RATE is EXToRTONATE.
ftitzville Farmers Compelled to Pa,
$2.10 Per Ton on Wheat TO Tacomo

A special from Ritzville Wash.
says Of the grain rates from there to
Tacoma:
That the Northern Pacific railroad
nets $2.1O per ton on wheat shipped
from Ritzville to Tacoma. and that
the Great Northern nets an equal
amount on wheat shipped from Odessa
to Tacoma, was one of the surprising
bits of evidence brought out at the
session of the state railroad commits
sion which. opened in Ritzville this
morning.
These figures were given during the
testimony of o. o. Calderhead, secre-
tary Of the commission, and a man
well versed in railroad matters. The
hearing is on a complaint filed and
represented by w. r. Cunningham, sr.,
acting, 1t Is said, for the farmers of
this district, in which he alleges that
the freight rates on wheat to tide
water are excessive from eastern
Washington.
J. A. Alexander assistant attorney
general, and W. H. Ludden, of Spo-
kane, represent Mr. Cunningham. The
Great Northern is represented by L.
C. Gilman, of Seattle, and the North
ern Pacific by Judge r. S. Grosscup,

STATEHOOD CAN'T STOP
THE INDIAN DANCES

A letter from Hoskogee, Oklahoma,
says Of the midsummer Indian dances
of the five tribes:
Those who believe that with the
coming of statehood Poor Lo would
Immediately abandoned all habits and
customs beloved Of his ancestors and
become cheap civilized" citizen and
voter are doomed to disappointment.
The arrival OF spring mas sent the
warm blood bounding through the
veins Of the redskins and nothing
short OF a "green corn dance" will
serve as vent for their bottled-up en-
thusiasm. Therefore. 10 will dance,
and the preparations for the festivals,
which are held during the latter part
of May, are now being made.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-13

At the commencement of the Green
corn" dance the Indians gather from
all parts of the reservation at the
dance house, a large barn-like build
ing with a dirt floor. hardened and
worn smooth from much tramping.
They come to the dance with their
| faces painted and wearing their finest
clothing and trinkets. 1t is a full
dress" affair.
Each day Of the "green-corn" cele-
bration, the dancing begins at 10
O'Clock in the morning and lasts un-
til about midnight. At intervals of
from two to five hours the dancers
have an intermission of about 80 min
utes, which is spent in feasting on rice,
chicken, possum and dog meat and
smoking the pipe of peace"
Sometimes the Indians will dance
in wild frenzy for 10 hours without
once going out of the circle.
OF the whites, only the "squaw
men," who took an oath of allegiance
to the tribe when they married their
Indian wives, are permitted If they
are painted and dressed in the Indian
costume.
There is more or less love-making
at all of the dances, but there are
more betrothals at the "green corn"
dance than at any other. Possibly
this is true because 1t comes in the
spring, when the Indians heart, as
well as the white mans, "lightly turns
to thoughts Of love-" This celebra-
tion is not regarded as a success by the
younger members of the tribe unless
1t is followed in three or four months
by several weddings.

Colorado Case Decided Against Stock,
men - Grazing Regulations Are
Not Observation-Disclosures
has Perfect Right to Make Reg
ulatlons and Enforce Them-Other
Similar Cases Pending.

The government has Just won II
sixth important case concerning tn
validity Of the regulations made b.
the secretary Of agriculture to contro
grazing in the national forests Il
the United States court at Denver
Colorado, Judge Robert e. Lewis ha
overruled the demurrer OF Fred Ligh
a wealthy stockman of PitkIn county
Colorado, which contended that tn,
grazing regulations in force on the ma
tional forests are unconstitutional.
The whole case revolved around thu
contention by some Colorado stock
men that the government is no more
than a private land owner in the mat.
ter of state fence laws. A number OF
states have fence laws which make
1t impossible for private person tc
collect fees or damages from owners
OF stock which stray upon his land
unless the land is fenced. The nation
al forests are not fenced and on this
the stockmen based their refusal to
pay grazing fees.
A friendly suit TO test the regula-
tions OF the secretary Of agriculture
prohibiting the drifting OF stock up
on the forest. At the public lands con-
vention held in Denver last June the
forest officers and representatives of
the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' association, OF which Mr.. Light is
a member. agreed TO a friendly suit.
The case Is practically the same as the
famous Shannon case in Montana, in
which the grazing regulations were
also upheld.
The decision OF Judge Hunt in this
Montana case was affirmed by the
United States court Of Appeals at the
ninth circuit sitting at San Francisco
on Februry 3, this year. That deci-
sion stated without qualification that
the grazing regulations are reasonable
and valid and that the state land laws
do not apply to the national forests
and that therefore. the drifting of
stock upon the forests In violation of
the regulations is trespassing, not
withstanding the state law.
The Light decision simply affirm
ed the same principle in another jur-
isdiction. The attorneys for Mr.. Light,
under the agreements made before the
trial, are bound not to dispute the
facts. but will probably appeal the le-
gal questions for decision by the cir
cult court OF appeals at st. Louis.
Eventually 1t will be earned up to the
supreme court.
The other suits attacking the graz
ing regulations won by the govern
ment are the following cases: The

1t no slight task to cancel the extern

tracts had already been signed with
English and Australian managers who
had to be paid heavy bonus for re-
leasing "The Clansman" from It's
190S-9 bookings. The difficulties
have all been smoothed out however,
and no obstacle remains In the way

As play which has been witnessed
by more ,~on 100000 people and
which strikingly sets forth the Anglo

the black, brown and yellow races,
"The Clansman" will present a pc
culiar fascination to Pacific coast
piay-goers. It's performance in this
city will constitute perhaps the chief
event of the dramatic season. Prac-
tically the same company and magni-
ficent scenic production will be
brought here that won the favor Of
