Armed warfare, which may end in

forces of the cattle barons and the
settlers. The ranch buildings of o. f,

armed band of cowboys in the employ
OF wealthy cattlemen. Hamilton call

Governor Mickey was advised and
promptly wired the sheriff to take ac-

neighbors from further molestation.

San Francisco. Oct. 6.-The alien
in-uransit head tax case was decided
yesterday by the United States circuit
court of appeals against the Oceanic
Steamship company and in favor of
the action of United States Customs
Collector Frederick S. Stratton In hav-
ing collected 81 per head for 2le alien
passe ngers In transit through the
United States.
The opinion of the court was writ
ten by Judge Hawley, and a vigorous
dissenting opinion was filed by Pre-
siding Judge Gilbert On the trial in
the United States circuit court Judge
Morrow decided that the imposition
Of 81 head tax, even temporarily upon
alien passengers in transit was a viola
tion of the statute, which expressly
forbids the Imposition OF such a tax.
The government appealed.
Judge Hawley held that rule Is Of
the regulations OF the commissioner
of immigration was valid; that ii was
necessary to protect the government
from imposition by aliens who might,
at an Asiatic or Australian port. pur-
chase a through ticket to Europe.
then on their arrival at san Francisco
or other point in the United States
might sell the ticket and remain here,
of 50.
Judge Hawley called attention to
the fact that the record did not show
that any of the 21O passengers had
ever left the United States.

SURVEY NORTH COAST ROAD.
All Preliminaries Are Now Made and
Grading VIII Soon Begin.


North Yakima, oct. 5.-A party of
engineers under the charge of II. F.
Marble. of this city. will leave here
this afternoon or tomorrow for the
Naches valley to lay out the route of
the North Coast railway.
The line has been surveyed from the
mouth of the Tietan to the Cowlitz
Mr.. Marble will complete the line from
Tietan TO this place and probably on
pass and all the details completed.
to Sunnyside.
He spent Tuesday in getting togeth-
er a party of men to assist in doing
the work, which he expects to COM
plete in about three weeks. The North
Coast railway is now busy getting the
rights of way for the road up the
Naches. Some purchases have already
been made for this purpose. The COM
pany expects to get things i'm shape for
grading to be commenced before win
ter sets in. The construction of the
road will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible.
When it is to be completed may be
gathered from the application for a
franchise for the road to pass through
this city. This franchise says that 100
miles of the road is to be completed
in IS months and the road is to be
finished and ready for business in two
years.

osAGE COUNTY SETTLED.
White Farmers Rushing Into the In
dian Territory.

The Usage Indian country, of which
there is 1.47O.O00 acres, is rapidly be-
ing settled by white farmers from
Missouri and Kansas, who occupy the
lands under leases, says a Guthrie,
Oklahoma, dispatch.
Thus far 1850 Indians have selected
their allotments of land, or about rs
per cent of the tribe. At the present
time there are over 1850 leases on
file in the agents office awaiting his
approval, the majority of them being
for only 100 acres each. These leases
are all on lands which have been Sc
lected as allotments.
The leases are of two kinds, i'm
proved and unimproved. The former
are rather of the nature of rental
farms and the prices average $3.50 per
acre for five years. The unimproved
leases are for five years and for $50
per annum, with an improvement
clause. compelling the lessee to erect
n house and barn. dig a well, put up a
three-wire fence around the lease and
plant an orchard of so trees, the total
approximate value being $500.

SARGENT MAY RESIGN.
Washington Dispatch Says John Nit
chcll May BE Immigration Commits

sdoner.
The news that Frank p. Sargent
immigration commissioner, may re-
sign to give John Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers, the job will be
received with surprise in the west,
where Mr.. Sargent is well known.
Before his appointment to the posi-
ton of immigration commissioner,
Mr. Sargent was for 16 years grand
master of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and has visited the or
der on every line of road in the
United States. He has many personal
acquaintances in La Grande and on
the entire system of the o. X, & NJ,
and it was through his influence and
close association with President Roos-
evelt that induced the president to join
the order, as an honorary member
three years ago at Chattanooga, Tenn.
1t is understood, however, that the
ideas of Mr.. Sargent and those of
President Roosevelt have clashed over
many details in the office of COM
missioner Of immigration. Mr.. Sargent
is a strong Chinese eXclusionist and II
is thought that his fixed stand on this
question has had to do with his pro-
posed resignation.
Sargent and John Mitchell were
close personal friends during all of
Mr.. Sargent's long service in the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and they were on numerous arbitration
boards together, in the settlement of
important labor difficulties in the east.

Colloauial History of the War.

