Senator K. F. Pettigrew, of Sioux Falls.

Senator Fettla;rew served the State of
Houth Dakota from 1S)1 to 101 In the
I'nlted Mates Senate, during; which
time ana at frequent Intervals' alnce.
lis ha made periodical visits to and
some Investments In Itlar.o.
While looking over Boise on this Jour
ney ho saM to me: "This Is one of the
i!gzest little cities I ever saw. It Is
clean, up to date, and full of the ginger
which nukes a real live city. While not
as large. It I as bury and fuliv as at
tractive as Sioux City. la. of which It
always reminds me. I am agreeably sur
prised now. as always on my visits here,
at the remarkable Improvement of
Holse."
me years a so Senator Pettigrew was
very much attracted to the mining In
dustry. While he still has such Invest
ments, the bent of his mind now turns
to Irrigated lands. In Idaho he has
land under the North Side Twin Falls
and the Salmon Carey act projects; and
In t'tah under tha Severe River Carey
act project. In the State of Washington
he. last year, took up a .0i-acre tract
of his own at Moses Lake, selling It out
later to a land syndicate, reserving for
lus two sons. Frank and Arthur. 0
acres which they are now clearing and
preparing to plant to apples.
Pettigrew Has Many Friend.
Senator Pettigrew has a host of friends
among the Idaho Democrats, based large
ly on his cloee acquaintance with many
of them through his frequent visits to
this state and his regular meeting with
them In National delegations of his
party, at which ho universally appear
at the head of the South Dakota delega
tion. He left here for Portland, from
whence he went to Seattle, then to visit
his sons at Moves Lake, from which
place he will return to bis homo In
Sioux Falls.
The success attending the Portland
Rose Festival during the years of Its
successful existence has served to crests
the promotion of a plan to foster the
beautifying Industry In Boise, the Capi
tal City of Idaho.
That the plan finds sponsors In the
most potent of all organisms In the city,
the Columbian Club, vouches for Its ulti
mate abundant success. The Columbian
Club of Boise Is a woman's organisation
which has passed all the stages of ex
periment, and Indelibly stamped Its Im
press for good on the civic life of "Boise
the Beautiful." Among the women of

CHERRY CRIES FOR 1

for Help Yet Vnheeded.
LEWISTOX. Idaho. June 14. (Spe
cial.) The cherry marketing situation
In the Lewlston-Clarkston Valley to
day reached a crisis, after urgent com
munications having been sent to
various towns of tha state and vicinity
for help but no new developments toon
turn.

such a help shortage since fruit
growing became an Industry In that
part or tne slate. i ne cause
that many of those who formerly sent
fruit to the packing houses now pack
their own fruits, which takes the
packera from the larger establishments.
The crop, being much larger, also Is
accountable for the flooding of the
packing houses. The White Bros, and
Crura Company of this city, who op
erate laree houses In Clarkston. have
1been paying wages which exceed any
thing of the past. In an endeavor to
s;et the women packers to work.
Were It possible to pick and pack the
fruit, as It should be marketed there
would be grave difficulty In getting It
to the points to which It would bo
billed, owing to the shortage In cars
out of this point. An urgent plea has
been sent to the headquarters of the
railroad asking for better service out
of Lewlston and tributary points.
The great feature- of the Lewlston
crop this year Is the excellent quality
of the cherries. Clarkston has never
before sent the perfect fruit that she
Is packlnit and shipping this year.
The number of cars which Clarkston
will send out this year Is difficult to
ascertain, but It will be in the neigh
borhood of 7S. The canning establish
ments are operating on S4-hour shifts
la order to keep pace with the abund
ant Incoming over-ripened fruits.
The present weather Is favorable to
the development of the peach crop,
which this year will again be bumper,
despite the threatening conditions of
two months ago.
The earlier prices for the earlier
varieties are coming back to the grow
ers and they shosr a satisfactory return
on the shipments.
Storm Damages Growing; Crops.
CoLVILLE. June 24. (Special.) A
thunder storm of unusual force, coming
from the south yesterday afternoon at
9 o'clock, did considerable damage to
fruit and gardens. The rain fell aa If
a cloudburst, with a forerunner of hall
and wind. Small chickens were killed
by the pelting of the hailstones, and
many windows were shattered. More
than 10 panes of glass In Smith's
greenhouse, one mile east of town, were
broken and considerable damage In
flicted upon the tender vegetation
within. -

