MIR. otley appears much con-

MIR. Otley appears much con-
cerned and very solicitous of the
poor deluded people who have
been persuaded to come to this
valley for the purpose of making
their homes and engaging in di.
versiiied farming. He wonders
where MIR Conner got his infor-
nation and what he was paid for
"writing up this semi.arid region" "
BY the same token it might not be
considered impertinent to ask Mr..
Otley If he expects or is rewarded
for trying to discourage the settle
ment and development of this big
Valley. Mr.. Otley's protest falls
rather Hat in the face of the real
evidence that this great section is
particularly adapted to the grow
ing OF all cereals-yrs, and fruit
too. This is a fact that any one
must admit after seeing the pro-
ducts exhibited at the last annual
county fair or has visited a num-
Der of the farms and orchards OF
this county.
We are now getting a class of
people in this valley that fully un-
derstand what they are about and
feel confident Of success. And
why not; They know OF sections
not nearly so fortunate as this in
altitude, climate, soil or precipita-
ton, where profitable crops are
raised annually-ih fact considered
among the hest farming sections Of
the United States. They nave
no, been deceived in any respect,
but on the contrary will give the
old settler "cards and spades" aud
increase the value Of his property,
as well as the general wealth Of
the county, by farming as it should !
be done in a practical, scientific |
and successful manner.
Every progressive section has
a few men like Mr.. Otley, honest
no doubt, but who fail to open
their eyes, appreciate or realize J
the great opportunities of their im-
mediate community. MIR. otley's !
protest will not stop the influx Of
homeseekers or change the opin-
ion OF those who understand soil !
and know its value.

The Washington herald., 1907-11-09

Following the example of the Chicago
and New York unions. which voted a few
days ago TO discontinue the telegraph
strike. the Washington local called a spe-
cial meeting last night and by an almost
unanimous vote decided to declare the
strike off. This decision will go into
effect this morning at S o'clock.
A. S. Groves presided at the meeting and
gave out the following statement:
so far as Washington is concerned the
strike could have continued indefinitely,
because the labor unions of this city have
contributed TO the striking telegraphers
an average OF about $500 a month. Up 70

DISTRICT OWN ASH COLLECTOR.
RecnuSe Of Excessive Change, Work
Is Taken from Contractors.

Believing a combination has been
formed TO force the District 70 pay an ex-
orbnant price for the collection of ashes
from private houses in the District, the
Commissioners have decided to transfer
the work from the hands of general con-
tractors to the supervision Of Superin-
tendent Twohey, of the street cleaning
department
The bids for the work, received by the
District on October 81, last, called for a
large increase in the cost, which Com
missioner West considered exorbitant. and
in which opinion the other Commissioners
cOncurred. The two bids received for the
work were. therefore, rejected. and the
superintendent OF street cleaning took up
the work last Saturday. At the present
time, It is reported to be progressing
faYorably.
1T has taken great deal Of prompt
and energetic work TO deal with the situa-
ton" said Commissioner West yesterday,
but the result has shown that We can be
independent of contractors who submit

The same would be true of In
dlans. The thrifty white man
leases land to his unthrifty white
brother. Thrifty Indians some
times lease part of their rcserva-
tlon to some other tribe that per
haps has not been as Industrious
and faithful in looking after their
property as have these Indians
here. have understood recently
that some of the Ute Indians, who
are very poor, have come on your
reservation and are.now leasing a
part of same. | certainly hope

they will haye the help of you In

"Under the allotment law every
Indian who receives his allotment
is Il citizen of the United States.

Mr.. Burke closed with a few
good words for the present
commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Mr.. Leupp.
Among his remarks, Mr.. Burke
stated that while in Con-
gress he was on the committee
on Indian affairs. Mr.. Paddy
Miller (whom The Press mention
ed last week) asked him ''why he
did not come out to visit the In
dams, to find out what they want
cd"
X IN he was asked if he favor
ed the leasing of the reservation
to the big cattle men. Mr.. b.
replied that he had always been
opposed to it.
The matter of throwing open
the balance of the reser-
walton to white settlers was
mentioned. Mr.. Miller stated
he did not want to see it thus
opened until after the ,25 year
period of the allotment treaty.
