I i .- oHiQTnnv nnumiuc vCaJiiuiuiii ui ilium u Work Will Cos! $3CO0 er Set of 20 Volumes AUTHOR IS II WESTERN J- P. Morgan Will Take 25 Sets at $750,000 to Help Curtia Start the Great Work- The most expensive aud the most ex tensive work ever published in this couatry is to be put forth by Edward . S. Curtis of Seattle, says the Journal. This daring author is a western man who has given the better part ot his life to the study of a bobby wbioh has become too serious to bo longer termed a hobby. At the price of $3000 a set of 20 volumes of $150 each, ouo can get a small idea of the value of this work is to have for the future. Spousored by snob men as President Roosevelt, who pronouuces it "a mouumeut to American constructive scholarship and research ot a value quite uu paralleled," and by John Pietpout Morgan, who has such faith iu its groutuess and value that he has m ado an advance subscription for 25 set9, which means $750,000, to help cover the immonse expense of field work, it cannot fail to have its suc cess. ' Picture the writer of this work spending from 15 to 18 years in camp lite collecting material, engaging most of the time from three to ten assist ants, speuding over $250,000 in col lection of field material only, and covering enough spaoo between him self and assistants to encircle the glot-e 20 times, and you will have some idea of the magnitude of the work. Then conceive a work consisting of 20 volumes with 1500 full page pho togravures and several hand colored plates, together with 20 folio supple ments containing 700 large pictures and 20 etchings, and those who are versed in oooks will have a still better idea of the undertaking and be more appalled with its immensity. That is the work .that Mr. Curtis, who is now in Portland, is do ing and in which be has alreday spent niue years. Mr. Curtis can talk In dian until you become dizzy listening to him. He knows all their names, all their customs, all their beliefs, all their raoial characteristics, all their superstitions and their fears, and he can talk for hours without stopping and without repeating. TOURISTS TO BE PROSECUTED Bailroads Will Take Action Against Those Selling Return Tickets Eastern tourists who sell unused portions of rouud trip tickets will be prosecuted by the Transcontinental Passenger Association as ticket scalp ers under the provisions of an act of 905, which provides a fine of from '00 to $500 and imprisonment from 0 to 60 days. . Two travelers have advertised in Seattle papers that they would sell the return trip portion of a round trip ticket. If each of these tickets ap pear iu the bauds of travelers, tbey will be taken up and the sellers prose cuted under the anti-scalping law. Passenger officials of roads entering Seattle claim that it has been the practice of a number of easterners coming to this ooast to settle or re maiu on a long tour to take advantage of cheap tourist rates offered during the summer. They hare purchased lound trip tickets with the intention ot scalping the unused portion here and makiug a profit on the venture. The prac'iue of otleriug unused tickets for sale has gtown to such proportions that action will have to be taken to protect innocent purchasers of such tickets. Both in Washington and Oregon the railroads have sucoeeded in putting ticket scalpers out of business. The aot of 1905 makes it a misdemeanor for any person to display a sign adver tising any cheap tickets and compels all railroads to display a signed state ment to the effect that an agent is authorized to represent the road. No person is permitted to sell tickets without this authority. NElCES OF UNCLE RUSSELL Two of Bussell Sage's Women Rela tives Generously Remembered. Mis. Stanley Holbtook and Mrs. A. V.
