the stage door, and saw him in my

"there is only one thing needed to
complete your wardrobe, and ] have

jewel case and when I opened it, a
large exquisite diamond sparlsled and
flashed under the electric light "The
only condition I make" he said, "is
that you must wear It on the stage so
that it will counter balance the flash

FLOOD PREVENTION
PLAN IS BOOSTED
[uNrrnp pnnss LEASED WIRE ]


Pittsburg, Pa, Dec.3.--Urged by the
prospect of flood loss Of $40,OOO,00O
in this city within the next twenty
years, the chamber of commerce was to-
day engaged in an active campaign for
flood prevention. Booklets containing
a report from the Pittsburgh Flood
commission we're being prepared for dis
tribution and politicians and business
men were being buttonholed and asked
to aid in spreading the propaganda.
Situated on the Ohio, the Mononga.
hela and the Youghioghent rivers, Pitts
burgh offers miles Of water front to the
flood ravages. and with the rivers
rising above flood stage with increasing
frequency, the $l2,OO0,OOO lost by tho
floods within the past decade sinks
into significance when contrasted with
the greater losses forecasted "if the
city continues its past policy Of un'
progressive resignation" The com
mission was appointed by the chamber
of commerce in 1908, after three floods
between March Ia, 1907 and March 2li
1905, had caused direct loss of $6,5oOO,'
600.
In its report the commission sets
forth that floods are occurring with in
creasing frequency and greater height
and that the city will some day, in the
not dim future, experience a disastrous
forty.foot flood unless works for flood

PORTLAND RESTRAINED


Portland, Ore, Dec. 3.--A temporary
order restraining the city of Portland
from attempting to enforce the ordin-
ance enacted by the city commission
November requiring strcetcar com
panies to sell tickets calling for six
rides for 25 cents, was irsued by United
States District Judge Bean yesterday
on application Of the Portland Railway
Light & Power company.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-12-03

He is opening up these lands to prof
table investment instead of to graft
ers.
He is seeking to upbuild the strength
and education of the remaining Indians.
Thirty-four industrial schools for Indian
children are now under his care, and
there are likely to be more before his
regime is ended. Irrigation lands, too,
are opening rapidly. Many of the
Indians are having their opportunity
to cultivate these places, but heretofore
they have been sent in without proper
equipment. Sells proposes that this
system shall end, and that the Indians
shall have the same opportunity that
the white men have.
The job of Indian commissioner, with
him is business proposition. He an
swered an altruistic call when he took
the proposition, for he had retired from
active business, and had planned to set
tie down in Texas, the state he has lived
in ever since he left Iowa after bril-
liant career as United States attorney.
Secretary Lane let it be known that
he wanted a man of ability, not job
seeker a man of red-blood and purpose,
not weakling. He heard of Sells
and his fight against pension grafters
in the middle west, and he found that
Sells was indeed regular fighting man
with ability, altruism, enthusiasm. And
that's how today, Secretary Lane has
man on the JOB of Indian Affairs
fourteen hours day, and that g why
a new era is dawning in Oklahoma and
the other Indion states.
To Remove Buildings.
AS soon as congress is allowed to
stop working on tariff and currency
and can devote little time to govern
ing Washington (Which is one of its
jobs) the National capitol is to be rid
of the block of ancient and ramshackle
buildings which abut the capitol ground
at the northwest corner. The famous
peace monument, in the opinion Of nu-
merous congressman should no longer be
compelled to have as near neiphbOr,
one of the dirtiest and ugliest spots in
Washington.
Although congress has taken over
practically every parcel of surrounding
property with the exception of this
frowsy, out-at-heals block of buildings,
which include numerous saloons, stpffy
two-story shops, fruit stands, and, in
the center, innumerable Italian rooming
houses. This block, bounded by Penn.
sylvania avenue and B street, First and
Second streets, contains more garlicy
and other malodorous odors than any
other six blocks in Washington. Con.
gressmen are wont to walk past it on
their way to the capitol. It's directly
"under their noses" and, not being
pleasant to the legislature elfaetory
senses, the place must be cleaned up
if congress ever gets time.

Ruling over the affairs of fast

worth of the richest grazing, oil, min.
eral land of the west, Sells has de-
termined that the Indians shall no long

The heartless grasping of "attorn-
eys" and guardians administering
the estates of Indian children called
most strikingly to Sells attention the
need of reform, and quick one. While
white children's estates are ordinally
settled at a cost of only three per
cent, the average price on Indian child
ren's estates has been 20 per cent.
These children are the richest children

are $4,000; and frequently this entire
amount has been grated by the un.

POstmasters Resign

A Washington dispatch says
that because of the extension of
the classified civil service to in
clude fourth class postmasters
and the announcement that post
masters of that class will have
to take the competitive exam
ination, the department is re-
ceiving designations at the rate
Of twenty a day. About 1000
have resigned since the order
went into effect.
The designations are practically
all from offices where the post
masters salary is nominal and
where the Office is run more for
the benefit of the community
than for what is being made out
of it. In these cases it will be
hard for the department to fill
vacancies and although the pres
ent officials have resigned they
will be forced to discharge the
duties of the Office until such
time as their successors are ap-
pointed and qualify.

FIRST LAND TO Be RE-
CLASSIFIED AND APPRAISED

On November /, 1910, Gregoire
Bassette made settlement on a
tract of land in 1919. which was
at that time classified as timber
land. His homestead application
was suspended pending investi-
cation and last Monday word
was received in the Missoula
land Office that the land had
been re-classified and appraised
and was now subject to entry.
This is the first instance where
an application for reclasslfica-
ton has been favorably acted
upon, and it lends encourage
ment to the belief that much of
the land heretofore classified as
timber land will eventually be
re-classified and made available
for homestead entry.
