135 THE 310KMAG ORECiCXNlAA'. SATDUDAY, MAY. 15, 1U15. INDIAN. 103, If! COURT Tribal Customs Are Issue in Trial of Federal Complaint. REDMEN RELY ON TREATY The Dalles Cunnln; Company Con tends Cliiiinant Is AVuNliington Man State Borders Not Koc osnized by Tribesmen. (Continued Vrom First Page! called to testify yesterday, for after continuing: for the whole day before Judge AVolverton the hearing: wis ad journed until Monday. A big- city ha few attractions for the old man, who wants to pro home. The llev. Ceorue Waters-, who has been chief of the Yakimas since the death six years alio of hla brother, White Swan, the hereditary chief, and was ordained a Methodist minister in Portland in 1871. did testify. He told of how "Jon, long time ago," the Indians of the Yakima Nation and the Wascos used to fish in brotherly amity at Lone Tree point, where Williams now claims the riftht by tribal custom, lie was 14 years old when the treaty was signed. Tribal Krlrodnhlv attached. "The tribes then were friendly." he oaid. emphasizing the friendly, "very friendly. They shared always the same fishing grounds. The Yakimas would ko to the Oregon side and fish with the Wascos, and when high water came the Wascos would come to the Washington side and fish with the Y'akimus. We knew no OreKon or Washington. We knew only that the shores were our fishing? grounds." One of the contentions of attorneys for Seufert is that the Yakima Nation was on the Washington side of the Co lumbia when the treaty was made, and that therefore the Yakimas have no rights on the Oregon shore under the treaty. Discoverer Claim Fiahlnic IMnce. uts Simpson, official judge of the Taklmas, testified with Charley Pitt as interpreter. Speaking in the gut tural tones of his language, and with the expressive gestures of his race, he told how as a boy, before the treaty was drawn, lie and his father had fished at Lone Tree Point, as well as at many other points on both sides of the river. Through Pitt, interpreted with the fluency of a man of real education, he gave this explanation of the tribal custom: "A man that discovers a fiehlng place, that's his, unless he has enough fish, then others can fish, at his privi lege." And "at his privilege" was the way Charley Pitt translated It, too. He told how he was present when the treaty was made with Governor Stevens representing- the Government. "Ask him how old he was when the treaty was made," said A. S. Bennett, one of .Mr. Seufert'a attorneys. Hands Express Meaning. Louis Simpson weighed the question and shook his head thoughtfully. Then he spoke rapidly to Charley Pitt, and raised his right hand about 4 Vi feet above tho floor. So expressive were his gestures that it didn't need Charley Pitt's Interpretation. He says he doesn't remember, but he thinks he was about this old." to let you know that he was about 4 Vi feet "old" at the time. The Government's contention is that for many years the fishing rights at Lone Tree Point, which is at the head of Three Mile Rapids above The Dalles, were vested in an Indian known as Wasco Charley, and that In 1906 he turned over his rights by tribal custom to Sam Williams. Louis Simpson said he had known Wasco Charley "long. 1-o-n-g time." "I have seen Wasco Charley fish with a dipnet at Lone Tree. He fished there pretty near all hi life. That was his home." "When I fished there with my fath er." he answered a question on cross examination, "we fished with a dipnet and with a spear." Indian Charges Threats. Sam Williams, in his own behalf, told of fishing at Lone Tree with gill neti until 1910. when he Installed a fish wheel under a state license. He recited Instances in which he alleged that Scufert or his employes had threat ened him and even cut his fishwheel scow adrift. "Seufert's son Frank," he testified, "he say, 'We give you five minutes' time to pet out. I showed my papers. He say 'It makes no difference; you got to get . out. We give you five minutes.' They cut the scow loose, she drift on