Louis Mann, of Ahtanum, who Is
becoming the spokesman of his peo-
ple. the Yakima Indians, has several
times of late had communications in
the Herald In which he has pointed
out some of the causes OF complaint
held by his people against the man
ner in which they have been treated
by the white men. Again today he
sets forth the point Of view of this
people. In all his writings Louis
Mann has taken the ground and made
the plea that the Indian is trying 20
do what is right and Is doing his best.
He needs. however the aid and sup
port of honest white brothers who are

that the peaches. 142,405 packages,
had brought an average of w cents
per box to the growers. Because of
the fact that the books of the union
are in the hands of an expert auditor,
whose work Is not completed, ii was
impossible to give a proper financial

over a bunch of Poland China hogs

who is perhaps the foremost breeder
of Poland Chinas in the United States,
showed to Mr.. Parker and to l.. II.
Linbarger of this city, who accom-
panied him, a boar for which he said
he had been offered and had declined
$4,000 for a half interest This means
that the owner considers the animal
to be worth more than $4,000, and
that Mr.. Parker thinks, is going some
for a boar, even though it did weigh
something over 500 pounds.
Many Valuable Animals
Not one of the several hundred anil
mails on the place, big or little, was
worth less than s25 and not an ami
NAL is kept that has in or about it
the slightest deviation from type. Mr..
Linbarger bought a seven months old
boar for his Mckee ranch and tho
animal, crate and all, weighed $50
pounds. Mr.. Parker guessed it's weight
at 240 pounds, allowing 40 pounds for
the crate, and was 4stounded when
the animal was placed on the scales.
He says Mr.. Linbarger has a splend d
