remainder is disposed Of for fodder
in the manufacture Of starch, and
lately for the distillation of alcohol.
The full value Of potatoes for stock
feed is not so well known as 1t should
be. They may be fed raw, steamed
or dried; but are most valuable as
they come from the ground. Most
animals relish them, and they fur

transportation a cheap drying pro-
cess is desirable, and, the German
farmers having offered large prizes
for the invention of one that would
prove satisfactory, several manufac.

which won the first prize costs about
$4,000 to erect. The tubers are
sliced and subjected to the direc:

CONGRESSMAN
JONES RESUME
WORK DONE FOR WASHINGTON
Talks of improvements Of Especial
Interest to Yakima Valley
and Environs.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The fol-
lowing statement is a resume given
by Congressman Jones of the work
done and results accomplished 70.
the state of Washington by its dele
cation during the present session Of
congress Mr.. Jones said:
Eve do not greatly expect to do
very much in the short session of con-
gr IS beyond taA' care Of a2pro-
priation bills, and local matters are
usually forced to the background.
believe, however, that l can safely
say that our delegation has been I'M
usually successful, not only in secur-
ing provisions in the appropriation
bills OF interest to our state, but also
in securing the enactment of local
legislation desired by the people of
Washington, and practically all such
matters have been enacted into law.
1--WE secured the passage OF a reso-
luton by which certain settlers on
lands finally recognized as belonging
to the Yakima Indian reservation
were protected in their rights and
allowed to make final proof for them
If otherwise complying with the
homestead laws.
"One proposition of especial inter-
est to the Yakima valley, in connec-
ton with our irrigation project, was
legislation allowing the lands of
Minor Indians to be sold without the
delays incident to probate proceed
ings. Two bills were introduced
one covering the matter generally
and the other applying especially to
the Yakima reservation. Owing to
the fact that the department was
very anxious to have general legis-
lation passed covering this PROPOSE
ton there was no difficulty expert
enced in having them report favor
ably on these bills and we were en-
abled to secure a provision in the
Indian appropriation bill covering
the matter and, as this provision has
been enacted into law with the ap-
preparation bill, the separate bills
We're not necessary.
Some desert land entrymen in
Benton county under the Benton Wa
ter company's canal, were fearful
that they would not be able to make
their final proof this year by rea-
son of the damage done to the canal
by floods, and upon their request an
act was passed extending the time
one year for the making of their
final proof.
Legislation was also secured
granting authority to the North
Coast railroad company to erect two
bridges at different points to span
the Columbia river"
Congressman Jones also enumer-
ates many more items of great value
to Washington which were secured
by this congress.

Mixed Up Land Case.

BY a decision Idered by Judge

The litigation in this case covers
transactions covering number Of
years. Louis LeClaire. an ignorant
Indian, living ON the Yakima reser-
walton, conveyed his land to Charles
Bodeker as trustee to sell 1t. Bodek-
er, 1t Is said, gave the Indian about
$500 Of the $4,000 he was to get
out of the transaction. 1t appears
that subsequent to this deal deed
to the land naming Chas. Bodeker az
grantor and Charles Woodwork as
grantee was filed for record with tho
auditor OF Pierce county, and Wood

Louis LeClairs, Jr. When the testi-
mony was taken before Referee w.
A. Worden. Bodeker testified that
he had never made deed Of the land
to Woodwork and that his name
signed to It was forgery. Judge
Hanford dismissed the case. stating
that the plaintiff had failed to make
out case showing entitlement to
the relief asked. and that they should

PASSING OF TINE INDIAN.
Red Men Gradually disappearing
From the Face Of the Land.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-From d
work on "The Indians Of America"
published by Heineman today, 1t APP
pears that II has never been definite
ly determined just what was the
greatest number OF Indians in Amer
lea when they were unmolested.
Some authorities say the number
could not have exceeded million,
but others assert that II could not
have been more than 100000, and
still others contend that there were
never more than 100000. At the
present time there are about 2S4.-
900 members OF the red race In the
United States. There are Indians In
eighteen different states and three
territories, exclusive OF the Indian
Territory. Nearly all the tribes are
west of the Mississippi, in fact, most
of them beyond the Missouri.
There are 156 reservations in all.
In the northwestern part Of New
York there are about 5000 descend
ants of the great warrior tribes liv-
ing on eighteen reservations. Today
there are $4,000 Indians who wear
citizens dress in whole or In part
There are 10000 who can read and
speak English. There are $4,000
Indian families now living in COM
Portable modern dwellings. When
the government first began supplying
the Indians with houses 1t often
proved a difficult matter to keep
the old warriors in them. They
would take possession in the best OF
faith, but the wild nature would In.
variably break out. they would sad
die their horses and go back to their
tepees.

TOURIST RATES
NOW IN EFFECT
TO Be the BIGGEST YEAR YET
Believed That Record Loads VIII BE
Brought During Pres
ent Month.

Tourist rates went into effect on
the transcontinental railroads Friday,
March 1, and a heavy tourist travel
is looked for during this month. The
rates are operative until April 30,
and always bring forth a heavy
stream of colonists.
The rates are also effective from
September / to october 81. Indica-
lions are that Northern Pacific trains
will bring record loads from the east
and many are due to be deposited in
North Yakima.
1t is stated that the rate war,
which it was rumored would be es-
tablished by the Canadian Pacific
May / will not be established, and
railroad men are giving no credenoe
to the rumor. According to the ru-
NOR that rate cut would be fully rs
per cent in the fare from coast to
coast and would vitality effect the wei
fare of all roads.
The transcontinental roads have
agreed on the following rates to the
coast, and they will vary but slight
ly coming to North Yakima: Chi
cago, s33; ST. Louis, $40; Missouri
river points, $25; New York, $50.
These colonist rates have probab-
" done as much as any one move
to build up the west. and this year
will probably he the biggest Of any
