WHY THEY DON'T
COME WEST
HARPER'S WEEKLY SAYS PEO-
PIE DOWN EAST ARE TOO
BUSY MAKING A LIVING.

One reason why a good many east
ern men don't go west is that they
have to work for living and can't
spart the time. This may seem odd
to those who have been led to believe
that the streets of New York flow
with milk and that honey constantly
ings, but it is fact. Everybody in
this modern plaisance midway be-
tween Sodom and GomOrrah-meal-
ing Boston and Philadelphia-whose
attention is worth winning, tolls by
day and spins by night. But when
one does succeed in breaking away
for little time and goes beyond the
Rockies he makes many interesting
discoveries. A few revelations, are:
That there is more robust patriot
ism in the far west than in the east.
That there is keener civic pride.
That there is less drunkenness and
profanity.
That the people are more hOspita-
BILE than anywhere else except in the
south.
That the men, though less accu-
rately Informed, are broader minded.

less attractively than their cousins in
New York.
That the results of public school
teaching surpass those of private tut

That refinement in manners and
conversation is so marked as to be
noticeable.
That devoutness dominates sectar-
ianism.
That the wisdom of woman suf-
frage has been completely demon

been made.
That western people care less for
money and more for achievement.
That almost everybody speculates

HOPE THAT
SPRINGS ETERNAL
DEMOCRATIC STATE CHAIRMAN
THINKS BRYAN WILL CARRY
STATE OF WASHINGTON.

That William j. Bryan, democrat
ic presidential nominee, will carry
the state of Washington by fair
majority, receiving the almost una
l.nimous support of the lumbermen
and farmers, and that Washington
will be represented in congress by at
least one democrat is the opinion of
George P Wright, chairman of the
state central committee.
While but few of the democrats
have as yet filed their declaration of
intentions to run for Office, Chair
man Wright this morning said that
the declarations would be filed for a
full democratic ticket within the
next thirty days, probably during the
first week of August. He could give
but little information regarding the
democratic campaign until after the
, meeting of the central committee at
the Tacoma hotel, July q, when can
didates will be discussed and decid-
ed upon.
THE business, conditions have
been such during the past year as to
make many good democrats, ana
believe that the democratic party
will carry the state this fall by a
fair majority and be we'll represent
ed in congress-" said he. "Thus far
/ the democrats have been slow to file
their declarations, but it has only
been because they did not believe in
making a mad scramble for first
places upon the ticket.
mo statement to the effect that
the democrats won't have full state

statement might have been con-
| strued from letters sent to various
committees urging them to press
upon the candidates the necessity for

will close. But little attention has
been paid to the state thus far, and
no attention has been accorded

C0LV|[[E TO
: :. OPEN IN 1910
MUCH TIME WILL BE NECESSARY
FOR ALLOTMENT OF LANDS TO
THE INDIANS.

