In order to learn the sentiment ot the Indians upon the subject of the three proposed county roads across the reservation, a general council of the Indians has been called for to morrow. The call for the meeting Is as follows: "A general council of the Indians of the Umatilla reservation is hereby called for Wednesday, May 9, 1906, to convene at the agency council room at 9 o'clock a. m. on that date. "This council Is called in pursuance of Instructions received from the com missioner of Indian affairs. Washing' ton, D.

"A full attendance of all Indian al lottees of the reservation Is requested. "O. C. EDWARDS, ' ' "Supt. and Special DIs. Agent." Just why such action was taken by the department Is unknown and the calling of the council has aroused more or less wonder among those In terested In the proposition. Vnder the law roads may be estab lished across a reservation provided they are ordered by the county court and approved by the department. In compliance with these provisions the county court now has viewers at work on the routes of the proposed roads and It was Intended to forward the matter to the department through Major Edwards, within a short time. This will be done as Intended regard less of he Indian meeting. That the Indians will be found op posed to the road Is feared by those Interested. But they are also hopeful and confident that the roads will be established soon even should the al lottees be opposed. They contend that the roads are a necessity In view of the gographlcal position of the res ervation and say It Is only a question of time until this will be recognized by the government and Justice done.

MENACE WORKERS LEGAL TANGLES PUZZLE CLERK Question of Filing Certificates of Nomination is Being Considered, COUNTY CLERK BALING WILL ASK LEGAL ADVICE. Must Candidates Who Filed Pledge to Accept Nomination Before Primaries Be Required to File an Additional Acceptance If Prohibitionists Are Accepted as a Party Their Nomina. lions Cannot Be Placed on Official Ballot Because, of Having Been Re ceived Too Late Question Is Very Puzzling. When do candidates nomnlated for offices at the June election have to file their acceptances? This Is a problem that is Just now puzzling Frank Sallng, county clerk. The pro visions of the direct primary law upon this subject are vague and seemingly contradictory. As a result the county clerk has perused a copy of the law until It Is nearly worn out, and yet Is not clear regarding when acceptances should be filed. Since candidates who filed nomlnat ing petitions before the primaries were required to pledge themselves to accept nominations If chosen, and not to withdraw before election, it Is seemingly useless for a nominee to file another acceptance. However, such is called tor and out of an abundance of caution many have filed notices of acceptance. However, quite a few nominees of both parties have failed to do so. Under the law It is possible those wtaol have not filed acceptances may be left off the ticket It is speciifed In'the taw that where nominations are made by political parties or assem blies acceptances must be filed wltn 80 days of election, while those nom inated by Individual electors have un til within 15 days of election to file their acceptances. If the prohibitionists are recognized as a party then the nominations re cently made at Milton were too late for the 30 day limit was passed before any acceptances were filed by the can dldates named. However, county Clerk Sallng has placed the nominees on the list, giving the date upon which the acceptances reached his office. In order to fully satisfy himself re garding the provisions of the law Mr. Sallng will secure legal advice and meanwhile candidates who have not filed acceptances will do well to has ten.

T STREET P A1G SEEMS ASSURED iV, No Remonstrance Has Been Started and Everything is Favorable. LAST PUBLICATION OF AD- VERTISEMENT ON FRIDAY. Paving of East Court May Be Post poned and All Available Funds Used in Business Sections Cliair man E. J. Murphy of the Finance Committee BeJIevea the Total Cost or Paving to tlie City Can Be Kept Within $14,000 Adjourned Meeting or Council Will Perhaps Be Held to Ask for Paving Bids. Although tomorrow will be the twelfth day since the council passed the resolution for the paving ot Main and Court streets, two days more will be allowed for the filing of a re monstrance. This Is because after the resolution had been published twe days a slight change was made by Mr. Carter, then city attorney, and conse quently the previous time was lost According to John McCourt, now city attorney. It would not be safe to count the first two days of publication as such action might permit of trouble in the future. Consequently the reso lutlon will be published the last time on Friday, May 11. , . No Remonstrance on Foot. - But the extra time for a remon Btrance will have no effect on the sit uation for no antl-pavlng movement Is now on foot From all that can be learned no effort whatever Is being made to secure signers for a re monstrance and apparently the proposition Is to go through without trouble. Immediately after the pass ing of the paving resolution there was talk among some owners of re monstrating. However, no one ap peared willing to lead such a move ment and nothing definite was done. Among those disposed against paving were several good citizens who have been friends of progress, and they were unwilling to take the new role of opposition to street Improvement. After the time for remonstrating has expired the next step of the coun cil will be to advertise for bids for the bitullthic pavement. This was not done simultaneously with the publica tion of the resolution as many sup posed. As the time will not be up un til Friday an adjourned meeting will probably be held at which the re corder will be authorized to ask for bids. Since there Is no remonstrance in sight the only danger now ahead for paving Is that the financial condition of the city may be found lacking at the last moment. However, this morning E. J. Murphy, chairman ot the finance committee, said he be lieved that by close economy the city could pull through. He estimates the city's portion of the expense at 000. East Court Must Walt But in order to carry out the pav ing of the business section he believes the macadamizing of East Court street will have to be postponed. In the opinion of Mr. Murphy the paving will be all the city can handle tr summer. However, as many ui mo East Court street property owners signed a remonstrance against macad amizing they will certainly not oojeci if their Improvement Is delayed. BRINGING IN SETTLERS.
