Government Thus Will Save Valuable
Land In the Columbia Valley.
An improvement in the reclamation
work that is now being done by the
government will be put into effect on
the Umatilla project, in Oregon, when
the forestry department working with
the reclamation service, will hay the
foundation for a great windbreak that
will protect the 10000 acres Of land
that are to be put under irrigation
More than 5000 acres will be taken
up by the forests and shrubs that are
to be grown for this purpose
1t has been found on the various irri-
cation projects that have been put un-
der way In the valley Of the Columbia
river that the greatest drawback has
been the high winds which often pre-
vail there. Theae at times have de
stroyed fruit trees and vegetable crops
and, in cases Of sandy land, of which
there is great deal, have played havoc
On the Umatilla project the entire
tract Is to be surrounded by a barrier
OF trees and shrubs 500 feet deep. The
locust, cottonwood, poplar and yellow
pine are the trees chosen because of
their quick growth. They will be
planted in such fashion that they can
be numbered from time to time and so
pay for the soil they cover.
Planted on the land north and south
at frequent intervals will be other
strips Of timber 200 feet wide. Through
these will be constructed the canals
and roads necessary for the people who
live on the tract.

Indians.

4 "A of History in the National mu-
scum. in Washington, consist
ing of articles donated and lent by Mrs.
George A. Custer, widow of Brevet
Major General George A. Custer, q.
S. 4.
General Custer is probably best re-
membered for his achievements in the
many Indian fights in which he par
tcipated and by his record as an In
dian scout The collection includes a
memento OF this phase Of his career
in the form of the white buckskin coat
in which ne has been most often pie
tured as a plainsman and scout This
coat is in excellent condition and looks
as if the general had just removed it
ard hung 1t up. 1t has deep collar and
cuffs and is heavily fringed with slash
ed buckskin trimmings. The pockets
are made much as in modern sporting
coats, while the buttons are Of the reg
ular army pattern of the period This
coat calls to mind the services General
Custer rendered the government in the
campaigns against the Sioux in 1875
and 1876, in the last oc which, the bat
tie of the Little Big Horn, he met his
death.
Accompanying the coat are yellow
plumed cavalry helmet and bucksktn
gauntlet, both worn during his active
service against the Indians from 1866
to 1876, while lieutenant colonel Sew
enth cavalry, q. S. A.
Coat He Was Married In.
There is also blue regulation army
officers coat, with two starred straps,
plush collar and cuffs, the coat which
he wore on the occasion Of his mar
rage to Miss Elizabeth Bacon, Feb.
0, 1864.
A straight cavalry saber Of tremen
dous size is also included in the col
lection. 1t was spoil of war cap
tured by Major Drew, who presented 1t
to General Custer, since he knew of
no other man able to WELD such large
weapon. II has a Toledo blade, on
which is engraved in Spanish. "Do not
draw me without cause and do not
sheathe me without honor"
A Virginia state flag, a prize of the
generals personal prowess, captured
by him in 1861, when lieutenant, is
also on exhibition. 1t is supposed to be
the first standard captured by the Army
Of the Potomac.
One object of great historical signii-
canoe, though of rather an unromantic
nature is half Of a white towel that
figured conspicuously in the battle tust
preceding the surrender of General Lee
at Appomattox. 1t seems that while
General Lee had gone to the rear Of
the Confederate lines to secure an in
terview with General Grant, leaving

White Towel That Was Util-
lied as Flag of Truce at
Appomattox.

General LOngstreet in command, Gen
eral Gordon's division became hard
pressed by the enemy and called on
Longstreet for assistance. Not being
able To furnish it at the time, Long
street sent his inspector general, Major
Il. NJ. Simms, to suggest to Gordon the
sending of flag of truce to the Fed
erals requesting a suspension of hos
tilities pending the interview between
Lee aud Grant.
Used Towel as Flag.
Following this suggestion, Gordon at
once dispatched Simms to the Federal
commander, Sheridan, with this re-
quest. AS Major Simms galloped to-
ward the lines OF the Federals he
searched his haversack FOE something
white to cover his advance, but found
only a. towel. This he drew out and
waved above his head as he approach
ed the enemy. The Union soldiers
caught sight of the white towel, held
their fire, and under this improvised
flag SimmS was allowed To enter the
lines, where he was met by Colonel
ter, who was In command of that part
Of the field. Neither of theee officers,
however, cared to declare a temporary
cessation Of hostllities just then, feel
ing that they had the advantage of the
fight and held the southern army at
their mercy.
So Simms was obliged 30 return to
his own lines without accomplishing
his purpose. He left the truce towel
in the hands of Colonel Whitaker
who took half of it and gave the other
portion to General Custer 1t was ONLY

SAPULPA WINS
COUNTY SEAT

Sapulpa Okla, Nov. 20. For the
second time since statehood the voters
OF Greek county today selected Sa
lpulpa as the county seat by a decisive
majority over Bristow who aspIred to
have the seat of government removed
to that town. Official figures as tabu
lated by the special election board last
night gave Sapulpa majority of 269
votes OF Bristow.
Today's election will probably end
a bitter fight that has been fought
through the ballot boxes and courts
since August u, 1908 when Sapulpa
was made the county seat by a ma.
jocity of 529 votes.
As soon as the victory was assured
this city. citizens began one of the
biggest celebrations ever held here.
At ten o'clock gigantic torchlight
parade with over thousand persons
in line paraded through the business
district OF the city.
Although the election was bitterly
contested in every part OF the county,
so far as could be learned tonight
there were no disturbances anywhere.
Keifer whose vote invalidated the first
election went almost solid for Sapulpa
today. The vote throughout the county
was much heavier than ever before re-
corded.
All business houses and city offices
in both towns remained closed all day
while the employers an demployees
worked for their respective cities.
The county seat has been an inter-
esting one. Sapulpa was designated
as the temporary capital at the con-
stitutional convention in 1907. The
first election to determine the perma-
nent county seat was held August IL,
I 1903, and resulted in victory for Sa-
Ipulpa, her opponent being Bristow.
Bristow Immediately contested the
election and the supreme court re-
ferred the matter to referee Barker
of Enid. who after a three year in
lvestigation filed a report last spring
declaring the election illegal. The su-
preme court ordered new election
and the governor designated the date
for it, November 20.
1t is possible that Bristow may con-
test this election but on what grounds
could not be ascertained last night
With the matter now definitely settled
it is probable that the county at once
