Yakima Indian reservation, has
branched out in his stock business and
has purchased thirty Angora goats
which he has within an enclosure at
is property on the reservation. Mr..

suits as he anticipates he proposes

specialize on goats and hogs Mr..
Olney, who is an Indian, is one of
the most progressive stoc,, men OF

Independent says:
George Olney, who makes Wapato
his home, has been a stock raiser
since he received his allotment From
small beginning he has risen to a
position among stock men that Is the
envy of many. Mr.. Olney has dealt
from time to time in cattle and sheep,
ity of his time had been devoted to
the sheep business. In 1910 he held
at one time 800 head of sheep. These
he grazed on the reservation. During
this year he has owned several large
bands of sheep but has now disposed
of the entire number. He will buy
again next year.
"Mr Olney is now occupied in rails
ling hogs. About 20 miles southwest
of Wapato, south of White Swan, he
| has four sections of land. This i'm
mense territory he Is fencing at the
present time with Page fence of the
best quality. To cover the distance
| II requires eight miles of fencing. In
this enclosure Mr. Olney has at the
present time about 700 head Of hogs
of a marketable breed. He has erect
ed a neat residence for the caretaker
of the herd and his assistants and a
hoghouse, with every modern equip
ment and designed to meet the de-
mands of large herd at cost OF
5000.
The land embraced in Mr.. Olney's
stock corral is all allotted to members
of his family SO that he Will retain il
| indefinitely and can make Improve
ments as the demands require. He
has already expended about t45o0 in
necessary buildings on the place. and
this sum will be greatly increased by

ltemplated improvements

moral turpitude should be given to the
burglars who broke into the old Bap-
fist church. the first building north of
the New Masonic temple at the corn

street. The building was burglarized
some time between Sunday afternoon
and Tuesday morning, presumably
Sunday night.
The old building Is the hons Of the
U & I Fraternity, a secret society of
boys, with about IS members, George
Beekman being the organizer and In
charge. looking after the welfare OF
the boys, some of whom are almoat
men. This society Is a part Of the
helpful work being carried forward
by the First Baptist church.
As means of recreation and exer-
else the old building has been fitted
up as a gymnasium, the former audi
forum being utilized as q place to
play basketball and other games,
while two rear rooms have been fitted
up as dressing room and lounging
room. "a
Two gangs OF boisterous boys were
seen on the streets late Sunday night,
which gives rise to the supposftion
that the crime was committed Christi
