UMATILLA.
Umatilla county Is In line to secure
what may be a considerable sum of
money from receipts of the forest ser
vice for charges on land located In
this county. County Judge Marsh
recently took the subject up with the
district forester In Portland asking
us to what money If any Is due the
county.
Today be received a reply from
Charles H. Klorey, acting district for
ester, saving that under the law each
county Is entitled to one fourth the
gross receipts of the government from
forest purposes In tlw county. Th's
money Is to be expended for roads
and schools, under the direction of
the county court.
In addition there Is a general law
that requires the expenditure by the
furest service of 10 per cent of its
gross receipts on roads within reserves.
In his letter Mr. Flory suggested
that the matter be taken up w th Su
pervisor W. W. Cryder and Judge
Marsh will comply w ith the suggestion.
How much money Is due the countv
under the Sir, per cent requirement Is
as yet unknown. Under the lit per
cent requirement the forestry people
have already expended l'.H.r,0 on
roads in reserves. In Umatilla county.
It Is the belief of Judge Marsh that
the forestry money will be expended
by the court on mountaneous roads.
The fact the county has money due
from the forestry fund wat brought
to Judge Marsh's attention by E. K.
Cleaver,

It Is known on good authority that the

formerly offered for the wool.
At the sale attempted at Echo May
25 a price of 18 7-8 cents was offered
for the Vey wool and refused. A
price of 17 1-4 was offered for the
Monesse wool.
The sale of this Echo wool Is of un.
usual Interest In view of the sale set
for Pilot Hock June 10.

President WIlMon I Surprised at
Aiuiiuie of Mr. Bryan.
WASHINGTON, June S. At the
conclusion of the cabinet meeting thl
afternoon President Wilson cau-sed
Secretary Tumulty to announce the
rejoinder to Germany was complete
and that "it Is hoped" the note will
go forward tomorrow. But the cabi
net is not unanimous In its approval of
the communication. Secretary Bryan
left the White Jlouse after the ses
sion determined to fight for a modi
fication of the note up to tha minute
of Its being cabled to Berlin. It is un
derstood the note as it nov stands
warmly reiterates the rights of the
United States under the International:
laws as set forth In the prv.ous com-j
munication Bryan believes the L'nit-I
ed States to lie on record as favoring
arbitration. If this be so lie considers
it a mockery to forvcird a lejoinder
which he considers to be an ultima-!
turn. ' I
Although a majority of the cabinet'
is understood to be agrfinrt Bryai., !
he carried the fight of persuasion ;
from the cabinet room to the Univer-!
sity club where all the members
lunched together. The position taken'
by Secretary Bryan came as a com-1
plete surprise to the president. He
was Known to favor arbitration but'
heretofore has stopped short In , his
fight for this principle when a ma
jority' (if the cabinet disagreed with
him. The president expect-rt hio c-
tion to be the same In the present in- j
stance. As a matter of fact, he pre"-)
ient told callers before the session o
the cabinet that the members were
unanimous in approval of the new j
note to Berlin. The delay of Bryan
in arriving for the mee'ing was the
first intimation that there was a dis-1
agreement as to the position this gov
ernment should take in mect'ng Ger-;

WASHINGTON. June R. President '
Wilson presented his latest not.'? to
Germany, finally revised, to the cabi
net today and unanimous approval, it
is understood, was piven tVe rejoin-!
der After being held u; since Fri
day, while the president went over the
communication determined it should,
be correct even to the most minute
tail, it was stated, following the Cfh.
inet meeting, it will nov go forward,
in the "immediate future." j
During the discussion of the ans
wer to Berlin's note re;;-ding the
Lusitania, Secretary Bryan Is under-!
stood to have desired su. h a moclif 1-,
cation as wnuhi insure a co- tinuation
of negotiations should Germany re
ject the principles set forth by the
United States. He was overruled but
endorsed the general term of the re
Joinder. I inn Altitude Maintained.
The note, as now framed, is under
stood to take no backward ?lep from
the firm position previously imllcat
ed.
The rights of the United states un
der international law are firmly slat
ed. The principle insisted upon by
the United States, that American citi
zens have the right to travel uron
the seas In safety, Is still adhered to.
The torpedoing and sinking of mer
chantmen without first rbservlng the
rules of visitation and search is I.eld
to be a violation of the inurnatlrna!
rules of warfare and the determina
tion of the United States to protect
Its citizens Is reiterated.

LIBRARY BOARD FINDS IT
- HAS LEGAL TITLE TO STRIP
Discovery of the fact that Jackson
street east of Main Is ten feet nar-
rower than the same street west of
Main has materially altered the situa-'
tion confronting the library board j
Instead of being placed In the posi
tion of applicants for a portion ot
the street in order to secure suffi
cient ground room for the library
building as planned, the board now
has legal title to the i.ecessa:y
ground.
Acting Mayor John Dyer and othe's,
while looking up the status of the city
property, found that JacUson street
east of Main had been opened at a
different time and that the remain-j
der of that street and that, at the'
time of dedication, it was specified j
that the street should be 60 feet'
wide. This makes it ten feet narrow
er than was thought. j
The city officials secured deeds
fiom the original holders of the land1
and District Attorney Steiwer held
that the city V title was food. The ;
district attorney was present last ev j
ening at a joint meeting of the coun-'
cil and library board with Messrs.'
Greuiich and Alexander, v ho own the!
residence property across the street j
from the library site, and expressed '
his formal opinion on tha validity olj
the city's title. Judge Lowell, repte-;
senting the two property orners, tool. i
a contrary view, declaring his opin-i
ion ttuu the street had betii so loni;
consideied full width from end to;
end and had been so used a. a street
that the original owners had lost title
to it. !
The meeting was a very friendly af
fair last evening and an amicable set-1
tlement will result. The library board;
originally asked for the vacation of!
a -t) foot strip of the street but la'er
decided a seven foot strip would an-
swer. The extra ten foot strip thus
gives the board three more than Is
absolutely necessary. Mefsis. C.reu-
lich and Alexander both expressed
themselves as having no wish to
stand in the way of the Improvement
and though no final action was ta-
ken, it is probable a settlement sat-
bfactory to all will be ma le.
Acting Mayor Dyer has been mak-
ing out a deed conveying the library
site from the city to the county inas -
much as the library ta to be a county
institution.
