pieces were distributed, each ''chosen
one" being handed So. Finally the
widow would cast her eyes on no more
favored ones, although there were
scores who had not been called forward
and young Jim was instructed to call
the names over again. 1t was at this
stage that much disappointment was
shown by those who had not profted

Feast a Feature of Festivities.
Finally the distribution Of gifts WIS
at an end-but the festivities were not
over by any means. The big dinner
was yet to be served, and no one Of
the Indians left until after the dinner.
Two beeves had been slaughtered in
anticipation of the event, and there
was plenty for all. All the morning
pots had been boiling over campdres
farther down the banks of the Puyal-
lup, and long tables, capable of accom-
modatiug at least 100 at a time, had
been set up on the lawn.
1t was at the feast that the younger
bucks of the tribe "got even" for the
manner in which they had been ignored
at the distribution Of the gifts. When
the announcement was made that din.
ncr was ready, cigarettes were thrown
away and the young scious of a noble
race scampcred to the tables, filing
the seats before the aged members
could get n start. II soon became cvi-
dent that whatever disappointment
they might have felt had not affected
their ]appetitcs, and the contents Of
pot aft r pot were passed among them,
until finally they could eat no more

GOAT TEAM AT THE FAIR.
La Grande Man VIII Drive Four
Trained Goats to Portland.

V. Edwards, who lives just on the
outskirts of this city, will leave Mon
day with his goat team for the Lewis
and Clark fair at Portland, says a La
Grande paper. Mr.. Edwards will
drive four goats attached to n buggy
especially constructed for this pur-
pose, from this city and will distribute
advertising matter along his route.
Mr.. Edwards is an experienced
hand in this kind of business, having
driven from Lincoln Neb., to Salt
Lake City, Utah, with goat team in
the same buggy he now intends to
use in going to Portland.
The goats which he will drive to
Portland are newly trained, he having
secured them only short time ago.
Mr.. Edwards states that he has had
amazing success in training the goats,
and any one who has seen him with
the team on the streets of this city
can verify this assertion, for he has
the goats under perfect control, and
the celerity with which he has train
ed them is remarkable.
There is no doubt but that the goat
team will create a sensation at the eN-
position and that many curious eyes
will gaze upon it and its owner with
interest and admiration. This man
ner of advertising has been used often
before, and Mr.. Edwards will no
doubt make a success Of his present
undertaking.

The Jews PHYSICALLY.

Comparisons of Jews with other
people in respect to their vitality are
made from time to time, and always
make for disbursement of the other
people in the competition. A new
one comes to hand by way of the
London Lancet, which publishes the
result of an investigation of the
physical condition of the children liv-
ing in the slums of Leeds. In every
case the Jewish children showed a
marked superiority in condition.
Comparisons were made of 5000 chill
dren similarly situated as TO age,
poverty. character and residence. The
little S-year-old Jews were three
pounds heavier and two inches taller
than the Gentle children of like age.
At 10 they were six and quarter
pounds heavier and two and half
inches taller At ~ seven pounds
taller Jewish bones and teeth were
better and the Lancet notes that the
nasal chamber was larger in Jewish
children and that they were remark
ably free from adenoids. The char
ncteristic Jewish nose, then, Is not
without some substantial advantages.
The Jewish mothers, 1t seems, got
better care before their children were
born and had more milk for their
babies, and after weaving the young
Jew children We're better and more

5ACAJAWEA' s GRAVE
LANDER, WYO., MAY BE
HER RESTING PLACE.
Old Pioneers of That Place Say She
Died There Among Her People, the
'ShoshoneS-East Oregonian Locat-
ed Burial Place of Charboneau,
Her French Husband, at RlchwOods,
Mo.

