SOUND HOGS PLUMs
Little Left to Eastern Washington
After King and Pierce Get
Through.

North Yakima, Dec. 16.-That the
west siders will get the best of il
in county reapportionment at the
coming session of the legislature is
the belief OF Leo Meigs, speaker of
the last House. He has watched the
work of King and Pierce county rep
resentatives. has it figured that with
Howard Taylor, speaker of the
the appropriations committee. and
Paulhamus, president of the Senate,
there are few plums left for east
siders. Meigs believes the east sid
ers ought to get together if they
want any of the good things from
the appropriations committee for
their part of the state.
He also calls attention to Walla
Walla county, with 10000 popula-
ton less than Yakima county has
three representative and a senator,
where Yakima gets along with two
representatives and half a senator,
sharing the latter officer with Ben
ton county.

TAHNEY WILL GET

Washington, Dec. ia story is
being circulated in unusually well
informed political circles here today
to the effect that Representative
Tawney, chairman of the committee
on appropriations, will succeed Bal
lnger as secretary of the interior
shortly after his retirement from
congress on March 4.
1t is understood that Speaker Can
non and a number of the old guard
of the G. @. P. are quietly working
10 this end.
Representative Tawney refuses to
either confirm or deny the report,
while Taft has declared to callers re-
Gently that he desired TO do some
thing handsome for Tawney.
1t is said that Ballinger is prepar-
ing to, slip quietly back into private
life and the practice of law. since the

Columbia's county's decrease in pop
ulatiOn in the last decade.
The census figures show that Co
lumbia county has decreased from
7.12S to 7,047 in ten years, and the
rapid increase of land values is held
responsible for the numerical decline.
Far-sighted capitalists have grabbed
every acre offered for sale and now
there are a score of land barons who
hold from 1000 to 1000 acres of
farm land, whereas at one time the
county was cut up into homestead
tracts Since the census of 1900
land has increased from $50 to 500
an acre on an average and the end
is not vet.
Wealthy pioneers moving to town.
and shiftless homesteaders moving
away or losing their farms on mort
cages, contribute to the decrease in
this county
Dayton has grown from 2,216 to
more than 5000. so that the loss
of farmers is over 500 in ten years.

Pullman Workers Declare
High Cost Of Living Re
duces Their Income.

Chicago, Dec. 16-Pullman port
ers have sent in a petition to the
general manager of the Pullman
company asking for an increase i'll
wages.
The petition says: The growing
tendency of the travelling public
either to discontinue all tips or TO
reduce to onc-half the gratuitie5
with which they formerly rewarded
Pullman porters who merited such
consideration, and the high cost of
living generally have forced us TO
come through you to the Pullman
company. begging for some relief.
A porter on one of the New York
Chicago flyers, relating some of the
hardships encountered, told an Incl
dent which happened a couple Of
weeks ago on his train.
THE professor of an agricultural
department in university said the
porter, brought % of his students
to see the International Stock show
in Chicago. He told the students it
was against the law of the state to

The animal is a pet bear. owned /

The animal is pet bear, owned
by DR.. S. T. Miller, since captured
as cub, three years ago. Together
with a coyote bruin has been chain
ed in the front yapl. The doctor
has the nearest approach to a ZOO
logical garden Of anybody in Wenat-
chez.
Last evening the bear broke his
chain and proceeded to do some for
aging. wandering from one back yard
to another. The women of the neigh
borhood were getting excited. Final
ly he went into the cellar of NJ O.
Merrill. Mrs. Merrill 'sicked' her
dog onto him, but the dog came out
faster than he went in and could not
be persuaded to make a second at
tempt Meanwhile bruin was having
a feast.
Hello, Nose, Come out here and
catch bear that is loose in the back
yard" was the telephone summons
which rather surprised Mr.. Merrill
at his wall paper store last evening.
After hearing more details of the
affair, he went after the deputy sher-
if. They were about to start with
weapons when further progress was
reported by the brave wife.
She had Mr.. Bear nicely coralled
in the woodshed and the door lock
ed. This little trick was turned by

