proximately 1100 square miles of ter
ritory, fully one-half of which is not
surveyed, and extends from Charley

eluding a strip of timber and range
land reaching over the range of the
Blue mountains on either side and
varying In width from 25 miles In the
heart of the Wenaha river mountains
to a width of but eight miles at the
southern end, near Perry.
Practically all the streams heading
In the Blue mountains In the conn

arlt'8 of the reserve, the streams hav-
lng sources and tributaries In this
reserve are ns follows:
All of the tributaries of the west
fork of the Tucannon. all the heads
of the Touchet and Its tributaries, all
of the Wenaha river and Its numer
ous, tributaries, this being the prin
cipal stream system In the reserve;
all the headwaters of Mill creek, the
two branches of the Walla Walla
river, the north and south forks of
the Umatilla river, Buck creek, Mea
cham creek, North Fork creek, the
wo branches of the Looking Glass
on the east side of the mountains,
Five Points creek, Elbow creek and
the minor streams heading on ML
Emily, west of La Grande.
The widest point In Umatilla coun
ty is 14 miles. In a direct line across
the Blue mountains at North Fork
creek. The reserve narrows as It
reaches southward and on the Blue
mountains near Meacham It Is but
about eight to 10 miles in width. On
the headwaters of the Umatilla river
are several unsurveyed townships, all
of which are within Umatilla county
and which contain excellent range
The most magnificent range and
timber district In the entire reserve
Is In the almost Inaccessible monn
tains at the headwaters of the Wena
ha river, for which the reserve Is
named. The district Is almost whol
ly unsurveyed and is a range of high
mountains well watered and isolated
from settlements and therefore ex
cellent range country.
The reserve is over one-third as
large as Umatilla county, which con
tains but 3000 snuare miles. It is
said to be most abundantly supplied
with water of any of the western re
serves and furnishes pasturage for
an enormous number of stock. In
cluding cattle, sheep and horses.
Charter for Electric Railroad.
The Boise Valley Construction com
pany, of Boise, filed its articles of in
corporation with the secretary of state
and county recorder today. It Is cap
italized at 1250.000. The special ob
ject of the company is to construct the
Boise valley electric line from Boise
to Caldwell. The board of directors
for the first year are: Robert Noble,

Now that Oregon has a federal
Judge, there will be an opportunity
for much Umatilla county business to
be disposed of, and the different at
torneys who have cases are preparing
them for hearing.
Attorney R. J. Slater Is now In Port
land, and he has written Judge S. A.
Lowell of the progress that he has
made.
In the case of Smith vs. Bonlfer,
Judge Wolverton has appointed J. S.
Ueckwlih us special master In chan
cery to take testimony. In the case
of ltosie Parr et (it, vs. John Damon,
a demurrer will De arguea on Satur
day, and in the case of Kalyton vs.
Kalyton, on appeal has been made
from the supreme court of Oregon to
the supreme court of the United
States in order to settle the question
of state Jurisdiction in reservation
cases.
There are two fundamental ques-
tlons Involved In the federal suits that
are now pending from this county:
the question of whether or not the
right of dower exists, and the question
of state court Jurisdiction.
In the former question the right of
an Indian woman to inneru mnus
from her husband Is Involved. In the
federal law upon the subject It is pro
vided that the property of a deceased
Indian shall descend to his heirs, con
seauentlv It would seem that the
widow of an Indian is entitled to
share of her husband's property. But
while on the bench the late Judge Bel
linger Intimated that the dower right
does not exist under the wording of
the federal law. Also, many attorneys
now take that same position. Conse
quently, the question Is at Issue and Is
the basis of several suits that are now
pending before the federal court. It
Is one of considerable local Import
ance, because until It Is decided
there is doubt concerning the title to
much lund on the reservation. Also,
the decision will vitally affect the
widows of the reservation, for should
It be held that the right of dowsr
does not exist, they will be virtually
left as paupers.
in the question of state Jurisdic
tion In reservation cases more Is In
volved than in the above point, and
a decision is awaited with great In
terest. In the past the Oregon su
preme court has been Inclined to take
Jurisdiction, while Judge Bellinger
was disposed to hold that the federal
court alone had authority, snouid
the supreme court take that view of
the question. It is held there should be
another federal district made for
eastern Oregon, owing to the Immense
amount of business from this part of
the state. But should It be held that
the state courts have concurrent Jur
isdiction, cases may then be brought
In either the state or federal courts.

