able to do.
Discharged Cured.
But sudden exigencies of politics in
the fall of 1904 and the demand made
by E. H. Hartman that certain wishes
of his should be carried out compelled
the organization leaders. as they
thought to make short shift of Frank
Black and to command the Republic
can leaders to renominate Chauncey
NJ. Depew.
From the moment when he heard
his discharge pronounced, Governor
Black regarded himself as having
been discharged cured. All political
ambition was ended with him, at least
so far as New York state was con-
cerned He had been taken very far
behind the curtain. much farther than
he was permitted to go when governor,
and he saw the game of politics in all
its naked reality. No more OF thai Tor
him, he said, and his purpose was to
devote himself exclusively to the prac-
tice of law until he had earned enough
money to make a reasonable income
for the rest of his life.
His earnings at the bar since 1905
must have been large. and, according
to common report in this city, he has
accumulated a considerable fortune.
It is with real regret that intelligent
men in New York state have learned
that Governor Black has not only
abandoned politics, but is speedily to
retire from professional practice, so
that he may become a sage while still
a. comparatively young man upon his
farm in New Hampshire. Already in
timations have been heard in this city
that New Hampshire will most cordial
" welcome Governor Black. will be re-
joiced when he assumes citizenship in
that state and will be disposed at one
of the early opportunities which may
offer to elect him United States sena-
tor. Unless, however, Governor Black
changes his mind he will not be sD1pt-
ed in this way.

New York, Jan. 29.@The New York
American league baseball team will
go through the season of 1912 with
the highest average-in one respect at

ROAD INTO RESERVATION
WILL ALSO BE PUSHED
Vice-President Cooper of the
Northern Pacific Railway
Spends Couple of Days in the
Valley

Another step forward towards a
steam railroad into the Cowiche was
taken Saturday when Vice President
Thomas Cooper of the Northern Pa
cific railway came to North Yakima.
In the afternoon, accompanied by
George Donald of the North Yakima
& Valley railway, Mr. Cooper made a
trip into the CoNiche by automobile
and looked over the proposed route
for the extension of the valley line
Also he inquired into the development
of that part of the valley and the
pr bable tonnage that the route would
be called upon to carry, both at this
time and in the future. General
Counsel Reed of the railway was also
in the city from Tacoma, and the gen
tlemen named and Attorney Ira
Englehart. the Yakima counsel of the
railway company, were in conference
for a part of the day
Road Lone Planned
Mr.. Donald. as is well known, has
long planned an extension of his line
into the Cowiche valley, running from
his present Naches line up through
the Cowiche canyon at the Painted
Rocks and tapping an extensive coun.
try which is being developed under
the Tieton. Ranchers in the Cowichs
have not been altogether pleased with
the route as planned by the promoters
and have been asking for the electri,
line which, they hoped, would ge
closer to the present center of popula.
ton, near the Cowiche store, than i
was intended to run the steam road
But little satisfaction has been OBJ
tanned from the electric line people
Ranchers in the Tieton, on the othe,
hand, have made representations tt
Mr. Donald. pointing out the posi-
bilities of the acreage under theil
ownership and asking him to come t.
them at the earliest possible moment
Will Result In Rails
1t is understood that the details pre-
liminary to actual building are nov
being settled and that the line will b,
constructed in time to handle tn,
heavy freight of the fall.
Mr.. Cooper, Mr.. Donald and other
interested will today make trip int
the Yakima reservation and consider
the railway extensions there, especial.
that from Toppenish out over tn,
reservation to White Swan. They will
also go into the Zillah country ant
study that situation. While the tril
of Mr.. Cooper is really and primaril,
one of inspection. it seems to be tn,
general belief that very early result
will be rails in the sections named
where lines have been planned.

lection of money. and after they got
the contract signed the lawyers
brought the papers into Washington.
1t was never known whether the pa
pers were destroyed or what was done
with them. or whether they are now
in the Indian office. The government
never said anything about 1t. Major
Anderson was one of the lawyers.
About three years ago | went into
Spokane and saw lawyer by the
name of Peacock; got him to write a
letter to Senator Jones inquiring with
regard to the money. l got an answer
from Senator Jones that the money
had already been sent out there and
told me that within 10 days he would
write. me another letter. l got a sec
ond letter telling me that the money
was in the Indian department. After
findin out where the money was l
inquired of the Indian department
about the money. Senator Jones went
to the Indian department and asked,
Why do you not send this money to
the Indians?'
Told to Wait for Census
The Indian department told Sena-
tor Jones that the Indian agent, Web
ster, was working hard in taking the
census, and as soon as he got through
the taking of the census of all the In
dams they would get the report from
him: that they were waiting for his
report. And we have never seen Web
ster for the last six or seven years.
The report was that he was among the
Indians taking the census, but he
never showed up.
Last year / wrote to Senator Jones
again and asked him about the Indian
money. and he said would receive the
hrst payment the first of next March.
They started in paying some of the
Indians last June, and there are only
about one-third of the Indians who
got anything--some of them about
5000, some $3.50 and some $40. We
asked the Indian agent how many In
dams were entitled to that money. and
ne never told us how many there
were"