island. One time she hit rock. "The scow was all to pieces, like a ball. Hit a rock, went upside down." Jesse Mann, a white youth employed by Williams, also testified to occasions when he said the scow was cut adrift by the Seuforts. Don M. Carr, superintendent of the Takima reservation, said that during the present lishing season there was a scow at Lone Tree Point, presumably operated by the Seuferts. LlrrnF Iteftisrd Contenders. Then Colonel L A. Darrington, spe cial agent of the Department of the Interior, was called by Assistant United States Attorney Rankin. He declared the Seufert scow occu pies the point now. "How do you know?" asked Rankin. "Seufert told me so." said Darrington. He was not cross-examined. The first witness of the day was Theodore Opsund, clerk of the Oregon Fish and Game Commission, who testi fied regarding licenses awarded to Williams for his fishweel, and that this year Seufert and Williams had made applications for fishwheel licenses at the same place. Both licenses were de nied, he testified, until a court could decide the question. The morning session of court was taken up with the opening arguments of attorneys on both sides. Judge Wol verton denied a motion in behalf of the defendants to dismiss the case. His attorneys, A. S. Bennett and R. R. Butler, asserted that the treaty gave the Indians the right to tlsh with spear and dipnet only. In denying the mo tion, Jude Wolverton said: "To hold Indians to such fishing methods would deny them the right to progress and civilization." Charley Pitt, the Interpreter, has an Interesting history. He was born a Pitt Indian, but in a fight with the Wascos. was taken captive and carried away as a slave, together with a girl of the tribe. When he grew up he was adopted into the tribe. He married the slave girl, who had been captured with him. Pitt has lived with the Indians all hts life, but Is a man of much ap parent education.

OREGON PILING CHOSEN LIMBKU ORDERKI) FOR XAVV DRY DOCK IX HAWAII AX ISLANDS, Product Will Be Delivered by McCor- mlek Steamer Klamath, and Two Trips W HI Be Xeeded. Oregon piling will be utilized in reconstruction work being carried on at the big Navy dry-dock at Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian Islands, the Charles R. McCormick Lumber Company having obtained a contract for the delivery ot 4050 pieces ot piling mere. The ma terial will be shipped from the river aboard . the steamer Klamath, of the McCormick fleet, which is en route home from Guaymas, Mexico, after de livering her second cargo of over 1,000,000 feet of Oregon lumber there. The vessel makes her first voyage from Portland June 3, and the. last lot of piling will go as soon as she can re turn, probably by way of California, Broughton & Wiggins, of St. Helens, have received a subcontract from the McCormick interests to get out the piling, which is all special order, and a comparatively small portion of the lot will be creosoted. The Pearl Harbor drydock project has proved one of the most interesting of Government under takings of the character, and Hawaiian folk lore includes a story that a god dess inhabits Pearl Harbor who has im parted to her earthly followers infor mation that efforts of tho United States Government to build modern plants on those waters will not be featured by success. The two trips of the Klamath paves the way for passengers who con template a Summer visit to the garden of the Pacific. She has accommodations for 60 passengers, and Frank Bollam, Portland agent for tho passenger de partment of that fleet, says it will be an opportunity that may not be afforded again until such time as a regular line is established between the Columbia River and the island group. There is a plan under consideration to steam the Klamath via San Fran cisco for more passengers in the event reservations from here are not taken, and a special rate is to be named, de pending on the number of inquiries received during the next few days, MAIUXE INTELLIGENCE.

