Walla Walla, Dec. 19. (Special.)
That the 1100 square miles contained
In the Wonaha forest reserve will be
entirely allotted to stockmen from
Oregon and Washington Is almost cer
tain from the number of applications
made for range within the reserve at
the meeting of stockmen In this city.
At the time of adjourning the ses
sion about 300 applications for range
allotments had been received and It la
estimated that ZOO more applications
will bo made before the meeting
olosea.
From present Indications It will re
quire tore or 'four days to complete
the work of apportioning the range.
The matter of dividing the range be
tween the cattle and sheepmen will
bo one of the biggest problems before
the meeting.
Heretofore about 200,000 head of
sheep and BO. 000 head of cattle have
been pastured In the territory em
braced in the reserve ami the Industry
represented In the stork pastured In
the reserve will reach Into millions of
dollars In value.
Throe Hundred In Attendance.
Trains arriving In Walla Walla
yesterday brought at least 300 stock
men from the counties of Union, Wal
lowa and Umatilla In Oregon, and also
from Columbia, Walla Walla, Asotin
and tlarfleld. In Washington, and
while practically nothing but prelimi
nary work whs done yesterdny, yet a
good start was mado In reaching the
actual work of apportioning the great
range territory Involved.
Committee Appointed.
Committees from the sheep and
cattle Interests were appointed for the
purpose of dividing the range Into
sheep and cattle districts, the com
mittees being as follows: Sheepmen
William Blusher, of Pendleton, rep
resenting the Umatilla county dis
trict; K. A. Jackson, of Dayton, rep
resenting the Tucanon district; B. D.

Committee for the cattlemen Bert
Butolf, of Dnyton, representing the
Touchet district; B. F. Flnthers, of
Prescott, J. A. Wooden, of Summer,
vllle, Union county, Mike Lynch,
Umatilla county. W. S. Ollphant, Gar

The stockmen were addressed by
Chlpf Hunger J. M. Schmlts, of Walla
Walla, who has Immediate charge of
the Wenaha reserve, and Forest Su
perintendent IJ. B. Sheller, of Taco
m, and all the maps, charts, blue
prints and descriptions of the reserve
In possession of the government, were
explained In detail to the stockmen.
The committees for the sheepmen
and cattlemen held sessions In the
afternoon and began their delicate and
tedious work of dividing the territory
Into districts for cattle and sheep. The
apportioning of various sections of
range and streams to the sheepmen
and cattlemen will be accompanied
with great difficulty since each Inter
est desires first choice, but It Is
thought an amicable and satisfactory
arrangement will be made.

K. Lewis was arrested here on
suspicion of being the murderer
of a young woman at Cripple

"Sponge Faced Kid," and the

has puzzled the Colorado auth-
orltlcs for two years,
seph Vey, the three Butter creek
sheepmen, returned last night from
Walla Walla after having attended
the forest reserve meeting yesterduy.
While they had no lands abutting the
rcservo they were Interested through
having range not far awny, and were
present ut the meeting to sec the
method followed In dividing up the
reserve. In the opinion of Mr. Cun
ha It may take several days or a week
to settle the matter, as there are many
conflicting claims to be adjusted.
Cost of I'nstimiKC Fixed. ,
Wulla Walla, Dec. 19. (Special.)
The closest secrecy prevails In the
transactions of the committees work
ing on the division of the range. The
two entire committees have been clos
eted all forenoon and at three o'clock
nothing has been given out concern
ing their discussions or the progress
they were making.
ThlH morning Chief Ranger J. M.
Schmitz announced that the charge
for paBturage In the Wenaha reserve
would be 25 cents per head for cat
tle and 5 cents per head for sheep by
the season. It Is thought that the
committees are having a warm time
fixing the limit to the number of cat
tle and sheep which one Individual
can secure pasturage for, although
nothing definite has been given out by
the committees.
Aside from waiting for tho commit
tee to report on the division of the
range nothing has been done today.
Many of the stockmen are preparing
to return home, Blnce they have placed
their applications on file and can do
nothing further here.

tion at prosecution. He said he could
not anticipate what the proper auth

not Instigate action until official no

half a block away and walked through
the crowd unrecognized. He refused
to answer quest Ions, hut appeared
calm and smiled with assurance when
