Nespelem, Wash, June 23.-Albert
Waters, an educated Indian, has been
chosen chief of the Nez Perce Indi-
ans at the big powwow in progress on
the reservation near here. There is
considerable dissatisfaction over the
election, many of the Indians claim
ing the office should properly go to
the hereditary chief, Yellow Bull,
who followed Chief Joseph all
through the Nez Perce campaign of
1877. Yellow Bull says there could
be no disputing of his rights if he
chose to assert them.
The unveiling of the monument
erected by Samuel Hill, vice president
of the Great Northern railway COM
pany, on behalf of the State Histori-
cal society, took place Tuesday at
o'clock p. m.
There is one large council tepee 80

The Indians came very near bar
ring all cameras from the Indian GEM
etery on account of their supersti-
tions. The big potlatch, when all of
Joseph's clothes and property will be
distributed gratis among his kindred
and members of the tribe, will not be
held for a few days yet.
Teopeoteous is the principal dis
senting candidate for chief. There
were probably so or 60 prominent
men present on the occasion of the
unveiling ceremonies. Captain NJ. c..

The State Association of Assessors
of Oregon, which met in special ses-
sion at La Grande yesterday, passed
a resolution fixing the value of o. r.
& n. railroad property at $4,000 per
mile and instructing assessors to as
sess this property at exactly the same
proportion of this true valuation that
other property is assessed, thus unan-
imously indorsing the policy OF As
SCISSOR c. p. Strain of this county, in
his stand for higher valuations OF
railroad property.
The meeting was called by Presi-
dent Sigler of Multnomah county.
president of the State Association of
Assessors and assessors of Multnomah
county, and was made up of the as
SCISSORS of the counties in which the
o. r. & n. owns property and was
therefore composed of the following
counties: Multnomah, Wasco. Sher-
man, Gillian. Morrow, Umatilla,
Union. Baker and Malheur, with the
assessors of Jackson and Wallowa
counties present to listen to the dis
cussions.
Tax Agent j. W. Morrow, of the o.
r. e. N, was invited to be present
to present the railroads side of the
discussion and C. p. Strain of UNA
tilla county, made the arguments for
the higher valuation. The discussion
of the subject was thorough and ex-
haustive and half a day was consum
ed in the arguments OF Mr.. Strain
and Mr.. Morrow.

New York, June 23.-District At
torney Jerome appeared before Re-
corder Goff this morning and made
motion that the June term of court,
which ends next Thursday, be con-
tinued indefinitely in order that the
public prosecutor might have aid in
court in connection with the proposed
investigation of Equitable affairs.
Jerome stated he had arranged with
Justice Davy of Rochester to continue
the June term of the criminal branch
of the supreme court for a similar
reason. Jerome said he is not in a
position to say whether any crime
has been committed, but in view of
the fact that the people of the entire
world are affected by the Equitable
trouble, he felt 1t imperative to make
full investigation. The motion was
granted.

To Recover Illegal Profits.

Attorney General Mayer began

fined to the Hyde period, but the new

its future business policy.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-06-23
Unanimous Judgment.

At the close If the arguments a
resolution was unanimously passed
fixing the value OF the o. r. & n.
property at s32, 900 per mile in Ore
gon and binding assessors in every
county in which the company has
property to this valuation, the assess
ment to be made in each county on
exactly the same basis as other prop
erty with this valuation as basis. II
other property is assessed at one
third of its true value, railroad prop
erty shall be assessed mt one-third,
with $4,000 as the true value, thus
practically indorsing the assessment
of Mr.. Strain in this county.
The only county which absolutely
refused to be bound by the agree
ment was Baker county, and 1t is well
known that II has always opposed as
sessing the railroad at anything but
a nominal figure.
Assessor c. P. Strain. who returned
home from the meeting last night. is
highly pleased with the result OF the
meeting, and believes that the conn
ties promising to live up to the agree
ment Will faithfully perform their
part OF the pledge and that a general
movement for higher valuation of
railroad property throughout the state
is now well defined
He highly praises President SigleT
of the state association as student
of taxation and an earnest. efficient
assessor, seeking to find a true value
of property by estimating its earning
capacity and it's ability to yield an in
come to its owners. The other as
SCISSORS along the line were practically
all as earnest in the matter as the
president, and It is now apparent that
the state association will back up the
pioneer move made in this county by
Mr.. Strain along this line.
Vote of Thanks to Strain.
At the close of the meeting a unani-
nous vote of thanks was extended to
Mr.. Strain for the able and concise
manner in which he presented the
facts and arguments on the side of
the assessors and the able manner in
which he readily refuted every argu-
ment OF the railroads.
The meeting between the counties
and the representative of o. r. & N.
was most cordial and the best of feel
ing prevailed. the arguments being
made on statistics and absolute facts

Persistence Of Superstition.

