Wuhington Senator Fulton bss re ceived many letters ot complaint from stockmen of Oregon, who express dis satisfaction with the manner in which the forest service is managing the sum mer range in forest reserves. The sheepmen ot Umatilla county feel that they have been unfairly treated in the distribution ot range in the Wenaha re serve, and the sheep and cattlemen whose stork is permitted to grate in the Cascade reserve feet that they are paying too mucb tor the privilege. 80 far as the Cascade reserve is concerned, the sheepmen object to paying 6 cents a head tor the grating privilege when sheep are permitted in other reserves at 4 and 5 cents each. The forest service explains that the grating season in the Cascade reserve is longer than in the reserves where the fee is smaller. Sj far as the Wenaha reserve is concerned, the range has been apportioned for the coming sea son. and it is tw late to bring about a readjustment. To ascertain all the facta, with the vie to laying the mat ter before the forest service in its true light, Mr. Fulton has requested the stockman of Oregon to furnish him with accurate data, that he may adjust these matters beforo another grating season opens. The Dalles to Portage. Ths Dalles A company of local cap italists, under the name of the Colum bia Transportation company, has bought the steamer George W.Simoaa from the D.. P. & B. N. Co. It will be operated between Cascade Locks and the lower terminus ot the stats portage toad. The boat will leave Cascade Locks at 6 o'clock in the morning and reach The Dalles at 10, making all way landings. It will lie here an hour, then run to the lower terminus of the portage, and returning will leave fcr Cascade Locks at 2 o'clock. It is the purpose of the company in buying and operating the boat to afford people along the Columbia opportunity to make The Dalles their trading point. Many Buy Wallowa Tlmber Wallow a Locators have been doing much business the past three months on account of a wild rush by local men and outsiders to secure claims in the pine, fir and tamarack forests of Wal lowa county. Sections which sold at $1.25 an acre were bought first, and only those claims remain which are in the 12.50 sections. There are but a few more claims open for location, and it is expected the locating season will be closed within 30 days. Capitalists are baying much of this timber, and from individual holders claims pur chased for lees than $500 are selling at from $1,000 to $1,600 each. These carry from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 feet to the quarter section. Enterprise Still Capital. Wallowa The Wallowa county com missioners, at their last meeting, ac cepted the offer of F. D. McCully, L Knapper and Aaron Wade, to build a wooden structure in Enterprise large enough to meet the county's require ments for a courthouse, and to l3ase the same to the county for five years at an annual rental of $650. The building is to be completed by August 1. It will be of wood, but compara tively safe, as it will be equipped with a fireproof vault. The board thus settled farther controversy for five years regarding the permanent loca tion of the county seat. . Fight for a County Seat. Canyon City The fight for the coun ty seat now being waged between Can yon City, the present capital, and Prairie City, long aspirant for the honor, is waxing red hot. The laws of Oregon provide that a vote must be ordered by the county court if a peti tion, signed by not less than three fifths of the registered voters, is pre sented. The promoters of the removal have organized an improvement asso ciation, and among other things have secured subscriptions amounting to $20,000 for a new courthouse. Lane Fruit is Unharmed. Eugene Dr H. F. McCormick, Lane county fruit inspector, says it is his opinion that the freezing weather of the past few days has done no material damige to the fruit in this vicinity. Each thaw has been accompanied by cloudy weather. Had the sun shone warm and bright each morning the crop would have been ruined. Hop Sale at Woodburn. Aurora Ed Herron, the hopbuyer, this week bought the Joe Kennedy hop crop of 72 bales at Woodburn, paying better than 9 cents. The hops were shipped direct to London. M. H.Gil bertson, DIbman Bros.' agent here, went to North Yakima a few days ago to look after several big lots of hops there. CREATED AT LAST. President Sets Aside Blue Mountains for Timber Purposes. Washington President Roosevelt, on recommendation of the Jo rest service, has signed a proclamation creating ths Blue mountain forest reserve in Eastern Oregon, to embrace 2,627,270 acres. The reserve as created follows ths gen eral lines of the temporary withdrawal made three years ago, with ths excep tion ot 200,000 acres in the valley of ths Silvies river, which has been elim inated because ot the agricultural na ture ot .ths land. Around ths edge of the withdrawal small tracts ot agricul tura. and school land have been elim inated and the boundaries are so drawn as to exclude all land lying along the border which has passed into private ownership under any pubiie land laws. Ths original Blue imuntain with drawal embraced more than 3,000,000 acres. About 500,000 acres have been left out, so as to make ths reserve a compact body of for land. Long Winter in Wallowa. Wallowa Snow covers the enure Wallowa valley and county, varying in depth from five inches on the Imnaha and Grand Ronde river bottoms, to 17 inches on the foothills ot ths Joseph mountains. ' Stockmen ars somewhat anxious concerning feed. The unusual long season will necessitate using much more bay than is customary in average winters. Though this is a hay produc ing county, and though great crops ot hay were put away last season, and much old hay was left over, it is ex pected that there will he no surplus. Columbia County Breaks Record. 8alem Columbia county breaks the record in the matter ot payment of state taxes this year. State Treasurer Moore received a draft last week for $6,380, the amount ot general state and school tax, and $265, ths amount due for the support of the Agricultural college, from Columbia county, for the year 1906. Only half of this amount was due. The rest n. ed not have been paid until December 31. Luckiamute Mohair Pool. Independence The Luckiamute mo hair pool has been organised at Arlie and has ths following officers: Presi dent, A. C. Staats; secretary, Maurice Fowle; I. M. Simpson, A. C.

It is prob able 15 more names are to be added to the membership soon. Cattle Bring Higher Price.

CANNOT EXPEL SMOOT. Two-Thirds Majority of Ssnate Is Rs quirsd, and is Impossible. Washington, March 23. It seems certain, in thelight cl recent develop ments, that ths campaign against Sen ator Reed Smoot, of Utah, will fail. Mr. Smoot's enemies have been hoping to oust him by a majority vote of the senate, but senators who have given at tention to his case find that ths consti tution stipulates that no senator shall be deprived of his seat except by a two thirds vote of the senste. tT. The anti-Stnoot senators have been taking the position that the protests were filed against Mr. Smoot before be took his seat, and, inasmuch as be was seated under protest, the msjority vote can be applied, since it takes only a majority to exclude a senator-elect. But this view is not generally concur red in by senators. , "Mr. Smoot was seated, and, having been permitted to take his seat, the only way to get: him out is to expel him, and this requires a two-thirds vote. It seems absolutely certain that two thirds of the senate is not in favor of unseating the Mormon senator, prob ably not a majority, and for this reason it is believed the much discussed case will fall flat. Jowa May Oust Standard. Das Moines, March 23. The house, by a vote of 48 to 12, today passed the anti-discrimination bill, which is in tended to oust the Standard Oil. from Iowa or compel a revision of its busi ness methods. The bill prohibits dis criminating rates for oil and is pattern ed after the Missouri law. It provides a fine of $5,000 and imprisonment for violation. Representative Cummings, the author, in presenting the bill, as serted that the Standard Oil company bad made a price of 4 cents a gallon for oil in his home town recently, in order to drive out competition. Italianlsland'Quaking. New York, March 23. A cable dis patch to the Herald from Palermo says : There have been 21 earthquak shocks on the island of Ustica during tbe last three days. The population lives in constant terror. A great valley has been formed in tbe center of the island and all the houses have been demol isbed. The shocks were vertical, not undulatory, and were accompanied by loud subterranean rumblings. The last hocks, which occured yesterday, fin lshed the work of destruction. Panic seized upon the 2,000 inhabitants. New Drydock for Pueet Sound.
