lUNlIED PRESS LEASED WIRE
Washington, May 4.-The supreme
court of the District of Columbia has
stricken from the record charge
against Secretary Ballinger, that as
secretary of the interior he shirked
his official duty in refusing to pass on
certain homestead claims on the ST.
letz Indian reservation. The charge
was made in an injunction case, in
which it was alleged that because Bal
linger had been attorney for the
claimants he refused to consider the
cases after he became secretary of the
interior, but passed them to Frank
Pierce, his first assistant.
Ballinger declared it was the usual
and proper course of business to refer
such matters to Pierce.

THE EAST OREGON
CROP YIELD WILL
Be BOUNTIFUL
FRUIT AND GRAIN LOOK WELL,
AND THE DEMAND FOR LABOR
BOTH ON FARMS AND IN RAIL-
ROAD BUILDING is EMPHATIC.

"The people of Eastern Oregor
are experiencing more rain than
they have had for many a season,
and they are looking forward to a
bountifuI yield" said Labor Com
missioner Hoff yesterday afternoon
TO a representative Of the Capital
Journal. Mr.. Hon is just back from
an extended trip into Wallowa, UNA
tilla, Morrow, Gillian, Sherman,
Hood River and Wasco counties,
where he has been making investi-
cations of labor conditions and along
this line he reports that he found
but few violations of the law and
wherever any we're found they were
summarily dealt with.
VIII BE Big Crop.
"A few Of the counties in the past
two years have not experienced as
good crop as the average" he con-
tinued, and the people are excep-
tionally well pleased with the out
look this spring. There has been
much more rain than usual and it
insures a bountiful yield, not alone
in the grain bearing counties, but in
the fruit bearing counties, and with
them all It is going to be season
of prosperity.
"The people in many of the coun-
ties where rain IS not as plentiful as
it might be have discovered pro-
cess whereby they can do with a
great deal less rain than usual. Their
process is to do more surface work
-pulverize the ground--and it has
been found wherever tried to work
greatly to their advantage.
Labor Conditions Good.
"The labor conditions throughout
Eastern Oregon are splendid" he
further continued. There is a
scarcity OF help among the farmers,
among the fruit men and among the
railroad builders and the wages paid
are the highest that have ever been
paid in the history of the country.
The demand for men in all lines is
greater than the supply and consid-
cradle trouble is being experienced
in securing the necessary help"

$40 for Being Drunk.

John Doe and William Ricketts,
were up before Judge Sorenson in
police court yesterday afternoon,
che rged with being drunk and dis
orderly The old plea of getting the
booze from outside was carried out,
Sut it did not convince the court that
he should be lenient on that account.
While the usual fine for getting drunk
has been SIS, it is becoming apparent
to the officers that the tempter is
again afloat in the city and so the
court imposed a fine of $40, which
was promptly paid.
To discourage the carriage of booze
from neighboring places it has been
deemed advisable by the officers that
a fine of $25 should be placed as the
minimum, so that the city will not
lose all the revenue. 1t is expected
that from now on this will be the
regular fee for drunk, whether a
nice quiet one or one of the disorder
" kind.

r. R. Ellinwood has finally been
appointed the permanent representa-
tive of the Furey-Culver Co. at We

with Mr.. Culver yesterday. The
agency was last year in the hands of
F. r. Colbert and e. M. Elliott, who
are no longer with the company
Mr. Ellinwood will not require a
partner for the reason that both Mr..
Furey and Mr.. Culver have located
in the Methow valley and are build
ing residences at Carlton, where the
main Office will be hereafter, instead
of at Spokane, as in the past. This
move was necessitated on account of
the fact that several hundred acres
have been sold with a planting con-
tract. Mr.. Culver will devote large
part of his time to this work of de-
velopment. He will also take care
of the buyers and investors sent by
Mr.. Ellinwood to look over the pro-
ject.
Mr.. Ellinwood will continue to use
the same Office opposite the postoffice
which was occupied by Colbert &
Elliott.
