OTHE RCHARGES AGAINST
UMATTLLA INDIANS

Portland, Maya father-in- laws
son today but sent the father-in
to Jail. Following the example of
Ko-ko-ye-a-lash, an Indian woman,
in testifying for the benefit of her
dian policeman from the Umatilla
reservation, gave evidence calculated
to save his son-in-law from convic-
ton in federal court on a charge of
stealing a valuable saddle from him,
says the Journal.
Before the federal grand jury Allen
stated that Bomson had taken the
saddle without permission, and after
using 1t in riding to Pendleton, there
pawned 1t for the purpose of getting
money enough to go on what the In
dians call a good drunk" After
two days, Bomson failed to return
Allen started an investigation which
ended with the finding Of the saddle
in the pawnship. Then he caused
Bomson to be arrested.
Before the court this morning AL
len testified that his son-in-law had
been living with him for seven years,
had been given the freedom of the
place and all his belongings. He add
ed that he had been persuaded to
sign the complaint against the boy
against his will. The United States
district attorney in comparing the
evidence given on two occasions
charged Allen with perjury. The In
dian was put under arrest and his
bond fixed at $1,000.
The interpreter in the case stated
that Allen came to him this morning
and asked INV he might frame his
evidence so that Bomson would not
be convicted. The interpreter said
he had cautioned the Indian not to
make false statements or he would
get behind the bars, but Allen contin-
ued in his purpose.
Bomson was acquitted, members of
the jury not even leaving their seats.

PORTLAND TO KEEP
WEATHER BUREAU

Portland.-Permanen headquar-
ters of the 18th Genealogical district,
embracing the Columbia river drain
age area, and including the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho and
parts of Montana and Wyoming. will
remain at Portland, according to of
ficial advices which were received this
morning from the chief of the Wealth
er Bureau by District Forecaster E. A..
Beals. In addition to his other duties,
Mr.. Beals has also been informed that
ne will be editor of the Weather Re-
view, which is to be issued in this
district every month.
Until the receipt of these advices
there was no certainty that the head
quarters of the district would not be
moved from here to some other sec
tion of the territory, such as to one of
the cities on Puget Sound. Recent
ly the department divided the United
States, climatologically, into IL dis
great drainage areas throughout the
country Previous to this arrange
ment weather data was compiled from
the several states, a group of them in
many instances forming one division,
without any regard to the natural
| drainage areas or to topography of the
country
Since the new plan has been brought
into effect the headquarters of the
Weather Bureau in many of the states
have been moved to other cities. In
Illinois, for instance, the headquarters
have ben changed from Springfield to
Chicago, st. Louis has been made the
headquarters for the Missouri River
country instead of Kansas City. In
fact, in nearly every other district of
the United States shifting of head
quarters to some other city has been
ordered by the authorities at Wash
ington.
Hence Mr.. Beals explains that Port
land was most fortunate in being re-
tanned on the list as the chief point
in a Chronological way of this entire
division extending from the California
line to British Columbia and to the
summit of the Rocky Mountains on
the east. Reports of the weather from
now on will be forwarded here reg
ularly from Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane
Lewiston, the towns in the Coeur d.
Alenes Kalispel, Mont; Missoula,
Mont, and numerous other places.
From these reports sent in Mr.. Beals
will proceed to edit the Monthly
Weather Review, which will contain
everything of interest pertaining to
climate in the west territory making
up big portion of the extensive tract
referred to by the historians as the
Louisiana purchase.
1t is not known definitely that Seat |
tie was after this honor whoch has |
been conferred upon Portland by the |
department, but there was consider |
able uneasiness about the local wealth |
er bureau office until the decision had |
been rendered Mr.. Beals has not been |
notified as to whether the EDITORIAL |
duties now required of him will mean
an increase of salary But he admits
that it will mean much more work for
him. However, he says he is highly
gratified that Portland was made the
permanent headquarters of the 18th
district.

The park commissioners also con-
sidered the Tenth street proposition
at the meeting. They have found
property owners along the proposed
route so Indifferent in some cases and
others disposed to exact too much for
their property. The probabilities are
that the project will be abandoned
and park sites secured in other locali-
ties where the sentiment of the peo-
pie will prompt them to aid the board
in its efforts. The commissioners will
go over the city next week on an in
vestigating tour with the view of TAX
ing options on small spots in the city
that will afford plenty of room fol
