The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-02-08
Agrees With Mr.. SchWeizer

Marley, Neb. Feb. 3.-To the Editor of The
Independent: In The Independent of February |
I think Mr. Schweizer of Woodlawn, Neb., hits
the truth in the freight rate bill by Senator Dol-
yer, in that he believes the salary is the main
thing of the whole business and think his letter
is just to the point in the whole matter and is
my idea of all the bills that have SO far been
introduced pertaining to the railway rate question
There is no sense or justice in making such a
committee with such salary that to rob the
people when all know, Mr.. Schweizer says,
they will not be allowed or have a chance to do
any good if they should happen to be SO inclined.
Go on with your good paper work

THREE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
Tremors Distinctly Felt From North
to South.

Seismic disturbances gave a dis
tinct shake to many of the taller
buildings in Boise yesterday no less
than three times, says the Statesman.
The first occurred at $3.50 in the
morning, the second at 1905 noon
and the last time at 1880 in the after
noon.
The shocks were felt quite distinct
ly in the taller buildings, many of the
occupants of the upper floors of the
federal block and structure and the
Soma building observing the phe-
n1menon. They state it was even
more distinct than the slight shock
that was felt in Boise last autumn.
The tremor that came at the noon
hour was also felt. among other
places, at the Sherman house.
While the shock was very light, it
was plainly discernable to those who
chanced to be seated in the proper
position and engaged in desk work.
Chandeliers are said to have swung
some four or five inches from the
trembling of the earth.
The shock that was felt in Boise
a few months ago set the buildings
a-tremble from east to west, and all
the swinging of the chandeliers and
tables at that time was in that direc-
ton. The tremors yesterday were
from north to south.

IDAHO WILL CONTEST FOR LAND
Files on $500 Acres to Cover Univer-
sity Grants.
Says the Lewiston Teller:

Says the Lewiston Teller:
Now comes the state of Idaho
through its representative, c. ]. Nun
son, and makes a filing on about $500
acres of the land recently thrown open
in townships 35 and 33-6 east, to
cover university grants. The filings
show that 1463.77 acres of the state
selection is free, but that 1012.1S
acres is in conflict with homestead
entries already accepted.
There is only one filing made that
the state will not contest, and that is
one, the entry of Charles w. Hart
man, the pioneer settler of the town
ship. Mr.. Hartman settled on his land
in 1896, and has made his home there
ever since. The others are very re-
cent arrivals and the state will con-
test their rights.
1t appears that the timber and stone
entrymen who spent weary days and
nights in the vigil at the land office
door will not reap any benefit for
their trouble. The best they had was
a contest and now that the state has
stepped in they have not even that,
for any merit that might be in their
claim would in the end accrue to the
benefit of the state.

WHERE DOES ROAD MONEY COZ
Question for Baker County Taxpayers
to Consider.

Says the Baker City Herald.
To any one who knows what roads
are and what they could be 1t is very
evident that all this money which the
county claims to be spending on the
improvements of the roads is either
a myth or expended on roads that are
never travelled. The condition of the
roads from this city to Cornucopia
are bad, very bad. Not only are the
roads bad but the bridges are in
worse condition. A trip over this road
will convince any fair-minded tax
payers that there is nothing to show
for the money expended.
The bridges in the lower Powder
valley on the Cornucopia road are al
most dangerous. The coverings are
worn off and in some instances the
approaches are gone entirely and
makeshift aprons substituted. One
small bridge which could be rebuilt
in a day is in a deplorable condition.
The approach is gone and in its place
is substituted dozen 2-inch planks
laid lengthwise. One of these planks
is broken and unless your off horse
is a tight-rope walker you can't cross
the bridge without danger of being
thrown out into the ditch.
The weather conditions are no ex-
cuse for allowing the bridges to get
in such shape. These bridges could
be fixed up at any time and at a very
small cost. They are really danger
Gus in their present condition.

INDIANS NEED HELP
PIUTEs AND SNAKES ALLoT-
TED IN HARNEY COUNTY.
Burns Paper Says They Are Struggl-
ing Along In the Effort to Become
Sclf-supporting, But They Need
State or County Aid-Men Work In
Harvest and Shear Sheep, But Their
Land Is Poor and They Are Forced
TO Beg I'm Town ut Times.

