KEEP AWAY FROM YAKIMA.

Receiver Frank TwitcheI, of the To-
cal Land Office at Yakima, issues a
warning to veterans of the civil and
Spanish wars to keep away from the
Yakima Reservation, and not be de-
luded by the specious appeals of land
agents. Mr.. Twitchell says that nearly
every statement made in the circulars
issued by these land agents is false.
He says:
I'm the first place, the statement Is
made that the Indian Reservation Will
be allotted by drawing. No one knows
whether that method will be followed.
No one even knows whether the reser-
vation is TO be opened. II 1t is, the In
dams now upon It will have first chance
at the land, and there are so many of
them there will be little left for settlers
The statement is made that the ap-
plicant will not need to visit the place
of entry, but can have an agent ap-
pear for him. That also is falsehood.'
This statement is confirmed by sew
eraI comrades who reside in the neigh
borhood of the Yakima Reservation and
who are familiar with the land and the
conditions. They warn their comrades
to keep away and not waste their money
and, what is of more consequence, their
lives in trying to settle and make habit
able country which may or may not
be opened. Yakima County, in which
the reservation is situated, is one Of
the least favored portions of the great
State of Washington. The County is as
big as Connecticut, but only a portion
of it is fit for farming purposes, and of
the remainder only part is suitable for
grazing. 1t lies under the shade of the
great Cascade Range. which shuts off
from it the warm currents from the
Pacific which make the western por-
ton of Washington so desirable and so
fruitful The rainfall is less than IS
inches per annum, or about oHe-third
Of that in the eastern United States. 1t
is possibly as low as 10 inches in va
kima County, and the rainfall Is still
more unfavorable from the fact that it
always occurs during the Winter
months. The range of temperature is
extreme, running from 80 degrees be-
low zero to 112 above. The Yakima In
dians succeeded in raising considerable
crops. but 1t is by aid of irrigation, of
amount, since the snowfall on the east
ern side Of the Cascades Is very light.
and is often evaporated without wet
ting the ground. Altogether it is a
most undesirable country for any vet
eran, young or old. to begin life anew

There was a spirited debate In the
Ohio Democratic Convention over the
request of w. ]. Bryan that Ohio should
indorse a man for Senator. In the
course Of the debate, however, the real
reasons were kept carefully out OF
sight. One of these was that with nc
Endorsement there would be Il number
of candidates In the field who would
swell the campaign fund by liberal con-
tributions. The second reason was, q
suspicion on the part of Harmon's
friends his opponents wanted to side
track him in the Senate and remove
him from the Presidential possibility.

SPIRIT OF MEMORIAL DAY.

The address of Comrade c. K. Reif-
snider, Commander of Ransom Post,
st. Louis, Mo-, on Memorial Day, was
unusually full of thought and finely
expressed. Among other peculiarly
striking passages were:
The angel called Death comes and
goes. His coming casts deep shadows;
his going leaves strange light. In
times of peace he comes and marks a
door post here and there; in war he
strikes by thousands and casts shadows
of corresponding darkness. He goes,
leaving a pathway of light from earth
to heaven; a broader view of earth. a
wider vision of our future home.
Memorial day is a day of ennobling
and eXaltation. Our thoughts mold
our fate because thought and life are
one. If we give all that we have and
do all that we can do and yet think
unkindly 1t profits us nothing. But
loving thoughts of those who live and
loving memories of those passed on
unite and hold US in one brave army
here. and one more glorious army lover
there" The shouts of our army rising
from the earth are answered by the
hosts encamped on high. The armies
of heaven are sent to reinforce armies
on earth. What greater inspiration
could come to the sentinel ON watch
the soldier in camp; what else could
give such courage in the charges OF
battle? Had we the faith of Elijah
and Elisha, my dear comrades, we
might behold their camps their horse
men and their chariots as described by
the Prophet in the Holy Word, and
show them to the young men beside US.

The greatest gold rush since 1897.
when the country was wild about the
Klondike, is now being made toward
Iditarod, in Alaska. Every steamer
leaving Seattle is loaded down with pas
sengers and freight and every berth on
them is sold out long before the steam
er's day of starting. One letter from
there pictures 55 miles of pay dirt on
five creeks already discovered, averag-
ing 500 feet in width and so rich that
it is not unusual to secure anywhere
from IS to $50 per pan. One man, who
secured six claims, has leased them in a
way to bring him 100000 per year as a
one-sixth interest. 1t is predicted that
$1,00O,O00 will come out of the camp

TO SECURE sSO,OOO,OoO ESTATE
Elmer w. Romine Organizing Heirs of
Sir Thomas Moore.

Elmer w. Romine Organizing Heirs of
Sir Thomas Moore.
An organized effort to secure the
paying over Of vast estate in Eng
land to the heirs of Sir Thomas Moore
was brought to light by the filing in
the county clerks office Of articles Of
Incorporation of the /" Moore Heirs, !"
by Deputy County Clerk Elmer w.
Romine.
For years rumors of the leaving of
an estate estimated at $50, ,00O,0 900 by
Sir Thomas Moore have been current
and individuals have worked hard col
lecting old records and data with a
view Of securing their share in this
estate only to find after many days of
hard work that huge proposition
confronted them. Committees have
been organized and spasmodic search
ing of records have resulted. With
about $50 heirs of the late Sir Thomas
in this country who are scattered from
Maine to Florida and fron the ATTAIN
tic to 6he Mississippi the efforts of the
indiyiduals have proved futile in col-
lecting the necessary data.
Mr.. Romine, who is a lawyer, after
watching the progress of the work,
started to collect material on his own
account, for he too is an heir He has
already secured vast amount Of fam
lily records and histories. He believed
that the only feasible plan to attack
the subject was by organization and
he organized the corporation under
the laws of the state of New Jersey.
The association under its charter is
given the right to collect in any part
of the world records and information
regarding their claims against the
estate. The princiele Office of the
corporation is in Morristown and Mr..
Romine is the agent in charge.
The trustees named in the certifi-
cate of incorporation are Amanda Will
son, of Parsippany, VINO will probably
be the president of the association /;
Charles Stites, Of Dover, N. j. the
probable vice president; Mr.. Romine
secretary and attorney Robert Sites,
Of Andover, N. j., the treasurer
The various heirs are many of them
joining the association and are send
ing in their membership cards and
family records.
The estate is now in the hands Of
the Bank Of ERgland awaiting the
presentation OF proper proof Of owner
ship whereupon an order will be issued
by the chancery court to pay over the
money.
