SHIPPERS COMPLAIN AT
EXPENSE OF NEW LAW.

Said.

completion of the system adds great
value to the city. Contractor Miller,
who constructed the system, has re
turned to his home at Colfax, and the
plant has been turned over to the city
authorities.
PROFITS IN AUTOMOBILES.
Cattle shippers are kicking about
the law passed at the last session of
the legislature, requiring them to pay
$3 for an inspection of brands before
a shipment can be made. ,
Several small shipments of cattle
are now about ready to leave here,
cars having been ordered for them,
but owing to the Inspection charges,
they are being delayed in hopes that
some arrangement can be made
whereby the shipper will not be com
pelled to pay the charges.
The law was passed with a view to
checking cattle stealing and while
the Intention of the law Is good,
shippers say its enforcement u ft
farce" !n a great rnany Instances, as It
Is Impossible for an Inspector to se
cure all the brands on cattle In the
way in which cattle are Inspected.
They say If cattle were run through
a chute, or Inspected separately that
there would be some possibility of
securing an accurate Inspection, but
where an Inspector walks through a
corral and takes down the brands In
night. In a moving herd of cattle, that
ft becomes an expensive and valueless
farce
It is said by many of the promi
nent shippers that so far there has
not been a thorough Inspection In the
state since the law was passed and
that until arrangements are made tit
stock yards for the careful and sys
tematic Inspection of every animal
shipped there is little use to Impose
the charges upon them.
None of them complain at the ob
ject of the law, as it Is conceded that
every means possible must be em
ployed to check and prevent stealing.
but the place to secure the brands Is
at the ranches and ranges, where the
cattle are delivered to the shippers,
they claim.

NOW HAS THE FLOOR,
The Status Tomorrow Will Be Exact
ly What It Was Two Weeks Ago,
With the Statutes and District At
torney's . Instructions InlKrposIng
Between the Extremes of Wide
Open and Closed Entirely Exact
Situation Stated by Deputy McCourU
From Indications at present, busi
ness will be conducted as usual on
Sundays In Pendleton tomorrow, ex
cepting that the saloons will remain
closed. With the repeal of the city
ordinance which caused the town to
be closed last Sunday, there Is noth
ing now but the state law In force.
Under this law the saloons were last
week ordered by District Attorney
Phelps through Sheriff Taylor, to re
main closed. This order Is still In
force. As to what will be done re
garding the stores, cigar stands and
other business houses, there seems to
be some uncertainty. However, up to
this time no complaint has been made
against them, and it Is hardly thought
such will be -done. It Is evident that
the better class of the saloonmen and
those who are their advisors would
like to see peuce, and it is said
they are advising all the liquor
dealers to this end. It Is
said that they dislike to have any fur
ther agitation because of the prohibi
tion votes that are created thereby,
and so are advising that no rash action
be taken by saloon men who do not
like the idea of being closed.
Nothing has yet been brought be
fore John McCourt, acting district at
torney, regarding the enforcement of
the state law. except against saloons,
and the only statement made by that
official today Is the following:
"The repeal of the city ordinance
relating to the Sunday closing in no
way affects the state law touching
that matter. Complaints for violation
of the state statute will be followed by
prosecution as announced by the dis
trlct attorney prior to the passage of
the city ordinance."

PREFERS UMATILLA COUNTY.
M. L. Fix Finds Land Higher in Other
Portions or the State Than In Tills
Section.
"I have Idle land In Alkali canyon,
this county, valued at but $15 per
acre that I would much prefer to the
oak grub land In western Oregon for
which I was asked $100 per acre,"
wild M. L. Fix, the well known pio
neer who has Just returned to Pen
dleton from an extended visit to cen
tral and western Oregon.
Mr. Fix has been traveling for the
past year for the benefit of the
health of his wife and has visited
nearly every part of the state, and
finds that land prices on all kinds of
lnnd are higher elsewhere than In
Umatilla county.
Since visiting the hop yards of Wil
lamette and other places he Is confi
dent that the Idle land on his farm
near Alkali canyon. 20 miles from
Pendleton, will grow excellent hops.
and as the weather Is much more fa
vorable here for the maturity and
drying of the hops, It will be found
to be a first-class hop district he
thinks. Ha will give the Industry a
trial next year, however, by planting
a small field.
CLAIMED
MAJOR MOORHOUSE GIVES
THEM TO THE CLAIMANT.
Tlie Latter, Whose Nanus Is Huston,
Says tlie Checks Were Held by His
Wife as Collateral for a Debt
Checks Are, However, Made Paya
ble to James D. Fulton Huston
Identified tlie Property to Major
Moorhouse's Satisfaction.
The man who lost the two checks
for $750 each which were found
Thursday afternoon by Major Lee
Moorhouse. has been found. He Is
F. D. Huston, who came here recent
ly from San Francisco, and who main
tains that he dropped the envelope
containing the checks on the evening
of his arrival here. Not until yestcr
day afternoon did Mr. Huston mis
his property, according to his story
and when he did so he went to the
Western Union office for the purpose
of wiring to the San Francisco banks
to stop payment upon the same.
However, Manager Gillette hnd al
ready been notified by Major Moor
house of the find, and he told the
man the fact. Thereupon he sought
out the major and during the evening
received his money from the latter.
The checks are both made payable
to James D. Fulton, one being made
in hearer and the other to order.
Neither had been Indorsed. Accord
Ing to Mr. Huston's story he and the
payee, Fulton, had been In partner
shin in a business In San Francisco,
and selling out the checks had been
triven hv Fulton to Mrs. Huston as
collateral security for a debt. The
manner in which the checks and the
envelope containing them were ldentl
fled by Mr. Huston left no doubt in
Major Moorhouse's mind that he was
the rightful owner, so the checks
were given him. .
Just what value the check In favor
of Fulton can be to Huston and why
checks should be given as collateral,
is not known, for should the payee
order payment stopped the "collater
al" would be worth little. Mr. Hus.
ton was made known to Major Moor
house by Bill Baker, of Baker & Gar
rison's saloon.

A ruse of the gamblers now In thu
city Is to stand around on the street
all afternoon In n pair of overalls
and shirt sleeves In order to make
strangers believe they are working
men and In hopes of enticing some
one into the games that are con
stantly running. Within the paBt
month gamblers who have not been
known to ever do a day's Work, have
been seen almost every afternoon In
a pair of overalls mingling with the
farm hands on the streets. It Is not
a new ruse In other places, but has
not been practiced here before.

That manual labor is attractive to
the Indian as well as to the ambi

that a large number of the Umatilla

country awaiting the beginning of hop
picking season, others are in the
mountains adjacent to urana itonae
awaiting the beet pulling season, and
still others are now picking apples
and plums in the Cove orchards.
A prominent farmer said touay,
that If the Indians were lined up on
the sidewalk with the alleged work-
nimen now In the city, more Indians
would take a hard Job and stay with
it than white men who say they are
looking for work.
While few of the Umatlllas una
work in Umatilla county, y?t ruuy
400 of them work steadily every fall
In either hop-plcklng or heet-pulllng.
For the oast seven or eight years a
large number have made regular trips

an equally large number has been
regularly employed In the beet fields.
