CHINESE GAME OF cHE-FA.
It Is Very Similar to the American
Method of Policy
Playing.

1t is a curious thing that here in
community where the Chinese gam
bling game of che-fa has tiourished fol
many years comparatively few outside
of those who are devotees at the shrine
of the goddess of chance have even the
~faintest idea sof how the game is
played, says the Hawaiian star.
Che-fa is q very simple game indeed,
and in its very simplicity lies the dim
Guilty which the authorities here, as
elsewhere, find in suppression. 1t needs
no apparatus or Tlayout' as do rou-
lette, faro and other games OF chance.
1t does not even need a pack OF cards
or a supply of chips.
Simply judged as a gambling game
and conceding for the momen that 1t
is played on the square, che-fa has It's
allurements, for it is on that basis a
game in which every player has an
equal chance and the bank simply col
lects a percentage of the money staked.
Unfortunately for the players, how
ever, there is not the slightest reason
for doubling that the game as ordlnari-
ly conducted is as crooked as the ira
ditional dogs hind leg.
There are SO characters on a che-fa
ticket, each representing some familiar
object. The non. tiger, moon. mouth,
silver money, gold money box. cent?
pede, dog, rat are among these, but
many of the characters represent
things which are not generally dis
cussed In polite society.
A person who wishes to play the
game seeks an agent and gives him
what sum he wishes, from five cents
up, at the same time indicating what
character he chooses. This character
is marked off on the agents ticket and
the fortune seeker receives a slip ac-t
knowledging his bet or stake. Should
the particular character prove at the
drawing to be the winning number the
lucky player wins 80 times the amount
of his stake. Thus if he stakes five
cents he wins $1.50 or if he plunges
heavily with, say, a dollar he wins $50.
But he does not get all that he wins.
There is the agent to be considered
and he collects ten per cent. of the
amount of the winning, SO that the
man who won $50 would only receive
$27 from the hands of the agent.
1t is n of the odd traits in the Chi
nese character that made che-fa so
popular with them. They are devoted
believers in dreams. If a Chinaman
dreams of a rat, for instance. he will
lose no time in seeking a che-fa agent
and backing the rat to win and no
number of recurrent losses seems to
upset the Chinese faith in the heaven
sign for success. Of course, it is
apparent that If a mar played on ev-
cry n of the 35 characters he would
in all probability win, but his win
would be a loss, for he would only re-
ceive 30 times the amount of the single
bet on the winning character, less the
commission of ten per cent.
Such is the gatHe of che-fa. Barring
only the dream portion of it, it does

Sheepmen are determined to take
ilege of crossing the reservation with
their sheep on the way to the noun
tains this summer, and have decided
upon a line of action to be followed.
The first step taken is in the nature
of a final appeal to the department
at Washington to have a ruling made
by the commissioner of Indian at
fairs to allow sheep taken across. This
has been done by mail through Sem
ator Fulton, and a reply by wire has
been asked for from the senator.
The correspondence with Senator
Fulton has been carried on by ]. H.
Gwinn, as secretary of the Wool
growers association.
Besides the above, another appli-
cation to the department has been
made by the ]. E. Smith Livestock
company. This request was made
prior to the recent conference with
the Indians, and was sent through
the regular channels to the depart
ment, HALEY & Lowell acting as at
torneys for the company.
But it is thought by those we'll in
formed that the requests to the de-
partment will be futile. and that the
position taken by the department in
the past will be maintained.
Legally Public Highway.
Should the above be the case, 1t
is then proposed to test the matter
by starting a band of sheep across
the reserve and thus cause a suit for
trespass to be brought against the
owner. 1t is the belief of the sheep
men and also of prominent local at
torneys that the road across the res
ervation is a legal public highway,
and that sheepmen cannot be barred
from using it, though grazing on land
adjoining the road is of course pro-
hibited. In speaking of the matter
this morning, a well known local
lawyer said:
"The road was laid out by the gov
ernment for such a haghway years
ago, and has always been used as
such, being also a United States mail
route. think there is no doubt that
sheepmen and others are fully entitl-
ed to the use of the road at any time,
and that such will be the decision
should the case be brought into
court"
1t has been thought by some that
the recent decision of the supreme
court on the question of Indian cit
izenship might have an important
bearing on the local situation. Under
the state law there seems to be no
doubt that the road across the reser-
vation is a legal one. and if the In
dians are held by the supreme court
to be full citizens of this state. It
would seem that they would come
under its jurisdiction in this matter.
However, it is said by attorneys that
the decision will not affect the case
in any way, and that the road can be
proven to be a legal highway without
the aid of the recent decision.
