Short of the Failure of the Company

New Statute Has Immediate and In
teresting Effect In Pendleton and
Will Reform Certain Methods.
When the law regarding time
checks, passed by the recent legisla
ture, goes Into effect It will do away
with such practices as have been In
dulged In here by the Pacific Coast
Construction company, assisted by the
Commercial National bank.
Since the company has been at
work on the Pilot Rock branch the
company, as is well known, has been

as being cashable only at the Commer-

clnl National bank of this city. Others
in the city who took the checks at
their face value relying upon the
company to pay them when due, have
learned to their sorrow that under the
present law it would be more expen
sive to force the company, by means
of legal action, to pay the checks than
to accept the 10 per cent discount.
Accordingly the discount has been al
lowed and the construction company,
or the company and the bank togeth
er, have profited to the extent of 10
per cent of the amount paid to the
laborers In wages.
Though being forced to take the dis
count, much dissatisfaction has been
caused among the men and yesterday
the entire force of one of the camps
quit work In a body. However, all
have not been forced to take the dis
count as some checks have been seen
in circulation marked with a request
to the Commercial National bank to
omit the discount. These checks are
said to have been paid In full by the
bank.
But under the law recently passed,
and which will 'go Into effect about
June 1, It will be impossible for any
concern to work such a system as Is
now being used by the Pacific Con
struction company, for the reason that
the law requires all time checks to
be negotiable, and .specifies that when
suit or action is taken to collect
payment, attorney's fees may also be
sued for.
The bill passed was senate bill No.

CHIEF NO SHIRT
PRE
WOULD PREVENT FURTHER
INDIAN TESTIMONY
Although tlie Taking of Indlnn Testl
mony Hud Closed. Yet the Chief
Delres u Further Hearing Before
the Inspector No Shirt and His
Pi ople Pleased With the Inspection
Made by Sir. Davis.
Although tho taking of testimony
from thu Umatilla Indians in the in
vestigation of the affairs at the
agency Is - practically completed by
Infnector Davis, yet Chief No Shirt
last evening requested the inspector
to permit him to Introduce further
evidence ag.ilnst Superlntednent Ed
wardi and make further complaints.
The Indians feel that the inspection
has been thorough and complete
and while the Inspector is here on
he ground th.jy desire to go over all
their grievances and present all the
complaints lodged against Edwards.
For this reason No Shirt requested
tne privilege of Introducing further
evidence.
It Is not known whether the re
quest will be- granted by Inspector
Davis, as he had closed the taking
of Indian testimony several .days
ago.
No Shirt said to the East Oregon-
Ian last evening that he felt that the
Indians will receive a most fair and
Impartial deal from Inspector Davis
and tha't his people were willing to
submit to the decision of the depart
ment In the Investigation. He said
that ho hnd presented his case to the
lnpector as forcibly as possible and
that h? feels It. his duty to guard the
Interests of his people against the en
croachments of every element which
rmlght be opposed to their welfare.
In a somewhat dramatic interview
he said that he had lain awake at
night, many times, thinking of the
welfare of his .tribe and that as long
at he lives and Is chief, he will not
permit wrongs to be perpetrated up
on the Indians without making a pro
tert. He believes that the department
desires to treat the Indians right
and tint nil the wrongs are imposed
upon his people by scheming indi
viduals whom the department will
n-t shield If It is Informed of the
facts.
It Is understood that the Indians
will bitterly protest against the
monthly Installment plan of paying
rent money.
Wheat Sacks High.
Warehousemen lire advising their
customers 'to buy grain sacks at 10
1-2 cents, believing they will be high
er heforo harvest. So far very few
sacks have been sold and some of
the warehousemen have not sold a
single one. Euyers say they have
been Informed by their companies
that even at tho high prices at which
sacks were sold last year the com
panies made no profit. Washtucna

"urn Jackson and a number nf
other Interpreters who have been
on the Umatilla reservatlnn during
the 'nvestlgation of nffalrs on the
rexeivallon, are leaving for Yakima
and Nez Porce. It Is not probable
that any further complaints . or tes-
tlmnny will be received from the In
dlans by Inspector Davis.

sister of Judge T. G. and John Halley,

teacher In the Pendleton high school,
ha. again accepted a position In that

came necessary through the resigna

cessor arrives. Several days ago the

Attempt to Blow Up a House.
An attempt was made lust night by
unknown parties to blow up the resi
dence of Charles Collard, an East
.Mulri street furniture dealer, by put
ting black powder In the chimney
Collard lives In rooms at the rear of
his store and Ihe roof at the back of
the building is low, making It com
paratively easy for any one to get to
the chimney. The powder was ex
ploded this morning about 7 o'clock,
while Mrs. Collard was cooking
breakfast, tearing the chimney out
and scattering the bricks t.11 over
the room. Sirs. Collard had Just
stepped away from tho stove and u
escaped being injured. Bricks were
thrown with such force across the
roim a. to T.nrk the wall on tho
opposite side.
A piece of fuse, found .)n the out
side of the building, would Indicate
that the first purpose was to set the
powder off during the night, but for
some reason this Idea was changed
and the powder left to explode when
the fire was started. Colfax Com
