the YAKIMA INDIANS
ACQUIRE MORE LAND
Western Boundary Of Reservation as
Recently Established Includes
04,O41 Acres More Land.

In recent dispatch from Washing
ton, bearing upon the old dispute in
regard to the western boundary line
of the Yakima reserve, the Spokes-
man-Review published the following;
Since the treaty with the Yakima
Indians of June 9th, 1885, by which
they were given the lands included
within the Yakima reservation, there
has been a standing dispute with
reference o the western boundary of
the reservation. To settle the dis
pute E. c. Barnard, a topographer of
the geological survey, was detailed in
January, 1900, to make a survey of
this disputed boundary line, which
he did. with the result that he found
that the Indians were not claiming
as much land as should have been
granted them by the treaty of 1885.
This treaty placed the line still fur
ther west. and gave the Indians Ca
041 acres of land more, making in all
357,S7s acres of which they had been
deprived.
Prior to his leaving the city, about
the last call Congressman Jones made
was on the commissioner of Indian
affairs in regard to the disputed
boundary line. Commissioner Loupp
previously had suggested to the con-
gresham that he introduce a bill
with reference to the 64,O41 acres,
the other 293,S37 acres having been
granted to the Indians by Mr.. Jones
bin opening the reservation to sale
and entry, and to submit the matter
to the court of claims to determine
the right of the Indians to the land.
After thinking over the suggestion
Mr.. Jones could not see any reason
for the introduction of the bill, and
so assured the commissioner.
The congressman claimed the land
office had already recognized the
right of the Indians to this tract of
land, as it had the power to rectify
it's own error and recognize the Ind
ians' title. this part of the PROPOSE
ton really did not require any legis-
lation, although the disposition of
the lands would have to be provided
for by an act of congress. He also
said that there could not be any ques-
zion as to the rights of the Indians,
and the department certainly could
rescind any action 1t heretofore had
taken If no adverse rights had in
tervened. and that by recognizing
the rights of the Indians, in accord
ance with the true boundary, as
found by Mr.. Barnard, action in the
court of claims would be avoided and
the Indians would be saved the pay
ment of attorneys fees. etc.
The Indian office now has the mat
ter under consideration, and expects
to render a decision within a few
days.

YAKIMA PEOPLE
Visited

b. J. Kohls of North Yakima, bro
Their of the members of the firm of
the Kohls Shoe Company, was here
to look over the town yesterday with
view to putting in a stock. He
thinks Prosser is destined to be big
town, and will now support an ex-
elusive shoe store. AS Henry Kohls
was here during the winter and ex-
pressed the same opinion, 1t is prob
able that Tie Kohls boys will engage
in business here. They are good
firm, and Prosser would be fortu-
nate to get them. H. w. Sprague
of North Yakima, late of the firm of
Cowing & Sprague, was here Sunday
to visit George A. Stoltz. Mr..
Sprague was favorably impressed
with the business outlook for Pros
ser, and it would not be surprising
to see him locate here. Stanley
Coffin came down from North Yak
ina Monday to look over the local
wool situation, his firm being in the
market as buyers. 1t has already
made several purchases here. paying
from I 5 to 16h cents. according to
quality.-Prosser Bulletin.

Question of Bonds.
AS early as 1s96-and probably before
that time-the question of personal bonds
was recognized as a serious one-the Com
missioners in their annual report for 1886
taking coGnizance of It In the following
language:
"A more serious embarrassment is report
ed by the attorney, the major and superin-
tendent of police and the health officer in
their efforts to enforce important health
ordinances and police regulations, by the
refusal OF the Police Court. after convic-
ton, to enforce the penalty imposed by law,
the personal bonds of the offender being
taken in lieu thereof"
Many times since then has the subject
been agitated, but the fact still obtains, 1t
is alleged, that a first offender almost
Invariably secures immunity from punish
ment, known as personal bonds upon his
promise to obey the law, and this, it Is de-
clared despite the evidence adduced that
he or she may have had ample opportunity
to avoid the court scene by meeting the
requirement set down in the formal notice
served by the sanitary inspector or other
authorized official.
A summary of conditions obtaining for
most of this year, up to the end OF last
week. in fact, shows that sanitary inspec
tors of the health office have had total
of 313 cases tried and disposed of in the
Police Court since February IS. 1905. OF
that number siXty-seven defendants were
convicted and fined, thirty-two acquitted
and PA although convicted, were released
on personal bonds" In 100 cases con-
tinuances Were granted. and in consequence
the inspectors were required to attend court
two or more times before one case was
finally settled.

Foreigners Strange Actions Cause His
Arrest and Confinement in Asylum.

The queer conduct OF young man in
front of the White House yesterday after
noon about o'clock attracted the attention
, of number of pedestrians, and quite
crowd gathered to watch him. His accent
clearly indicated that he was a foreigner,
and his words showed that he imagined he
was drilling a company of soldiers. When
he had given the order to break ranks he
walked briskly to the door of the executive
mansion and met Policeman Rotchford.

caller
For what?" the policeman asked.
The visitor explained that he was here on
mission from the French government, and
exhibited a small package, which, he said,
contained his credentials. He declined to
state the nature of his business. but did say
he thought there were too many windows
in the building and that the President was
thereby too much exposed
AT the first precinct police station he gave
his name as Louis Grajohns, said he was
thirty-five years old and that his home 10 at
Falls Church, Va. When questioned by the
police surgeons today the young man would
only say that he was an ambas sador from
the French government. His business he
stated was with the President, and NOT
with the doctors, and he therefore refused
to disclose the nature of 1t to the latter.
The surgeons passed upon him as being
insane and he was sent to the asylum.
