ADMITS THAT SHEEP

Forest Reserve Man Writes H.
Stanley Coffin Asking for AMI
mails for Okanogan

II. Stanley Coffin was much elated
Saturday when he received a letter
which was written by the assistant
ranger of the Okanogan National for
est. The write said that the Forest
people were anxious to procure more
sheep to Craze on the Okanogan re-
serve because of the protection they
afforded against forest fires. Mr.. Cof-
fin is one of those who has all along
contended that the sheep were pro-
lection to the timber but the repre-
sentatives of the government In the
Forest Reserve service have been slow
to admit it. Now they have done SO
and are asking for more sheep
Grazing for Many Sheep
The Okanogan reserve, according
to the writer, will support rs, 600 head
of sheep from April / to Novem Der l..
He adds that the Great Northern
railway gives special rate to Night
hawk and that while there is not
much hay available for feeding there
are some three hundred tons or there
abouts available in the Methow VAL
lay. The grasses are pine and bunch
grass, weed feed and Wild pea and in
addition there is extensive browsing
on several kinds of tree growth. II.
M. Hale, the forest supervisor, Is to
be at Wenatchee January IL and a
day or two thereafter to meet the
sheep men. He is an experienced
stockman and is prepared to make
proper conditions for those using tbs
range Because the writer said in his
letter that "the forest service is anx-
ious to procure the additional sheer

| ford and because it believes that the
use of the range by sheep will re-
suit in better timber" Mr.. Coffin 4:

Conscience Of Minister Causes
Him to Plead CIlty to Kill
ing Former Swestheart
ATTORNEYS BELIEVE
HIS MIND EFFECTED
Confession Following Close on
Heels of His Attempt at Self
Mutla6on Indicate That His
Mind May Be Unbalanced

BOSTON, Jan. Cit is said to have
been at the time Of his horrible self
mutilation on December 20, that Rev.
Clarence Richeson first insisted upon
confessing the murder Of his former
sweetheart, Avis Linnell. Even while
bleeding from his wounds he isssaid
to have chung to his counsel, William
A. Morse. and pleaded to be allowed
to tell him the whole story, #S
Feeling that his client might pe Ia
boring from loss or mental as well as
physical strength, Morse refused to
hear him, and through his GONZALES
cence Richeson remained quiet, in
fact, almost speechless. When his
attorneys visited their. client early
this week Richeson cried out that he
was guilty and declared his intention
to make clean breast of the crime
His condition was such that his coun-
sci would not accept his suggestion.
Insists on Pleading Guilty
On Wednesday the attorneys again
visited his cell. and his confession
was written then by the prisoner In
spite of the efforts of his counsel to
dissuade him as they feared the hen
tal StfdiH Hau WedheHeu MS redSon-
ing powers. Richeson insisted. how
ever.
The lawyers remarked tonight that
counsel would hardly permit the con-
fession to go forth without hope Of
something less than the death PEN
atty. and 1t is the general belief thai
some understanding must have pre-.
coded the giving out of the document
One possibility suggested is a plea q
insanity through which Richeson may
be sant to an asylum.

new MOVE IN
TETON LAND
Water Users Association Asks for
Graduated System of Water
Right Payments
SECRETARY or INTERIOR
is TO BE PETITIONED
Law Requires Return of Money
Used in Construction to Be
Made to Government Within
Ten Years and Permits Scale

