ALASKA HAD GOOD CARE.
Northern Territory Got New Laws Which
VIII Bring Settlers.

Washington, March 3I.-"Alaska has
been bountifully taken care of in the
past session Of congress-" said ]. W.
Ivey, who has been here all winter urg-
ing legislation of one sort or another
for the big territory. 81 find that very
few states have secured as much in the
way of local legislation, and few men,
bers can go home as contented as will
return to my people. We did not get
everything we wanted, but We did get
the most essential things, and l have
no complaint to make. When | first
came down here at the opening OF the
session, senator's and representatives
told me might as we'll go home, that
in the short session there would be no
time tor considering legislation. They
advised me to come back next session,
when there was more time. But | re-
piled that we had been put off that
way year after year, and did not in
tend to stand it any longer. So l
camped down, and here | have been
ever since.
SIN my opinion, the most important
legislation Of the session was the Alas
ka homestead bill, permitting the entry
of 320 acres OF land, 100 of which may
be commuted upon, and like amount
taken by scrip. The bill is not perfect,
but it will do great deal towards
bringing in the class of permanent set
tiers that we so much need. Now that
people can acquire title to the land,
and can feel safe against encroachment,
there will be a heavy immigration, and
the fertile valleys will soon begin to
fill with industrious, energetic people.
When we get larger population, as
we are now sure to do, we will come
bacK to congress and make known our
other wants"

TO SELL WRECK OF The MAINE.
Cuban HarbOr and Coast VIII Be Cieare'
of Wrecked Battleships.

Cuban fiarbor and Coast VIII Be Cleared
of Wrecked Battleships.
ssWashington, April IL The Cuban
cabinet at recent meeting decided to
call for bids by advertisement, both in
Havana and abroad. for the removal
from Havana harbor OF the wretk < of the
battleship Maine and the removal OF
the wret ks Of the several Spanish war
vessels lying on the southern coast OF
the island. Bids will also be invited
for removing the wreck of the Merrimac
from the entrance to Santiago harbor
and the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII,
which is grounded on the north coast,
near Havana.
1t is the expectation OF the Cubans
that a neat sum will be realized by the
transaction, as bidders will not be paid
for the work, but will be required to
pay for the privilege, on condition that
the recovered ships and material shall
pass to them. There are number Of
bidders awaiting the opportunity TO
submit proposals, among them @. +
W. Neely, notoriously associated with
the Havana postoffice.
1t is reported that the Spanish gov
ernment seeks to recover some OF the
ships now lying on the southern coast,
but all bids must be made by individ-
uals or firms. Offers from the Spanish
government will not be entertained.

YAKIMA INDIAN LANDS.
Effort Being Made by Commissioner to
Settle Long Standing Dispute.


Washington, April l. - Representa-
tive Cushman has been advised by the
commissioner OF Indian affairs that
steps are coon to be taken looking to
negotiating final agreement with the
Indians Of the Yakima reservation
whereby they will surrender all claim
to lands lying between the west bound
ary of their reservation and the crest
of the Cascade mountains.
Ever since the treaty of 1865, deGn-
ing the boundaries OF the Yakima res
ervation, there has been dispute as
to the lands actually belonging to the
Indians. In that treaty their reserva-
tion was to extend westward ito the
crest OF the Cascade mountains" but
in the subsequent survey marking the
boundaries OF the reservation the west
boundary line was laid off a considera-
BILE distance to the east Of the noun
tains. The Indians have all along
maintained that they were enormously
deprived Of the intervening tracts, but
no satisfactory agreement has ever been
made with them. Only last year they
refused an offer Of 10000 for the
lands, saying that was not sufficient
recompense for their loss.
Renewed efforts are to be made
through special agent of the depart
ment to procure mutually satisfactory
agreement this summer. and in that
event congress at the next session will
be asked TO appropriate the amount
called for in such agreement to quiet
the Indians claim. The department
is thoroughly convinced that the equi.
ties OF the case are with the Indians.

Hopes to Find Water.

B. F. Coplen, an expert on forma-
tion for artesian water, who sunk the
artesian wells at Pullman, Wash, and
who for many years has been making
extensive examinations of the Colum-
bia river basin, has been looking over
the situation in the vicinity of Echo for
some time with view to getting four
or five sections of land and putting in
the necessary machinery for thoroughly
testing the subject. he says that
there is every indication that artesiau
water can be had along the base Of the
Echo buttes.

PrOsperous Hood River valley.

Though the annual precipitation at
Hood River is about SO inches, irriga-
tion is very important factor in the
prosperity of the Hood River valley.
Since irrigation came into practice ON a
considerable scale five years ago the
population of the valley has quad
rupled, the price Of land has increased
800 per cent and the entire fruit ship
ping business Of that locality has grown
up. Sixty thousand crates of straw
berries 1.-TWO dozen boxes to the crate)
and 100 carloads of apples, of last
years production, have been shipped
from that station, and large quantities
OF fine apples are still going forward to
market.

NORTHWEST AT THH CAPITAL.
Title Of Tacoma Building Site Defective
Seattle. Tacoma Mails.

Washington, March 91.-The attor
ney general today reported that he had
examined the title to the public build
ing site at Spokane, designated for pur-
chase early in the winter, and had
found ii clear. A check has been made
out and sent the owners.
There is faulty title to two lots in
cluded in the Tacoma site, the lots
owned by Mrs. Walsh, and before that
site can be acquired these two lots will
have to be condemned, thereby insuring
clear title. The title to the balance
Of the site is satisfactory.
Senator Foster today urged the post
Office department to increase the mail
service between Seattle and Tacoma.
He was told that, if the electric road
would carry such mails as we're offered
it at reasonable rate, the additional
service would be established. All in
terurbaan mails are now carried by the
Northern Pacific.

DEATH OF PIONEER
HENRY WINSL0W CORBETT PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND.
Was One Of Portland's Foremost Citizens
Father of the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position His Life Was Crowded with
Affairs of Business, State and PhiIan-
thropy-End Was Peaceful.

Portland, April l.-Henry Winslow
Corbett, for over half century a FORE
most citizen of Portland, is dead.
The end came yesterday morning as the
dawn crept over the eastern hills.
While the light of the new day was
drawing on the life Of one of 0regon's
greatest pioneers was ebbing away.
So slowly did the waning taper of
life go out that they who grieved at the
bedside could scarcely perceive when it
fiickered last. The angel of death
touched Mr.. Corbett gently, and he
went as he had wished to go, easily and
painlessly.
The end of Mr.. Corbett's life so soon
was quite unexpected. His health had
been failing for three months past, and
that'he was on a downward slope was
evident. The vital forces were spend
ing themselves fast. Last Saturday
the family saw the first manifestation
of the approaching end. "I'm very
sleepy," said the patient, but COM
planned of no bodily suffering. The
heart which Tor over 70 years had sup
piled the sentines Of the brain with
life's fluid was growing feeble and the
sentinels we're drowsy.
