The wjieal crop ill Wasco coun
ty, ax nearly a the wheiit men can
come to it, will I about !)50,0i
bushels, says the Telegram. The
ernji ul the past year was 750,000
bushels. The increase ,in the crop
is due Id the increased acreage and
the different melhoilB o farming
introduced during the last two
years. 'I'ho method followed the
past lew yeans has been th old
system of the Eastern States. The

Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agricul

PUBLIC LAND SALES
Oregon again leads all states in
tlio amount of money realized
from public lands, having turned
into the treasury $1,4 12,5TB, in
the last fiscal year. This is over
$200,000 ahead of the nearest com
petitor. While these receipts an'
more than $.)00,'X)0 below Oregon's
receipts last year, the state holds
its own by proportion. There
were 12,874. entries made in Ore
gon last year, embracing 1,170,055
acres of public land. In I'M)'.',
there were 18,744 entries in Oie
gon, embracing 1,S15,S55 acres.
Cash receipts that year amounted
to $2,015,526.
According to rejiorts published
in the Klamath Falls papers the
Indians of the Klamath Agency
have gone on the war path and
are after the scalps of Capt. Ap
plegate and his assistants.
They charge that through the
influence o! ( apt. Appli gate the
captain of the Indian police has
rented tribal lands to outside
own benefit;
that the lands were' rented to
K. II. Horning and .Tom Jackson,
of Silver hake, in an unlawful
iliunncr; that they could never do
business with Capt. Applegate as
he would not keep bis appoint
ments, and that as a result
poor management and ni gb-ct of
duty dnuikcn . Indians, men
women, can lie seen on the reser
vation at any time.
Tin y show many more" causes
lor grievance ami alter homing I
n meeting at Klamath Falls, the
following telegrams were sent:
"To 'resident Uoosevcit Wash
ington, I). C. Ws, the Indians,
resiectfully stale that our U. S.
Indian agent fails to do his duty.
This reservation is going down
towards nothing; if he cannot
manage let someone take charge
at once before further trouble.
Answer immediately."
The other telegram which re
fers to the tribal lands reads as
follows:
"To the Secretary of Interior,
Washington, I). C. We, the In
dians, opposing to be approved
application of Abraham Charlie
grazing permit for his own benitii
of tribal lands. It should be
consulted with us as tribal owners
of lands. Answer."
Both of the dispatches were
signed by representatives of the
Indians and will no doubt bring
about an investigation which will
determine the merits ol" . their
complaints.
One of the worst du;l and hail
storms which has visited the city
for years occurred Sunday fore
noon. The hail and rain were
preceded with a terrific wind which
caught up the dust and whirled it
in thick clouds through the air.
For fully ten minutes it was im
possible to see across the street
and houses and stores were filled
with the sand and dirt.
Following the gale a hail storm
of several minutes duration
wrought destruction to scon of
panes of glass. Nearly everv
window in the city which had
west exposure w:m shattered and
sky lights were reduced to splint
ers. Several houses in the city
sustained losses of from 10 to 25
panes and some of the business
places had as many as 35 paries of
glass broken. The bail stones
were about as largei as any which
have fallen in previous years in
I'rineville and they fell as thickly
as snow flakes in the whiter. For
.several hours after the, storm the
;im , ice hanks remained piled up
against the buildings where the
wind had driven them. Even the
heavy rain which followed the
storm of hail failed to melt tlie
lrifts of ice.
, So far as can be learned the
section in the immediate vicinity
of the city was the only one visited
bv a heavv fall of hail ; stones
the brunt of the storm apparently
spending,, itself on the higher
range ol mountains to the north
and east. With tne exception of
damage doni to some of the
orchards and gardens within a
short radius of town no further
reports of loss of property, have
been received.
It is estimated that the amount
of glass broken in different resi
dences and business places
throughout the city will approxi
mate $500.
th government Inspector. He
had removed all the infected sheep
from his herds upon the arrival of
the inspector and after the sheep
bad been inspected and found
satisfactory he horridly disposed
of his sheep by shipping them to
m Kasterc buyer. After the
sheep had arrived East they be
came infected with scab and it cost
the buyer nearly $12,000 to get rid
of the bad job. The matter, of
course, was reported to the bureau
of inspection with the result that
Mr. Hickok decided to issue the
very rigid order to the sheepmen
ol Eastern Oregon which is now
effective."
CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR EXTENSION
The Oregon Railroad & Naviga
tion Company has awarded to the
Pacific Coast Construction Com
pany a contract to build the much-talked-of
line from Arlington to
Condon, a distance ol 45 miles.
Official notice of the acceptance of
terms was received by the Con
strutcion Company yesterday.
While all connected with the tran
saction are reticent, as usual, it is
understood that construction work
will be commenced within a short
time.
The Construction Company ex
pects to be able to complete the
l.ne within five months, and if
these plans are carried out a
splendid wheat belt, 40 miles in
extent, will be traversed by a rail
road line that will relieve a long
felt need in that section. The
consideration named in the con
tract could not be ascertained.
Several bids were submitted.

