How an Indian Doctor was Killed

Charles Williams Tom Alexis, Charles
Seatit and Big Bill, Indians from Swinomsh
Reservation, i'll the State of Washington,
have been brought to Seattle, and lodged in
jail charged with the murder of Big Bob
Sattoo, an Indian. 1t appears that Big Bob
was prominent member OF the tribe, and
claimed to be a ''tenanimOuS" man. which
translated from the Chinook means an In
dian doctor. By Indian superstition a
''tenanimous" man is held responsible if any
general calamity befalls the tribe Things
had not been going we'll with the Swinomish
Indians for some time. There was much
sickness among them, and Big Bob was re-
ing of the tribe four Indians We're appointed
to execute him
The Indian Agent at the reservation was
notified that Big Bob was about to be sacri-
feed, but did not believe it, and did nothing
Big Bob was waylaid by four assassins, who
seized him, held him, and cut his throat
from ear to ear. The red men were arrested
and bound over for murder by the Justice of
the Peace of Lacopner. They were brought
to Seattle for safe keeping.

Facts About Seeds.

Many Seedsmen assert that the stocks
they offer are simply nfallble-this is
mischlevous. 1t is true that nearly all
OF the popular seeds of the day are ex-
cellent under favorable conditions. 1t
is equally true. however, that with but
few exceptions, the best of them are of.
ten used Ill localities TO which they are
IN no degree adapted. The Experiment
otatlons are now doing much to deter
mine the habits and characteristics of
commercial seeds and plants. A promi-
nent institution of this kind is the "Sta-
ton" under the supervision of the Ster-
ing Syrup Works, at Sterling, Kansas.
SO extended, systematic and faithful
are the tests made at these grounds that
reports OF all the more important work
Will be published from time to time by
the National Government. Referring
to seed tests of the past season the "Sta-
tion" writes the Lewiston Seed Comma
ny, Lewiston, Idaho:-"You kindly
sent us trial packages of Vegetable
Seeds last spring. We planted them
with seeds received from Eastern grow
ers and were pleased with the "West-
lest" seeds. In growing plants two
things seem to be entirely proven. The
hrst Is that specialists, who grow seeds
only, who improve the plants by selec.
ton and by hybridizing and by import
ing new kinds, who make careful STU
dy OF the plants, produce very much
better seeds than those who grow the
plants and save the seeds for their own
use. Expert seedsmen in the last few
years have improved. plants more than
inexpert plant growers had previously
done in hundred years. The second
point is that many plants when remov-
ed to new conditions of soil and climate
require to be acclimated and it takes
some seasons to do this. Seeds grown
on the Gulf coast where rainfall is ex-
cessive and where growing seasons are
long and warm, and seeds grown in the
humid air of the seaboard States where
there are frequent rains and fogs and
mists and dews, do not at tirst succeed
well when suddenly transplanted to the
dry air of the interior of this great con-
tinent.
"rhe man who buys seeds from relia-
bic and skilled seedsmen, who grow the
seeds under conditions of soil and eli.
mate which are not essentially different
from his conditions of soil and climate.
will produce better plants and receive
greater reward for his trouble tha n one
who is each year beginning anew to ac-
climate seeds which have been grown
under very different conditions. With
these points in view we regard the
"West.Test" Seeds. grown in the inter-
ior of the continent by experienced
seed growers, as much the more useful
seeds for those living in the dry climate
of the Western States.
Yours truly,
