ed to commence at 9 o'clock this
morning, it was 10 when the same was
called to order by Superintendent
Sheller. However, In the meantime
the work of mnklng out applications
was cnrrled on.
At the opening of the meeting Su
perintendent Sheller Introduced Col.

on the subject of dipping nnd the
federal quarantine.

sylvanla railroad officials this
morning announce nine were

to admit to the reserve all stock that
was ranged there last year, together
with the Increase. Cattle and horses
are allowed between June 1 and Octo
ber 1, the rate being 20 cents per head
for lew than 70 head. For men hav
ing over 70 head the price Is 35
cents per head for the season. Sheep
are admitted to the reserve between
June 18 and October 15 for the price
of 5 cents per head. Two lambs
count aa one sheep.
According to Mr. Shelter his In
structions ate to admit all stock
ranged In the reserve last season, and
consequently parties purchasing stock
ranches and stock since then secure
the range privileges of the former
owner. However, the purchaser must
buy the land of the stockman aa well
aa his stock, to become entitled to
receive range. A purchaser of sheep
or cattle only does not acquire the
former owner's range rights.
After completing his remarks, Su
perintendent Sheller threw the meet
ing open and invited all to take part
freely. Thereupon Douglas Belts
arose nnd moved that a committee of
eight cattlemen and eight sheepmen
be appointed to pass upon the ad
mission of stock Into the reserve, this
season. Upon the suggestion of Perry
Gould this was changed, making nine
men from each side Instead of eight.
The motion was carried unanimously.
R. F. Hynd, of Morrow county, then
took the floor and in behalf of his
county association asked a number of
questions which had been written out
the evening prevlou. These were an-.
swered consecutively by Superintend
ent Sheller.
During the session Miss Nina Coon
acted as stenographer for the sheep
men and took down all important
proceedings in detail.
At 12 o'clock an adjournment was
taken until 1 p. m.

first crop of the second season. Last
yeur at this time this seed was Just

The soil is very sandy and It was
with much care and labor that the

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
Quotations From the Greatest Wheat

MICH CASH HAS COME WEST.
California Has Taken More Than $30,-
000,000.
New York, May 5. Probably more
than $30,000,000 have been sent to
California, either by direct shipment
or by transfer through the sub-treas
uries since the earthquake shock and
the succeeding fires that wrecked San
Francisco. Most of the money went
from New York, but there were ship
ments also from Chicago and St.
Louis. About a million dollars were
sent by Kansas City banks. ,
This great transfer of cash re
sources from reserve centers east of
the Rocky mountains has had con
siderable effect on the money mar
kets. Bankers expect that firm rates
of Interest will be maintained, not
only on account of these demands, on
their cash reserves, but also because
of the general spirit of conservatism
that has been engendered by the Cal
ifornia losses.
The demand from California for
cash arose In part from the urgent
need of money for Immediate use, and
and partly also on account of the
nervous feeling growing out of the
disaster, which Impelled all the Pa.
clflo roast banks to strengthen their
cash resources so as to be able to
meet any emergency which might
arise.
California is likely to have a super
abundance of currency. The banks
of San Francisco possess many mil
lions, chiefly gold, which will be
available as soon as the vaults in the
burned district can be opened. In ad
dition to what the banks already have
and the 130,000,000 or more . that
have been sent there, the Insurance
companies' payments of fire losses will
still further swell the supply. Prob
ably not less than $100,000,000 will
be paid by the Insurance companies.
G. A.
COUNTY JUDGE
APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR .
TO SUCCEED JUDGE BEAN
Vacancy of One Month Caused by the
Rexlgnatioii of tlie Present Candl
data for Circuit Judge, to Take Ef
fect June 2 However, Judge Bean
Holds That tho Judge-Elect Should
Qualify Immediately After Election,
Instead of July 1.
That G. A. Hartman will be the next
county Judge is now assured, for this
morning he received from Governor
Chamberlain his appointment to the
office to succeed Judge Bean, whose
resignation takes effect June 2. As
the newly elected officers do not take
office until July 1, Judge Hartman
will have a month In which to serve
before the beginning of the new term.
Immediately after Judge Bean ten
dered his resignation as county Judge
Governor Chamberlain offered the ap
pointment to Judge Hartman. How
ever, he had not then decided to run
for county Judge and so declined the
offer. However, when the governor
was at Echo recently he again offered
the appointment, and he was Informed
by Judge Hartman that the same
would be accepted.
Since the appointment was received
a question has been raised as to how
long after election an appointee can
serve. Judge Bean holds that the
county Judge-elect may qualify at once
If he desires.
GEARIN MAY BE DETAINED.
Official Duties Threaten to Keep Him
In Washington.
Since there is doubt as to whether
or not Senator Gearln can deliver the
Decoration Day address in Pendleton,
Judge George H. Williams will be in
vited to do so. Then In the event both
men find It possible to come the pro
gram will be the gainer thereby.
This morning tho following reply
was received by wire from Senator
Gearln:
Washington, D. C May 5.
Leon Cohen,
Pendleton.
Senate began discussion of rate bill
by sections yesterday. Cannot tell
when final vote will be taken. Must
not leave for any purpose until bill
passes. Impossible for me to make
any engagements ahead until pending
legislation disposed of. Am writing
you fully as to conditions here.
JOHN M. GEARIN.
In view of Senator Gearln's detei
mlnation to remain nt his post until
the rate bill passes and other legisla
tlon disposed of, tho committee has
little hope of securing htm for tne
Decoration Day program. However,
Should it develop later that he may
come, he will be warmly welcomed.
From appearances Senator Gearln
Is making no plans for a tour of the
state between now and June 4, when
he will be voted on for United States
senator. None of the local democratic
leaders who are acquainted with t'..e
senator have been advised of his
plans, and while here recently Gov
ernor Chamberlain said he did not
know Mr, Gearln's Intentions.