R. M. Alcorn Returns Prom a Month's
Visit at Hanford In the Heart of
Uio Vineyard District.
R. M. Alcorn, the well known pio
neer of this city, returned last eve
ning from a month's visit with his
brother In Hanford, Cal., and Is de
lighted with his experiences.
He hod not seen his brother for 41
years and the reunion was a pleasant
one. While In Hanford Mr. Alcorn
visited the largest vineyard In tha
world, the Lucerne, consisting of 960
acres and equipped for handling the
grape from the time It is picked until
It Is sent to the wholesale houses In
the form of raisins.
Har.ford Is a city of but 4000 pen
pic but the streets are well paved ai'
It has a dignified and cleanly appear
ance. Aside from Deing supyormu uj
the raisin industry, it has a large a
fulfa and stock district trlbunr. Mr.
Alcorn prefers Umatilla county to
anv nortlon of California, which he
saw during his visit, however.
L. K. Kerbaugh, formerly of this
city and recently a resident of Port
land, may find himself in serious dif
ficulty through having Issued a num
ber of apparently worthless checks
while here a few days ago.
On last Tuesday morning Mr. Ker
baugh arrived here from Portland,
and after being here all day he left
at night for Denver. While here he
was slightly Intoxicated, and during
the day borrowed small sums of
money from different friends and also
isued four or more checks for small
amounts. One of these for S10, was
taken by Flsl.man & Peters of the
Pendleton Laundry; another for the
same amount was cashed by Lyman
Bros., the Court street produce deal
ers; a third was taken by B. C.
Smith, O. R. & N. agent. The fourth
check, which was for $25, was taken
by Lee Teutsch. All of the checks
were cashed by the different parties
as an accommodation for Kerbaugh,
who made many friends while here
nd In whom the utmost confidence
was reposed by those who took his
hecks.
However, this morning all four of
the checks came back from the Ore
ion Savings bank of Portland,
marked, "payment stopped."
When the above was learned, sev
eral of those who held checks laid
their cases before District Attorney
Phelps and that official has been In
vestlgating the affair. However, he
stated today that If Kerbaugh ha'd
funds In the bank at the time the
checks were drawn he cannot be
prosecuted for obtaining money un
dur falBC pretenses. Consequently,
unless the facts should be found dif
ferent, no action can be taken against
him here. However, it Is understood
that previous to his recent arrival
here he gave to Portland people sev
eral checks drawn upon the Commer
cial National bank of this city. In
which Institution he had no funds at
the time.
However, It Is generally believed
that the whole affair has been merely
a drunken escapade and that all of
the checks will be finally paid, as
Kerbauah is known to have some
property In Seattle. From here he
apparently left for Denver, as he
purchased a ticket for that place
and left on the train Tuesday nlgnt.
While In this city as business man
ager of the Morning Tribune Mr.
Kerbaugh was highly regarded and
made numerous friends who greatly
regret his performance. He was also
employed for a few days by the East
Oregonian and on leaving Pendleton
went to Portland.
You should not forget that each day of your life brings yon
yon nearer to the time when your capacity for earning decreases and
finally ceases. Wliat are you doing toward providing fund that will
become your mainstay and comfort, and prevent your becoming de
pendent upon reluctant relatives?
Prudent people forestall uch a possibility by creating a fund for
their declining years by depositing with Una bank regularly a portion
of their Income, which, aided by the compound Inters, we pay,
makus the accumulation of the fund certain.
