H. M. Lichty, of the Yakima-Sun
nyside Nursery, was accompanied
through the Wenatchee valley yes
terday by A. B. Peters and w. T
Clark lin Mr.. Peters automobile
Their object was to interview prom.
inent growers, getting their ideas on
thoroughbred trees. Mr.. Lichty's
ideas on the subject were given in
recent issue of the Daily World
The growers were therefore pre-
pared to express themselves when
the gentlemen arrived at their ranch
es. Statements made by different
growers were as follows:
Tedford Bros.
There is no question about there
being different strains in the various
varieties of fruit. We have not paid
sufficient attention to the individu-
|ality of our trees. We have one
Grimes Golden tree sufficiently SUI
perior to the others to have carried
off our prizes in this variety. We

.PAWHUSKA BAR WANTS
FREEDOM Of OSAGES

Pawhuska, Okla, Feb. 5.-The en-
action of law by congress limiting
the restrictions upon alterations of
Usage Indian lands to the lifetime of
the allottees and placing the estates
of deceased allottees and minor In
dians within the jurisdiction of state
courts has been asked in a resolution
adopted here by the Bar association
of Pawhuska.
Sections l and of the measure pro-
posed by the association relate to the
matters o falienations and court juris-
diction and make it the duty of the
secretary of the interior to pay over
to the estate of any deceased Usage
Indian, the administrator of which has
been duly appointed by the proper
state court, all moneys in the hands
of the United States for the use and
benefits Of such deceased Usage In
dian and his heirs.
Section 3 provides that whenever
any Usage Indian allottee has attain
ed the age of fifty years he shall be
entitled to be paid from the segregat
ed trust fund the sum of fifty dollars
per month, payable quarterly at the
same time and in the same manner
that the regular anuity payments are
made, said sum of fifty dollars per
month to be in addition to the other
payments, and to be deducted from
the segregated trust fund of such
allottee."
"When any Usage Indian shall have
received a certificate of competency,
according to Section 4. "the secretary
of the interior shall, upon application
pay to such allottee, or in the event
of his death, to his heirs, all moneys
that may then be in the hands of the
United States. or that may there
after, from time to time, come into tht
hands of the United States, for th'
use and benefit of, or as belonging
to, such allottee."
The resolutions were forwarded t

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator Hey
burn Friday completed his criticisms
of the postal savings bank bill in the
senate, but, aside from his speech, lit
tie progress was made in the consider
alton of the measure. However, it will
be before the senate again today and
Senator Carter, in charge of the meas
ure, expects vote on it not later than
next Thursday.
Mr.. Hepburn declared the bill had
been drawn so loosely that if enacted
into law, it must inevitably result in
scandal. 1t should, he said, be safe
guarded more carefully than some past
legislation, and he instanced the cor
poration tax law, which he said had
already proved unsatisfactory.
Detailing his objections to the bill
he said there was no provision for Sc
curing deposits, that in providing fol
secrecy regarding deposits it would
prove a shield to dishonesty, and that
in the end it would be found to be i'm
possible to find investment for the
postal savings fund.
The bill, he declared, to be a mere
skeleton and he advised the commit
tee to take it back and put some 'sin
ews and flesh upon it"
Mr.. Hepburn spoke at length regard
ing the possible abuses that nigh grow
out of the secret methods provided in
connection with deposits.
Mr.. Garter protested against this
line Of reasoning, saying that nc leg

]. CARTER COOK HAS
RENDERED RESIGNATION

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 5.-J Carter
Cook has been successfully sidetrack-
ed.
This is the story that comes from
an authoritative source today. Cook
was recently suspended by wire by
Commissioner ]. George Wright, who
was in Washington at the time John
d. Benedict and his three school sup
ervisors were deposed. 1t is asserted
that Cook was given an opportunity
to resign and he sent in his resigna-
tion yesterday. Mr.. Cook could not
be reached today. Just what the
charges against Cook consisted of has
never been clearly known. Cooks
friends allege that he was fired be-
cause he had backbone enough to ex-
onerate a democratic county official,
whom he was investigating on some
Indian minor land matters.

Before Senate Again Today--Declares that

Carter Makes No Reply.

islation proceeded upon the theory
that the average man was crook
An interesting colloquy between the
western senators ran as follows:
Mr., Heyburn-"Out of what fund
would the interest be paid?"
Mr.. Carter-"The bill contemplates
the turning over of all surplus earn
ings for that purpose"
Mr.. Hepburn Suppose there are
none?''
Mr.. Carter-"Then it will devolve
upon the board of trustees to devise
means"
Mr.. Heyburn-"The bill devolves toe
many things upon the uncertainties OF
the futurel"
In conclusion Mr. Hepburn prom
ounced the bill to be utterly vicious
and predicted that in the end it would
be necessary to pay the deposits by
appropriation out of the national treas
ury
Mr. Carter made no formal reply tc
the criticisms, merely asking to have
the bill printed in the Congressional
Record as the best possible refutatior
of the representations of its oppon
ents.
