Problem in squatter Sovereignty.

The land between the high water
mark and the meander line establish
ed by the government has been appro.
priated by Attorney C. H. Baldwin at
point near the Cox rapids and Is
now being held by a squatter's right.
Mr.. Baldwin has established his resi-
dence on the property by the erection
of a tent, and will commence the erec-
ton of home next week. The tract
is highland and comprises eight or 10
acres of valuable land.
"I have not entered the ground with
a vie wof litigation with parties hold
ing deeds for property in the vicinity
of my claim" said Attorney Baldwin
this morning, land IL I am in the
wrong It will not be necessary to COM
mence ejectment proceedings, but
show me my error and I will with
draw and willingly pay for all dam
age.
"I have caused a survey of the
ground to be made and have run out
the maander according to the notes
Of the government survey, and find
the tract I claim to be unsurveyed
land. have also looked up the rec
ords Of the deeds for property in that
locality and find their description
reads from some permanent location
to the meander line of the Snake river
and for that reason can see no con-
flict with the claims of the people who
own the adjoining land"
The tract appropriated by Mr.. Bald
win is estimated to be worth 10000
to $4,000, and the outcome of his
claim will be watched with much in

MAJOR D. c. EDWARDS HAS BEEN
SUSTA|NTED BY INDIAN COMMISSION

refusals have been made: that the
superintendent has a large amount OF
work to do with limited assistance,
and he cannot b expected to take up
trivial matters.
The supervisor says that factions
exist to a considerable extent among
the Indians on the Umatilla reserva-
ton. and that sometimes the feeling
runs quite high: that there is a pro-
gressive party which is slightly in the
majority, and a non-progressive par
ty led by you and others who are op-
posed to all progress and continue to
wear the hair long and often unkempt,
and wish to continue all the old-time
customs; that you and your following,
including perhaps 100 Walla Walla
Indians, desire to have division
of the tribal funds and withdraw from
the reservation and control of the
agent. He does not know whether
this is idle talk or not, but under
such step be permitted.
The supervisor says that nothing in
the conduct of the superintendent to
be condemned but much to commend,
and recommends that he be continued
in charge of the Umatilla reservation
and sustained in his efforts to correct
the many abuses and Irregularities,
| and there is every reason to believe
| he will be successful.
l have gone thus fully into the re-
| port of the supervisor to show you,
oe tha Nf Ia e,f,r.
factions, how your action in these
matters is regarded. and you must
distinctly understand that so long as
| Superintendent Edwards obeys the
| orders of the department and its rules
and regulations he will be upheld by
this office. As leaders of the people
| the sooner you ally yourselves with
the progressive element and under
| stand that the old customs and con-
ditions must pass away the sooner
will you be able to live in harmony
with whites and Indians and with
those who are placed in charge Of af-
fairs for your protection.
Your complaints have been given a
very thorough investigation, and
hereafter, any that you submit mus
be of such a character as to justify
this office in taking them up. l can
not have the superintendent and the
progressive. well-meanings Indians an.
noyed by these frequent Investigations
of charges which are groundless and
inspired either by ignorance or malice
I shall see that the Indians are pro-
tected by Superintendent Edwards
and that he does not treat them un-
justly. and in all the lawful efforts he
may make to advance your interests
against schemers and grafters he will
be upheld. Very respectfully,

GRADERS FIND CURIOUS.
PetrifIed Fish and Charcoal Found
Deep Under the Surface.

The graders on the Spokane & In
land Electric road are said to be un-
earthing some queer relics, reports
coming from Steptoe canyon that ami
NAL bones have been dug up at depth.
But reports of these findings are as
nothing compared to the relics said to
have been brought to light on Cab
bage flat, where Henry Knerr and
william Spores have contract grad
ing on the electric line.
The other day, while plowing on
the flat three feet below the surface
a petrified fish was turned over by
the plowshare, and a couple of days
later while making a cut through a
hill layer Of charcoal was discovered
Is feet below the surface, says the

When the chacoal was picked up 1t
crumbled away into dust, but not so

hard as flint.

working for small salaries. Last fall,
when the excitement over the discov-
cries in the vicinity of Goldfields was
at its height, they determined to try
to make their fortune there.
Accordingly the brother was dis
patched to Nevada with the under
standing that he was to prospect the
country on a grub stake basis. the
sister and father to pay his expenses,
and all three to share alike in what
ever he might find.
In February the brother located g
few claims and started to prospect
them. They showed surprisingly well.
and in April the father left Spokane
to assist his son in handling the pro-
ject.
After long negotiations and many
disappointments it is announced the
mine was sold last week for s15O,0OO

Saturday in a telegram, and early

Leo Weaver, the cowboy musician,
returned yesterday from Alberta,
where he went several weeks ago with
the shipment of horses made by w. H.
Babb. While in Canada Mr.. Weaver
was not highly impressed with the cli-

there It was cold and rainy, much to
the discomfort Of those in charge OF
the big band of horses. Also, he says
that the mosquitoes are thick and are
provided with longer beaks than any
he ever saw before. In view of these
and the bad weather, Mr.. Weaver says
Alberta did not appeal to him, and he
is glad to be once more in Gods
country"

The ART of tdlinS.

Cultivate the art Of idling. There Is
no doubt that to he able to idle at will
is most valuable gift and one which
is becoming rarer every day. The art
of loaiing is not properly understood
by the majority of people Much has
been written on the subject. Steyen-
son dealt with it in an essay; Mr..
Kenneth Grahame touched on it in
Pagan Papers" and Mr.. Barry Pain
has some illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book.
There is subtle difference between
the views of these experts. Mr.. Ora
hame advocated absolute iIlcnC5s.
Mr.. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art of loafing was to do
the easiest thing and that sometimes it
IS easier to work than to he idle. This
is the secret of the whole matter. The
superficial idler thinks ii his duty to
be idle on every OCCASION The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this is an entirely erroneous
view. There are tlucS when we feel
that we must be up and doing. If we
sternly repress this inclination oar
peace is disturbed. The really scicn-
tifc idlcr is the man who can idle ut

1t was as big rs Il bureau and made no

was made in America. Its inventor

writer was not practical. The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes in 1867. Sholes had for
