DANGER Turks IN

Too Many Alluring Chances to
to Make Fortune May
Wreck a Mans Career.

A very ancient story seys: "a farm.
er had a drove Ct hogs which lie as
sembled for cir meals by knock
ing on a fence with sticks or stones.
One day the waiting herd detected the
familicr sound, and started off pen-
nell in tie direction whence it came.
Before they reached tie place, howev-
er, TO their vast astouishment they
also heard 1t from the other side
and turned and ran pell-mell toward
that. Ard so they IAN, first in one
direction and then in another, util,
when the farmer himsef came down
and raped upon the fence, they were
so completely tuckered out by chas-
ing the Elusive signals Of Ted+headed
woodpeckers drilling trees for WORMS
that they rad no strength to go and
get their food"
In this great American republic op-
portunities are paracticclly in'exhausti

the gravest peril that We have to

The EXPECTED
HAS HAPPENED.
Rival Candidates for Con-

Had Realized that Strained Rela-
tions Would Make a Meet
ing Dangerous.

It has been an open secret, says
the Henderson Journal that C. c.
Owens and A. o. Stanley sqe not as
warm friends as they were at one
time. Relations have been strained
ever since Mr.. Owens began to cast
longing eyes at the shoes worn by
Congressman Stanley. The strained
relations bEoke wide open with the
now famous letters that passed be-
tween Mr.. Givens and Mt. Stanley
In fact, feeling has become 50 bitter
that mutual friends Of both parties
knew 1t was absolutely dangeqC Gus to
have them meet.
Mr.. Stanley was in the city Tues
dey and Wednesday, and it was free
ly predicted that if the two candi-
do;es met, something would happen.
Friends of Mr.. Stanley plead with
him not 10 go On the streets, espe-
cially in the vicinity Of the court
house, but lie was determined to
venture cut, declaring thai he mad 2
right to walk the streets of Hender-
son. Friends Of Mr.. Owens beg6e
him to have business In Maaisonv.Ne
for few days, or,at lecst,to confine
himself TO the editorial cop ca the
second floor. But he WIS equally in
s,stent On his right to walk the
streets Of Henderson regardless Of
the presence of Congressman Stan

First street Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Givens was just staining for

Friends in the courthouse sew

that the meeting was inevitable, but
they We're poweriess to prevent it.
They met just in f-oct Of Levy

between the two rivals.

railroad purchased recently in Japan

INDIANS CONTEST
TO Be IN EARNEST
Old Existing Dispute Between Tribes
of the Coast to be Settled by
Aquatic Sports at the
A. Y. p. Exposition.

SEATTLE, July 13-An ola exist
ing dispute for superiority will be set
tied in the next two weeks at the
Alaska Exposition when the Quin-
ault Indians undd, Tie leadership of
the great Chief Taholah meet on the
waters of Lake Union, their ancient
enemies the King George men from
Vancouver Island.
The controversy extends back for
many years, and the old fighting joys
have been superseded by wordy con-
tests concerning the prowess OF indi
vidual tribal members. To the coast
Indian the highest glory is found in
things aquatic; the strongest paddle
man. the most daring whale or seal
hunter; and the most skillful log roll
Ter and chunk equilibrist is the most
envied man of the tribe.
1t will of course be on the water
that the question of supremacy is de-
cided. In his challenge to the King
George men, Taholah has not been
mealy- mouthed or modest in his as
sertions His men have been killing
whales, capturing the wary sea otter
and speaking seals, while the effemin-
ate lads of Vancouver Island have
been planting potatoes, digging clans
and winning bOnnets.
His taunts struck a tender spot in
the armor of the enemy and the
answer to the challenge breathed dire
disaster and loss of coin and blank
cts to the hated men of Quinault.
Indians, from Oregon to the farthest
part of the Alaskan coast, have seer
the signal smoke and heard the WORD
| Of the coming battle, and they have
gathered here, some in all theac wal
paint and fighting array. Each tribe
has sent its best men.
