The Umatilla Indians Must Xow TVorjk Out Their Own Future. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sept. 22. (Special.) The recent abolition of the old Umatilla Indian res ervation. In Eastern Oregon, and the dis continuance of the office of Indian agent. Is in line with the general policy of Indian Commissioner Jonesv who believes, at the proper time, in throwing the Indian upon hfs own resources. It is not - all In dians that can now be so , treated, but the Umatlllas have their 'own allots nients, the younger generation has been educated and given a start In life, while the older Indians have it fully within their power to sustain themselves with out further aid from the Government. "Under these conditions. Commissioner Jones believes it would retird the prog ress of the Umatlllas "to longer keep them under agency restraint. The former agent, Charles Wilklns, has made a good record since he has been stationed at Umatilla, and for this rea son he was retained in charge aaf the school system as bonded superintendent This office is a little more than super intendent, however, as Mr. Wilklns will be .expected to act as general adviser of the Indianp and to render them such as sistance a& they may need from time to time. At the same time, he will not ex ercise his former- control over them. The Indians are io be given every liberty and privilege that -is enjoyed by their white neighbors,. tinder the new condition, education will be the paramount aim of those In charge of the Umatilla Indians. The school, al ready very efficient, will be continued, and possibly broadened to a slight de gree, but, whereas under .the agency much attention was paid to the care of the Indians outside of the schools, all efforts will now be concentrated In ono direction. Commissioner Jones believes that the only way to make the Indian a self-supporting citizen is to launch him forth into the world, cut loose all Gov ernment support In the way of annui ties, give him his own land and instruc tion as to how to use It, and then let him work out his own future. Conditions at Umatilla are such that this can be done, and no doubt Is felt as to the out come. The Umatlllas are a comparatively forward tribe, and there is no apparent reason. In the department's eyes, why they cannot succeed, as a number of other tribes have done before them. This change at Umatilla is the same as was made at Taklma, Wash., several months ago. Those Indians also were found In fit condition to be thrown upon their own resources, and their agency was likewise abolished, the whole being placed In charge of a bonded, superin tendent. v ASSIGNING LEGISLATURE SEATS. Secretnry Dunbar Following Rule,. First' Come, First Served. SALEM, Sept. 22. (Special.) Secretary of State Dunbar has assigned seats to as many members of the Legislature as have requested them, and has proceeded Upon the usual rule of "first come, first served." As those who have been in the Legislature before are more awake to the advantage of a good location on the floor of the legislative halls the old members have secured the best seats. Many of the newly-elected members have not yet sent In requests for particular seats. Those who do not apply at all will be assigned to the seats that remain after the requests have been filled. The center of the room is, of course, the place most desired, and the outside seats are now all that remain except where a groiip of seats has been selected for a delegation and have not been apportioned among the members of the delegation. Tho members from one county are always placed at adjoining esks. In the House the unaligned seats are chiefly on the front and rear rows. In the Senate the seats not assigned are at the ends of the rows. In both the house and the Senate the Multnomah delegation will occupy about the same seats they did at the last ses sion. "Very few changes have been made In the Senate, owing to the fact that there are many holdover Senators and several of the old Senators have been re elected. On the center aisle, just inside the "Senate rail, are the seats of Fulton, of Clatsop, . on . the right, and Brownell. of Clackamas. " on the left. Mulkev. of Polk. Stelwer, of Wheeler, etc, and Will iamson, of Crook, sit at the left of Brownell, while Johnston, of Wasco, Marsters, of Douglas, and Daly, o,t Ben ton, will be in their old scats at the right 3f Fmlton. Crcisan and Farrar, of Marion, have succeeded to the seats In front at the left of the aisle, where Marlon Coun ty Senators have heia forth for these many years. The Multnomah Senator ial delegation will have scats In the first two rows on the right of the main aisle. In the House. Malarkey and Hodson, of Multnomah, and Olwell, of Jackson, and Eddy, of Tillamook,, -have the .four most favorable, seats. They are In the second and third tows from the" front, and on tlther side of the center aisle. The Mult aomah meji. are on- the left side. The leats Just " outside ' the bar of the House, on the right of the aisle, are those occupied by tho Marion County del egatlon. Davey, of Marion, having the first desk. The first. Beat Inside the bar on the left wilL be filled by Carnahan, of Clatsop. Hume, of C003 and Curry, will have the front seat on the right of the aisle, while the opposite seat will be filled by a Multnomah man. who basuot yet been determined. Banks and Jones se cured the second-best seats In the group alloted to the Multnomah delegation in the House, Harris, of Lane, will have his old seat la the second row from the rear, on the left, unless he should oc cupy the seat on the rostrum. It Is perhaps worthy of mention that Harris, Eddy and Davey, the three candidates for speaker, have all chosen desirable seats on the floor of the House, thus pre sumably each evidencing some doubt as to his securing the much more desirable chair in the front of the hall.

