Washington County.
Personally came before me J. M.
Basket, a Justice Of the Peace in and
for said county, Adam Metcalf, well
known to Inc to be a respectable per-
son and entitled TO credit, who makes
affidavit that he was present with Betsy
Bradford, in the office of Wilford H.
Smith, about the latter part of June,
last, and heard him tell her that the
note she held against him was for her
pension money he had borrowed, and
to take good care Of 1t aud not let IL
get lost or destroyed, and that when
ever shee needed any money or rations
ON 1t to always bring 1t to town with
her. lie then explained to her, in my
presence, that the interest on her money
would amount to one hundred dollars q
year, and ought to be enough to take
care of her, That he is Satisfied that
Betsy understood the transaction and
showed nor expressed no dissatisfac-
tion. So She left an order with
him to send her bill Of goods, and
said she would get her supplies from
him instead of taking them up OH her
bounty money, held by the plantation
agent. Afiiant further states that he
lives within half mile Of said Betsy
and has known her for more than
twenty years, and that he Is able to
read and write.

enabling act for the admission Of Da-
kota the privilege of determining

on Territories, has been formulating
the necessary amendments to the bill

visions conform to the proposed
changes, with some change in the time
for holding the election for delegates
to the constitutional convention.
Springer has prepared an amendment
providing that elections in the four

Meaning of Indian Names.

Since the Outlook has sojourned ir
the Okanogan region it has, in its in
tercourse with the native Americans
learned something of various Indian
names applied to streams, localities
etc.
The scholars" of Chief Moses tribe
say that "Okanikane"-now anglo
sized into Okanogan-is an Indian
name, meaning rendezvous" and
was applied to the Okanogan lake
the source of the river given the same
name-where the Indians of the vari-
GUS tribes in Washington Territory,
British Columbia and even as far
north as Alaska, assembled in pot
LATCH" and secure their supply of fish
and game, custom they still con-
tinue.
The name "Sooyos." applied to q
lake in that region, means "narrows." I"
The etymology of this word has been
corrupted into 40 Soyoos," which de-
stroys its beauty. This lake is one Of
finest fishing places in the Territory.
The correct Indian name Of "Con-
conully" is "Sklow Ouliman," which
means "money hole," thus given by
the Indians because of the abundant
beaver found in that locality, in early
times, the skins of which brought
them much money. But the same
locality-the Conconully or Okanogan
country-has proved to be a money
hole to the white race in the way of
rich gold and silver mines found there.
yakima" is an Indian name,
meaning "great socatash garden"
and also applied to tribe Of Indians
thus named.
Klickitat" is an Indian name,
meaning "cove of salmon" it also be-
ing applied to a tribe of Indians in
habiting the eastern part of the Terri
tory along the Columbia river.
And thus it was with all the streams,
localities and objects in the Territory
bearing Indian names. They are tri-
bal designations, including Skagit,
Snohomish, Spokane, Walla Walla,
etc., which have a definite meaning,
and are euphonious when properly
nrnnnnnnad

The Exact Situation.

Editorial in the London Cour1
Journal: "The fall of the Govern.
ment in America was most unexpect.
ed. President Cleveland had been
very popular with his Cabinet, and
although he had some trouble with
the Senate in reference to the confirm.
alton of Governors appointed for the
different States, no apprehensions
were felt. The President received his
defeat bravely. He was sitting in his
library when Vice President Barnum
the great showman-entered and
said: I have serious news to COM
municate, sir. A vote in the House
on the wool question has resulted in q
defeat of the Government Mr.. Cleve-
land, remarking that it could not be
helped, turned to his books. Mr..
Harris who has been selected to take
Mr.. Cleveland's place, has, until re-
Gently, been an obscure man, cult
vating small farm in indianapolis.
He was first brought into notice by a
speech which he made at an Agricul-
tural Convention. He is of rather
humble origin. His father kept a
small fur shop on hack street in the
town of Missouri, Ill. He made .
specially of raccoon skins and, though
he amassed several thousand pounds,
insisted upon living in log cabin.
President Harris has not yet de-
cided on a line of policy, but it is though
he will grant to Dakota, which is now
a county, the right of Statehood. As
a county Dakota has enjoyed no vote,
but as State will have one vote in
the Senate. Mr.. Harris declares that
he will devote the remainder of his
life to politics and has disposed Of his
large ranch in Chicago.
"Mrs. Cleveland takes her defeat
with philosophical fortitude. She
says she shall adjure society and
henceforth devote herself to the rear
ing Of her grandchildren, Lamont and
Garland, two bright little girls, the
daughters of Kentucky Carlisle who,
while Mrs. Cleveland was the widow
Frances, married. her daughter Full

