It la thought enough more money can be aecured to accomplish the work. Since In Mra. Thompson's will the 13000 waa left to Kunile lodge A. F. A A. M., some have been In doubt aa to whether thla money would be turned over to Pendleton lodge, with which Kunzle lodge became amalga mated. However, C. H.

C Taylor, R. Alexander, eQo. A. Hartman, H. Foster and T. J. Tweedy. Several of these have ex pressed themselvea in favor of at once earning out tho purposes of the will, and definite action will doubt less be taken soon. The Odd Fellows, who own nearly one-third of the cemetery, alao appear to be deslroua of Improving the ceme tery. The Odd Fellow cemetery dl rectora are J. W. Maloney, J. P. Med- ernach and Dan Kemler. This morn Ing Mr. Maloney declared - himself strongly In favor of having the cem etery Improved, and said he believed the Odd Fellows would assist In the work.

There are two ways In which water may be secured for Olney cemetery by piping It from Tutuilla, and by an extension of the city water system. Though the question has often been under discussion before, the exact cost of securing water from either source has not been determined. Now that there Is a prospect of actual work, both of these plana will be In vestigated. BUILD ACROSS OREGON. Oregon Grand Trunk Railway Line Is Capitalized. Salem, April 6.

Bo til Are Well Known Stockmen of the I'klah District, and Claim Tliat the Proceedings Are Result of Spite work; Also Tliat All the Offending Fences Were Removed by Them Last Fall and Tliat Tlicy Now Have No Land Enclosed.

In this city and gave bonds In the sum of $600 each to appear In the federal court In Portland In the near future, their eases not having been set yet. Both ara well known stockmen of the southern portion of the county and claim that their Indictment and arrest are spite work, as they re moved all their fence from govern ment land last fall, when notified by the government Inspectors and at the present time have no government fence Inclosed. It was the common custom In the southern part of the county to fence government land for pasture and they were but two of a large number of stockmen having land under fence, and when notified by the Inspectors In Nocember at once removed all their fence from the public domain. The Indictments came as a surprise to them as the matter had not been agitated. The- stockmen who had fenced government land had simply followed tho custom of the country, and none hesitated to remove their fences when ordered by the agents of the Interior department. Other Indictments are expected to follow In the future, as these are but two of 'a number of men who have committed the same "crime." CAPTAIN SWAIN IN THE CITY.

GANNON AS A Speaker of the House Opposes Tariff Revision in Any Guise or to Any Extent. . . , COULD ONLY BE DONE AS A COMPROMISE MEASURE.

Nothing can be done except u com plete revision, which would "bo s compromise acceptable to a ma.orltv of both houses. The enactment of such a revision and the time neces sary to adjust business to It would halt commerce for at least a year.

Found Vast Numbers of Home-Hun gry Easterners Willing to Be In structed and Become Interested In Umatilla County Fifteen Oklaho ma Families Headed for Umatilla County Mr. Willis Will Go on Second Trip Soon, H. C. Willis, travellnar asrent nf the umatuia County Development league, has just returned from a two weeks' trip over the lines of the. Union Paci fic and Oregon Short Line in the in terest of Umatilla county. Mr. Willis went aa far east as Chev- enne, the capital of the state of Wyo ming, and the chief gathering point for homeseekers bound for the west. Cheyenne is the- junction of the Ne braska and Colorado branches of the Union Pacific and homeseekers from all the central states meet In that city and take the main line of the Union Poclflc for the west from there. Mr. Willis found homeseekers woe fully Ignorant of Umatilla county. Few of them had ever heard of the county except through private letters from friends here and all of them became deeply Interested In the op portunities offered In the county when made known to them through the eexcellent pamphlets prepared by the county league for distribution on the trains. A number of families have been Induced to stop here and one point. Stillwater, Okla.. promises to send 15 families direct to Pendleton In the near future to look over the field here. Mr. Willis feels that the work of the development league will result In great good to the ceunty. It has al rendy Introduced the various towns to the homeseekers and many men having small means will come Into the county ns a result of the work of the league. People are disgusted and discourag ed vlth the dry, farming regions In Wyoming and Nebraska, and are hun gering tor a new home, a place where they may become self-supporting and contented on a small tract of pro ductive land. To this class of people the west particularly appeals and from this class of thrifty, energetic farmers the west will build up Its permanent set tlements In the future. Mr. Willis will remain in the city for a few days before leaving on his second tout of the railroads In the Interest of the county.

R. 4- N. train this morning will not arrive un til late this afternoon,' Northern Pacific train No. 3. dally, westbound. Is leaving St. Paul in two and three sections. A wire from headauarter there to the office of Assistant Gen eral Passenger Agent Charlton says the train leaving St. Paul Tuesday evening went In three sections, car rying about 600 passengers bound to the Pacific northwest. "I take no stock in stories of the boom order, told to advertise any par ticular immigration When it comes to the actual ramvino of a given number of passengers in regular trains over a railroad during a certain period it is easy to figure whether or not an estimate is reason able. The bringing of 10.000 iron's persons Into a state by the railroads in one year, to locate Dermanentlv anil enter upon development work and wealth producing labor. Is a wonder ful thing."
