CASH IN ADVANCE.

In March. 1887. I became part
owner OF The Herald and News and
have been connected with the paper
continuously since that time. I was
with the paper couple Of years prior
to that time when under other own
ership. I have, therefore, been the
editor for nearly twenty-five years.
During that time my duties have al
50 been to keep the books and sub
scription accounts.
I have always had great faith and
confidence in the honesty Of the peo-
pie and their purpose to pay their
debts. For that reason I have never
believed [ could conduct strictly
cash in advance subs. ription.
For the past few months I have
been giving closer study to the sit
nation than ever before.
When the postofice department is
sued it's order that a subscription to
a semi-weekly more than nine months
in arrears could not be accepted at
the second-class rate we endeavored
to comply with the order and had to
cutt off about $50 names. We first
sent each subscriber at least two let
tiers calling attention to the ruling be-
sides mention Of it was made in the
paper. This fall we have sent an
other letter to these persons but we
have received no response.
These $50 owed us over $4,000.
Many of them not only did not pay
what they owed but weai directly and
subscribed f.. or colemporary and
paid for it. We have no objection to
that but we mention it as reason
for the shaking Of our faith in the
honesty Of the people. It certainly
was striking evidence Of ingratitude.
We still have a good many sub
scribers who are in arrears. State
ments have been sent or will be sent
in few days to all Of these.
During the 25 years Of our eonnec-
tion with this newspaper We have
lost in unpaid subscriptions at least
$4,000. We have no one to blame
but ourself and the people would
have thought more Of US if we had
made them pay it. We are not COM
planning but we propose to stop this
leak or 60 out of the business.
After the first day of February The
Herald and News will be run strictly
on the cash in advance plan. A post
card Will be mailed you giving you
thirty days notice so that you may
have time to send in your renewal
and to remind you if you should over
look it.
There are doubtless some errors in
the credits. If you will call our at
tention to these we will gladly make
the correction and in every case will
give the subscriber the benefit Of the
doubt.
It takes too much Of our time to
send statements and to pay postage.
We will keep no books except our
receipt stubs and cash book and the
mailing galleys.
We shall hate to part with any sub
scribers but we cannot longer be an

mony and pomp, the Indians assem-
bled at the waters edge, where
fires were started and the flames
smothered. Chief Tomanawas I'M
personated the war god to salute
the newcomers.
When the moon appeared at
certain point lin the sky, the squaws
began a death chant, which was
weird and wild in the extreme, their
voices mingling with the bowling OF
the coyotes. Winnebishu, declared
to be the oldest squaw In the PACING
Northwest, Frustrated herself be-
fore the central fire at the beginning
of the chant and as her voice gave
expression to tones like the wall OF
q lost soul, the fires in turn, were
uncovered and the squaws formed a
circle about them. At points be-
tween the fires the headmen took
positions, each decked in the war
paint and the head-ieather or the
old days.
! Squaws and girls, with the old
fashioned pestle and mortar, ground
grain for the food. The corn and
wheat had been charmed by the
medicine men. The chanting of the
SQudWS cOulluuco tWShts
when Chief Tomanawas arose from
a crouching position in the center o.
the big circle, and, giving a shou
which echoed along the hills, com
manded those assembled to barker
to the last voice of the warriors
which would ever be heard IN tn'
Columbia river valley.
At the close Of his address, whlci
was largely of historical character
the veteran chieftan squatted on TN
ground, and the Indians Joined tn
chant of the aged squaw, who, dur
ing the early part of the ceremon'
and the chiefs big talk, prostrate'
, herself, squirming to free hersel
from the bands which bound her an
, the others of the tribe to this par
of the river lands. When all wa
! quiet the squaw uttered a terrify
ing scream and swooned, strikin
, the ground with force.

