Yakima Indians
Il
Win Long Fight.

After a fight lasting over five
years the Indians of the Yakima
tribe, Washington, have gained
the right to fish for their winter
supply of salmon at the famous
Prosser Dam. Five years ago the
State of Washington prohibited
the Indians from fishing within
four hundred feet of the great
dam, the law placed a. great hard
ship on the tribe, which found
difficulty in catching enough
salmon for their needs. The differ
ence dates back many years. In;
the years when Washington was
still a Territory the Indians signed
a treaty whereby they were grant
ed the right to fish at the dam.
The Indians, therefore, claimed
that the State law passed five
years ago took from them their
just rights. After a bitter fight
against the law the Indians finally
arranged a ''pow-wow'' with
Washington senator's and members
of the State Fish and Game Com
mission. This conference was
held recently in the open near the
sight of the Prosser Dam. State
Senator Bishop Sound HIndian),
and abrother to Thomas G. Bis !
hop, Secretary and Treasurer of
the Society of American Indians.

Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
! raising funds to erect monument to
| Admiral Dewey, which he said was in
directly a tribute to the American peo-

the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:

more capable Of self government than
the natives Of Cuba, and am familiar

Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1915, and declared it was
definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated 1T Is as it has always
been the purpose Of the people of
the United States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as a stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filiplnos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore, it is the
solemn duty of the United States to
grant the promised independence.

Full Blood Indians
Rapidly Disappearing,

| According to recent Indian cen-
sus in Wisconsin the full blood
Indian is fast disappearing. Out
of 10000 Indians in the state but
26 per. cent are pure bloods, while
u per cent are half breeds, quarter
breeds, eighth breeds and so on
down until the PERCENTAGE is un'
determinable. The recent Indian
census figures are:> Full bloods
2,7O7; mixed bloods, 1912.
The mixed bloods are so thinned
out, as it we're, by intermarriage
with the whites that they are often
classified as Indians by the Indian
department and as whites by the
state census figures, hence the
difference in figures. :.
A striking instrnce of disappear
ance of racial types which is rapid,
ly changing the Indian race into
mixed red and white people is
seen in the Bad River reservation,
near Ashland. Out of 1888 In
dams on the reservation but forty
six are listed as full bloods, &C.
cording to the figures in the annual
report of the Commissioner of H.
dian Affairs for 1920. 1t is per-
baps partly due to this large adj
mixture Of white blood that has
caused the Indian department to|
turn all its efforts toward making
the Indian self-supporting. Tie
Northern Chippewas on Bad River
and other reservations lave not
received rations or other support
from the government for many
years, nevertheless the government
still holds their money and super.
vises it's expenditure. |

Science Destroys
An Indian Legend

''The spirits of the bears are
angry" That is what the Swampy'
Cree Indians of Shoai lake, Mani
toba, say wnen they hear the
Paquia hills growl in. their sub.
terranean caverns with noise like
thunder. White men say it is the
roar of natural gas deep in. the
earth, and prospectors are prepsr-
ing to search tie region for oil. ~~
Forty years ago the Swampys
Crees built their village on Sboal
lake. The hills growle1Iat them
then. It meant bad medicine, and
their hunters we're afraid to VEN.
ture into the haunted uplands.
Black Bear, the chief whose totem
was the bear had a dream one
night that cleared the mystery.
Beneath the hills the spirits of all
the bears that had died through,
all the ages were imprisoned. So
when the thunderous rumblings
doomed from the hills, the Indians
said, THE spirits of the bears are
angry"
Two years ago an educated In-|
dian from eastern Canada went to
Shoal lake to teach school. He
laughed at the tribal superstition
and hunted and fished frequently
among the hills. On one of his
expeditions be discovered a little
stream of oil trickling from a cliff.
He told of his find at Red Earth,
fur post of the Hudson's Bay
company that is disposing of its
rich farm lands in the prairie
provinces to settlers An oil ex.
pert was sent for. The manager
of the post and the oil man set out
in canoe on Man river, with the
Indian as guide. For miles the
Indian padded. Thenhe dropped
the paddle in the boat. :.
mo" he said firmly, Il WON'T
do it. You have promised me a
fortune, but you won't keep your
promises. If we find oil you will
stake your claims and grow rich.
But you will give me only a cigar
or, perhaps, a few dollars. That
will be enough, you think, for an
Indian. 1 will never guide =
white man to the OIL" - t#
The Pasquia hills have growled
more savagely than ever this
spring. To the white prospeetors
preparing to go on, she earth is
calling welcome to the boarded
wealth it has grown weary of hid
ing. But to the Indians the griz-
ely phantoms imprisoned beneath
The rock are snarling out q threat
against the proposed invasion of
tbeir sacred Businesses.
Stay away" they say to the
white men, THE spirits of the
bears are angry. " Il

SUBSCRIPTION: s1.5o Pen YEAR IN ADVANCE
Inheritance Department at
This Agency Completes
Its. Work.

