B'aslrrn Oregon Stockmen Obey
lo ver nmeii ( Orders.
Eastern Oregon stockmen will, ap
parently, ob-y the order of the Interior
Department to teur don the fences that
enclose public lands. Those upon whom
reports have been made have obeyed
instructions;, and thousands of acres of
p'-iblie lands will be thrown open again
f Lis Fall. A large part of the territory
included in the itintrarv of the special
ajent is understood to be already open,
but a -null 1 portion will be fenced in
;')fiJ after thia seasons crops are
gatherfd.
Edward Dixon, the special agent of
the Interior Department, in charge of
! e work, ha? not been able to go over
ix, ore than 21 per cent of the land. He
was called away- from the work by
other duties, b-it is to return to Eastern
Oregon within a lew day.
It is likely t hat the special agent will
be in the field until the cold weather
ti rives him out. It may be he will be
;il !e to complete bis task by that time,
b t if fn Htii! finds more work to be
I jne it will be taken up next, Spring.
The woik of compelling the stockmen
to take d n line fences on public lands
i.-: being jirosecKed by the United States
Attorney's Office, in conjunction with
t:;e special agent of the Interior Depart
Ji.jr.t. It is declared that prosecutions
w:!l follow in the event any of the stock
men refuse to obey the order or are
1 iiirnpient.
Since the work cannot be completed
i :t:i late fall, it is not likely there
v 11 be any further extensions of time.
Tue officials in charge of the matter
Lai determined to allow such settlers as
Lj.1 crops on Oovernment land an op
p :rtunity to harvest them, insisting that
fences should come down when harvest
:; g was completed. The ppecial agen
v !! now go over much of the territory
a'ter the crops are in, and he will be ex-p-cted
to s-e that fences come down
idle he is on the ground.
This determination to compel those
usurping public lands to take down
t.'.eir fences immediately- grows out of
t! t fact that any other action would
necessitate a second visit, and the fences
:aa be movel in a comparatively short
t.tne. The erecial agent would save
t'cie ari bi minion be better fulfilled
if Le remained until his orders were
o'.eyc'.
V( L.ie Fedciai oiliciaia have no intima
tion that the threats of trouble between
fii.eep and cattle growers in Kastern
Oregon may i.ave had any connectio
v ft: t:.e iovernment'a cureade, it is
fed tr.at r.u ' 'e may possibly occur after .
other action save to compel the opening
of it preserves. As it now stands, some
of the larger stockmen not only inclose
their own holdings, but fence in all the
surrounding grazing land that they can
use, driving away smaller growers and
keeping out settlers.
In the past fiequent stories have been
told of big stockmen's action in threaten
ing new settlers and compelling them to
move away from districts which cattle
men have regarded as their own grazing
territory. Whether the stockmen wil
be willing to abandon their contention
that small operators must keep out after
after the fences are down is a serious
question, but one that will not come up
for some time.
It is not believed that stockmen will
be inconvenienced much this season by
the action of the Government in order
ing down the unlawful fences. As a
rule, it is the policy of the growers to
feed upon the Federal lands, reserving
their own holdings for Winter and Fall
pasturage. If this plan has been
generally followed, the stockmen will
not find themselves in need ot gieater
ranges until next Spring. At that time,
according to Federal officials, they will
have to take their chances on obtaining
grazing privileges on the public domain

Oyster Bay, Aug. 7. To Senators
Ilpyburn, of Idaho, and Millard, of Ne
braska, who called on President Roose
velt today regarding appointments, the
Executive Mated his desire respecting
financial legislation at the approaching
session of Congress. Senator Millard
tggreed with the President as to the
lesirrbility of a more elastic system of
currency than the present one, but he
was quite positive that the Government
itself ought to be behind every dollar of
currency issued, so that no question of
its value ever would be raised. He ex
presBtd the belief that Government
bonds in sufficient quantity now were
outstanding to afford a basis for currency
issues. He said he would favor "the
right kind of a measure" looking to the
greater elasticity of the currency, but
was sure some of the measures recently
proposed would not be acceptable to
ttie country.

Senator Clark's cup represents "Po
mona distributing the kindly fruits of
the earth," and will be given for the
best exhibit of green fruits. The Pabst
cup is offered for the best barley ex

visability of entering the conrest for
these prizes.
Piesident Roosevelt has written a per

When on his Western tour the Presi
dent said in a speech in Ogden :
"Not merely in the interest ot the

of irrigation made the greatest possible
success.

by the Presideut and Secretary Wilson

made to see that the arid-lands portion
of the state is well represented.

Washington, Aug. 7. Senator Gor
man, for the first time since his return
from Europe, talked politics today. In
an interview he chose the tariff question
as his subject and roundly denounced
the present law, which, he said, is an
nually collecting from the earnings of
the people $75,000,000 more than can be
spent, even with the most reckless ex
travagance. A continuance of these
rates, he says, will breed not only ex
tra vagence, but corruption. He added :
"The revision of the tariff should be a
great issue in the Presidential election
In order to win, the Democratic party
must have the confidence of the business
interests of the country. The lack of
confidence ca'used the defeats in I S!
and 1900. To secure that confidence
now there must be an explicit pledge
that in the revision of the tariff it is not
the purpose of the party to wreck in
dustries, many of which were establish
ed under the existing law. The pledge
should be similar to the onejupon which
the Democratic party elected its ticket
in 1884.
"With a platform which will satisfy
the substantial interests ol the country,
I belieye we can carry enough Northern
and Western states to elect our candidate.
