WHAT RIGHT HAS
A"SQUAW MAN"
Important Case in Oregon
to Test MOOted
Question.

PENDLETON, Oct. 1S.--One of the
most important cases growing out of
UmatilIa county and Indian land liti-
CATION was taken up on appeal to the
United States court of appeals at San
Francisco yesterday, with chance OF
finally landing in the supreme court of
the United States.
The case Is that of Lester Beam,
minor Indian, by his next friend, Eliza
Beam, against the United States of
America and James Holcomb. The
appeal 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 son the
mother married James Holcomb,
white man. She died in 1894
Under the laws of Oregon at that
time, when the wife died with an es-
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 and 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 "squaw man
is entitled to the benefits OF the Ore
gon law where the estate is left by an
Indian wife, with Indian heirs.
Stillman & Pruitt represent the
plaintiffs and will be aided by large
staff Of attorneys interested in the de.
cision, upon which, it is said, hang:
the tenure and title of at least 20 Other
white husbands of Indian women.

SOIL OF
PAYETTE VALLEY
OrChardiStS Realizing Large
Sums For Fruit and
Grain Crops.

PAYETTE, Oct. 1S.--The fertility of
the soil of the Payette valley has been
heralded to the four corners of the
United States. Brainard, Coughanour,
Moss and other pioneers have grown
gray telling of the superior soil and
climate of this favored section of Ida
no. The result is that the best class
of people from eastern states have
come here, and the agricultural and
horticultural developmol2t more than
justifes all the praise the pioneers
poured out in favor of the great re-
sources of the valley. 1t is a safe
statement that nowhere in the entire
country, from Alaska to the tropics,
can land be found today in a higher
state of cultivation than may be seen
here, and nowhere else can the farmer
or fruit grower secure better financial
returns for his labor. The ideal cli-
mates fertile soil and abundance of
water make success rest alone with
the man who plants and cultivates.
Here the farmer holds his own destiny
| in his hand, and if comfort and aff1u-
| ence are not his, he alone is to blame.
| Col. L. V. Patch, who owns 100 acres
one and half miles from town, Is
selling it all off but 40 acres. He re-
tains this and will plant 1t all out in
Jonathans, Rome Beauty and Stamen
| Winesap apple trees next spring. He
said go acres more in the tract will
be put out in apple trees at the same
time. He thought fully 500 acres
would be added to the apple orchards
| in this vicinity the coming season. The
apple growers in the neighborhood of
| Payette have secured phenomenal pro-
| fits this year. ]. H. Shannon's apples
brought him $1,000 per acre. George
Windle realized $1,000 per acre for his
Jonathans and almost as much from
other varieties. G. H. Brainard, from
eight acres near New Plymouth, Sc
cured 1000 boxes of apples that he
sold for 50 per box-$4,000, or $500
per acre. Scores of other apple grow
ers have done almost or quite as well
The result has been that prices fol
bearing orchards have gone up tc
$1,000 per acre, and lands especially
suited to fruit growing have enjoyed {
corresponding uplift.
While the orchardists have enjoyed
a boom on account of heavy yields AND
high prices, they are not alone. I'm

BREAKS
INTO PRISON

WALLA WALLA, Oct 1s.-After
trying for several weeks to get into
the penitentiary in manner entirely
different from the usual route travelled
by the jewellers in the "City on the
HILL" Louis Eddy has at last achieved
his object, says the Bulletin. He re-
turned to Asotin county and was con-
Quoted here today by the travelling
guard like any other horsethief. He
was admitted to the penitentiary in
the regular way this afternoon
Eddys case is one of the NOSE pecu-
liar that has occurred in the state Of
Washington. A live stock dealer in
Asotin. he claims that enemies put up
a job on him and he was convicted OF
horse stealing and sentenced TO the
penitentiary for three years. He APP
pealed to the supreme court, but the
case was decided against him. Instead
of waiting for the sheriff of his county
to take him in charge and bring him
to walla walla, he came here all alone
and presented himself TO the WARDEN al
the penitentiary He was told, how
ever, that it would be necessary for the
warden to have the court remittitur
and commitment before he was admit
ted. as until then he would have no
authority to take him into the institu-
ton. Afer delay of over two weeks
the papers finally arrived, but new
difficulty Immediately arose, namely
that of Identification. 1t was necessary
for him to be positively identified as
Louis Eddy, the man who was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary.
Eddy therefore finally gave up the
struggle of trying to break into the
penitentiary without the aid Of the
sheriff and returned to Asotin to seek
his help.

LAYING new
FOREST TRAILS

WALLACE, Idaho, Oct 1S.-Before
the first of November 1t is expected
that between SIS and rs miles of new
trails will have been opened in this
district by the forest reserve depart
ment. Practically the whole of these
tricts either inaccessible or accessible
only by roundabout routes.
The trail from Kellogg north to the
Occur dAlene river has now been pr&c-
tically completed and only the finish
ing touches remain to be done. This
trail is eight miles in length, and short
ems the distance from Kellogg to the
logging camps on the Occur dAlene
river by a distance of about IL miles.
Almost 25 miles of the Lost Lake
/ inaccessible parts Of the forest reserve
have been completed
Windfalls and Instructions are being
removed from the old stage road from
the vicinity of Anderson's ranch on
Occur d'Alene river to Beaver creek, a
distance OF ABOUT tnree miles. IhlS
gives the settlers of that district an
outlet to Delta, and permits of travel
along the south side of the Occur
d'Alene river.
| Ten men are at work on trail from
! the North Fork over the divide west OF
/ Grizzly and along the divide to Lake
View on Lake Pend d'Orielle 1t is ex-
pected that about 20 miles of this trail
will have been completed before the
snow falls. This trail gives ACCESS to
an immense area of valuable timber
lands and establishes a direct route
from Wallace to Lake View. The trail
when completed will be approximately
| 40 miles in length.
| The ten-mile trail connecting the
/ Little North Fork district with Lake
Occur d'Alene has been completed and
in connection with this the forestry
department worked in CONNECTION with
the miners and settlers of the district
