RIGHT OF STATE.
To List Half Breeds Property to
be Tested.

Has the state of Minnesota right
to list for taxation the property of
half-breeds?
A case which will decide this i'm
portant issue was commenced at De-
troit, Mimi, Tuesday, the federal
government representing the Indians
through the Minnesota district attor-
ney.
The assessors of Clearwater, Nah
nomen and Becker counties have list
ed large amount of real property
the title to which is vested in half
breed Indians.
These owners, backed by Uncle
Sam, claim they are government
wards, and exempt from taxation.
The hearing which will open at De-
troit tomorrow will be before spe.
cial master, who in turn will report
all testimony to the federal court.
The question is vital one as in
some of the northern counties millions
of dollars OF property are owned by
Indians.

]. ]. HILL HONORED
Famous Railroad Builders Statue
To Adorn Washington Univer-
sity Campus. To Be un-
yelled By Gov. Johnson.
Japanese Ambassador Present.

The colossal bronze bust of James
). Hill, the railroad builder, on the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
grounds, which are a part of the
campus of the University of Wash
lngton, has arrived at Seattle from
New York last Monday and was UNI
yelled by Gov. John A. johnson on
the afternoon of Aug. 3.
The bust, which is an excellent like
ness, was paid for by public subscrip-
ton as IAN appreciation of Mr.. Hills
inestimable service to the northwest
Ihe pedestal of the bust is of Wash
lngton granite except three blocks
from Yokohoma, Japan; Fox Island,
B. c., and st. Cloud, MINI.
In all the unwilling ceremonies Mr..
Hills binding of three great nations
together by iron ties of peace and
commerce were brought out. The
bust was covered by three large silk
flags OF Japan, Great Britain and the
United States. Judge Thomas Burke
OF this city presided at the exercises
and introduced Governor johnson,
orator OF the day, who at the close of
his address unveiled the bust.
After the flags had fallen Governor
r. M. Hay of the state of Washington
presented the American flag to Mr..
Hill; Premier Richard Mcbride of
British Columbia, for Lieutenan
Governor James Dunsmuir, presented
the British flag, AID Ambassador
Takahira, gave the japanese flag to
the railroad builder. The bust will
stand in what is now known as Klon-
dixie circle, near the fine arts building,
a permanent structure.

The Heney Outrage.

Francis j. Heney, professional re-
former, received s23, 900 from the gov
ernment last year, and performed no
service whatever for this large amount
of money.
We have been watching the papers,
but find little protest, except from a
few "crankn papers.
Is it, or is it not, al outrage for a
man to draw $4,000 per year from the
government, without giving any SER
vice in return? Is it, or is it not. a
crime for government officials paid to
guard the government treasury, to
pass and pay such bill?
The statement that Heney drew this
amount OF money from the treasury
during last year, and that there was
no pretense OF his doing anything for
the money, was made on the floor of
the house of representatives by Chair
man Tawney, of the appropriations
committee. The statement is, there
fore. probably true.
This trans action is particularly sig
nificant because it represents a large
class of similar transactions; millions
of money are drawn down from the
United States treasury for which no
adequate return is given. And all the
time cry goes up from Washington,
and from every state capital and
country seat, for more taxes. Public
waste is the order of the day. The
tariff will be increased, in the face of
solemn party promise to reduce it.
An income tax is certain, if the poll
ticians can get around the law laid
down by the supreme court of the
United States. A tax on the incomes
OF corporations is also certain. The
people are being squeezed in every
manner possible, and the money
wasted. -Atchison Globe.

Scarcity of Help.

Wanted-10, 900 men for the harvest
fields of the Northwest along the
Great Northern line.
The annual man hunt of the great
Northwest is on and from now until
the harvest is over anything that
looks like possible harvest hand
will be chased to corner and draf-
ted into the service of the thresher.
Reports received today by the
Great Northern road are to the effect
that at least 10000 men will be needed
in the territory tapped by the Hill
road.
ALI indications are that the crop
will be the biggest in years and al
ready the farmers are beginning to
worry over the scarcity of help.
The harvest is really on now. Bar
ley is being cut while the past few hot
nays have brought the wheat to the
cutting stage. From every locality
comes the report ''wheat fine and
bumper CROP"
Wages in the harvest fields will
range from $3.50 to So a day, and the
more men who come looking for work
the better the farmers will be suited.
At Breckenridge, Mimi, 500 men
are wanted: at Grand Forks, N. D.,
700: Langdon, N. D., 1900; Devils
Lake, $500; Rugby, 1000. Other
points range from 200 to 500 men.
Freight men believe the crops will
be the largest in years and every box
car in service will be rushed to the
wheat folds as soon as possible:

LINCOLN PENNIES" ISSUED.
They Appeared Today In Honor Of
His Tooth Anniversary.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 2. = The
new "Lincoln pennies,'' struck off in
commemorative of the Tooth anniver-
sary of the late presidents birth, were
issued Monday from the mint here.
The head of Lincoln which appears
on the coin was taken from photo
graph in the possion of Charles Eliot
Norton. The artist makes the face
relaxed and smiling, seeking particu-
larly to express Lincoln's face when
he was talking with children.
The artist is Victor D. Bremen, a
20-year-oid Russian, who as boy
came to this country and sold matches
on the streets and studied at nights
at the Cooper institute, New York.
He saved enough money to continue
his studies in Paris and has lately
opened studio in America.

The people do not need half the or
CARNATIONS intended to benefit them.
These organizations are intended to
benefit two or three paid managers,
and should be disbanded. The people
do not want them; they are not bene-
hted by them and cannot support
them. People are abused every day
for not giving money they should not
give, and cannot afford to give.
When an organization of any kind is
not self-supporting it should quit, and
not bore people by dragging out a
miserable existence. Busy men do
not like to have the salaried managers
of these societies come in and tell
them their duty; the busy men know
their duty better than their advisers.

