this way send an enormous amount OF
copy over the wires in a short time.
They, like the correspondents, were
gathered from all sections of the
country because of especial ability for
certain work. For example, the en-
tire force that handled the service to
newspapers supplied by the Western
Newspaper Union at Chicago was
brought to st. Louis to do the same
work here because the men were ia
miliar with the methods of handling
it in the shortest possible time.
At the convention halls large forces
of operators were on duty in order to
handle the running stories Of the con-
vention, and the stories of happenings
that were of particular interest in GER
tain sections. OF the Western Union
force these men were in charge of S. A.
Leitch, who is known as the conven-
ton editor and who has handled this
work through many big gatherings of
a similar character.
Both telegraph companies took to
the convention cities large numbers
of their division officials, inspectors,
commercial agents, supervisors, and
the like, and to each was given the
problem of seeing that the news to
his part of the country was rushed
out in the shortest possible time.
And all of this is but an indication
Of the demand upon the part of the
public for news of these great politi-
cal gatherings, and shows the public
interest in the political situation of
this year.

Confidence.

Why does this country tend always
to belittle It's wealth, it's works, its
men and its power to meet calamity?
1t does, and yet we are thought to be
a people unembarrassed by modesty.
Yankee boastfulness is proverb in
the world. but no Yankee ever told
quite oil the truth. He never dared,
and, besides, he could not make him.
self believe the whole length and depth
and breadth of 1t. Distrusting their
own Judgment, the American people
lack confidence in their great estate.
Their temperament is rich in daring,
faith and optimism, but poor In conf
dence, which is a quality that comes
with time. A young people perhaps
should not have it. 1t is not good to
have everything.-NewY York Times.

The general impression seems to be
that ball players have outlived their
usefulness when they pass the age
of thirty. This, of course, is disproved
by the baseball Hans Wagner has been
playing for the Pirates this year and
for the past IL years.
Frank Schultz of the Cubs also de-
MES that players ability begins to
deteriorate when he passes the age
Of thirty, and is proving it by the game
he has been playing this year. There
are others of the same opinion. Gavvy
Cravath of the Phillies says man
should play satisfactorily until he is
forty, If he takes care of himself.
Last season and the year before
Schultz did not play the brand of ball
Cub fans liked to see. He appeared
more Indifferent than ever, and the
impression circulated that he was slid
ing, writes Oscar G. Reichow in Chi
cago Daily News. 1t was doubtful
whether he would be one of the regu-
lars on Manager Tinker's team.
The fans, when they formed this
opinion, did not know that Schultz
was dissatisfied with his managers
and the environment and that he did
not care a great deal whether school
kept or not. Still, he played as well
as the average outfielder and closed
the season of 1915 with IL homeruns
to his credit.
Manager Tinker was somewhat dis
turbed over Schultz when President
Weeghman took over the Cubs and
made inquiries In various quarters to
learn whether the veteran outfielder
still retained any of his skill or abil-
ity to hit Tinker had his doubts and
was inclined to favor the younger play
ers. Besides he was not certain wheth-
er Frank would have the proper spirit
to make a winning combination. At

INDIANS CLAIM
|, $4,000 ACRES
Members of Pacific Coast Tribes
Base Contention on Treaty
Signed in 1855.
INCLUDES THRIVING CITIES
Investigation Shows Treaty Never
Was Ratified, and Governments
Copy of the Document Has
Not Yet Been Found.

Mansfield, Ore.-George WATSON, a de-
scendant of a former chief of the
Coos Bay Indians, and Arthur p Fen
ton, former examiner of inheritance
for the Indian service, will lay before
the president and congress a claim to
100000 acres of land embraced in a
strip along this section of the coast,
40 by 20 miles in extent and includ-
ing a number of tiourishing cities
and industries.
This land the Coos Bay, Lower
Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians claim
as their own by original right of pos
session and by treaty made with Su-
perintendent of Indian Affairs for the
Territory Of Oregon, Joel Palmer, at
Empire, in the year 1855.
Witnesses Still Living.
There are number of Indians alive
who were present when the treaty
was signed at a big conclave follow
ing the Rogue River Indian war and
disturbances on the Coquille river.
Those who remember the great gath
ering of Indians and the signing of
the treaty were children of from eight
to fourteen years, and their knowl-
edge of the conditions of the treaty
is only that which was talked about
by the firesides among their elders
at that time.
There we're present representing
the several Indian tribes an Empire
when the treaty of peace was signed
and the agreements concluded and
given into the hands of Superintend-
ent Palmer, Chief Taylor of the Low
er Coos Bay tribe; Chief Jim Tyee
and Chief Jack Rogers of the other
Coos Bay tribes; Chiefs Supina, Joe
Scott and UmpQua Dick of the Lower
Umpqua tribes.
The oldest Indian now living who
remembers the agreement and was In
Empire during the council is jeff Har-
ney, now resident on the Siuslaw riv-
er. He tells many interesting things
about the gathering and says that
Doctor Drew, an Indian agent, was
also a participant in the meeting.
Senator Lane and Representative
Hawley of Oregon already have made
research in the affair and found
letter from President Buchanan ad-
dressed to congress when submitting
the treaty to that body for ratification
in 1857, two years after it's being
signed. Senator Lane is reported
also to have in his possession true
copy of the treaty as preserved in
some history written shortly after the
Empire gathering.
1t has been established that the
treaty was never ratified, nor has the
governments, copy, been found as yet,
but the Indians consider the treaty
was made in good faith and therefore
feel the government should keep faith
with them.
The exact demands which the rep
resentatives of the Indians expect to
make upon the government have not
been outlined, but it was learned they
hold themselves entitled to between
S6,000,000 and $10,000,000.

Manager Donovan of the New Yorks
is an advocate of clean sport. AS a

gentlemanly conduct. The New Yorks,

There is a new rule in force In

players from throwing an extra ball
around between innings, but the play

it. The pitcher hands his teammates

lures and demonstrations are only two
of the reasons why Farmers Week has

expected that the attendance this year
will be larger than ever before. as it
is probable that the program which this
year is Il most attractive one will be
missed by none who have attended
Farmers Week in previous years and
will be heard by many who have not
done SO.
The list of lectures includes more
than 70 persons. teachers, members Of
the Experiment Station staff. repre-
sentatives of the Federal and State
Departments of Agriculture, members
and officers of various associations. and
successful farmers and stockholders
throughout Maine. All lectures will be
held in Winslow hall. save as specified.
The following associations will meet
during the week. Maine Federation of
