Peace Now ReignS.

After warnings for more than a hun.
dred years, in which time thousands
of lives have been sacrificed and the
greater portion Of the Washoe and
Piute Indian tribes wiped out, peace
has been declared between those tribes.
This arrangement was brought about
by Capt. Pete, head chief Of the Washoe
tribe, and Capt. Dave, head chief Of the
Piute tribe. They met in Reno, Nevada,
and through Johnny Kay, Capt. Dawes
lieutenant, the two old warriors shook
hands and for an hour or moro over
the pipe Of peace discussed the plans
that led to the ending Of hostilities.
Now they are planning big peace
dance. 1t will take place at Sparks,
and for six days both tribes will join
In celebrating the big event. The Piutes
once constituted one of the largest
tribes In the Northwest and the Washoe
tribe was a close second.

posure of his wrongdoing was made,
then he must have welcomed death as
a happy issue out of all his trouble.
He was an old man. He had sounded
the depths and shadows of life. He
had run the gamut Of human emotions.
| He had felt the glorious thrills of tri-
| umph and the pangS of disappointed
ambition. He had associated, the
world around, with the men who give
impetus and tongue to the uplifting
thoughts of mankind that are hurry
ing us on to civilization that will
eventually realize the poets dream of
Utopia.
What he must have suffered in his
last days-what devils peopled his
brain, what repinings of what might
have been must have depressed his
soul-who can imagine these let alone
tell about them? Napoleon fretting
out his proud life on st. Helena never
was as unhappy as John II. Mitchell
must have been while suffering
the stings of humiliation after expos
ure and conviction came with a
suddenness that carried him to the
depths Of despair. He told more than
one Senator who had seen him since
his trouble that he would never go to
Jail"
Had there been attempt to consider
resolutions Of respect for the memory
of Senator Mitchell it is likely. that
there would have been objection.
There is precedent for such action,
for when Senator Broderick, of Cali
tornia, was killed in duel with Judge
Terry, of that State, resolutions of re-
spect were offered in the Senate. They
were opposed by Senator Foster, of
Connecticut, and the resolutions were
referred to a committee and never
were heard from afterward.

almost pure gold, taken from lode

not great distance from Seattle, w.
e. Bartlett and M. G. Black, both well
known local business men, are reported
back after perilous trip to the Cas-
cades.
Theirs, however, was labor richly
rewarded, though the story is so in.
terwoven with spiritualism and ro-
nance that it is well-nigh incredible.
Bartlett is the grandson of d. e. In
gels, miner of the early '50s in those
parts, who was murdered in the hills
by his partner. The Bartlett family
are spiritualists, and Bartlett declares
that his dead and murdered grand
father, through a Portland medium,
appeared to, him and described how
he could find the lost mine and that he
would be Independent for life.
Bartlett asserts positively that he
received specific directions from the
spirit of his grandfather how to pro-
ceed to the lost mine. Moreover, he
was told to select M. G. Black to ac-
company him. The men will not tell
of the location of their find, but say
it cannot be reached save by making

In a rough and mountainous section,
they say, they found gray quartz
ledge, literally filled with precious
metal. Small pieces were broken of,
pounded up in frying pan which they
had with them and the gold picked out.
Should the ledge prove as rich as the
samples, or even quarter as rich, a.
man could pan out in a weeks time
enough of the gold to make him
wealthy. o.