CENTRALIA. Wash- June 14. (Spe
cial) The school census of Centralla
haa lust been completed and gives a re
turn of t-vl. This shows an Increase
of 15 per cent on the returns of last
census In 1I0. when the number was
lven as I:o. The ages or tne siu
dents range from B years to II years.
According to the statistics, there are
more girls than boys In this city, thero
being attending school 1048 boys and

By the accepted rule that governs
an estimate of city population, the total
number of Inhabitants Is Invariably
about four and one-half times the num
her of children attending school. This
would give Centralla a population of
about 10.000. which seems the correct
number, especially when some or tne

Crawford Declares Xo Statute Found
Covering Oregon Xaval Militia.
Prior to Slay 20, 1911 Ex
ceptions Reviewed Entire.
SALEM. Or.. June 24. (Special.) In
passing on exceptions made to the find
ings of the Court of Inquiry relative
to the conduct of certain officers of
the Oregon Naval Reserve, the excep
tions being made by Captain George S.
Shepherd. Attorney-General Crawford
today handed down an extensive opin
ion at the behest of Adjutant-General
Flnxer. In which It Is held that the
court acted for the Information of the
Governor only, that It is the findings of
the court that the Governor Is presumed
to want and not the exceptions of the
parties Interested after they have had
their day In court.
Much light is thrown on the status
of the Oregon Naval Militia and the old
Naval Reserve by the Attorney-General's
opinion.
"Before passing upon the findings of
the court of Inquiry and the exceptions
thereto of Captain Shepherd. I wish to
say t hat I find no law covering the or
ganisation, discipline, etc.. of the Ore
gon Naval Reserve prior to May 20,
111." writes the Attorney-General.
- . . . The proclamation of Acting ;
Governor Jay Bowerman. Issued August I
25. 1S10. In which he recognized the ex
istence of tho Oregon Naval Reserve
and appointed officers therefor, does not
amount to a statute or law governing
such organization, but only recognizes
Its existence and appoints Its officers
by virtue of his authority as Commander-in-Chief
of the military and
naval forces of the state.
Laws Do Not Include Forces.
The laws of this state governing; the
organisation, maintenance, discipline.
etc., of the Oregon National Guard do
not Include the naval forces or provide
for the organisation of a naval reserve
or militia. Therefore, the officers of
the Oregon National Guard are not
vested with any control over said Ore
gon Naval Reserve. The only effect
which the orders. Issued by the Adjutant-General,
should have with relation
to the Naval Re.ervs would be as the
orders of the Governor Issued through
his agent, the Adjutant-General, and in
that capacity the Adjutant-General
could only be considered as acting vol
untarily and not by authority of the
Oregon military code. -
"It will be noticed that the findings
of the court of Inquiry were approved
by the Governor and to that extent
would have the effect of being made by
the personal agents of the Governor and
his ratification of the findings probably
would carry with it the ratification of
the order of the Adjutant-General, ap
pointing the board, as well as the ac
tion of the respective officers compos
ing the same.
"Neither can It be considered that
the articles of government of the
United States Navy, revised statutes
section 1624, or any other Federal law
relative thereto, are controlling In this
matter since, as has already been
stated, the Oregon Naval Reserve was
purely a voluntary organization, not
organized or existing pursuant to any
law. . . . With these preliminary
observances I pass to the exceptions of
Captain Shepherd to the findings of the
court of Inquiry, so-called.
Exception Not Well Taken.
"The first exception Is as to the or
der appointing the court and Its form
ation based on aectlon 3200 of Bellinger
and Cotton's code which is section 377
of Lord's Oregon laws and a part of
the military code of the state. As here
tofore stated the state military code
has no reference to the Naval Reserve
and therefore said section Is Inapplic
able and if there Is any authority for
appointing of such court In my opinion
the exception Is not well taken.
"The second exception also relates to
the formation of the court for the rea
son that the majority of the members
of said court were drawn from the Ore
gon National Guard, which Is alleged
to be a separate organisation under
srticle 6. section of the constitution.
There Is no ststute of this state ap
plicable to the formation of courts of
inquiry for the Naval Reserve, nor was
there at that time, and therefore. If
such a court could be appointed the
appointing power could exercise his
discretion In the appointment of its
members. ...
."The third exception relates to the
submission of the findings of the court
of Inquiry to the Governor for his ap
proval without an opportunity of the
persons, whose behavior Is therein crit
icised, to file exceptions thereto, end to
the expression of the court that Captain
Shepherd used 'poor Judgment.' As I
understand It. all persons affected had
an opportunity to be heard In the court,
and therefore, there la no necessity for
the exceptions being filed before the
findings are submitted to the Governor.
The court, acting for the Information of
the Governor only. It Is the findings of
the court which the Governor Is pre
sumed to want and not the exceptions
of parties Interested after they have
had their day In court.
"Aa to the matter of the expres
sion of opinion by members of the court
thst Csptaln Shepherd used "poor Judg
ment' that Is a matter within their dis
cretion. If they consider such to be a
facf.
. -The fourth exception seems to be
based on the fact that the findings
therein referred to are without the
authority of the court and contrary to
tha articles of war. but. as before
stated, the articles of war or those for
the dVsclplIne and control of the Navy
do not apply In this case."
Similar observstlons are made In re
spect to the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth exceptions, but the Attorney
General states that the exception rel
ative to the order Issued May 19. 1911.
disbanding the Oregon Naval Reserves
seems to be well taken for the reason
that the Adjutant-General was not
vested with any authority over the
naval forces of the state.

