LOGGING COMPANY
OPPOSES NEW ROAD
Declares County Has No Right to
Property Which Is Claimed by
Commissioners

MONTESANO, March 1.-THE first
indication of fight to prevent Che
halls county from building county
road over the old highway from
Humptulips to Lake Quiniault, be-
came evident when the Poison Log
ging company filed papers asking ar
injunction to prevent the county COM
missioners from letting the contract
for 60-foot roadway through and
across a portion of section 4, in 20
10, and section 35, 21-10. The ques-
ton as to ownership of the road will
now be threshed out in the courts.
The county commissioners contend
that 60foOt right of way was grant
ed for a state road before the land
now owned by the Poison company
years this road has been utilized as
u trail and the commissioners say
this also gives the county title. Tho
logging firm desires the state right
of way for logging purposes and is
taking the matter into the court to
prevent road being built. Argu-
ment for the restraining order was
made Yesterday in the Superior court
and decision will be rendered be-
fore the next meeting of the county
commissioners.

Claim HELD to Be Just
Nearly three years ago a special
agent of the government made a full
investigation of the claim of the Cow.
litz Indians. 1t is matter of early
territorial history in Washington that
during the Indian wars the Cowlitz
tribe was one which always stood by
the whites in their troubles. This spe-
ciel agent is said to have filed with
the government report in effect
that the claim of the Cowltz Indians
was just and that they had never
had any kind Of settlement with the
federal government. Though they
were originally owners Of this whole
section of Washington in an easterly
and westerly direction from Mount
Tacoma, to the west as far as Cath
lamet, down the Toutle to the Cowlitz
thence down the Cowlitz to
the Columbia when the whites
came they appropriated the whole
country and the Indians were never
even accorded so much as a reserva-
ton.
At a meeting held in Chehalis last
June by the Cowltz Indians the gen

perhaps a thousand people in the
Northwest who are entitled to be con

settlement with the tribe. OF the ori-

are $50 full bloods living, all being
quite aged. The venerable chieftan
of the tribe, Alvin Stockum, died
December 1, last, at his home at To-

He was 107 years of age.

The Cowlitz Indians are justly
proud of their race and it's history.
Indian war veterans Of this section
who are in a position to know, speak
of them in the highest terms of praise.
Naturally the Cowlitz people feel that

generously with other Indians in the
way of money and land allotments

PUTS ONE OVER ON
ILLINOIS SENATOR
ROOT OF NEW YORK CUTS FROM
HIS SPEECH ITS POINT OF
ATTACK.
rBY e. H. HANSON.1

Washington, D. c., Sept. S.-Senator-
ial courtesy has gotten on the nerves
of the most courteous senator of them
all-none other than j. Hamilton
Lewis OF Illinois.
As result Of the rule Of the senate
which permits senator's to edit their
speeches after making them on the
floor of the senate Senator Lewis
awoke on Wednesday morning to find
that Senator Root of New York had
made him look ridiculous In the con-
gressional record when on the after.
noon before he had humbled and
Inundated Root before the senate and
crowded galleries.
Senator Root arose on Tusday to at
tark the income tax section Of the tariff
bill. During the course Of his remarks
he referred to the people Of New York
as my people," Taking up this phrase,
Senator Lewis, who has come to be
recognized as one Of the most skill
full and deadly debaters in the senate,
asked him who my people" were, and
using those two words as his theme,
ridiculed Root and all that is Rootism
in one of the best bits of the tariff de-
bate.
Edits His Speech.
Now there Is rule Of the senate
which permits senator's to edit their
speeches after they deliver them and
which permits senators to prevent any
other senator from looking over their
speeches as taken by the stenog-
raphers until they appear in final form
in the congressional record.
Senator Root, taking advantage Of
this rule, struck out the words my
people and inserted my constitu.
ents." AS result, In reading the two
speeches, as they appeared In the
record, Senator Lewis appears to have
gone of half cooked and to have been
seeking for any little excuse to attack
the New Yorker.
Unless Senator Root revises his
speech 80 that the words appear as he
uttered them, Senator Lewis threatens
to bring the matter before the senate
on point of personal privilege and to
seek the adoption Of a rule which pre-
vents anything more than the correc-
ton Of grammatical errors which may
creep into speeches delivered of hand
on the floor of the senate.
All Of which brings to mind that
half that Is delivered on the floors OF
both houses never appears as delivered
and more than half which appears in
the record Is merely inserted and
never spoken.
