As an example of the honesty and sincerity with which the Tribune pub lishes the news, the following extracts from its reports of the recent reserva tion troubles are given. On Wednesday evening the Tribune city editor wired the following to the Spokesman-Review : "Major O. C. Edwards refuses to be scalped, and In order to make assur ances doubly sure, has sent for a troop of cavalry from Fort Walla Walla. Trouble on the reservation has reach ed a crisis and preventative measures are being taken. Major Edwards says he has asked for the cavalry to pro tect the Indians from the Invading stockmen and also the stockmen from the Indians." At the same time the following was wired to the Portlarid Oregonlan by the Tribune "managing editor." "Major O. C. Edwards, superinten dent of the Umatilla reservation, has sent for a troop of cavalry from Fort Walla Walla. Trouble on the reser vation has reached a crisis and pre ventative measures are being taken. Major Edwards says he has asked for the cavalry to protect the Indians from the Invading stockmen and the stockmen from the Indians." On the same evening they sent the above dispatches, the Tribune's nimble editors wrote the story which ap peared in their own paper the follow ing morning. It was exactly opposite in nature from what they wired out. In the Thlbune account thev Quoted Phone Black 313! Major Edwards as denying absolute- ly he had asked for soldiers, and branding the whole story os an at tempt at yellow Journalism on the part of this paper. Feeling chagrined at being "scooped" on the interesting story they denied It was true in their own paper, yet wired the real facts of the case to the outside papers. That the East Oregonlan's account of Major Edward's request for sol diers was true has been proven, and no further comment thereon Is neces sary. Also the particular "color" of the Tribune type of Journalism has been disclosed by the varied manner In which they handled the story. To a close observer prevailing color on the Tribune is neither white nor yel low, but striped. was taken In charge by the night of ficer and locked up. On investigation this morning It was found that Jenkins had left town, and fearing there was not sufficient evidence to warrant charging First brook with robbery, he was given the sentence for being drunk and disor derly. x After being sentenced some "back talk" was attempted by the prisoner, who claimed he was a blacksmith and on his way to La Grande to work. Al so, he said he hud been In a hospital since January. However, the plea had no effect upon J. T. Brown, acting police Judge, who replied: "If what they say of you Is true you are liable to go from the hospital to the penitentiary. Tou are remanded to the custody of the marshal." Flrstbrook is a big fellow, and the officers believe he is a hardened crook. If sufficient evidence can be secured against him he will be charged with attempted robbery. FORMER "WHEAT KING" HERE. James Elgin In Town From Franklin County Ranch. James Elgin, who formerly lived near here and left for Franklin coun ty. Wash., about five years ago, Is in town upon a few days' visit. Jim Elgin, as he Is known to old residents, was at one time known as the "wheat king" of Umatilla county. He had a splendid ranch near Fulton station and raised more wheat than anyone else In the county. He was one of the founders of the Farmers' Custom mill, which is now owned by Fred Walters. Like many other good citizens Mr. Elgin was "hard hit" during the hard times of '93 and '94 through having his name on too much paper. How ever, he has since retrieved his losses by his farming operations in Frank lin county. He now has a good ranch there and says that the outlook for the wheat crop this year Is exception ally good.

That the alkali spots In Umatilla county will be utilized and become sources of great profit Is now proba ble. A representative of an eastern soap manufacturing concern is in the county and if possible will purchase a number of small tracts of Intensely strong alkali land, for the purpose of extracting the alkaloids for use In manufacturing soaps. The representative desires the mat- ter kept as quiet as possible until he has secured an option on certain tracts of land which he Is now test ing, but It Is almost certain that he will purchase a large number of small tracts which carry heavy deposits of small. At present it is not known whether the alkaloids will be extracted from tne son and shipped east In liquid form, or whether the soil will be shipped east in sacks to be treated at the factory.

