shown in the cut. The posts are four
feet high and TO the top of these are
nailed crosspieces two feet long. On
the posts below the crosspiece is
strung a wire, and other wires on top
of the crosspieces at each end. This
makes three wires one foot apart. The
vine is trained straight up until II
reaches the middle wire and no shoots
are allowed to form between II and
the ground. The vine is tied to this

WALLAWAlLA MAN WINS MINING SUIT
L. G. Barron Declared One Sixth Own
er in Valuable Mine in British
Columbia.

L. G. Barron of Walla Walla is re-
ceiving congratulations from his
friends in this city over the recent de-
cision of the British Columbia supreme
court in a celebrated mining case that
has been in the courts some time. By
the decision Mr.. Barron is awarded
one-sixth interest in the Olympia cop
per mining claim near Princeton, in
the Similkamean country.
The property originally belonged to
the Morgan Wright syndicate. consist
ing of D. w. Morgan of Clarendon,
Emil F. Voight of Rossland, L. G. Bar
ron of Walla Walla and Joseph Wright
of Rossland. Voight was the manager
of the company, and it is alleged that
he attempted to deprive the cO-owners
of their interest. Voight was deposed
as manager and refusing to pay as
sessments levied by the company his
stock was sold at sheriff's sale, being
purchased by Wright.
Mrs. Weight sought to have the
courts give her the property on the
ground that she had relocated the
mines after the death of her husband,
and she had the only valid claim to
the property. After a hard and long
fight in the courts of British Column
bia she finally lost the case.

Suggestion For Distribution Of The
Public Lands.
DRAWING BY SLIPS IS SUGGESTED
WILL PROBABLY BE USED WHEN
coLvILLE RESERVATION Is
THROWN OPEN.

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the proposed opening of the
Colville Indian reservation as provided
for in the recent act of congress, and
not only the members of the WASH
ington delegation, but the interior de-
partment as we'll, are receiving let
the United States inquiring as to when
the opening will be made. is the report
that comes from Washington.
A few days ago the interior depart
ment received a letter from Congress
suggestions from one of his constitu-
ents by which the suggester thinks
reservation openings will be avoided.
1t is proposed that the interior de-
partment furnish a description Of each
quarter section in the whole tract on
a separate slip, one Querter section to
slip. Those slips are then to be
placed in a box from which they are
to be drawn one by one by the in
tending settlers, each person to draw
but one slip. After this is done each
holder of a slip is to be given ten days
IN which to examine the land called
for by his slip and if he desires the
land he is to file on it within these
ten days and return the slip originally
drawn by him. If he has not made en-
,ry and returned the slip within the
required ten days the slip is cancelled
and a Duplicate of it made and return
ed to the box for drawing whenever
the box becomes empty after the first
filing.
Each slip, of course, is to be recorded
by the register with the name, number
and description of the person who
draws it. If, after ten days, any slip
description remains undrawn anyone
who has drawn once may draw another
slip description under the same con-
ditionS as before.
1t is also proposed that the depart
ment lay off a quarter section for a
townsite, to be disposed of by the de-
partment as it may think best, pro-
vided only that every person who files
on a quarter section may be given
an opportunity to get a lot
In the words of the latest popular
phrase "it looks good to me-" but as
action on the matter, it is difficult to
say how it looks to them.

an EXHIBIT FOR THE LIBRARY
Treasures of Art Owned by State Ii
brary Will Be on Exhibit at
Library Next Week.

The art collection owned by the
Washington State library will be on
exhibition in the basement rooms of
the new Carnegie library next week.
This collection, which consists of re-
productions in colors and in black and
white, of the great masterpieces of
the world, is loaned by the State Ii
brary to towns throughout the state
as a means of culture to the people,
and also as a benefit to the smaller
libraries. The exhibit is brought here
under the management of the Walla
Walla Art club.
1t is hoped that the people will take
advantage of this rare opportunity of
becoming better acquainted with the
best in art, and at the same time of
helping to provide more books for the
new library.
The expenses in connection with the
exhibit are so small that eighty five
per cent of all receipts go for the
purchase of books. The proceeds from
the sale of children's tickets will be
used exclusively for books for their
room.
Admission-Adults, fifteen cents.
All school children, ten cents.

