Places Order For Eight
Million Feet

SEATTLE, May 2S.-An order for
10000 900 feet of fir lumber has been
placed with G. n. Skinner, manager
of the Port Blakely Mill company,
by the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad,

der for 100000 feet of lumber for
use on the Copper River & North
western railroad.

said by lumbermen to be the largest
individual order ever placed with one
firm in the Puget Sound district. Rail-
roads have purchased more lumber
at one time. but have themselves dis
tributed the business among various
mills.
The Grand Trunk order will be fill
ed by Seattle mills. Mr.. Skinner has
distributed it among the following
manufacturers; The Moran Company
Brace & Hergert, Ballard Lumber
Company. Bryant Lumber & Shingle
Company and the Queen City Lumber

More Than 1900 Members
of Western Washington
Tribes Benefited
ARCHER HAS BIG JOB
All Indians in Olympic Pen
insuia Will Get Land
in QuiniauIt

TACOMA, May 2S.-After years of
waiting for recognition by the depart
ment of Indian affairs, the Clallams,
Hons, Ozettes, Quilehutes, CowlitZ,
SquaXon Islands and several hunded
unattached Indians in the Olympic
peninsula and Southwestern Wash
ington will receive their allot ments
of land from the federal government.
There will be between 1900 and 1000
allOtments made in the next year and
the indians will all be assigned to
land on the Quiniault reservation.
The official order making possible
the distribution to these Indians was
received in Tacoma yesterday from
Washington, d. c., by Herbert H.
Johnson, superintendent of Indians
for Southwestern Washington, with
headquarters at the Puyallup reserva-
tiOn.
This matter has been before the
department three years, but owing to
the status of some of the Indians no
action could be taken" said Mr. John
son last night. The order most di-
rectly concerns the Callam Indians,
who number several hundred and are
scattered all over the Puget Sound
country and the Olympic peninsula.
They were one time officially sent to
the Skokomish reservation. but be-
cause they have been the traditional
enemies of the Skokomish Indians they
would not settle with them. Then,
too, the Skokomish reservation could
not accommodate both tribes.
Soon after my arrival in Tacoma,
l took up the matter of getting a
permanent home for these scattered
t,,;h h,It 10
bill passed by congress for the allot-
ing of the Hobs and Quilehutes was
amended to permit the disposition of
the other tribes not hitherto recogniz-
ed and the department has ordered
that this shall also includes the Clal-
lams, COwlitz and OZettes and all the
Indians who have been living away
from any particular tribe but who are
able to prove their connection with
one ofthe tribes not already provided
for.
Is Far-Reaching Order.
THE order is the most far-reach-
ing issued by the department affect
ing Western Washington Indians in
years. In all there will be nearly
1000 Indians affected. They are scat
tered at present from Port Gamble,
Port Angeles and the Elwa river on
the Straits of Juan de Fuca to the
Indians living on Cowlitz prairie near
Kelso, including the SquaXon Island
Indians, who own a whole island be-
low Olympia. Finch r. Archer, of
Aberdeen, has been appointed allOt-
ing agent, but orders have not yet
been received for him to go into the
field. The Indians will all be given
agricultural land on the Quiniault res
ervation, which contains more than
430 square miles. There are now
700 allotments on the reservation and
these 1000 more will occupy all the
agricultural land not taken. but will
not enter the timber section of the
territory. Most of the Indians affected
by the order are highly intelligent
and able to care for themselves with
little assistance. The settlement of
the land question for these Indians
will be a material step in improving
their condition"

MILL INTEREST SOLD
Withdrawal Of G. F. CIerin Gives e.
L. Mccormick Estate Controll-
ing Interest in Lumber Co.

