ATTEMPT TO RECOVER MANY
MILLIONS FOR GOVERNMENT.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 28.-Rich-
ard Adams, a half-breed Delaware
Indian, who represented the Choc-
tow tribe in similar action and Sc
cured $12,O0O,00, has been retained
by the Nez Pelce Indians of Northern
Idaho to recover 100000 from the
United States government for lands
in various part of the Northwest
taken from them by federal authori-
ties. This was decided upon at a
council continuing several days at
Lapawai agency, when arrangements
also were made to gather all the
available data, to be used when the
case is presented to the courts. At
a council to take place in a few days
at Lapwai agency a committee will
be named by Silas Whitman, an ed
ucated Nez Perez Indian, to assist
Adams in compiling list of the
lands claimed by the tribesmen.
Adams has expressed confidence in
winning the case and has undertaken
the work on contingent fee of 10
per cent. of the amount awarded in
the event the business of the claim
is established, otherwise he is not to
receive penny from the Indians for
his efforts in their behalf.

GOVERNOR HAY OUTLINES
SOME NEW LEGISLATION

White Salmon, Sept. 2.-Woodman
hall was packed to receive Gov. Hay
who visited White Salmon on his
way from inspecting the Lyle portion
of state road No. 8. He was accom-
panied by Highway Commissioner
Roberts. The governor said he
thought it mistake to do much road
work at this point. The Lyle road
has cost the state in cash and con-
vict labor $4,000, which the people
cannot use until the two ends are
connected.
In his impromptu speech the gov
ernor referred to the very material
reduction of the states monied in
debtedness.
Two important measures are
contemplated for future legislation. y
he said, "a school system which, in
stead of a tendency to educate chill
dren from the farms to the cities
which contain half the population of
the state-will educate them to stay
In the country; in other words, scien-
tine agricultural and horticultural in
struction in all schools, and the
other measure is a probation plan
for minor criminal offenders. for IT
is mistake to jail them for the
first offense.'

The letter from the representatives

"Does President Markham's re-

asked.

SAYS RECIPROCITY
is RATHER DOUBTFUL

Seattle, Sept. 2.-sI can't believe
that the American people have SO
far lost all the traditions of their
civilization as to contemplate such
a move as the recall of judges" said
Justice George Gray, of the United
States circuit court, who, with his
wife, is a guest. at the Washington
hotel. Justice Gray ID from the
Third circuit, including the states OF
Delaware, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.
People Entitled to the Best
''The boast of the English-speak-
ing people for $50 years. continued
Justice Gray, has been the inde-
pendence of their judiciary-its
freedom from influence. Under a
democratic government, they are en-
titled to the very best that has come
to them from the past, and cannot
believe that they will disregard 1t. .
Jusice Gray. who is Democrat,
declared that he hoped that the reci-
procity movement, $50 splendidly
brought about by President Taft, .
would be approved by the Canadian
electorate. He intimated, however,
that the prospects for reciprocity
getting the approval of the Canadi-
ans at the coming election was very
doubtful.

TWO MORE GREAT POWER
SCHEMES UNDER WAY.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 6.-Official
announcement will be made before
the end of September by the Pacific
Power & Light company of it's plans
to develop 100000 horsepower by
hydro-electric installation in the Col
umbia river at Priest Rapids, Wash,
southwest of Spokane, at cost OF
from 100000 to $1O,0OO,OO0. 1t

ington.
A wing dam, diverting part of the
current of the Columbia river from
the main channel into a power canal.
now is furnishing power for the COM
pany's electric plant at Priest Rap
Ids, and the use of this method of
development will be continued until
the large dam is in position and
ready to take the load.
The bill passed by Congress re-
Gently, giving the Pacific company
authority to dam the Columbia river.
also provides for locks, whereby nav
igation will be aided by the compile
ton of the big wall.
Great Plant at Kootenai.

ELECTRICITY IS USED TO
DESTROY ORCHARD PESTS

Electricity as an agency to destroy
the codling moth and other bug pests
is the latest innovation introduced
in modern apple orcharding in the
Spokane valley, where w. M. Frost,
of Opportunity, Wash, and ]. C.
Lawrence, practical grower of Spo-
kane, have just made what is de-
clared to have been the first demon
stration of it's kind in the world.
old orchard and more than a score of
second-brood moths and many green
aphis were killed in a few moments.
The apparatus consists of a stor-
age battery to charge the incandes-
cent light globes, each of six-candle
power, which are netted with fine
steel wire, coated with copper and
tin, alternately. Attracted by the
bright lights in the trees, to which
the globes are carried at the ends
of covered wire, the moths fly
against the netting, complete the
electric circuit and are instantly
killed, the bodies falling into a re-
ceptacle placed beneath the globe.
Frost estimates that one battery
to an acre of trees will keep the
moths under control, thus eliminating
the usual spraying and saving many
dollars annually for help, equipment
and fluid. He is now preparing to
wire his orchard of ten acres, con-
tanning 700 trees, and several neigh
bors, who witnessed the initial test.
are doing likewise. 1t is reported
that several thousand acres of bear
ing apple trees will be equipped with
exterminators by next spring.
II commercial electric wires are
extended to the orchard tracts. as
they are in many of the valleys in
washington, Idaho, Oregon and Mon
tana, the expense of batteries may
De saved by making direct connec-
ton. The cost of covering the globes
with wire nets is a small item and
any electrician can do the work.

SUBTERRANEAN LAKES
OUTSIDE JURISDICTION,

Olympia, Sept. 4.-That the pub
lis service commission has no juris-
diction over subterranean lakes is
held by S. v. Carey, assistant attor-
ney general, in an opinion to that
body. He holds that the state only
regulates water furnished by water
companies, and he says the rights in
question are those Of private indi-
viduals. The complaint came from
the Yakima valley, where it was
claimed new and larger wells were
depriving the older settlers of their
proper share Of water from a SUBJ
tarranean lake.

San Francisco, Sept. Repre-
sentatives Of the five shop craft
unions, whose application for recog-
milton OF the Federation Of Shop EN-
ployes was yesterday refused by the
Southern Pacific, are still in confer
ence late tonight without having
reached any definite plan of action.
1t is thought possible that another
meeting with the railroad officials
will be sought.
Late last night President Kline, of
the Blacksmith union, said:
"Owing to the deadlock between
the committee and Mr.. Kruttschnitt
it is practically certain that the COM
mittees of the unions involved will
be called to San Francisco immedi-
ately for consultation.
"The international officers now
here have not receded from their
demand that the federation be rec
ognized.
Precedent Is Cited.
"The railroads recognize and deal
with collective transportation or
CARNATIONS; they should receive the
shop trades on the same basis.
'''Joint action is recognized on
fourteen railroad systems with en-
tire success and the Hartman lines
will have to come to it.

president and director of mainten-
