The I'nlted Slate government Is
lultc likely to lake an active Interest
In the corning city election In Pendle
ton. A hoot 50 xaloon men, bartender
and gamblers who have homesteads,
and who registered In outside precinct
In the lint county election, have also
reentered In the city to vote at the
city dectlon thin year.
A special Inspector of the land of
fice will Investigate the matter. It Is
said, and It will be necessary for these
voters to decide where their rightful
home Is lacated.
Since the registration is complete, a
check of the registration hooks reveals
the fact that nearly every saloon man,
bartender and gambler of this city,
nho has filed on a homestead In the
county and who registered In outside
precincts at the last county election,
has registered to vote In Pendleton.
The matter has been placed before
lite liB Grande land office and an In
vestigation will be made. Klther these
homesteaders will not be allowed to
nte In the city or Ihey will be com
.pelled to relinquish their homesteads.
They cannot claim residence at tst
separate planes.
'A list of those who registered at
outside precincts In the last election,
and who have registered here for the
city election, has been made and will
be placed In possession of the land of
fice inspector.
The number of such voters wfTl
reach BO, and a rigid Investigation will
be made by the department. It Is
'thought that an Investigation of the
homesteads held by a large numher
of saloon men and bartenders of Pen
rileton will open up the land entry
question In this county on a large
scale and may perhaps be the cause of
a special investigation In all the east
ern Oregon counties, as the depart
ment Is only waiting until the big land
frauds trials can be completed before
making such nn Investigation.

'Over 4 MM) Establishment In tlie Suite
Valued at 113.000,000.
The Chamber of Commerce Bulletin
nf Portland, tn Us October number,
gives the following comprehensive, re
view of Oregon manufactures:
Oregon hns 4500 manufacturing es
tablishments, with an invested capltiJ
.nf 143,000,000 occupying lands and
buildings, the approximate value of
which Is 1 12.000, 000. The records of
the Manufacturers' Association of the
Northwest for 1903 show: Value nl
output. JN3.937.00O; salaries paid 31S00
officials nnd clerks. $1. 400.000; paid
8f,000 other employes. $13,000,900.
There Is room for many more.
In western Oregon the Willamette.
Muntlum, CmpqiiH, Rogue nnd Clnckn
rmis rivers nnd their tributaries afford
ample power for woolen,- pulp and
other plants. There are also cream
eries, chair factories, flax mills, soap
factories, excelsior plants, ax handle
and broom factories, tile nnd hrlck
war, tanneries, etc. ,
Facilities for raw material, fuel, la
bor and transportation are good and
low-priced. Ample material Is af
forded without a home market, owing
to lack nf manufactures. Crude ore
Is an example. Creamery output Is
annually Increasing. The flax Indus
try should be placed alongside the
woolen. The orient demands Oregon
canned goods, lumber, flour, fish,
fruit, etc. Opportunities for Invest
ment are unrivaled and sure to make
returns.

IJKTTER BREAD FOR THE ARM V.
Improved Methods In Its Making Arc
Introduced.
Washington, Oct. 7. The war de
partment hns reached an Important
decision which will, to some extent,
revolutionize the culinary department
of the service. It has been decided to
Introduce machinery for making bread
Instead of having the bread made by
the slow and unsatisfactory hand
method. The navy has found It ad
vantageous to have such a system, and
vessels are being equipped as rapidly
as possible with a type of bread knead
lug machine which Is said to answer
all demands upon It.
This conclusion tn favor of mechan
leal bread making has been reached
nfler a practical test of the methods
on board the United States ship Mis
souri for a period of six months. Army
officers have been making an Investi
gation of systems at Fort Riley, where
there are schools for cooks and bakers
and at West Point, where the facilities
exist for carrying on competitive tests
of the machinery. A certain type of
machine has been recommended by
commissary officers who have given
special attention to the subject, and It
Is believed that the adoption of this
machine throughout the army, togeth
er with the sending out of army
cooks and bakers, will have a favora
ble effect upon the enlisted men by
furnishing them with food properly
prepared. There have been many
complaints concerning the quality of
the bread and these have finally In
duced the war department t make a
change In the nostem.

