LAND RUSH STILL ON
No Trouble Thus Far Over
Fort Hall Claims.
HANY CONTESTS BEING FILED
Bloodshed Ib Expected 'When Cases
Are Settled Bitter Feeling: Against
"Sooner"-Indinn Police Pre
vent Number From Filing:.
There may be serious trouble at
Blackfoot, Idaho today over the filing
on land In the Fort Hall reservation,
opened to settlement yesterday. Two
aged women who hare resided on lands
for years will present their filings, and
If It develops that "sooners" are ahead
of them a conflict la probable. A num
ber of old settlers have been beaten to
the land cfllce by "sooner," which
gles rise to the fear that the aged
-on-en will find a like condition of af
fairs. Millionaire Murray, of Butte,
and Senator Clark, of Montana, sent out
men to stake out a mineral claim. The
Clark men cot to the land first, but
were drUen off. They will contest.
BLACKFOOT, Idaho, June 18. There
was a steady and persistent flow of appli
cations for claims on Fort Hall Indian
reservation land at the Blackfoot Land
Office today, and. although there were
many disappointed applicants, and much
murmuring', no serious trouble occurred.
Many contests are being filed, and blood
shed is expected when ?ome of these are
decided finally. There is much feeling
against a number of "soonera," whom it
is openly charged at the Land Office, and
on the streets, were not on or near the
land when they filed, when the reservation
was thrown open at noon yesterday. Sev
eral of these aplicants are known to have
been in Blackfoot yesterday at noon, and
their applications 'will be contested.
A large number of settlers, whq have
by pufferance of the Government resided
upon reservation lands 15 to 30 years, and
who have made valuable improvements
on the choice land they have occupied,
have had their holdings filed on, in some
cases by "sooners." The bill opening the
Fort Hall reservation gave no protec
tion to these old settlers, as was done in
the case of the bill opening the Kiowa
reservation, which was passed simultane
ously with the Fort Hall bill. Public sen
timent is with these old settlers, and
bloodshed is threatened should they fail
to regain the land they have occupied.
In the line today were two old women
over 70 years of age, a -waiting their turn.
They have spent half their lives on the
reservation. They will not be reached un
til tomorrow, and if it develops that the
lands have been taken by "sooners;" seri
ous trouble may follow.
The mineral lands within the five-mile
limit of Pocatello have been "staked" out
and a large number of conflicts are re
ported. It developed today that the Indian
police yesterday gathered In a number of
"sooners' whom they found within the
limit, and held them prisoners until today,
thus preventing them from gaining any
semblance of title-
"SOOXERS" GET BEST CLAIMS.
There "Will Be 3Inny Contests Over
the Mineral Locations.
POCATELLO. Idaho. June 18. The day
after the opening of the Fort Hall res
ervation has been notably quiet. As re
ports came In this morning it became evi
dent that the "eooners" had secured both
the best mineral lands and the most prom
ising prospects. This has left an under
current of bitter feeling, and there will
be Innumerable contests over both land
entries and mineral locations. Details
were received this niornlng of the great
race for the Bella Marsh copper mine, be
lieved to bo the best prospect on the res
ervation. There, were more than 100 men
after it Senator Clark, of Montana, had
a party in the race, and so had James A.
Murray, the Butte millionaire, as well as
Dr. Dubois, a brother of Senator Dubois,
of Idaho. The Clark men got to the mine
first, but found some of the Murray men
in possession and were driven off by them.
The Clark men will contest.
Reports today Indicate that the open
ing was accomplished without violence and
with nothing worse than a broken arm
sustained by a man who was thrown from
his horse.

A METAL NEW TO OREGON.
Bears Resemblance to Both Mckel
and Platinum.
GRANT'S PASS, June I& An unknown
metal, occurring in nuggets of both
large and small sizes. Is found In quan
tity in the placer mines occupying what
is known as the "ancient Illinois
River channel," In the Waldo district.
B. E. Meredith, manager and owner of
the Meredith Hydraulic Mines, on the
Illinois River, brought In a quantity of
the strange nuggets yesterday from his
property. Mr. Meredith says they could
save tons of It from their placers each
season if the new metal was of value.
The unknown metal has been given the
name "Josephlnelte" from the fact that
it Is found only in Josephine County. In
luster and weight 4t resembles nickel.
It also has the appearance of platinum,
and may be one of the five groups of the
latter metal.
Eastern mineralogists have become
much Interested in the unknown metal
and are trying hard to identify it. If it
proves, of value the Illinois River placers
will bo come of much greater note, as the
metal is found In great quantity In them
on the serpentine bedrock.

acter,'" said Dr. Condon, "have shown
fruit In the Incentive td take hold of the
works of the commonwealth of which our
young people are a part. Those who live
In Oregon have Inherited the culture and

Benediction Dr. Thompson.
Rev. Mr. "Wise, in his address to the
crass, raid:
Tho things of which you arc mot In ned
today, as jou go forth to wage life's battle,
are vision and characer. As the Hbrw pro',
erblallst has put It, "Where there Is no vision
the people perish." Men speak of tho gift of
vision. ThU term does not signify that vis
Ion Is a gift, something falling down from
the heights of heaven to the depths of earth.
There Is no gift In that sense. We must meet
the gifts of God more than half way. Tho
things of God are not to be had for the
asking. Let vision be your beat gift to your
selves, self-given, self-wrought, self-achieved.
The want of vision fllli the legal fraternity
with pettifoggers Instead ot upholders and
Upbullders of the law; the medical profession
with quacks and charlatant Instead of physi
cians and sealers; the ministry with cunning
priests and calculating bigots. Instead of fear
less prophets and preachers, wis, tolerant
and unafraid; the arena of political life with
shrewd and unprincipled politicians 4nstead
of far-seeing and conscientious statesmen; the
fields with worthless farmers Instead of with
skilled agriculturists; the factories with hands
Instead ot heads.
The state educates you ln order that you
In turn may educate the state. The aim of
the state Is not to make men scholars, but
scholars men. Formerly the scholar, was the
servant of the church; today the university
and the church must serve the state, elss
the state cannot serve God.
The first and greatest task 'to which you
of the rising generation are to address jour
seHes Is to cleanse and redeem city, state and
National politics, to discountenance and da
battle against the Jobberies and corruptions of
political life, to speed the coming of the day
when on election shall- not signify a cholco
as between mere respectabilities or puerile
mediocrities at the best. as-befeen dltrepu
tebllltle. as is not uncommon when men and
parties shall stand for principles other than
to the victor belongs the spoils.
Vision must be crowned by character, tho
higher the vision tho nobler must be the
means to achieve the end In lew.

STRAWBERRY CROP IS SHORT.
Salem "Will Have a Third Less Than
an Average Yield.
SALEM, June 18. As the season ad
vances, a shortage of considerable extent
Is disclosed ln the strawberry crop In the
section tributary to Salem. In fact, the
yield la not sufilciently large to supply
the home market, and keep the Allen
Packing Company's cannery in continu
ous operation. While the crop Is consid
erably larger than last season, still .It
falls short by probably 33 1-3 per cent of
an average yield. This shortage Is at
tributed to the backward seison, for tho
acreage has not been reduced. G., TV. Hol
comb, manager of the Allen Packing
Company, today estimated that the etriw
bcrry crop will last about two weeks long
er. The cannery will this week, begin
canning cherries, and will alternate that
fruit with strawberries. In this way the
management expects to keep the plant
running all the time.
