After Harvest Checkered Career
of Davis.
"I have been in every town In the
Northwest during the past winter,
from Suinpter to Bremerton, and
there Is less respect for the laws In
Pendleton than in any other place I
have visited." - said Jack Davis, the
well known Baker City gambler, who
left Pendleton last night for Tonopah,
New. after a few days in this city.
"There are at least 30 games of dif
ferent kinds running wide open In
Pendleton saloons. c;gar stores and
club room faro, roulette and all
kinds of poker and owing to the large
number of professional gamblers In
Pendleton it is a "skin" game
throughout.
"I can't do any business here. I
think I will return after harvest be
gins, when there will be more easy
money in sight. This Is no place for
a gambler now. The worklngmen are
all out on the ranches and at the
sheep camps and will not be In town
much until after the summer is over.
Gambling is a business, you know, and
must be studied.
"I am surprised at the people of
Pendleton as fine a class of business
and professional men as can be found
anywhere In the West. They seem to
be perfectly heedless of the moral
condition of the city.
"While I don't profess to be a saint
myself. ,1 know what morality is. and
I must say that the condition In Pen
dleton now Is something fierce. There
are more hard characters here and
more men without apparent means of
support than In Bremerton, the most
notoriously tough place in the North
west. It is a wonder to me that your
officials, business men and the moral
clement generally would stand for
such rottenness."
Mr. Davis has had a checkered ca
reer. He was educated in Montreal
for the priesthood, and served In a
small church in New York for a
couple of years, fell in love with a
bright Yankee girl, surrendered his
gown" and book and was excommuni
cated.' luid although he married the
girl ami lived happily for a number of
years, he went to the "dogs" after
shp died and has followed the sea,,
served in the Buer army and has
been an adventurer of the boldest and
most picturesque type.
When he can't do anything else, he
gamhles and is said to have amassed
a snug little fortune. Davis is not his
name. He is French extraction but
adopted the name of Jack Davis to
hide his identity, after he fell.
COM. DVT "SNAP" THE SOL'AW.
Englishman Meets With a Surprise on
the Reservation.
A few days ago a prominent Eng
lishman, who Is the bead of one of
the large grain commission firms op
erating In Umatilla county, was riding
over the reservation with the local
asent, and thinking it would be a fine
opportunity to get some photographs,
took along his camera.
As they neared the tepee of Ep-na-shol-a-tuck.
the Englishman spied the
old squaw out in the yard feeding
her chickens from a handful of wheat
held In the corner of her blanket.
Leaping to the ground with kodak
In hand the Londoner made ready to
take a snapshot of the old woman,
hut before he succeeded she quickly
turned her back, pulled her blanket
over her head and made a remark In
good English which shocked the ar
tist, but which could not be repro
duced in print.
Disgusted, surprised' and shocked
at such treatment accorded the heud
of the biggest commission company
operating In Umatilla county, he
climbed Into his buggy and drove on,
saying: "Isn't she a dirty brute,
though?"

NEW BOOKS FOR IDAHO.
ScIiimI Superintendent Is Now Work
ing for Better Text-looks.
The schools' of Idaho are again
wrestling with the text-book problem.
This Is due to the fact that legislation
recommended by the state teachers'
association and the county school
superintendents of the state failed to
receive favorable consideration at the
hands of the legislature, says the
Ijewlston Tribune.
The recommendation was to the ef
fect that a text-book commission he
appointed to make any changes In
the text-books that might be deemed
advisable. It is said the American
Book company, whose contract ex
pires on May IS next, opposed the
commission plan, believing that if the
proposed legislation falfed, the fact
that the company's books were In
general use would be a strong factor
against Introducing the books of
other concerns. The commission
plan having failed, and with tl)e ex
isting contract soon to expire, it can
be seen that opportunity will be open
for the adoption of miscellaneous
books in the different counties. The
state superintendent has realized that
fact and has issued letters to the va
rious county superintendents advis
ing that their best efforts be made
toward the end of permitting as few
changes as possible. Miss McCoy,
the Nez Perce superintendent, Is In
receipt of such a letter, and Is Inclin
ed to approve the plan.
She, however, holds the view that
the American Book company's history
is not satisfactory to many teachers
and that considerable fault is found
also with the company's arithmetic.
Miss McCoy explains that In Instan
ces where the teachers In all the
counties find a change would result
in a benefit sue ha change could be
adopted and the general system thus
not be affected. The state superin
tendent In her letter, strongly sug
gests that the defeat of the commis
sion legislation was due to the Amer
ican Book company and to the work
of paid attorneys.
The state superintendent Is now
working on a new course of study
which will be Issued soon.
