May l Is Believed to Be the Date
Set for the Event,
THRONG AWAITING THE EVENT,
Brief Description of the Lands and
Their Ciassihcntion-Every Foot
of the Coded District Has Been
Thoroughly Gone Over and Some
Excitement IL Expected when
Rush Begins-Lands Are Rich.

II Is generally believed that the coded
north haf of the coivilie indian reserva-
tion VIII be thrown open for settlement
ABOUT May l. Miners and timber mea who
are interested in the matter and who have
mad communication with department offi-
clals give 1t as their opinion that this
Will be the date. A big rush to the dis
trict, which contains rich agricultural. tim
Der and mineral lands, is expected. In
Spokane 1t is said are many persons who
are waiting for the opening and great ex-
element is promised.
Robert Barry. a well known Spokane
mining man who is largely interested in
Republic and Colville properties, is at the
Northern. In speaking OF the coded district
yesterday he said According to the best
information obtainable the land will be
thrown open for settlement about May l.
Mineral rights have been valid since the
signing of the treaty. but no agricultural
or timber rights have been allowed We
are expecting considerable excitement
There are a great many men on he
ceded strip already. outside the towns of
Republic and Colville. A great majority
are engaged In mining. but II is safe to
say there is not a foot OF land in the whole
district that has not been thoroughly ex-
p.ored. The timber has been cruised and
the agricultural land looked over, so that
when the day of opening arrives II will
not take long 20 settle the district
In the entire Northwest 1t would lie

cited cases 10 show that it was common

Lewiston. December DIR. Robert H..
Daintree of Lewiston was arraigned In
the municipal court Friday morning
be fore Clerk of Courts Emerson, charged
with performing criminal operation.
The complainant is Ellison M. South
ard Of Auburn. and the woman involved,
his wife, Kate NJ. Southland. DIR. Dain-
tree pleaded not guilty.
The case was postponed until Tuesday
at p. m.
In a brief statement DR.. Daintree states
most emphatically that ne never treated
Mrs Southland professionally for any
thing. That previous to three months
ago he did not know of their existence.
Then, he alleges. he was approached by
them and given an opportunity to avoid
trouble by payment OF $500 This propo-
sition the doctor promptly turned down,
also others, SO he says. where the figures
grew beautifully less. Inc last time he
heard from them, he states, the price was
SgUO less thansthe frat time. DIR. Daintree
does not hesitate 20 characterize the
whole proceeding as blackmail.
Mrs. Southland says the operation was
performed early In September and with
ont the knowledge of her husband. She
afterwards confessed to her father who
told her husband.

packages were passed around and -afte'
they had been examined Mr.. Grout de.
fed anyone to tell whether they con-
tanned butter or oleomargarine. Then hi
turned mp corner Of the wrapping paper
which had been apparently oareiessly
folded down and displayed the printed
sign "oleomarRine.
MIR. Lorimer OF Illinois, made q vigcr-
Gus speech In opposition TO the bill. He
also gave a practical illustration Of the
sale OF oleomargarine under existing laws
under the Circuit bill and under the NH
nority substitute.
Mr.. Circuit interrupted 30 ask how It
would be possible to color oleomargarine
under his bin and sell 10 for butter.
Mr.. Lorimer replied that the ten cent
tax would be an additional incentive to
people desiring to commit fraud by col
oring oleomargarine.
mir. Bailey of Kansas supported the
substitute.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio opposed the
circuit bill, which ne said was designed
TO destroy one industry for the benefit OF
another. He said that II the manufacture
of oleomargarine was destroyed, as the
bill would destroy It, the cost OF butter
would increase 20 per cent to the labor
ing man.
Mir. Lamb of Virginia and Mr.. David
son OF Wisconsin, supported the bill. Mr.
Williams OF Mississippi said he was will
ing TO stamp out fraud not only In the
sale of olsomargarine, but OF Vermont
maple syrup and every other food pro
duct.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota closed the
general debate with a 10 minute speech
in favor of the 9rout hill. The bill was
then read for amendment.
Mr. bartlett OF Georgia moved to strike
out the provision that nothing In the bill
should be construed. to spermit any state
to forbid the manufacture or sale OF oleo-
margarine In such form as would advise
the consumer OF its real character free
from Celebration.
The amendment was lost as to lis. An
amendment was adopted providing that
the act should go into effect July l, 1901.
MIR. Bailey OF Texas closed the debate
against the bill.
Mr.. wadsworth OF New York then
offered the substitute prepared by the
minority. The vote was first taken upon
the substitute. The substitute was de-
feated 11S to l7s. The bill then passed
IyS to 90.
Mr.. Payne, chairman Of the ways and
means committee, reported the war reye-
nue. reduction bill. He gave notice that
he would call up the bill after the dispo-
sition OF the legislative appropriation
bill, probably on Tuesday.