Indians, Mating by Tribal Cus
tom, Thrown in Jail.
KLAMATHS ARE TROUBLED
Attorney for Tribesmen Whose Sin
Is Xot Using White Man's Cere
mony, Says Xo Federal Statute
Makes Their Act Wrong.
KLAMATH FALLS, June 24. (Spe
cial) If Attorney John H. Stevenson,
of Portland, wins his contention that
no Federal law prohibits Indians from
mating without the formality of going
through the white man's marriage
ceremony, in a case before the Federal
Court In Portland to be tried next Mon
day, a load will be lifted from the
minds of many Indians on the Klamath
reservation.
The case is that of John Cole and
Ellen Paraio, and Joseph Jackson and
Lou Wilson. Klamath Indians, legally
married according to tribal customs,
who are now held In Jail in Portland
on a charge of living: together unlaw
fully, made by the Federal authorities.
Attorney Stevenson, representing: the
Indians, declares there Is no record
of any law on the Federal statutes
compelling Indians to be married in the
white man's way. The arrested red
men are prosperous and respected on
the Klamath reserve. They are the
second and third Indian couples to be
brought Into court on such charge, tho
first. Brig Jim and Mary Weeks, hav
ing been sentenced recently to 30 days
in Jail by the same Federal court. Sev
eral other members of the tribe have
also been arrested and are now held
In Jail or under bonds to be tried for
not getting the legal sanction of the
whites to their wedding.
This activity Is the result of a cru
sade begun some months ago by
Federal officials to force all Indians to
marry legally. This prosecution has
caused many to rush to the clerk's of
fice In Klamath Falls to secure mar
riage permits and seek some one law
fully entitled to tie the wedding- knot.
Others have been on the anxious seat,
fearing that they would be brought
Into court and humiliated.
While the younger members of the
Klamath tribes who have been edu
cated, as a rule, comply with the white
man's marriage ceremony, some of the
older Klamaths with large property
holdings on the reservation have lived
together for years and been constant
to each other, following only the old-