Upon the completion of his course

hGrand White House Wedding In Mid
February elimination of Romano,
BeIieveG'to Have Occurred on Ocear
Voyage.
There is to be another wedding in the
White House, and society at the capi
cal Is already looking forward to what
undoubtedly will be the most brilliant
event in the history of the mansion.
1t is just about two years since Rep
resentative Nicholas Longworth, o1
;. Cincinnati, began to lay siege to the
heart Of the charming daughter of the
President, and his attack has been un'
remitting Now he has captured the
heart of Miss Alice, and will lead her
TO the altar in mid-February.
Several times during the last year
Mr.. Longworth's engagement to Miss
Roosevelt was rumored, but it was
never confirmed, and the social world
began to conclude that a warm friend
ship was about all that existed between
them.
Chance of a Lifetime.
Ut was when Miss Roosevelt deter
mined to accompany Secretary Taft's
party to the Orient that Mr.. Longworth
apparently saw his crowning opportu-
nifty, and he forthwith became one of
the party. Throughout the jaunt his
attentions to the daughter Of the Pres
tdent were more marked than ever be-
fore, for in his wooing he had the ad-
vantage Of being the only courtier in
the field.
Though his friends now say that
they had observed the CLINT of a glori-
Gus victory in his eyes when he re-
turned from the long voyage, he never
confided his triumph to soul, and the
drst information of the engagement

Will Tour Europe.
1t Is expected that after their mar
riage the distinguished couple will take
leisurely trip throughout Europe.
They will, OF course, be certain of a
splendid reception everywhere, espe-
cially in all the capitals of the Old
World.
Miss Roosevelt has never been in
Europe, although she has had several
opportunities and invitations,' notably
when she was invited by Mrs. White
law Reid when Mr.. Reid went to Eng
land as special ambassador at the cor
onation Of King Edward.
In Paris, too, the Longworths are
certain Of lavish entertainment, as Mr..
Longworths sister, the Viscountess de
Chambrun, lives there.
Miss Roosevelt, who is the only child
OF the Presidents first marriage, will

M1s. William S. Cowles, who was then
Miss Anna Roosevelt, and to the pres
ent day is as much the child of Mrs.
Cowles' affection as though she were
her daughter Instead of her niece.
Her Debut in Washington.
Miss Roosevelt made her debut at a
ball given in the great East Room
early in January, 1902, since which
date she has enjoyed a succession OF
attentions never before offered any
American girl.
At the Worlds Fair In st. Louis
when she was the guest Of Miss Catlin
Miss Roosevelt was admired by thou
sands who saw her, and was voted a
true type Of the American girl. Thou.
sands followed her wherever she went
but her demeanor did not indicate that
she was any more than a plain Amer
lean. Her sweet smile completely cap
tivated the throng, and In st. Louis or
the West the Presidents daughter will
always be welcome.
Mr.. Longworth is the only son OF the
late Nicholas Longworth, one Of the
great millionaires OF the West. His
mother inherited all Of the estate OF his
ftther.
Wholesome Sort of Man.
The future son-in-law Of the Presi-
dent is an enthusiastic lover of outdoor
sports, as his splendid physical devel-
opment plainly indicates. He Is an ex-
pert on the golf links, cross-country
rider, a good marksman with shotgun
and rife, and veteran fisherman. At
Harvard he was member Of the

