clared President A. B. Slickney Of the
Chicago Great Western railroad. but
the individual in business, it must be
confessed, has not been trained to the
loftiest conception Of his duty to the

Mr.. stickney was discoursing in his
best vein on present day Industrial,
commercial and political tendencies
and conditions. He is one of the men
whose view takes in the world. AS a
young man he wasn't a very promising
chap because he couldn't make a sue
cess of holding a job. He didn't seem
to get on at working for anybody. He
couldn't stand being bossed. With a
lot of notions and opinions tina he
couldn't subordinate to other peoples,
he just had to give up working for
anybody else and go to working for
himself. Nothing of better promise

HOTEL WASHINGTON CLOSED.
Scattlc's Fine Hostclry Forced Out of
Business by Litigation.

The Seattle Star gives the following
sketch of Hotel Washington at Seat

close its doors through litigation:

Washington was breakfast Saturday

The building was started in 1855
and partially finished up in 1899, the

MUST SPRAY OR LOSE FRUIT.
State VIII Rigidly Enforce Laws
Against Infected Fruits.

Many inquiries are being received
by Professor Cordley of the State
Agricultural college, with reference
to spraying for Goblin moth, says the
Corvallis Times. If is the evident
purpose of farmers to make strug-
gle to redeem their fruit from the
worms. Indeed, they must do so in
order to be able to sell their apples
at all. for II Is the announced purpose
of the state inspectors to condemn all
wormy apples found in the market,
and to prevent the sale of them, as by
law required.
The penalty for offering such fruit
for sale is confiscation and a fine, and
the state board is requiring all in
spectors to enforce the law. This
means that those who do not spray
will simply lose all fruit that is not
used at home, for 1t will not be per-
mitted to be sold.
A further inducemcnt for farmers
to spray now, is that the arsenate of
lead, used for spraying Goblin moth
is fatal to caterpillars, and that in the
destruction of the former, the CATER
pliers will also be destroyed.

FEAST FOR BLACK ELK.
Umatilla Tribe Holds Memorial Serv-
ices for Dead Indian.

The Weston Leader of this week
will contain the following account of
memorial feast held last week in
honor of Black Elk. the well known
Umatilla, recently deceased:
An ancient custom among the Una
tilla Indians was observed a few days
ago at the home of the late Black Elk
on the Umatilla river. 1t was in the
nature of a remembrance feast. and
all the tribesmen assembled to pay
tribute to his memory.
Every delicacy that could be OBJ
tained was served at the feast; includ-
ing pies, cake, coffee and the finest
of meats. 1t is estimated that the
widow expended $3.50 on the viands
alone At its conclusion eloquent
eulogies were delivered by Chief To-
wata, Small Hawk, Peter Kaliten and
Kakamesh. Every good quality of
the departed brave was recalled and
praised by the speakers.
A young Indian, impersonating.
supposedly, the spirit of the late Black
Elk, then rode about the camp. He
wore the beautiful regalia of the de-
ceased, which had been kept in the
family for generations and which a
small fortune could not buy. He rode
Black Elks favorite horse, and his
appearance was the recognized signal
for loud and awe-some manifestations
of sorrow.
Black Elk had been married twice,
L. to 90
His second wife gave the feast, but
was assisted throughout by her pre-
decessor. Black Elk left a son by his
first wife, and to him the lawful
widow presented the priceless regalia
which deScends from father to son.
To the assembled tribcpeople the
widow gave away all her late hus-
bands property except a few blankets
and kitchen utensils. The gifts We're
of every kind and character-horses.
saddles. brides, blankets, furniture,
provisions etc.-and some of them
had been newly purchased for the oc-
casion. Their value was not less than
$500. and Mrs. Black Elk is left in her
widowhood with but few possessions.
She Is a well-educated Indian woman
being able to speak, read and write
the English language with ease. Her
faithful observance of the beautiful
yet expensive custom which obtains
among her people indicates to what
extent the Umatilla Indians are yet
bound by the traditions of happier
period when there were no whites to
dispute their sway of the grand
country, where Rolls the Oregon"

ORIGIN OF THE KU KLUX KHAN
Society Formed to Protect Southern
Families and Homes.

During the summer Of 1866 in the
little town of Pulaski in Middle Ten
nessee. the Ku KIux Klan was born.
Early in 1867 the great transforma-
ton of the Ku KluX Klan took place
a call was sent out from Pulaski tC
the different "dens' and a general
convention was held in Nashville
Tenn. The delegates to this conven-
ton were men, serious and thought
full, but equally daring and deter
mined. They realized what they were
undertaking, and what they We're
risking, and accepted the conditions
grimly. They organized the "Invisi-
BILE Empire of the south to be ruled
over by a Grand Wizard of the whole
empire, Grand Dragon of each state
a Grand Titan of ecah county, and
with a few changes the former Off
GERS of each den" They clearly de-
fined their objects of existence as fol-
lows:
l. To protect the weak. the inno-
cent, and the defenseless from the in
dignities, wrongs and outrages of the
lawless. the violent and the brutal;
to relieve the injured and oppressed;
to succor the suffering. and especially
the widows and orphans of confeder-
ate soldiers.
2. To protect and defend the con-
stitution of the United States, and all
laws passed in conformity thereto.
and to protect the states and people
thereof from all invasion from any
source whatever.
8. To aid and assist in the execu-
ton of all constitutional laws. and to
protect the people from unlawful
seizure, and from trial except by their
peers in conformity with the laws of
the land.
Without having attracted any pub
lie attention. the convention accom-
plished its purpose and the delegates
returned to their homes to organize
for systematic work; not as a political
party, nor a military body. but as reg
ulators, for the protection of the
south.-Minnizelle George, in the Pa
cific Monthly for May.
