INDIANS WILL GET
FAIR TREATMENT,
Chief Clerk IIaukc Says Government
Wants to Help Its Wards on
Yakima Reservation.

Statements made by Chief Clerk
Hauke of the Indian service indicate
that his department is anxious to set
tie matters on the Yakima Indian res
ervation to the advantage of the In
dams. According to Mr.. Hauke, the
officials at Washington have just come
to understand the conditions as they
exist on the reservation, and he was
sent for the purpose of getting further
information and advising his depart
ment at the national capital.
Relative to the attitude of the In
dams service toward the Yakima al
lottees, Mr.. Hauke declares that the
Indian will not be required to pay
more than $50 an acre for water
rights on his twenty acres which he
retains and need not pay this at once
but may extend the payments over a
period of ten years. The receipts from
the sale of the other sixty acres may
be used for any purpose in developing
the Indians land.
C. f.. Robin, a former lease clerk
on the Yakima reservation is expected
here today and will next week start
canvass of the Indians to ascertain
their wishes in the matter of dispos-
ing of part Of their allottments.

PROMISE INDIANS
LIBERAL TREATMENT
Commissioner Valentine Wires Chief
Clerk Haul<e Regarding
Jones Bill.

According to telegram received
Tuesday by Chief Clerk Hauke of the
Indian department from Commissioner
r. G. Valentine. the Indian depart
ment will be liberal in dealing with
Indians who take advantage of the
Jones bill and sell a part of their al
lotments to buy water rights for the
rest. The telegram to Mr.. Hauke is
as follows:
"Give assurance to Indian allottees
that proceeds of sales of surplus allot-
ments after deducting cost of water
will be paid to allottees for expendi-
ture in improvements on retained al
lotm ents, purchases of stock and
farming implements and for other in
vestment purposes under most liberal
departmental supervision"
If Commissioner Valentine means
that the Indians will receive the
money from the sale of their lands in
larger instruments than $40 month,
the chief objection which the Indians
have to the Jones bill will be removed
and they will no doubt sign up for
water under the Wapato ditch.

ISSUE WARNING TO MILLINERS
Bird on Nellic's Hat I'm Jeopardy
State Audubon Society Means Bush
ness i'm Enforcement of Old Law.

The State Audubon society, found
ed for the protection of BIRDS has ad-
dressed letters to local milliners, ad-
vising them of, and calling their at
tention to, the existing law against the
selling or having in their possession
plumes or parts of wild birds other
than game birds. The law and the
intention of the friends of the feath-
cred creatures to enforce the same
places "the bird on Nellie's hat in
jeopardy The law is looked upon as
a joke, although the strict enforce
ment of the measure in Oregon is
playing havoc with the trade of mil
liners. Especial warning is issued by
the bird society against the sale or
having in ones possession a popular
millinery fancy referred to as 'igret"
the plumes of the white and snowy
heron and other birds of the sea.
Letter of the Law.
No person shall, within the state Of
Washington, kill or catch or have in
his or her possession, living or dead,
any wild bird other than a game bird,
.
transport or ship within or without
the state, any such wild bird after
it has been killed or caught, except as
permitted by this act. No part of
the skin, plumage or body of any wild
bird protected by this section shall be
sold or had in possession for sale.
For penalties for violation of this
statute you are referred to the Grimm
al code of Washington and your at
tention is further called to the de-
cision rendered by the supreme court
of the United States, November 2,
1908. in the Sill case, which fully dis
poses of the question whether state
has the right to regulate the posses
sion and sale of plumage of birds ia
ken in the state or imported from any
place outside the state.

WELCOMES SHORT FRUIT CROP.
Zillah Man Has Had Bumper Crop
for Several Years and Has Won
Reputation.

J. B. Ramerman and wife of Zillah
passed through North Yakima We'd
nesday on their way home from the
A.-Y.-P. fair. Mr.. Ramerman is one
of the best known fruit growers in
the valley and his orchard at Zillah
has helped to make the reputation of
the valley. This year, however, Mr.
Ramerman is not paying much atten-
ton to fruit growing. This is largely
because he is not going to have much
fruit on his orchard. But he is not
in the least disappointed, he says, and
ratehr welcomes the situation.
For eight or nine years, I have
had more apples and fruit than l could
properly care for" said Mr.. Ramer-
man. 81 have done very WELL but
have worked hard. This year I am
going to take rest. 1 am glad of
the chance"
Mr.. Ramerman is accustomed to
seeing his picture and that of his
ranch often used in literature and in
publications. That is one of the hon
ors of a successful fruit grower. But
he was very much taken aback when
he went into the Yakima county
building at the A.-Y.-P. exposition
and saw an enlargement of his photo
graph on display for the thousands
who visit the fair. And so he feels
that his reputation is secure whether
or not he ever raises any more fruit,
and particularly is not worrying about
this year

MAY CALL ELECTION.
States Executive Declares He is i'm No
Hurry and Will Wait Until the Ex-
traordinary Session of Legislature