Though the word "warrenite" will not be specifically named In the calling of -bids for that type of pavement. It will appear in parenthesis and the war renite type of pavlns will be styled "bitullthic redress" aa in the standard city specifications, it was decided, at another paving conference of the Coun ty Commissioners yesterday. They grave this assurance after R. W. Montague, attorney for the Warren Bros. Company, and A. J. Hill, North western manager, appeared before them and protested against elimination of the name "warrenite." Mr. Montague argued that if a pantentee permits his product to be used under another name, it Is a legal maxim that, in a sense, he waives his rights. "To cut out the trade name," he declared, "would be the same thing as compelling an individual to hire u lawyer who should be desig nated as lawyer No. 33." A committee from the Central Labor Council also appeared before the Com missioners. They urged the Commis sioners to accept the proposal of Pulin & McMullen, city employes, to have the county do Its own paving and super vise the job for $200 a month each. The Commissioners have answered this proposal by saying that Dulin & Mc Mullen are at liberty to present bids the same as anybody else. The re-drafted specifications for the different types of paving may be ready for consideration by the Commissioners this morning. . PORT DROPS OFFICE Towing Department Reduced to Save $3000 Monthly. STEAMER TO BE MOORED Boats Xow Idle Large Part of Time to Be Csed Instead of Ockla liania Several Contracts for Supplies Are Let. Pleading the necessity of strict econ omy and that there are only four sail ing ships listed for Portland to load grain, against 27 carriers at the same time in 1914, the Port of Portland Com mission yesterday voted to abolish the towing department superlntendency, by which it is estimated that a saving In excess of $3000 can be attained monthly. The change means that the Portland office, with Harry Campion as super intendent, will be cut down to a com missary, while the Astoria office will be closed and the steamer Ocklahama, used between Portland and Astoria In towing ships, also shifting vessels in the harbor, will be ordered out of com mission and moored at the drydock with a watchman aboard. The Ockla hama Is said to cost an average of $2500 monthly and the superlntendency ot the department is figured at about $650 a month, and at least during the Summer season it is reasoned that tha money can be saved. It was shown that during May. June, July and August, 1914, the net loss in the towing de partment was $23,047.83. Towing necessary meanwhile is to be done by outside steamers, as a number of river boats are available, owing to few orders to tow rafts and similar loads. Iay Increase Denied. The bar tug Wallula will be contin ued in service at the mouth of the river, the Oneonta being held here after her repairs because she is more expensive to operate, and the Wallula .will not be brought to Portland until her new boiler is ready. Acting along the same line, the commission declined yester day to advance wages in the dredging department, it having been asked that the pay for a majority of the positions be restored as it was previous to a 10 per cent cut made last Fall. E. W. Wright, manager of the port, has directed that steamers used as dredge tenders report to him direct, as he will personally handle the towing details during the Summer. There may be times when the Pronto and Mc Craken will be used to tow small ves sels. No intimation was given at the meeting held yesterday whether addi tional retrenchment will be shouldered. Boiler Contract Awarded. Acting on bids opened at Thursday's session, the commission yesterday awarded a contract to the Willamette Iron & Steel Works for a new boiler for the tug Wallula, to cost $13,700 and be delivered In 90 days, and the same firm to build tanks at $760. The Zimmerman-WeUs-Brown Com pany obtained a contract in the sum of $S56 for supplying a hoisting en gine; K. C. Gordon, a conveyor engine for $210; sheaves, by Hess-Martin & Company, at $185; Smith & Watson, derrick irons, $235; King Brothers, con veyor at $310 and a hot well at $97.5'), and the Portland Shipbuilding Comp.m' two scows at $10,300 each, to be 13C feet long and having a beam of 34 feet. Concerning the establishment of coat bunkers on North Portland Harbor by private interests, the Port went on record as not intending to engage in the bunker business at present, al though it could not be said what might be taken up later, either because of changed conditions or a different ad ministration. Columbia Vae Conaldered. It was said that if the harbor there is to be dredged regularly it mlfht be found that the dredge Columbia would be of more use as a digger -than if her machinery were shifted to the new steel hull and the machine used sim ply as a relay, as is intended. Colonel Morrow, Corps of Kngineers. United States Army, wrote to the commission asking what is to be done regarding the dredging there. It was ordered that he be informed the commission would carry out the law, that district having been added to its jurisdiction last year. On a bid of $835 the Ostrander Rail way & Timber Company, of Ostrander, Wash., was awarded a contract to fur nish four "spuds" for the Port's dredges, each to be 80 feet long and 35 inches in diameter. Manager Wright was instructed to arrange for the installation of a wire, less plant aboard the pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer, which is used by the Columbia River bar pilots. The com mission feels that with only one tug in service at the entrance, there are times when she will be inside, and with wireless on the schooner, information could be sent her of approaching ves sels requiring a tow. COL. HAXDBl'RV DIES ABHOAD Knsrineer Officer Began South Jetty and Built Cascade Locks. From Berne, Switzerland, comes news that Colonel Thomas H. Hand bury, who directed the active con struction of tho Cascade Locks and started the south jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River, then a Major in the Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., died there April 2?. He was retired from the active list February 16. 1905, and his period ot service at Portland was from 1891 to 1894. Colonel Powell attended to the pre liminary work of the south jetty, but it was Major Handbury who directed the actual beginning of construction and. as he came direct from tho Chica tm riiKtrlf.t tt PortlAnH tin it credited with having had experience that stood him well In hand in undertaking the big jetty project and the Cascade T.nr-lc. wnrk. often durinir the tast few years, particularly during dis cussions bearing on the widening oi harbor lines here and other changes. Colonel Handbury has been quoted and, besides his ability, his personality won for him many friends. FIVE SCHOONERS AHE BOUGHT Port Blakely HU Company Is Pur chaser of Globe Meet. SEATTLE, May 14. The Port Blakeley Mill Company has purchased the five wooden schooners of the bank, rupt Globe Navigation Company, which were bid in by a committee of stock holders of the company at auction last month.

