm, al
though Taft is in the lead at present.

YAKIMA LAND 10 OPEN.
Government VIII Throw 1,145, 900
Acres Open to Settlement.

That 1t is the intention of the de-
partment of the interior to endeavor
to open 1,145,000 acres of land in the
Yakima reservation to settlement this
year is the statement contained in
the annual report of the department
just issued from the government
press at Washington, says the Yaki-
ma Republic.
Whether or not the preliminary
work which has been done in the way
OF classifying and valuing the lands
will be completed in time for the
opening this year remains to be seen,
but 1t is the general opinion that If
the work is not done this year the
reservation will be opened to settle
ment early next year in time to allow
of the new settlers getting in their
crops for the harvest of 1909.
Valuable Land Available.
Those who are acquainted with the
character of the lands which are to
be made available for the white far
mers are aware that some of the most
valuable land in the country is con-
tanned within the reservation, and
that there will be a great rush for
holdings goes without saying. The
lands will be valued and the success
full applicants will have to pay in in
stallments this purchase price
which goes to the Indian owners-in
to the usual homestead fees.
One of the most immediate results
of the opening of the reservation will
be the rapid development of the res
ervation towns and with the prospect
of the early influx of hundreds of
white farmers to the reservation spec
ulators are looking to Topenish and
Wapato real estate as a good prop
osition. But North Yakima. as the
metropolis of the valley, will benefit
to great extent also.
The wide interest taken in the
prospective opening of the reserva-
ton is indicated by the hundreds of
letters of inquiry from all parts of
the country which have reached the
local United States land offices dur
ing the past month or two. People
In the middle western states, particu-
lerly, are anxious to have a look in
when the time for applying for hold
ngs arrives

This is a little dialogue that en-
sued at 2 o'clock this afternoon be-
tween Circuit Judge Bean and D. w.
Wilder, foreman Of the jury in the
Haaga case. The jury is now out
further "deliberating."
Although the Haaga case was given
to the jury shortly after o'clock
last evening, no agreement had been
reached up to 2 o'clock this after
noon and it is now considered doubt
ful IL verdict can be arrived at.
AS to how the jury stands of course
nothing authentic is known. Today
a rumor has been widely circulated
placing the situation at II to in
favor of conviction. Whether or not
this is correct remains to be seen.
Among those who have watched
the trial closely there is a feeling
that one or more upon the Jury is
obstinately holding out for acquittal.
In choosing the Haaga jury Dis
trict Attorney Phelps exhausted his

today he stated that had such not
been the case the trial jury would
have been differently composed.

been listed with Manager Sam Bitt-
ner for the second public sale to be
held in this city tomorrow. The
property consists of 4S head of horses
and colts, three head of cattle, seven
head of hogs, nine wagons and bug
gies, 10 sets of harness, wood hay
and other small articles in large
quantities.
The sale will begin promptly at

their property on the grounds in the
fair pavilion promptly at that time so
the sale may not be delayed. Col.
William F. Yohnka of Ritzville, one
of the ablest auctioneers in the coun-
try, will assist Col. ]. NJ. Bentley in
the auction and the sale will be con-
tinued with two auctioneers until all
of the property listed is sold
AS this sale has been widely ad-
vertised an enormous crowd is ex-
pected and buyers from different
parts of the northwest will be here
to make purchases. All of the stuff
listed for sale is first class and some
excellent teams will be offered as
well as drivers, saddle horses and
stock horses, besides other valuable
livestock.
As the total proceeds of the last
sales day were but little over $4,-
900, the management is delighted with
the prospects for the second day,
which will far exceed the first in
amount of property offered.
The merchants of the city are an
ticipating an excellent trade tomor-
row. also, as special sales have been
prepared and extraordinary trade in
ducements have been offered. Far
mers from all over the county are
coming to attend the sale and promi-
nent stock buyers from eastern

The success of the market days Is
highly gratifying to the management
and to the business men of the city
who contributed literally to start the
events a month ago.