A special from Lander, Wyo., gives
an entertaining historical sketch of
the probability of that place being the
last resting place Of Sacajawea, Lewis
and Clarks guide across the Rocky
mountains. The special says:
From old-time residents here, in
formation has been obtained which
tends to establish almost beyond ques-
ton that the body of Sacajawea, the
Shoshone Indian woman, who acted as
guide for Lewis and Clark in their
great journey to the Pacific coast
just 100 years ago, lies buried in an
unmarked grave near the Episcopal
mission on the Shoshone reservation
near here.
Major Baldwin, when in command
at Fort Bridger, made a trip Of ex-
ploration to the Lander valley, his
guide being the Shoshone Indian,
"Old" Basil. Basil's mother, accord
ing to the statements of Basil, as well
as of the woman herself to DR.. James
Irwin, the United States agent at the
reservation, was no other than the
now famous Sacajawea.
Mnen Ine SllOSHOHtS sellltu pll Nhtii
present reservation Old Basil and his
mother took up their abode at the
agency, where the mother died on
April 8, 1884, having lived nearly a
century, and was buried in the Indian
cemetery near the Episcopal mission.
Basil and another son, Baptiste,
mentioned in one of General Clark's
letters, died soon after their mother
of o4d age.
The people of Lander are satisfied
that the Identification of the grave is
authentic"
The East Oregonian has located
without question, the burial place Of
Touissant Cnarboneau, the French
husband of Sacajawea, at Richwoods,
Mo-. but as the Frenchman and his
Indian girl wife separated soon after
their return from the Pacific with
Lewis and Clark, no trace of Sacaja-
Wea is known to Charboneau's de-
scendants who live at Rlchwoods in
great numbers.
Charborneau married French
woman, Louise Favoette. at st. Louis
in 1912, by whom he had one son,
Louis, whose IL children now live at
Richwoods, and in that vicinity.

FAVORS AMALGANIATED.
Decision Says Helnze May Not Swea
AmaIgamated Mines.

Helena, Mont, July 24.-The su-
preme court today decided one of the
most important mining cases in the
history of the state In favor Of the
Amalgamated as against the Heinze
interest. which is known as the Nip
per.
Heinze claimed the right to go un-
der the Anaconda and Never Sweat
mines, two of the richest properties
of the Amalgamated.
The lower court held that Heinze
had the right, but the supreme court
in a unanimous opinion. reversed this
finding and orders a new trial on sew
eral grounds, chief of which Is that
the evidence does not support the
findings.

ANNOYING DELAY
OF RATE RULING
Both Railroads and Shippers
Anxious for Decision
REDUCTION LOOKED FOR
MANUFACTURE WANT STATE
COMMISSION TO GRANT
HORIZONTAL CUT OF
AT LEAST 40 PER
CENT.

The executive officials of the Him
ois roads are uneasy over the rate
situation in this state, says yesterdays
Chicago Tribune.
Chicago shippers are equally uneasy,
despite the fact that they Withdrew
az the last moment from participation
n the case before the railroad and
warehouse commission for horizontal
reduction OF the commissions rates
within the state because OF the con
cessiona given them by the railroads
The anxiety of the shippers is due
in part to the fact that the railroad
and warehouse commissioners have
not yet made known their decision
although the briefs of the railroad at
torneys were presented nearly seven
weeks ago Both sides would prefer
knowing the worst to the present I'M
certaintt
There is little doubt that the decis
sion will be in favor Of a reduction,
but there is much concern TO know
how much Of reduction will he made.
II the reduction is only Is per cent, the
railroads undoubtedly will consider
that they have won a victory, although
they will probably enter formal pro
test for the sake Of appearances A
reduction of Is per cent will not sat
isfy the shippers of The state. however,
in fact. il will still leave the manu-
facturers and jobbers of other states
with an advantage over their competi-
tors in Illinois.
Horizontal Reduction Desired.
Although it has never been an
nounced officially that Chicago re
ceived any reduction in rates from the
railroads on condition of their with
draying from the prosecution of the
case, ii is known almost to a certainty
that the concession granted amounted
10 80 per cent in the south bound rates
The east and west roads, because Of
competition, do not use the Illinois
schedule OF rates except in isolated
instances, and the Central Freight as
ISOLATION rates which are used are
from 25 to so per cent lower than the
commissions rates Similar reduc-
ions have been granted to few other
cities in the Central portion of the
state whose merchants were at one
time active participants in the prose
cution before the commission
For this reason il is hoped that the
commission will order a horizontal re
duction of AT least 80 per cent all over
the state. If Illinois is to be put on
par with its neighboring sttaes, the
shippers say the reduction should be
between 40 and so per cent,
The question has been before the
since March, 1902. and the
of testimony which has been
taken, if printed. would fill a good !
sized legal volume.
