Spokane Reservation Offers
100 Choice Claims for
Land-Seekers. '
99,860 NAMES ARE FILED
Nine Thousand Homeseekera Placed
In West by Opening of Indian
Reserres Large Sums Are
Spent by Land-Seekers.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 15. (Special.)
Mounted on a hlgh-caged platform,
pretty Harriet Post, daughter of Frank
T. Poet, a prominent Spokane lawyer,
will, on Monday morning at 10 o'clock,
elect SM Bamei from scattered thou
sand of application about her for home
stead m the Spokane Indian reservation,
the last of the three opened in the West
thla year, and probably tha last opened
for years to come.
Smaller than aii the rest yet contain
ing about 100 choice claims, the Spokane
reservation has been chosen by more
people, according to Its size, than either
of the two larger reservations, 99.S60
land-seekers placing applications. Win
ners of chances to file will be expected
to select their lands and file official no
tice of intention to make homes on the
reservation by April 10, next year.
9000 Homeseekera Placed.
With the drawing of the 2!0 names
at Coeur d'Alene tomorrow, 9000 home
seekers will have been placed In line
for lands on three reservations Coeur
d'Alene, Flathead and Spokane during
last month, registration having; opened
July 15. Of these 9000, perhaps 40 per
eent will file, according to the predlo
tlon of Judge James W. Wltten, super
intendent of the drawing1,' who bases
his conclusions on the filing at other
reservation openings. The places of
those falling to file will be taken by
the next man behind them in the land-
seekers' list.
That the opening of these reserva
tions will bring 10,000 new settlers to
the West is believed. Easterners who
failed to draw lucky numbers in land
drawings have invested money else
where in the Inland Empire or on the
Pacific Coast.
Much Money Left in West.
Fate played crooked cards with luck
less scores of passengers on Ill-fated
electric trains which 'crashed head-on
on the afternoon of July 31, near Coeur
d'Alene, snuffing out 14 lives and
maiming 102 others, for thus far not
one of the killed or Injured who regis
tered for reservation lands have drawn
a number allotting them a chance to
secure a $10,000 homestead.
For a week past, crowds have surged
about bulletin boards at Spokane where
land winners names were announced.
Four cities have been choken with hu
manity, and it is estimated that 110,
OOO.Ouu has been left in the West dur
ing the land rush.

Successfully Hamper Movement of
"Red" Army.
BOSTON, August 15. A bridge de
stroying expedition to hamper the
movements of the army of the "red"
and the capture of a private of the
Invading army, were the most warlike
features today in the work of the
army of the "blue" in camp near
Brldgewater, defending Boston from an
attack by the "red" army in the war
game. The original plans for a stren
uous Sunday were of no avail because
of the postponment of hostilities last
night.
Every regimental headquarters, how
ever, tonight received marching or
ders, and the indications pointed to a
general advance before morning.
The first real move of the "blue"
army was taken early In the day when
two battalions of the Eighth infantry
under Major Graves was sent to de
stroy Important bridges. The detach
ment returned at 3 o'clock this after
noon, reporting Its work well done.
The "red" army, when it advances, will
be thrown on Its own resources in
crossing the several streams that lie
between It and Boston.
Accompanied by several referees, the
detachment, on coming to a bridge,
would place under it packages sup
posed to contain sufficient dynamite
to destroy the structure. Then a giant
firecracker was exploded and a placard
was placed on the bridge announcing
that it had been "destroyed."
CALF'S, HEAD SET ON FIRE
Lighted Match Is Held Too Close to
Turpentine Poultice.
SPOKANE. Aug. 15. (Special.)
John Oilton. who lives north of Pa
louse, had an unique experience a few
days ago. A yearling bull gored a
horse, and C'ulton thought It wise to

horns were removed stubbornly re
fused to heal, and Culton applied tur
pentine in generous quantities, soak
ing the animal's head thoroughly.
During the evening he went to the
barn to see the bull and lighted a
match to make an inspection of the
sores. The match came In too close
contact with the turpentined head of
the bull, and In an Instant the head
was ablaze and the calf was making
an effort to set firs to everything else
In tho barn.

