INGRAM BEATEN.
CAROLS Capture Basketball Game,
81 to 19,

At the Ingram gymnasium last night
Jack Haas light bunch of scholastic and
ex-scholastic athletes were defeated, 81
to 10, by the heavier and more expert
enced basketball team representing Car
roll Institute. Manager Beaulac sprung
a mild surprise on the northeast rooters
when he placed Dick Downey and Freddie
Rice, two former Georgetown basketball
captains, on the floor in the preliminary
practice. Downey jumped center in the
game, while Rice, who has not yet round
ed into condition, was held in reserve
The first half was bitterly contested,
much rough work resulting, and the
score being at all times very close, with
Carroll usually a point or two ahead.
Ingram's teamwork shone best in the
early part OF the game, when Varela,
Chase, and McCaffrey, the Eastern High
School trio, had the visitors on the run,
while Carroll had everything their way
in the second half. The lineup:

STRIKES TO Be ILLEGAL
Bill to be introduced Providing Big
Fine for Incitin9 Strikes or
LOckOuts

Declaring strikes and lockouts to
be illegal and providing compulsory
arbitration for all disputes are the
means set forth to solve the labor
question in a bill prepared by State
Senator George w. Shaefer Of Spo-
kane for introduction at the coming
session of the Legislature. The
penalty for melting strike or
lockout is fixed at 81, 600.
The bill provides that every en-.
ploye may be fined $50 for every
day he is on a strike, while any
employer causing a lockout becomes
liable to a fine of $40 a day for
each employe thus deprived Of work
this is no instance to be less than
500 a day in the aggregate The
arbitration board is to be composed
of five members, two each to be selec-
ted by employer and employed, the
four chosen to appoint the fifth.
Any member accepting a gratuity
from either side is liable to a fine
81 900.
Seven classes of industrial dis
putes are named as coming within
the jurisdiction of the arbitration
board, as follows: Wages, hours
and terms of employment, employ
ment of children, favoritism, faulty
material or damaged work, estab-
lished customs and uses of various
trades and Interpretation Of agree
ments.
Difference arising out of any Of
the foregoing causes is ground for
applying to the commissioner OF
labor to appoint a board of arbitra-
ton, following which neither en-
ployer nor employed is permitted
to make any change in the terms OF
conditions of employment until a
final decision has been given by the
board. In the event no decision is
reached a new board may be sum-
moned at once.
| While the board is empowered te
summons witnesses and take testi
mony, attorneys at law are barred
from appearing except by agree men
of both parties and all members O
the arbitration body.

nineteen MILLION FOR FISH

The teeming salmon in the waters
of the Northwest are a source OF
wealth, as is shown by the report
of the years operations by cannery-
men. The salmon output for 1910
in North Pacific waters amounted
to total value of about $40 600, 900.
Alaska waters yielded the most, or
over 81, 100000. Puget Sound
salmon had a value of s3,O45. 422,
and Oregon waters, principally the
Columbia River, yielded salmon to
the amount of s., 500, 900.

MILLION acres
FOR SETTLEMENT
Colville Reservation to. be Opened
after the Indians Get Their
Allotments

More than 900, 900 acres of ag-
ricultural, grazing and timber lands
will be available for homestead pur-
poses when the Colville Indian Res
ervation, north of Spokane, is open
ed for settlement, according to Clair
Hunt, alloting agent in charge of
the apportionment of the reserve
land.
There are about 2, $50 allotments
to be made,' Mr.. Hunt said while
in Spokane today, and the Indians
are choosing chiefly agricultural and
grazing lands. This will take about
300, 900 acres of total of 400, 900
contained in the reserve leaving L.
100000 acres that will belong to
the people.
Much of this will be first-class
agricultural land and large part
Of it will be covered with some of
the finest timber in the state of
Washington. A few Of the Indians
have shown a disposition to take
land in the timber regions.
THE Colville Indians are good
agriculturists and grow all kinds Of
grains, fruits and vegetables. Some
of the finest peaches raised III the
state of Washington are grown on
reservation lands. The Indians are
peaceable and friendly to the whites.
They are industrious and thrifty,
and only a few of the older men,
who are incapacitated for work, re-
quire aid from the government
Mr.. Hunt added that while no
date has been fixed fer the opening
of the reservation, it is likely this
will follow soon after the compile
ton of the allotment work. Much
of the preliminary work Of assign
ing lands has been completed, but
so far few of the allotments have
been made. However, the work is
progressing and with the arrival of
another agent and additional. help
it is expected to complete the as
signment and allotment in short or
der.