We are informed that this month
will probably see all matters per
tanning to the determination of the
heirs in the thousands of estates
which has occupied the attention
Of an inheritance force here for
the past four year, finally cleaned
up, aud that department, so far as
White Earth reservation is con-
cerned, will be discontinued. We
understand there are a few cases
yet to be determined but that the
great bulk of them have been
cleared up and disposed of. Mr..
w. w. Shepard, who for the past
three or four months has been
working with Examiner of Inherit
ance }. III. Rahily, will leave the
latter part Of this month for Arr
szoha, where the inheritance work
will be rushed to completion on
the Arizona reservations. Mr..
j. III. Rahily, who has bad charge
of the inheritance work here for
the past four years, will 90 to
Leech Lake, where the matter of
inheritance and determination of
heirs will be rapidly rushed to
conclusion. The work in con.
nection with this department. has
been of most trying and intricate
nature and required much time
and patience on the part of those
who had the work in charge, and:
so far as we have been able to
learn the many cases were settled
70 the satisfaction of all concerned.
The rushing of this work to
completion on the Minnesota
Chippewa reservations is a good
indication that the Indian Bureau
is DESTROYS of bringing Minnesota
Chippewa matters to a close as
soon as possible, as very little
could be done in this regard until
these cases involving Inheritance
were finally settled. The activity
which has been apparent in this
department during the past few
months also indicates that the
Department of Indian Affairs IN.

sioper Hon. Charles H. Burke and
Assistant Commissioner E. B. Mer-I

In the administration of Indian
affairs in general, and leads US to
express the opinion that the In
dams throughout the United States
will see a vast difference in the
management of their affairs during

Want Dual Mediation
on Shantung Puzzle

Washington. Dec. 29-(By A. p. y
Mediation by Secretary Hughes and
Arthur j. Balfour was suggested to-
day as the only feasible way of set
Ting the Shantung question which
has entered the stage of deadlock
through the intimation of Japanese
representatives that Japan has gone
as far as she can in the way of con-
ccssions.
The direct conversations between
the Japanese and Chinese delegates
were broken off because all efforts to
agree on the major point-the man
ner of restoration of the Shantung
Way-had proved futile Appar-
entity neither party sees it's way clear
to ask for resumption of the sus-
pended conversations, while both are
putting forth the strength of public
opinion in their home lands as logiti-
mate justification for the impossible
lty of further compromise.
Under these circumstances. It was
suggested today by persons connect
ed with the negotiations that the
only hope of a speedy solution of the
Shantung problem lay in the friendly
offices of neutral states, whereby a
modus vivendi of a nature to safe
guard the prestige of both Chinese
and japanese could be worked out.

Not to Move Kennebec
Club Building at Bath

Bath, Dec. 29-It has been decided
to postpone all attempts to move the
kennebec Yacht club building from
it's present site to that of the d. A
Bishop Trading company at the
south end, until spring. Z. a. Giles
of Boothbay Harbor, who was in
charge Of the proposed moving, has
been delayed in his work until this
week, when he declared that. with so
much drift ice running in the river
it would be dangerous to effect the
moving of the big structure until af-
ter the winter is over. Mr.. Bishop,
who purchased the building from
Hon. Edward w. Hyde in the early
fall, asserts that the building will be
moved and that the several unsuc-
cessful attempts that have been
made during the past few months
have resulted in giving him many
tips and inside information that will
be valuable when the actual work is
begun after the ice goes out.

Auburn Dentist Shows
True Christmas Spirit

1t isn't often that people who have
an opportunity to get paid by the
State for some services which they
have rendered that they allow that
opportunity to pass. but recently one
of the agents OF the State Board of
Children's Guardians issued an order
to an Androsco~gin county dentist
for some dental work 70 be done for
one of the children who are wards
OF the State. When no bill was
forthcoming for the services. the
bookkeeping division of the depart
ment wrote for it and received this
reply:
will gladly give this small
amount of work TO one of Gods
greatest works, that of caring for
homeless children"
His reply is part of the Christ
mas spirit, of the spirit Of doing
things for children, which is abroad
. in the land and ought not to go un-
noticed.

Fred V. Ostergren. coach of Bow
doin's undefeatcd football team,
may be in attendance at the annual
! Bowdoin night of the Bowdoin club
of Portland Friday, has aroused a
great deal of enthusiasm among
Bowdoin alumni here and it is
thought that some announcement
may be made at the dinner as to Os-
tergrcn's return to Bowdoin as coach
of next years football machine. OS-
tergren represented Bowdoin at the
meeting of football coaches in New
York earlier in the week and has
been planning to arrive in Portland

Virgil c. McGorrill of Portland, a
senior at Bowdoin, will be one of the
undergraduate speakers. McGorrill
is member of the student council
and the athletic council. and is
prominent in undergraduate activi-
ties. The other speaker from the
student body will be James +. Nit
chell ~; of Bangor. who will come
all the way from the Queen city ex-
pressly to be present at this meet
ing.
The committee in charge of the
Bowdoin Night has promised a pro-
gram that is unusual from start to
finish and altogether different from
any previous meeting of the Bowdoin
club. Dinner will be at Friday eve
ming at the Falmouth, and it is ex-
pected that this will be the biggest
meeting in the history of the club.
