DETROIT COMPANY ON GROUND
EARLY TO MEET WITH COUN-
TY COMM sSIONERs.
Board Will Take up Subject at Next
Meeting-Many Jail Men are
Expected.

H. S. Hall, representing Whitehead
& Kales, Jail construction and steel
and iron works company of Detroit,
Mich, was in Walla Walla today with
plans and specifications for a new jai.
which will be submitted to the coun-
ty commissioners at the regular meet
ing of the board next week. Auditor
Honeycutt mailed invitations to
number of Jail construction companies
some time ago to have representatives
here with plans next week and
number of Jail men and contractors
are expected to be on hand Monday.
The plans which Mr. Hall will sub
NIT to the commissioners call for
sheriff's residence and Jail combined
and will cost approximately $4,000
complete. The building is of neat
and pleasing design, while the interior
is very commodious and conveniently
laid out. The first floor contains a large
reception hall, from which a tasty
staircase leads to the rooms above;
parlor library, dining room, a we'll
laid out pantry. The sheriffs office
connects with the library, and also by
passage to the kitchen, and to the Jail
directly through the entrance corridor.
To the side of the office is a room pro-
vided for the turnkey. A food slide and
passage connects the kitchen directly
with the pail, so that the food is quick
ly delivered at meal times. The second
floor contains four cOmmodiOus Sleep
ing rooms with their individual clothes
closets, bath room with open nickeled
plumbing.
The basement contains prison
laundry entirely barred for the SAT-
ETY. of the prisoners; also coal bins
and fruit cellar, etc.
The finish of the residence on the
| first floor and second floor hall is of
oak, the remaining finish being of
Georgia pine. The sheriff's Office has
prettily designed tile-f1oor.
The Jail is two stories or tiers in
height, each story or tier containing
eight cells in two rows of four each.
These are laid out on the back to- back
system with utility corridor interven-
ing, in which all the cell plumbing is
confined and not exposed to the pris
oners or to view. The cells are 6xSXS,
their sides, partitions and backs be-
ing of 3-16 Bessemer steel, the fronts
being of grating construction made up
of rs Hezagaonal vertical spaced 4
inches o. c., passing through and in
terlocking with a 1-2x2 channel hori-
zontal spaced II inches o. C.
In front of the cells is a six foot
exercise corridor for the use of the
prisoners during the day. Around this
entire cell block is a guard corridor
which completely isolates the prison
ers from the outside walls of the
building.
There are also female, juvenile hos
pital and insane departments all equip
ped with cells and appliances Of ap
ppopriate construction for their re-
spective uses. A detention room is
provided for the OBTAINING of wit
nesses or suspicious persons.

Governor Albert Mead will arrive
in Walla Walla tomorrow morning
from Olympia, coming via. Portland.
Ostensibly the governors visit to
Walla Walla at this time is for the
purpose Of attending the races OF
the Walla Walla County Fair associa-
ton, where he is expected to make an
address tomorrow afternoon. While
here, however it is possible that the
executive will investigate, the charges
that have been made in the newspa-
pers against Warden KEGS relative to
the typhoid epidemic that prevails at
the state penitentiary.
Yesterday in Portland to Tele-
gram reporter the governor announced
that he knew nothing of the affair
other than what he had heard, and
these reports, he said, he believed
to be considerably colored.
For instance" said the governor
today, lit mas been said that Superin-
tendent KEGS disregarded the warn
ing Of DR.. Blalock, the prison physi-
clan, about the unsanitary condition
of the penitentiary. Now DR.. Blalock
is an appOintee of Mr.. KEGS, and I
can see no reason why he should elect
to disregard the advice of a man of
his own selection in such a matter. 1
can see no reason for such a proceed
ure, and it seems to me inconsistent"
In case you find conditions at the
penitentiary to be as represented in
the papers, will you remove Superin-
tendent Kees?" was asked.
L certainly WILL" answered the gov
ernor. Il would remove any man for
failure to do his duty to such an ex-
tent. But l have no idea of what 1
shall do until l have looked into the

BeaI Is Mentioned.

