Frank Seufert, wealthy president of the Seufert Brothers cannery at The Dalies, camff into the federal court today with a claim that the old Indian treaty with the Yakima tribe did not give them the right to fish on the Oregon shore of the Columbia!, as a de fense against charges that he, by threats and actual violence,! has at tempted to drive Sam Williams, ah Indian, from Williams old fishing grounds above Three Mile ' rapids on the Columbia. With this argument, backed by an other to the effect that the treaty really granted Indians privileges to fish with spear and dip net and .none other, Seufert, through his attorneys, asked by motion for the dismissal of the government's suit Seufert is" rep resented by Judge A. S. Bennet and Judge R. R. Butler of The Dalles, and Williams, a government ward, 'by Dep uty United States Attorney Rankin. I When the latter point was argued by Bennett, Federal Judge Wolverton, be fore whom the cause is being tried, was moved to exclaim: , i "To hold Indians to such fishing methods would deny them of the right to progress and civilization." In a treaty made by the Indians In 1855, they are allowed , the right to fish at their usual and accustomed places.: .The question In point Is whether the spot selected and fished on for years by I Williams or other In dians is embraced in fishing rights of the treaty or are confined to the northern shore of the Columbia. The government says it does and the defendants declare it does, not Judge Wolverton decided that the government had standing in court and overruled the motion for dismissal. Takine of testimony for the govern ment will begin this afternoon. In presenting his case this forenoon, Rankin charged that Seufert Sr., his son, or their employes, repeatedly harassed Williams, and cut his fishing sebw loose into the rapids at various times. It was also brought out that Williams is a poor Indian, and claim ant of only one fishing place, while Seufert owns a score. , POIiJ SKIRMISH AGANSTCANN RYMAN liethei dining 1 m a con&enial company Ji3fmg iT-rarV Ifix . you'll, enjoy the delicious '2Pjft QOTStI''"' JljJ i menu the refined envi- 4?ffrliSln A L&pJ xonment at i ( ( r $ff "SjljjnTg ' I Only the best of every-'p? flyjScL thing graces the tables - , itfS'O : Club Luncheon 12 to 2 WV 'KaCy ?h Afternoon Tea 3:30 -6 4MBt I ITISBSIS V Gria Service to 1 A.

I have nothing to say about the tone of of the American note or the American position ; 1 am going to leave that to the president. C. C; Colt, president of the Chamber of. Commerce I consider the note ab solutely fair arid right Every ioyal citizen should stand behind the presi dent I am for peace by all honorable methods, and do not believe war will come of the present situation. Every citizen, however, should back the presi dent to the limit C. N. McArthur, member of con gress I believe the people should back up the president in whatever he does. Vote Considered Zaix. C. Henri Labbe, attorney, consul of France and consular agent of Belgium I have the utmost confidence in the president as an American. His note is fair and correct. T deplore those things which make for bad feeling be tween this country and others. The French, in the United States have ob served a strict neutrality, but I am sorry to say some of the Americans of German extraction have not been as careful as they should be. Every citi zen should help the United States; not make her position more 'difficult I read last week of a Portland man whs gave 850 to the German Red Cross as a means of celebrating the sinking of the Lusitania. It' ia such things as these that should be avoided, in order not to "make the position of the Ameri can nation more difficult than it now is. The president's position in his note Is absolutely correct. Position. Zs Commended, E. G. Crawford, vice president Lum bermen National bank Both the pres fdent's note and the position- he takes are to be commended. I regard the note as an able document, that most all of us can concur in, especially those who are' more conservative and not hot headed, and who, do not seek to plunge this country, into war. The note is firm and dignified and states the American position clearly. j W. F. Woodward, secretary treasur er Woodard. Clarke & Co. The note Is firm, dignified and will be upheld by the country generally. No matter what the v issue finally may be, he can. rest assured the nation will sup port him as a unit The note" should meet the view of - every man, woman or child who has the best interests of the nation at heart.

The. cabinet members were greatly pleased at the reception given the note by the people of the country and this was interpreted as f meaning that whatever j the but come, the administration- has the solid public sentiment' behind it v At the war and navy departments It was emphasized i that no effort had been made to put either the army or the navy on a war footing. !

Germany has never hesitated to change her attitude and policies. It is realized that should Germany meet the United States openly and frankly and declare her past policy to be wrong, a wave Of German senti ment would sweep America. Inci dentally attention is called to the fact that Holland and the United States are on most intimate terms, and Hol 11 SHIS Selling Mill-to-Man Means Lower Price PI m To You The high-cost of living is largely aproduct of our business methods. ! i !
