The annual leasing Of Indian
lands on the Nez Perce reserva-

week at Lapwai and it is said
that considerable of the land
formerly under lease will be left
idle this year because of the

owners. The Indians have been
steadily boosting rents for the
past several years but have the
price as hign now as it can be

Journal says:
In support of his statement made
in his annual report, that he knew
the author of an anonymous letter
received by Robert Wallace, of Rim
aldo, Mott Ayres, State Fire Mar

facts which he secured and which he
presented to the Trigg County grand
jury. The Fulton Daily Leader con-
tanned the exhibits in the case, show
ing the basis to the statement made
by Mr.. Ayres that he knew who had
written the letter.
1t has been charged by the county
Attorney of Trigg county that Mr..
Ayres failed to produce any evidence
in support of his statement that he
knew the author of the anonymous
letter received by Mr.. Wallace, and
also that Mr.. Ayres failed to appear
before the grand jury, as he said he
would, to testify regarding the let
ter. These charges against Mr..
Ayres caused him to make public
the evidence he secured.
About October, 6, 1906, Mr.. Wal
lace received an anonymous letter in

Company's envelopes-the printed
name of the Champion Bridge Com
pany having been crudely erased.
A comparison of the two char
actersof envelopes shows conclusively
that the anonymous letter was in
closed in one of the Champion
Bridge Company's envelopes. The
letter was as follows;

Prior to October 1906, the Cham

stamped, self addressed envelopes
and Magistrate Nabb never returned
any to the Company and so retained
them in his possession.
Shortly after receiving the letter
Mr.. Wallace received one of the
nightly attentions which have dis
graced the community, and his barn
was burned and his tobacco de-
stroyed.

shall Ayres, had made an unfounded
charge.
An obvious effort has been made
TO cover up any evidence of the
threats Of the tobacco bnrning out
RACES and a despicabe attempt has
been made to place Fire Marshal
Ayres in a false position in refer
ence to the inves att o n of
these outrages. Numerous publica-
tons have been made with a view to
creating the impression that after
Fire Marshal Ayres had notified the
Irigg county authorities of evidence
that might lead to the conviction of
the criminals he failed to appear be-
fore the grand jury and give the
proper information. Fire Marshal
Ayres furnished to the grand jury
through the proper channel all Of
the evidence which we have repro
duced herewith except the opinions
of the experts, which it was not his
duty to supply. His actual presence
before the grand jury was prevented
by the illness Of his wife and other
official duties, and even if he had
been there he could have added
nothing to the documentary evidence
which he submitted to the grand jul

ening letter and an official document
signed by N. E. Nabb in 1903 were
written by the same person. Col.
Ayres himself makes the same direct
charge.

Mr.. AYREs' REPORT.
The Leader says:

The Leader says:
State Fire Marshal, Mott Ayres
was certainly justified in declaring
in his annual report: "The author
of the letter is known to this de-
partment;" and he undoubtedly had
Magistrate Nabb in mind when be
penned that sentence. Magistrate
Nabb did write the letter, but
as we have already said, whether he
was in any wise a guilty or felonious
participant in the tobacco burning
which followed the letter, we ex-
pressly disclaim any knowledge,
simply leaving that matter to every
body to decide for himself upon the
facts as they may appear to him.
A simple justice to the State Fire
Marshal has impelled us to give these
facts, especially as one or two of
our contemporaries, notably the
Cadiz Record in its issue of May 30,
have undoubtedly endeavored to
create the impression that Fire Mar

WHITE SLAVERY INCREASES
Girls in British Columbia Reared
and Fattened for the
Market.

The religious people and the tenn
perance people in Canada are up in
arms over the report which has been
made public by the dominion govern
ment to the effect that in certain
parts of British Columbia there are
regular slave markets as cruel as were
ever known in darkest Africa. This.
coupled with the recent exposures
about the traffic in young girls be-
tween certain procurers in Canada
and the United States, has stirred up
the authorities and vigorous action Is
going to be taken Immediately to sup
press the things referred to. The do
minion government has intimated to
the government Of British Columbia
that If It thinks it will not be able
to suppress the horrible state Of af-
fairs the national government will
step in and see that this blot on the
fame o. Canada be wiped out imnle-
diately.
The sIavemasters in question are
the Cape Nudge Indians of British
Columbia, who go in for a regular traf-
fic in supposedly white girls, but who
arc in reality quarter. eighth and six
teenth breed girls. So successful have
these Cape Nudge Indians been in
this trafiic and so rich have they grown
over 1t that the Rock Bay Indians, an.
other tribe, are also going in for the
trafiic. The story would be too wild
for belief If it were not that the ac-
ton Of the dominion authorities is
taken upon formally attested com
plant OF C. J. South, the superintend.
ent of the Children's Aid society.
It was known that In British Colum
bia, the same as in all new countries,
immoral relations existed between the
white men, prospectors and adventur-
ers and the Indian women in many
cases with the knowledge Of their
male relatives. but it was not known
that the evil had assumed such hor-
rible and systematic proportions.
The trade seems to have gone on
for at least two generations and with
each year the girls have become
whittier Of skin.
The reason for that Is that their
grandmothers were sold to white men
as they are now, that their mothers,
whose skin had commenced to whiten,
were sold in turn, and 50 on till their
daughters and granddaughters when
they have them and when they are
sold as slaves win hardly possess any
difference in appearance from the real

Even now they are SO white that

shoua EvoIutIonary Process.

Most curious Of all living birds in
their way. are the "hoatzins" OF
south America, which, as nestlings,
are more like Quadrupeds than feath-
cred creatures in their mode OF get
ting about. They have hand-like
claws on their wings and climb about
in the trees by the aid Of these
appendages and their strong little
beaks.
Later in life the claws, remarkably
enough, disappear, and the hoatzins
become much like ordinary birds. But
their development, to the eye OF the
naturalist, tells a most interesting
story. showing as It does how the mod
ern bird has been evolved. In the
space of a few brief weeks it repre-
sents the passage of millions of years,
for the adult hoatzin is in all respects
an up-to-date fowl, whereas the nest
ling bears a close resemblance to the
iong-extinct archaeopteryx-the most
primitive and reptlian Of known birds.

kings EdIet Quickly obeysd.

In all the German papers of August,
1888, appeared an ordinance signed
BY the king Of Bavaria, forbidding
civilians, on any pretext whatever, to
wear moustaches, and commanding
the police authorities to arrest the
offenders and shave them by force.
Apparently this was not necessary,
for, according to a French account
of the time, "moustaches disappeared
Immediately. like leaves from the
trees in autumn; everybody made
haste to obey the royal order, and
not one person was arrested" The
ancient Anglo-Saxon was not SO obe-
dent; he wore long hair and a nous
tache, though no beard, and when
he was conquered by the clean-shaven
Norman he wore his hair longer than
ever, to exaggerate the difference be-
tween the two races.
