Of Interior Ballinger is about to make
an extensive trip to the western part
of the United States to investigate the
complaints Of the homesteaders Of
Idaho who claim to be unable to get
titles to their land without great
trouble. Secretary Ballinger will
likely accompany President Taft on a
part of his trip. Among the ANNOUNCE
ed plans of Secretary Ballinger is one
for the further extension Of the re-
clamation service throughout the
country.
Secretary of Interior Ballinger TO-
day announced that he will visit AL

Declaring that the state has not in.
troduced evidence sufficient to con-
meet the defendants WITH any crime
Attorneys Raley and Fee moved this
afternoon to have William Edwards
and Frank j. Ely dismissed from GUS
tody and not held to appear before
the grand jury. In the arguments up
on this motion it was alleged that
the state had failed to corroborate the
testimony of Dickens, stating that his
testimony was not corroborated and
could not be given credence.
District Attorney Phelps declared
that the testimony had been corrob-
GRATED, holding that the finding of
stolen articles in their possession, as
Dickens said they would and accord
ing to his description was corrobora-
tive. The original bills of lading and
records of complaints were also in
troduced to corroborate the story of
the self-confessed thief
In the course of his remarks the
district attorney declared that no
promise of immunity had been made
Dickens and that he would be held to
appear before the grand jury and
compelled to stand trial, the same as
any other accused man.
The opinion prevails among those
who have been present at the hearing
that Ely and Edwards
will both he hound over

Washington, March 12.-It was as
certained here today that the treas
ury is in no better condition than it
was when Cleveland issued bonds to
meet the current expenses of the gov
ernment. The house ways and means
committee has practically decided to
add most Of the tax imposed during
the Spanish American war, vita prob
ably new items added. The COM
mittee is reported to have provided
that between sixty and seventy mil
lion are to be raised by this form of
special taxation. President Taft at
meeting of the cabinet today SUBJ
mitted his first draft of a special mes
sage. The part relating to special
taxation received the closest atten-
tion.

GRAIN WAREHOUSE CHARGES ARE
REDUCED 25 CENTS PER TON

That the Pacific coast elevator
company and the Puget sound ware
house company will reduce their
charges for handling grain from 10

two grain companies.
This reduction VIII so into effect

vance was due to the higher price Of

ANOTHER FULTON RIVAL APPEARS
IN JUDGE BURNETT Of SALEM

Bourne and Francis j. Heney to bring
about such defeat. Bourne's influ-
ence with President Taft is problemat-
ical, and what Taft thinks of Heney
Is public knowledge. Should Heney's
influence carry any weight with Sec
retary of State Knox, which, undoubt-
edly il does, he may be able to work
through the cabinet officer but IL is
also well known that Knox and Sena-
tor Fulton have for some time been
"tillicums" in politics and personal
friends, and it is not probable that
Knox would turn against him.
Hitchcock Boosts for Fulton.
If Senator Fulton gets the appoint
ment he will probably lay the credit
at the feet of Frank II. Hitchcock,
for whom he did valuable work dur
ing the Chicago convention and who,
t is known, has intlmated that he
is attempting to force the selection Of
the former Oregon senator in pay
ment of a campaign debt.
Judge stephen A. Lowell OF PEN
dleton who aspires to the federal
judgeship, is being made much ovei
to the president by a certain clique
and all is apparently working against
the interests of Fulton. with Judge
Burnett in the race, however at
tempts may be made to secure the
withdrawal of the Pendleton jurist.
Senator Chamberlain is apparently
paying little attention to the contest
for judgeship. and If he has manifest
ed concern over the chances of the
appointment of Fulton, he has not
let II be known.

