I lng to Indian custom, was Illegal and , void. ' Justice Charles E. Wolvcrton, In his opinion, quotes a provision In the United States statutes which recog' nlzes the validity of Indian marriages and therefore reverses the decision of the lower court, and directs that a decree be entered In accordance with the opinion of the supreme court. Settles a Case From the Reservation in Which One Hundred Flfty-Seven Acres of Improved Land Was the Stake at issue Case of Considera ble Local Interest and Notoriety. The supreme court has forwarded to Major Moorhouse a derision in the case of Agnes Knlyton hy Louise Kalyton. her guardian, appellant, vs. Mary Kalyton et nl., respondents, In which H. J. Iienn is the attorney for the appellant and T G. Haliey for the respondents. The case was tried In the circuit court before Judge AV. It. Ellis, and a decision rendered In tavor of the defendant from which the plaintiff appeals. The case involves the ownership of 157 acres of land on tho reserva tion, and was brought by the plaintiff. who alleged that she was the wife of Joe Kalyton, deceased, and that Agnes was his child and heir. Mary Kaly ton, the defendant, was the sister of the deceased and claimed that she was the heir on the ground that the child was illegitimate and therefore had no claim. She took liossesslon of the land and of titC rents, and to this, objection was made. ' The defense further claimed that as allotees of land Kalyton and tho mother were citizens of the state, and therefore the marriage accord- OLD-TIMER IN TOWN. O.

Long Creek Eagle. Senator C. J. Smith Is In receipt of n letter from Senator T. H. Johnson, of Wasco county, the author of the portage bill, that casts an entirely no wllght on the matter of the port- ago repeal discussion and the things that have boon said by the Portland pacrs on the subject. Misquoted by Oregonlan. In this letter, under date of Decern ber 11, Mr. Johnson says; "I have been wrongly quoted In the Portland Oregonlan as to my attitude towardB the portago measure. I am not In fa vor of Its rejieal, and never have been. I hope that all Eastern Oregon will stand solid for the portage bill, and It Is sure to win. I mot the gov ernor while in Portland, and he is right In Hue with us, and while lie wnuts a short session, I think that he would not object to a bill being In troduced appropriating $50,000 addi tional towards securing the right of way for the portage road. "I went to Portland with Represen tative Wheeldon to meet Major Lang flt, who is In charge of the govern ment work, and he Is of the opinion that both the portago and the canal can he built without one Interfering with the other, nnd not only that, but the portage rond would be of great benefit in the construction of the ca nal. Major Langflt assures me that the work on the road could be begun as soon as the right of way is secured. I have met the Scufcrt brothers, of The Dalles, and nil of the land- owners along the proposed right of way with tho exception of Mr. Tnft. and I think that J 23,000 would buy the right to build the road. "Do not hesitate to write to any of the members of tho house, or the sen ate In Eastern Oregon who might be doubtful on the subject, and urge them to take a stand agatnHt the re peal," Juggled Interviews. By this it would seem that the re puted Interviews in tho Portland pa pers had been in the Interest of the powers who are flguiing against the road for their own gain, and against the interests of the state, and this part of the state in particular. Senator Johnson was confused, whether intentionally or not, with the representative of the same name from another county, who was In fa vor of the repeal, and this fact hns been used in the influencing of those who were not sure of their stand In the matter. n m.