Human Deprayity.

Sunday afternoon VIM. Winkel-
mann, the well-known dray man, re-
ceived a telephone message to come
across the bridge and from there take
woman with trunk and valise to
the Northwestern depot. Ever ready
to accommodate people, Mr.. Winkel-
mann started out and found the wo-
man just across the river, waiting to
be transferred with her baggage to
the depot. The woman was an entire
stranger and told pitiful story OF
human baseness and depravity This
is her story: She with her husband
and grown up son left Great Falls,
Wis. some time ago on prairie
schooner for Brookings S. D. to settle
there on an eighty acre farm. Here
they lived in a tent and the only work
the husband, whose name is said to be
Justus, ever dared to tackle was to
draw monthly pension to the amount
OF sl5, and in company with his son
get on continuous drunk. Finally he
came to the conclusion that this kind
of farming would hardly yield any
other crop but lot of snakes and
persuaded by his wife they pulled the
stakes and started back for Great
Falls, Wis. On reaching New Ulm
Saturday night the two men again in
dulged very heavily and taking the
woman across the river to remote
place in the woods put her off the
wagon, dumped her baggage on the
ground and lett with the rig for parts
unknown. The unfortunate woman
had nothing to eat all day Sunday as
she did not dare to leave her baggage
unprotected. Finally she was found
by q member of the Mueller family
who provided her with food and called
up Mr.. Winkelmann. He took her
over to the Northwestern depot. She
left early Monday morning for Great
Falls, Wis. her former home, having
just enough money in her possession
to purchase the ticket.

Last Sunday, July 25, being the
fifteenth wedding anniversary of Rev.
and Mrs. F. Koehler, their many
friends of the Lutheran church deemed
it fitting occasion to swoop down
upon them and celebrate the event.
At 700 p. m. the large crowd, num-
bering about 400 persons, arrived at
the parsonage, and the evening was
spent in a social way on the lawn.
The Germania band and the church
choir entertained the guests with a
number of nice selections, and refresh
ments were served. AS token of re-
spect and esteem, the worthy couple
were presented with a purse of $50
which was presented on behalf of the
congrega by H. Enter. Rev.
Koehler responded in his pleasant
way, expressing the appreciation for
himself and wife at the evidences of
friendship on the part of the company.

remembered by all who perpetrated

Tariff Talk.

clothing and food of the common peo-
pie are in for another rise in prices
as a result of the Taft-Aldrich-Payne
tariff bill which is now ready for pass
age. The trusts have shown their in
huence> through all the ramifying
schedules of the bill and everywhere
the common, everyday, breadand-
butter strugglers get the worst of it.
Here is what they get:
An increase of duties on cottons
from which the poor man has his
clothing made. There is also an in
crease on cotton hosiery for the benefit
of the numerous Pennsylvania trust
factories. No one doubts for a
moment that these manufacturers will
increase the price of woman's and
children's hosiery as result of the
heavy duties. Lacking foreign COM
petition, the domestic manufacturers
will enjoy a greater control of the
market.
There is no change in the wooden
schedules, with the result that the
workingman, fortunate enough to
have his clothes made of this material,
will still pay the heavy Dingley rates.
The National Association of Cloth
iers recently protested to the president
and to congress against alleged in
CAPABILITIES in the wool schedules, and
asserted that an advance in prices
would be made to the wearers of
clothes by the continuance of the
Dingley rates-an advance caused
by conditions that had materially
changed since the enactment of the
old law.
A combination of worsted mills
openly claiming to produce &c 2-3 per
cent of all the worsted cloths used for
mems wear was debating, it was
alleged, not only the price OF Ameri-
can wool but arbitrarily fixing the
price of cloth.
Just for the sake of putting up a
little bluff there is shown on the face
of the bill slight but inappreciab,e
decrease in the duty on sugar, while
in fact the two houses and the con-
ferees showed the same consideration
for the sugar schedule as they did for
the woolens. The reduction in sugar
rates is SO inappreciable that it will
not be felt by the consumer, Mr.. Payne
being to the contrary. In the mean
time the sugar trust will continue to
wax fat.
One of the workingman's Injuries,
his tobacco, has been legislated upon
only in favor of the growers and the
tobacco trust. The tobacco schedule
is practically unchanged but it con-
tains several sections benefting the
growers and the trust.
The section removes the internal
revenue tax on unstemmed leaf tobac-
co, which is in the interest of the
growers, who assert they are forced to
sell their product to the trust in con-
sequence of the operations of the
existing law. But, upon manufactures
of tobacco an internal revenue tax of
8 cents a pound is levied, which is ex-
pected to benefit the trust.

New York, Jan. 22.-Another deposit

Clemmons Gould, who is suing How
ard Gould for a separation on the
ground of cruelty and nonsupport, has
been filed. It was that of Nav Robson,
the actress, and was taken before a
referee appointed by the supreme
court.
Miss Robson deposed that she had
known Mrs. Gould for five or six years
and had been her guest at Castle Gould
and at several luncheons. While in
Philadelphia in October, 1908, she had
attended a supper at the Bellevue
Stratford given by Mrs. Gould. She
had met there besides Mrs. Gould, Miss
Selb, Miss Shackford and Dustin Far
mum, the actor.
The witness was asked whether she
had remained with Mrs. Gould that
night but said she could not be positive
although she recollected occupying a
twin bed with Mrs. Gould on one occa-
sion.
The day after the supper which was
on Saturday she said she again saw
Mrs. Gould and that night had some

that night, but thought he was.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-WHEAT-LiberaI ship
ments of wheat during the week from