of operating the warehouses has been
reduced sufficiently to permit of the
reduction. Machines for piling grain
are now in general use in all of their
warehouses.
The Pacific coast elevator company
and the Puget sound warehouse com
pany represent two Of the four big
grain companies that have chains OF
warehouses in this county. The Pa
cific coast company operates on the
O. r. & n. and the Puget sound COM
pany along the Northern Pacific
branch line.
The reduction Of % cents per ton
in the handling charges will mean
three-fourths cent per bushel to farm
ers. Should the reduction be made
by all the grain companies doing bus
mess within the county Il would mean
a saving in the neighborhood Of s4O,-
600 per annum to the farmers.

| while the second date Of June % will
probably be cut out and given to
ontario. The Malheur association al
so desires to have a sales date for
Vale, declaring that there will be al
most as much wool to be offered there
as at Ontario ond the buyers will
probably be asked to go to Vale, June
81.
The wool clips in the vicinity Of
Baker City have been well contracted
for in advance and it is believed that
the clip can be cleaned up on the first
sales date.
The Shaniko dates are satisfactory
and it is probably that the Heppner
dates will not be changed. Elgin's
date of June "a is not satisfactory to
the Wallowa county sheepmen, but it
will probably be allowed to stand.
Buyers May Object.
The entire schedule, as far as the
growers are concerned, will not be
ready to announce for several weeks.
As to what the buyers will do in re-
gard to ii IS not known. They may
insist upon the schedule as suggested
by them, but Secretary Dan p. Smythe
of the Woolgrowers' association, said
this morning that he thought the
buyers were inclined to be fair and
that a satisfactory agreement could be
arranged He thought the buyers
would be willing to consult with the
growers.
Smythe says that so far, the dates
suggested have been quite satisfactory
and declared there was no reason why
buyers and growers could not get to-
gether. He says the sheepmen want
dates upon which they can have the /
greatest amount of wool in the ware
house to offer the buyers and as this
is what the latter want, there will

As a result of the important meet
ing Of the executive committee Of the
state woogrowers' association held,
here last evening a representative
from this state will probably be sent
to Washington to present some data
to the ways and means committee OF
congress and facts and figures con-
cernlng the cost Of production OF wool
In this state will probably be gather
ed for the use of this representative.
The proposition OF the tariff on
wool Is very important one at this
time as the ways and means commit
tee will probably present its tariff re-
vision schedule at the coming session
OF congress. and there is a persistent
rumor to the effect that the present

The national association is sending
n large lobby to Washington to work
against this proposed reduction and
while II is not known for a certainty
what was done at last nights meeting
1t is believed that action looking to
the securing OF facts concerning the
cost Of production in this state will
be gathered and placed in the hands
OF n man to be sent to Washington
from oregon.
A prominent wool grower stated this
morning that while the popular op!n-
ion seems to prevail that wool cam
be produced cheaper now than when
the present rates were put into ef-
feet, that the reverse is true and that
in fact the cost Of production now is
much greater than ever before. He
declared that this statement could be
backed by facts and figures.
II will probably be shown that the
cost Of labor is much greater than
ever before, that 1t is now necessary
to own or lease private ranges instead

Portland, March 12.-Ex-Senator
C w. Fulton's prospects of plucking
the federal judgesh'p plum were
darkened today when it was learned
that Judge George H. Burnett, of
department No. /, Third judicial dis
trct, Salem, Ore, had been recon-
mended to President Taft for the Of
flee, and that his sponsors had among
them according to the best authority,
Judge w. b. Gilbert and Judge Chas
l.. Wolverton of the federal court,
says the Portland Journal. From au-
thoritive sources the news came
that the two jurists had submitted
to the executive, separate recommen-
dations.
Opposition to the appointment Of
Fulton as Judge of the federal court
gathered impetus when the news
transplred that Judge Burnett would
become an active factor in the race,
and a movement was put afoot to in
undate the president with protests
against the former senator.
Judge Burnett is popular and is ap-
parently being supported by the more
conservative wing of the republican
party and by those who believe that
abalty should precede political prom
ises and pledges in the appointment
of federal officials.