MISS ST7SAWNE HENNIJTG.
BLUE BLOOD TO MIX
Society Stirred by Engage
ment of Miss Henning.
FIANCE OF ROYAL LINE
Marquis de Charette, Whom Louis
ville Girl Is to Wed, Is Lineal
Descendant of Charles X.
Young Lady Eccentric. .
LOUISVILLE. Ky Aug. 15.-Special.
When the announcement was made here
this past week that Miss Susanne Hen
ning was to marry the Marquis de Char
ette, society was given much food for
gossip and conjecture. Blue blood of Eu
rope and America is to be Joined if this
marriage occurs, for the marquis is the
son of General Baron de Charette, a
French veteran and direct descendant of
Charles X. His mother was Miss Polk,
of Tennessee, a granddaughter of the late
President Polk.
Miss Henning's father is J. W. Hen
ning. a New York broker. Her mother
Is Mrs. Susan Merrlweather Henning, who
Is making-her home in Shelbyville. Miss
Henning has been staying most of her
time with her grandmother. Mrs. J. W.
Henning. in this city, where she haa taken
a prominent part in the social world.
Miss Henning's mother is in comfortable
circumstances, and her father was rated
a millionaire until he was forced to the
wall some years ago. Recently Mr. Hen
ning, who was once known as the Stand
ard Oil broker. In that he did most of
the street business for such men as H.
H. .Rogers, James Stillman, Archbold and
other Standard Oil millionaires, has be
gun to recuperate his fortunes.
Miss Henning has been a prominent ana
well-liked figure in the society of the
South. She has been called eccentric, and
her fads and fancies have furnished much
amusement in her circle, or circles,
rather, for the young lady is cosmopoli
tan in her selection of friends and cath
olic in her tastes.
Miss Henning last Fall began a study
of palmistry, and about that time she
became interested In the welfare of con
victs confined in Frankfort penitentiary.
On one occasion Miss Henning Journeyed
to Frankfort and read the palms of con
victs. One of the men whose hand lines
she read was Henry E. Toutsey, who is
under a life sentence for complicity in
the murder of Governor William Goebel.
She told him his life hod been dealt
harshly with, but that the clouds would
soon roll away.
"Curt" Jett, who Is under two life sen
tences, told Miss Henning that it was use
less for her to read his palm, as it would
only make him realize his fate.
"You have a long life line," said Miss
Henning.
"1 need It," replied Jett, "to keep faith
with the state."
REV. WATERS ROBBED
PORTLAND PASTOR LOSES
POCKETBOOK IX VICTORIA.
Complains to Police, but 'Search Is
In Vain Mayor Donates $5
for Ticket Home.
VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 15. (Special.)
Complaining loudly that he had been
robbed of $12, all the cash he had. Rev.
J. C. Waters, who said he is a Portland
clergyman, sought assistance of the po
lice yesterday. The money was not
found, but Mayor Hall gave the stranger
$5 to assist him on his return.
Rev. Mr. Waters took the return boat,
evidently somewhat doubtful of Victoria's
hospitality.' He had been spending a short
vacation at Seattle and thought a trip to
Victoria would help. As he was coming
down the gangplank, he discovered that
his purse, containing two five-dollar gold
pieces and two sliver dollars, had dis
appeared. Rushing to the wharf, he loud
ly called upon those near by to stop all
passengers and seire the on who had
victlmlred him, but as to whose Identity
he had not the slightest description.
There was a large crowd disembarking
and the task looked to the police a hope
less one. Finally the reverend gentleman
watted upon Mayor Hall, explained his
plight. and the civic head "came
through." Mr. Waters believed it was
while he was . descending the gangplank
that his pocketbook was purloined.
The above dispatch, xvldently, refers
1
I
to Rev. D. A. Waters, paster of the
Patton Methodist Church, Michigan
avenue and Alberta street. Mrs. Wa
ters, wife of Dr. D. A. Waters, at the
home at 321 East Eighth street, said
last night that her husband is proba
bly the man in question, as he has Just
been In Seattle and expected to go
north to Victoria.
"My husband," Mrs. Waters said last
night, "is probably the man to whom
the dispatch refers, as he rather ex
pected to be In Victoria today. Another
thing that makes me think that it was
he who was robbed is the fact that he
seldom carries In his pocket more than
$10 or $15, so that if he was robbed of
$12, it was probably all he had. He
should have his wife along to protect
him. If I had been with him, I do not
think he would have been robbed, and
anyway he could have stood the pre
dicament with better grace If I had
been present to cheer him up."
VALENCIA SHAFT DONE
MONUMENT TO 15 UNKNOWN
VICTIMS UNVEILED.
Simple Ceremonies Mark Dedica
tion of Tribute Erected by
Organized Labor.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 15. With
simple but appropriate ceremonies, the
monument erected in Mount Pleasant
cemetery by organized labor, in mem
ory of the 15 unknown dead whose
bodies were recovered from the wreck
of the ill-fated steamer Valencia, lost
off the coast of Vancouver Island early
in 1906, was unveiled this afternoon.
Short addresses were made by Rev. J.
M. Wilson, of the Westminster Pres
byterian Church, Seattle, and Charles
H. Taylor, of Tacoma, secretary of the
Washington State Federation of Labor.
The monument is a field-stone shaft,
seven feet high, and was erected by

steamer Valencia, coming from Sart
Francisco, ran on the rocks at the foot
of a high cliff near Cape Beall, on the
west coast of Vancouver Island, and