woman. the chief and his tribesmen,
disregarding all formalities, gather
ed around the caldron of steaming
.'mulligans," and during the follow
ing fifteen minutes they did full
Justice to the dish. At the close OF
the feast there was dance, several
of the Indians doing the torture
dance with their war clubs. When
this was over Chief Tomanawas and
his men knelt at the waters edge
on the bank of the river, and, rails
ing their faces to the heaven they
voiced another dirge-like song.
At midnight. when the moon had
reached the point in the sky for
which the farewell had been timed,
the fires on the river bank were
smothered, canoes were pushed into
the water, the aged squaw was plac-
ed on rudely built litter and shov-
ed into one of the skiffs, and, with
blankets around their heads and
shoulders, Chief Tomanawas and
the Indians took their places In
their crafts At signal from the
chieftain the canoes were paddlec
out into the swift waters of the Col
umbia river and the passing of the
red man from the valley became
matter of history.

Drummer Lost His Grip.

A booze drummer came in here
on the early train this morning.
While No. stood at the station the
fellow got out on the platform ana
stated that somebody had carried
away his grips. He said he got on
the train at Mexia to go to Dallas.
He put his grips down and went to
sleep. When he awoke here he failed
to find his property. When he men
toned samples there was a rush to
assist him to 6nd his grips. Conduc-
tors, porters, brakemen, car inspec-
tors, passengers, baggagemen, po-
licemen, hack drivers, and newspa-
per reporters all got busy. 1t was
soon found that the sample case
was safe but empty and that the lost
grip contained nothing but papers
and old clothes and then the crowd

LEAVING HUNTING GROUNDS.
Indians Hold Final Pow-WoW In
state of Washington.

Spokane, Wash, April 4.-Chief
Tomanwas and his tribe of Siwashes
have said their farewells and taken
formal leave Of their favorite hunt
ing and fishing grounds on the Col
umbia river, near what is to be the
town of White Bluffs, in Douglas
county, southwest of Spokane. The
final pow-wow. and potlatch took
place at night, and closed with the
tribal salute to the coming OF the
white race.
Graceful in his gestures and elo-
puent in tongue, Tomanawas deliver
ed the farewell Grafton, holding his
people literally spellbound for a
quarter hour, while he glorified
their deeds of valor, told of their
struggles against the white man and
of their battles with other tribes
who sought to invade the rich val
lev, where he and his tribesmen and
their forebears held sway many
years.
The ceremonials were witnessed
by a number of Yakimas, one time
the bitterest foes of the departing
tribe, also by a large gathering OF
settlers. who came into the valley In
advance of the trans-continenta
railroad now building through
Washington.
The farewell was preceded 81
three days of dancing, during which
the chief and headmen visited thu
old stamping groud, which marked
the scenes of their victories in thu
Yakima Indian wars. This was fol
lowed by twelve hours of fasting
during which the squaws and girl
prepared the camp for the final leav
taking.
At dusk the heads of the band
visited the tribal burial grounds, re
ouesting the newcomers to permi
the remains Of their departed bro
theirs to rest undisturbed. This rit
being carried out with much cers

inc:
'In 1907 there was a York Lodge
at Newberry {. H. numbered as 43,
which became ext ct between that
year and 1917. March IS. 1921. the
Grand Lodge granted Warrant for
its revival, with a new number II. In
1923 on application Of the Lodge its
number was changed from II to A,
the former number II being given to
a Lodge at WinSboTn. Lodge No. a.
made no returns after 1926, and was
suspended in 1880. And was reviv-
ed on March l. 1853. with the follow
ing officers:
E. S. Bailey, ". NJ.
". B. McKellar. S. ".
J. NJ. Philips. J! ".
From the above records it would
appear that the YcrS Lodge No. 43,
established at NewberTy in 1907, be-
came extinct about 1917. was renewed
in 1921 as Lodge No. Il. But Wins
boro having changed its old number
Of No. Is to No. II. the Newberry
Lodge was changed from Number No.
II to No. A. Was suspended in
1880. and then revived in 1858 as New

number it has continued to this day.
