1.-THE officers of the northwest Sec
ton of the National Irrigation asso-
citation stand ready to aid the work in
connection with the Palouse irrigation
project in every way that lies within
their power" stated c. Eugene Bortle.
secretary of the association, today.
Il returned from Spokane yesterday
and during my absence met several of
the officers who live there. Each one
whom I met seemed very much inter-
ested to learn that the commercial club
is taking hold of the subject, and they
believe we will accomplish actual re-
suits. If we can arrange for large
irrigation meeting here, a large dele
cation would come down from the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce.
"Of course, nothing can be done
without funds to work with, and it be-
hooves every business man of Walla
Walla to place his shoulder to the
wheel and assist with the movement,
and we hope to secure the hearty sup
port of every business man. Affidavits
are now being prepared for the sigma
lures of every land owner whose hold
ings will come under the proposed ir-
rigation canal; to the man who owns
and rents land to the producer him
self. These affidavits will be filled out
before witnesses and sworn to before
notary public. When this work is
made complete they will be sent to
Washington, D. c., by a representative
business man from this section of the
state, who will see that they are plac
ed in the hands of the proper officials.
This work takes money, and inasmuch
as there is not single individual but
what will derive benefits from the
construction of the Palouse irrigation
project. it is their duty to assist us in
this great movement"

cepting that he had every reason to
believe that Preston had been intend
ing to do him bodily harm, as he had
repeatedly threatened to kill him.
Also, that because of the threats by
Preston, he took his pistol with him
that evening.
In regard to his actions after the
shooting ne said:
CAS- soon as 1 had shot Preston l
went into Clark's house and telephoned
to Milton for a doctor, and also for a
constable to come and arrest me.
Then I got into my buggy and drove
towards Milton On the road I met
Constable Dykes, whom I presumed
was coming after me. However, he
had left town before I 'phoned, and
knew nothing of the case. 1 called him
over and told him about the case and
gave myself up. He then got into my
buggy and I gave him my gun, and we
drove into Milton. I did not know then
that Preston would die
According to Martin, he is 20 years
of age, and has been living at Milton
for the last II years, having come from
Iowa. His parents are Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Martin, and they live on a farm.
Besides Grover, there is another broth

saloon Keepers Will Not Sell LIQUOR
to the Sioux Tribe,

o~'oo" NeePeS VIII Not Sell Liquor
to the Sioux Tribe.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May 23.-
Chamberlain for some time has an an
opportunity to experience the effect
OF the recent decision of the supreme
court Of the United States to the ef-
feet that Indians who have taken lands
in severalty may purchase intoxicating
liquors without violation of law.
Hundreds of Indians who have Just
received their cash annuity have been
in town to invest their money, and
naturally there were many whose de-
sire took the direction Of liquid re-
freshments. Allotment certificates
were conveniently at hand to convince
dealers that the holder was entitled to
acquire Jag" Of any desired dimen-
sions. But they were all disappointed.
AS a solution of the difficulty and
responsibility the decision places on
border towns. all Chamberlain liquor
dealers has decided to refuse Indians
liquor as before. This is done as a
protection in several respects. To
many. all Indians look alike, and it is
stated that instances have been noted
where allotment papers appeared in
more than one set of hands, and dis
pensers of liquors would have to have
a personal acquaintance with the red
men to be sure they were handing out
liquor only to those affected by the
supreme court decision.
So far as this section is concerned
the decision is therefore likely to be-
come two-edged sword, for any In
dian who does manage to secure liq-
uor and takes it upon the reservation
will be subject to prosecution the same
as white men, and instead of being a
mere witness in the United States
court is likely to become principal.