RAYMOND, May 27-A change of
considerable import has recently been
made in the Clerin-Hamilton Lumber
company, whereby the stock formerly
owned by G. p. Clerin has been pur.
chased by the r. L. Mccormick es.
tate estate, w. S. Cram and Jacob
Siler of the Siler Mill company.
The change gives the Mccormick
estate a controlling interest in this
mill and it is quite probable the
mill will be renamed the Cram Lum-
ber company.
J. C. Hamilton. who was largely
instrumental in the erection of the
mill, will return from California and
take up position with the company.
Mr.. Cram will also give the affairs
of the new company much of his at
tention.
f. A. Graham, who has for num-
ber of years been identified with the
late r. L. Mccormick in various busi-
ness industries. will continue as man.
ager of the plant.

New Telephone Line

Mr.. w. P. Hawley. General Man
ager and w. A. Pankey, Assistant
Manager, of the Bluefeld Telephone
Company, spent several days in the
community this week, looking over
the ground with view of putting in
new line from Tazewel to Rich
lands and Raven. These gentlemen.
and Mr.. Hiltzheimer, the manager of
the Tazewell lines, made a trip over
the contemplated routes the first of
the week, and will later decide upon
route. AS yet they are undecided
whether to build the new line on the
present right of way down the river,
or to secure new right of way
through Baptist Valley, which would
be straight line and some shorter
The new line, when completed will be
up-to-date in every respect, and not
only give Tazewell an open, ample
line to Richlands and Raven, but
give the people of these towns an adj
equate connection with all parts of
the county. AS it is now, and has
been all the time, it is not an
easy matter to get these two points
at all. The single wire running to
Richalnds and Raven has been entire
ly inadequate to handle the business.
The Telephone people believe in pro-
gress, and will spare neither money
nor pains to meet the growing de-
mands of the community. AS the
years go by the country people will
put in additional phones everywhere,
and the company has this probability
before them in the new line. The
phone is no longer mere conven-
ience or luxury but now necessity
which will yearly increase.

ELECTRIC POWER IN
BURKE'S GARDEN
Large Plant May Be Built
There to Furnish Graham
With Lights, Etc.

The Graham correspondent to a
Bluefeld paper states that the Gra-
ham Electric Railway, as well as the
town lights of that city, will perhaps,
be operated by electricity furnished
from Burke's Garden The reporter
says that Mr.. Jno. P. Gose, who owns
the valuable water power in Burke's
Garden is largely interested in the
sheme and thinks it entirely possible
to furnish a current from Burke's
Garden to meet all the new railway
demands in Graham, cheaper than it
can be manufactured in the town. 1t
has been known for years that Mr..
Gose has contemplated utilizing his
fine water power for manufacturing
purposes, and it does seem that the
great power there which nature is
furnishing free of cost should be
utilized. AS to plausibility of fur
nishing electricity to Graham, this
is question for the experts to de.
eide, but certainly cheap power can
he obtained then sufficient to light
every home in Burke's Garden, run
all sorts of machines, and be great
blessing to that community. And,
if an electric current can be manufac
tured in Burke's Garden and trans
mitted all the way to Graham cheap
ly, why not get together and build
the long talked of car line from Taze-
we'll to Burke's Garden? While Mr..
Gose is building plant why not
build little larger, and make cur
rent sufficient to supply both needs =?
AT one time there was considerable
interest shown in proposed car line
out of Burke's Garden, but the
scheme was dropped

Took Wrong Train.

Mrs. w. e. Jenkins and Mrs. II.
l.. Parsons were visitors to the town
n few days ago. Mrs. jenkins is the
wife of the well known Pocahontas
merchant, and Mrs. Parsons is ?
prominent lady of Bramwell, w. Va.
The ladies slipped quietly into Taze-
well on he 8 80 train, and quietly
out on the 6 80 train the same after
noon, not that there was anything
clandestine about the unexpected and
brief visit of these good ladies. They
told it themselves-of course they
couldn't keep it secret-they took
the wrong train out of Bluefield
where they had been shopping, and
the first thing they knew-well, they
were in Tazewell. 1t is not at all
unusual for such a mistake to be
made by people leaving Bluefeld-
it is so perfectly natural for every
body to drift towards TaZewell.