That the COlville Indian reserva-
ton will not be opened before 1910
IS the statement made by Captain ].
McA. Webster, Indian agent at Fort
+, Spokane, Wash, in a letter to the
| chamber of commerce at Spokane.
The reservation Is now being sur
veyed. This work will require an.
other year, and it will take at least
two years more to make the allot-
ment to the 1900 Indians who are
widely scattered. Captain Webster
says in his letter:
THE process of allotment is
very difficult one, though 1 am aware
of the fact that a great many people
think it simple matter, merely con-
sisting of measuring off 80 acres of
land at most any old place and as
signing it to an Indian. In reality it
is different. Most of the Indians
have been settled on their lands for
many years, have built homes, culti-
waited fields and made gardens with
out reference to future survey lines.
Many of these ajjoin and all are
more or less valuable.
This necessarily will lead to dis
putes and contentious over particular
pieces of land when an effort is made
to allot the Indians according
made to allOt the Indians according
to sectional subdivisions, yet all in
terests must be considered and diff
ferences settled in as equitable
manner as possible. No two cases
will present the same aspect, yet ev-
cry phase must be taken into account
by the alloting agent, for these In
dians are sensible and wise, although
apparently supplemented. Their
children and lands are as dear to
them as those of the whites. They
are tenacious in unfolding their
rights and quick to recognize an in
justice.
"All this will require much time
and will be trying to the patience of
competent and just allOting agent,
and from past experience / would
say that at least two years will be re-
quired to complete the allotment of
the Colville reservation, even with
two or three alloting agents and in
that way only can the opening be
fastened.
ION the approval of the allotment
schedules by the secretary of the in
terror a commission Is to be appoint
ed, under an act of congress, to class
ify and appraise the various kinds 81
: lands on the reservation remaining
after the allotments are made. Then
rules will be published in regard to
the method of opening these surplus
! lands to homesteaders. Thus, you
see, there will be no chance to take
part in the drawing of lands for at
, least three years to come.
81 may add that the surveys of the
reservation are being made under
contracts let by the surveyor general
of the United States for the state OF
| Washington, and that the alloting
agents and the board of appraisers
will be appointed by the secretary OF
the interior after approval of the sur
| veys by the secretary.
| 'It Is unfortunate that newspaper
gossip and even kilograms from
Washington correspondents have CIV
en- false impressions in regard to this
matter, some going so far as to state
that the reservation would be opened
during the present year"

From reliable information, it Is
learned that Sims and Shields have
written to these sub-contractors that
the work on the Wenatchee-Orovill
line would begin within six weeks.
This was in the latter part of June
and three weeks have already
elapsed.
From all indications, it is most
probable that the work will begin
early in August.

day, expects to do team work until

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN.

Responding to the request made by
the city council some weeks ago, City
Attorney Hougen submitted an opinion
Monday evening on the matter of the
change of the existing system of schools
here to the central high school system.
Mr.. Hougen after explaining that the
cause of the delay in furnishing the
opinion came through the fact that he
had written 20 State Supt. Cary for an
opinion on certain portions Of the law and
had been waiting for an answer to his
letter. which had not come thus far, in
formed the council that change in the
school system at this time to the system
contemplated by this and by the pre-
vions council was not possible, owing
to defects in the existing laws The last
legislature amended the law relative to
changes from district to central high
school systems and as amended the law
fails to provide means for levyng
taxes in the case of joint districts and
fails to provide for governing board
or body for the system rs changed.
Mr., Hougen suggested that all of the
districts of the city might under the
existing laws be consolidated into one
district, but he did not believe this plan
was practical
The matter was left to special com.
mit.ee for further investigation.

While padding about on che river in
a canoe Sunday afternoon George Geyer'
the fourteen year ola son of j. A. Geyer,

ions had been out in the canoe for
a couple of hours and he had just land
ed his companions op the dock near
the Central sheds. He then started
to take the canoe back to Beers dock
and when about ten feet from the dock
stood up in the canoe. The boat cap

BRIDGE ASSISTANCE OFFERED,

Tne Geological Survey, feeling that
there has been lack of skilled plan
ming and supervision in the construC-
tion of the bridges of the state, result
ing in large number of poor weak
bridges and bridges of excessive cost,
offers to aid in the planning OF bridges
erected this year.
The Survey will on request from the
proper officials, send an engineer to in
spect the bridge site, and determine on
the span and the character of bridge and
foundations. From this information
plans and specifications will be prepar.
ed for bridge of the proper character
and strength, and an estimate OF the
proper cost furnished The bridge can
then be advertised aud lei with the as
surance that good bridge will be
erected at reasonable cost Plans fur
nished by bridge companies will be
checked on request when there is not
sufficient time to use the method out.
lined above.
All of this assistance is absolutely free
to towns and villages ana there seems TO
be 40 valid reason why bridge officials
shonld not avail themselves of it.
The calls on the Highway Division for
bridge assistance are coming daily, and
If this community has any bridges to
build this year it would be well for the
town boards to apply Immediately in
order that the application may get on
file in time for work this summer.
