HOPI TROUBLE ONERDRAWN
DECLARES INDIAN OFFICIAL

Mr.. Robinson says that the trouble
at the Hopi pueblos at the time of
the last factionaI dispute, was. like
the massacre at Taos. much over
drawn in the newspapers. THE Hopi
are contented and busy nowadays he
said. "and are giving no trouble. A.
to their reported hostility to educa-
ton, they have more children in the
big day schools out there than any
other tribe in the. jurisdiction of the
service outside of the indian terri
tory. 1t is unfortunate that such
troubles as that at Oraibi. and the
action of the Taos Indians in pulling
staples out Of fence posts. should be
painted in such lurid hues by the
newspapers.
Now, for instance. if the Navajos
on the reservation did half as many
things they oughtn't 10. as do the
people OF Albuquerque. they would b.

Through Trains to Portland Cut

Parties Seeking WalIa WaIIa Go by
Way of Pasco-- Bridge Spanning
AlkaIi Creek, Near Hay, Is Swept
Away -Washouts on N. p.

Washouts have played havoc to con-
nections between Portland and Walla
Walla and points this side of Snake river
over the 0. R. & n. railway. Tuesday
the train from Spokane bound for Walla
Walta got as far az La Crosse, then re-
turned to Spokane. The same train i'm
mediately came back, taking the run of
one OF the trains marooned on the other
side of Snake river, but went no farther
than WinOna, returning to Spokane.
Three through trains are on the other
side Of Snake river, unable to make
through connections. Besides several
washOuts the bridge across Alkali creek,
near Hay, has gone out, which must be
replaced before connections can be made.
Several parties wishing to go to Walla
Walla and other points in that part OF
the Inland Empire turned back or went
over the Northern Pacific, via Pasco.
The Northern Pacific has also been a
sufferer from washouts. Through con-
nections to the points named may remain
uncertain for several days, although the
Q. 4. & \. is making every effort to re-
pair the damage.
A change in the o. R. & N. time
schedule went into effect last Sunday,
but cannot be observed to any great
extent until repairs are made and con-
nections established. By the new sched-
ule the time OF the morning train to
Spokane is changed from 7:10 to 9:1O,
and the train from Pendleton that
formerly passed through at 7:40 p. m. is
now scheduled for 2:35 p. IN. The time
Of the down train to Pendleton remains
the same, 1910 a. 10. The Portland
train, formerly leaving at 6:35 p. m

IN BEHALF OF WATERWAYS.
Great Work of the Rivers and Har-
bors Congress.

The vast work of the Rivers and Har-
bors Congress in enlisting public interest
and in educating the public mind was
again emphasized last month by the
mammoth meeting of that body at
Washington, D. G. The great aim OF
this publicity campaign is to arouse
public sentiment in favor of appropria-
tiOns by congress in behalf of waterways.
With US OF the state of Washington this
great movement calls for improvement
Of the Columbia and Snake rivers in the
eastern part of the state and of certain
harbors and inlets upon Puget Sound
aud the coast, and the lower Columbia
and other rivers in the western part.
The tremendous Importance OF the
improvement of our waterways may be
realized from the fact that in the Lake
aud Ohio river districts the cost of
transporting freight by water il only
about One-seventb of that by rail. Even
if it we're a third or half in our state it
would represent the saving OF millions.
Professor W. D. Lyman Of Walla
Walla, who is making "a campaign in
behalf of the congress, will visit Colfax
next Friday, January 2S, to confer with
our citizens on the important subject.

JOHN N. Pl1KRELL Is GAINED
Beautiful Gold Headed Cane From
Citizens OF Maiden.

To be presented with an ebony gold
headed cane, the value evidently ap-
preaching the three-fgure mark, is
something that falls to the lot OF few,
but this was the good fortune OF our
fellow townsman, John \. Pickrell, at
the first annual banquet given by the
Maiden Commercial Club on last Friday
night, 1t happened this way X: Mr..
Pickrel was employed TO assist in the
work OF incorporation desired by ma
iority OF the citizens, which, as most
readers OF The Gazette know, was vigor-
ously opposed, there being contest be
fore the board of county commissioners
and many citizens coming from Maiden
to the county seat to testify in the case,
the friends OF incorporation winning out.
SO it was desired on this occasion to
present Mr.. Pickrell with gold-headed
cane. 1t is a work OF art. The cane
proper is polished ebony, as black as any
ebony can be. 1t has a crooked handle,
on top OF which are the letters, 81. n.
Pickrell," and at the end, presented by
the citizens OF Maiden, 1910" 1t is
needless to state that Mr.. Pickrell is as
proud OF the beautiful gift as boy ia
with his first pair of red top boots.
We are told that this first banquet
given by the Commercial Club OF Maiden
was attended by fully 200 men and
women, and was an event greatly enjoy
ed and long to be remembered. County
Commissioners Ruply and Ellis were
among the invited guests. Music was
furnished by the Maiden string band.
Speeches were made by several adopts in
the art, and those present at the first
banquet will certainly look forward with
keen relish to the second annual event.
