Trial of Capon Case at Vancouver
Aligns Son Agalnt Father and
Brother Opposes Brother.
OREGON C1TT. Or., April 17.-3peclal )
Son against father, and brother against
brother la a peculiar aituatlon In th
ault of Ellery Capen against Frank
Capen that waa tried last week In th
Superior Court oj Clark County, Wash
ington. Attorney J. E. Hedges, of thla
city, appearing for Frank Capen.
Seventeen years ago Ellery Capen gave
to hla son. Frank, a deed to W acres of
land In Thurston County. Waahlngton,
with th understanding that the latter
waa to asaume-crrtain debts of the George
B. Capes estate, th transfer also cover
ing money owed by the father to the son.
Ellery Capen and Georg B. Capen were
brothers, and were partners In tha firm
at George H Capen Company, In th
ahoe business at Portland. The concern
failed during tha financial stringency in
lt and 1894.
Last year Frank Capen waa approached
by a man who wanted td take an option
to purchase the property for 130.0)0. and
a few montha later he waa advised by
his father that Capen. Sr.. bad never In
tended to give the property to hla aon,
but had conveyed it to .Frank merely as
trustee. At the time the original con
veyance was made the land was valued
at only H000.
Edward Capen, of Portland, and Lean
e'er Capen. of Willamette, also aona or
Ellery Capen. aided with their father,
and he brought ault agalnat hla son to
recover the land, which la located In
Thurston County. Washington. The Su
perior Judge there had at times ad
vised Frank Capen concerning the prop
ertv. and he declined to try the case,
which waa tranaferred to Vancouver,
largely for the convenience of the at
torneys and the partlea to th action.
The trial lasted from Monday morning
until last Friday night, and the court
has taken the case under advisement and
will probably render a decision tha latter
part of thla week.
Ellery Capen and hla aona, Frank and

INDIAN ESTATES THERE
F. AV. Graham, Great Northern In
dustrial and Immigration Agent,
Points to 1910 Report of
Reservation's Wealth.
In throwing open the Warm Springs
Indian reservation to the people, F. W.
Graham. Industrial and immigration
agent of th Great Northern Railway In
Portland, believes that the Government
would ba acting wisely.
"It may be, as Indian Agent Covey
says, that most f tb good land la
taken." aald Mr. Graham, "but tha fact
remalna that many of the allotments
are now part of Indian eatates and
must necessarily, in some manner, ba
disposed of by the United States Gov
ernment. These lands are the best on
the reservation. Then this large body
of land. 40 miles square, should be
placed in a position to be utilized for
the benefit of the white man. After
going over the country I made a re
port to the Great Northern officials in
February. 1810. It tells the story of
th situation precisely aa It Is. Tha
facta were given largely by Mr. Covey
at the time."
Room for 10,000 Families.
Mr. Graham's report is:
"We atopped over night at the agency
and got the following Information
from C. C. Covey, auperlntendent of
the agency. There are 600,000 acres in
the reservation, of which S15.8S0 are
already nnder survey, 100.000 acres of
the surveyed lands are tillable of the
first class. 315.860 acres suited to eras
ing; 25.000 acres are Umber lands, un
aurveyed, containing some very fine
yellow plus timber, average stand being
10.000 feet an acre. The reservation ia
40 miles square. It Is estimated it
would accommodate 10.000 families. Mr.
Covey estimates that 2S.000 acres could
be irrigated cheaply. There were 115,
000 acrea allotted In 1S96 and 25 years
from that time the Indians can get title.
There are at present 18.000 bead of
sheep grazing on the reservation, which
pay an average of 18 cents a head an
nually. Indians Poor Farmers.
"The range can be made to aupport
EO.OOO bead of aheep. and on the lower
ranges 15.000 head of cattle. There are
4000 head of cattle and 10.000 head of
horses at present. There are 770 In
dians on the reservation, of whom 150
are heads of families. The Indians do
not farm as well aa the white man.
They do not plow deep enough for Summer-fallow.
They do not get over IS
bushels of wheat an acre. Not anyone
around her farms right, either In
dians or whites. Superintendent Covey
has asked the Government to put In
an experiment station on the reserva
tion. That will be done thla year, and
better results are looked for. Some of
the Indians are Industrious. - The ma
jority raise enough for their own use.
They hunt and do teaming for the
Government. They all have a few head
of stock but not many sheep. There
are bits of pasture land on the reser
vation that the cattle and ponies have
never seen. Alfalfa and wheat do well.
Porcupines eat the corn and early frosts
nip the fruits.
Warnipprlng- Has Trader.
"There are a general store end post
office and livery barn at Warmsprlng
(pronounced as one word and singular)
conducted by L. J. Rising. He said 150
people get mail there, including tha
Indians, whose correspondence Is not
heavy. Mr. Rising has a trader's license
to do' bualnesa on the reservation.
There Is an Indian boarding school
with 100 scholars. There are about 20
white employes at the agency. Elec
tric power from Shltike Creek, which
flows through the settlement, lights all
the buildings. The grounds and build
ings resemble an Army post. In fact,
they were laid out by an Army officer
after that plan. All Indiana born prior
to 1894 have been allotted their lands,
from 80 to 160 acres each. They can
not sell for 25 years. Th remainder
of the reservation Is tribal property. A
good deal of matured timber Is being
sold to railroad contractora. All of
these recelpta are depoaited In "Wash
ington, D. C. to the credit of the tribe
and spent for Its benefit.
Spring Water Very Hot.

man Ellis haa made such a recommen

My house failed. I am stranded here

There are 256 high - grade, custom
tailored euits and 63 overcoats In the
entire sample outfit, and in order to
raise sufficient cash with which to de
fray my expenses to New Tork I will
sell these garments at 60 cents on the
dollar of actual cost of production a
true confession. I have tried to sell
Ura samples to merchants, but as they
knew of the predicament I was in, the
advantage they tried to take was out
rageous. Therefore I decided to retail
these high - grade suits direct to the
public at E0 cents on the dollar. Come,
