"ToUCIIT' BUTTE FOR 100000.
Clever Swindler Worked Among the
Exclusive Set"

A clever swindler has victimized
merchants here to the extent of $3O,-
900, says a Butte dispatch. He has
gone, or at least his victims believe
he has, to Los Angeles, where the po-
lice have been notified to look out for
B. Warner Rice, self-styled "prezident
and general manager" with offices in
the Lancashire building in Los An
geles, Investigation by the Los An
geles police so far have failed to dis
cloze his whereabouts.
About a year ago smooth stranger
appeared in Butte with credentials
from "the American Mutual Invest
ment company" San Francisco. He
gave his name as b. Warner Rice, and
occupied palatial quarters in the best
hotel, and apparently was well financt
and successful. The bonds he sold
were on a. get-rich-quick plan, and
found an early market, and, It is said
that more than $4,000 was taken
from bizness men In Butte.
Rice suddenly disappeared from
Butte and the next heard from him
was in Los Angeles. One of his VIC
Tins here notified the Los Angeles
police department, but so far the lat
ter have been unable to find any trace
of him. The federal authorities are
also said to be after him.

HORDE OF HINDUs COMING,
Vanguard of East Indian Immigration
Reaches Washington.

The vanguard of horde of Hindus
that is about to pour into the United
States from British Columbia has
reached Bellingham, says Seattle
dispatch. So dangerous a peril to the
American laborer are these foreigners
believed to be that the labor men in
Bellingham have signed a petition to
their employers to cease hiring the
East Indians.
The dusky men have swarmed into
that vicinity, 1t is declared. and have
taken positions in mills and are
crowding the white men from their
work. 1.-The feeling among the labor
organizations is bitter" states one re-
port. Dire threats have been made
to the effect that the foreigners must
be exterminated before they crowd
out the whites, and an open race war
fare is looked for unless the manag-
ments of the mills take some action.
''The Hindus have formed colony
of shacks in poor part of the city
and are able to live on an exceedingly
meager fare. They are said to be poor
workers and are paid for handling
lumber 50 per day. Just what action
the big mills will take in the matter
Is not known at this time. The en-
ployers say the foreigners are hired
owing to the scarcity of men,"

the same stream above prior users
and thus cause another law suit and
endless litigation.
The need is for a law determining
and establishing water titles-for the
measurement of the flow of every
stream and making a permanent rec
ord of the right with a grant from the
state conveying or confirming title, as
the case may be, and for rules govern
ing the use of water and for officers
with authority to enforce them
This all important question was the
subject Of an address at the recent
irrigation congress at the Pendleton
fair by John II. Lewis, state engineer,
who takes a deep, enthusiastic inter-
est and broad view of 1t. In discuss
ing the question, he presented some OF
the reasons why Oregon at the next
session of the legislature should enact
water laws based on the experience of
other states that have a more satis-
factory system.

PIANOS FOR INDIA.
Calcutta Dealers say American In
struments do Not Suit Climate.


Consul General William II. Michael
of Calcutta, is in receipt of an inquiry
from New York firm of piano man.
ufacturers desiring information about
that line of trade in India. The firm
states that they ARE much enthused
over the daily consular ana trade re-
ports, which they receive constantly
and would like to get their line rep
resented in India" To this letter Mr.
Michael replied as follows:
There are several dealers here OF
about the same Importance, all doing
a large trade in sales and renting. The
renting of pianos in Calcutta, and per-
haps in other large cities in India, is
large and important feature of the
piano business. Europeans come and
go, and rather than purchase a piano
they rent by the month or by the
year.
The dealers rent pianos and agree
to keep them in tune and 10 look af-
ter them for so many rupees (rupee
equals 32.4 cents) per month. The
rentals range from 12 to so rupees
per month, according to the class OF
instrument. An average priced in
strument, of good make and tune,
rents for 25 rupees per month, which
includes tuning and repair.
When / came here / visited several
different piano houses and tried to
rent an American-made piano. /
was told that I would hardly be able
to get satisfactory American-made
instrument in the city. / asked the
reason why, and was told that Ameri-
can instruments were no longer han
died by dealers in Calcutta.
The explanation was that American
pianos were found to be unsuited, ow-
ing to their construction and the ma
terials used in their construction, to
the climate of India. The dealers
said that American goods have been
tried and found to be unsuited, and
that English and German manufac-
turers had Investigated the needs of
India in respect to musical instru-
ments, and were building instruments
that met the conditions so we'll that
dealers no longer paid any attention to
AhieIlCdh-ililduldC lHSlrumentS.
The statement is that the wood ma
terial used yields too readily to the
humid climate of India and that the
construction is faulty. One particular
referred to was that the keys were
too close together and other parts so
constructed that the Inevitable SWELL
ing of wood made the piano useless;
also that the sounding board was not
made in such a way as to resist the
effects of continued dampness.
American manufacturers, of course,
could do precisely what European
manufacturers have done. and proba-
bly, do still better, as has been done
in other fields. The country is so
large and so inviting that it is worth
considering.

Chinese children and gathered a horde
of a hundred terrified Chinese men
and women when Chinatown became
a ruin. And here she chooses to pass
her honeymoon with a man of alien

Ella Clemens acknowledges Sun
