The Indian Entertainment.

The Puyllup Iudian band gave q
very creditable entertainment in the
opera house last evening, and 1t is
truly to be regretted that no larger
crowd was present to hear them.
Some of the boys showed consider
able talent, and the music by this
band is really creditable. The follow
ing program was rendered: Essay
by Geo William Smith entitled
"Civilization and Christianity"
This was very sound and logical
essay and Mr.. Smith pronounced it
very nicely. Song; "Jesus Lover of
my Soup by quartette, in natural
tongue: Dialogue by Chas. Damer
and VIM. Martin, entitled (which
road" Recitation by Chas. Par
ment, entitled "Indians are flesh
and bone" Here the Indian enter
tainment began with Indian song
while on their way to war, followed
by an illustration of going to war
in canoe, after which came the real
war dance, which created consider
able merriment especially for the
boys. The program was intermin-
gled with music by the band.

An old citizen of Memphis, who
died only few years ago, was in
Kentucky in 1928 when General
Jackson was candidate for presi-
dent, and General Jackson in travel
ing, stopped in the city where he
lived. The canvass was at fever
heat. An eccentric Clay man took
special pains in the most emphatic
manner to show his hostility to
General Jackson.
Finally, coming close up to the
General, he, with great emphasis,
said; "Yes sir, 1 want you to un-
derstand that l am not going to
vote for you"
General jackson, rising up and
and looking him full in the eye,
said; "Sir, 1 have given much of
my life to my country, and it was
that you might have this privilege" "

1T IS GROWING.
The Subsidy Advancing - SubsCrip
tiOhs Being Doubled.

The woolen mill subsidy is reach
ing the last point. Yesterday there
was $745 added to the list. The total
this morning was $1S,91O, leaving
but little over $1,000 vet to be
raised.
The citizens begin to realize that
the matter must be concluded at
once and are making their dona-
tions accordingly. There is no
longer any doubt that Salem will
have these mills established here
almost at once, and the lists will be
completed by Saturday.
Mr.. Kay stands ready to start for
London to purchase machinery of
the very latest design, and the work
of constructing the mill will be
commenced very soon.
To-day the soliciting committee
are working as usual, and are meet
ing with the same success. The
amounts now coming in are small,
buS they swell the total perceptibly.

HIS Got a Drink.

A GnIden Wedding.

The many relatives and friends OF
S. S. Whitman and wife Of Mon
mouth met to celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage.
Fifty years ago yesterday Squire
Whitman, a youth Of twenty, and
Eliza beth Davidson, a blushing
damsel of fifteen stood before the
Hymeneal altar to be joined in we'd
locks peaceful repose. To-day he is
hale, robust, rosy-cheeked, and
shows but little signs of the wear Of
time, and she is a mild, pleasant
looking old lady. They were mar
ried in Monmouth, Ills, where they
resided till the spring of 1850, leav-
ing the Missouri river May 8th, and
crossing the plains with OK teams.
They arrived in the valley August
25th of the same year, making a re-
markably quick trip for that time.
Mr.. Whitman lived at Salem few
weeks, then moved on the place
where he still resides. He is one of
the founders of Christian College
(now the normaD being the most
liberal of the contributors to that
institution, giving 200 acres of valu-
able land. They are both hard
workers, she doing her work alone,
and although he keeps men hired to
run the farm, he rises early and does
a great amount of work yet. They
are both of families noted for long
gevitv. His mother died when
ninety-two, and her father
and mother lived together more
than sixty years. This makes the
fifth golden wedding: occurring in
her fathers family.

The quarterly examination for
teachers certificates continues at
the court house. There are fifty
five applicants, and of this number
fortv-two are ladies while the gen.
tlemen answer to the unlucky call
of thireen. The examination em-
braces ten branches, written and
mental arithmetic, reading, writing,
photography, geography, grammar,
physiology, history and theory and
practice. There are ten questions
in each branch, making the number
for each would-be teacher to answer
100. The work of the superintend-
ent may be imagined when it is
considered that he has to look over
and grade these $40 papers of 5000

ed "Alaska-a "Reminiscences ct a
Russian diplomatic im%posture." The
article is interesting to British Colum-
bians, as it gives the history of the
American claim to jurisdiction over
Behring's Sea. Its introduction -
The following quotation from KentS
Commentaries
"The open sea is not capable OF
being possessed SIS private property
The free use of the ocean tor navIga-
ton and fishing is common to all
mankind, and public ~jurists generally
and explicitly deny that the mai"
ocean can ever be appropriated"
This is the law Of nations with re-
gard to the ocean, and it is ncknow-
legged by Americans TO be sound. Yet
their claim 10 sovereignty over The
waters of Behring's Sea is in direct
opposition 10 the decision oftheir own
greatest jurist. But they do this on
The pretence that they bought the right
from Russia. But, according TO Kent,
Russia could not possess the sove-
reignty to any part of the high seas,
and how could she sell to the United
States what neither she, nor any other
nation could own!
In the paper before US we find the
foundation to the claim. tits contain
ed in a ukase issued by the Gar OF
Russia sixty-eight years ago. Here
are TWO of the articles OF that precious
document:
