A Boon to Utah.

In addition to the aid to Utah by the
retention Of the Dingley tariffs, protecting
the principal industries OF the state, the
new tariff bill Is a boon to the zinc mint
ing industry of the state This industry
is growing rapidly in Utah and its growth
will take rapid strides now that federal
protection is provided for it, The bill
places "a duty of I cent a pound on zine
ore This makes il possible for the Amer
lean zinc miners to pay the present high
salaries to employees and still compete
with the cheap labor of other countries.
The senator said that the new tariff
bill was a material reduction in the tariff
schedules. Though in some instances the
duty was increased, there was a substan-
tiai reduction I'm the duty on practically
all Of the necessities of life and the ma
terial effect of the bill was a decided re-
dUCtiOu.
Under the tariff plank fin the Repub-
hcan national platform the party was
bound to revise the tariff. but not to re-
wise it downward. 1t was to revise il
with a view to equaHzing the cost of pro-
emit tariff bill the senator said that the
party had admirably lived up TO its pre-
election pledges. In many cases the tar

most every case the tariff on necessities
was reduced. He said that the tariff bill
was not perfect It would be impossible
to frame a perfect tariff bill for a coun-
try as large as the United States but
the present bill. viewing It from every
standpoint, is almost ideal.

In making this statement Senator

that for the first time in the history
Of the state its people were judged

other people Of the nation.
The stories disseminated concern

ceased to have any weight, and they
are being forgotten.

HARTMAN RAISES
LABORERs' WAGES
OFFERS BONUS TO KEEP MEN
FROM RIVAL RAILROADS
Amounts 10 an Advance of Wages of
Fifteen Cents n Day for Track La
bOrers-Thought to BE Caused by
Great Demand for Laborers In the
Dcschutcs Fight.

That the demand for railroad en-
ployes created by the construction
work on the rival lines being built
up the Deschutes is being felt by the
o. r. & N. is evidenced by the fact
that it was announced this morning
that the company is offering a bonus
to the employees who remain in the
service of the company up to Novem-
ber /. The bonus applies only TO
those employees in the track depart
ment, affecting all section and ex-
ira gang crews.
The bonus consists of a cent and a
half for each working hour for each
man between now and November /.
on condition that the man remains in
the employ of the company until that
date. This equals an advance in
wages of Is cents per day.
1t is thought that the company is
taking this means of granting the
men an increase in wages without
seeming to have yielded to the de-
mand. At present the schedule of
wages paid is as follows:
Japs, $1.40; Greeks, Hungarians and
Italians, 81 so, white men $3.50.

INDIAN CHIEF NO SHIRT WILL TAKE
REDSKIN TROUBLES TO WASHINGTON

Chief No-Shirt, the well-known
leader of the Walla Walla tribe of
Indians, does not believe the govern
ment has ordered the public highways
opened across the reservation and he
is going back to Washington to see
about the matter. Neither does the
redskin with the garmetless name be-
lieve that all of the Indians were paid
who should have been paid at the
time the last apportionment of Indian
money was made,
Holding this belief, No-shirt called
a council of his braves last Thursday,
according to Harry Shueships, the
young interpreter who returned re-
Gently to his home on the reservation
from Chemawa, where ne has been
attending the Indian school. At this
council No-shirt and the other head
men of his tribe, as well as those of
the Cayuses, discussed the proposition
and decided that II was for the best
interests of the Indians that No-shirt

INDIAN SHOT BY MARSHAL
WALKS TO HIS HOME TO-DAY
(Sneclal Corresnondence.

Adams, Ore. Aug. 10.-Jim White,
the Indian, who was shot twice yes
terday morning by Marshal owen, not
only absolutely refused to die but re-
fused to stay in bed. He arose this
morning from the couch that had been
provided for him and walked to his
home on the reservation. a distance
of several miles The remarkableness
of this feat can be understood when It
is remembered that the Indian has
bullet hole through the flesh part OF
one leg and has a bullet under his
shoulder blade. which the physician
has been unable to locate.
The missile from the marshars gun
entered the Indians back and running
upward made its way under the
shoulder blade in the direction of the
neck. Though the physician who
had been called, probed for it. the
loaded ball could not be found and
will probably be carried by the Indian
as long as he lives.

