Cleaner Quality.
Pendleton—The roving portion of the
Indians on the reservation or those
who wintered on the Columbia, is al­
ready stirring abroad, and making in
some eases for the foothills. The sum­
mering season of the small bands of no­
mads begins early in April. There are
many Indians scattered over the country
who do not cultivate the adv:r.,“ges of
the reservation.
The more industrious and less proud
of these red men make money off wool
at this season. With a packhorse or
two, they wander around the the sheep
districts, and while the buck gets the
living by hunting and fishing, the
squaw pulls or picks up wool wherever
she can find it. Bits of fleeces pulled
off wool wagons, when the latter start
running, or even wool from sheep
which have died on the range all go to
make up the sackfulls, which are after­
ward packed to town for sale. Indians
will carry loads like this 100 or 150
miles for eight cents a pound.
The migration of the reservation In­
dian does not take place until May,
when hundreds of them go to the moun­
tains for the summer to spend the seas­
on hunting and fishing. As summer
progresses, he pushes farther and farth­
er into the hills, not to come back to
the reservation until the early snows of
autumn drive him back.
LOOUER LEASES NECANICUM.
Clatsop County Court Orest« Carefully
Guarded Privilege.
Astoria—The county court has grant­
ed the petition of C. C. Clarke, the
Seaside logger, to lease the portion of
the Necanicum river that runs through
section 28, township 6 north, range 10
west. The lease is for a period of five
years and gives the lessee the right to
improve the river channel, to erect and
construct such dams, booms, and make
such other improvements as may be
necessary fcr the purpose of making the
stream a public highway for floating
logs, timber and lumber.
He is also given the right to collect
tolls for the rafting, floating and boom­
ing of logs, timber or lumber at the
rate of 30 cents per thousand feet.
Under the terms of the lease the lessee
is to secure the necessary right-of-way
from owners of property along the
course of the stream, and he gives a
oond in the sum of $2,000 to hold the
county of Clatsop harmless of any and
all damages occasioned to any person
or to proprety by the use of the stream
for floating logs. The county reserves
the right to annul the lease without
notice, should any of its provisions be
violated.

I a Grande—The sheepmen of Eastern
Oregon say that the latr spring, which
is 30 days behind time, will have a
splendid effect upon all of the flocks of
Eastern Oregon, and the great supply
of water now pouring down the hills on
every side will insure good pasturage
way into the summer, and yearlings
this summer will be stionger and fatter
and bring better prices than ever before.
Lambing is now at its height, and
the increase in the flocks promises to
be very large. Wool this year will be
of much finer quality and cleaner than
last year because the sheep will not
have to run in dust so long before
shearing time, which in this part of
Eastern Oregon will be about May 25,
and the sheepmen throughout th« coun­
try seem very jubilant.
Wool from last year’scropin Eastern
Oregon has been sold in Philadelphia
“
within the past week for 17 cento, and
this is a good indication that prices
this year will go high.
STOCK LOSSES REDUCED.
Warmer Weather Averted the Dangers
Threatening the Herds.
Pendleton—Stock reports from south­
ern Umatilla and Grant counties show
conditions much improved since the
heavy snowstorm of two weeks ago, and
stock losses, which threatened for a
short time to materially thin out tho
herds, have been to a great degree
averted. In valleys, where it waB pos­
sible, range stock waB gotten out to
where grass could be found, while
enough feed was on hand for domestic
cattle.
In valleys where stock could not be
gotten out to better locations, cattle
and sheep went ou short rations for
some time, but escaped after nominal
loss, as warmer weather came. Nights
were not severe after the storm, a con­
dition which also greatly helped. Sev­
eral thousand head of sheep and cattle
perished, but the loss was probably not
over one or two per cent above nominal.
Stock Escaped Severe Season.
Athena—Footbill stockmen east and
southeast of here have not sustained
nearly as severe stock losses as was
feared three weeks ago, when a sudden
heavy snowfall with severe weather
when teed was shout ran out, caused
apprehension that hundreds of good
cattle would be lost. Snow is now out
of the lower hills sufficiently to allow
grazing, and no more will probably die.
As it was, it is said 200 or 300 head,
principally old cattle or those in poorer
condition, will cover the loss in the
mountain section.
Precedent Against Intervention tar Wl
less Telegraph Company.
Washington, April 19.—One of th«
principal wireless telegraph companies
has filed at the state department an
energetic protest against the decree of
Admiral Alexieff that newspaper cor­
respondents in the Far East during the
war shall be treated as spies. The
state department lias taken the protect
under consideration, but following the
almost unbroken practice it probably
will decline to take any action on •
hypothetical care. If an American cit­
izen is arrested by the Russian officials
the state department immediately will
lay down a line of policy to meet thio
novel departure in international law.
It ie realized' that newspaper corres­
pondents using wireless telegraphy in
the neighborhood of naval operations
might unwittingly give information of
great value to the enemy, whoee ves­
sels, being also equipped with wireless
telegrahy, might readily take np mes­
sages sent to a shore station.
The state department is loath to es­
tablish a precedent by protest that
might hereafter embarrass our own
naval commadners.
The matter is
said by a distinguished military officer
here to emphasize the pressing need for
an international agreement fixing the
exact status of newspaper correspond­
ents in case of war.

Oregon Delegation Desires *O<
Board Be Named at Once.
Fair
Wasbinton, April 19.—Copies of the
Lewie and Clark exposition bill, as it
was signed by the president, were de­
livered from the printing office today
and distributed among the various gov­
ernment departments.
The Oregon
eenators, early this week, expect to see
cabinet officials and urge the early ap­
pointment of the government board
which is to have supervision of the gov­
ernment exhibit. ’ Until this board is
appointed and makes an estimate of the
amount of space that will be needed for
the government exhibits and for exhib­
its from Alaska, the Philippines, Ha­
waii and the Orient, the supervising
architect will be unable to proceed with
he preparation of plana for buildings.
For this reason, it is desired that the
board shall be named without delay.
The senators also expect to see the
president and lay before him the list of
countries which it is desired shall be in
vited by this government, through the
state department, to participate in the
exposition.
When this is accomp­
lished, there is nothing left for the
Oregon delegation to do in furtherance
of the exposition so far as the govern­
ment is concerned.
Report From Penitentiary.
Superintendent James, of the peni­
tentiary, has filed his report with the
secretary of state covering the quarter
ending March 31. The principal fea­
ture of the report is the financial state­
ment of the institution, which shows
that the total expenses amount to $20,-
305.87. Of this amuont, $1,925.19 is
deducted from the betterment fund.
There were 314 convicts in the prison
at the close of the quarter, against 311
at the close of the last quarter.

DON’T KILL LAWS.
China's Action on T «sty Will Have
No Effect on Them.
Washington, April 19.—Attorvney
General Knox has handed to the presi­
dent his opinion regarding the validity '
of the Chinese exclusion law. While
the opinion has not been made public,
it is known the attorney genera) holds
in effect that the denunciation of the
treaty by China does not operate to nul­
lify the existing laws, and that the ex­
clusion can be enforced as rigidly here­
after as under the treaty.
In its effect the exclusion law is more
drastic than the treaty. While the
treaty is in force, the points of differ­
ence between the law and treaty are de­
cided in cacordance with the terms of
the latter. It is the hope of the Chi­
nese government that a new treaty will
be negotiated which will prove more
favorable to Chinese immigrants that
is the present treaty. Indeed, such a
treaty ie now being considered.
