Talking with a Statesman reporter
yesterday Mr., Young said:
Some time ago / read an article
about horse being 33 years old and
in good shape, but / think can beat
that some, as ] have Travelled around
the country a great deal and have seen
several old ones. For instance, Mr..
Mcdaniel of Rickreall, has mare
that was SO years old last spring and
is in use yet and looks as II she might
be good four or five years yet. She
comes to Salem and goes to Dallas
once each week.
"A Mr.. White of the same place has
a horse that is 35 years old. There is
a mare at Perrydale that was 81 last
spring. Mr.. Falkner of Sheridan, had
her in his livery stable for number
of years, afterward traded to black
smith at Perrydale, who bred her to a
thoroughbred and she now has n fine
filly at her side.
zone mare l know of at The Dalles
Is 81. She is owned by French &
Company, bankers, and last March
when saw her she made Mr.. French
a good driving horse, and was without
blemish. ] dressed her mouth and
found as good pair of molars as
ever saw in a horse years old"

Doesn,s Know Where He Is At.

John Rea, of this city, is goodnatur-
edly figuring himself out of a perplex-
ing situation. A short time ago he
secured license to conduct a saloon
at Kamiah, and paid 5000 into the
county treasury. He purchased stock
of liquors and had the same shipped
TO Kamiah. Upon the shipment reach
ing that point the Northern Pacific
learned that the consignment was
liquor and refused to permit 1t to
leave the station. The reservation
liquor law denies the railroad the right
to deliver liquor on the reservation,
and II seems the railroad company is
not resting on the decision Of the cir
cult court of appeals, which has de-
cIared the law unconstitutional, but is
awaiting the decision of the supreme
court on the matter. Mr.. Rea was
therefore compelled to have his liquor
shipped back to Lewiston and II is
now stored here. Still another prob
lem has to be solved by him. The old
Kamiah townsite is located on allotted
Indian land, and even II the supreme
court sustains the circuit decision,
LIQUOR cannot be sold there. Mr.. Rhea
offers the philosophy that just at pres
! ent he Is unable to state the exact
condition of his case because he must
| first learn whether he is at Kamiah
/ Lewiston or in the county treasury

COSTLY ILLUSTRATION.
0orOners jury Touched OFF $4,000
Worth of Powder.

For tho sake of illustrating con-
tested point 20 coroner's jury at
IJniontown, Pa. a few years ago, 1000
kegs of powder, valued at about slO.-
coo. was exploded by a powder COM
pany
The shock of the explosion was felt
IN several surrounding townships, ana
there was great excitement throughout
this end of the county. as 1t was be-
heved a disaster had occurred.
The coroner's jury. which has been
sitting on the cases of IL persons
killed in the explosion at Fairchance
September .. had experienced a de-
sire for information as to the direction
IN which the exploding powder exert
ed its greatest force. The powder
comrany has taken the stand that the
bjg magazines which exploded Septem-
ber Q were exploded by some agency
outside the magazines.
They allege that a person having a
spite at the concern had placed and
exploded under the magazines con-
tanning 10000 kegs of powder some
other explosive. either illuminate oi
mercury or nitrolglyccrine. In de-
fense of this il was alleged that pow
der in exploding does not tear hoie'
In the ground and the company or
fered to prove this by practical dem
onstration to the coroner's jury.
The coroner's jury retired to dis
tance and the battery was touched OH
The explosion rocked the entire town
shin and was heard as far as Con
nellsville. The powder company ther
showed that no hole had been torn II

amount of powder.

