The 15th was the date for placing on tho market the 90,000 acres of un allotted Umatilla Indian reservation lands which were placed on the mar ket under the Moody law. A great rush was expected for this land when the announcement was made of putting it on the market, but owing to the provisions of the law, which mado It possible for any man to "squat" on the land and hold it as a prior right, most of the fertile part of the land was taken before the date of the sale. While there is quite a little of this land still ready for set tlers, it is hardly worth the price asked for It. This will all bo taken for grazing lands.

THE PENDLETON SHOE COMPANY Phone Red t2 64 St. SLaiLUlSLJu) CHINESE REFORMER SAYS SOME GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS COUNTRY. He Has Great Hope for China Thinks That 8he Will One Day Spring Forward and Surprise the World. Choy Kan, the Chinese reformer, is ill town again, the guest of tho local Chinamen and is being entertained royally and bauquetted. Choy Kan is a logical speaker. Ho was here and gave two lectures tho first of the (week to his countrymen, in which he counseled them to join together and work for every move toward tho uplifting of their coun trymen. He speaks fair English and is wejl educated. To an East Oregoulan representative Choy gave the follow ing interview: Feel Good Towards Americans. "My people feel kind toward you Americans. Had it not been for American intervention China would now be entirely in the hands of for eigners. Yes, the American and Eng lishmen are friends of tho Chinamen. China at a Standstill. "The land of the dragon is now ruled entirely by the monarch. Tho American has progressed by his alert ness and education. The question arises, is he more alert and is he more capable of learning than his Chinese cousin? I do not think so. China has almost been at a stand still for the past 300 years. Look at Amorif.a! What makes the differ ence? The Chinaman has the natur al ability, just tho same as the Yan kee, and with the same chance would have advanced, and the nation would have been just as learned and as high in the estimation of the world as America. It is not our fault, but the fault of those wo have to bow to, and it is this idea that is getting a hold on my countrymen today and which will bring it to the front in the fu ture at an astonishing gait. Should Work for Each Other, "Look at the growth of the United State3 within the last century and then take a glance at the snail-like paco of the Chinese nation and tell mn tho cause. Free schools have had a great deal to do with this condition of affairs in America. A Droaa-minu ed government has done the rest The Amnrican tieonle have a right to ae msnd their richts and we have not. This is tho whole secret "Our land can be made tho same if we but have a chance and try What I am trying to get my coun trymen to see is the fact that we must, not work for ourselves alone but for each other, if we are ever to bo any better off than we are today. Cause of Stagnation. "For instance, in China, you and I each have a son. I am poor, you aro wealthy. Lack of riches makes it im possible for mo to give my boy an education. Your child has tho op portunlty to learn. Your child may be a sluggard, mine intellectual. This makes no difference. Because of my property my child cannot progress because I cannot afford to send him to school. Your son has all the chance in the world, but It does him no good. That is one of tho things that is keeping back our fatherland Tho man with the brains and intellect to learn does not have 'the chance nine times out of 10, while tho other one has but will not learn or ad vance. A Change Coming. "There is coming a vast change That day is not far distant. We will have a form of government fashioned after the American way. Then, and not until then, will sleeping China awaken from her long dream, and when this is done, it as a nation, will spring forward with an alert' ness that will surprise the world. They Are Deaf. "In plain everyday TJnglish, one who does not progress and tries to throw obstacles fn the way of tho man who would hut cannot is called a 'mosabaclc' In Chinese ho Is 'deaf and dumb.' A local Chinaman once said: " 'Wo havo jots of "deaf and dumb" men. They cannot understand, and furthermore thoy do not caro to. This is tho drawback. You tell them of recent Inventions, smokeless pow' dor, long-distance firearms, tolophono nnu telegraph, things they can see with their own eyes, and thoy will meet you with a blank stare of "I don't believe it."" What China Produces. "I recently had an argument with one of these fellows. I said: Do you know that tho clothes you wear wore mado in tho United States? What does China produce? Tea, rice and Bilk. That is all. Notice the sleeves on your jacket. Now tako a look at the sleeves of tho coat you wore from China. Tho sleoveB of tho one you aro wearing now are ono-half as small as thoso you wore over here, and tho ones worn on that great hunglesomo, long-tailed shirt you then had. Had you remained in China vou would havo boon content to havo lived on in your ignorance, wearing ho snme ill-shaned. ilLflttincr. trouh- lesomo clothing that your great, great srrandfathers wore. Tho braid in your nuouo Is of American manufacture. Of course, they learned how to make It from the Chinaman. With tho Americans nothing is impossible. Choy's Business. ifv linslness?