Youths Companion.
Superstition dies hard, even in the
keen light of modern civilization. The
beliefs which educated persons would
CONFESS if they told the truth would
make an an amazing category. Women
are worse sinners in this respect than
men. 1t is bard to find the woman
who has the courage to pass pin CD
the sidewalk or to walk under a ladder.
On a crowded street, where going I'M
der ladder was easy and going outside
of it involved plunge among throng
of wheels and hoofs, eighty women
chose the outside and dangerous path
before one made her untelrified way
beneath tho ladder-and the supersti-
ton.
Doubtless the quacks ard charlatAns
OF the world could tell strange tales OF
the credulity and superstitioons of their
customers. Recently at Chatham,
England, woman paid an alleged
witch a hundred pounds for a powder,
the burning of which was to bring her
. great fortune.
A London magistrate had before him
this winter man and woman who
lived with their six children In q small
room, and kept dozen rabbits loose in
the same room, as a preventative Il
The charge against
them was OF cruelty to animals, not OF
cruelty to children-but the parents
we're unconyinced, although they were
convicted and fined.
The grosser forms of superstition
shock us more than the mild and fan
tastic ones like those clustering about
the moon, the saltseller, the ladder and
the pincushion but all alike have a
baneful effect upon character. Mothers
cannot intellectually teach their
children reliance upon law and order
while they themselves believe that
Witchcraft controls some of the most
trivial accidents of human life.

Three Millions Did Not Vote.

C1evelaad Leader.
The increase of the population OF
the United States has been at least L.
100000 year on the average, for the
past eight years. In that time the
gain in the whole number of inhabl-
tants has been fully 100000. It may
have been 100000 or more. The
number OF legally qualified voters is
always more than 20 per cent. of the
population. In 1896 the number OF
votes cast was over 100000, and
there were not more than 68 100000
people in the country. Even in that
year OF fierce campaigning 500 900 or
100000, mainly In the south, did
not vote. The increase In the voting
population from 1896 to 1904 was Ger
tainly more than 100000, although
the heavy immigration OF the last four
years has made the proportion OF non
voters in the recent growth abnormally
great. Two million immigrants have
not bad time to be naturalized. If the
total vote of this year had been as near
the full legal strength of the voting
population ss the vote OF 1896 was,
there would haYe been a gain of more
than 100000. As 1t vas, the total
vote of 1904 fell about 437 600 below
that caet eight years ago. Hence it
follows that there were at least 5000
more stay at homes this year than in
1896. Counting the suppressed color
ed vote of the south it is safe to saw
that there were nearly, or quite, 5000
600 American citizens qualified to vote,
in the broad sense and disregarding
trick laws intended to limit the fran
chise Tor political purposes, who did
not 60 to the polls last November.
There are immense possibilities in
such huge reserve vote INFESTED in
the recent election. Obviously It Will

become so one-sided politically that
there will be no great interest in

The Educated Farmer.

Prof. Andrew NJ Soule in Southern Farm Maya
zine Of Baltimore
1t will pay any ouag msn to secure
all the education possible. A young
man can take short COURSE at cost
of nom $50 to $75, exclusive OF rail-
road fare. These courses, as rule, last
from 10 to IL weeks. They usually
begin In the winter, sometimes In Do
cember, but generally about the first
of January. This enables a young
man to obtain his training at season
of the year when he can do but little
else and still be ready to take up farm
work early in the spring.
These courses furnish man with a
vast amount of useful information, and
they have been established 50 long that
there is no longer any question about
their prac,icability. Ole young man
who took a course under the writer,
starting With comparatively little, has
developed large dairy business, and

county in which he resides as rising
man. Another young man Is manag-

Gently been taken into partnership,
and third is now engaged In raising
pure-bred cattle. Letters are received
every little while from farmers asking
for young men competent to take
charge OF various kinds of farms. These
men are willing and able to pay good
salaries to the right men. A young
man who is competent will receive
from $40 to $50 . month, and if no IL

in many instances secure an interest In
