Martin, an educated Indian heir of his father. John Martin, has brought suit against John J. McKoln, the superintendent In charge of the Umatilla agency, to test the legality of a rule established by commission er of Indian affairs regarding the dis position of the proceeds of the sale of heirship lands. The rule provides that such proceeds shall be paid to the heir In monthly payments of 111 each upon authority of the agent only, and In case of larger amounts It must be upon epeclnl authority of the com missioner of Indian affairs. Martin contends that under the law providing for the sale of heirship lands the secretary has no authority to make rules governing the disposition of the proceeds of the sale after tho land has once been sold, and that the au thority of the secretary ends when ever he approves a deed. The su perintendent Is acting entirely under Instructions given him by the depart ment, and the action Is brought for the purpose of determining the auth ority of the Indian department to make such a rule. The determination of this suit Is of considerable Import ance to many of the Indians who are desirous of selling their Inherited lands. A new A. F. A A. M. lodge has hoen Instituted at Clarkston.

Portland. Sept. 16. Driven almost to despair by the conduct of his wife and 15-year-old girl, who nightly fre quent the dance hall ai Twenty-seventh and Thurmnn streets, John Mink applied to the police last night to as sist him In rescuing his daughter from what he believes Is ruin. iVlth tears In his eyes Mink told Sergeant Baty that he could do nothing with his duughter because she was protected by her mother. Mink told the police last night that he had gone to the dnncc hall and wus not allowed to see his daughter. He said that the crowd of ruffians hanging around the place had threat ened him with harm If he did not leave. "On with this man the dance hall," was the order given Patrolman Thorpe by Sergeant Katy, "and force that girl to accompany him home. Pay no attention whatever V the mother. If you have trouble let me know, and we will call In every man from the Upshur station detail and If necessary raid the place and clean It out for one night, anyhow." So dehunchlng has grown the in fluences of three dance halls near the entrance to the fair grounds that Chief of Police Orltxmacher has de termined to axk Mayor Lane to allow him to use summary measures In sup pressing them. As no liquor is sold on the premises, althougn all are not far from groggerles and one. Is across the street from a saloon, the regular dance hall license of $10 a night can not be collected. For this reason the authorities will have to adopt sum mary measures If tho places are to be put out of business. "I have made a full report to Chief Urllxinachor of what occurred last night." said Acting Captain Slover. "He Is as eager to have something done as I am. Men even carry liquor to these dance halls In bottles and give It to girls. "Round dances comprise the nightly program. I have referred to them as hugging matches set to music, but they are really worse than that. Hulu-hulu, tandem, would better describe the per formances seen there.

Shoshoiio County Starts a How Tlutt May Ho Endless. Boise, Sept. 16. A matter which threatens to Involve the state of Idaho In a long scries of suits by the various counties of tho statu has been brought to the attention of the state adminis tration by the county commissioners of Shoshone county. Contending that the sum the state board of cquuliza tlon fixed as Shoshone county's share of the state tux is unconstitutional, the board of commissioners of that coun ty have declined to consider the entire sum when fixing the county levy for 1905. According to the opinion of the board and the county attorney of Sho shone county the amount asked as Its share of thu state tax exceeds the constitutional limit by over $10,000, and this sum was eliminated In com puting the county levy. The constitution provides in section 9, article 7, that, when the assessed valuation of the state exceeds the sum of 150,000 the levy for state pur poses shall not exceed five mills. The assessed valuation of Idaho la approx imately $75,000,000. The assessed valuation of Shoshone county for 1905 is $6,148,208.76, and a five mill levy on this sum would amount to $30, 741.04. According to the apportion ment made by the stute board of equalization Shoshone's share of the suite tax Is $41,445.05. being $10, 704.41 In excess of the constitutional limitation. Tho county authorities contend that Shoshone should not pay this large sum In excess of the limit, and In computing the county levy, the commissioners arranged to raise only $30,741.04 for the state. Instead of $41,445.05. If the contention of the commission ers and county attorney of Shoshone are correct, every county In the state will be similarly affected, although not to the same extent c Shoshone. (hoshone's assessed valuation is ap proximately one-twltih thai o the whole stat ACTION PUT OFF I'LVNS ARE NOT YET FI LLY" WORKED OCT.

Though Thoy Will Not Defeat tlio Projtx't Proposition is Mado by Portland Company to Pave Main and Court Streets With Bl tulitlilc, at 82.25 Per Square Yard. Once more the matter of ordering the macadamizing of Alta street has been postponed, though the same will doubtless be dono at the regular meet ing of the council next Wednesday. At tho adjourned session of the' council held yesterday afternoon, reso lutions were presented asking for the Improvement of Alta street from Cot tonwood to Court, and from Main to Chestnut. However, the subject of parking had not been fully worked out by the committee, and as a result the two resolutions were deferred to the committee with orders to report next Wednesday. The original plans were to macad amize a strip 3H feet wldo In the cen ter of the street, and then to leave a four-foot park on each side. This park was to be banked by a plank on the outer edge, and the Improvement of the park left entirely to the resi dents. However, It was found that there would bo objection to this plan on Kast Alta street, and also on west Alta between Main and Garden streets, as the same would Interfere with the business of the shops along the street. A proposition was also made to the council yesterday by A. M. Shannon of the Wurreii Construction company, of Portland. It was to Improve Main and Court streets with bltultthlc pavement, which ho stated could be done for the price of $2.25 per square yard, which he stated would be guar anteed to last for 10 years. No action was taken on the proposition by the council. CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET. Quotations Prom tlio Greatem Wheat Market In the United States. Chicago, Sept. 16.
