The only executive department of the
government that remains unchanged
through the passing of the reins OF
government. from Roosevelt to Taft, is
the departmtnt of agriculture
Secretary Wilson, who now holds the
record for having served in more cabi-
nets than any other man in the history
of the country, is still at his old desk
and has announced thar he has nc
changes to make in the personnel OF
his department.
He has received letters of congratu-
lation from all parts of the country
from his admirers who all say that his
work has been of lasting benefit to the
country.
1t is likely that Secretary Wilson
will serve at least a year in the Taft
cabinet, and possibly during the en-
tire administration.

LEASE ON RESERVATION
LAND DECIDED TO BE VALID
St. Dennis Charged That Harris Oh.
tanned Agreement After Keeping
Him Drunk.

Validity of a ten-year lease made in
Walla Walla upon $40 acres of UNA
tilla Indian reservation land by Desire
ST. Dennis to Reinhold Harris, was de-
cided in the affirmative last Tuesday
by Judge Bean in the circuit court at
Pendleton In giving his decision
however, Judge Bean refrained from
passing opinion as to st. Dennis right
to make the lease in question.
The case was brought into court by
ST. Dennis who charged that Harris
obtained the lease from him after
for two weeks.
Title to the land in controversy was
with the government, held in trust, and
ST. Dennis had no right to execute
the lease in any event. Throughout
the trial which lasted three days, ST
Dennis refused to introduce evidence as
plaintiff, for the reason that he knew
the lease would not be effective unless
made through the secretary of the in
terror and the Indian agent.
Harris interest in the lease was sold
to Attorney ID. w. Bailey, who be-
came defendant in the trial testing
the validity Of the lease The lease is
said to be of no value through the
fact that title to the land was vested
in the government and was being held
in trust for St Dennis wife and chill
dren, thus giving ST. Dennis no actual
interest in the property. 1t is said that
ST. Dennis had bat 80 acres OF land
which he could Lave legally leased.