Bright. witty, and interesting, the book
entitled, Johnny Reb and Billy Yank,"
by Alexander Hunter, IS an epitome Of
the civil war It will prove interesting to
the men Of both sides. While the nara
tive is written by a soldier in the Confed-
crate service there is nothing that is BIT
ter anywhere in the book II is a simple
story of the trials and joys Of q soldiers
life, his hopes and aspirations with
nothing elaborate about It. Mr.. Hunt ar
presents, a simple chain of facts breezi y.
Mr. Hunter served two years as an m
fantrynan and two more as a member
of the famous Black Horse Cavalry Of
Virginia As he was private at f.rst
he was intimately acquainted wfIsSl lhe
common soldiers and had a chance 20 oo-
serve things that officers could nos sze.
Mr.. Hunter had never been under fire
until he went into battle with other
raw recruits. This provided a further
ability-that to picture the quaIns and
fears and all of the other symptoms ex-
hibited by the troops just before and
during an engagement.
The book cannot fail TO interest all
who wish to read a eolloquial and hu-
man history of the war cieverly inter-
spersed With humor and provided with
enough pathos to indicate the real spir-
it Of war.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
The Presidents address before the
Mothers Congress has attracted as wide
an interest as anything he has ever
uttered. The President has fresh, in
cisive style that usually wins convic-
tions, and opens up vast field for
thought
We knew that France w&s worse than
at Il standstill so far as the difference
between births and deaths was con-
cerned. but we did not know that she
was absolutely on a decline. owing TO
the reluctance of the modern French
women 10 become mothers.
We are aware, too, that this ten
dency prevailed to some extent all over
the civilized world, but we were not
aware that il had assumed proportions
of sufficient magnitude to alarm us.
We believe that disinclinatjon 10 have
large families exists to a greater ex-
tent in cities than in other sections, and
that as We cover such vast area OF
territory. and cities figured so small in
per capita of population, we are to a
great measure exempt from the dangers
which threaten France though we may
eventually reach the same state.
There is one remarkable feature OF
this subject here In the city of Wash
Ington.
Ne believe there is a law, ruling, ira
dition, or something to the effect that
married women should not be employed
in the departments. Whatever it is We
know that It is Of sufficient force for
many young women in these depart
ments who get married 10 keep the mat
ter secret. We have never known
however. an instance OF one being dis
missed when 1t was found out
We know Of many very strong reasons
why 1t should not be permitted and
we are unalterably opposed to the en-
! ployment of married women in any Gov
| ernment office
/ The remarkable feature Of this affair
is that few. wonderfully few, of these
women ever become mothers, though
! they are in most cases young robust
vigorous and to all appearances could
! perform all motherly functions as wei
| as any other of our women.
Roughly estimated there are 1000 mar
| ried women iii the various depa rtments
and we have never known or heard OF
| half dozen OF them who ever bore
| children. There are rumors enough. bu
we place no reliance upon such things
| But the physiological fact remains that
| these women are. to all appearances
! capable in every way of bearing chill
! dren, yet they are slngularly barren
How can it be accounted for?

Paying the Price.

Tropriety and prosperity do not al
ways go hand-in-hand. That is shown
in dispatches from the metropolis
telling Of the wild auto chase there
yesterday, in which the scion of one
of the great families came off second
best after being chased up through
Harlem by a mounted policeman.
The young millionaire had only a
checkbook with him, SO one of his
companions put up $500 bail, and
that will probably make today's
hearing e nero formality.
The lesson Of the incident. how
ever, may be to call attention to how
some other auto enthusiasts are
spending their money to better ad-
vantage than in augmenting police
court forfeits. 1t indicates that while
inherited wealth does not instiu ia

sponsibilities than the law compels

habitually breaking the law and
risking human lives and big damage
suits in the bargain.
These men are rich automobile en-
thusiasts, and they have formed a
preliminary organization for the con-
struction of a twenty-mile straight
way speeding course in central New
Jersey. The run out from New York
will be sufficiently tedious under the
restraint Of the legal rate Of speed
to put each chauffeur on his mettle
when he finally reaches his own hap
py speeding ground Imagine his
tense feelings as he tries to snatch a
little extra speed while on the way
there, harassed in Imagination If moi
in reality, by the fly cops of the
bicycle squad! And then think how
exultantly he will let out every kinb
and regale himself right royalty
when he strikes his own unlimited
right-of-way!
B-Zzz; whirr-r-r, how the distance
annihilators will fly. No moth will
be able to live there in any chauf-
feur's fur coat. No rust will cor
rupt any part or particle of the mech
anism. No thief in policemans garf
will break through the autoists' in
closing fence and steal pocketbooks
to pay fines
1t will be bliss. No doubt there
will be safety signals seven miles
