Mr. Knorr says it is his Intention to send, all his shipments in future to Portland. Most of the cattle and hogs from this section have 'heretofore gone either to Spokane, Seattle or Tacoma. The new schedule and connections of the Camas Prarie Railroad make it possible to ship direct to Portland by the Snake River and stock shippers say the Portland market is more satisfactory than the other Coast cities. Orain men also say that most of this year's crop "will be shipped to Portland. The Joint operation of the Camas Prarie Railroad between the Northern Pacific and O.

ENVOYS STORM ABERDEEN APPRAISERS ARE AT WORK 6 Bitter Battle Between Bis and Small Districts Iilkely to Be Waged In Convention Today Some Want County Control. ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 22. (Special.) Good roads delegates assembling here are divided as to the desirability of the state aid roads law and It appears that opponents are In the majority. It Is expected that a resolution urging repeal of the statute will be adopted over the heads of delegates from some of the smaller counties, who are the main advo cates of the law. There is a definite oppo sition forming among some of the Co lumbia River counties. Cowlitz County, for one, has sent a strong delegation, which will contend for a resolution favoring the repeal of the law. The principal objections by the small counties is that appropriations for state aid roads have been frittered away on useless surveys. A proposed road up the Lewis River toward St. Helens is cited as one instance where money is alleged to have been wasted on surveys. Road Selected Disliked. Through the efforts of the Cowliti County delegation an appropriation of H5.000 for a state aid road was secured and the State Highway Commissioner sent a party into the field, which ex pended 16000 of the appropriation and lo cated a road where no one wanted It and that led nowhere in particular. The larger counties are contending that they are taxed under the provisions of the state aid law for merely local roads. On the other hand the smaller counties . that are opposing the law say they pay approximately the full tax for the road fcullding they set even with state assist ance and can do the work to better satis faction and more economically than the Highway Commission has so far accom plished it. Protests Oust Commissioner. Not long ago Governor Hay removed J. M. Snow as State Highway Commis sioner, giving unfitness as the reason. This removal followed numerous protests against the work of the Commission on the ground that an exorbitant proportion of appropriations was expended for sur veys. Friends of the law say that H. B. Bowlby, the new engineer of the Commis sion has not yet had an opportunity to show what he can do. Washington raises a road fund for trunk lines and state aid roads by levy ing a state tax. This tax is added to the annual state levy and is paid by the several counties on the basis of their assessed valuation. State aid roads are those for which half the cost is propor tionately paid by the state fund and the counties benefited. The state aid money is appropriated by the Legislature and the fund is subjected to the usual log rolling Incident to legislative appropria tions. The result is that some counties which pay a high proportion of the state tax in effect contribute to the building of roads in the smaller counties many miles away. In some of the small counties where roadbullding Is not difficult the plan has worked well. In the medlum elzed counties, which as a rule get Just about as much money returned to them as they contribute to the state fund, the sentiment seems to favor entire control rt county road building by the counties themselves. Some of the upholders of the law are charging that the opposition comes from County Commissioners, who desire to have the handling of all the money them selves. It Is expected there will be an attempt to repeal the law in the next Legisla ture and the action of the Good Roads Association will likely have an important bearing on the result. Delegates Storm City. "With every Incoming train and auto mobile, delegates have been arriving to attend the state good roads convention, which will open here tomorrow. That the number of delegates in attendance will be nearer 1000 than 600, Is the opin ion of C. B. Kegley, president of the Btate Grange, who arrived at noon. Tonight's train brought in about 200, Including the delegation from King County and a portion from Pierce. "If this continues," said- President Humbargar, of the Chamber of Com merce, "the people of Aberdeen will be asked to throw open their homes to ac commodate the crowds." The Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce has established headquarters at Hotel Washington ahd the headquarters of the convention will also be there. State Highway Commissioner Bowlby, his chief and assistant engineers and the County Commissioners of Thurston and Chehalls Counties were met at Elma this morning toy a committee from Aberdeen. A con ference was held, at which the Elma cut off, the proposed state highway, which will reduce the distance from the har bor to Olympla several miles, was dis cuss ed.

The convention proper will open tomor. row morning at 10 o'clock in the Grand Theater. From present indications about the only prominent Washington man who will not be preseont at that time will be Governor Hay, who canont reach here Until ' the noon train.

INDIAN FIGHTER OF 1S55-1S56 RECOUNTS BATTLES AND SIEGES OF YAKIMA WAR " i Captain James Williams, 83, Who Gave Lecture at Elk City. ELK CITY, Or., Feb. 2 2. (Spe cial.)