1t is announced in dispatch from
Olympia that in the event there should
be a change in the wardenship at the
penitentiary that T. n. Beal, the gov
ernor's brotheri law, would stand
a good show of being made warden of
the prison. Beal was appointed oil
inspector when the new law went into
effect but yesterday was succeeded by
J. L. Canutt of Whitman county II
is said that Beal is to be taken care
of by the governor and wise ones are
tipping it off that he will succeed
Warden KEGS should he be removed or
resign. ]. H. Davis, of the board of
control, is also being touted for the
place should a vacancy occur.

on Round
Trip Tickets

A committee Of all the railroad pas.
senger associations Of the United
States lately met In Louisville, KY.
10 consider the adoption of a uniform
contract OF all round trip tickets In
the United States. When they left
Louisville II was with the declaration
that the chances are good that within
twelve months all round trip tickets
over all the railroad lines throughout
the United States and Canada will
bear the same contract. The railroad
men OF the country have been for sew.
eral years striving for such a system.
The claim is that 1t will not only be
OF great advantage to the different
railroad lines, but that II will save
travellers a great deal of worry and
annoyance. In order TO perfect such
a uniform system the members OF this
ticket committee have had to wade
through thousands of contracts and
recommendations, coming from the
various railroads. Their work was be.
gun over three years ago and has
been In progress since.

THE STEWART ABoMTNATIoN-

The most important single matter that confrons the
people Of the Indian Territory at this time Is without
doubt what is known as the Stewart amendment This
item Of proposed legislation first offered in the form
Of bill and afterward embodied anamendment to the
pending Indian appropriation BILL where it now stands
GOOD show Of being enacted law before the demise Of
the present session OF congress.
The provisions OF the Stewart amendment were at
st considered so wide of the mark matter OF intel
gent legislation that much attention paid to it,
II developed however that Secretary Hitchcock favored
such 4 measure and that powerful combination was
determined to enacr it into and put il into opera
oD at once in the Indian country OF all the bad legis
ation that has been offered, and much of it put into
effect in recent years touching Indian Territory matters
the Stewart amendment is the crownng bupder, and
would bring more disaster the Indian citizen than any
other yet proposed Senator Stewart and Secretary
Hitchcock seem to have entirely lost sight Of the rights
Of the Indians and propose to arbitrarily take their
lands that we're conveyed to them by patent by the gov
ernmen for consideration and to practically confscate
those lands BY apprasng and selling them without the
consent Of the allottees.
The Cherokees have not far from an average OF 50
acres each small homestead at BEST and this amend
ent proposes to sell all Of this 20 acres to outside
settlers without the of the aottee This act is
in violation OF treaties and agreements from the very
beginning The cry is raised in Washington that the
grafters are getting the lands away from the Indians
without Just compensation This not true to any great
extent. 1t has been greatly overstated The CRATER
would have less chance fleece the allottee were the
title to all lands the aloments of adults free from re-
strctions The attempt restrict the sale has had
tendency to reduce the value and when land sold it
does not bring as much it would the owners al
lowed an open and free market The alotments Of min
os should OF course be nalenabe during minority but
40 longer The full blooded Indians should be permitted
to 90 into the courts and when intelligent enough TO
handle their own property be allowed to do so.
The commercial interests of the territory would suffer
greatly should the Stewart amendment become law,
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1905-02-18

but the people who would be hit the hardest would be
the Indians themselves Many Indian families are eas
ing their alotments for money with which they ars edu
eating their children and this actually prohibits
the leasing OF any for agricultural purposes The
Indian with a large family Of young children would be
compelled to allow the land to grow up in weeds and TO
give up the yearly results that support the family
There are absolutely many defects in the
that it is difficult know where to attack it, 1t would
retard the development Of the country without benefit
ting the Indian The interests Of the people of the In
dian Territory are now so nterwoven to make them
really inseperable What good for the Indian is also
good for his white neighbor. To harass and out
these Indian people by such legislation is outrageous
The writer is not land buyer CRATER, but views
the situation rather from the standpoint of the Indian
citizen and Sees thinks he Sees the finish of the Indian
should the Stewart amendment prevail. This country
cannot be turned back Indian country and there
fore it ought to be developed the highest and best
sense consistent with the rights Of the owners Of the
land the Indians 1t go forward and not backward
and legislation should be to this end.
The majority of the people whose interestsare involved