The funeral services following the
wreck were held in the Grand Opera
House, all denominations taking -part.
Thirteen bodies had been recovered at
that time, and organized labor fur
nished six pallbearers for each casket,

MABTON BRIDGE .. BURNS
Former Structure Was Destroyed
Few Years Ago by Flood.
MABTON, Wash., Aug. 15. (Special.)
The Mabton bridge, spanning the Yakima
River Just north of town, was discov
ered to be on fire at 1:30 this afternoon,
and in an hour the whole structure was a
total loss.
The bridge was completed less than
two years ago. the former bridge having
been washed out by the high water in
the Spring of 1907. The middle span of
the bridge was built mostly of steel, but
the heat of the burning timbers twisted
the steel and it will be almost a total
loss.

Fears Country Will Lose Su

GREEK TRADE BOYCOTTED
i
Natives of Island Sympathize With
Greece and Defy Order of Pow
ers to Haul Down Greek
Flag Warships Ordered.
LONDON, Aug. 15. A peaceful solu
tion of the Cretan situation appeared
practically to have been secured last
week through the Intervention of the
four protecting powers. The situation
Is again disturbing, however, and a
naval demonstration will be made.
The Young TurKS" party plainly mis
trusts the present Turkish ministry
and fears Turkey will lose suzerainty
of Crete, as she has. lost that of Bui
garia. This feeling has led to a strong
movement among the Albanians against
the Turkish Government and to a se
rious boycott against Greek trade.
At the same time the population of
Crete has shown such strong Greek sym
pathies as to induce Crete to defy the
order of the protecting powers Great
Britain, France, Italy and Russia to
haul down the Greek flag, which was
raised when the troops of the powers
recently evacuated the Island. As a re
sult of this latter difficulty the situa
tion again has become acute.
The powers have ordered warships to
Crete and probably will reoccupy the is
land in order to force compliance with
their wishes.
UNIONS STORE GRAIN
SNAKE RIVER FARMERS BUILD
WAREHOUSE.

Colfax Union has warehouses at Colfax.
Mockanemo and Risbeck, and Is receiv
ing about 300 sacks a day at the Colfax
house, which is built on the Inland Elec

house Company received an inquiry last'
night from an Eastern Oregon milling
company, which wants 100,000 bushels of
wheat, and Is willing to pay the highest
market price for good milling wheat.

Warehouse Company organized and ware
houses built or leased, and they expect

$35,000 GEMS STOLEN
WOMAN PIXS THEM BENEATH
HER WAIST.
Feels No Wrench, bnt Pearls Are
Missing After Making Trip
on Steamer.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15. (Special. )
A pearl necklace, valued at $35,000, be
longing to Mrs. E. -Tobias Earl, 2425
Wilshire boulevard, wife of the pub
lisher of the Los Angeles Express, Is
now being sought by detectives and of
fers of a large reward are being cir
culated in an effort to recover the
valuable gems.
The loss occurred several days ago
when Mr. and Mrs. Earl left for a visit
to Avalon, and the necklace was placed
among some other valuables In a bag
which Mrs. Earl fastened under her
waist with a safety pin. No wrench
or clutch was felt during the day, and
the gems were supposed to be safe
until her arrival at the aietropoie Hotel
in Avalon, when it was discovered the
bag was gone.
Several wireless messages nave Deen
sent to the residence In Los Angeles in
an effort to trace the loss, but servants
left in charge of the home here deny
any knowledge of the gems.
It is believed that the theft occurred
on the trip to Catalina, as Mrs. Earl
feels certain of having the bag contain
ing the valuables in her possession up to
her arrival at the boat. She suffered se
verely from seasickness and the theft
might have been committed en route.
The pearls composing the necklace
were well matched and of such a dis
tinctive type as to make it possible to
identify them.

insistence on the part of her attorney.
It is believed he will make much of the

openly last night that this would be his
line of defense when the case comes to

He said, however, that he thinks Mrs.
Collins ought to e confined in an asylum

action when County Judge Webster and

NEW YORK, Aug. 15. (Special.)
Makers and dispensers of Intoxicating
liquors now have a new worry besides
the worry of the prohibition party and
other reform elements. The' regular drink
ers of "hard liquor" have suddenly de
veloped a preference for buttermilk. They
find it gratifies and satisfies and does not
inebriate.

taken hold upon the'drlnking public that
It now takes all of one man's time in

termilk from the cellar to the bar.
Fifty quarts is Below the daily average
