with an interview published in the
Kansas City Journal and reproduced
by the Advertiser Miss Kruger
who was teacher here makes sever
al amusing statements in her inter
view. She is not very wrong when
she says:
"There are great many wealthy
natives in the city and also English
and Americans, who came to the ISL
and as missionaries, sold the Bible
and gospel to the natives for land
and afterwards entered into CON-
mercial pursuits and are now very
rich. Everything is a monopoly
there and it's hard for young man
to set up for himself 10 business on
this account. Provisions and mer.
chAudise are extremely high, eggs
are six for quarter, a tiny roll OF
butter costs 80 cents, anything in
the shape OF chicken $l00, and a
turkey from 81 to $5."

TURN UP ALL RIGHT.
Two Anaconda MeD Have a Long
Hunting "trip.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Anaconda, Dec. 1S.--Rudoph Dryvoski,
former employee of the upper works,
left Anaconda for a hunting trip in the
north part of the county last October. He
was to have returned in about two weeks,
but up today nothing was heard of him.
Some of his friends feared his long 81
lence meant that something serious had
happened, While others We're not SO un-
easy, and declared that Dryvoski would
turn up all right. that he was very fond
of hunting, and that he was making a
longer trip than first intended, and was
probably out in the mountains where
game is plentiful. When Dryvoski
went away he was accompanied by a
man named Fred Craig. Neither was
heard from and some We're inclined to
believe that foul play had been commit
ted. G. B. Anderson. of this city, receiv-
ed a letter from Craig this morning, and
another arrived from Helmvile, stating
that both men We're all right and up at
the head of Cottonwood creek, between
Washington gulch and Helmville, still on
their hunting trip. Dryvoski had con-
siderable money with him when he went
away, which strengthened the theory Of
foul play.

KIDNAPPED A BOY.

Ransom.

Portland, Oregon. Dec. 1S.-KiSlnappers
stole .5-year-old John Ditchbur'. son Ct
lawyer John Ditchburn, yesterday, AMI
after an exciting time, in which both
relatives and police participated, the
little boy was located in a farm house
near Linnton, about 10 miles below this
city.
Chester Van Hoy, 16 years old, recent
arrival from Spokane, was arrested lat
er in the day, charged with kidnapp' ng
and was locked up at the police station.
The kidnappers offered to give up the
boy for money, and if no money was
forthcoming they threatened to take him
away on cruise.

Van Hoy called on Mr.. and Mrs. Ditch

"Who are you?" he was asked

sovereign may deal with the inhabitants
of conquered or ceded territory and give
them such laws as it sees fit
Mr.. Griggs gave considerable attention
to the view of Thomas jefferson on the
power of the United States to acquire
territory.
He contended also that "the conceded
power to acquire territory by treaty or
by conquest includes the right to pre-
scribe what terms the United States VIII
agree to in fixing the future status OF Its
inhabitants" and in support of this con-
tention said:
The political status of native Indian
tribes within territory acquired by the
United States treaty has been uniformly
regarded as unaffected by the cession. A
long line of special treaties with sucn
tribes and numerous acts of legislation
by congress on the subject of Indian ana
Indian rights show that these people
have always been regarded as quasi
foreign"
Mr.. Griggs laid it down as fact that
administrative constructive, congress
sional action and judicial precedent all
affirm that under our revenue laws every
port in ceded country is to be regarded
as foreign one until such laws are ex-
pressly extended by congress to the new
possessions" and he gave very COM
plete citations of proceedings under these
heads in support of his contention.
Mr.. Griggs then went at length into the
claim that the constitutional clau'e which
provides that duties, imports and excis-
es shall be uniform throughout the Unit
ed States" prohibits imposition of duties
in the cases before the court. THAT

govern these cases, because the term
United States as there used. means only
the territory comprised within the sever
al states of the union, and was intended
only for their benefit and protection and
not for the benefit and protection Of
outside territory belonging to theh ma
tion; in the latter sense duties on imports
from these islands were uniform through
out the United States because they are
uniformly enforced at every port in the
United States, so that there Is no prefer
ence given to the ports in one state owe.
those of another, and no inequality be-
tween the several states created"
The last feature of the argument was
a contention that the constitution does
not extend Of it's own force over ac-
quired territory and in this connection
the attorney general sought to refut1
the doctrines as laid down by Chief Jus
tice Taney in the Dred-Scctt case, that
the United States could not acquire ter
ritory for any other purpose than to con-
vert it into states of the union.
In conclusion, Mr.. Griggs submitted
that the judgments in the lower courts
in both cases violate no constitutional
or other right, and therefore should be
affirmed.
