Vaton on Yukon Island.
Seattle-A special dispatch from
Fairbanks, Alaska, says. that one of
the deckhands of the steamer Monarch
has an acute appreciation of what it
means to be stranded on desert isle.

down the Tanana river, some one mo-
ticed that a flag was being waved
from little island in the river. Cap
tain Blair stopped his boat and sent
back to investigate. There he found
an unfortunate man who had been
wrecked on the island, lost all of his
outfit and was reduced to the necessity
of eating grass.
AS the man had been three days
without food, he was weak, but he ac-
cepted job as deckhand on the Mon
arch, where good meals revived him.

Farmers Raise Perfect Apples.

Redmond-J. A. Wright is display.
ing lot of apples that he raised or
his farm one and half miles west OF
town. The fruit is of the Yellow
Transparent variety, large, well
shaped, glossy and without blemish.
The apples possess a peculiarly deli
cious taste, due, it is claimed, to the
clear dry atmosphere in which they
were grown. Joseph H. Jackson,
whose farm is south of Redmond three
miles, has samples of apples that were
grown on his place and are Of the same
fine quality as those raised by Mr..
Wright. Their uniform size is frac-
tion more than 13 inches in circumfer-
ence. From the Teetherow place on
the Deschutes river, about six miles

historic Monsters of the Sea.
San Andreas, Cal.-Word was
brought here from Railroad Flat that
in the tunnel of the Bouvoir mine, near
the Calaveras river, Is miles East of
Mokelumne Hill, two immense petri-
fed fish were found few days ago,
one 81 feet long and the other Is.
The longest one was lengthwise Of
the tunnel and the miners had blasted
into it some distance before they de-
termined what it was. Then it was
too late to preserve it, large portions
having been blown to pieces. The 9th
er one was crosswise and the tunnel
was put through it.
The fish were imbedded in cement
gravel, and had no doubt been there
many centuries, since gravel filled
what must have been in the remote
past an immense inland sea.

ment From Interior Department
on Result of Influence.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 17.-The de-
partment of the interior Wednesday
gave out an important and comprehen-
slve statement regarding the influence
of government efforts in dealing with
the oil situation in Oklahoma. The
department says:
Following the activities of the de-
partment of the interior and the de-
partment of justice in investigating
the possible existence of combine of
pipe line owners in Oklahoma. the
market price of oil has gone up to AZ
cents a barrel in that state, the high
est price it has reached for a long
time. The collection of the royalty on
Indian oil land leases under the con-
troll of the department of the interior
will be on the Accent basis until fur
ther movement of the market.
"A year ago last summer the price
went down to 35 cents. At that time
only three pipe lines were operating.
Since then, under the encouragement
of the department, a fourth pipe line
has been completed to the Gulf.
The royalty payments upon most
of the leases of Indian lands are at
the rate of one-eighth of the market
price.
The oil situation in Oklahoma has
heen sonnambat diao,,I+ ~ 11 .4,
In May, 1908, congress. granted citizen
ship to approximately seven-tenths of
the total population of the Five Civil
lied Tribes. These Indians thus granted
citizenship are in full control of their
own oil lands, and may make such
leases as they choose Immediately
adjoining their lands lie those of the
restricted Indians whose leases are un-
der the control and regulation of the in
terror department Thus, the depart
ment can control only the lands of 80
per cent of the Indians, and is not in a
position to suspend operations in order
to secure an advance In prices. A sus-
pension simply would mean that the
wells on the lands of the unrestricted
Indians would continue to operate,
draining not only the oil from those
across, but also from the land Of the
restricted Indians adjoining. The de-
partment of the interior regards the
advance in price to AZ cents as decid-
edly encouraging and of large benefit
to the restricted Indians, as well as to
the general prosperity of the country"

City Council Holds long Session And
DispOses of Great Lot of Routine
6usiness-No Appointments.

Many of the city employees are wear
ing long faces today as a result of the
action of the city council at its meet
ing last night, in abolishing the prac.
tieing of paying salaries twice a
month. Under the provisions Of
resolution adopted last night all bills
against the city must be allowed. if at
all, at the first regular meeting In each
month
The session of the council last night
was one of the busiest of the last few
months. So much routine business
had accumulated that a general clean
ing up was thought advisable
An ordinance was adopted approv-
ing the contract with R. V. McSpad-
den for the construction of a sanitary
sewer in blocks IS, SO and /, all in the
south part of town,
By ordinance the council levied a
special tax against property on Gun
ter street to pay for the cost of grad
ing, curbing and guttering that thor
oughfare. Another special tax levied
last night was to pay for the extern
sion Of sidewalks across the parking
on several corner lots in the city. The
lots thus affected are included in the
notice to be found elsewhere in this
paper
The matter of assessing the Frisco
railway company for the cost of paw
ing Scraper street across the right-of-
way was again taken up. An ordin-
ance correcting the description of the
property was adopted and the matter
settled
Two appointments were. made by
Mayor Rider, but neither was approx
ed by the council. The action of the
council was unexplained When the
name of b. G. Chandler was presented
for the position on the police. force.
created at the last meeting of the coun-
ell, the members voted against the
confirmation, without discussion. The
cause of this action lis said to have
been the low condition of the police
fund. The appointment of George
Kerr to the position of engineer at the
city water plant was also turned down
by the council.
