Indian Land Sold.

LEWISTON.-Tues 1900 acres
of Indian lands on the Nez Perez
reservation were sold to the highest
bidders The appraised value of the
$50 tracts is over $165,0OO. The land
includes some of the finest grain land
in this section, and spirited bidding
took place.
The agency at Fort Lapwai has
been informed that on March "a
President Wilson signed an order eX-
tending the trust period on Nez Perez
Indian allotments for 10 years in the
case of Indians who have not been
adjudged competent to manage their
own affairs. The original trust term
will expire this summer, after 20
years of operation, during which all
Indians have been wards of the gov
eminent.
AS many Of the leading Indians
were found qualified to take care OF
their property during the investiga.
ton conducted by the federal bureau
last winter, these will be issued pat
ents to their lands, which will then
become subject to taxation. This will
mean much to the development OF
the counties in which the lands are
located.

New Highway Is Urged.

WASHINGTON. = Representative
Burton l.. French of Idaho is urg-
ing the bureau of public roads de-
partment of agriculture to renewed
activity on the construction of the
Clearwater highway.
1t is proposed to construct a high
way from Greer to Bungalow-this
project being only portion of the
larger plan to complete the highway
over the summit of the Bitter Root
mountains connecting with the Cedar
creek project of Montana
About year ago approval was
given by the department to the use
of $130,000 of federal money on the
road from Greer to Bungalow The
reduction of federal funds and the
constantly increasing cost of doing
work do not permit definite and
prompt realization Of all plans. but
Mr.. French is assured by the depart
ment of agriculture that the above
project will be completed this year
The estimated cost is greatly in eX
cess of that of last year, and it is
now believed that an expenditure or
$780, 900 will be required to complete
the project. OF this, approximately
100000 will be paid by tho fedora
government.

HUMAN SLAUGHTER
HOUSE WAS AFL0AT
HAD BODIES OF ELEVEN NOTED
RUSSIANS IN CABIN
OF YACHT.
THEIR DEATH IS A MYSTERY
Victims Refugees, Driven From
Odessa by BoIsheviki-lnvesti-
cations Being Made by
Many Russians.

BUCHAREST-The discovery on
the yacht Ostara, stranded at Sulina,
on the Danube, of the dead bodies of
II noted Russian men and women
each shot through the head, and not
a living person on board, has present
ed to the Rumanian authorities one
of the most mysterious tragedies of
bolshevism in the Black sea. The
bodies have been identified as those
Of members of the noted Russian
families of Faizfein and Skadowski
The discovery was made by SOL
diers, who found the cabin half
filled with water and the bodies
floating around. On board the yacht
were jewels and 100000 rubles in
gold and paper
Cause Of eDath Mystery.
The elder Falzfein still grasped a
pistol in his hand when his body was
found and whether the members of
the party committed suicide or were
murdered remains unanswered.
An investigation is being made by
the Rumanians, aided by Russian
friends of the two families. All
that is known is that the two families
fled from their estates to Odessa,
and when the bolsheviki arrived there
in February, put their belongings on
board the yacht, which was then
towed by a Russian steamer bound
for Constanza. The tow lines broke
several times, owing to severe storms,
and finally the steamer lost the yacht
altogether and proceeded to Con
stanza.
Soldiers Prevented Rescue.
1t is believed, as a result of the
investigation so far made, that after
the yacht lost it's tow it drifted at
the mercy of the storm and the
refugees, six men and five women
became exhausted from the cold
waves breaking over the boat and
lack of food Unable to manage the
yacht, the party made a despairinf
effort to put her ashore on the desc
late beach near Sulina. There the.
succeeded in launching small boats
but Rumanian guards, under stric
orders to permit no landing through
fear of the bolsheviki, ordered then
to return to the ship. 1t appears tina
some coast fishermen offered a res
cue when the vessel began settling
owing to the consequent pounding o
the heavy seas, but soldiers pre-
vented.

suffer the political penalty. Both
