Senator Fulton told of his Interview with the president, and said he hod "every assurance that he would shortly have the matter sat isfactorily adjusted in the interest of I iU. - 1- - Senator Fulton's appeal to the president Is based on the clause in the treaty with the Umatlllas which provides that the president may de clare a right of way across the reser vation when public Interest requires such a ruling. In hla written appeal to the president Senator Fulton said: "I find in the treaty between the United States and the Walla Walla, Cayuse and Umatilla bribes, made June 9. 1865, as shown by the Twelfth' Statutes at Large, the following au thority for the president to intervene when public interest requires a right of way across the reserved land.