Spokane Man Gets Verdict For
Big Sum.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS usANDD0LLARs
HE WAS INJURED WHILE WORK.
ING FOR SMELLING COMPANY
NEAR NORTHPORT.

A verdict for $13,333 was returned
by the jury in the federal courts at
Spokane, yesterday, in favor of Clifford
Twitchell and against the Northport
Smelling & Refining company.
When the verdict was handed to
Judge Whitson he could not exactly
understand how such a verdict had
been arrived at. He questioned the
jury as to the manner they had ar
rived at the verdict and learned that
after deciding in favor of the plaintiff,
agreed that the amount to be recovered
should be the average of the sums
fixed by the II men. This resulted in
a. verdict for 1888. After reaching
this conclusion the jury then took an
other ballot and found for the plaintiff
in the above sum. The court was not
inclined to accept the verdict until he
learned that a ballot had been taken
after the average was figured out.
Twitchell played in luck. The case
was up at the previous term of court,
but anonsuitwasgranted. Laterthiswas
but a nonsuit was granted. Later this
was reversed and the case brought
to trial Shortly before the case
came to trial an offer to settle for
$500 was refused by the mining COM
pany.
Twitchell brought suit to recover
$21. 900 for injuries received June ~,
1904. at the Northport smelter. He
was engaged in breaking cones of Stag.
One of the cones rolled into some
water and exploded with great force,
putting out one of the plaintiffs eyes
and burning his arms and body Sc
verely. so that he has been unable to
do hard work since the time of the &C
cident.
The young man has suffered great
deal since the accident. He has had
over 20 operations performed on his
eyesocket to enable him to wear a
glass eve. His arms are crippled by
! the burns received.

Large Crowd Turned Out to Witness
Ball Game.
BOOSTERS GO TO athena TOMORROW
WILL ALSO PLAY YELLOW KIDS
AT PENDLEToN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.

At $3.50 this afternoon a large
crowd of people were at the city ball
park to witness the game that is now
in progress between the ministers and
the doctors of Walla Walla. Both
teams went into the battle with a de-
termination to win and unless all the
players fall down and die or are to
badly injured it is expected that the
game will be finished before dark.
Boosters Are Ready for Athena.
Tomorrow morning the Boosters will
leave Walla Walla for Athena where
they will meet the Yellow Kids in the
afternoon. The Boosters We're never
in better shape and if the Yellow Kids
win the game they will have to play
ball. Single and Yates were out for
practice yesterday afternoon and made
a great showing. A large number of
fans witnessed their work and they
said that it was gilt edge.
1t is estimated that fully 800 people
will go to Pendleton Sunday to wit
ness the game that will be played in
the city by the Boosters and the Vel
low Kids. The o. r. & N. will have an
ample number of cars to carry the
crowd The train will leave the depot
at 10 o'clock in the morning and will
reach Pendleton at 1880. This will
give the excursionists plenty Of time
to secure their lunch. The game will
be called at 2:30 and will be played
on the Alta street grounds. The train
will leave for Walla Walla at 7 o'clock
in the evening. Advices from Athena
and Weston are to the effect that a
large crowd of people will go on the
excursion from those places.
~. Hot Ones From the Diamond.
Frank Knapp, who played several
games this season with Walla Walla,
has gone to Athena and will hold
down the second bag for the Yellow
Kids Lieuallen, who has been doing
the work in the territory for Athena,
has been released at his own request
and will retire from ball-playing.
Vancouver, B. c., is to be admitted
to the Northwest League after June 1.
This will give Lucas five teams for his

to go in, which seems quite doubtful
at this time.

planning to organize a team and
challenge the winning team Of the
game played this afternoon by the
doctors and ministers. The proceeds
of the game will be donated to the Y.