Yakima for Thousands Who Are Expected to Make Filings for Lands. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Feb. 22. (Special.) With the opening of the Takima Indian reservation to public entry and settlement this coming sea- Sit Rebecca Cray Boscow. son, about the last large parcel of Government land in the Northwest passes out of Uncle Sam's public do main. Appraisers are now at work under instructions from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, classifying and appraising the reservation lands under the usual heads of agricultural, grazing and timber land. A separate classification of . the mineral land is made also. The appraiser's work will be finished in a few weeks, and it 1 expected that this will be followed im mediately by an order from the Gen eral Land Office fixing the exact date of the opening, a previous announce ment having been made by the depart ment that the reservation would be opened In 1910. The Yakima Indian reservation con tains 1.200,000 acres of agricultural and grazing land. This Immense tract. reaching from the Yakima River to the foothills of the Cascades, 60 miles in extent, was set apart by the United States Government in 1856 for the use or the tribe of Yakima Indians. Playground to Become Farms. When the-allotment plan was adopt ed by the Government in the early 80s, by the terms of which each mem ber of the tribe was allowed 80 acres of agricultural land or 160 acres of grazing land, over 2000 allotments were made, and this has since in creased to 3000 by reason of children born and the removal thither of mem bers of the Umatillas, KUckltats, Kei Perces and Wenatchees, besides many members of the Flathead tribe, from Montana. But the onward sweep of civilization as manifested in the spread of scien tific agriculture. Intensive farming and horticulture, especially where arid land is susceptible of Irrigation, has modified the plans of the Department of the Interior. A plan that was framed to meet a situation 20 years ago is now found obsolete and new provision must be made to utilize the great wastes that were once used only by the Indians for hunting. Ashing and grazing wild cayuses. The Indians' playground must be given up and the fertile soil made to yield the bounties of the garden. The Wapato irrigation project, one unit of the United States reclamation work in the Yakima Valley, covering 120,000 acres of the reservation, is now under way and will bring needed water to one-tenth of the total land of the reservation. Private canals already water 40,000 acres of the reser vation, and others are contemplated. The geographical situation and cli mate surrounding the reservation make It almost ideal for stockralslng. Pa cific Coast packers who purchase cat tle from the Montana ranges unload them during the Winter months and feed them on the reservation until they are ready to be slaughtered In Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. This is made possible by the abundance of choice alfalfa that is raised each year in the Yakima Valley. Already preparations are being made In North Yakima and In the bustling little towns near' the reservation for the comfort and entertainment of the hundreds of strangers who will rush to the filing. Over 300.000 people filed on the Flathead, Coeur d'Alene and the Spokane Indian reservations, which were opened In 1909, and it is expected that a similar rush will take place when the Yakima Indian reservation is opened this year. Caring for this warm of visitors will tax the hospi tality of North Yakima to Its utmost, and a reservation Information bureau has been organized In this city already to co-operate with the commercial bodies in making the visit of the stran gers profitable and. pleasant. m Royal lias SEEK OFFICE Salem Postmaster's Term to Expire in Few Weeks. FARRAR STILL HAS HOPE Statement-One Candidate Hopes to Force Concession Hawley lay Defer Selection Until After Coming Autumn Elections. SALEM, Or., Feb. 22. (Special.) The term of Squire Farrar, postmaster at Salem, expires in a few weeks, and there is a great deal of speculation as to his successor. Farrar hopes to succeed himself, and Is considered one of the strong candi dates for the place. However, there are several active candidates, some of whom have substantial backing. Frank B. Southwlck has been one of the burden-bearers of the Republican party In Marlon County for many years, is a successful contractor and has the Indorsement of the Grand Army. An other strong candidate is George P. Litchfield, ex-school director, retired business man and close friend of Rep resentative Hawley. John Roland, ex-County Clerk of Ma rion County, and admittedly an able office man, has some influential back ers. W. P. Babcock, school director and manager of the Salem Flouring Mills, has the' support In large meas ure of the younger element of the city. He has extended experience in office work and is a successful business man. H. D. Patton, member of the Legis lature In the last session, Is a candi date, but his chances are not consid ered bright, because of his Bourne ten dencies. He was a Statement No. 1 man in the House, and his friends hope that he will be recommended by Mr. Hawley as a concession to the State ment One Influence. Frank Meredith, who recently resigned as City Treas urer to become secretary of the State Fair board, has been mentioned, but it is believed that he will not make an active campaign for the place. In addition to those who are openly angling for the $3100 job, there are others who are awaiting developments. No one can be found who has ever heard Mr. Hawley give even the slight est Intimation as to whom his probable choice will be. It is predicted by one politician that Mr. Hawley will make no recommendation until next Fall, after election. ALBANY LIKES PAVEMENTS Linn. County Metropolis Will Do More Street Improving. ALBANY.
