The difficulty and apparent impos-
sibility of enforcing the liquor law
where the Indians living on the va
kima reservation is one thing that
stands in the way of Frank Olney, SUI
san Swasey and Charles Wannassay
getting patents for their lands. in or
der that they may be converted into
townsite property. The further fact
that litigation arising out of the sale
and lease of these lands may result
II the patents are issued also stands
in the way; but the matter has been
referred back to Agent Jay Lynch for
further report. The outcome will be
watched for with interest by white
people who want to get possession of
land on the reservation, which the In
dams are now barred from disposing
of by the restrictions placed by the
government.
Congressman W. L. Jones. who pre-
scented the applications of the Indian
owners to the department. has received
the following letter from the acting
commissioner of Indian affairs. which
sets out the whole case plainly:
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1906.-Hon.
W. L. Jones, House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.-Sir: Under date Of
Nay 81, 1906 you enclosed the appli-
cations of Frank Olney. Susan Swasey

ma reservation. Authority to issue
these patents was granted by the act

MADE A SPLENDID
SHOWING ON RANGE
SAARpSAOOTERS OF COMPANY {
Ran Their scores Away Up Notwith-
standing 81 Very High Wind
Was Blowing.

| Another trial for honors on the Sea-
girt rife team was held sunday after
noon on the Mckee rifle range two
! miles east of town.
/ \ series OF trials is being conducted
by General Drain. instead of only one
as heretofore very high wind was
blowing from ten to twenty miles an
hour directly across the range which
later in the day switched and came al
most directly straight toward the fir
ing point. This interfered greatly with
the shooting and caused lower scores
than usual to be made.
In the afternoon while the firing
on the 500 yard range was in progress
and before all the men had fred the
targets in the long range pit blew
down and could not be put in shape
for the rest of the day. This necessi-
tated not counting any of the scores
at that range.
The damage done to the targets was
slight and can be easily repaired and
put in shape for another trial next
Sunday. which is to be conducted by
General Drain in person.
Second Lieutenant a. c. Pierce, Ser
geant Major C. j. Iverson and Sergeant
l.. L. Bolles were on the sick list but
put in their appearance at the scene of
action.
The scores made were as follows:
