Quinault Indians Richest Tribe

Chief Billy Mason of the Quinault
tribe of Indians, whose reservation is
in western Washington. is on his way
home after having spent more than
two months in the national capital in
the interests of his people. Chief
Billy" who is at the Manx, says that
his tribe is In the richest timber coun-
try in the United States. He said.
"The reservation selected by the tribe
is in the heart of the northwestern
timber country, and the Quinault river,
in which there is an abundance of
salmon, runs through the reservation.
In addition to these sources of wealth,
of oil has been found. Wells are now
being sunk at the Hob river, just north
of Grays Harbor, and that whole coun-
try Is aflame with excitement
That is why I am going back home
now, instead of spending a few months
longer In the east, as 1 originally
planned. I went to Washington in the
hope of getting permission for each
Indian to cut and sell the logs on two
acres of each individuals land
Some oil men have made a PROPOSE
tion to us to lease the unallotted por-
tion of our reservation. Some people
believe this is the Standard Oil COM
pany. 1t has been decided to allot this
land to three Washington tribes which
have no holdings. they never having
made treaties with the United States.
I hope my Indian brothers will gain
some benefit from the unallotted land,
and / hope further that they will show
good Judgment in making peace
treaties with the federal government
"The Quinault tribe OF Indians is
credited with being among the most in
telligent and Industrious of the Amer
lean Indians. During the time of the
fearful Indian wars In the early set
tlement days of the Oregon territory
the Quinault tribe was always at peace
with the settlers and the United States
government. We have no complaint to
make against the government, and all

Concentration Means Success

A congress of women composed OF delegates
from states that have extended the duties and
privileges of suffrage to women will assemble at the
national capital on August Is.
The delegates to this congress will represent
100000 women voters The avowed purpose Of
the assembage is to formulate plans for campaign
for the extension OF suffrage to women in every
state in the union
If the deliberations of this congress be directed
and dominated by cool heads it can not fail to
result in tremendous advantage to the suffrage
cause.
If the convention shall decide to center its efforts
the federal congress with the hope of securing
general extension of suffrage to women through
congressional enactment, little will be accomplished
IT. on the other hand, the congress will formulate
definite working plan for cooperative action in
those states where there is greatest promise OF
immediate success, it will most advantage the cause
of universal suffrage for women.
The advocates of women's suffrage will reach
the desired goal quicker if they refrain from flock
shooting The south is not ready for woman
suffrage 1t will not be made ready by trying to
force general suffrage measure through congress.
Suffrage like the tariff is still local question.
It's advocates have found their work difficult enough
when they attacked it in local tasks. Every state
they win makes the winning of the next easier.
There is probably not state north of the Mason
and Dixie line in which suffrage will not be given
the women, instantly it is made apparent that it is
demanded by respectable minority of the women
of that state
The women not the men, in official place are
the stumbling blocks in the path of the suffrage
generals If they will devote their efforts for the
next two years to arousng the interest of women
in half dozen northern states, where do
not vote they will capture those states when their
legislatures meet again.
Like effort in the ensuing two year period will
give them majority of all the states in the union
and inevitably practical political interest
in the solid south that will bring those states into
the fold
Women north and SOUTH get what they want
when they make it clear that they really want it.

MI arms New Electric Line

IH Marin county not fail to advantage
materially from the construction Of the San
Rafael San Anselmo and Fairfax electric line, which
seems assured
The new line will not only connect San Rafael,
San Ansemo and Fairfax, but it will provide each
OF the towns with local streetcar service.
The opening of the line will materially enhance
the value of the attractions of Marin county and
inevitably add thousands of dollars annually to the
totals spent by sghtseers and holiday visitors from
outside the county.
One of the most satisfactory features of the
Improvement is to be found in the financing of the
road. The company is capitalized at 100000,
divided in 1000 shares Half the stock has been
subscribed by 1873 property holders and business
men in the territory to be served by the road
That means that all the communities served by
the road will have an interest in its success quite
apart from their interest in securing something in
the way of transportation facilities
Undoubtedly the road will be good thing
for Marin county and for the business men and
property owners whose faith in their communities
has made it possible

HQaSe=BaaaaaaaaaaaWl!'

When in the name of common sense did
San Francisco change its to Jay
vile? asked visitor from Podunk, when he heard
the noise the street which goes by the above
name and sounds like belyache.
Time was when all sorts of wierd noises were
tolerated the streets everywhere, and people
went insane in flocks and never knew what
touched them. Now people know better.
No longer does any city allow the fish peddler
to shatter the air in pieces with his shouts about
herring and smelt
The maddening shrieks Of shrill tongued
venders of strawberries and the bladder mouthed
bellowngs OF banana men are not tolerated on city
streets
Noise in city streets is coming rapidly to be
recognized as one of the very greatest evils of
city life. Most of up to date municipalities
have put stop to steam whistles and church
bells because they have been found to affect the
sick and the weak very unfavorably.
In Chicago committee OF the city council has
come to the conclusion that Chicago is the noisest
city in the world and that much must be done to
lessen the din, especially as local aliensts are
quoted as saying the noise is literally driving
Chicago insane.
The invention of the steel car and the terrific
noise it makes when it crosses other tracks at
street intersections is one of the worst evils
among city noises, but which it is probably at
present practically impossible even to minimize,
and every car in crossing makes constant tapping
on the nerves of the which are so close to the
brain and produce both nervous and mental strains
and tire
1t behooves modern cities, then, to watch
these noises and dc all they can to minimize them.
One form OF noise that easily be done away
with and that the board of supervisors can and
should see is stopped is that which is represented
by the leather lunged fellow with the megaphone
who yells up and down the streets his stomach
rending cry of "Base-baaaaawlF"

DECLINE AND FALL OF THE STEAK

We used to smile in a superioc way
when we read that the roast beef of
old England was raised on the cattle
ranges of Montana and Texas.
Also we used to smile when we found
a few years ago that the little Japa-
nese soldier fighting the Russians in
the trenches had no more substantial
diet than dried fish. with rice ball
or two to help out.
But now
The department of agriculture at
Washington has issued bulletin esti-
mating that there has been a decrease
of so per cent in six years in the NUM-
Der of beef cattle in the United States.
1T is evident" announces the depart
ment, that the country is facing an
era of short production of meat"
So 1t would be well to haul In the
proportions of our smile and think
deeply. 1t Is startling, but true, that
for the first time in American history
the exports of animals and animal
products last year fell below the i'm
ports in value. England has taken to
eating Argentine cattle and Australian
sheep.

number of beef cattle has been decreas-

New Parcels Post Rates

y Postmaster General Burleson has made much
amends for his extreme partisanship in some
directions by his broadening the parcels post regu-
lations far as he has just done and by declaring
his policy still further to extend them
The principal changes authorized, an increase
from II to 20 pounds in parcels weight, and the
reduction in rate i'll the first and second zones I'D
nearly $50 miles, to 5 cents for the first pound
and l cent for each additional pound or fraction.
are SO important to the, general public that they
amount almost to revolution in short distance
package transportation rates.
The greatest advantage offered is to the local
merchant who has elaborate system OF delivery.
When the small retail dealer and his customer both
find that anything weighing up to 20 pounds can
be ordered by telephone and delivered by mail the
facilities OF the postoficc likely to be taxed to
the limit
When it is generally known that the postoffce
will carry 20 pound package $50 miles for "a
cents there is also likely to be great increase in
the amount of farm products handled directly in
this way between producer and consumer.
Better even than the actual changes which are