OLYMPIA, July 29.-"Tuesday. No
vember 2, is the date on which the
electors of the Second congressional
district will be called upon to select
a successor to the late Francis w.
Cushman," said Gov. M. f. Hay today.
The question was put to him fatty,
when do you propose to issue a call
for the special election?"
His answer was: when the legis-
lature convenes."
Continuing, he said: 81 want to con-
suit with the members of the legisla-
ture from the Second district and with
the leaders of the party before 1 issue
the call for the election. 1 think that
the legislature perhaps should pass a
bill providing the manner of nominal
ing candidates for the position, but
whatever course is provided, the call,
when issued, will be for November 2.
There is no necessity for an imme-
date election. In fact, l do not think
it would be wise to have an early cleo
ton. because the farmers, the lumber
men, the fishermen and others are now
in their busiest season."
"Is not the Second congressional dis
trict deprived of representation by the
failure to have an election?' was
asked.
Certainly not" said the governor.
1--WE have our two United States sena-
tors and two representatives, who are
fully able to look after the interests
of the Second district, which are those
of the whole state.
What l am trying to do Is to meet
the wishes and desires of the majority
of the people in the Second district.
Personally or politically, the calling
or not calling of an early election
makes no difference to me. So far as
; l am concerned there is no politics in
the matter at all. But my converse
tons with a number of residents of
the Second district have convinced me
that an early election would be unwise.
Today l received a letter from j. G.
Megler of Wahkiakum county, long a
mem Der of the legislature, and one of
the prominent citizens of the South
west. He Endorses my stand in declin-
ing to call an election at this time,
and says that he hopes l will not call
an election until November. He points
out that the fishermen in his region
are all busy and have no time for poll
tics just now.
when the legislature meets on Au-
gust II I propose to consult with the
members and leaders from the Second
district and learn their views and de-
sires. If they want to pass bill pro-
viding for nominations under the di-
rect primary, that will be satisfactory
to me. 1t also will be satisfactory il
they should pass a bill providing fol
nominations under the old convention
/ system. 1t is a matter for the Second
district to settle"

LIBBY 4 FORD ERECT BUILDING.
Yakima Auto Company VIII Move
From West Side and Occupy
All of Building.

Architects are preparing plans for
a two-story garage to be erected be-
tween Naches avenue and Fourth

The building will be two stories high
and 80 by 1872 feet, the whole build
ing to be occupied by the auto COM
pany. Libby and Ford are the owners
of the building.
The work shops and show rooms are
to be on the second floor. This will

afford a more central location than at
present

VALLEY TOWNS WILL UNITE.
PrOsser and Zillah Both Have Designs
for Floats for Use in Big Parade
of Progress.

Fl. r. Watson, president of the Pros
ser Commercial club was in North
Yakima Thursday, informing himself
on what this section of the valley in
tends to do at the irrigation congress
which convenes in Spokane August g..
He met with Secretary James of the
Comm ercial club and others He said
that Prosser is working toward a rep
resentation of some kind, and will
probably send a float with alfalfa as
the chief feature. Mr.. Watson intim-
ated that his section of the valley is
ready to cooperate with the rest of the
valley to the end that good represen-
lotion be made. Prosser does not in
tend to send its band, but Mr.. Watson
thought that his people would share
the expense of sending the boys band
from this place.
Furman Has an Idea
c. H. Furman, of Zillah, is still ac-
tive in that part of the valley and has
worked out an idea for a float which
has made a general hit. 1t embodies a
cleaning apparatus for fruit and al
most everything else.
The local committee is still making
the rounds and signing up people who
will go to the congress from this city.
remnants have ben ordered and COM
mittee is getting a line on all the dust
ers available to be worn in the parade.

FINDS FORTUNE
IN HANDBAG
HELD $4,000 IN JtWtlS
Gets Vacation. 500 in Cash, Two
Suits of Clothing and New
Position for Life.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Two weeks
vacation on full pay.
Reward of 500 in cash.
Two suits of clothes. including un-
derwear and all accessories.
Offer of life position at 500 a
month.
These four things came yesterday
to William Robelin, brakeman on the
Long Island railroad. because his
honesty was put to the test through
an accident, and his character stood
the test, says the American.
Some days ago Robelin wandered
through a train whcih had halted at
Hammels He noticed a small hand
bag on seat. All the passengers had
departed, and the brakeman, as in
duty bound, took the bag. He thrust
it in his pocket and paid little attcn-
ton to it until he returned to Long
| Island City. Then he opened the lit
tie receptacle.
Robelin gasped. Diamonds gilt
tered before his cyes-$3O. 000 worth
of them, 1t was discovered later.
There was check for $50 and $40
in bills besides the gems, but no cards
or papers calculated to identify the
owner.
Good Luck Comes Fast.
Instead of quietly taking the gems
Robelin turned the mover to his Su-
perior officers at the station. They
advertised The result was that rep
resentatives of Mrs. A. Schwab. Man
haitian, who had been on her way to
visit her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Kut-
ser of Hammels, appeared and said
| that during Mrs. Schwabs journey to
| Hammels she had lost the bag and
contents. Mrs. Schwab, who is 10
years old furnished a complete de-
scription of the property and her rep
resentativcs got 1t.
Later these representatives found
| that Robclin was the man who had
found the bag. Through authority
of Mrs Schwab. they gave him the
| $40 and the $50 check. Then they
took hi INTO high-class New York
tailor and ordered two suits of
clothes, with the accessories. Fur
thermore, they arranged for the two
weeks vacation for the brakeman.
BY this time Robelin was dazcd over
his good luck.

Mr.. Sparks has never pretended to
