INDIAN LAIS IRE BECOMING TAXABLE
Due to the policy of 'he government
to eacourage the passing of fee
simple title of Indian lands on the
N'ez Perce reservation to competent
heirs or by sale of Inherited lands, It
is estimated that within a compara
tively short time one-half of the res
ervation section of Xez Perce county
will be subject to taxation, says the
Lewiston Tribune.
The act of May 29, 1903, authoriz
ing the secretary of the Interior to
issue patents in fee simple to pur
chasers of Indian lands under exist
ing laws, is designed to give a more
perfect title to purchasers of these
lands. Heretofore Indians have been
signing deeds before Indian agents
and superintendents in charge of
agencies, and these deeds were ap
proved by the secretary of the Inter
ior. The new law has the effect of
giving a patent in fee to the pur
chaser direct from the government.
On the N'ez Perce reservation about
800 of the original allottees have died
since allotments were made. To many
of these allotments there are numer-
'The lands, or any part thereof, al
lotted to any Indian, or any Inherited
Interest therein, which can be sold
under existing law by authority of
the secretary of the interior, except
the lands In Oklahoma and the states
of Minnesota and South Dakota, may
be sold on the petition of the allottee,
or his heirs on such terms and condi
tions and under such regulations as
the secretary of the interior may pre
scribe, and the lands of a minor, or
of a person deemed incompetent by
the secretary of the interior to pe
tition for himself, may be sold in the
same manner, on the petition of the
natural guardian In the case of In
fants, and In the case of Indtans
deemed incompetent as aforesaid, and
of orphans without a natural guar
dian, on petition of a person designa
ted for the purpose by the secretary
of the Interior. When any Indian
who has heretofore received or who
may hereafter receive, an allotment
of land dies before the expiration of
the trust period, the secretary of the
interior shall ascertain the legal heirs

An airship Is to be one of the head

this car has been known to make sin

Flights will be made each day of

EUROPE'S G It EAT REPUBLIC
CELEBRATES (ill HAT DAY.
Gil .vert Day lit AH tho Year for
World's Gayest City Celebration
Is Tamo Affair lYoiu Stnmlxlnt
of Killed and Wounded as Coin
jmred Willi America's July Fourth.
Paris, July 14. This Is the day
France celebrates the glorious, the
immortal Fourteenth of July the an
niversary of the fall of the Hastlle.
There are other holidays in Eur
ope's great republic, and other feto
days in the gayest city of tho world,
but none compare with that of today.
All the exuberant frivolity and vivac
ity of the French people will find an
outlet before the hour of midnight
strikes tonight.
Yet, for all of this, the celebration
of "Quartorze Juliette' 'is a model of
peace and quiet compared with the
American Fourth. The French peo
ple remember the event which they
celebrate and the most ignorant peas
ant Is acquainted with the full details
of the fall of the Bastile and the rise
of Llberte, Fraternite et Egallte. Nor
do the French consider It necessary
to transform their annual patriotic
celebration Into a wholesale slaugh
ter of the Innocents. There Is fun,
lots of It, but In It the diabolical In
ventions of the fireworks manufactur
ers finds no part.
The French today will eat, drink
and be merry. They will dance and
romp, and listen to patriotic addresses
and thrill to the music of many bands
and the voices of gifted orators. They
will parade through the streets,
laughing and shouting, but they will
not kill.
Today's celebration opened, as usu
al, with a military review at Long
champs, in which President Fallleres
participated. Wreaths were placed
on the monuments of all the French
national heroes. The only worry of
the police is over the possibilities of
a clash between the Dreyfus and anti
Dreyfus factions, both of which will
hold demonstrations today.
But taken by and large. France is
today as contented a nation as exists
on earth, and the people are as a
whole satisfied with their lot and
pleased with their government. It
Is In all earnestness that they are to
day shouting "Vlvl la republlque."
The Bonapartes and Bourbons are all
but forgotten today and the loyal sons
of the natlofi are celebrating as If
France had always been a republic
and will always be a republic.
The handful of nobles and royalists
may grind their teeth In rage, but to
day Is the day of the people, and
their commoner president. And so
the bands play the national airs, and
the people dance, and sing such rude
songs as this:
"Louis was the king of France before
the revolution;
They cut off his head, which hurt his
constitution."

Further, France has a highly train
ed and numerous technical corps, the
oldest in the world, so efficient that
tne railroad companies themselves
draw their leading operatin
officers from them. For a Ion
time, moreover, it has had a sma
state railroad systems (1811 miles in
1906), which, though consistin
chiefly of lines once chartered to com
panles, but so unprofitable that the
companies were unable to complete
them, was yet an admirable school of
practice for the government officers,
In 1906 this state system earned to.
909 gross and 11526 net per mile.
The systems of the six great com
panies may be described as. with one
exception (the Southern), sections of
a circle having its center at Paris. The
Western lines reach the coast from
Dieppe south to Brest, Including the
great port of Havre. Its traffic has
been unfavorably affected by the lm
provement of the Seine below Paris,
This was done at great expense, and
no tolls are Imposed.
France Is surrounded on all sides
but on (Spain) by state railroad sys'
terns. In Belgium and Germany the
governments have long worked the
railroads; In Switzerland and Italy
the state operation began recently.
There has long been a strong party
In France ln favor of state operation
which early In the '80s seemed likely
to prevail, but was avoided by new
contracts with the companies, which
then took on new obligations and had
their concessions extended.
Should results on the Western sys
tem Improve notably under the state,
other systems will probably be requir
ed; but France needs to move cau
tiously in assuming any additional fi
nancial obligations.

Who Pays the Bills?
Dul you ever ask yourself who really pays the
advertising bills?
By this we mean who actually foots tho bills
for publicity of business firms and others who
purchase space in the newspapers?
Your first impulse, of course, is to reply that
tho advertiser pays them. But this is not the
case. Tho advertiser incurs no real expense in
tho matter, for tho cost of his advertisement is,
as a rule, returned to him in largely increased
profits.
Then who does pay the bills?
Tho purchaser?
Xo; certainly not. The purchaser profits by
the advertising, for ho buys cheaper and gets a
fresher and better assortment of goods.
Who, then, pays the merchant's advertising
bills?
Why, the merchant who docs not seek newspa
per publicity. The man who draws himself into
his shell, like the snail, and declines all induce
ments to advertise. The non-advertiser foots the
advertisers bills, as a large proportion of the
money ho loses through his lack of nerve and en
terprise finds its way, directly or indirectly, into
tho pockets of his more business-like competi
tor. Tho snail-like merchant "pays the freight" in
another way, for his stock depreciates and event
ually hangs like lead on his hands until disaster
stares him in the face.
These are days when all men who would suc
ceed must advertise, and those who do not are
almost certain to fall bv the wavside. Fourth