AMENDED RETURNS MADE
BY ALL BUT TEN COUNTIES

Oklahoma City, Aug. 21.-All but
ten counties have made amended re.
turns to the state auditor showing the
banks to be assessed at their full value
under the requirement of the law gov
erning the assessment of such institu.
tions. That porto nof the former re-
turns was sent back to the counties. in
accordance with the provisions of the
law.
Accountants compiling data for use
of the state board of equalization in
making the tax levy have been delayed
SO that the auditing force might be
able to tabulate the full revised re-
turns of all counties and ascertain
with exactness the total amount of
property.
It is a desire of the administration
to pay all the public Indebtedness, if
possible, out of the next tax levy. and
for this reason a statement of the in.
debtedness is being prepared. Some
of the counties find themselves con-
fused as to what debts can be paid out
of their new levy.
The trouble appears to be that the
counties heretofore have disregarded
the "full valuation" clause of the con-
stitution and laws, so when they came
to gather from the years taxes suffi-
cient to run the county government it
was found that the constitutional limit
in rate was not hight enough to bring
the required amount.

NO FURTHER DOUBT
OF HIS CANDIDACY
Indications Are That Ex-Governor Will
Wage Some Kind of Fight on
Owen as on cruce.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 1S.-It may
no longer be doubted that Ex-Governor
G. N. Haskell is planning to make the
race for the United States senate. to
displace Robert L. Owen. His repre-
sentatives are at work in many of the
counties. There are indications that
the same kind of fight is to be waged
by Haskell upon Owen that was made
upon Lee Cruce, when the latter was a
candidate for the gubernatorial nom
ination in the first state campaign.
AT this time an effort is being made
to work prejudice against Owen be-
cause he has been successful in bus
mess. First, without regard to facts.
he is accused of being worth a mil
lion dollars. This is then used as the
basis of personal attack upon Sen
ator Owen. Oklahoma is well ac-
quainted with the practice of politi-
clans who, beginning with false
statement, try to convince the people
that their arguments are true. Per-
sons having intimate knowledge of
Senator Owens private affairs fix his
fortune at not more than 100000 In
the litigation he conducted against the
United States government for his peo-
pie, large fee was paid, but Senator
Owen received comparatively small
share of it, the bulk going to other
attorneys employed in the case, which
recovered to the Cherokees several
million dollars that otherwise might
have been lost to them. Prior TO that
time Senator Owen was practically
without means. He had lost heavily
in other years in the cattle business.
Nobobdy has ever succeeded in find
ing out, in the courts or elsewhere,
how much Ex-Governor Haskell is
worth He has talked poverty for
years-on the stump. His expenditures
in politics, however, have been ire
mendous, immeasurably greater than
his salary as governor seemed to war
rant. The time is not far past when
Haskell, in the guise of a patriot was
asking for popular gifts of money to
extricate himself from his private
troubles. He received thousan of
dollars-how much was never publicly
disclosed. Since his retirement from
office he apparently has been flush
with money. His recent gift of land
and a building to the commercial trav-
elers of Muskogee ran close to $40, 900.

PLACER GROUND FOUND
IN BLACKFOOT DISTRICT

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 1S.-Placer
ground, rich in gold, has been discov-
cred in the Blackfoot district in north
ern Idaho, SO miles southeast of Spo-
kane, by All Yen, a Chinese trader
at 81 Riverside avenue, according to
his statements to officials of the Unit
ed States customs house in Spokane
on returning from an exploration trip
along the Washington-Idaho border.
The deposits, which are four miles
from flowing stream and require not
less than Is miles of fumes to convey
water to the gravel, were found more
than 30 years ago by two Chinese pros
pectors, who were killed and robbed
by white man. To destroy evidences
of the crime the rustler cremated the
bodies of his victims and fed from the
country. Yen says that a woman, who
sewed the poke to hold the miners
gold, told the rustler of the find by
the Chinese and urged him to locate
claims nearby. Instead he murdered
the miners and carried off their mug
gets. James Daniels, deputy customs
collector, to whom Yen told the story
of the find, says the trader will not
locate the claims.

PISTOL DUEL OCCURRED
At TULSA SATURDAY

Tulsa, OKLA, Aug. 21.-Jack L. Potts
former Oklahoma City man, was
shot and probably fatally wounded
here at 1880 o'clock Saturday night
in street duel with "Rube" Marlowe.
Potts is a prominent real estate
man, while Marlowe is a dry goods
merchant. The trouble arose over a
suit involving the Frisco townsite ad-
dition to the city of Tulsa. The two
men are principals in the suit.
AT least a dozen shots were ex-
changed when the men met, but spec
tators are unable to agree as to who
fired first. Marlowe was unhurt, but
five Of the bullets from his gun took
effect in Potts abdomen
While with the Waters-Pierce oil
four years ago Potts had
headquarters at Oklahoma City. He
is well known in all parts of the state.
After leaving the Waters Pierce COM
pany he went to Sulphur, where he
opened a real estate and insurance Of

at Oklahoma City since coming here,
his last trip being about thirty days

Potts is still alive, but fears are en-
