FATHER ANDSON
ARE DROWNED
F. ], Houltine and Son Emil
Meet Death in QuinauIt
River

HOQUIAM, Feb J.-F. j. Houltine,
pioneer settler of the Quiniault val.
ley, and his 17-yearold son Emil, were
drowned in the upper Quiniault river
early Saturday morning.
The men were in canoe and when
it was capszed, they We're swept to
their death in the raging stream, that
has been out of its banks for several
days.
Just how the accident occurred is
not known, except that the men were
returning from George Melbourne 5
ranch, where they We're working and
when near their home, the canoe eth.
er struck snag and capsized, or the
men caused it to turn, both being
thrown into the cold, chilling water.
Houltine was one of the early set
tiers of the Quiniault country, reach
ing that section thirty years ago.
Since then he was carved home in
the forest, where he has reared a
family or SIX children
AS soon as the news of the drown
ing was reported, E. II. Adams came
to this city, arriving late last evening.
to secure aid to return to the cOun-
try to look for the bodies. 1t is prob
lematic whether the bodies will ever
be recovered, as they may have lodg-
ed beneath a snag and would be held
there by the swift water, or perhaps
cast out into the lake, where chance
of discovery is remote.
Mr.. Houltine was Sc years of age
and is survived by wife and five
children. One of the daughters, Hill
da, is at present dangerously i'll at
the Hoquiam General hospital, with
an attack of pneumonia.

Forty People Endeavor to
Make Entry on Four
teen Claims
HAS BEEN SCRIPT LAND
Department Of Interior De-
cides That Land Can
Be Settled

Pacific county is experiencing a
beaten that ever took place in this
section, with the possible exception
Of the r. l.. Philbrck rush into the
Iumptulips country seven years ago.
There are more than 40 people en-
deavoring to make entry on IA differ
ent claims in Township II North
Range 6 west, and some of them
hold as many as five squatters, all
seeking for advantage in making en-
try on the same land.
The land under question is script,
which has recently been ordered by
the Secretary of the Interior. 1t was
California Forest Reserve script and
was placed on this fine body of tim
Der in 1899 by C. w. Clark, of Los
Angeles.
For more than II years settlers
have kept up a constant fight to gain
title to this land which fight has been
carried from the local land Office to
the Secretary Of the Interior His
recent decision was in favor of the
settler and when rendered. the rush
began.
SO far there has not been any trou-
Bile between the sQuatters, but there
is no telling when war win break out.
Each day finds men either going into
the woods to squat on claim, or
sees them leaving, because there are
many waiting to take advantage of
any opportunity which might present
itself for the benefit of the squatJer.
The property lies on the North east
corner of Pacific county, just across
the line from Chehalis county, and
Oakville is the base of supplies.

rlmon Canneries Seek Fam
GUS QuinauIt Salmon for
Packing Purposes
CATCH WORTH $4,000. 90
Indians Sole Heirs to Ma
ture's Legacy Worth a
Fortune

From present indications, the Quin-
iault Indian Reservation will be the
battle ground for three cannery firms
the coming spring, in an effort to
secure the famous Quiniault salmon,
for packing purposes.
The Kurtz Packing company erect
ed cannery at Moclips last year and
took care of nearly the entire catch
this season. The Pacific Fisheries
Packing company of Aberdeen, recent
ly purchased the Shaffer clam can
merry, which they are tearing down
and will remodle into a salmon pack
ing plant at the same place, while the
Cooperative canning company of AS
toria has purchased site at MOclips
for the erection of cannery.
For the past ten ears, w. w. Kurtz,
has had a monopoly on the purchase
of the catch of the Quiniault Indians
Several years ago, the San Juan Fish
company of Seattle, tried to get the
fish, but lost considerable money In a
short fight, Kurtz winning.
Kurtz and the Pacific Fisheries CON-
pany became engaged in warfare two
years ago, when the latter company,
which was packing clans, erected a
salmon cannery. Kurtz Immediately
began packing clans, and now the
fight has been carried to the reserva-
ton. Both firms own trading stores
and the Indians are to be the victOrs
as a result of the fight, as they will
force the price of fish until it will
be almost prohibitive.
Last season more than 100000 fish
We're taken from the Quiniault river
by the Indians, they receiving ap-
proximately $4,000 for their catch,
which amount was divided among 33
heads of families of the tribe.

forth with Bible proofs that the COM

the Scriptures from the time when
certain of the holy angels became dis
Iobedient. He proves from the Scrip
lures that these fallen spirits per

that they also frequently person
ate the Creator and the Redeemer,
commanding their deceived ones to
pray. do penance. etc. This. however,
