Toppenish. THAT increased inter
est is being shown in the reserva-
ton lands was evidenced this week
by over a dozen bids being put in for
two tracts of deceased Indian land
that were advertised for sale by the
government. The bidders were com
posed of people from all parts of the
state. The two tracts were raw sage
brush land and require mile of
ditch to be constructed before they
can be irrigated, yet one brought
$4,000, while the other brought a
little over $4,000. These bids are
double what the same class of land
was bid for last year. From two
to Is deceased Indian allotments
are being placed on sale monthly
and are eagerly grabbed up by the
investing public.

REMOVAL OF WHARF HILLS.
Steam Shovels at Work on Potomac
River Front

The last of the series of hills that for
! merly extended along the river front in
the southwest section of the city are be-
ing removed and it is only a question of a
few days before they will be a thing OF
. the past. For week or longer men and
teams were engaged In cutting down the
hill on F. street between 18th and 10Th
streets southwest where the new cold
storage plant is to be erected. Thursday
one of the big steam shovels belonging to
Drake G. Stratton which was employed in
excavating the railway cut along Mary
land avenue southwest was taken out of
the cut and put to work cutting down the
hill. The shovel is making short work
of the bank. and in week or ten days it
will be down to the street level.
When the work at this point Is COM
pleted tha shovel will he taken to thu
square south of II street between Sth and
9th southwest and will level the hill there
so that th- property can be used as um-
Der storage yard by Johnson & Wimsatt,
who recently purchased 1t for that pur-
pose. When these hills are cut down but
few traces of the high land along the
river will be left in the southwest Sec
ton.

ANOTHER HEAVY
SNOWFALL

Yesterday brought another heavy
snow storm, which blocked the side
walks and made travel with vehicles
slow and laborious.
The snow began falling about 2 a.
IN. and continued without intermis-
sion until about 3 O'Clock Yesterday
afternoon. At times the flakes fell
thick and fast and accumulated on the
ground at the rate of over two inches
an hour. There was high tempeIat-
ure and the snow was soft and adhe-
sive. which caused it to pack tight
and to cling tenaciousiy to trees, tele-
graph and telephone poles, wires and
other overhead objects.
Last evening the snow lay about a
foot thick on the ground, while the
trees, with their branches clothed with
snow, presented beautiful sight.
Unless colder weather ensue it is fear.
ed the snow will speedily vanish.
A few sleighs and sleds were in
evidence yesterday. Only those who
had urgent business, however. ventur-
ed out on the country roads and those
who undertook to make a trip of any
distance in carriages had trying ex-
perience of it. Slow progress was
made, while the horses were literally
overcome with fatigue.
The Danyille and Bloomsbury Street
Railway company had its snow plow
out early in the day and was able to
keep its cars running on schedule
practically all day.
The ear on the Danville and Sun
bury Transit company's line was out
of commission for a couple of hours
during the afternoon. The snow plow
improvised for the road, drawn two
horses, was run over the line. mus
the track was put in fairly good con-
dition and last evening the car was
running on schedule.

Captain W|RZE
Of ANDERSONV|LLE

Editor American According to
the southern press it has been de-
cided by the Daughters of the Con-
federaGy" to erect a monument in me-
mory of Captain Wire, the keeper of
Andersonville prison. An article in
last weeks North American" stated
that as first planned the inscription
contained the information "that the
commander of Andersonville had been
tried by an illegal court and unjustly
put to death.
When the Daughters or the 'Confetf-
eracy condescend to erect monument
to the memory Of one of the most cruel
and Eeartless monsters of all history,
they not only do injustice to every
valiant soldier, north and south, but
they do great injustice to their sex
and the cause they are supposed to rep
resent.
Captain Wire was tried by mil
itary commission IN 1865 for the mur-
der Of Federal prisoners,I committed
to his charge at Andersonville. The
writer heard the trial throughout.
The testimony by some of the survlv-
ors as to his cruelty, as they related
his brutality and his foul murders,
seemed almost incredible. One man
whom he had deliberately shot down
for asking him question and left ap-
parently dead, was a witness against
him. Wire. himself, looked upon
this man as one risen from the grave.
The tes stimony throughout revealed a
nature than which there could be none
more inhuman or brutal.
He was guarded to and from the
prison by members of my regiment.
So strong was the sentiment against
him that had it not been for his strong
military escort the people of Washing
ton would have hanged him on the
spot.
When the drop fell in the prison
hundreds who had climbed and perch-
ed themselves on the trees and house
tops waved their hats and shouted for
joy. 1t was q scene, the like of which
1 never want to witness again, but it
was the brutality of the man (if he
could be called mani that psralyzed
the natural sympathy of the heart
and led to the scenef have described.
Captain Wirze was hanged on Friday,
November 10, 1865.