County School Superintendent Frank
K. Welles tndny announced the annu
al apportionment of money from the
county school fund to the various dis
tricts. The total of the county ap
portionment la $9718.34, while that
from the state fund this year le $14),
SS6.40. The county apportionment
this year la rather small, and would
have been larger If the $11,000 which
was recently paid to the treastirer by
Sheriff Taylor and ex-Sheriff Blakley,
had been segregated Into the different
funds so that the school money would
be available. However, that money
has not yet been divided into the dif
ferent funds by the experts, und con
sequently Is not available.
The apportionment should have been
made last Monday, but Superintendent
Welles walled all week In hope of
the segregation being made, but fi
nally learned such would not be done
for some time yet, and so he decided
to mnko the apportionment without
it. .
Should the O. R. & N. compnny pay
Its back taxes, a large sum of money
will thereby become available for the

RIGHT OF WAY IS CLEAR.
Northern Pacific Turned a Smooth
Trick nn North Rank Route.
Walla Walla, Oct. 7. (Special.)
It has Just developed that the North
ern Pacific and Oreat Northern rail
roads, through their organ izzation
called the Portland ft Seattle Railway
company, recently secured every foot
of vacant land along the proposed
route down the north bank of the Co
lumbia river through scrip selections
filed In the Cnlted States land office
at Walla Walla and Vancouver, nnd II
is only as a matter of precaution that
the company was now or haa In the
past filed their plats of right of way
tn the local land offices.
When the script selections were
filed over a month ago, there was not
left a foot of vacant government land
along the north bank of the river and
It Is uselesa for the company or any
other to go ahead and file their plats
ns required over government land, be
cause there Is no government land left
for the proposed road to traverse.
It Is now all In tha hands of set
tlers or the Northern Pacific railroad,
for it is understood that it was North
ern Pacific scrip or lieu selections that
were used In getting control of the
land. ,

tlonment will be mado by .'he super
intendent. "No money ha been apportioned
for districts No. 90 and 107," said
Superintendent Welles, "because their
reports did not reach me in time, and
they thereby forfeited their right to
the money.
"Also, district No. 82 will receive no
money, although It Is entitled to
$69.20, because that district has been
charged with $118.13 which waa re
tained from last year's apportionment
over and above the $50 which districts
are allowed by law to keep out of
the common school fund.
"In the distribution of the county
funds $50 is given to each district,
and an additional $5 is given each
district that haa employed a teacher
who has attended nn Institute during
the year. The remainder of the coun
ty fund Is then apportioned among
the various districts per capita, the
same as la done with the state fund."
The amount of the county money
given to district 18. Pendleton, Is
$1430.24, while the amount from the
state apportionment waa $3036.20.

IDAHO ASSESSMENT IS
NOW BIT S 10,000,000.

People or Idaho Are as Yet Vnin
formrtf on the Subject McConneJ
Confers With Assessor Strain.
Idaho will be forced by public sssti
tlment to raise railroad assessment
from $10,000,000 to nt least $30,000,
000, if an agitation now being started
is carried before the state board of
equalization.
Ex-Governor W. J. McConnell of
Idaho, who stopped over last night tn
Pendleton on his way to the north
part of the state Is now preparing a
writ of review of the railroad assess
ment of the state of Idaho, to present
to the state board of equalization,
asking for a raise in the valuations of
railroad property in Idaho.
The movement is backed by strong
public sentment and will be carried to
the board of equalization with a com
plete writ of review of assessment
showing the excessively low values
placed upon all kinds of railroad
property, and asking that the value
be raised to be In proportion with
other classes of property.
It is estimated from statistics on file
with the Interstate commerce commis
sion that the railroads of Idaho are
worth $90,000,000. on a fair valuation.
The assessed value of all railroad
property In. Idaho is but $10,000,000.
j The object of the agitation ivllpbe
to raise the assessment to aooui t
000.000 or one-third of the cash value
of the property, thus adding $20,000,
000 tn the state's assessment.
Mr. McConnell met Assessor C. P.
Strain, of this county, this morning,
and secured data and Information con
cerning the assessment of railroad
property In this county, and manifest
ed great Interest In the efforts to raise
the values to something near nn equit
able basis.
The low valuation of railroads In
Idaho Is due to luck of Interest In the
subject by the people, and a failure
of assessors to study the subject. By
bringing statistics and government
records before the board of equaliza
tion, showing the actual values and
capitalization, earning capacity and
other undisputed facts, the people
hope to create an Interest in this sub
ject, and thus secure a reduction In
the tax levies by adding unassessed
j property to the lists,
