' All through the wool market a better
feeling Is displayed. The betterment
; In the rnarket Is not confined to the

eastern Oregon the activity Is more

According to the reports which come

the time that his partner was missing
and was taken to the police station and
booked as a drunk. Swanson, who Is
said to be a steady going, hard working
man, who gets drunk only occasionally,
has failed to put id an appearsnca arid
bis brother fears that he Jumped Into

WHITMAN WINS SECOND
GAME FROM OREGON U.
4 . 1 When the United States grant-
ed lands to Indians on tha Uma-,
tllla reservation, Charles Flush,:
4) a young brave, was absent from
home wooing an Indian maiden.
Part of. his plans ror the future
A included the building of a home
4 on tha 80 acres which the gov
4 ernment was to give. him. . His
disappointment, therefore, uppn
returning horns and finding he
4 had been left out of the alot
4 . tnent was great. The result of
4 . his dissatisfaction was a, suit
4 against the United States go v
4 ernment, first brought at Pcndla-
; tors and decided In his favor by
Judge Wolverton tnls morning,
4 after Attorney R. J. Slater had
4 made a statement In behalf of.
4) his client
4 , Flush can now proceed to
build hJs little home and send
for the Indian maid who prom-
4' Ised to be his bride as Soon ss
he became possessed of property
enough to support her on,
"It's a llo" was Ihe brief character
ization applied by United States Mar
tial Reed to a statement appearlns In a
local paper this morning to the effect
that the railroad officials had been
dodvlna- . stilinoeiiHS commanding thtilr
presence before Referee 8. G. Williams
on May 3, when the government con
tinues an effort to dlcwolve the Houth
ern Paclflo and Union Pacific merger.
"Every man except one wno win ne
wanted as a witness at the hearing on
May 1 has been sunpoenaed, onclarea
Marahal Heed. "Not one of them triad
to avoid tho summons snd the entire
service was made yesterday with the
exception of 'that on Kollock. who irt
but of town and who will be snrved as
soon aa he returns. No statement rel
ative to the witnesses subpoenaed, or
to any fact connected with tha mnt.ter
has been given out from this . office.
Statements published In the morning
paper were unauthorized and inaccu
rate." -
Government officers express them
selves ss highly satisfied with tho prog
ress being made in-preparation for the
suit to put an end to the Harriman mo
nopoly. It is now apparent that all wit
nesses for the government will be pres
ent . when the hearing la commenced.
The government's case is being; care
fully prepared. That the main object
of tha trial Is to compel Harriman in
terests to relinquish possession of lines
paralleling other of their lines ia freely
stated, but tbe steps which will be taken
to establish the case for tha govern
ment are being kept a secret
