Residents of "Umatilla Metropolis Said to Have Started Agitation for County Division. WALLA WALLA, Wash., April 29. (Special.) A movement to divide Uma tilla County, said to have started in Pendleton because the vote in and around Milton was Instrumental in put ting Pendleton dry, culminated In a mass meeting held here by 450 voters this evening, when the subject of creat ing a new county was thoroughly gone over. To a man almost those present approved of the division, as it was argued Milton would be the county seat of the proposed county. It was decided to start petitions im mediately, so that the issue may be put to a vote at the November elec tion. In order to do this it will be nec essary to have 9000 names attached to the petitions before July 2. D. C. Sanderson was chairman of the meeting held this evening, while J. J. Neil, a prominent attorney of Milton, gave some interesting figures which go to prove the advantages of separation. There are 309S square miles in Umatilla County, or 1,130,010 acres. Of this 466,348 is tillable. It Is the intention to include the. northern 700 square miles in the new county, a name for which has" not as yet been selected. Mr. Nell pointed to Hood River and Wallowa Counties as ex amples of the cutting up of the larger counties. He said Wallowa County, sin'ce seceding from Union County, had not only met its portion of the indebt edness, which was $73,000, but had contributed county buildings and made many other improvements. Attorney E. D. Peterson has Just re turned from Salem, where he talked the matter over with Justice Aiken, the Attorney-General, and Secretary of State. Each of these Individuals prom ised the move his hearty support. When Pendleton, the county seat of Umatilla County, went dry, it was not by the. city vote, but by the county. Had. the vote not been on the county unit Pendleton would still be wet. Those living In and around Milton and Freewater voted against license almost In, a body, while, in fact, almost the entire northern portion of the county Is wet. Pendleton people believe if they are able to get free from the northern section of the county they will again go wet and for this reason they first talked of the proposed separa tion.

Relative to Register Church's connection with the McBrlde project. Attorney David stated that he had talked of It and had stated to Church and also to Shaw, that Church'B con nection with the matter was not one of criminal liability, but involved moral turpitude. David declared In the course of his testimony before the board that it was commonly stated the members of that body were open to improper propositions. While some of the evi dence was given to the press for pub lication, it was necessary for the papers to have it transcribed by the stenographer of the Federal Court em ployed by the board, but before re leased and afterward transcribed, the testimony had to have the official stamp of approval- of that body. During the session. Register Church admitted holding a desert entry In the vicinity of Gooding, he taking the same after having made an Inspection, in company with Governor Gooding. Church also stated that there has been some suggestion of employment as attorney by Mason In the event that the Dubois project should be put through by the latter, the salary to be $5000 per annum. There was no def inite agreement reached relative to this matter, according to the testimony of Church, the agreement to be taken up only-In event of his resignation as Register of the Land Board. Church also testified that David had advised destruction of the Shaw-Church con tract. F. A. Shaw, the second witness ex amined, reiterated statements made from time to time on the street, deny ing that there was any opposition to payment of a commission to Church for his part in the McBrlde project, but adding that the only difficulty was over the amount that was to be paid. It was announced tonight that all the evidence the board cares to hear is in, and it will make its find ings tomorrow morning. Church still declares the plot Is a political one, and he has Intimated that it was formed by state officials who are his bitter opponents, and who wanted to "get" him.
