Sale There, Where 250,000 Pounds
Will Be Marketed.
With approximately four-fifths of
the wool In the warehouses sold, the
big wool sale came to a close at 1)
o'clock this forenoon. Of the million
pounds In the warehouses at the
opening of the sale about 19S.000 Is
still In the hands of the growers.
Much of this wool was offered for
sale but was withdrawn because the
owners regarded the prices as unsatis
factory. Among those who did not
sell for this reason were William
Blusher, K. J. Warner, Perry Oould
and John Rust. Of these the first two
have large clips. Slusher's amounting
to 88,647 pounds.
The wool that was withdrawn, to
gether with what was not offered for
sale because not hauled yet, will be
sold at the next salesday, which Is
scheduled for May 29.
Rales In Detail.
The following Is a detailed list of
the sales late yesterday afternoon and
this forenoon:
A. P. Warner's clip, bought by S.
Koshland A Co. for 21 cents.

man, Farnsworth A Thayer for 20V4
cents.

man, Farnsworth A Thayer for 20

man, Farnsworth A Thayer for 21

Shortly after 10 o'clock this fore
noon the last of the wool In the Fur
nish warehouse was disposed of, and
the crowd of buyers and growers then
repaired to the Independent ware
house, where a number of clips were
stored. The last of these was offered
just before 11 o'clock. It was that of
K. O. Warner, nnd the price offered
was not accepted.
In many Instances where low prices
were offered the same was due to the
fact that the sheep from which the
clips were taken had been dipped
during the season, thus decreasing the
value of the clip.
Among those who have part or all
of their wool In the warehouses, but
did not sell are the following: K. O.
Warner, Mallahan A Byrne, Pat Pc
herty, Charles McUoS. Joe Connelly,
A. H. Sundermnn. William Slusher,
H. P. Oould, George Adams,' F. Dick
inson and A. A. Cole.
Sale Wiw a Success.
Although he did not sell his own
clip, Perry Gould, president of the
Umatilla County Woolgrowers" asso
ciation said after the sale this morn
ing that In general the growers had
profited by having the salesday. In
his opinion better prices were paid for
most of the clips than would have
been given In private bargains.
At Echo This Afternoon.
At 1:30 this afternoon the wool
buyers left by special train for Echo
to take part In a sale to be held there
this afternoon. There are a number
of big clips stored at that place, and

L
WATER QUARREL
TREATY IN HAND WHICH
MAY BRING AGREEMENT.
Americano Have Scoured Advantages
Which They Are Loth to Relinquish
The Building of a $7,000,000 Di
version Dam by Americans Brought
the Disagreement to an Amicable
Legal Climax.
Washington, May 23. Secretary
Root, for the United States, and Am
bassador Casosus, for the Mexican
government signed a treaty regulating
the use of the waters of the Rio
Grande, which. If approved by the
senate, will remove what has been for
20 years past a source of friction In
the relations of the two countries.
For almost a century the Mexicans
living along the lower river have
made large use of Its waters for the
purpose of Irrigating their lands.
But In recent years private companies
on the upper waters In the United
States have, by the construction of
wing dams, diverted a large part of
the water to this side of the river.
The Mexicans have preferred claims
for the damage sustained, but so far
without success.
Now the plans of the reclamation
service have made it certain that prac
tlcally all of the water will be retained
on American soil unless some proper
scheme of division can be arranged.
The construction of the 17,000,000
dam across the Rio Grande at Engcl.
N. M., brought the matter to a cli
max and led to negotiations between
the two countries which culminated
In the treaty signed today.

be no pictures taken of the Nelson-
Herera fight at Los Angeles on May
25. After rowing for two weeks
through their managers and almost
coming to blows prematurely when

foam at the mouth, and when they
meet It will be for blood and the long

TROUBLE AHEAD IF
Unless the law regarding fish lad
ders and screens Is promptly com
plied with by the Oregon Land A
Water company at Irrlgon, the offi
cials of that company will find them
selves In trouble. Last evening O. F.
Turner, deputy game warden, and G.
I. LaDow returned from irrlgon,
where they made an inspection of the
company's dam yesterday.
According to Deputy Turner they
found the Irrigation dam to be wholly
unprovided with a fish ladder, al
though the company had been notified
two months ago to establish one.
Through their negligence In the mat
ter the river just below the dam is
now filled with fish that have collect
ed In an attempt to pass the obstruc
tion. During the high water in the
river the fish were able to pass tho
dam, but at the present stage of the
river they cannot do so.

