The Oldest kljckitat.

Jake Hunt, the oldest living Klicki-
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
Of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries on
a general farming business. All that
is left Of the old settlement Is a little
church, a totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark. Old
Jake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent Of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not to die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any in the valley and
command a high price. He is said to
have married seven times during his
long career, but there will be only a
widow and a few children to fall heir
to his valuable property.-Husum Cor

Has an Ole Relic of Washinoton.

One of the most interesting relics of
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. 1t is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire, native genius with a gift for
portraiture. He studied Washington
when the father Of his country visited
Salem on his tour of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the efigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
freproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness Of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.

REAL ESTATE MEN
President Parmley Outlines Pressing
Matters at Pierre Meeting

Pierre-At the meeting Of the
State Real Estate Dealers assocla-
ton in this city Hon. ]. ". Parmley
OF Ipswich, president of the associa-
ton, took as the subjects OF vital i'm
portance to the people of the state
at the present time, the following five
propositions.
Greater improvement of orr primary
transportation facilities.
Improved methods of farming by
means of the extension of the farmers
Institutes work.
The proper conservation of our ar
tesian waters.
The management of our state lands.
The proper advertising OF the op-
~portunities South Dakota offers to the
~homeseeker.
With these five subjects ne allows
the first three to go as matters too
apparent to need any explanation, but
goes into considerable detail in regard
to the last two. He declares the pei
icy of the state in the past to have
been that of a permanent investor
who does not improve his property,
but waits for the development OF the
country to give it increased value. He
shows that in some townships OF the
state the state lands take up so great
a portion OF the territory that the
settlement left is not sufficient to build
up anything, an dthat as there are
no "neighboring farmers" to lease
the state lands they go Unbiased and
bring no revenue. His doctrine is that
by a sale of one-fourth the lands, the
increase in value of the rest through
improvements on the land sold would
more than make up the difference 10
the state. He commends the ado tion
Of the constitutional amendment
which provides for lease of such lands
for agricultural purposes, but believes
that sale outright would be far more
beneficial.
His strong talk is for an immigra-
ton bureau, with a man at the head
of it who believes strongly enovgh in
the state to put himself into the work.
