New Make, of Combine Harvester In vented and Manufactured by Pen- dleton Man Are Ready for Use; Many Orders Refused on Account of Luck of Faculties. Three new combined harvesters, made entirely In Pendleton, the In vention of A. D. Reynolds and manu factured at Pendleton Iron Works during the past three months, will be taken out of the factory Sunday for a trial run around the city on their own wheels. ' These machines are the Invention of Mr. Reynolds, who has been en gaged upon perfecting a new prin ciple In combined harvesters for a number of years and who has at last turned out three Ideal machines all of which have been purchased by Umatilla county farmers who will use them for the first time In cutting this year's wheat crop. The Reynolds machines are equip ped with an automatic leveling ap paratus by which the harvesters ad Just themselves to any kind of uneven ground and are especially adapted to the foothill sections where much time Is lost and much extra work re quired In running the old machines In adjusting, lowering and raising them for uneven ground. The Rey nolds machine does all this while moving rapidly along without extra labor or delay. The Reynolds machines have an 18-foot cut and can be handled ly 21 horses and will cut 30 acres per day In an ordinary day's work. They are of light draught and being made on new principles are much easier to handle than the older class of com bined harvesters. The automatic leveling apparatus makes them much more convenient and effective on un even ground and In the foothill dis tricts and they give promise of being used extensively In the Inland em pire, The three machines now on hand have been sold to Bain Brothers of Pilot Rock, Grant Elgin and H. R. Nell of the district north of the city, and Mr. Reynolds has refused a num ber' of orders this season on account of a lack of facilities to turn out more machines. It Is possible that he will employ a large number of men next season In manufacturing the machines In this city.

Hartman became poison ed by poison oak and he is now sorely afflicted at his home in Portland. The Judge, was intending to make a visit to Pendleton within a day or two, but he has had to postpone his trip because of his ailment Cabin on Upper McKay Creek Served aa "Residence" for Sixty Different Dupce Actual Claims Several Miles Distant in Many Instance Hut Will Become Famous In Approach ing Trials of Pendleton Men. One of the most interesting details of the Umatilla land frauds to be brought out In the trial of those ac cused, will be the manner in which entrymen were located upon their land. , Several witnesses have testified as to this feature of the frauds before the federal grand Jury and it has de veloped that this will be one of the chief features of the 'trials. It Is suld thut about 60 entrymen were located upon their claims by one locator, who. used the same homesteader's" cabin for the entire 60 entrymen. This cabin is located on Upper McKay, convenient to much of the unallotted Umatilla lands and will figure In the trials as con spicuously as any other special fea ture. Photographs of It have been taken and evldunce Is being gathered to the effect that it has atcually serv ed as the "residence" of at least 60 individual people. The plan by which the eatrymen were to prove up on the Indian lands was to hire Improvements made on their claims, since many of them were engaged in active business and could not spare the time to make the improvements themselves. In a large number of cases the same men who located the entrymen on their land, was also employed to build the cabins on the different claims and make the Improvements required by law. The entrymen would be taken out to hjs claim and shown a cabin, his "residence," and believing that this cabin was on his land the en trymen could Innocently make oath that he had a residence on the land. The facts are that the cabin shown many entrymen as their "residence," was from four to eight miles from their land and the same cabin serv ed for everybody who simply took the land for speculation. I Many of the entrymen located their own lands, built their own cabins and made their own improvements and In these cases were familiar with their claims, but a large number of claims were taken by people who simply took the land for speculation and who were duped as to the location of the land and as to the improvements made upon their land by the locators. Married at I'klah. Miss Olive Turner and James Bald win, both of Uklah,' were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. E.