SAYS BLONDS FAIL
IN BATTLE FOR LIFE

New York, Aug. 10.-A startling
note of warning to blue-eyed, ligh,
complexioned New Workers is uttered
by DR.. Charles f. Woodruff surgeon
and Major in the United States army,
who has just completed private tour
of the prisons and asylums Of the city
and state. The jails and other insti-
tutions, he says, are full of blonds
who, unable to stand the struggle for
existence in a climate to which they
are untitled, have fallen into poverty,
disease and crime.
What is true in New York, he says.
is true of the country as a whole, ana
unless the blonde American finds or
adopts some better means of survival
than he has at present he will be
wiped out as a type in favor of the
brunette.

NEW OFFICIALS
FOR D. R. & n.
WALSH RESIGNS AS SUPT.
OF WASHINGTON DIVISION
Position Will be Filled by William
Connolly, Former Assistant Super
intendent of the Oregon Division
Rumored That More Changes are
TO Come.

| Another shakeup in o. R. & \. cir
cles has just been announced. The
resignation of Thomas Walsh as sup
erintendent of the Washington division
| is responsible for a number of other
changes.
The cause of Walsh's resignation
is not known. Neither are his plans
for the future. His position, how
ever, is to be filled by William Con-
molly, formerly assistant superintend-
ent of the Oregon division.
j. d. Matheson, trainmaster at La
Grande, has been promoted to the
position of assistant superintendent
of the oregon division, while A.
Buckley, formerly chief dispatcher az,
La Grande, has been made trainmas-
ter and j. F. Corbett, formerly chief
dispatcher of the Washington divisi-
on, has been transferred to the same
position for the oregon division with
headquarters at La Grande, This
transfer is equal to a promotion as
any position on the main line is con-
sidered better than a corresponding
position on any branch.
1t is rumored in railroad circles that
these changes are but fore runners
of a number of others which are
scheduled to take place in the immedi-
ate future. 1t is possible however
that the expected changes will not
materialiZe.
Another change has also been made
in the official staff of the oregon &
Washington, the new road which
Hartman is building from Portland
u the Sound. j. II. Lord, formerly
stenographer for d. w. Campbell,
when that official was division super,
intendent of the Oregon division or

sistant superintendent of the o. & w
Campbell is now assistant general
manager of the new road.

Coeur d'Alene, Aug. 10.-In spite
of the fact that the drawing today
consists of the substitute list of names
used in case those drawn yesterday
fail to qualify, the drawing is nearly
as enthusiastic as yesterday.
Judge Whitten said hundreds of
applicants were disappointed owing TO
the fact that considerable more names
are drawn than claims. All persons
below 1900 are entitled to make en-
try at Coeur d'Alene. Those above
are placed on a reserve list to make
entry by default, the opportunity per-
mitting.
Few easterners were lucky. Most
OF the numbers were drawn by Wash
ington, oregon and Idaho people. The
close of the drawing is expected this
afternoon. Three thousand were taken
in the box.
Thursday the Flathead drawing be-
gins, consisting of twenty-eight hum
dred claims, and six thousand will be
drawn. AT the Spokane drawing on
Monday there are 41,341 claims anu
$50 to be drawn. There is one chance

PLAY CRUEL JOKE
ON PALOUSE HARVESTER

Colfax, Wash. Aug. 10.-A practical
! joke which was started on a ranch
near Lee Siding, IL miles west of Col
fax, Friday, cost a young harvest
hand a 12-mile walk to Colfax, car
fare to Spokane and disappointment
at Spokane. The young harvester
had in confidence told a friend that
his sweethearts name was Clara, and
that with her father she was soon
expected to arrive in the Palouse
country looking for land. His friends
did the rest, as the next mail brought
a postal which read: Am at Colfax
with father en- route to Spokane. Come
a. once. Clara" The harvest job
was cancelled, pay received and the
march to Colfax was soon over. At
each real estate firm in Colfax a de-
soription of the old man and his
daughter was given. The last firm
visited was Laure & Co., and to them
the young man told of his disappoint-
ment and hurried to catch the In
land Electric train for Spokane.