In Harney county is a small settle
ans, which were allotted a tract OF
land 10 years ago. These Indians are
struggling along in their way trying
to make homes upon the land. Many
of them work in harvest and shear
sheep in the spring of the year, but
they are making no progress and the
Burns Times-Herald of last week
makes a plea for state or county aid
for the Indians, in order that they
may continue to live upon their land
and become self-supporting. The Her
aid says:
In 1886 an allotment of land in
Harney valley was made to the Indi-
make homes for themselves. It is
not possible for the Indian to make
use of this claim without cooperation
with the whites, as they are depend
ent upon them for their living, which
they have to secure in the little towns
of Burns, Harney and Drewsey,
hence the non-fulfillment of the OBJ
legation on their part.
The squaws bear their young and
toll to feed them, and would devote
time and strength to several branches
of industry which would help to Sc
cure their homes If helped to do so.
These squaws are susceptible of
training in pursuits which would be
welcomed by them, If the task were
assigned to persons who would make
this work their loving care.
The Indian, like his white brother,
will not be driven only as the super
iority9of numbers compel it.
Should we not as humane people.
make the uplifting of this remnant
of the original owners of the country
our loving care, and try to help them
to help themselves?
They are as children in giving their
confidence and may be robbed with
out knowing it.
A small appropriation from the
state or county would adjust this lit
tie matter and prove that we, the peo-
pie of Harney county, are awake 40
the duties of highly civilized people.

SIBERIAN POST BUSY.
VIadivOstOk Agent Says Vessels Have

Writing from Yladivostok an agent
for one Of the steamship companies
says that the close of the war with
Japan has seen a great influx of goods
of all kinds into that port during the
past three months. the greater part
being foodstuffs, says the Oregon
Daily Journal.
SO many ships have arrived from
China, Japan and the United States,
he says, that the facilities for hand
ling cargoes are altogether made
quate, vessels that ordinarily could
easily discharge in three days being
delayed three or four weeks, awaiting
their turn to come to the wharf. AL
though a great deal Of merchandise
has already been landed, the conges-
ton still continues and bids fair to be
almost as great for some months.

OUTLOOK IS PROMISING
FEATURES OF MAY FESTIVAL
Believed That Richmond Music Low
ING People VIII Show Their Fullest
Are Being Arranged.

H. A. Dill, has returned from Mum
the May Festival Association for the
purpose of learning what methods
were employed there for securing the
large advance sale OF seats for the
coming Nordica recital. Aside from
very liberal advertising, Mr.. Dill
found nothing that would account for
the gigantic sale except the musical
enthusiasm of the Muncie people.
This was sufficient 10 sell the entire
house of about twenty-five hundred
seats in practically the first day of
the sale. AS Nordica is only one of
eight singers of renown whom the
Apollo club of Muncie has brought
there within a year, it may be seen
that appreciation OF such an event is
certainly not wanting.
Mr.. Dill is firm in the belief that
equal enthusiasm and appreciation
will be shown among our own people
for our May Festival program.
He bases this expectation upon the
great reputation of the Thomas Or
chestra and the superior attractive
ness to the great mass of people as
we'll as to musicians of program
given by large orchestra and chorus
over one given by a single voice.
Also upon the ability of the quartet
of singers engaged here, one of
whom, the basso, Mr.. Witherspoop,
appears in three of the Cincinnati
May Festival Concerts this year and
another Of whom. Nine Mconda, So
prano, is one of the eight singers re-
ferred to above as appearing in solo
recital with the Muncie Apollo Club
during the present season. When
to these attractions Is added the work
Of the. large chorus in the two splen-
did compositions. The Crusaders
and The Last Judgment" the work
on which has now progressed to such
point as to make safe the prediction
that it will be the best that has ever
been heard in Richmond, Mr.. Dill
feels that there is no reason to doubt
that Richmond people will manifest a
degree of pride in the movement and
give an amount of support to it that
will be uniue in the history of the
city. -