'GRANDE RONDE VALLEY. Some of Its Resources and a Bit of History. E. S. McComas, of Union county, in an interview with an Oregon 'Daily Journal correspondent, has the fol lowing to say about Grando Ronde valley and the early hiBtory ofAthat country: "I passed through Union in 18C2, and have been here or in the vicinity most of the time since," he said. "The town was started in that year 1SG2. Fred Nodine, Undo George Wright and M. S. Israel wore among tho ficst settlers. It was during the Civil War and It was that which gave tho town its name Union. Resources. "Yes, this is not only a beautiful vallov. but It is a vory rich little val ley," said Mr. McComas. "It Is about 2C miles long and 16 across in the central portion, narrowing toward each end. Wo raise wheat, oats, nar lnv. siicrar heets'. hay. fruit and live stock. Tho Grande Ronde Lumber Company have , a capacity of 100,000 feet daily. They saw yellow pine. Timber here is of cood nunlity. but tho Blue Mountain timber will not yield as much per section as the rnnat tlmbnr in Tillamook or Lincoln counties. It does not run in the Blue Mountains over a million and a quar ter to a million and a half feet to the quarter section. Wo have some cood mines not far from here. At North Powder they are arranging to put in a stamp mill. The ore ran? from ?1C to $20 to the ton in gold At Eagle Creek, In the Sanger dis trict, thoy have a 10-stamp mill. Old Times. "Well. Ben Brown, the assessor, is one of the old-tlmerB, and Connolly and Carroll, and Durham Wright and Jim Hutchison and H. J. Geer and many others living in tho valley. In 18G2 I hauled freight from Thp Dalles to Auburn, 12 miles above Baker City. Auburn vas tho first mining town in Eastern Oregon and had a population of about 5000 in 18G2. It Is a 'has been" now, only a fow old timers living there and some China men who are working tho tailings of the old placer mines. "In the early days tho sixties everything came in by bull team o pack trains. A good many of our well-to-do men got their start at huP whacking. A Profitable Business. "I was associated in business in early days with R. W. Dealc, who used to run a freight outfit in 1863 '64 and '65. I have seen him bring in ?40,000 in gold dust as payment for a single freight shipment. He charged from 8 to 10 cents per pound and ran 18 teams, consisting of 10 or 12 yoke of oxen to each outfit, a large wagon and trailer. The ship ment I Bpoke of was from Umatilla landing to Sliver City. Oeorge W Hunt, who afterwards built a railroad from Pendleton to Wallula Junction, was tho freighting king of those days, Ho ran moro outfltB from Umatilla landing to the upper country than any ono else in tho business. Steam bonts brought the freight from Port land to tho Cascades, then It went oyer tho portage road to Upper Cas cades, then It was again put on the steamboats to Umatilla landing, or if for Northern Idaho, by steamboat to LowiBton on Snako River. "Florence and tho Salmon River country ran pack trains from Lewis ton to the mines, as it was too rough for 'bullwhacking' outuis. jt'iacer vllle, Boise City, Bannock and Sllvor City were good camps in those early days. Through tho sixties, Eaton used to run a freight outfit Mining or freighting wore tho two principal industries then."
