POOR 10" GETS LAND DECISION
Judge WhitsOn Rules for Indians Ia
king Vast Estates From Northern
Pacific Railroad

SPOKANE, WASH, Jan. S.-By a
written opinion in the case of the
United States of America against the
Northern Pacific railway handed
down by Judge Edward Whitson to-
day, 160,975 acres Of land in the
southern part of the Yakima Indian
reservation in Cedar River valley held
bv the railroad through a land grant
of congress in 1887 reverts back to
the Yakima Iidians.
The suit was waged by the govern
ment as trustees and guardians of the
Yakima Indians to quiet title of SIS
land patents held by the railroad.
Big Sum Involved.
Nearly 100000 is involved, and
the decision is considered one of the
most important in years covering the
legality of the land grants. The land
s estimated as worth from SO to 500
per acre. If the decision of Judge
Whitson stands on appeal it will mean
the reallotment of the land to the
Indians, and the readjustment of
homestead entries made on the land
The court held the grant of congress
to the Northern Pacific did not ex-
tinguish the title of the Indians to
the land Or supersede a treaty made
with the Indians by Governor Stevens
in 1859.

THOUGH BLIND TIT NEEDS
Secretary KumIer Outlines the Con-
ditions Existing I'm the North
Yakima District

That the overdraft of the North
Yakima school district will not. on
April 1 exceed $4,000. is the opinion
of Secretary Kumler as expressed al
the school meeting last night. The
reason Of this belief Of Mr.. kumler
is that at the close of the quarter
which ends March 81 the school
district receive an income from taYes
and from te state apportiopment of
100000
AT present the bonded indebtedness
Of the district Is $242,000 and the
warrant Indebtedness is S46,223 ma
king total of $2SS,223.01. Interest
on bonds is $10,695.00 and the estI-
mated interest on general fund war
rants is $4,000 This makes total in
terest OF $13,695.
Assessed Valuation.
The assessed valuation of the dis
trst cannot exceed per cent of the
assessed valuation in its Indebtedness
This permits Of $425,267.75 which al
lows of a further Indebtedness of
$l37.044.74 before the limit Is reach
ed. The present mill rate is twelve
and three-tenths including a levy Of
$40 per year for each school child
made by the county commissioners
under the new school code.
In his report on insurance paid by
the district to date Mr.. Kumler re-
ported an aggregate of $4790 since
1900 and an estimate of 5000 prior
to that time. making an aggregate of
$500. There has been received from
insurance $4,000 which was recover
ed on the Lincoln school. The net
gain is 5000. At the present annual
cost of sS25.15 the district can afford

without being out of pocket
school Warrant Interest.

When the financial report was sub
mitted there was some discussion as
to the fact that school warrants bear
per cent interest. Director Fechter
said that he was willing to take them
at per cent but that other bankers
were not. He said that he was willing
to take the warrants OF the districts
at that and thought 1t a duty the
bankers owed to the community.
Secretary kumler and others said
they had found an opposition on the
part OF bankers to handle them at the
lower figure.
