(Waibtafton Uro of The Journal.)
Washington, Aug. An echo of the
once celebrated "whiskey to Indians
cases," formerly the source of much
profit to federal marshals and commis
sioner in Oregon, is found In a report
Just filed by Special Officer John W.
Green of the Indian service, who has
been performing a mission to suppress
the selling of whisker to Indians In
Washington and Idaho.
In former years federal officials
reaped rich harvests from the Judicious
sowing 01 dollars among tne inaians in
the form of bribes or things less strik
ingly named, but quite as effective.
They were accustomed to procure liquor
sold to Indians, and then take the hap
less victims to Portland from reserva
tions and rolled the mileage from the
government. Thousands of dollars a
year often was the return to a deputy
who was expected to divide the "graft '
with his chief.
Finally United BUtes Judge C. B.
Bellinger, lately deceased. Issued a pro
nunclamento and stopped the traffic,
and the business never thrived after
that
Allotted Indians Oaf Bar.
Then came the court decisions that
allotted Indians could buy liquor as le
gally as whites, and that was the straw
to break the back of the graft camel.
Special Officer Green n his report
Just filed says he found immense quan
tities of whiskey were being sold to In
dians throughout Washington and Idaho,
and that he could do nothing In most
canes because the Indians had taken al
lotments.
Therefore he appealed to the county
and city authorities, and developed a
remarkable movement through the two
states. In which the local officials
Joined. They passed city ordinances to
nut a stop to the rum trainc witn tne
Indians, refused county commissioners'
licenses and adopted other means to ac
complish the desired end.
Saloonmen Bar Indians.
But the climax was reached when Mr.
Green called the North Yakima salosn
man. II In number, together and asked
them to sign an agreement not to sell
any more whiskey to the Indiana on
the nearby reservation. Every one of
those zs saloons was wide open to In
dian patrons, and the revenues were
large and Inviting. But the saloonmen
signed the agreement and Mr. Qreen in
cludes In his report the remark that he
has lately received letters from North
Taklma saying that an Indian now can
scarcely buy a glass of lemonade there,
so strictly do the saloonmen keep their
agreement.
The Indiana Mr. Green writes down
as false swearers, saying that prosecu
tions by him often were defeated by
the aborigines' refusing to tell the truth
and shielding the violators of the law.
He operated mostly under the state
laws in Dotn states.

the Immigration figures of the year
ending July 1, may be taken as show

Interesting facts regarding the in

Immigration officials are not able to
aav whether tnis is a return movement
to America, after the great Canadian
ruRh. or whether It is a steadily grow
lng movement of native Canadians to
the United States, due to greater ex
ploitation of-Amerlcan lands and oppor
tunities. In July, 1905, there were but
46 Immigrants from Canada, and up to
February 1906, this had increased to
only 213 for that month. -

The figures have now reached the
point of from 1.600 to 2,000 or more In

with a total Immigration for the 12
months endlngJuly 1 bf 19,818.
In the opinion of government author
ities, however, the greatest significance
attaches to the steady decline in the
Influx from the Scandinavian and north

from the southern sections of Europe.
