PLENTY OF WHISKEY SPOKANE JIM TEIXS Of WHISKEY PEDDLING. Well Knoun Umatilla Complains That Indians Cunnot Buy WluLskey ut 50 Cents Per Pint, the Smne Price Charged Wlilte Men Young Initims Drink Mure Freely Tlian I'ontn-rly. Because It 1st Easy to Se cure the liquor. "Plenty whiskey for Injun; plenty plenty," said Spokane Jim, the well known Umatilla this afternoon, to the East Oregonian. "Injun have plenty money git plenty whiskey. Git 'em everywhere White man charge Injun maybe Jl for pint; saloon charge white man 50 cents for pint. White man steal 50 cents from Injun every time he sell 'em whiskey. What's the matter In jun no get pint for 50 cents?" This is the philosophical view taken by Spokane Jim, on the whiskey ped dling traffic. The cause of Jim's moralizing was the sight of two Indian men and one Indian woman leaving town this fore noon so drunk that all reeled on their , horses and the woman was held on her horse by her husband who rode by her side. When questioned as to where they got the whiskey, he said there were white men who hung around Pen dleton saloons who did nothing else than sell whiskey to Indians. He said the saloon keepers did not do it for fear of losing their licenses but they kept these hoboes around, who would carry on the traffic and divide the profits with the saloons. loung Injuns heap drink now; few years ago young Injuns no drink White man say heap good whiskey, Injun taste him; Injun say 'yes, purty good,' and buy bottle. White man make 50 cents on bottle tell Injun keep still." Spokane Jim says the young Indians are now drinking mc re than f ?rmerly because of the with whkh they can procu-e the whiskey. While Jim Is no saint himself, yet he deplores the decadence of his race and continued: "When young Injun drink he no go to school; he fight, run away from home, sell his horse, steal another man's horse, make him bad Injun. Few years ago, when young men no drink, heap good boys; go to school, herd horses, maybe work on farm, make money and no stay In jail. Now no good. Like to stay In town may be find bottle, get drunk, run him horse mil t'.ht when he get home." He declares it is easier to get large quantities of whiskey for In dians in Pendleton now than it has Ren I Estate Transfers. Mary E. Olcot to A. S. Quant, lots 1. 2. 3 and 4. in block D.

"Marriage of Kitty." "The Marriage of Kitty," a comedy written by Charles E. Lennox, will be seen at the Fraz'er on April 7, when Jules Murray's Metropolitan company, headed by Max Flgman, will appear. The company Is playing return dates in nearby cities and a conclusive proof of the popular esti mation of this merry comedy Is found in the' fact that the return engage ments have invariably resulted in In creased attendance. The play Is said to be wholesome, refined, full of wit, epigram and ludicrous situations. Wooden Water Mains. The city council yesterday pur chased 6000 feet of four-Inch wood pipe to be used to extend the water mains across the railroad track.

TO COLLECT BACK The petitions for the initiative upon a bill to provide for the assessment and collection of taxes upon property In this state, which has never been assessed before, dating back as far as 1S60, have been completed so far as the drafting of the same is concerned, and as soon as they can be printed they will be sent out for circulation before the public, says the Salem Statesman.. Since the publication of the news laht the petitions were being prepared, In the Statesman of Tuesday, Messrs. W. It. and Webster Holmes, who have drawn the petitions and bill at the Instigation of prominent taxpay ers, have been urged to complete them In order that they may be put in. cir culation. There is no need of hurry, thowever, as petitions for the initiative upon any law may be filed with the secretary of state up to not less than four months before the election at which they are to be voted upon takes place. As previously stated. If enacted Into a law this bill will have the effect of collecting 'taxes upon all lands which have not been assessed heretofore, In cluding thousands of acres of the best agricultural and timbered lands ill the state, which were granted to the I'Mlroad and wagon road companies by an act of congress In 1S6G. and will enrich the common school fund, Into which all proceeds above expenses of assessment and collection of such taxes will revert, to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Governor Chamberlain, in his mes sage to the legislature of 1905, recom mended that steps be taken by that body looking to the collection of back taxes upon all property which had not been placed on the assessment rolls. ECLIPSE IN AUGUST. Sun Will Be Totally Dni'kcnetl on August 29. ' The moon is going to totally blot out the sun this year, the date of which performance Is set for August 29.

They are haggling over that quarter, as It were. While any number of engagements wore made to later Insr.ect herds, with an understanding that a pur-, chase would be made If proved satisfactory, but the cattle very few SALE Store TAXES IN OREGON Beside the government railroad grants there are also thousands ot acres of land which were purchased from the state which have escaped taxation In tne past because tnere had never been any public record of title upon which they could be assessed. Many owners of such state land have procured title to their property but have not placed their deeds on record and have thus escaped taxation. Governor Chamberlain says, however, that there Is a complete record of ti tle to nil state lands sold In the past kept In the office of the clerk of the state land hoard to which the asses sors of the different counties have free access for the purpose of listing the same and they are privileged to do so nt any time they see fit. More than 1,000,000 acres are em braced in the grants of the Oregon and California company, the Oregon Central, now int-rged with the Ore gon and California: the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Milling road, and the Corvallls and Yaqulnu Bay road. The last two are wagon road com panies. In the Oregon City land dis trict these grants are In the counties of Clackamas. Multnomah, Yamhill, Washington, Tillamook. Polk, Linn, Marion. Benton, Lincoln and Colum bia. Only one county In the district, Clatsop, is excepted. Eighty town ships are embraced in the Oregon Central and the Oregon and Califor nia Railroad company grant. As every odd section was given to the company, It had 1440 sections, or 921,000 acres. The Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Military road grant Included 92,160 ncres, and the Corvallls and Yaqulna Bay road grant 115,200 acres, a grand total of 1,129, 960 acres. therefor $17. It Is also said that Mr. Meyer received $22 for his 3s, while no details could be learned of the price he received for his yearlings. It was also generally understood that J. M. Boardman of Montana, has virtually concluded negotiations whereby he purchases 6000 head of 2s from above the line, paying there for $21. This, however, Is not offi cial. Mr. Boardman left for Dallas last night with Colonel Slaughter, whose guest he will be while In that city. Anoter deal was almost closed lust night wherein 6000 head of 3s and 4s from below the line will change hands. ' Numerous small trades are report ed to have been made conditionally, but the details cannot be obtained. How Many Miles of Wagon Road? How many miles of public high ways are there in Walla Walla coun ty 7 Probably not one man out of every thousand In the county could answer the question with any degree of accuracy, and even County Sur veyor Loehr could not give the exact number of miles of roadway unless he went over the different roads with his surveying kit.
