A Peace Prophecy.

TONI Inc Z tICa Press.
One of the scientists predicts that In
three thousand years peace will reign
supreme throughout the world. Perhaps
this is the opinion that prevails at The
Hague peace conference. The learned
statesmen are giving more attention Just
now to the production of a bullet that
will not hurt than to measures for the
peace Of all nations.

So Says Fra EIbertus In Regard to
Happy Marriages.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 25.-Elbert
Hubbard the writer ana leader of the
Roycrofters, East Aurora, N. Y, has
given out an interview here in which
he defends "affinities.''
Unless man is at peace with his
wife he is unfit for his work and is
dangerous to the community at large"
he said.
The present Mrs. Hubbard is Hub
bard's second wife, the first being di-
vorced.
Il believe that unless a man and
woman are affini;ies, they are not mar
riei at ALL he declared. "They must
complement each other. A certain man
is made for certain woman, and a
certain woman is made for certain
man. If this man cannot find this
woman, or if this woman cannot find
the man, when such people marry their
lives are failures"

DAMAGE SUIT
JURY RETURNS VERDICT IN
FAVOR OF DEFENDANT
COMPANY.

A verdict in favor of the defense was
the findings of the jury in the case of
James b. Scrafford versus the 0. r. &
N. which occupied the attention of
Judge Thomas H. Brents in superior
court yesterday.
Contrary to the report in the morn
ing paper the railroad company won
hands down. all effort of the plain
tiff's counsel in their eLdeavor to show
that the severe injuries inflicted upon
their client, Mr.. Scrafford, was the re-
suit of negligence on the part of the
company's employees being futile.
The case consumed the greater part
of the day, as the courts instructions
to the jury were not made until shortly
after o'clock. But little time was
spent by the jury in considering the
case, and it was evident from their con-
clusions that the severe accident which
ultimately resulted in the suit, was the
cause of the plaintiffs carelessness in
the opinion of the II men.
The plaintiff brought suit for dam
ages to the extent of $500 which he
claims was only Just compensati ioI for
injuries received through the negli-
gence of the company's servants on the
morning of January %, 1906.

ing to Work

SEATTLE, Oct. 25.-A break in the
lines of the striking press telegraphers

believed that within the next three
days a majority of the old press as

authority that the old men are now
back at Butte, Seattle. Tacoma. Hele-
ma, Missoula and Salt Lake. These
desertions will undoubtedly affect the
situation in San Francisco and Port
land and further desertions are look
ed for in these cities before Monday.
Lack of definite progressiveness in the
program of the Milwaukee convention
and the disheartening action of the
late President Small is mainly re-
sponsible for the return of the men.

LEGAL RIGHTS Of
"sQUAW MEN,
TEST BEING MADE TO DETERMINE
STANDING OF INDIAN WO-
MANS HUSBAND.

One of the most important cases
growing out of Umatilla county, Ore
gon. and Indian land litigation was ta-
ken up on appeal to the United States
court of appeals at San Francisco a
few days ago, with chance of finally
landing in the supreme court of the
United States.
The case is that of Lester Beam, a
minor Indian by his next friend, Eliza
Beam, against the United States of
America and James Holcomb. The ap-
peal is taken from Judge Wolverton in
the federal court at Portland.
The minor plaintiff is the son of an
Indian woman who owned a quarter
section of land on The reservation. Soon
after the birth of the SOL, the mother
married James Holcomb a white man.
She died in 1894.
Under the laws of Oregon at that
tate, the husband took a life interest
in it and was entitled to the rents and
profits during his life time.
Holcomb entered into possession of
the quarter section ard suit was
brought on behalf of the son and heir
Judge Wolverton held Holcomb's title
good under the Oregon law.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
taking an appeal on the ground that
the Oregon law does not apply in the
case of an Indian. They have raised
the question whether a "squaw man. is
entitled to the benefits of the Oregon
law where the estate is left by an In
dian with Indian heirs.
Stiliman & Pruitt represent the
plaintiffs and will be aided by a large
staff of attorneys interested iL. the de-
cision. upon which. it is said hangs the
tenure AMI title of at least 20 other
white husbands of Indian women.
