IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
PLEDGES HEWITT SUPPORT

A resolution adopted by the South
Fifth Ward Improvement association,
at a meeting OF that organization
Thursday night, pledges hearty support
and cooperation to City Attorney Hew-
lit in his effort to compel the Redondo
railway to secure a franchise to run its
cars into Los Angeles north of JEFFERSON
street. This Improvement association
is composed of that portion of the new
~ annexed territory north of Manches-
ter avenue.
1t is with the idea of debating the
terms of the franchise and securing B.
cent street car fares as far south as
Manchester avenue that the city attor-
nev will bring suit against the railway.
The resolution declares that the petit
tion for the scent fares, submitted to
the council, did not contain one-third
of the signatures that could have been

last evening for Washington on busi-

the affairs of the reservation. While
he wauld make no statement as to the
particular mission it is known that
he is to consult directly with the
department of Indian affairs consid-
ering the question of roads across the
reservation, the bridging OF the Una
tilla river, the extension Of roads for
the accommodation of farmers and
tourists and the question OF payments
TO Indians of money due them for
the rental of their lands
The free highways across the re-
serve have been the subject of much
discussion for some time. The pres
ent ruling governing the driving Of
stock across the reservation are par
ticlarly obnoxious to stockmen and
it is believed that the agent will make
an effort to secure a ruling enabling
him to permit the free passage of
livestock.
The present ruling which allows of
the payment of only SO per month to
an Indian renting his land to a white
farmer has caused much dissatisfac-

ment.
In case the buyers are inclined to
be arbitrary, the growers of wool will
probably not hold for sales days, but
will take advantage of the best op-
portunities offered to dispose of their
clips. Those growers interviewed,
however, have expressed a willingness
to hold until the sales dates, prov!d-
ing the buyers are willing TO meet
them half way.
Chicago Warehouse Plan.
a discussion of the Chicago stor-
age warehouse proposition was in
dulged in last evening and the exeeu-
tive committee ordered a meeting for
all the wool men of the state. This
is to be held in Pendleton, May l. At
this meeting an effort will be made
to ascertain whether or not it is best
to ship the woods to Chicago.
Secretary Smythe said this morn
ing there was no disposition on the
part of the growers to antagonize the
buyers or the securing mill companies,
whether cooperative or otherwise,
but they thought that every avenue
for the sale of wool should be en-
couraged and all be given an oppor-
tunity to compete. That there will
probably be two or three million
pounds of wool shipped to the Chi
cago warehouse this year, regardless
of the acton taken at the big meet

of Mr.. Smythe.