Throwing it inside, the hear rushed
in and Mrs Merrill slammed AMI

DR. Miller was out of the city and
did not return until late last night.
This morning he came over and took
his grim pet back TO the rock where
he has been chained.
Had the animal not been captured,
he would soon have been shot. Both
Mrs. Miller and her son were unwill
ing to approach him. They said he
had shown signs of ugliness at times
and they preferred to have him

Ladies, how many of you are brave

created pandemonium in the entire

Rev. o. w. Mintzer left today for
a weeks trip at Twisp.

dians wished to make him their
chief. but he refused. They had
planned to kill the whites along
Rogue River for many miles and dis
closed their scheme to him He went
mp the river on one side, his wife on
the other at night warning the set
telers so the terrible massacre was
averted. He never would live among
the Indians and his family were at
tached to the white people. One Of
his daughters, Indian Mary, as she
Is called, still lives in Grants Pass,
having always refused to live on the
reservation. Joe wanted to educate
Mary, but learning was not to her
taste. She and her youngest daugh-
ter, Lilly, belong to the Salvation
Army, and the Army bonnet well
becomes the dark little face One
night several years ago the Methodist
Sunday school observed Children's
day, and as a special attraction Lilly,
then four or five years old, sang a
solo. She did well, but not knowing
when to stop sang it over two or
three times. It caused considerable
merrlment, but every one was well
pleased with her part OF the enter
tainment.
Some years ago poor old Joe and
one Of his sons-in-law had fight
and both were killed.
The Jones family, who resided on
the Tufts place east Of town, were
killed by the Indians October 8,
1855, that beginning the war, which
resulted in the redskins being ban
lshed to the reservation in 1856.
Many are the stories told Of the
way Grants Pass received its name,
so wishing to know the truth I asked
Mrs. J. p Tufts, who has lived here
since 1853, to tell me about It. She
said that being so far from a post
office the settlers petitioned the
government to establish one for
their convenience, The word came
back from Washington, Send a
name for your postoffice. 1t was
Just in the midst of Grants signal
victories in the Civil war, and those
most interested were staunch Union
men, great admirers of both Lincoln
and Grant. The stage road to Rose
burg led through a natural pass in
the mountains which was called "The
Pass" so the name Grants Pass was
agreed upon, sent in and accepted
by the government. Her father, Mr..
Croxton, was appointed the first
postmaster.

tered the door, closing 1t behind
them, put their trophies on the man
tel piece, taking them out through
the top Of the chimney onto their
pack animals and got away without
being discovered Even the kettle
Of beans was gone. And what is a
supper for tired miner without his
beans?
Regular Alaskan prices prevailed
in those days. People say now when
prices are high that things taste
strongly Of silver, but in those days
they surely tasted OF gold. Flour
was $50 a sack, and this man one
day bought two pounds to feed his
horse. Not a kingly feast for a
horse but costly enough for the man!
Potatoes cost $24 per hundred,
Golden c sugar "a cents a pound,
salt 50 per hundred, nails 25 cents
pound and other things according
ly. The story is told OF man who
bought a needle and the merchant
charged him one dollar. The pur-
chaser objected somewhat to the
price, but the dealer informed him
It was not the cost Of the needle but
the freight.
Reading matter was hailed with
delight and passed from one to an
other for perusal A man used to
pass through here with magazines
and San Francisco papers in his
saddle bags for sale, one of which
readily brought fifty cents.
One man who came here in 1851
often told his wife that this valley
was the most beautiful sight he had
ever seen. It was then the "forest
primeval," and lay in all its virgin
beauty Not a house except one at
a ferry two or three miles above the
present site OF Grants Pass No
wagon roads had been built, and in
stead of the cars, automobile or COM
Portable buggy, the only means Of
travel was on foot or horseback. 1t
was necessary to go either to Jack
sonville or Kerbyyille for supplies,
so bargain counters and clearance
sales came at a much later date.
For many years there was no post
office between Jacksonville and Le-
land.
One OF the most interesting char
acters of that early day was UmpQua
Joe, always the white mans friend,
Joe went to Southern California with
John C. Fremont, whom he greatly
admired. When he returned about
the time hostilities began, the In
