SPRING ROUNDUP OF HERDS
Riders SCOur South Half Of C0lVi||e
Reservation

The spring roundup of horses on the
Colville Indian reservation began
few days ago. 1t is later this year than
usual, owing to the fact that the ami
mails were in such bad condition after
the hard winter, the owners wishing to
give them a chance to regain strength
to stand the hard chasing incident to
the roundup.
One hundred riders were in the
saddle far among the hills and val
leys of the great South Half, states one
account. 1t is estimated by some of
the riders that there are about 10000
horses on the southern portion of the
reservation, but a much smaller num-
Der to the north. The bunchgraSS is
in evidence earlier in the spring along
the hillsides sloping toward the Co
lumbia that it is farther north, and it
is here that the horses find their
way when the first signs of spring ap-
pear.
The riders participating in the round
up are principally Indians, although
there are a few white men in the
ranks. Most of the whites engaged
are those who ran horses on the reser-
walton years ago and who never sue
ceeded in getting all the animals with
their brands when they quit the range.
1t is these stray animals they are af-
ter now.
A surprising feature in the pres
ent roundup is that a very small per
cent of the horses are found to have
persisted during the severe winter.
IS thn CHI
age of feed. and the long drawn out
cold weather led to a belief that there
would be thousands of dead horses on
the range this spring. In fact it was
estimated at one time that 80 per cent
Of the horses would die. The present
~oundup is proving this estimate far
from correct, as very few carcasses
have been found by the riders.

LEW DoCKSTADER.

No theatrical attraction ever seen
on the road before is so replete with
novelties as Lew Dockstader's Min
strels, which will be seen at the Key
lor Grand theater, June %. The pro-
duction alone cost $4,000 and the new
features which have been discovered
from time to time during the past sea-
son have all been worked out and are
models of interesting departure from
the conventional.
Mr. Dockstader will be seen this
season as the editor of the "Bung-
town Corker," in which role he has
abundant opportunity to call to his
aid those bits of local interest that
have made him the most wonderful
minstrel man in the land. The unique
method adopted by this quaint come
dian to open his specially has excited
the wonderment Of all who have seen
the act and his success in this, ST.
from the start.
Neil O'Brien, one of the greatest
minstrel favorites in the world. has
woven together string of original
nonsense that is side-splitting and his
act is funnier than ever. He appears
as the conductor in what he calls
Rapid Transit No. g" which had for
it's main idea his street car act of some
seasons ago. The sketch, however,
has been so changed and amplified that
it presents an entirely different APP
pearance and contains twice as many
laughs as it did before.
The singing contingent is headed by
Reese v. Prosser; Harry H. Morse is
interlocutor and stage manager. Some
of the other vocalsts are. Joe Natus,
James Reaney. Wilson Miller, VIM. H.
Thompson. Wallace Mersereau, Gus
Reed, besides a large band of other
harmonisN
The dancing is under the able d.
rection of Tommy Hyde. who has de-
vised some of the most interesting
steps and stage pictures that it has
ever been Mr.. Dockstader's good for
tune to present. John DAILY and John
King also contribute to the comedy of
the show. which by-the-way has been
one of the chief aims.

BUTTE INSTRUCTOR IS
FAVORED BY SPOKANE

SPOKANE, June 12.-All indications
point to the selection by the board of
education Of Principal H. M. Hart of
the Butte high school to take the prin-
cipalship Of the Spokane high school
to succeed David E. Cloyd.
There are a great number of appli-

seems to be the most likely candidate.
and he has already been on the field
in person and filed his application.
Mr.. Hart has made a favorable i'm
preston with members of the hoard
and with uperintendent Tormey, who
makes recommendations to the teach
ers' committee for the position.
1t is stated that the principal will
not be selected until after the meeting
of the National Educa tional associa-
ton in Los Angeles in July, which Su-
perintendent Tormey will attend.
There has been some talk of N. F.
Coleman. formerly a teacher in the
high school, who is now a member of
the Whitman college faculty, for prin-
cipal of the high school, but it is stat
ed that no application has been filed
by Mr.. Coleman and so far as known
his candidacy has not been really con-
sdered by either the board or the SUI
perintendent.

THE AMERICN FLAG.

In commemoration of Flag day, this
patriotic announcement has been sent
out by the G. A. r. instructor:
Friday. the 14th of June, will be the
one hundred thirtieth anniversary of
the birth of the flag of the United
States. The flag was designed for a
nation of thirteen colonies, stretched
like a belt along the Atlantic coast,
made up of less than three millions of
people without common traditions or
language; drawn together only by a
common danger from savages within,
and oppression from without, which
threatened their existence and liber-
ties. That flag now waves over
great nation. extending from the Gulf
Of Mexico to the Lakes; from the At
lantic to beyond the Pacific sea; and
inhabited by nearly ninety millions of
people, who speak a common language
Our flag is now-in form-the oldest
flag of civilized nations. The resolu-
tiontion by congress for the adoption
of the Stars and Stripes on June the
14th, 1777. was as follows: -"Resolved
that the flag of the United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white: that the Union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue fieA1, represent
ing new constellation" The design
Of this flag is credited to George
Washington and in part was taken
from his family coat Of arms. Such is
the origin of a flag dedicated to the
proposition that call men are created
free and equal" Let us honor the
natal day of our national f1ag-dis-
playing it from our public buildings.
this memorable day.
The men of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. who preserved. the nation in
the greatest war of modern times and
made vital the declaration of our
fathers, call upon all who live under
the flag to recognize this day by pa
triotic observances in schools and-on
the Sunday preceeding-in churches.
To this end we suggest that the gov
ernor of every state by proclamation
announce the day and promote it's re-
cognition; that the press scatter this
call-as seeds of Observation-Disclosures
over the land. Such recognition will
nourish the greatness of our nation,
inculcate noble citizenship. the prin-
ciples of civil liberty, and be an object
lesson to the new generations that
have come upon the stage since the
civil war

The hostile powers, the serrleo
