Socialists Win u Victory

The socialists won a victory in the
superior court yesterday afternoon.
the first that, has been secured by
them since the beginning of the ar
rests for obstructing the streets, says
the Seattle News. This was secured
in the action brought by the city
against Nina f. Wood. The case was
non-suited by Judge Frater. on the
motion of the defense after the testi-
mony of the state had been submitted.
The ruling was on the grounds that
in as much as the woman was not
standing on the sidewalk but rather
on the street, she could not have made
up one or the crowd that obstructed
the sidewalk, The complaint stated
that with some 200 others, she OBJ
structed the sidewalk.

That individual renters upon the
reservation may be allowed more than
| $40 acres of land if such is plainly
for the welfare of the Indians. is
shown by statement just given out
by the department of Indian affairs.
| The position of the government was
given in answer to request made
recently through United States Sena-
tor Ankeny. .
The statement of the department is
as follows: ~. .r ..-.- -...t.t.-f
"on September 6, 1905, the office
forwarded to the department report
from Robert G. Valentine, confiden-
tial clerk to the commissioner of In
dian affairs, recommending that the
rule limiting one lessee's holding of
farming land to $40 acres in so far
| as 1t related to the Umatilla reserya-
tion, be abolished; that in its place
no hard and fast ruling be made, but
as the present. leases expire, renters
who have been farming more than 64O
acres and wish to renew their leases
and continue this practice be made to
show clear good to the Indian as a
reason why they should be permitted
to do SO.
I'm view of this recommendation,
the department advised the office that
lessees on the lTmatilla reservation
will not hereafter, be subject to-. the
rule IF limiting one person, firm or
corporation to $40 acres. The lessees
who show a disposition to cooperate
with the letter and spirit of this pur-
pose Of the government in helping the
Indians to secure homes for them
selves and means whereby they may
gain subsistence, will he permitted
to lease in excess of $40 acres.
ITO get a start in the way of self
support an Indian needs a garden,
orchard and some COWS. He also
needs to have a we'll dug and to have
house built for himself and shelter
for his stock, Improvements should
be provided for as the principal part
of the consideration in every lease
where one person, firm or, corporation
leases more than. $40 acres. and an
agreement to. make such, improve
ments In addition to the money rental
should he included in the lease con-
tract" .,.... ,..
In q general way it has been known
in the past that the governments at
utude ,waseas. indicated above. How
ever, no definite statement upon he
subject has ever been published be-
lore Asf-theRe-ies- -lseea- much specu-
latton rs to just how much the leas-
ing of sJnQPe than $40 acres has beSn

who for l . days faced death, was res
eued saturday evening by gang of
his fellow miners who had worked
incessantly to. save him.
He was taken out through a tun-

mountain, intersecting at right angles
the bottom of the shaft where Hicks
was imprisoned. Every inch of this
sO-foot tunnel was driven during the
Is days of Hicks imprisonment

u Last Days Rescue Work. |
Hicks could have been rescued
earlier in the day, but his friends were
not willing 40 permit him to take the
chance OF crawling through the hole
,Nder the car which pinned him.
Hicks himself told the miners that he
feared that the drifts of gravel and
rock might slip down With q slight
jolung. All day long bits OF timber
and pebbles fell upon the imprisoned
miner and the rescuers We're forced
for the fifth time to change their
plans. a tunnel was built out of tim-
Der to the cavern where he was im-
