Department of Agriculture. Pullman, Washington, April 15, 1007. ELK TOOTH KING HERE E. R. Pels, Man Who Has $125,000 Collection of Elk Teeth Tli e President has appointed Charles W. Moore of Grass Valley to bo Register of the land office at The Dalles, to sue seed M. T. Nolan, removed, and Louis II. Arneson of Hood River to be Re ceiver, to succeed Mies Anne M. Lang, whose four years term expired last month. Tiie new officers will take charge of the land office as Boormu their bonds are approved, and the regular transaction of business will be resumed at the land office. Since tho removal of Register Nolan the land office has only been open for the receipt of papers and lor the information of the public. The appointment of Mr. Moore and 5Ir. Arnopon to be Register and Re ceiver respectively at The Dalles land ofhceis regarded m political circles as a victory for Hon, Malcolm A. Moody in the distribution of federal patronaire Mr. Arneson wan doubtless selected by Mr. Bonnie as he la a brother of Miss Ida M. Arneson, bis private secretary, but the appointment of Mr. Moore, who has always been identified with the Moody faction in this district, is re warded as a distinct recognition of the Moody influence with tbo Administra tion, which is understood to bo quite potent. The Dalles land office has been the sceno of a heated controversy since M T.Nolan, the Register, tendered bis resignation and coupled with it charges which reflected upon his associate. The resignation was not accepted, and the charges acted as a boomerang upon .Nolan, who was removed from office af ter an investigation bad been made. binco then the land office has been closed to the transaction of regular business, which has been accumulating pending the appointment of new officers This condition will now be relieved, as thooffico will bo oponetl at once.

He is Mayor of Grass Val ley, and president of tho Citizens' Bank of that place. Mr. Arneson, tho new Receiver, is a school teacher who has been teachine at Jordan Valley, Oregon. Ilia home is at llood Kivcr, and it is said that ho has not been in any manner identified with politics in this district. Oreconian: Aftor estimate of the colonist business coming West, A. D. Charlton, assisian general passenger agent for the Northern Pacific,' who has fust returned from tYiTTnaf estimates that between 5000 and 'tOOfJ nomescekers are leaving Eastern gate ways daily and that this tremendous movement will continue during thq season. Mr. Charlton paid particular attcn-- Hon to the colonist movement while away. He personally visited the depots where crowds of Westbound Iiome seckersare flocking to the trains and crowding the coaches. Many, not finding seats, are even willing to stand. 4 he says, bo eager are they to cet to tho new promised land. The Northern Pacific, according to .nr. Uharlton, is haulms between 250ft and 3000, colonists out of St. Paul.-Minne- apolis and Duluth every day. The itreat .Northern and "Soo" lines, of- course, take a great many more. Tak: ing the southern gateways into consid eration, Mr. Charlton believes that ' tliQ total number leaving fur the West with the avowed intention of making their- homes here will run close to 7000 evcrv day of the 60-day season. 'The Westbound business baa novec at any time been so heavy as at present ' saiu Atr. Uharlton yesterday. "We are. moving out oi 6.1. ram and Minneapolis five trains a day, which are in addition .i i - .. . . iu mo regular iraine. Tins shows what, - i volume the movement has attained. These trains are loaded down with coin. nists and tbo travel is, of course, due Uy the special colonist rates. 'The depotg are crowded with noonlo. and they are actual eetterjj.
