COVER MANY FEATURES
PENDLETON. Or., April 11. (Spe
cial.) Major O. C. Edwards, superin
tendent of the Umatilla reservation,
has sent for a troop of cavalry from
Fort "Walla Walla. Trouble-on the Uma
tlila reservation has reached a crisis,
and preventative measures arc bcinff
taken.
Major Edwards says he has asked for
the cavalry to protect the Indians from
the invading1 stockmen, and also tho
stockmen from the Indians. Jt Is cur
rently believed, since the petition filed
by the Indians asking for the removal
of Major Edwards and practically
threatening that his death may follow
the failure to remove him. that the
call for troops has been made in order
to show the Indian that Edwards has
the Government behind him.
The stockmen are causing much
trouble by attempting to cross the res
ervation with their stock under cover
of darkness. This has been brought
about by the order from Washington,
since rescinded, permitting one stock
man, John Todd, to cross with 100 head
of cattle. Now all stockmen are at
tempting to cross.
The Indians resent this and to pre
vent a clnsh Major Edwards and his In
dian police are patrolling the reserva
tion night and day. Even the larger
students at the agency .scnool have
been pressed into service.
Being asked by the department if
he needed any assistance. Major Ed
wards asked for a troop of cavalry, to
nid in tho patrol and relieve Ms weary
men. Upon the arrival of the troops it
js sxpected that q:ict will again be
restored, and that the Indians who arc
opposed to Major Edwards will be good
as well.

DIRECT APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Fulton Asks RlRht of Way for Sheep
Through Umatilla Land.
OREQONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ncton. April 11. Senator Fulton today ap
pealed directly to the President In behalf,
of the stockmen of I matllla County, wno
arc forbidden to cross the umatjlyi.Indlan
reservation with their nocks,- pn tnoir way
to or from the Summer rante, -Secretary
Hitchcock ruled that his department will
do nothing to secure this right unless it
Is with the full voluntary consent of tho
Indians. Secretary Dan P. Smyse, of the
Umatilla Woolgrowcrs' Association, re
ports that there Is no hope of getting tho
Indians to agree upon any rcasonablo
terms.
In making the appeal. Mr. Fulton called
attention to a provision in the treaty ot
1833. when tho Umatilla reservation was
created, explicitly providing that the Pres
ident might intervene to establish a right
of way for a highway or railroad across
Indian land when the public interest re
quired. Mr. Fulton shows that the route
across Ls but 15 miles long, whereas a tour
-f SO miles is requisite to reach the Sum
mer range when avoiding the reservation.
Peculiar local conditions mako this de
tour almost Impracticable. If stockmen
try another alternative, shipment by rail
way is all that Is left them, and the price
s practically prohibitive. More than 100.
XK head of stock would naturally take the
route across the reservation, which the
Senator argues Is sufficiently a public in
terest for the President to exercise the
power preserved Tiy the treaty. Stockmen
agree to take Indian police with them
while on the reservation, paying the In
dians. Every assurance is given against
abuse of the privilege.
The Senator recalls the fact that abso
lute title to property with white people
does not confer the right to exclude public
travel, where -public interests require
right of way. and argues that Indians
should not be given the unqualified privi
lege of blocking public Intercourse along
reasonably necessary lines.
Umatilla stockmen received only about
half the range on the Wenaha reservation
they believed they were entitled to. and
are prevented from reaching It. save by
great effort, because of the Indian reser
vation.
Mr. Fulton has spent much time in the
past three months in an effort to get their
affairs In a more satisfactory conaition
