Very FlatteriHg

Wepoint with objectionable pride to the
list of business and professional men and
others who are represented in the adver-
Using columns OF the TINES. This array
OF advertising, while very fatterng to
the publisher from a financial point OF
view, also indicates the progressive spirit
that is predominant among the business
interests Of jerome.
Had We the space it would give us Il
great amount Of pleasure to refer indi-
vidually to each OF these advertisers, but
trust that in the future We may have
many occasions TO call attention to them
in some pleasing way.
Coming among you an entire stranger,
we cannot help but feel grateful at the
cordial reception We have received among
the business men, having found them all
OF a jovial, open-hearted disposition,
eager and willing to lend helping hand
and words Of encouragement to any en-
terprise tending to enhance the welfare
of the town, and we trust our readers
will closely scan our advertising columns
and become familiar with the names OF
those who are soliciting your patronage.
In this connection We wish to add that
being unfamiliar with names, some error
will undoubtedly occur, which we trust
will be overlooked

ARE INDIANS bR|BED
Petition Relating to Crooked Practice
Forwarded to Washington,
Says Live Wire.

The Pendleton Live Wire says: In
direct violation of all federal statutes
for dealings with Indians, leases have
been made and are being made on the
reser vatlon in which bribes are en-
ployed. Those pursuing these dealings
are in general new renters who desire
to take the place of old renters.
Valuable presents. suoh as saddles,
and large sums of money are known to
have been paid over during the last
few days to Indians to bind leasing
agreements. The white man who takes
any such action with an Indian lays
himself open to long term in fed
eral Jail.
Leases are now being renewed on the
Umatilla reservation. 1t is impossible
for any would-be renter to bid high
er rental for the rent is fixed by the
government on the basis of land val
ues.
Being unable to bid higher figure,
the practice has obtained sometimes
of making offers of side considerations.
So rank has this become in the past
two weeks that a committee of old
ranohers have drawn up a petition
and forwarded it to Washington. This
petition contains names. dates and the
amount of bribes paid to Indians not
to renew present leases and to turn
out present renters in favor of new
ones.
The traffic does not seem wrong to
the Indian. He is essentially bar
gamer and presents of all kinds appeal
to him. Whether it be quart of
wbiskey or 5000 saddle with which
the agreement is bound. there is now
no doubt but that great mum ber of
trades have been made through trick
cry.

THE CASEDAY CASE AFFIRMED
Unless Sentence Is COMMITTED He Must
Suffer Extreme Penalty of Law.

The case of the State Of Oregon vs..
Joseph H. Caseday has heen affirmed.
On Christmas night, 1909, he arrested
Ollie Snyder near Monument, Grant
county. While he had him in custody
and was on bis way to Canyon City
with bis prisoner. he oonspired with
Ben Hinton, ALERT Green, Emmett
Shields and Earl Shields to lynch Sny
der. Snyder was killed near Hamil-
ton. Hinton was tried and convic ted
of murder IN the second degree. The
other defendants entered a pl3a of
murder in the same degree. Caseday
stood trial and was found guilty of
murder in the first degree. He was
sentenced to be hanged on the 7eooud
day of last September. Ihe case was
appealed and the lower court over
which Judge Geo. e. Davis presided,
affirmed. Caseday will now have to
suffer the extreme penalty of the law
unless executive olamenoy is extended
to him. 1t is thought that friends Of
the condemned man and a number
of citizens of The northern part of
Grant county will inteTcede with Gov
ernor West and attempt to have the
sentence commuted to the same degree
of murder that the co-conspirators
were convicted Of.

MORE TEAMS ADDED
Money Raised BY Commercial Associa-
tion for Athena's Part of Ex-
pense in Building Road.

Twelve teams are now at work
hauling crushed rock for the Athena
Weston macademi zed road. Addi-
tional wagons and boxes were received
this week and the teams furnished by
farmers are transporting the rock from
crusher to roadway in large quanti-
ties.
AT a special meeting Monday night,
the Commercial Association took up
Athena's end of the road matter. An
estimate calling for $500 to defray
Athena's part of the expense of build
ing the road, was made aud President
Belts appointed s. +. Wilson. B. B.
Richards, VI. l.. Watts, III. A. Barrett
aud N. A. Miller to serve the Associa-
tion in the capacity of financial COM
mittee. The committee was author
lied to solicit the funds and turn them
over to James Henderson. treasurer of
the Association, who will employ men
and have charge Of the timekeeping,
etc.
For this road improvement the coun-
ty is crushing the rock and spreading
it on the road after proper surfacinR
has been done. which is also at the
countv's expense. The city OF Athena
has given free access to her rock quar-
~ for material for one half of the
roads construction. which will take
the macademiZed road to point this
side of the sIidge at the CHM place,
where the Weston part of the work
will meet it. The farmers OF the COM
munity are furnishing teams to do the
hauling, but these teams require feed
and drivers. and incidental expense is
to be met And it is for this that the
Association committee has teen solio-
iting funds.
