Great Boon TO Stockmen.

+ Thus there is settled, apparently
for all time, a problem which caused
no end of truble, inconvenience and
expense to the stockmen of Umatilla
county. The charges were SO high
that many preferred to drive their
flocks 100 miles around or ship them
across on the railroad rather than pay
the toll, whil going to and from the
summer range il the mountains.
A fight for free roads was taken
up several years ago and through freq
roads have often seemed TO be -
most a reality, something has come
up at the last moment TO dash ths
hopes of the stockmen to the ground
Last April the department, in reply
to a request from the county court
offered to turn the roads over TO the
county but insisted on the right to
collect charges as before. This offer
was promptly turned down. The
court expressed a willingness to take
over the roads but insisted that they
should be absolutely free. The de-
partment then notified Major Swarts-
lander that if he could gain the con-
sent of the Indians to an abatemeyk
of the tax that the roads would be
turned over free
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-08-11
Swartzlander Secured Signatures.

AS it was due to the objection Of
the Indians that the roads had been
kept closed this long, Major SwaYts-
lander had faint hopes Of securing tho
necessary number Of signatures to the
petitions sent out for him TO circu-
late. He went to work, however, and
few weeks ago when he sent in the
petitions with his recommendation
they contained the names Of more
than 500 Indians, clear majority Of
all the males on the reservation. A
few Of those who consider themselves
influential objected to the free roads
but the majority readily signed re
petitions and their wishes prevailed.
Some of the Indians desired to ro-
monstrate against turning over the
road from Cayuse to Wenaha SPRINGS
to the county for the reason that they
did not want automobiles on the read
for fear their horses would be fright
ened along some Of the dangerous
places. A remonstrance was aceor l.
ingly circulated bu, only 80 naRes
were secured and the department ae-
cordingly declared that it would not
rescind its order OF last April, giving
the road to the county.
There will be three of the stock
roads across the reservation. The
main one will extend from this city to
Meacham, while another VIII come
into this main road from the south
and another from Adams on the north.