COMMERCIAL BANKS ALL
TRANSACTING BUSINESS.
Nearly All the Savings Banks Have
Opened, With Abundant Gold in the
Vaults and Also Convertible Secur
ities Humboldt Bank Will Divert
All Its Insurance for Building Loans
to Its Patrons Two Receiving Tel
lers Told Off at One Bank to Take
Care of an Receipt for Deposits.
San Francisco, May 23. This
morning at 9 o'clock the commercial
bank opened their doors for the
transaction of regular business un
hampered by clearing house restr'c
Hons. Gold In plenty filled the vaults
and there Is as much money In the
banks today as ever in the history of
San Francisco. The stability of the fl
nancltU situation Is such that there Is
not the slightest evidence of a money
panic, every bank in the city now be
ing In a position to meet all obliga
tions without undue strain.
While the official date for the for
mal opening of banks is next Monday,
many savings Institutions opened this
morning. The Mutual Savings bank
opened for unrestricted business with
120.000,000 In money and active secur
ities In the vaults. The California
Safe Deposit A Trust company open'
ed at Its old quarters at the corner
of California and Montgomery streets.
This bank is one of the first to have
temporary quarters completed.
The Humboldt bank opens tomor
row morning. About SO per cent of
the Humboldt's loans were In the
burned district, and the bank an
nounced It will return all Its Insurance
money to borrowers for rebuilding
purposes.
with no more rush or excitement
than usually attended the settling on
a day before the fire, the Hibernian
bank, the city's largest savings Instl
tutlon, thre wopen Its doors at 9 this
morning. Every look and every ac
tion of the hundreds In line before
the doors opened betokened confl
dence. The line began to form at
6:45. At 9 It extended down Jones
street and then down Golden Gate as
far as Market and back again to
wards Jones. Old women, young
cleiks. begrimed teamsters and pretty
stenographers were there, all as cheer
ful as a crowd of theater-goers wait
ing their turns at the box office.
A young fellow In working clothes
stepped out of line to give his place to
an aged woman In a shawl who
tightly hugged to her breast her little
yellow-covered book. Others followed
suit, and soon the woman was far up
the line. Many brought lunches and
stools and prepared for a long wait.
When the doors opened the first
10 persons were told off and allowed
to enter. Two paving tellers had
their money benches heaped with gold
and quickly passed out the coin. Few
withdrew their total deposits, and
LAW IS NOT OBEYED
Nor have the Irrlgon people com
plied with the law requiring that
screens be placed over the headgates
of Irrigation ditches. Though they
were found to have screens on the
ground, they have not been placed
and so are of no use at present.
During the day Deputy Turner ap
peared before John McCourt, acting
district attorney, for the purpose of
having criminal action taken against
the manager of the Irrlgon company.
After looking up the law the deputy
district attorney said he would notify
Mr. Cook by 'phone that the ladder
must be established at once, and that
If a satisfactory answer was not given
he would Issue a warrant for his ar
rest
While away on their recent trip,
Messrs. Turner and LaDow made fur
ther changes in the ladder at Hermls-
ton so that fish may now get past
there.
there were few large withdrawals
but mostly by persons who needed the
funds for building purposes. Most of
the depositors merely wanted money
to meet present passing needs. In the
meantime two receiving tellers were
taking care of those who wished to
make deposits.
Officials of the banks predict busi
ness will resume normal conditions by
tomorrow.

HOPEFUL FOR
L
TRAVELING MEN FOR HIM
REGARDLESS OF POUTICSj
The Best Governor In Many Years, and
Political Lines Should Not, Be
Drawn By the Same Index, Jona
than Bonnie Is Below Par as a Po
litical Aaset and His Nomination Is
Looked Upon as a Disgrace.
It Is generally regarded that the
political sentiment among traveling
men is an Index of the general feel
Ing over the state, and If such is true,
George E. Chamberlain will again be
governor of Oregon. Within the past
week many well known sulesmen have
expressed their opinions freely while
here, and In every case noted they
have prophesied the re-election of
Governor Chamberlain.
This morning two men of the road
were discussing the subject at the
Hotel Pendleton and when question
ed as their own intentions for election
day both declared that though they
were republicans they would cast' their
ballots for the present governor.
"There Is no reason on earth why
Governor Chamberlain should not be
re-elected excepting that he is a dem
ocrat," said one, "and with me that
objection counts for little. He Is an
able man and has made the best gov
ernor the state has hnd for years. I
am not going to vote against him
simply to satisfy some politicians on
the other side."
That the above sentiment is shared
by the majority of traveling men Is
apparent to anyone who has talked
with them. But a few days ago a
group of half a dozen or more were
gathered at an eastern Oregon Junc
tion, and though nearly all were re
publicans the crowd was unanimous In
support of Governor Chamberlain.
It Is also a noteworthy fact that
among the men on the road the can
didacy of Jonathan Bourne Is looked
upon as a disgrace to the state. One
man who has known the would-be
senator for years declared recently
that he knew of nothing to the credit
of Bourne, and attributed his nomina
tion to lack of knowledge concerning
him.
