WILL CLOSE
FOR REPAIRS
StearnS Lumber Co. Mill Is
To Shut Down
For Repairs October Idiot Pond To
Be Put in Shape.

We learn the Stearns Lumber Company
will close down their mill October | for re-
pairs for six weeks and at which time the
hot pond will be repaired material for
which is now being got in readiness. Cred
it is due the company for the manner in
which they have operated their mill the
past season in the face of the present condi-
tion of the lumber market which at present
is in bad condition. Each year a shut
down has occurred for the purpose of re
pairing, etc. but during this period every
man that cares to work has had employ
ment.
The present war it is said has had lot
to do with tie present condition of the
lumber market. At present the output of
the mill runs heavy TO hemlock as they are
cutting the logs that have been peeled for
hemlock bark. At the starting of the mill
right after repairs are made it is predicted
the COMPANY will be cutting in tribal tim
Der which will be hailed with delight by
our citizens as it means much to them.

Cy's offerings and rang up two scores by
mixing two hits, with Mellen's two errors
and a stole base.
During this session one of Dahlgren's S
vicious inshoots carcn,ed off Ed Dennis $
bat and hit him nasty walop on the mouth.
Mcbride took his place at 2nd. LaPointe

The Braves could do nothing again nn-
till the 3rd. when hit, stolen base and
an error netted them another run. In the
5th. they gathered three more, walk, a
hit batsman, pair Of two baggers and a
stolen base doing the work. In the 9Th
Basner first up for the Braves drew base,
hit after. Mcbride fbuled out to the catcher
he was doubled up at Isl. when onln
lined to Keenan, in left field. After this
inning Dahlgren retired and Doc Stanley
graced the mound for the 7th. but this made
no difference to the lusty Braves, as they
got their last two runs off Doc by bunch
ng three hits, one for two bases and a
feIders choice.
Mellen scored one run in the 4th. and two
in the 9th, 9TH and 9th They hit the ball
fairly hard, but tight fielding and sureshot
pegs bv our infelders held them down. Our
bows played good base ball in both games,
the all round playing of Newagon being a
feature.
In the second tilt James was chosen to
Ditch for the Braves against Stanley, but
not having his arm warmed up, he got HIM
self in trouble right away by allowing three
hits lone for extra base) which with local
error was good for three runs. With this
handicap against the locals Grant did re-

Shape the rest of the game. which was
seven inning affair. They managed te
sd,leeze over another run ir. their half OF tht
9th.
The Braves hung up their first tally il
the 3rd. then in the 5th. they got afte
Stanley right, by punching out four hare
safetys two of which were good for extra
sacks. these mixed with hit batsf1an ane
nelders choice netted them four run
which was enough to capture both games
5-4. Following is-the score.

each individual the number of acres he is
entitled too and if more than one is is the
family the land will be together as much as

CAPTURES WHITE
FISHERMEN
Several Boat Loads of Ash
land Fishermen
csptared Last Sunday en- the Kaka,
4 g0n Sl0ustls.

Last Sunday the Indian Police made a
raid on the fish violators on the Kakagon
sloughs and captured large number, con-
hscating the fish. tackle. etc. Complaint
had been. made that white people from
Ashland were fishing in these sloughs and
in direct violation of the treaty laws in re-
gard to fishing within the boundaries of the
reservation.
In a lengthy editorial recently the Ash
land Press touched on this matter and at
tempted to claim that the Indian had no
more right than whteman to fish and
hunt on the reservation and were game vio-
lators and further that the treaty laws should
be annulied, or to that effect, and asked,
"when is an Indian not an Indian An
Indian IS, and always will be, just 50 with
his treaty laws, they are-in force now and
always will be as the above capture SHOWS
and an Indian whether allotted or other
wise still retains his rights to his hunting
and fishing privileges and has the full pro-
lection of the government and no state
game warden has the right to molest him.
The people captured last Sunday were re-
leased under the penalty of not again violat-
ing the law in this respect. 1t will be re-
membered State Game Warden Buchanan
several years ago arrested some Indians for
fishing the Kakagon on the reservation
and the matter was settled in favor Of the
Indian, S. w. Campbell, who was agent
at the time, had the matter pushed to the
above decision. AS a consequence OF this
interference on the part of the warden the
Indians in council asked for the enforce
ment of their treaty in the matter and the
white man was thus deprived of the Indians
generosity as previous to that existed.

PULLS The TOOTH
INSTEAD OF BOY
HOW PATROLMAN HIGHT ENDED
DISTURBANCE AT BURNS
SPRINGS.

1t is much better, assuredly more
humane, at least less expensive and
really more effective to pull a tooth
than it is ito pull boy That any
way is what Patrolman Whit Hight,
of the local police department thinks,
and thinking so he acted accordingly
with the most agreeable results It
happened this way. At about zen
o'clock last night the popular officer
received hurry call from indignant
neighbors to come to Burns Spring
Mr.. Hight lost no time and when he
arrived at the scene was informed
that a fourteen year old boy of husky
hue was making the night so hideous,
rending the ambient air so outrage
ously and otherwise disporting him
self so boisterously that Morpheus
had fled from the neighborhood and
stood not upon the order of his gong.
In fine the boy in question was ris-
ing so much racket that tired ma
lures sweet restorer" refused abso-
lutely to restore The alenrt policeman
made a speedy examination and dis
covered at once that a tooth was the
cause of all the noise and alarm and
disturbance. There was nothing to 40
but get rid of the offending member.
No tooth forcips we're in sight, but
nothing daunted the minion OF The
law discovered a pair Of wire pinch
ers and without further ado ne pull
ed the TOOTH and 10 quiet and peace
and contentment one more descended
upon the neighborhood Of Burns
Springs and the sorely disturbed IL
habitants thereof once again wooed
Morpheus with success.
