Small Percentage of Sheep,

BEIOW ARK THE FACTS
THAT CAN E PROVEN.
Prima Facia Evidence of Partiality
and InJuHtloe In the Allotment of
Forest Reserve Range 'Further
more, tlic Rules Governing the Ap
portionment Have Been Violated
Affidavits to Support Every Con
tention by Oregon People Appeal
Will He Taken If Nerawary.
If justice In to be considered In the
division of the Wenaha reserve, the
claims of the Oregon sheepmen will
surely be granted, for In the remon
strance which they presented at Walla
Walla, today facts and figures are
given which should convince any fair
minded person that their contention
la just.
The papers composing the remon
strance were drawn by Colonel Raley
and Secretary Smythe, after their re
turn from Walla Walla Saturday
They cover many pages of typewritten
manuscript and required much labor
In preparation.
The first document Is a general re
monstrance from the Umatilla County
Woolgrowers' association against the
allotment that wo made of the range
In the Wenaha reserve. It Is signed
by the president and secretary.
Washington Took It AIL
Among the facta presented are the
following:
Of the land In the Wenaha reserve,
398,000 acres lies In Oregon, while
but 338.000 Is In the state of Wash
ington. By the recent allotment made
at Walla Walla, 123.000 Washington
sheep were admitted to range within
the reserve, while only 85,367 Oregon
sheep were allowed. Of the Washings
ton sheep, E8.K8 were allotted to
range In Oregon, while no Oregon
sheep were given range In Washing-
ion. The number of Washington
sheep admitted to Oregon range la
but 600 less than asked for, while the
Oregon applications were cut down
practically 60 per cent. Applications
were made for 07.9M head, and only
36.367 were admitted. Thus It is seen
that the Oregon men alone wero scal
ed, while Washington stockmen were
allowed all they asked for. The
committee which arranged the allot
ments under the direction of Ranger
Smltz wns composed of eight Wash
Ington men, and three from this
state.
Rules Were Violated.
The manner In which the rango was
allotted Is held to be In violation of
the rules of the forest reserve bureau.
Regulation 11 of the rules for allot
ment of forest reserves provides:
"The owners of stock which belong
In the state or territory In which the
forest reserve Is located, will be given
the preference and resident owners
will be considered first."
Another parngniph under the same
regulation, Is as follows:
"Whenever It Is found necessary to
reduce the number of stock allowed In
any reserve or portion thereof, tho
smnll owners shall first be provided
for. The reduction shall then be made
on the number allowed lurger owners
on the biisla of a sliding scale suited
to tho conditions of each case."
Affidavit From 20 Stockmen.
Accompanying the remonstrance
are affidavits from John Bryant,
county stock Inspector, and 20 Uma
tilla county sheepmen. The affida
vit of tho stock Inspector Is concern
ing the rango In the reserve, while
those of the stockmen show the
amount of sheep which each man
holds he should be allowed In the re
serve. Those making the affidavits
were Joe Connelly, George H. McDon
ald, Cunningham Sheep & Land com
pany, J. N. Hurgess, George E. Adams,
J. C. Hosklns. John Rust, William
Plusher, D. L. Johnson, Manuel Pe
dro, Oils La Fontaine, J. M. Keeney,
Enoch Pearson, Paul C. Sperry, K. G.
Warner, C. W. Mathews, Rugg Bros.,
O. W. Rugg, Dan P. Smythe and the
J, E. Smith Livestock company.
Will Appeal If Necessary.
All of the papers constituting the
remonstrance were taken to Walla
Walla this morning by Dan P.
Smythe, secretary of the Umatilla
County association. As the consid
eration of the evidence will necessar
ily take some time. It Is presumed It
will be several days before action Is
taken by Superintendent Shelter and
Ranger Smltz. Should the decision be
against the Oregon men, an appeal
will be taken to the head of the de
partment, In which case It la said
there will be something doing for the
officials at Walla Walla.
LARGE CROWD AT ECHO TODAY.

Apt Pupil In the Vernacular of the San
Francisco Earthquake.
Although the recent San Francisco
disaster was a terrible tragedy, there
were doubtless some amusing features
along with the horrible, thought It Is
the latter that have been wired out.
The following story, which Is told by
a refugee who arrived in Pendleton
recently, is guaranteed to be true.
In the residence district of the
stricken city there was a family that
had a parrot. But unlike the usual
bird of Its class, it would not talk.
For days the members of the family
had tried In vain to Induce the parrot
to talk. Seemingly the words spoken
made no Impression on Polly. How
ever, on the day of the earthquake
there was one expression freely used
by hundreds, and the tune was fin
ally caught by the parrot It kejrt re
peating them over and over, "What
In h 1 Is the matter?"

tangible Property" The Governor
Renews Ills Faith In the Direct Pri
mary Law and Elect! ou of U. S.
Senators by Popular Vote.
George E. Chamberlain, governor
or Oregon, was a visitor In Pendleton
last evening for several hours. After
having attended the Echo picnic dur
ing the day, at which he delivered an
address, the governor came to Pen
dleton on the evening train. After
spending several hours In the city he
left on the 11 o'clock westbound
train for Salem.
While here Governor Chamberlain
declared his faith in the direct pri
mary law, and insisted that the choice
of the people for senator as it will be
expressed In the June election should
be ratified by the legislature. By this
method only he holds the senate of
the United States can be made a truly
representative body, and ultimately
the constitution will be changed so as
to allow of the direct election of sen
ators by the people.
One subject In which Governor
Chamberlain has taken great Interest
during his administration. Is that of
taxes on intungible property. In his
first message to the legislature he
urged legislation to this effect, and
though but two of the suggestions
were adopted, the revenue of the state
from other than county taxes has
been nearly trebled during the three
years he has been In offlfe. For four
years prior to 1903, there was collect
ed from sources othor than county
taxes, about $240,000. During the
three years of the present administra
tion nearly $600,000 has been col
lected. This amount has been derived
mostly from the Inheritance tax, li
cense fees collected from corporations
and from the tax on the gross earn
ings of Insurance companies.
It Is the firm belief of Governor
Chamberlain that the entire stato ex
pense may be met with funds derived
from taxes on the gross earnings of
public corporations, and that the
counties should be relieved of paying
taxes for state purposes.

NEW MARKET FOR POTATOES.
Quality of the Yakima Product Has
Deteriorated.
A now market has been obtained
for the surplus potatoes of the Yaki
ma valley, says the Yakima Repub
lic. A carload was sent to Honolulu
this week by R. S. Morgan, who be
lieves that he can dispose of many
carloads at that point In the Pacific
ocean. The potatoes forwarded were
of the choicest selected to stand a
long shipment by water. Mr. Morgan
hopes to make a market in the island
that will be of great benefit to the
growers of spuds In this valley. He
Is also filling some orders this spring
for the government.
The potato market this spring has
been the worst in years In Yakima.
There has been very little demand
owing to the large supply lust year
on the coast and In Oregon. The
quality of the Yakima potato has de
teriorated some and this hus had a
bad effect on the market for the
Yakima product. The acreage plant
ed to spuds will not be largo this year
and It Is believed that better seeds
will be used by the growers.
