TRIBE LEADS PECULIAR LIFE
uriankhai at Ono Time Dwelied In 81,
IBERIA. but Have Been Driven 70
China by Russians.

The Uriankhai are poor, semino
madic tribe. who have been driven into
the recesses Of one of the most diff
cult and remote regions Of Asia by
stronger advancing hordes Of TARTAR
and Siberian Russians. They used t.
dwell in better lands on the Siberian
side. but now they are all within the
Chinese empire In the peculiar noun
tain-locked basin around the sources
of the Yenisei.
The existence Of these people ir
this region Is peculiar. says the Wide
World Magazine. Long. long ago there
there was a race of people who in
habited the banks of the Yenisei In 81
IBERIA, who titled the soil and worked
metals. They made stone implements
until they learned how to make bronze
ones, and later they attained to the
knowledge Of iron. They covered the
land with gigantic gravelmounds, the
burialplaces Of their chiefs: they drew
pictures ON the rocks, and wrote theil
strange picture language. thereby CIV
ing US q clew to their identity and
helping us to know something about
them.
Hordes Of men from the south. how
ever, drove them out Of this good land
and they retreated to the far north
where they still exist. They live there
In a bleak land of tundra, within thu
Arctic circle and are called aamoysda
primitive people who have returned
almost to the status Of the stone aga.
But q portion Of the tribe remained
for time. and gradually retreated fas.

find the remnant IN the remote cor.

Honest Opinion OF

If you have friend an acquaintance who be-
leves that the saloon is good thing for city or
village, hand him this opinion of these liquor repre-
sentatives to read 1t raises interesting queries
For instance: If the saloon is not fit place for
the saloonkeepers boy to look into, how can it be
decent place for anybody's boy to be in?
If the people come to know the true inwardness
of the saloon, would they become disguised with it?
Is this the reason that the ordinance in the
city of Chicago and many other Illinois cities is VIC
lated by every saloonkeeper in these cities?
First J. Hook, brewer of Ypsilant,
representing in Legislative matters the state
brewing interests outside of the city of De-
trot stated that he against such bill
because it would expose to public view the
men drinking in the saloons, and that he was
not in favor of subjecting the women and
children to such sight as they passed up
and down the street. He cited the committee
to the condition in Battle Creek where by
city ordinance are allowed and
prophesied that Calhoun county would vote
dry this spring because the citizens of Battle
Greek had become disguised with the expos
ed saloon.

dealers organization, stated that his views
were in accord with those of Mr.. Hook as re-
CARDS the BILL and cited as an illustration of
the detrimental effect such a law would have

COMMISSION MEN ARE
IGNORING NEW LAW
Request Is Made BY Railroad Commis.
sion That Evidence Be Laid Before
Grand Jury.

The state railroad commission has
requested Walter Evans, district attor.
ney Of Portland, to prepare and lay be-
fore the grand jury evidence to show
that the commission merchants of Port
land have failed to observe the law
which was recently passed by the last
legislature which defines the business
of a commission merchant and gives
the railroad commission the power to
regulate their business.
According to the law a commission
merchant must have license to ship
and sell produce on account of shipper
consigner. Thus far the commission
merchants of Portland have failed to
obtain such licenses.
There is petition afloat, headed by
Austin Y, Buxton, Of Forest Grove,
which comend the law and states that
such a law will compel good treatment
for the growers.
