By the provisions of the city charter
the legislature has excepted Dalles City
from the road districts of the county.
However, the voting precincts of East

as tho county court appointed the super
visors thiB point did not come up at
elections. Now, however, it will be
neceeeary for tho judges and clerks of
election to restrict the right to vote for
supervisor to those electors residing
outside of the city limits. This gives to
the parties interested the right to choose
their own supervisors and leaves to tlic
residents of Dalles City tho right and

The baseball game between Dalles and
Hood River yesterday afternoon resulted
in a crushing defeat of the hitherto un
beaten Hood River team. Our boys
played fast and hard ball from tho start
and kept tho visitors gueseing through
out the game. The Dalles has a strong
team this season, and with the co-operation
and support of the Dalles people,
could give the public some, tine exhibi
tions. Tho boys need practice, and if
the people will only support a team, tho
combination here would make a cham
pion team.
Hood River has a good team uud
would propably keep any other team
(except the Dalles) guessing whether
they were in tho game or not. Thoy
have some fine Individual playors, and
with a little more team work would be
all all right.
The total scores yesterday were as
follows :

DALLES MILITARY ROAD MATTER
What Congressman Moody 18 Doing for
the Keller or Settlers Who Lost
Title to Their Dome.
Ever since The Chronicle learned
of the large number of Sherman county
farmers whose title to the homes some
of them had occupied for many years
had been revoked by the government on
the ground of a prior right by the East
ern Oregon Land Company, we have
taken a deep personal interest in trying
to find out if it were possible that some
thing might be done for their relief. In
response to a communication of this
natuie sent to Congressman Moody, we
have received the following reply :
Washington, D. C, May 25, 1900.
Hugh Goujilay, Emron Ciikoniclk:
Djsau Silt : Briefly the status of The
Dalles military road matter iB this:
The bill the settlers prepared and sent
me provides for the government reim
bursing the settlers for their improve
ments. Thoy base their claim on the
ground that the land department erred
in permitting them to file on landB
which ultimately were shown not to be
applicable to homestead or preemption
tilings. This question has been up be
fore congress I find a great many times,
and in many cases with even more
merit than The Dalles military road
claimants bavo, because they, as a mat
ter of fact, had notice that there were
adverse claims. In all such cases, no
matter how meritorious, the govern
ment refuses to assume any liability for
errors of their officere or agents. Thoy
have, in one or two instances, permitted
the land grant people to Eelect lieu
lauds in place of those in controversy,
and allowed the settlers to go on and
complete their titles. Such legislation
as that could no doubt be, secured, hut
the road ompany would probably not
bo willing to accept other lands in lieu
of those in Sherman county, because,
since they have been at great expense to
litigate the mutter, they would doubt
less claim they were entitled to tho im
proved cultivation, at least to cover the
expense of their litigation. Tho rancher
would also not be satisfied with the
privilege of selecting laud elsewhere,
since that would be small compensation
for his improvements. Consequent
these two systems, which woulc bo pos
sible to secure, would not answer.
1 fonntlf after much research and
counsel with laud lawyers, an Iowa case

ment finally, after much agitation in
congress, uppiopriated money to buy tho
lands from the laud grant companies
and give it to tho settlor. That is the
plan we now propose. A bill was not
introduced for tho reason that we
thought it might bo possible to secura
on the sundry civil bill a small appro
priation niHhiiri.ing u commission to
investigate uud report on the fuels, and
then secure the passuge of a bill (or tho
settlers' relief. The bill was not intro
duced in advance because its parage
could not be secured at this session,
and if wo hud introduced it, wo would
probably bit met by the appioprinllons
committee when we asked for an appro
priation with the fact that our hills had
not passed, and requested to wait until
they did pass before an appropriation
should be made, Our purpose is to in
sist upon the appropriation first, and if
we get it, that in a measure binds the
government to go on with the balance.
Should we fall in holding the appropria
tion in on the bill before the conference
committee, we will then introduce the
bill, and be just us far along for action
at next session as we would had the
bill been introduced on the outset.
You may rest assured, Mr. Gourlay,
that I will do everything iu my power