The Indians of the Umatilla reservation In Oregon demand a tax of tl per head for all sheep driven across the reservation. The stockmen are protesting to the president and Secretary Hitchcock. They say the short cut across the res ervation saves a drive of 100 miles. Senator Fulton talked with the presi dent this morning. The president hopes to adjust the matter. No Soldiers Yet. Another day has passed without any reply coming to Major Edwards' re quest that 50 soldiers be sent to as sist In patrollng the reservation. This afternoon the agency offloe was com municated with by 'phone and the above was learned. Major Edwards was absent at the time, bu Miss Ed wards, his sister and secretary, stated nothing whatever had occurred since yesterday. She said nothing had been heard from Washington, nor had there been any message from the post at Walla Walla. Regarding the telegraphic report that General Williams had been or dered to send a man here from Van couver to investigate. Miss Edwards said nothing was known at the agen cy office. According to the dispatch from Washington an officer was to ascertain conditions on the reservation and If necessary, one or more troops of cavalry would be sent from Walla Walla. However, no army officer has ap peared here toduy. Or, at least, no one of that description has made his Identity known. So It Is presumed the "reliable officer" has not arrived. Not More Than Normal High Water Expected, However. The Dalles Chronicle gives the fol lowing Interesting summary of the conditions entering Into the freshet problem: The river Is coming up pretty live ly at present, indicating 12 feet this morning at this place, but observers do not believe that this year's freshet will be as high as at first Indicated. When the two principal branches of tne Columbia rise separately the maximum water Is never reached. It Is only when the first warm weather strikes all the headwaters slmultan eously and snow begins to pour Into tne streams from British Columbia wasnington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, that a record-breaking nooa is expected and those condl Hons do not seem likely to occur this year. Several days ago a rise of two feet occurred at Lewlston, and It was an nouncea mat the annual freshet of the Columbia had commenced. The upward tendency of the Snake proved only temporary and soon the stream was back to Its former level. The present rise will, no doubt, be longer. The Columbia Is rising at all north- western states and British Columbia. Snow from the Cascades has already commenced to run out, but the mo' ment of the Rocky mountain fields has scarcely commenced. TESTING YOUR EYES Is not merely a cursory examination.

Commercial National Bank Pendleton, Oregon Capital Total Resovrcea $ 50,000.00 1200,000.00 Will Milk Many Cows. S. B. Nell, of Alba, Is In the city today on a trading trip and says the roads are now In fair condition con sidering the recent bad weather. Most of the stock in that vicinity are now on the range.

The butter and cheese made In the Alba district have always found ready mar ket In Pendleton and dairying has been carried on to a considerable ex tent In that part of the county. The country around Alba and Uklah Is especially adapted to dairying on ac count of the excellent pasturage and plentiful supply of mountain water. Another Dor Poisoned. Mark Shackleford, O. R.

An effort will be made to locate the person who has poisoned several val uable dogs In this city within the past month and if caught a combined ef fort on part of dog owners will be made to Impose the full penalty of the law upon him. Her Husband Was Stabbed to Death on Rock Creek. An aged squaw, some 70 years old, was In Arlington Monday, In search of an Indian neighbor, who she threat ens to kill If he can be discovered, says the Arlington Record. These Indians are from Rock creek In Klickitat county, where they have resided for years, making a living by farming small patches of land and snaring the salmon as they run up that stream In the spring. It appears that the squaw's husband and the other Indian had trouble on Friday of last week and the aged husband received three dangerous knife thrusts in the breast with a keen-edged butcher knife. The mur derer has escaped and Instead of tak Ing her troubles to the officers, the aged wife has gone on a still hunt for the Indian, and expects to mete out punishment to him, with her own hands, using the same knife that he stabbed her husband with. The wife Is nearly crazed with grief and we pity the Indian if she finds him, for she will surely kill him, SPRING TIME brings many ailments, especially when the system Is overloaded with winter Impurities. , You suffer from- Spring Fever, Aching Bones, Hcaduchc, Sleeplessness and Impure Blood.
