CROP EXPERT HERE IS OPTIMISTIC OVER
OUTLOOK FOR YEAR IN EASTERN OREGON

In eastern Oregon for the purpose
of viewing the crop conditions, Hy-
man II. Cohen, market editor for the
Oregon Journal, is in Pendleton to-
day He arrived this morning from
the Echo country where he made an
investigation of the crop conditions
in that vicinity.
Regarding the outlook in the light
land section near Echo, Mr.. Cohen
speaks very optmistically. On land
from which but scanty returns have
been had during the past two years,
as high as 25 bushels of wheat per
acre will be threshed this summer.
There will also be much 20 bushel per
acre wheat in that section. A feature
of the outlook near Echo and also in
other light land sections farther west,
according to the market expert, is the
fact that the grain fields are uni
formly good. AS a result of the bene-
ficial rains that were general all over
the country this spring. the whole
light land empire will have a good
crop.
In his report to the Journal regard
ing the outlook in Sherman county,
Mr.. Cohen said:
This wheat crop of the Grass val
ley section of Sherman county may
properly be considered mortgage
LITTER In fact, it is a life saver for
the country and will put out of debt
dozens of farmers in this section.
The Grass Valley country is hold

ing up the reputation of Sherman
county this season and the prospec-
tive yields here are as good as any
in the couunty-and that is speaking
Volumes for the county never had
such a grain crop before. This APP
plies equally to acreage and average
yield per acre.
There is much 80 bushel wheat in
the Grass Valley country this season
and ii Is wheat that will be of tip
top quality from every present indi-
cation The heads are not only rec
ord-breaking as to size. but they are
full to the top with as choice wheat
as has ever been turned out on the
North Pacific coast.
Barring any accident during har-
vesting operations, there will not be
half enough, in fact, little more than
quarter enough warehouse room to
take care of the output. In no other
season has any considerable difficulty
been experienced in this regard.
Harvest will start in a limited way
on some of the ripest grain during
the coming week. Fall wheat Is rip
ening so fast that it will be but a few
days before the combines will have
rush orders. Nothing outside of a
very wet harvest can do more than
passing injury to fall wheat. The
crop is fully made and is awaiting but
q few finishing touches of nature to
make it ready for the cutting.

BRIDGE is NOW A
NEAR POSSIBILITY

There is a possibility that the long
wished-for bridge across the Una
tilla in the western end of the city
will be secured in the near future. At
the meeting of the council last even
ing, the matter occasioned a long dis
cussion, and, though no action was
taken, all agreed that the bridge is
almost necessity and should be con-
structed as soon as possible.
Councilman Brock, who is a men,
ber of the school hoard, declared
that such a bridge would solve one
of the most perplexing problems now
before the board, namely, how to re-
lieve the crowded condition of the
west end school If a bridge were
constructed, he said, it would be an
easy matter to send large number
of the pupils across the river to the
enlarged north side school.
One of the councilmen recalled the
offer of Fred Walters. owner of the
Walters mills to deed the necessary
land and to donate $1,000 toward the
construction of such a bridge and
Mayor Matlock declared he had made
the same offer.

BRYAN REPLIES
TO WATTERSON
Commoner Declares He Has Done
Most Of His Work in Spite Of
SOuthemer's Opposition.

Lincoln, Neb., July 11.-Under the
caption. Mount Watterson In Erup-
tion," Bryan's Commoner today re-
plies TO the recent editorial attack
of Colonel Henry Watterson on Bry-
an. The Commoner says in part:
Bryan confesses he has not tried
to please Watterson and that may
account for any popularity Bryan
may enjoy. He conresses he did not
consult Watterson when he made his
fight against Parker for temporary
chairman and did not consult Waiter
son when he introduced the resolu-
ton against Belmont, Ryan and Nor
gan. (Wonder IL Watterson feels
sighted like one of the financiers be-
cause he was not included) and Bry-
an did not consult with Watterson
when he declined to join with Murphy
in nominating a candidate for presl-
dent.
Bryan pursued course which
seemed to him the most calculated to
advance the interests or the democrat
ic party and through 1t the interest of
the country. He has done most of his
work not only without Watterson's aid
but in spite of his opposition. He
awaits without fear the verdict of his
work at Baltimore"

