ASSESSORS TO MEET IN BAKER.
Asessors Brown, of Union, Buzan, of
Umatilla, and Jett, of Baker, to
Confer.
County Assessor George J. Jett, of
Baker county, says tho Democrat, has
arranged with the assessors of Union
and Umatilla counties to meet with
him in Balcer City, Thursday of this
week for the purpose of discussing
matters dealing with the assessment
of property In those counties.
Assessor Brown, of Union, and Bu
zan, of Umatilla, have been heard
from and will be hero the day ap
pointed. For some time past a move
ment has been talked of to interest
the assessors over the state to meet
In convention and discuss such ques
tions as might be of benefit to them.
Thus far the proposition has met with
no response, and tho representatives
of Baker, Union and Umatilla decid
ed to come together for mutual ben
efit. When seen Monday Mr. Jett stated
the object of this meeting was mainly
for the purpose of endeavoring to ar
range a more equitable taxation in
the three counties. This would not
mean the same on all property, but
on things In common.
The year's work of 1902 will begin
the first of the coming month, and
it is desired htat the conference be
held before that time.
Believes they are Favoring White
Men at the Expense of Indians.
Tho news comes from Washington
tht the demand for a sweeping inves
tigation of Indian agency matters is
even stronger now than a week ago.
when Senator Turner offered his re
solution for this purpose, and if the
senate committee declines to act the
house is almost sure to .
Senator Clark, of Montana, who is
on the Indian affairs committee, and
who is thoroughly familiar with the
conditions in the west, Is convinced
that there is a great deal of room for
improvement in the matter of making
leases on Indian lands for grazing or
mining purposes. He also expresses
himself in favor of the thorough in
vestigation of each reservation and
the character of the leases now ex
isting. Indian agents often sacrifice the in
terests of the Indians to their desire
to secure valuable leasing privileges
fnr white stock owners who have the
inside track in the matter of Inmn
grazing lands. Outsideers' cat"(0 are
allowed to mingle with the teiong.

many Indian cattlo are uranHeu -with
the leases and are thus a complete
loss to tho t.vjoe -which has leased the
lancfs.
It Is also tho custom to make a
lease with a cattle or sheepman
which may give him, for instance,- the
right to put 5000 cattle at so much
per capita upon a piece of Indian
land, and then with the connivance
of the agent he grazes 10,000 or 15,
000 head unknown to the department
and paying nothing to the Indians for
the privilege.

Of course, if there is to be an inves
tigation of the agencies, the Umatil
la reservation will be included. Here
the government investigators will
find a very satisfactory condition of
affairs and one of the best, if not the
best, conducted Indian school in the
United States. The finger of suspi
cion does not point at the Umatilla
reservation.

Walla Walla, says the Union, to tap
the Eastern Oregon sections at A
point where competition Would be not
exactly entered into with the Tjuton
Pacific lines and would still afor(j nn
immense volume of busines- to tn0

way of the Looking G',flBS riVOr and
the grade there, it i ciinic,i, would
not be excessive, though the haul
would be long. i( is j.nowu that the

th

Thnt Wnlln. Walla business men
would assist in the proposed road
many believe from the fact that
Walla Walla would at once become
tho base of supplies for that whole
section, which at present does not
sendone cent this way. To Union
county. Oregon, such a road would be
worth thousands of dollars a year by
reason of its effect upon the wool
traffic alone, and all shipments would
be made through Walla Walla.
Whether anything will be dono is a
question which is up to the people
and to railroad promoters, but the
matter is being agitated in Oregon
and the claim Is made communication
will be entered into with, the Walla
Walla Commercial Club.

A Mining Engineer Recommends Vit
rified Brick.
H. B. Williams, one of the leading
mining engineers of Eastern Oregon,
who Is connected with tho Virtue
mine, iri an interview with the Baker
City Democrat man, stated that the
solution of the paving of Baker City
streets, rests in the hands of the peo
ple here, who have at their very door
the cheapest and most durable ma
terial. "I, know of streets paved in Eastern
cities with vitrified brick which have
been paved for 20 years and are still
in good condition. There are clays in
Baker county which will make a first
class vitrified brick. The city could
easily and cheaply make its own pav
ing blocks from this material and
could supply the same to Portland,
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane and
make money on the proposition, be
sides putting its own streets in first
class condition. The right kind of
material to begin with makes a vit
rified brick that is as durable as gran
ite blocks, and forms a better surface
and a surer footing for horses than
any other known pavement."
! iinitsi
The same advvice is good for Pen
dleton, there being material at hand
for the manufacture of vitrified brick
with which the two main streets of
Pendleton should be paved.
