OREGON MEN DEFEND THE
FOREST RESERVE POLICY.
Salt Lake Convention Finally Endors
ed General Policy, But Recommend
ed Changes Oregon nnd Vniatilla
County Represented by Influential
Delegations Dan P. Smyth Was
on Committee on Resolutions and
Was Elected to the Permanent Ex
ecutive Committee.
During the convention of the Na
tional Woolgrowers' association, Just
held at Salt Lake, some good work
was done in behalf of this state by
the members of the Oregon deelga
tton. While there attending the con
vention they placed before the chief
forester and other officials present
several propositions greatly desired by
the Oregon men. That tiiey are In
a fair way to have their requests
granted Is understood by the local
men.
Last night the members of the Ore
gon delegation arrived home on pas
senger train No. S. Those In the del
egation from this county were J. N.
Burgess, president of the Oregon as
sociation; Dan P. Smythe, secretary,
of the same; Douglas Belts and Thom
as Boylen. Others in the Oregon
party were ex-Congressman M. A.
Moody, H. C. Rooper of Antelope; A.
L. Mcintosh, of Paulina; George
Ayers, of Baker City; T. Turnbow. of
Ontario; Charles and Harry Anderson,
of Skull Springs: Mr. Stubblefield, of
Wallowa, and others. Dr. McClure,
head of the federal stock Inspection
In the northwest, also accompanied
the party and returned last night
While at the convention the Oregon
meen took a very active part In the
proceedings and were influential In
shaping the course of the meeting.
Dan P. Smythe, of this city, was
named as a member of the committee
on resolutions and also on the execu
tive committee, which has charge of
the association affairs during the In
terval between the annual sessions.
At the opening of the convention
strong opposition was developed from
some quarters to the forest reserve
policy of the government. Several of
the delegations were bitter against
the reserve Idea and in the committee
on resolutions a hard fight was made
to censure the administration. In be
half of the Oregon delegation Mr.
Smythe opposed this move' and
throughout the meeting the Oregon
men were strong backers of the for
estry bureau. The resolution finally
aioptcd endorsed the general policy
of the government regarding reserves.
out recommended some changer.
In choosing a l-lace for the next
convention a hard fight ensued be
tween Salt Lake, Helena and Albu
querque, N. M. Strong delegations
represented each city, and for a time
the contest was In doubt. Holena was
placed In nomination by Dan P.
Smythe. When the vote was finally
taken all In the convention were al
lowed to vote vlve voce pnd the decis
ion was given to Salt Lake. At this
the Montana men made a protest in
sisting that only authorized delegates

FIVE INDIANS WERE CREMATED
(Continued from page 1.)
of the agoncy buildings at Irregular
hours of the night. It was required
that the Inspection be made irregu
larly. At 8:30, retiring time. It was
his duty to visit every plaoe. where a
fire had burned during the day.
While upon the stand Mr. Gardner
said he had been over the agency
grounds during Saturday evening, and
that before retiring about 11 o'clock,
he had looked out of his door and
saw nothing out of the way.
All Wore Indiana.
It was discernible amid the ruins
that one of the dead men wore cordu
roy trousers and had a gold ring upon
the third finger of' his left hand. By
some it was feared possibly he was a
white man and the police were ques
tioned closely upon that point Ac
cording to Chief Luke Mlnthorn, his
orders were to arrest "Indians, white
men or Frenchmen" If drunk or
fighting upon the reservation. Two
months ago a white man, found
drunk, had been locked up. But since
that time the only prisoners had been
Indians.
Who They Wem
Henry Cook, or Henry Pond, was a
young educated Indian and well
known to those familiar with the
reservation. He was a frequent vis
itor in the Pendleton police court and
was regarded as a reckless Indian,
though of a Jovial nature. Abraham
Lyman, was likewise a Umatilla
tribesman and like his fellow prisoner
was much addicted to the use of "fire
water." Went-pa-ya, the Takima, had been
here but a short time and about two
weeks ago was married to Alice Pad
awah, the well known Indian woman.
At the Inquest yesterday Alice was
called upon to describe her husband's,
dress and identified him as the man
with the corduroy trousers and the
gold ring. .
Um-ta-ki-llp, the Montana Indian,
was likewise married to a Umatilla
squaw. He was Wet Coyote's son-in-law,
and was married In Montana
about a year ago. He was an edu
cated Indian and had been to Wash
ington for the purpose of serving as
interpreter for his chief.
Reuben, or Wet-a -snoot, was the
son-in-law of Small Hawk, the Uma
tilla Indian. He was a Lapwal and
an allottee of that reservation, as was
also Um-ta-kl-llp. (
1rte .Turv's Verdict
After considerable deliberation the
following verdict was agreed upon by
the coroner's Jury:
"That Um-ta-kl-llp, Wet-a-snoot,
Went-pa-ya, Henry Cook and Abra
ham Lyman were burned to death In
the agency Jail In Umatilla county,
Oregon. That they were locked In the
said Jail by the Indian police under
general Instructions, for drunkenness
and fighting. That we believe the
Jail caught fire from the inside and
that it was impossible to rescue the
Inmates owing to the system of cor
ing for the prisoners locked in the
Jail.

