YAKIMA INDIANS
CREDIT is GOOD

North Yakima Wash.-Perhaps the
most enthusiastic visitors from this
section to the Seattle exposition are
Yakima Indians from the reservation
who are making the trip in surpris-
ingly large numbers. Especially are
they lured by the Pay Streak, and
once there they stay with it until they
are broke" Superintendent E. ].
Haze of the Yakima county building,
is acting as father" to the native
Yakimans these days. Sooner or la
ter they show up at the county build
ing with a tale of temporary embar-
rassment and intimate that a loan
would be acceptable. If Mr. Haze
doesn't recognize thm, he calls in Mrs.
Gilman, the matron, a Yakima pio-
neer, and if they pass muster with
her they get the money. The other
day man and his wife, both Indians,
asked for $25 to get home, and Mrs
Gilman recognized them as "home
folks" and thought it was safe"
"Safe!" laughed a Wapato man to
whom Superintendent Haze told the
incident and the names. 81 should
say so. Those Indians hold my note
for five thousand dollars"

The chicken thief is abroad in the

no arrests have been made it is said
the officers have some persons under

Gently Mrs. Clyde Finch detected a
couple of thieves in the act of help
ing themselves. She fired a small pis-
tol in their direction to frighten them
and was successful in this undertaking
for they both made their getaway in
record breaking time, one going over
the front fence and one over the
back. This had evidently been their
second visit that night, however. for
the next morning it was discovered
that eight fine frys were missing. She
says that next time she will shoot to

Other instances have been reported
in which hen roosts have been visited

WARNER CASE WILL
LAST. ANOTHER WEEK

AT least one more week must
elapse before the Warner-Y Young will
contest hearing can be brought to a
close in the county court. Then there
is no assurance that the decision will
be rendered Immediately, but on the
contrary there is every indication
that Judge Gilliland will take several
days to consider and weigh the testi-
mony which has been taken before
him.
The cross-examination of Mrs. War
ner was completed yesterday after
noon and her side of the case was
thereby ended. The attorneys for the
contesting heirs were given until
Thursday to prepare their sur-rebut-
tai testimony. The introduction of
this will require about three days,
thus consuming the balance of next
week. In the meantime some testi-
mony will probably be taken at Walla
Walla, before Court Reporter Beck
with, as referee.

CHEESE MAKING MONKS
IN QUAINT SETTLEMENT
Okla Trappists Are Farmers as
Well as Priests of Church

Scattered throughout Canada are
many curious religious communes,
especially in the province Of Quebec,
but Frank Weigh writes in the Busy
Mans magazine that there are none
more curious orr interesting than the
settlements of the Trappist monks.
This brotherhood has three settlements
in the dominion, one In Nova Scotia.
at Tracadie; one in the wilds of north
ern Quebec, near the Lake st. John
district. and third on the banks of the
ottawa river, not far from Montreal
One of the most interesting of the
monasteries is that near the village OF
Okla on the Ottawa river.
The Trappist is d farmer as well as
a priest, and the Okla farm OF 500 acres
is one of the best titled in that part
of Canada. All kinds of grain are
grown. an excellent vegetable garden
is maintained and a large orchard and
vineyard add picturesqueness to the
rural scene.
But the Trappist is a stock grower
as well as an agriculturist There are
few finer thoroughbred stock than the
Percheron stations and huge bulls
there kept. The order owns at Okla
several hundred COWS 900 sheep and
80 horses. Adjoining the barn is the
dairy where fancy cheese is pro
duced that has high reputation in the
Montreal market, as have the claret
and wines produced from the vineyards.

A unique roadside fountain for
horses and cattle is the inverted church
bell. set in masonry, which is located
on the highway that leads from North
boro to Westboro and near the center
village of the former town, relates the
Botson Globe.
The bell was originally placed in the
towner of the First Baptist church in
the year 1860, and on the occasion of
some notable union victory during the
civil war. possibly by the surrender of
Lee in April. 1865 the vigorous patri-
otic ringing by the church sexton
cracked the metal and this public crier
for religious services on the Lords
day ceased to be tuneful in its weakly
surnmoning to the house or worship.

DALAI LAMA'S BROTHER
ENVIOUS OF HONORS
Planned to Initiate Relative by
Trip to Peking

When the Dalai lama visited Peking
last year the Chinese imperial govern
ment spared neither expense nor
trouble for his reception in order to
secure his affection and loyalty to
China, says the Westminster Gazette.
He was received in court with great
consideration, preparations on a lux
urious scale were made wherever he
went and a venerable title was con-
ferred on him by imperial edict. After
his return to Lhasa his brother pontiff,
the Panshen lama, felt envious of the
rewards that the Dalai lama had re-
ceived. and 1t was reported that he, the
Panshen lama, intended to follow the
Dalai's example and to visit Peking.
The Chinese government dreaded hav-
ing to incur another item of great ex-
pense in providing for his travel and
visit and have prevailed upon him to
relinquish this intention.

COCK FIGHTING WAS ONCE
POPULAR WITH ROYALTY
Ancient Cockpit at Westminster
Recalls PaStime

The royal cockpit at Westminster
this does not refer to the house of COM
mons, but to the pit at Westminster
where the cock fighters used to gather
in force and enjoy their favorite amuse-
ment In the old days. The cockpit was,
says A. B. Cooper in Fry's Magazine,
exactly on the present site of the
garden of the Official residence of the
prime minister in Downing street, over
looking st. Jamess park. 1t was estab-
ilshed by Henry VIII. The cockpit or
its modern representative upon the old
site, remained intact and in use well
into the nineteenth century, as count
less contemporary records show. In
deed, so much in vogue was cock fight
ing and so greatly in royal as we'll as
public favor, that toward the end of the
seventeenth and up to the middle of the
eighteenth century it was no uncommon
thing to insert clauses in the leases of
farms 30 insure the privilege of walk
ing certain number of gamecocks
on the premises and at the cottages in
the district.
The earl of Derby, the grandfather
of the great earl, one of Queen Vic
toria's prime ministers, was, Cooper re-
calls most ardent cock fighter. He
had a cockpit, only demolished of late
years. near his town house in Church
street, Preston, and his cocks were
especially in favor for their breed and
prowess.
The following note occurs on July %,
1893: "Preston-During the races a
main of cocks was fought between the
earl of Derby and Wilson Braddyll,
Esq, for 10 guineas battle and 1900
the main. which was won by the former
eight battles ahead. His lordship also
won four ahead in the byes.' 1t was in
