PAPUAN COURTESY.
Husbands Beat Each Of Their Wives
With a Different Club.

The marriage customs of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
of many other savage races. The Ger
emony is largely matter of purchase
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years Of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier.
When a young lake man desires to
get married he visits the father Of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as an induce
ment to the father to consent to the
union.
If man has gun he is great per
sonage and can demand anything. but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears most of the the Papuans have
very little. Even agricultural produce
Is scarce, the only cultivation under
A little clearing is made by both
men and women. and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women go to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with them as a protection.
The women, however. do the work.
Many families have bundle of an
Cient Portuguese cloth centuries DID,
and when young man is seeking n
bride one of these heirlooms Is gener
ally part of the deal. The youth and
the girls father haggle over the mar
riage until eventually they agree to
terms. and then the thing Is done
The men are not limited to one wife.
and once a girl is married she is sub
ject to her husband in everything and
is practically his slave.
"In another part Of New Guinea"
says a writer in the Wide World mag
azine, II remember a distinctly strong
confirmation Of the custom which
places a woman at the entire mercy
Of her husband. At one house l visit
ed l saw standing outside the doorway
three huge stone clubs. each large
enough to fell bullock.
"On making inquiries I found that
they tailed with the number of wives
owing allegiance to the householder
The clubs were used by the man to
beat his wives with if they annoyed
him. The quaint part Of 1t was that
while the women seemed to raise no
objection to being flogged unmerciful
ly by their lord and master they
would not be beaten with the same
weapon as that used on another wo
man, so the native kept separate club
for each wife"

Will be Investigated by Secretary
Of the Interior Before Money
10 Appropriated
CONGRESS TO BE TOLD
OF THE SITUATION THERE
Yakimas Receive Reply to a Petit
ton of Protest Which Was Sent
Forward to the Commissioned
of Indian Affairs

Money for the improvement of
rsadways in the Yakima Indian res
ervation, If appropriated by congress,
will be expended after investigation
BY the secretary of the interior with
reference to the need of such roads
and the probable use Of such appro-
priation in case it should be made.
The secretary is to report to the next
congress the results of his inquiry.
These are provisions of the amend
nent to the Indian Appropriation bill
finally agreed upon. The bill does
not appropriate 100000 for road i'm
provement on the reservation from
the funds Of the Yakima Indians.
This is the information contained in
a letter receiver here by L. v. Nc
Whorter from an official Of the In
dian department at Washington.
Indians Make Protest
From their council lodge on the
Yakima reservation the Yakima In
dams sent forward to the Commission
er of Indian affairs a numerously
signed petition protesting against the
bill introduced by Senator Jones and
asking for the appropriation of $780,
900 from the Indian moneys for road
construction on the reservation. The
bill, they say, was at the instance Of
Commercial clubs of white men and
is looked upon by the Indians as an
injustice. The roads, they point out,
must from necessity benefit some OF
the allottees but others, whose money
must go for the improvement, will
reap no benefit.
Need Barns They Say
Neither the state nor the county
they say, spends any money for i'm
provement of reservation roadways
and, they ask, "why should we, who
are in such dire need of houses.
barns and other adjuncts to a COM
Portable life be compelled against our
wishes to build highways at the in
stance Of conniving and deeply inter-
ested white financiers."
It is pointed out by the Indians thav
much Of the lands where the roads
are proposed are in the hands Of
wealthy white spectators who will
be benefited far more than the In
dams The prayer of the petition is
that the commissioner decline to
sanction the unjust move"