During the inquest stenographic

be forwarded to the department at

s
SAY DEATH OF TRIBESMEN
WAS DUE TO CARELESSNESS.
No Guard Left at the Jull nnd the
Prisoners Were Dead Before Any
Effort Was Made to Rescue Pa
thetic Letter to Indian Cominhedon-
er Gives Sentiment of the Indiana
on the Death of Their Tribesmen.
In n most pathetlo letter to Indian
Commissioner Francis E. Leupp,
Umupine, the wel known Umatilla In
dlan, today expressed the sentiment
of his tribe upon the terrible death
of five of their tribesmen In the agency
pall Sunday morning.
That the five Indians "who were
burned to death were unjustly impris
oned, and met their death through
gross carelessness and mismanage
ment is the belief of the Indians and
Umaptne's letter expresses the senti
ment of the tribe In crude, yet im
pressive language.
He said to the commissioner:
"These Indians were not blind drunk.
They Were going home and were ar
rested while they were creating no
disturbance. They were placed In
Jail, the Jail locked, and all the offi
cers of the agency went to bed, leav
ing no guard at the Jail where these
men were confined.
"The agent did not know they were
In Jail, according to his own words.
When the people of the agency were
awakened by the fire, the Indians
were dying and no one came to un
lock the door until they were dead.
I am sad today, as are my people. I
speak the truth to you. This Is suf
ficient now. I will speak later on the
subject"
The Indians feel that unnecessarily
rigorous rules are enforced on the
reservation in regard to drunken In
dians. It la said that the police have
orders to arrest any one on whom
they may smell whiskey and in this
practice often Incarcerate Innocent
Indians who must He In the agency
jail.
The Indians especially condemn the
practice of leaving the Jail unguarded
while prisoners are confined in it and
are also of the opinion that If the gov
ernment Is going to maintain a Jail
at the agency that It should be forced
to provide a fire-proof structure In
which the lives of Innocent men would
not be endangered.
This Is the second fire to occur In
this Jull In the past two years.
Bowling Game Tomorrow Night.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY
Tallman Co. Will Refund Money If
Mi-o-na Falls' to Cure.
You may ask why It Is that Mi-o-na
stomach tablets are sold by Tallman
& Co. under a guarantee to refund the
ineny unless they cure, when no
other treatment for stomach trouble
Is sold In this manner.
The answer Is simple and conclu
sive. Other medicines for stomach
troubles merely digests the food,
while Ml-o-na strengthens the whole
dlsestlve system so that It soon be
comes able to care for all the food
that Is eaten.
If you do not use your arm or leg
for a month the muscles become flab
by an.' weak and you have to resort
to artificial help. It Is the same way
with the stomach muscles. If they are
not used they become so weak that It
Is neeessary to continue using a di
gestive With the food you eat.
On the other hand, when you use
Ml-o-na, your Btomach soon grows so
s'rong that you can give up the use of
medicine.
Ml-o-na corts SOc a box and does
more real good than a dozen boxes of
ordinary digestive tablets. The proof
of this Is shown In the fact that a
guarantee, absolute and unqualified, Is
tflven by Tallman & Co. with every
box of Ml-o-na.
