Sam Johnson once compiled die

were more humorous than correct,
but he had nothing on" few of the
eighth grade pupils who recently took
the county examinations. The exam
ming board runs across a real gem
every once in while. This morn
ing in correcting a paper on civil gov
ernment, one of the examiners found
this definition of arbitration" by q
boy student: arbitration is the by

running for office and you are vot-
ing and if he comes around and pays
YOU certain sum if you will vote for
him, this is arbitration" In physiol-

WEMIX is HEIR
TO SOME ESTATE

There is balm for Weulx. the Uma-
tilla squaw who was recently forced
to vacate her old home at Thorn Hol-
low so as to leave the city in possess
sion of the spring located there The
balm is in the form of news which
means she is entitled to $50 acres of
soldiers scrip, worth approximately
SIS per acre, and a half interest in
the sum of $164.25 due the heirs Of
Captain Thomas Mckay
In letter to Major Lee Moorhouse
a pension attorney of Washington, W.
d. Gardner, asks for information con-
corning the heirs Of Captain Thomas
Mckay who served in the Cayuse war
of 1S4S He states that the above
named sum of money is due Captain
Mckay for his services in the Cayuse
war and will go to his heirs if they
can be found Also tnat $50 acres of
bounty land is due to each son or
daughter of Captain Mckay that was
under Is years Of age on March 3,
1855.
In reply. Major Moorhouse has in
formed the lawyer as to the names
I of the heirs of Captain Mckay and
their whereabouts. Wenix is the only
direct descendant, she being a
daughter by Captain McKays second
wife. She was two years old in 1855
and therefore is entitled to the boun-
ty land. Donald Mckay, her full
brother, is dead.
Other descendants of the old In
dian scout are the children of DR.. w.
c. Mckay. who was a son of the cap
tain by his first wife, Chinook.
The living children of DR.. Mckay are
Thomas and Leila Mckay of Portland
and James Mckay of Pendleton. Two
grandchildren, Kenneth and Leila
Roper, live in Washington.
Inasmuch as Wenix is the only di-
rect descendant Of Captain Mckay, it
is Major Moorhouse's opinion that she
will be entitled to one-half the mon
! ey due from the government and that
she will obtain the 100 acres Of

LOGICAL REMEDY
FOR MONEY EVIL
Untermeyer Says New Bill Would Take
Power Away From the Nor
gan Banks.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Pronoun
cling the Owen-Glass bill the logical
remedy for the money evil, Samuel
Untermeyer arch enemy of the Nor
gan banking group told the senate
currency committee that ten banks in
the Morgan-Baker group in New York
control the reserve deposits of Is,
483 banks or sixty per cent Of the to.
tai throughout the United States.
The banks OF this country, he said
should welcome this measure as a
protection to which they may fly from
the domination exercised by this new
York group.
Untermeyer pointed to the fact that
almost all bank deposits sent to New
York are loaned out through these Wall
street houses on call because Wall
street is the one liquid money mar.
ket. The administration bill he said
would by its rediscount plan make
liquid all commercial paper This
would free the individual banks from
Wall street control and leave the Nor
gan group to operate solely on their
own money. Untermeyer reiterated
the finding Of the Pujo committee that
the money trust exercises a malign
influence through its veto upon fin
ancing Of any great project that may
compete with it's own Industrial inter
ests.

cial clubs throughout the west. Gov
ernor John H. Morehead Of Nebraska,
an ardent good roads enthusiast, to-

all governors.
The aim of the Lincoln Memorial
Association is highway, as smooth

any highway constructed to stretch
from New York City to San Francisco.
That portion OF the proposed highway
between Chicago and Salt Lake City,
Utah, will be the immediate concern
of the conference which opened today.
1t will not be necessary to stake out
new route between Chicago and Salt
Lake City. according to today's speak
ers. Neither will 1t be necessary to
construct complete new roadbed.
The plan under consideration, and
which 1t was thought would be unani.
mously adopted, will be to utilize
existing overland routes after repair.
Ing them and Joining them into one
highway that would be the longest III
the world. Four pioneer trails, used
by "freighters" before the days OF
railways, will form, the basis of the
western half OF the proposed highway.
These are: The Midland trail from
Denver to Salt Lake City, 535 miles;
