Saya the Walla Walla Union: At
141 o'clock on Wednesday night in the
railroad yardB at Wallulu, a series of
deafening screams emanating from
beneath a freight ear, brought a

unconsciousness, when he was pick
ed up by Charles DunUp, a W. & C.

possible Into the O. R. & N. baggage
room.
Subsequently It was found that his
name waa Joseph Delaney and that
he had been working for a Mr. Stan
ley, a ditch contractor In that local
ity. Apparently the victim of the cas
ualty had started for the O. R. & N.
depot, and to curtail Journey, had
heedlessly crawled under aome freight
cars that were standing on the main
track. The accident was caused by
the Hunt train arriving from Pendle

track as Is Its custom to discharge
passengera. It collided with the
freight cars catching the man Dela
ney unawara.
In charge of Dr. Shaw, Deputy

AN OUTLINE OF PEACE TERMS.
Japan Will In-lst on Rooting Russia
Oat of Fur East.
London, April 28. It is learned
from an authoritative source that
Japan has definitely decided on an
outline of the terms upon which it
will withdraw Its armies from Man
churia when advances to this end
shall have been made by Russia.
The terms of peace as decided upon
by the mikado and his advlserB stip
ulate that Korea is to remain under
Japanese protection, and that Russia
is to make no attempt In any way to
interfere in the administration of
that country.
Manchuria Is to be returned to the
Chinese empire.
Vladivostok Is to be dismantled
and to become a free port
For a limited number of years, sub
sequently to be agreed upon, Japan
Is to maintain a garrison at Port Ar
thur, and at the end of the agreed
period the future of the port Is to be
decided upon by a conference between
representatives of the two powers,
presided over by a representative se
lected by either England or France.
Russia is not to seek to acquire a
naval base in Far Eastern waters,
and the strength of her fleet In those
waters Is to be kept within well de
fined limits. The railways of Man
churia are to be bought at a price
arrived at by mutual settlement, from
Russia by Japan, and transferred to
Chinn.
A large money Indemnity has been
considered by Japan, but this, It Is
learned, might be modified, or even
altogether withdrawn, while the re
tention of a Japanese' garrison at
Port Arthur might also be waived, on
Russia accepting the other terms.
L ENCOURAGE
CATTLE RAISING
INDIANS PARTIAL TO
WORTHLESS CAYUSES.
Policy of the Department Will Be to
Divert the Umatilla' Attention to
More Profitable Use of tlie Reser
vation Ranges Than Now Prevails
Remit of Conference Between
.Major McKoin and Dr. Ulckok, of
Bureau of Animal Industry.
Instead of their bands of worthless,
mangy horses, the Indians of the
Umatilla reservation are to be en
couraged to run cattle on their graz
ing land, thus doing away with the
source of mange that has been - so
troublesome for many years in this
section.
At the conference yesterday be
tween Dr. G. S. Hickok, of the bu
reau of animal Industry, and Major
McKoin, the above action was decided
upon. Under the plan. of action the
horses will be purchased of the In
dians by the bureau of animal indus
try at a fair remuneration, and the
Indians will then be induced by the
department of Indian affairs to put
the money so received into cattle.
Apparently such action cannot be
done without the consent of the In
dians, and Major McKoin informed
the East Oregonian thla morning
that he will lay the matter before
them at the earliest opportunity. In
view of the fact that the Indians are
to be paid for their cayuses, it is pre
sumed that they will be agreeable to
the proposition. Should they be found
that way, the matter will be taken
up by the department and the plan
carried out.

STATE MEET WILL
BE IN PENDLETON
Development League at Port
land Has Called the Event
for May 15 and 16.
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
A VALUABLE CONVENTION,
Judge Bean Is Enthusiastic, Declaring
' It Has a National Significance, on
Account of Its Character and the
Reputation of the Experts Who
Will Attend State Development
League Slay Be Held in Pendleton
at) the Same Time Representative '
Men From tlie Valley Expected to
Be Present
A convention of the Oregon Good
Roads Association will be held here
on May 15 and It. Such was decid
ed at the meeting of the Develop
ment League yesterday, and was an
nounced by County Judge H. J. Bean. ,
who returned from Portland thla
morning.
"It will be a state convention, but
will be one of national significance
on account of the fact that Col. R. W.
Richardson, secretary of the national
association, will be present and will
assist in the session," said Judge
Bean this morning. 1
It la also possible that a session of
the State Development League will be
held in Pendleton at the same time
with the roads convention. Such waa
suggested at the recent meeting tn
Portland, but no definite action waa
taken on the matter, as it was not
known what rates could be secured
for the delegates from the railroad
company.
Every effort Is to be made by the
officers of the state association and'
the local county court to make the
coming good roads convention a suc
cess. This, It Is believed, can be
done, although there remain now but
two weeks in which to work the mat
ter up..
Under the rules of the state as
sociation the following are delegates
to the convention by virtue of the
positions; county Judges, commission
ers, surveyors, road superintendents
and road supervisors. Besides these,.
20 delegates at large are to be ap
pointed by the county Judge of each
county, and five delegates at large by
each commercial association, or board
of trade.
Owing to the distance it Is not ex
pected that many representatives will,
be present from the counties of west
ern Oregon, although Judge J. H.
Scott, of Marion county, president of
the association, and a number of
other prominent men, will be present
But it Is expected that from the
counties east of the mountains a large
attendance will be present
County Judge Bean states that all
of the supervisors of this county will
be requested by letter to be present,
and that a complete representation
from thla county la desired.
The two principal men at the con
vention will be Judge Scott presi
dent of the state association, and
Colonel Richardson, secretary of the
national organization. Judge Scott is
known as an expert on road making,
having had many yeara of experience
in Marion county. When the Pen
dleton council was discussing the
question of macadamizing, short time
ago, they talked of asking Judge
Scott to come here for the purpose
of advising them on the subject.
