Clark, who presented the bill providing
for TOWNSHIP organization throughout the
state, proposes an innovation in county
government His hill, which covers thirty
one pages OF typewriter End has los sec
tons altogether, directs that when twenty
FIVE free-holders Of any congressional
township shall petition to the board Of
county commissioners for q township. the
government board shall submit the aues-
ton to the electors OF the township. Town.
ship officers. consisting Of three supervisors.
assessor and clerk, shall be elected, and
provision is made at great length and in
finite detail as 10 the manner in which
township affairs shall be conducted. The
bill is based largely upon the Minnesota
Law. where township government Is .
feature in the political system OF the state.
Supervisors are empowered 70 administer
in affairs which pertain strictly 20 the
township. and upon proper authority from
the electors they may incur small indebted
ness.
All is not harmony in the Whitman
county delegation over the desired location
OF the agricultural college there. The
county is so essentially agricnltnred that
il is considered By the citizens that the es-
tablishment OF the college there win be
made as matter of course, and there is
already much rivalry as 70 the point at
which tina new institution shall be. The
delegation hed unanimously agreed to
present the bill. leaving the question to the
decision Of the commission 70 be appointed
By the governor. bat this did not satisfy
the inhabitants Of Pullman. lively town
in one corner Of the county. and they
cansed another bin to be forwarded surrep-
titiously 10 Olympia and presented TO the
legislature before the delegation could
make most. This bill makes provision

That familiar chestnut. the perennial
memorial TO congress TO indemnify
sufferers from the Indian wars of
1854 was reviewed in the Senate
today. Tho memorial now presented
recites at length the particulars Of
the old treaty between the government and
the Yakima, Walla Waila, Cayuse and
Umatilla Indians IN 1850; that, relying
upon the blessed assuranceo Of this compact,
smany settlers were induced 70 take mp
homes in Eastern Washington. and there.

pastoral pursuits, the Indians reyolted
against the treaty and they were ordered
By Indian Agent olney 10 leave
the country. which they did. ieav-
ing their cattle aud farms also. Now
they ask congress 10 appoint commission
TO investigate the claims and make an
awaTd in accordance with the findings.
Congress has been prayed too many times
before for this same adjustment Of equit-
able claims, and has moved with It's accsis-
toned siowness. Though some Of the
claims have been allowed, il Is doubtful If
congress car, he induced 70 go any faster