They have a total car rying capacity -of 5,000,000 feet. WAREHOUSE OFFER IS MADE Waitsburg Man Also Would Build Dock Above AVallula. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. May 11 (Special.) Charles C. Hill, of Waits burg, has offered to build a warehouse and furnish dock facilities at a point where both railroads cross the Snake River, 10 miles above Wallula, provided he has a guarantee of business enough to justify the expense. He announced his offer to the Commercial Club. The industrial and commercial bu reau is considering It. Mr. Hill has a 2700-foot frontage on the river. He says he will charge 5 cents 100 for the transfer. CORVALLIS SERVICE RESTORED Steainer Makes Three Round Trips a Week to Head of Navigation. Increased depth available in the channel of the Willamette River above Salem, due to the Eola Bar having been dredged and heavy rains of the past few days, the Yellow Stack Line announced yesterday a resumption of service to Corvallis on the regular schedule so a steamer leaves here Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday. The Oregon gets away this morning and Tuesday the Grahamona takes the run The line has arranged for an excur sion to Butteville a week from tomor row aboard the Grahamona, the occa sion being an outing of the Portland Motorboat Club, which will hold races, and there will be other attractions, The Grahamona is to leave here at 8 o'clock in the morning and be back at 7 that evening. PORTLAND WINS AWARD STEKXWHEEL GASOLINE BOAT IS TO BE BUILT HERE. Craft for Im , in Equipping; Alaska Railroad Sj.tcm la to Be Shipped and Assembled at Seattle. In competition with shipbuilding plants of the Pacific Coast, Portland ha3 secured a contract for ' the con struction of a sternwheel gasoline boat for the Alaska Engineering Commis sion, the functions of which are to con struct and equip the much-talk-of Alaska railroad system. Joseph Supple is the fortunate contractor and with the arrival of the contract from Seat tle yesterday he was Informed that by June 10 the craft must be completed, delivered at Seattle and ready to be hoisted aboard the steamer Seward, of the Alaska Steamship Company's fleet, which is to land it at Ship Creek, Alaska. As maritime construction is eruaged. the Alaska vessel will not be a levia than, being- 66 feet long with a beam of 15.6 feet and depth of hold of 3.6 feet, but no monster of the deep fash ioned by the hand of modern man will have been turned out with more care or speed, as the time limit makes it imperative that the job be rushed, while requirement of Federal regula tions are such that standard work must be performed in spite of haste being demanded. Mr. Supple said yesterday that he will place as large a force of ship car penters on the undertaking as can be employed .advantageously and after the vessel is assembled it will be "knocked down" and shipped to Seat tle, there to be assembled again and tried out, so that it will be in perfect order when hoisted aboard the Seward. An Atlas gasoline engine of 80-horse- power will be installed to drive the wheel, and while no crew quar ters are provided, there is a lengthy list of equipment and gear that must accompany the craft. The contract price is $8800. Another Government job Mr. Supple has on hand id the building of the steamer oodland. that will be used as a tender for the new dredge Mon- ticello, which is being finished at the Willamette lion & Steel Works for the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The vessel will operate on the Cowlitz, Lewis and Clatskanie Rivers. Mr. Supple expects to have the machinery and boiler installed in the Woodland next week and as the Monticello is to be finished June 12, the tender will be turned over on time as well.
