THE MARRIAGE MILL
GRINDs SLOWLY.
Warm Weather Makes Dull Days ON
the Matrimonial Market.

the Matrimonial Market.
The marriage license business at
the auditors Office Is dull. Shortly
after the enactment OF the Washing
ton law it hourished and from seven
to fourteen licenses were issued
daily. but for the past ten days it has
been quiet and only two or three
have been issued each day. and today
but one permit was granted. Just
what is the reason for this condition
of affairs is not known, unless 1t is
because of the opening of the hearts
of the examining physicians in spo-
kane in deciding to not charge for an
examination Of applicants.
The license issued today was to F.
j. Kline, aged 5S years, and Fora w.
Mulholland, aged AZ years. Both
gave Spokane as their residence. An
application was also made by another
Spokane party for a license, but when
he learned that his license would not
permit the ceremony to be performed
In the city of Spokane, but that 1t
must be performed within the boun-
daries OF Idaho, he became undecided
upon the question. During his state
of indecision Deputy Clerk Foster in
terrogated him as to the brlde-to-be |
and made up his mind that she was
not of legal age, and stated that It |
would be necessary for him II he de-
sired to secure license to bring her
along. After consideration OF the
matter he decided to secure the H.

INDIAN HISTORIAN
STOPPING AT LAPWAI.
Il. 5. Curtis 90 Write Folk Lore OF
Neg Perces.

LEWISTON. Idaho. July 24.-E.
5. Curtis, the Indian historian, whose
photographs of Indian folk are
sought by lovers of art, is In Fort
Lapwai to make a study of the Neg
Perez tribe, with a view of writing
the history of these famous Indians.
Mr.. Curtis is considered the most &C.
curate and faithful Indian historian
of all time, and when he completes
his work he Will have given to litera-
ture faithful history of the North
American Indian.
For twelve years he has been at
work on his history and expects to
spend eight years In completing the
work. His photographs have at
traeted wide attention and are in de.
mand by all Indian eurio collectors,
for Mr.. Curtis seems 10 have the art
of posing his subjects so that the
minute details of tribal customs are
depicted.
When completed a full set of Mr..
Curtis works will cost $4,000, and
1t is estimated that 1t will cost 81
100000 to gather the data and pub
fish the works. No less a lover OF
art than J. p. Morgan is associated
financially with Mr. Curtis, and but
for the financial assistance of the
famous Wall street broker Mr.. Cur
tbs would be unable to get such com
plete data.

REGISTRATION
MOVES SMOOTHLY
Notaries All Securing Business
From the Steady Stream
of LandseekePS.

One hundred and three thousand
and fifty is the total number of appli-
cations received by Superintendent
James w. Witten for lands in the
three Indian reservations. The reg
istration for the Occur d'Alene yes
terday was an average, $50
which brings the total up to 39,159.
The total for the Spokane is 1892,
and for the Flathead 24,569. By
reason of the fact that today is Sat-
urday it is expected that the regis
tration will be heavier than on the
previous day, as there will be num-
Der of people from neighboring towns
in the northern section of the state
who will take advantage of the day
to register, and it is expected that
the crowd from the distant points
will also be equally as large, if not
larger. In the event that there is no
decrease in the registration for the
remainder Of the period when the
notary booths will close their doors at
midnight on August 5, there will
have registered approximately 1OO,-
600 people for the Occur d'AIene res
ervation.
The work of registering the land
seekers is progressing nicely The
intense rivalry between the notaries
for business has abated and no trou-
BILE is being experienced with any of
them. All of the landseekers are of
an orderly and peaceful character,
and beyond experiencing little trou-
BILE with few who imbibe too heav-
lily in laughing water, a sneak thief

Guard Applications.
P. R. Miner, of Washington, D. c.,
who is connected with the interior de-
partment, has been appointed United
States deputy marshal, and together
with Deputy United States Marshal
W. NJ. Witten, has entered upon his
duties as guard of the application
boxes. During the daytime a guard
Is unnecessary, but during the night
when the superintendent and his as
slstants and clerks are absent an OPP
portunity might present itself for
some one to tamper with the boxes
containing the applications for lands
IN the three reservations, and the
two men will be on guard duty dur
Ing the night to see that this is not
done, and also that there may be no
tampering by any one with any of the

try and the trains delegations from
the Inland Empire, and it is esti-
mated that about 1000 Woodmen
and their families are in the CITY
this afternoon. The delegations from
the various towns were met at the
dock and depot by the reception com
mlttee, and little after IL O'Clock
the delegations, headed by the Occur

sion and marched up to the speakers

cession at the speakers stand j. L.
Robinson, chairman OF the reception
committee, introduced Mayor Hamil-
ton, who made an address of welcome
in behalf of the city of Occur d'Alene
to the visitors. He was followed with
an address by Rev. William H. Fry,
OF the Methodist church, who is also
a member of the organization. After
the addresses the members of the or
ganization and their families went to
the park, where they enjoyed an old
fashioned picnic.
Sports This Afternoon.
The afternoon is being spent in
sports and other amusements. From
until 6 O'Clock this afternoon and
from 8 o'clock until midnight dane
ing will be INDUCED in at the Black
well pavilion. The sports commenced
in the afternoon at o'clock and will
last until o'clock tonight. The pro-
gram as arranged contained a 100
yard foot race, which was made free
for-all; a 50-yard fat mems race; a
50-yard ladies race; a boys race,

also be effected that will have for its
object the making of the picnic an |
annual event. 1t is believed that |
such an annual event will have the
effect of not only giving the members
of the organization an opportunity to
enjoy themselves, but that it will |
also establish a closer relationship |
between them. The Royal Neigh
bors, the auxiliary of the organiza-
ton. will also participate and thus
bring the members OF this organiza-
ton into a closer relationship with
those of the Woodmen. The organi-
cation has been given the free use of
the park and the privileges of the
city by the city council.