Defeated Presidential Candidates.
Jas. Parton in the January Forum.

Henry Clay had one disqualification
that neutralized all the possibilities OF
good which he possessed. For many
of the best years of his life his brain
was always suffuscd, like Bismarck's,
with the alcoholic poison. The his
tory OF parties, from Alexander the
Greats time to this, will disclose to
any investigator that, Of all known
disqualificatiens for offices OF trust
and difficulty, this is the most entirely
fatal, because it disturbs the judg-
ment while inflaming all the passions
and propensities which constitute the
task of the judgment. Nine-tenths Of
a Presidents fitness is judgment.
James G. Birney, of Kentucky, the
candidate of the Abolitionists in 1910
and 1874, was veritable king of men,
a person of the highest type of charac-
ter known among us. His life was a
series of the noblest actions, performed
for the noblest reasons. He was
brave, steadfast, and gentle, of gra-
cious and dignified presence, asking
nothing from his countrymen except
TO turn them from what he conceived
to be their errors. In 1910 he received
1859 votes; in 1874, 1868 rotes.
No patriotic son of Kentucky could do
better service to his countrymen
than to make this admirable man
familiarly known to them.
Horace Greeley bore his character
in his facc-half baby, half philoso-
pher. The sweetest child that ever
looked into its mothers eyes had not
a more benevolent expression than
his countenance habitually wore. The
worst portrait does not quite obliterate
it; the best renders it imperiectly.
the politician who said, "a man who
would hurt Horace Greeley would
strike his own MOTHER" roughly ex-
pressed the feeling which the childlike
part of his face often excited. His
voice, too, was the pipe of a child.
But above the eyes there was such a
noble dome of head that a Greek sculp-
tor would have been glad to take it for
the model OF benevolent wisdom. His
demeanor showed similar contrasts.
From that baby face what torrents
of bad words would come, with no
more malice behind them than there
is behind child's vehement crying
when some one has broken Its toy.

An exchange notes the following
sensible views of the Territory and its
advantages for the industrious citizen !:
The advantages which Washington
Territory offers are an unusually
productive soil, a reliable climate, and
great variety of material and natur-
al advantages for business. Variety
of industry, facilitates exchange, makes
money livelier, and with faithful
work and good govern ment) promotes
comfort and prosperity. Industrious
people can make living with certain
ty and comparative ease. So sure is
prosperous future to Washington
Territory that settlers devote the en-
ergies more to business than to "boom-
ing" Blooms" are generally started
by those who would like to get out OF
a bad bargain by getting some one else.
into it.
To those looking this way for homes
we have, in conclusion, only this to
say: Each section of the Territory
has advantages. The question for the
settler is, which has the advantages
best suited to him. For general farm
ing, fruit and stock-raising, there is
no better section than Eastern
Washington; not that it has hand
somer, or more rapidly growing towns,
nor that it offers better opportunities
to the laboring man. 1t will pay
settlers who can do SO to stop off at
Spokane and learn all they can of
Eastern Washington. Besides the
real estate dealers here, a number of
whom have an extensive personal ac-
quaintance with the Territory, We can
direct you to farmers, business men
and laborers more or less acquainted
with the Territory and whom we have
every reason to regard as reliable.
