WARNER SETTLERS TO SUE
Test Validity of Deeds Issued to
Stock Company.

Attorney John Hall Of Por tland, is
preparing papers for the commence
ment of a suit in behalf of the set
tiers in Warner Valley, Lake county,
in their contest with the Warner Val
ley Stock Company. When Mr.. Hall
was in Salem last week he said that
a suit will be filed in Lake county
to test the validity of the deeds issued
by the state for the lands which are in
dispute.
The proceedings heretofore have
been condcuted in the General Land
Office and the Department of the In
terror. The decision in the depart
ment was adverse to the settlers, who
are homesteaders, and claimed title
from the United States.
The question in dispute is whether
the lands were swamp lands in 1860,
when such lands were granted to the
state by the United States 1t is ad-
mitted that at the present time the
lands are not swamp, but it is claim
ed that their character has changed
since 1860.

ALASKA EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Indian Carving. Curios and Hand
iwork to Be Exhibited.

We, of Alaska, are never tired
telling of the beauties and strange
ness and the many things of interest
connected with this country Last
evening we listened to an address by
the Governor, John G.. Brady, relative
to the st. Louis Exposition. If any
of the readers of this, paper should
visit st. Louis during the Worlds fair
next year, they may find unique
and quaint building, constructed after
the style of our Indian houses, orna-
mented on the oti'side with many
large old totem 1roles, taken from
various Indian Villages of Southern
Alaska. Some of the large timbers
will also be taken from old Indian
buildings, they will be the ones
wich are elaborately carved, showing
the handiwork of the natives.
The Indians style of carving is
peculiarly their own, and is difficult
of imitation. They formerly did
their carving with tool made by
themselves, from stone or native cop.
per. The large wooden and horn
spoons, ladies and other household
utensils are ornamented with totemic
emblems, even their jewelry is cover
ed with these figures. Masks, which
are worn at dances, are also skillfully
carved. Into their clothing and
blankets are woven or worked with
pearl buttons or beads, various myth
illogical emblems. Their large wood
en- halibut hooks and long pipes are
carved like totem poles
The Alaska building is to be placed
on high elevation, overlooking a
considerable part of the Exposition,
Its unique style of architecture and
quaint adornments will make it very
attractive.
There will be an exhibition of the
products from various parts of Alaska
including specimens of lumber from
the saw mills, many of them conduct
ed entirely by the natives, canned fisl
from the canneries, especially the can
ned salmon, and specimens of mineral
from the principal mines. A larg,
variety Of the curios of the Indiai
handiwork will be one of the mos
interesting attractions of the Alaski
exhibit and not least among them i
the Indian made basket, fabricated il
various shapes and for numerou
uses, stained with native dyes ant
ornamented with interviewer symbol
and artistic designs Many of then
are samples Of taste and intelligen
handcraft not easy to reconcile witt
their seeming ignorance. Thes
baskets are made from the inner bar
of the cedar, roots and grasses, s
closely woven as to be water tight
The women make beaded bags, mocca
sins, beautiful mats and many othe
unique curios.
1t is expected that many of th
natives from Alaska will attend tn
Exposition, especially brass band
composed of native boys. The Cover
nor has already visited many of tn
towns, creating an interest among tn
people, soliciting material for tn
building and curios, materials etc.
for the exhibit. His address in thi
town was full of interest. Octobc
IS, will be set apart as Alaska
