Superintendent Allen, of the Wallowa salmon hatchery, was in La Grande recently, and stated that the hatchery released a few days ago 3,000,000 fry and about the same amount ' will be ready to be released within a short time. Operations at the Wallowa hatchery so far are considered satisfac tory. Salmon have commenced jumping in the Grand Bonrle river at Oro Dell, a mile above La Grande. The salmon, which in the early history of the valley came up tbe river in abundance, have for tbe past number of years almost entirely disappeared. It is now hoped that the hatchery will be tbe means of restocking the river. Improve Orchard Tract. La Grande. The Red Apple Orchard Company, which owns a large tract about three miles north of town in the foothills, is planning extensive improve ments. About seventy-five acres will be cleared and the ground put in con dition for the planting of apples. There is already a large area of growing trees, including fifteen acres of 12-year-old ap ple trees and forty-five acres of 2-year-old trees. There are five or six springs located on this tract, and it is the in tention of the company to enlarge some of them, forming a lake, which will be stocked with fish. Scouring Mills Sesame.

There are 4,500 trees of three varieties, including 2,500 Borne Beau ties, 1,000 Ganos and 1,000 York Im perials. The balasce of the tract, about sixty acres, was planted in potatoes. Expect Heavy Fruit Crop. La Grande. Grande Bonde growers report the fruit prospects flattering for this season. It is expected that the crop will be twice as large as any previous year, and that there will be at least 500 carloads shipped from this valley. The apple and cherry yielde will bo very large. , 8IIEEFMEN FROTEST. Oregon Men Not Satisfied With Allot ment of Wenasa Reserve, rendleton.Shcepmen, of Umatilla county have mado vigorous protest against the action of forest reserve ofti cials at Walla Walla in standing by the atlotment recently made of the range in Nenana, reserve. A remonstrance from Umatilla county has been filed with D. B. Shelter, forest reserve superin tendent at Walla Walla. Facts and figures sre given In tun- port of the contention of Oregon stock men, inese in su balance are as fol lows: Of the total land in the reserve, 00,000 acres, wore than halt lies in Oregon. Only 33,357 Oregon sheep wcrsl atiuuuea to mo reserve, wnerm ij,wu w asiuogton t&eep were allowed. To add insult to injury, 63.169 of the Washing ton sheep were allotted to range in this state. No Oregon sheep were allotted range in Washington". In scaling the number to be allowed in the reserve the Oregon men were cut down 50 per cent, while the Washington men were allowed practically all they assed. It ia held by the Oregon stockmen that forest reserve rules were violated by the manner in which the reserve wst allotted. The rules specifically provide that in allotment of range in reserve, stockmen of the state in which the re serve is located shall be given prefer ence. Accompanying the general remon strance were affidavits from twenty sheepmen of this county, setting forth claims to land in the reserve allotted to Washington men. JOHN DAT PROSPERS. Feople Flocking to That Section from All Farts of Northwest. Baker City. Many people front ever the Northwest sre flocking through Bak er City on their way into the John Day country to take up timber claims. A lew days ago n party of -Idaho people went to Sumpter en route to the timber bolt, and another party went from this place. tor the past tbree months1 timber seekers have come from Western Ore gon, Washington and Idaho, and mneh valuable timber land has been located. Last week two parties, one of eight and one of five people, went out. These were Idaho people, wbo were evidently satisfied with their locations, as the last party which passed through here was composed of friends of the former company. All are from Genesee, Idaho. July Fourth at Chautauqua. Oregon City At a meeting here of the board of directors of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association it was decided to hold suitable exercises at Gladstone Park, July 4 next, in cele bration of Independence Day.

Elect or Russian People Assemble In Open Session. 8t. Fetersbnrg, May 11. Without a single hitch ami with only a minor in cident to mar the memorable day, the Russian parliament was Inaugurated yesterday. The emperor's message in reality was lees throne pecb. than a greeting, and required onlv three min ute (or its delivery. Emperor Nicho las read slowly. Tbe admirable and even cordial tone of the soverelgu In re newing bis pledge and asking the co operation of parliament for the regen eration of the country was only nega tively satisfactory. Courtiers and spectators other than members ot the national parliament led the cheering, bat the members were ominously silent. What rankled most was tbe failure of the emperor to men tioa amnesty, and later, when the members assembled in the Tanride pal- see, away from the spell ot the throne room, many of them were with diffi culty restrained from precipitating matters br offering resolutions on the subject. The Constitutional Democra tic leaders, however, who dominated everything, were anxious not to weaken the reply which the lower bouse will prepare to the speech from the throne, in which issues with the crown will be joined, and succeeded in staving off premature action. By the irony ot fate, Ivan Fetrunke- vitch, whose first mention of the word constitution IS yeara ago was dismissed by Emperor Nicholas II as "a foolish dream," today stood In the front rank of the members of the representative chamber, while Emperor Nicholas put bis official seal upon the Russian par liament. GIVES MANY BRIBES Inner Workings of Standard Oil Made Public by Former Employe. Chicago, May 11. Corruption ot railroad employee and agents of Inde pendent oij companies, dishonest meth ods ot procuring land leases, the giving ot short measure, the. selling of three different kinds of oil out of the same tank and misrepresentations as to the quality of oil sold, were charged againt the Standardl Oil company at today's hearing before the Interstate Commerce commission. Incidentally, ' it was charged that the Frisco road gives a rate of 2 cents a hundred pounds to the 8tandard Oil company when it charges competitors of that corporation 10 times as much for the same haul. The inqnlry was held under an order ot congress and this session held here today was along the same lines as that held some time ago in Kama Citv, Tbe principal witnesses today were K. M. Wilboit, of Bpringfleld, Mo., form erly for ten years agent of the Standard Oil company at Topeka. bnt now an in dependent operator; II. C. Detan, of Fremont, O.; E. P. Ripley, president ot the Atchison, Topeka and Banta Fe road, and M. Maxon, a former agent of the Standard Oil in Illinois. PUT OVER HEAD OF HART. China Appbints New Officials to Man age Customs Service. Pekin, May 11. An imperial edict which may radically affect the status of Sir P.obert Hart, director general of the Chinese customs and tbe customs estab lishment, was published today, as fol lows: "Tieh Liang, president of the board of revenue, is hereby appointed super intendent of customs affairs. Tong 8hao, junior vice president of the For eign board, is appointed associate min ister of Customs affairs. All Chinese and foreigners employed in the various customs are placed under their control." Both these offices are new creations in the customs service. Hitherto the customs have been nominally under the direction of the Foreign board, but practically Sir Robert Hart has exer cised absolute control. The diplomats here are unwilling to comment on the edict until its inten tions and full force are apparent. If it means a step toward active Chinese management of the customs, tbe foreign governmenst are expected to resist it. London Companies' Instructions. London, May 11. At a meeting to day of managers of insurance companies here involved in the Ban Francisco dis aster, it was voted to telegraph the fol lowing instructions to tbe companels' representatives at Han Francisco: "We desire a committee to act with Ameri can companies in adjusting losses in strict conformity with each company's separate policy conditions, acting on legal and expert advice, referring home disputed cases which involve import ant principles and doubtful to legal ability."