MEN NOT WORKING AND WHO |LLNOT WORK
MAY Be GIVEN CHANCE ON CITY ROCKP|LE

"He who will not work shall not
loaf" is the way the council intends
to paraphrase the famous edict Of
Captain John Smith of jamestown. At
the regular session last night the al
dermen decided that hereafter when
ever a man out of employment refus-
es a job when it is offered to him.
he shall be taken into custody and put
to work on the rockpile. 1t has not
yet been ascertained whether or not
the city has an ordinance which will
permit of this disposition of loafers
and the city attorney was instructed
to frame such an ordinance IL not.
The action of the council last night
resulted from the large number of
idlers in the city who, 1t is said. de-
cline all offers of employment on
farms. The matter was brought up
by Councilman Dyer who made a
motion that an ordinance giving the
city authority to work vagrants on
the street or rockpile be drafted in
case such a one Is not already In ef-
feet.
In support Of his motion, the coun-
Gilman related an experience of his
own. He declared that, desiring a
man to work on his ranch, he walke
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-07-11

the entire length of Main and Court
streets and accosted avery man whom
he found sitting on the sidewalks and
finally secured laborer after his Of
Ter had been refused by several
score. ASK any of the farmers about
this city, he said, "and they will tell
you the same story These fellows
hanging about the city protesting to
be looking for work but they wouldn't
take a job on bet. l propose that
upon evidence from any reputable
farmer that an idler has refused en-
ployment that he shall be vagged and
put to work for the city,"
His motion when put carried unan-
imously.
The meeting of the council last
night was an exceedingly light one.
Aside from the Dyer motion, about
the only other business transacted
was an ordinance ordering the con-
tract with the Warren Construction
compny for the improvement Of West
Court street.
The matter of purchasing an addi-
ton to the Oiney cemetery was dis
cussed but 1t was decided not to take
action until a thorough investigation
Is made

FINDING BUTTON MAY CONNECT
COLUMBIA GEORGE WITH MURDER

T A little bone button may be the
means of convicting Columbia George
of the atrocious murder of A-te-me at,
the aged squad whose dead body was
found lying in the Umatilla river last
Sunday morning. The button in
question has attached to it little
piece of pink cloth and it was found
on the spot where the struggle pre-
ceding the murder took place. Its
particular value as evidence against
the accused Indian lies in the fact
that suit of torn pink underwear
was found in his camp at the old
agency. The top button of the draw
ers is missing and there is evidence
that it was torn from its fastenings.
The other buttons on rhe garment are
Identical in appearance with the one
found and the shade of the little
piece of cloth is exactly the same as
that of the garment.
The button was first noticed at the
scene of the murder by DIR. L. NJ.
Henderson. When Sheriff Taylor and
Major Swartzlander searched Colum-
bia Georges camp, they found the
suit of torn underwear but thought
nothing of it until they saw the but
ton. The full significance of the
discovery then dawned upon the
sheriff and he rushed back to secure
the underwear and found that the
button and piece of colth had beyond
reasonable doubt been torn from
the drawers found in the Indians
camp.
The theory of the officers is that in
the struggle the old squaw had seiz-
ed the top of her assistants under
garment and had pulled at it so
forcibly that the button was torn
loose
Other additional evidence secured
hinges on the bottle partly filled
with alcohol which was found near
where the struggle took place. Ac-
cording to Major Swartzlander, four
of his employees met Columbia George
coming from Pendleton on the day OF
the murder and testify that he was
drunk and that he had a bottle in
his pocket.
For awhile it was thought that a
glove upon which were fresh blood
stains would be established as the
property of Columbia George but II
proved to belong to another Indian
who had had the nosebleed.

TO URGE REVISIONS.
Tariff Change Will BE One of Planks
i'm Bull Moose Party.

Oyster Bay, July 11.-Immediate
revision of the tariff downward is to
be one of the demands made by the
new party headed by Colonel Roose-
velt While the former president was
non-committal regarding the course
he would urge the Chicago convention
of the new party to adopt, it develops
ed from the talk Of a number of the
leaders who have conferred with Col
onel Roosevelt in the last few days
that the party doubtless will declare
for immediate revision
According to the present program
the demand for action will be re-
stricted to those schedules which, in
the opinion of the party heads, are
obviously high. The woolen and cot
ton schedules were pointed out as
perhaps the best examples. Whether
the platform will enumerate specific
schedules and pledge itself to
scale them downward, or will content
Itself with a general declaration, has
not been decided.
