AS IT STANDS. A Letter From the Secretary of the In terior. There are many lovers and devo tees of the rod and reel in thena who are very much discommoded in the pursuit of their favorite sport, by being prohibited from fishing in the Umatilla river on the reservatlan conceded to b one of the finest trout streams in Oregon. v" ' ' There are a . number of fishing cranks in this city who have writ ten Agent Harper for permits grant ing them permission to fish and hunt on the reservation, and he has referred them to the Secretary of Interior. But from the follow ing it would appear useless to do 'so. M. S.Hanckel, government guag eratthe Weston distillery,' wrote agent Harper for a permit, and the agent forwarded Mr. Hanckel's re quest on to the Secretary of Inter ior at Washington. The Secretary in answering the agent says: "In reply you will inform Mr. Ha.ckle that this office cannot grant him the desired permission, for the reason that hunting in the Indian country is prohibited by sec. 2137 of the Revised Statutes," etc. While fishing is not mentioned in the above extract from the Sec retary's reply, it is generally con ceded that if hunting was prohib ited in Indian country, fishing is also.. . ,U i 'L w ALARMING SITUATION. Squirrles Devouring Hundred of Acres of Grain, says Mr. Killlan. John L. Killian, of Vansycle stated to the East Oregonian re porter Sunday that the squirrel problem has become one of grave moment to the farmers of Umatilla county. Mr. Killian says that one who has not traveled over the fields and observed the myrids ot ground squirrels which are literally eating the crop of the country, or of many parts of it, has not an adequate idea of the amount of damage be ing done. Says Mr. Killian: . '." " "The situation is desperate in deed.' I would hesitate to sound such a note of alarm, but, under the circumstances, it is the duty of every one who knows the fact to speak, arid speak emphatically. Imagine the situation the worst you can, and you will not form an exaggerated idea of the havoc be ing played in our wheat fields. I believe that I am in a position to know, and I have no fear of over stating the facts. "The squirrels travel in enorm ous colonies and make clean sweeps as they pass along. I would not give three coppers for a piece of wheat they have worked in for a day or two. "Some of our fatmers are putting forth every effort to stamp them out, but owing to the fact that many show no disposition to resist the ravages of the pests and that a 'large area has been deserted by farmers, their efforts are practical ly unavailing. Louis Anderson, one of the heaviest wheat growers in the county, is working early and late and making a noble effort to save his crop, but they are defying his attempts and fairly devouring his broad acreage of grain. I have done my best to chock them, but am compelled to see my efforts come to naught. "I want to say to the business public of Pendleton and other coun ty town, that immediate action TiiUBt be taken. Delay means ruin to crop prospects in ranny parts of the county. . I am inclined to fav or the county court offering a boun ty for squirrels and setting a lot of people to work of exterminating the animals. The bounty, I be lieve, will be more effectual than the purchase and distribution by the county of squirrel poison, though it might be well for the county court to furnish the poison and hire roliablo men to scatter it and do the poisoning themselves. If free poison is offered, there ml be dozens of persons who will neg lect to put it out. "The effort must be kept up un til there is no trace of the army of squirrels in the country. Last February, I had cleaned them out. Today, in the same places are le gions of them, and they are conquer ing legions, too, which are threat ening defeat and financial disaster to many hard working farmers who are powerless unless united action be taken." , JURORS FOR JUNE COURT, Guy and Lee, French Have Forfeited Their Bonds.