The enormous sum of 100000 will
be obtained from the government by
the Booth Kelley Lumber company
successors of the Oregon Central Mil
itary Road company. IL the recommen-
dations of a government agent are
favorably acted on by the interior de-
partment.
This great sum will be used to pur-
chase alternate sections of the COM
pany's lands in the klamath Indian
reservation, now settled on by Indians,
and which the corporation claims, by
right of a prior grant from the govern
ment.
There will doubtless be big three
cornered fight about the land before
the question of ownership is settled.
The state claims about 10000 acres
of it on account of its being swamp
rand, and therefore originally the
property of the state, which the gov
ernment had no right to grant either
to the company or Indians
The company claims the land by
grant of the federal government, in
return for the construction of a wagon
road across the southern part of the
state, and terminating at Eugene.
The Indians, about 1000 of them,
/ are now living on the land, in accord
ance with a treaty made with the gov
ernment, when the klamath reserva-
| ton was set aside for their use.
The supreme court of the United
| States has decided that the land in
dispute belongs to the wagon road
company. or its successors. the Booth
Kelley Lumber company. The grounds
are that the land became property oi
the company when it finished its road
i'm 1869. while the treaty giving the
reservation to the Indians was pro
claimed in 1870, one year later.
The state now purposes to enter tn
contest for the land, and will mos
likely bring suit to secure about 80,
600 acres, swamp land, which SHOULD
have never been handed over by tn
government.
The 100000 will be the award tn
government agent who has appraise,
the lands OF the company on whicl
Indians are settled, will recommen
that the government should make tn
company. in return for the relinquish
ment of the lands In question. Whethe
the award will be made depends on tn
view of the matter that will be take
by congress.
II IT does not receive compensation
for its lands the company declares
will take steps to oust the Indians. T
do so will be serious matter, as tn
red men have lived on the land for 3
years. and no amount of reasoning vii
ever convince them that they do no

ACKERMAN DISCUSSES FREE TEXT BOOKS

ton to the free textbook system are
in the main as follows:
First. the school district has per-
formed its whole responsibility
when it has provided each and every
child within its jurisdiction school
sites, school houses and good teachers
and all that pertains to good schools
except books. and that it is the duty
OF the parents to bear the burden of
furnishing the textbooks: that a great
principle is violated when the parent
is not so made to feel his responsible
ity in that he will lose interest and
fail to fully appreciate that for which
he has made no sacrifice. All are will
ling to concede, however, that it is the
duty of the district to furnish INDECENT
children with books. and most states
have made such provisions by legisla-
tive enactment.
Second, that the system deprives the
child of n sense of ownership, one of
the civic virtues that should be cul-
tivated early; that he will not feel
the same necessity of caring for the
property of the district as he would
of his own, and that of his own book
he may retain possession and prize
the highest of his possessions as a re-
membrance of his happy school days.
How many of us have book or
relic in our possession, and how hard
it would be for us to part with it? May
we not say that the ownership, and
hence the possible retention, may so
exert a moral influence on the child
that is rs great and far reaching; that
the aesthetic nature of the child is
sacrificed at the time when 1t is the
most esponsive-namely, when he has
Just been promoted from one book TO
another. and every sense is alert in
happy anticipation of that event which
can never come to him-the possession
of new book---b ygiving him book
which is more or les defaced instead
of one that is n delight to the eye.
Sanitary Conditions.
Third that the sanitary conditions
are not observed by the system of free
textbooks. as a child is forced to ust
a book that may have been used by
one not at all cleanly or by one afflict
ed by n contagious disease, and in al
probability transmitted by means o
the book. It is true that in mos
schools where the system is in vogu,
the books are periodically subjected t.
roasting process to minimize tn
danger of contagion but many parent
admit that there is n possibility of
germ or two which may not have beel
sufficiently roasted to make then
harmless. Then, again, whore the sys
tenn is general, many schools woul
entirely neglect to fumigate the book:
and all sanitary precautions be neg
locted with deadly results.
Favored In Some Cases.
; Summing up the arguments for an
against free textbooks, l am rathe
disposed to be not in favor of the sys
TEN in states having state uniformit
in the selection of its textbooks, br
would strongly incline toward its adoI
tion in all cases in which textbook
are adopted in any other manner.
:, is only fair to say, however, that S
far as l know no state or district hg
returned to the old method aftt
adopting the free textbook system
which is a strong argument in its Il
vor.
