100000 FOR CHE
Ian INDIANS
CHELAN ALLOTEES WILL RE-
CEIVE THAT SUM-OVER $780,
900 ALREADY PAID AND IN
DAMS ARE INVESTING MONEY.

With the consummation of the
deals now pending between the Wap-
alto Irrigation company and the Wap-
alto allotee Indians, approximately
100000 in cash will have been paid
into the hands of local siwashes, says
the Chelan eLader. Transfers have
already been made of four or five al
lotments and over $4,000 has now
been received by the Indians making
the sales. The other deals have not
yet been closed up, but 1t is reason
ably certain that all will be satisfac-
torily settled within the next few
days.
In addition to this large sum in
cash and as further and more val
liable consideration for the sale Of
their lands, the Indians are to receive
a free water right for the 80 acres
retained by each allottee, until the
expiration Of the conditional patents
issued by the government, which will
be in about seven years, and the ir-
rigation company contracts to deliver
this water not later than June l,
1911.
On the advice of white friends and
of the, special government agents who
are looking after their interests, the
Indians are investing the proceeds of
the sales of their lands, after all
their debts have been paid, in income
producing property. 1t was for one
of them that the Chelan Transfer
companys property on Woodin ave-
nue. was recently purchased. Another
is negotiating for one of Chelan's
best brick business blocks, and still
another has invested in business

Of YOUTH
N sight
PROFESSOR BELIEVES HE CAN
SOON OFFER TO WORLD THE
GREATEST OF ALL DISCOV-
ERIES.

Paris, Oct. 81 have Just come
from the ''life prolonging plant" pre-
sided over by Professor Ellie Metcn-
nikoff. 1t Is the Pasteur institute
where Metchnikoff is now working
on the greatest of all his discoveries,
an antidote to counterfeit the influ-
ence of putrefaction In the large in
testines, to which the professor at
tributes the majority of human Ills
It was recently announced that
Metchinkoff had perfected his dis
covery which soon would startle the
world. This statement was prema-
ture, however, but it was on the right
track. The professor has strong
hopes of finding the sought for germ
icide, but it will be some time In the
event the success finally does reward
him, before the fountain of youth"
becomes available commercially.
Regarding the discovery, which is
an enlargement of his theory of the
destructive. qualities of lacto-bacciline
the professor believes that his new
preparation, when perfected, will de-
stroy the food germs that wear out
the intestines and kill he germs
originating from the large intestines.
In speaking of his work, the pro-
lessor said:
My first discovery was the sim
plest thing in the world I took ordi-
bacilli known as bulgari, which
soured the milk in twenty-four hours.
The milk then was ordinary sour
milk except that it did not contain
many specimens of bacilli. 1t con-
tanned only the bacilli which destroys
the harmful germs taken with food"
Efforts to induce MetchniK6ff 70
commit himself regarding his later
discovery, which medical men con-
cede will be the greatest boon ever
offered to mankind, proved futile.
He said:
wait and see I think that soon
will be able to announce definite re-
suits, and have every reason to be-
lieve that they will be all that I now
hone for"