years subsequently rowed In the class

The Secretary's rugged honesty and

out the despoilers and the grafters
who are looting the agricultural and

| BY Richard II. Byrd.
It is rumored that among probable
Cabinet changes Secretary Hitchcock
is to shortly retire from the Interior
Department of which he has been the
head since the second Mckinley ad-
ministration. 1t will be recalled that
more or less definite statements as to
Mr.. Hitchcock's retirement and his
probable successors have been Of very
frequent and regular occurrence, but
the reason therefore is probably not
hard to find. Mr.. Hitchcock has made
very great Secretary Of the Interior.
He has torn to pieces vast fabric
constructed to steal, not acres, but
square miles of the public lands, to
grab from the government great tracts
worth millions of dollars. The land
grabbers have been men in high po-
sitions; they have employed perjury,
bribery and forgery, to say nothing of
more forceful crimes to defraud their
country Their ring was backed by
wealthy and influential men and in
cluded members of the legislatures,
United States Commissioners, special
land agents, notaries, etc. The trail
even led to the head of the General
Land Office, into the national House of
Representatives and into the United
States Senate. The loose land laws Of
the country made their task possible If
not easy.
Crime In High Places.
Secretary Hitchcock, shortly after he
became q member of the Cabinet, had
his attention called to evident frauds
in the requirement of government
land. He set to work a quiet investi-
CATION. 1t finally eliminated in the
indictment of great numbers Of people
and in the recent conviction of a
United States Senator and a Member
mination is not yet. No man knows
where the trail may lead next or how
much evidence Mr.. Hitchcock has and
is working up.
1t is stated to have been a good deal
of surprise to the wiseacres at
Washington, and in fact throughout
the country, TO see the way in which
the Secretary of the Interior has made
good" in his land fraud prosecutions.
1t was never supposed last winter
that the government could ever secure
a convicion Of any Congressman or
Senator in Oregon. 1t was announced
that the Secretary had been lily ad-
vised and had gotten himself into a
deep hole, the outcome of which would
be disastrous to himself.
Tried to Have Him Removed.
The Secretary remarked on several
occasions that the land frauds were
astounding in their magnitude but
that he proposed to stop them. He
was laughed at but just the same
some of the land grabbers began to
get little nervous and the newspaper
rumors began, to the effect that Sec
retary Hitchcock would probably re-
sign-in the course of two or three
after he had finished with GER
tain investigations being made at
that time. But the Investigations have
never been finished. Before one batch
Of frauds has been disposed Of,
another sensation has been sprung in
some other state so that there has
never been a time when a change in
the Interior Department would not
have been hailed as a victory for the
land grabbers.

Mitchell, of Oregon. Yet there is no
body of men on earth which is a great
er stickler for ceremony governed by
precedent than is the United States
Senate. But the Mitchell case pre-
sented unique situation. The official
recognition of the death Of Senator
is always a solemn and affecting pro-
ceeding, but even the usual funeral
rites were omitted in this instance.
The Oregon Senator had been convict
ed OF grave crime against the gov
ernment. Excepting Senator Burton,
of Kansas, no other members Of the
Senate has ever had to face a criminal
court trial. The Senate has expelled
members and has often exercised its
constitutional prerogative of unseating
a Senator, but with the two exceptions
above stated, it has never been con-
fronted with such a situation as was
forced upon the public attention by
Senators from Oregon and Kansas.
The Vice-President, who is the
President of the Senate. did not ap-
point the usual committee to attend
the funer i held in Portland, Ore.
Senator Fulton, the sole representative
Of Oregon left in Congress, had intend
ed presenting a brief resolution, re-
citing the death of his colleague, and
asking that the Senate adjourn as a
mark Of respect, but even this was not
done. Not even was the desk which
the late Senator occupied yelled in the
heavy mourning drapery as is the GUS
tom. In a word, the Senate. in sad
ness, passed over the death Of its for
mer Senator as quietly and unostenta-
tiously as possible. There have been
no eulogies. His successor, appoint
ed by Governor Chamberlain, a DEM
ocrat, comes to Washington from the
far Pacific slope and the sovereign
State of Oregon will again have its
full representation in the Senate.
Seats Vacant in the House.
Oregon's representation in the
House will remain vacant until the
courts have finally passed upon the
indictments and trials Of the States
two Representatives, Messrs. Binger
Hermann and John Newton William
son. Mr.. Williamson already has been
convicted by Federal Court of Of
fenses similar to those for which Sen
ator Mitchell was made to suffer, and
is now awaiting the outcome of the
appeal Of his case, as was Senator
WHSu
lieved him Of further humiliation and
woe.
Mr.. Hermann Is yet to be tried. It
thus happens that there was no one
in the House from Oregon to make for
NAL announcement to that body of the
death of Senator Mitchell, so that no
official attention was paid the incident.
There is so little that can be said
Of the strange, tragic, pitiful case of
Senator Mitchell that the men of the
Senate who knew him best, who liked
him best, who had served in that great
forum with him longest. and who are
most grieved at the sad ending of his
career, have been disinclined to speak
of him at all.