MORROW COUNTY
LAND WITHDRAWN
For the re-location of a storage
reservoir site for the Umatilla irri
gation project, the land office in
The Dalles has been instructed "to
withdraw from all forms of entry
several townships in Morrow coun
ty. Orth rs were received from the
general land ollice to this effect
Wednesday, and until the govern
ment engineers finish their sur
veys, the land in the restricted
district will not be subject to set
tlement. "The action of the land ollice in
withdrawing the townships in
Morrow couutv," said John T.
Whistler, brad of the reclamation
service in Oregon, "is in accord
ance with the lcsires of the re-
that has been
heavy stockholder in the newly
organized com) any which has just conuoisnnce party
recently bougnt the big Sisson j seeking a new reservoir site since
ranches in Harney county, in the the Willow creek plan was found

Dr. Collins and his associates ; that the reservoir will take up all
have gone back to Chicago for the the land withdrawn, but it indi
purpose of interesting other cam- cates that the engineers expect to
tal, forming a stock company and
taking over the springs, together
with the cattle, improvements and
range.
It is the intention of tlie new
company to expend at least $25,0ti0
if they take hold of it, before ois'ii
ing itto the public. A modern

locate it somewhere witliin the
restricted body.
"We always ask the land ofl'n
to hold back lands from entry in
sections where' we are pushing our
investigations, for it is a great deal
easier to turn the reserve back
than it is to secure it after filings
have been msde by settlers."
The order received a few days
ago by Deputy (lovernmenl Stock
Inspector Lantz that sheep in the
Blue mountain territory must be
dipped before being shipped out of
the state is not as sweeping as at
tirst feared and a sufficient loop
hole has been left for sheepmen to
dispose of their mutton holdings
without experiencing additional
trouble and expense, says the
Pendleton Tribune. According to
the terms of the ruliug sheepmen
must submit their stock to inspect
ion and if the condition of the
beep is found satisfactory the
owners can make direct shipments
of mutton sheep to the Eastern
market. Sheep which may be
found diseased in any .way what
ever must of course, be submitted
to the dipping process. This privi-
lege applies only to the shipment
of mutton sheep. Feeders cannot
he sent out of the state under any
circumstances unless they have
been dipped or the purchasers
agree to dip them upon receiving
them at the feeding yards in the
East. The order also directs the
railroads receiving the shipments
to thoroughly disinfect the cars
both before and after being used
for the transportation of the sheep.
In speaking of the cause of the
ruling Mr. (iwinn secretary of the
Wool Grower's Association, yester
day said: "It was the pernicious
practice of one or two sheepmen
last year, especially that has caus
ed all this trouble and has accord
ingly placed all the sheepmen in
Eastern Oregon in a very unwhole
some light, at least as far as Mr.
Hickok is concerned. This sheep
man in question, who is said to
live in Baker county, is guilty of
the crime of 'legging' and hi work
ed it very successful! v last vear on
By a provision in the direct
primary law enacted last June at
the polls, registration of voters
will be resumed this Autumn for
the November elections. Hereto
fore the registration law has been
deficient in that respect, for it has
required electors to register prior
to May 15 in order to vote in
November for President, or else
Uo vote on the aflitlavit of six free
holders. County Clerks through
out the state are now required to
reopen the registration books
"between September 20, 1904", and
5 o'clock p.m., of October 20, 1(504,
and between the same dates in
each and every year thereafter in
which there shall lie an election of
Presidential electors."
In November the .first elections
for prohibition will be held under
the local option law, on the same
day as the election for President,
namely November 8.
CASCADE ROUTE
' LOSES SUPPORT
The project of building a wagon
road from Detroit, the terminus
of the Corvallis & Eastern Rail
road, across the Cascade Moun
tains by way of Minto Pass, which
the County Courts of Marion and
Linu Counties have been consider
ing for some time, has been finally
abandoned. The plan proposed
was to build the road along the
survey of the C. it E. railroad,
using the grade which it has con
structed for several miles, to the
summit of tlie mountains; then to
tun: southward for a distance of
about eight miles, and strike the
Willamette Valley & Cascade
Mountain wagon road at Big Lake,
or the Matoles River.
County Judges Scott, of Marion,
and Stewart, of I. inn, after levi ral
consultations and considerable in
vestigation, Jiave found the plan
not good for several reasons. In
the first place the exiiense of con
strui'tinf the road would be too
great for the actual benefit to lie
derived from it. It was thought
when the plan was first proised
that the road could be built, since
the, C. & K: had kindly offered the
use of its grade, lur alsiut $1500,
but Judge Stewart says investiga
tion disclosed that amount would
not build half of the bridg'-s required.