Trustees of the Tieton Water Users
association started something Satur-
day which, If it goes through, will be
of incalculable benefit to this county,
town and community. They have de-
cided to petition the secretary of the
interior for graduated payments for
the Teton canal and water instead of
straight payments OF an amount each
year. What the Tieton trustees think
is right is a system of small payments
for the first four years and then in
creased payments for the remaining
six years of the ten within which the
canal and its water must be paid for.
Ralph Williamson, attorney of the
Water Users association, has been
instructed to draw up a petition to
the secretary Of the interior to that
end.
Several Good Arguments
There are several grounds on which
the request for a graduated assess
ment can be based and an appeal
made to the department. One of
these grounds is that the graduated
payment system is legal, has been pro-
vided for in the existing laws and is
actually in practice IN some sections
some such plan having been adopted
in connection with the Okanogan pro-
ject. Another ground is that the land
here is intended as orchard land and
as such has been irrigated by the gov
eminent, the theory being that such
land would stand greater cost than
II it was to be used for other pur-
poses. It is admitted that some four
years must elapse before an orchard
owner can get a return on an orchard
he has planted and as the government
aims to aid the actual settler the
graduated assessment is one of the
best helps to this end, so far as the
orchardist Is concerned
Original Cost Estimate
There is still another argument and
that is in connection with the cost
of construction of the Tieton project
Most of the present landowners under
that system purchased their land
when it was reported by the engineers
that the probable cost of the construc-
ton would be about $50 per acre
The yearly charge, then, would have
been Sc per acre instead of $3.50 az
now. The cost, however, ran to $9s
per acre which had not been antic-
ipated by the purchase of land.
1t is the law that the money must
be paid back to the government in
ten years and it is the opinion of the
Tieton trustees that it will be easier
for the settler and as fair to the gov.
eminent, if the early payments, wher
thu land is not yielding, are made
small and the later payments, aftel
the trees have begun to give a return
are made larger to meet the neces.
sary amount to be finally paid in. The
argument is one which will make it!
own appeal and which it is expected
reclamation men, among others, viii
favor.

Alaska Notes

There is an increasing demand for
California crude oil in Alaska.
The increased development in the
copper district and the advance made
in development of gold lode mines are
the most striking features of recent
work in Alaska.
In the Nome region dredge mining
has received quite an impetus. Tween
ty-two dredges were in operation dur
ing the open season and a half dozer
more have been in course of con-
struction.
There are now 465 miles of railway
in Alaska, % miles having been built
during the year The most urgent
railway need at this time is line be-
tween some open port on the Pacific
and the. Yukon basin.
~ A winter trail has been built from
Seward, on the Pacific, to the placer
mines of the Iditarod district. This
lso shortens the winter road to Nome
by some 500 niles.

Level All Over the Valley
Impeded Traffic

to eight inches of snow that fell
steadily all day Saturday. Railroad
and trolley transportation lines are

througout the county, but in no place

tity to tie up the traffic, except pos
sibly for short time. ~

ing very heavy for all sorts of vehi-
cles except those that were fortunate
enough to have runners. Those who
had a sleigh as part of their equip
ment brought it out, and the number
seen on the streets was considerable

WILD ANIMAL CENSUS
OF YAKIMA COUNTY
Game Warden Bryant Proposes to
Know How Many Birds and
Beasts He Is Caring For

Game Warden Frank Bryant is en-
gagged in a task which would appear
monumental to any one else. He
proposes to enumerate the game birds
of Yakima county His figures will
be at best but an estimate, but at that
they will not be very far from the
mark. He proposes also to take a
census of the deer of the county. To
a person who is not the woodsman
that Mr.. Bryant is, this would seem
impossible. He knows pretty we'll the
habits of birds and animals and is
learning more all the. time. He can
ascertain where the groups of birds
and animals are, with the assistance
of game lovers who will report to
him. and will make a personal inves-
tigation to determine whether there
are ten or fifty birds in the district
More Efficient Protection
Already Mr.. Bryant knows WHARF
many punches OF pheasant cartridges,
quail and other birds have their hah.
1tat and this knowledge has enabled
him to determine whether they have
been attacked by enemies. He Is ran
idly learning what these enemies are
whether bird, beast or human and the
present snowfall will aid him in thar
duty. The snow will also assist hin,
in locating and enumerating the deer
and ne will take that duty up first.
TINS week. BY knowing just where
the birds and beasts are, and bv bav-
ing friends near at hand who will re-
port poachers and pothunters to him
Mr.. Bryant thinks he can protect the
county property in wild animals in An
efficient manner. Those who have
watched his work so far agree with
him.
