The Benton County Teachers
Institute, which held an interest
ing session here last week, was
brought to a close by the conclu-
sion of the examinations Saturday.
This has been one of the most sue
cessful Institutes ever held here.
Many addresses of Importance and
interest were delivered before the
teachers, and the attendance was
large and enthusiastic, 90 teachers
being enrolled. AS whole the
examinations we're practical, and
seem to nave given satisfaction.
Among the resolutions adopted
was the endorsement OF Instructor

like that Witnessed here yesterday

THREE INDIANS LEFT.
Consumption and Civilization Have
Exterminated the Lumni.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. az
Whisky, consumption, and the white
man have camped on the trail of the
Lumni tribe of Indians, and but three
of this once powerful nation survive.
once the Lumni numbered thousands
and defied the most powerful tribes of
the northwest. The original territory
held by this tribe occupies the region
wherein lie the Olympic mountains.
Many battles were waged against the
northern Indians from British Column
bia and Vancouver island.
The decline of the Indians on Lumni
reservation became alarming a year
ago, when 100 died from heart dis
ease. Since then the survivors, num-
bering $50, have been dying rapidly.

only an old squaw and two young men

nal champions of aquatic sports and

HOUSE OF LORDS
SEEMS IN PERIL
Spokesman in Address Declares That
Liberal Party Is DOOmed-Not
Taken Seriously.

LONDON, Nov. 22.-"It is my opin-
ion that it is Impossible that a liberal
government can ever again bear the
burden of office unless it gives secur-
itr against repetition of the treat
ment that such measures as it has
had to undergo in the last four years."
This is a declaration by Lord Lore
burn, high chancellor, in a debate on
the budget in the house of lords today
and had an electrical effect on the
liberal members of the house of COM
mons who crowded the galleries. They
consider it the governm ent's last word
before the general election and that
Premier Asquith will make some
declaration in the house of commons
next week and that the long delayed
campaign against the house of lords
will begin in earnest.

PENDLETON FACTS.

The local option forces have re-
ceived the following letter setting
forth the dry side of the situation in
Pendleton:
w. e. Zuppann, North Yakima, Wash.
Dear Sir-The facts about Pendle-
ton are these. About three months
before the election which voted the sa-
looms out, the county central commit
tee elected Col. Newport of Hermiston,
Hon. Mr.. Vinson of Milton, and my
self as the executive committee with
power to arrange all sub committees
and workers. We had abundant &C.
casion to have the work thoroughly
done. This. is what we discovered
Pendleton at that time had 96sempty
houses and a wooden mill not running.
had been silent for years. 1t was over
100000 in debt and very backward
in city improvements, with tax levy
high and police service very bad.
There were 26 saloons in the place,
mostly on Main street, it was filled
with loafers and Migrants, and 1t was
impossible for woman to walk down
the west side of Main street without
being disgraced by the bad elem ent
staring her out of countenance. The
criminal element overlooked the place.
We investigated every thing we could
find that had any bearing on the mat
ter. We found one of the most dis
graceful situations in any American
city Back Of one of the chief hotels,

WANT SQUARE
DEAL, THAT'S ALL
George OIney Says His People are
not Disposed to Oppose Govern
ment III Treated Fairly.

George Olney. of Fort Simcoe, is
here attending court, and stated last
night that the Indians on the reserva-
ton are not disposed to turn down
any proposition which the government
might make on the matter of water
rights from the Wapato canal Mr..
Olney said that his people feel they
have not been dealt with fairly as
regards the timber land now in dis
pute along the western border of the
reservation, and if the government
will make some sort of a settlement
on this. the Indians will consider the
matter of water rights.
THE Indians merely want a square
deal" said Mr.. Olney. I'VE believe
the timber land belongs to us, that it
was sold by the governmen to white
men without first making a settle
ment with us. and until the govern
ment treats us fairly in that matter,
we will not feel sure that they will
treat us fairly in the matter of water
rights

SHOOTS At CAT;
BRINGS DOWN HORSE
Efforts of Californian to End Lifo Of
a Feline Fail Because Larger
Animal Gets in the Way.

VALLEJO, Cal, Nov. 22.-The cat
proverbially comes back. and Tom,
the family pet of c. l.. Winchell, a
hardware merchant of Vallejo, proved
no exception. Tom is 9 years old and
Milton Donnadieu, delivery man en-
ployed by Winchell at his store, was
told to take the decrepit feline forth
and kill it.
Hitching his horse up and taking a
big shotgun, Milton drove far out into
the suburbs. While he was tying the
horse the cat, intuitively feeling that
all was not as it should be, broke from
his bonds and set off down the road
with speed highly creditable in one SO
aged.
Not willing to be thwarted Donna
dieu grasped his gun and fred, but
as he did so the horse, annoyed by
flies, threw up his head, receiving the
entire charge Of shot between his
ears, and dropped dead in his tracks.

THINKS SPOKANE IN DISGRACE.
b. d. SwartwOOd Sends Editorial
Which Expresses His Views.

B. D. Swartwood of this city recent
Iy picked up a copy of the Tribune
Citizen of Albuquerque, N. M, and in
it he found an editorial under the
caption Spokane's Disgrace which
struck him as JUST about right. Be-
ing a socialist Mr.. Swartwood thinks
that the I. w. w. workers of Spokane
should be allowed to conduct their
propaganda according to their own
ideas rather than according to accept
ed notions of propriety. The editor
ial in question follows:
The spectacle now being presented
to the country by the city of Spokane
in attempting to suppress free speech
is a disgrace. 1t is more than dis
grace; it is an outrage.
The police of that city are them
selves violators of the law. They are
lawbreakers of a more dangerous type
than any of those whom they have at
tempted to suppress by overriding
the constitution of the United States.
Behold the spectacle that is pre-
sented by Spokane in the last few
days. We have an arbitrary and
shameful denial of the constitutional
right or every citizen TO free speech
and a tyranical attempt to force into
submission those whose rights have
been denied by throwing them into
Jail with as much promptness and as
little regard for the law of the land
and the liberty of the citizens as is
shown in Turkey or the realm of the
czar.
Who says the men who have been
driven from the streets by fire hose
and policemen's clubs have no right
to speak? The police of Spokane? And
who are the police of Spokane? Are
they greater than the constitution?
The people who have been placed
behind the bars have right to be
heard. The quarrel against them is not
that they block the sidewalks. 1t is
that they have begun to inquire why
republican panaceas for industrial ills
are not working out, and because they
are about ready to demand an
answer.

FEAR NEGRO RULE.


FOLCROFT, Pa, Nov. 22.-The
white residents of this village have
organized to oppose the application Of
the colored residents to make Fol-
croft a borough. The whites, many
of whom own handsome homes, real
ize that the colored voters would be
in such a majority that it would mean
an entire set of colored officeholders
''We want to make Folcroft essen
TALLY colored borough and a place
for colored persons to rseide," said
Robert kelson, a negro contractor
eve are in the majority here"
William Balus, another colored
man, said the negroes want to run
things themselves, have their own
government.
The whites declare that if the ne
groes want a borough they should ap-
ply for incorporation for their own
settlement. but that If they include
all of Folcrofet interesting develop
ments will follow through the courts.