OREGON HOPS HARVESTED THIS YEAR'S CROP AS GOOD AS ANY IN THE WORLD, t A Few Sales "Made at "22 Cent's, BBt Most Grovrerslloldlngr Little Baling: Done. SALEM, Or., Sept 22. (Special.) With the, exception of the cleaning up of 'a few yards, the picking of this year's hop crop has been completed, and the crop has .been saved without the loss 'of a bale of hops by reason of -bad! weather. As Manager WInstanley, of the Oregon Hopgrowers' AisoclatIorf;expresses It, Oregon will have as good hops this" year as can be found anywhere in the world. There Is absolutely no fault to be found with the quality. Dealers -have received orders here for choice hops at 22 and 22 .cento for choice goods, and T. A. Lives ley & Co. report that sales of perhaps 500 bales of hops have been made at those figures. The growers who did not contract are Arm. holders, however, and Josephus Duncan Irvine, "of Inde pendence. not many sales are expected at those figures within two weeks at leaBt. As a matter of fact, few of the growers have baled their hope, and they are not ready to give samples or deliver the hops. It has become customary to let the hops lie In the bin from one to two weeks before baling, for they then have a better color and appearance. Inquiry of growers and dealers shows a - disposition to wait until the size of the foreign crop Is dell nltely known before any selling take3 place. The theory of the holders Is that the price will not go lower In any event and that If the European crop should be found as short as expected the price is certain to advance. .- All growers' are rejoicing over the suc cessful manner In which the crop was harvested, but those who contracted at 10 to 12 cents are feeling pretty blue over the deliveries they have to make while their neighbors can refuse offers of 22 cents. It is already quite certain that next year will be a poor contracting year, for the growers will all remember the losses they sustained this year by reason of the early contracts made. Many growers are planning on putting out more hops, so that the hop acreage next year wilt be about 10 ner cent more than this year. LeMay's annual hop crop report, ad dressed to the growers of England, says that the hop acreage In that country has decreased from 71,327 In 1SS5 to 48,027 In 3502, or a falling off of over 23,000 acres. After making estimates of the EngJish crop, and the imports, the report says that there will be a deficiency of 325,000 hundredweights in that country. LeMoy, therefore, predicts that the English grow er will receive a price that will repay all the trouble they have had during one of the meet trying seasons the hopgrowers have ever seen. Based upon the number of boxes ot hops picked In the different' yards this year as compared with last year, grow ers and dealers quite generally estimate the crop In Oregon at S5.000 bales, though there arc some who say that the hops will make a larger quantity than that when baled. When a few crops have been baled pretty fair estimates of the actual yield can be made. HAYS LOSES CONTEST CASES. Decision of Land Office tn Dismiss Sustained by Commissioner. OREGON CITY. Sept. 22. (Specials Four more of Charles E. Hays' famous contesto against timber claims In Tilla mook County have been decided against him by a special rullnsr of the Commis sioner of the Genernt Land Office, and the decisions of the local office sustained. The Pantrymen In the cases a,re Arthur Sanders, Catherine L. Brown. Rocllla M. Sanders and Caleb M. Martin, and the decision of thciCommisloner reviews the testimony of fered hy the contestant.

After the testlmonv for Hays was In the attorney for the contestee moved to dismiss, for the reason thajt the evidence did not sustain the allegations of the com plaint, and the Register and Receiver sustained he motion and dismissed the contest.
