tain tract of land in southeastern Or-

Klamath Indiana is a measure that
' would appear to be an equitable one,
yet the State Journal pronounces it
.. .
fan attempt at robbery. .The . Tort-
land Eitninq Journal states the Ins-
-tory of the matter .with preoiseness
as to-dates, etc, thus:
By an ;-act of Congross approved
- July 2, 18(54, there were granted to
the State of Orceon to aid in the con-
struction of a military wagon road

in IbGO four years prior to tho no- ' , , . . .i
trotiatton of tho Klamath truntv.
lTlio OregotUan also stales the mat-
ter to the samo effect. Tho State
Journal, however, says "tho roaj
'across tho reservation was not con.
structod until during tho summer and cede precipitately, and invoked con
fall of 18C9. and conseounntlv wns 'Uation with her "Southern confed-
. not approved by the Governor until
f , ,
Mate in the year 18C9 or early part of
1870. The road was. however.- i.

survey goes, in the fall of 18C5 across
thU reservation, but tho treaty with
tho Indians fixing tlis boun
joundaries of
the reservation was made prior to
that time, all of which wn tm.W.
tood by tho company at the time of
locating
ng tho route acVoss tho reserva-
tion."
It is a matter that tho l'aclflo coast
"delegation in Congress should inves-
' tigate fully and then do justico to all
-couoerned. If the -810101110111 of the
Portlaud Journal is correct, and wo
-incline to tho belief that it in, then
tho location of this rosorvation . was
virtually tho condemnation of private
property for publio use; and innsmuch
as the lands in dispnto nro tho most
valuable part of tho urant, tho Gov
ernment could do no- less than grant
to tho company and its assigns other
lands in tho placo of them. And if,
. on tho other hand, tho State Journal
lias stated tho matter oorrcetly, and
it shall appear that tho Govornmcnt
lad taken tho initiatory stops toward
etting these lauds aside, and tho road
-company had notice thereof before
they located their road, thoy can have
, no valid claim on them.

Almost all the clothing (or the family, hats,

cabbage, peas, sod scarcely a farmer has
enough for bis own use. And strange to me
in this fine fruit country, but very few have
apples, plums, or pears, either green or dried,
to sell. The orchards seem be neglected
and are dying out throngh carelessness. The
trees are not pruned nor washed with lime
or lye to Kill the insects and prevent the moss
from growing ou them, and tbey are not cul
tivated. Many -one looking orchards are
dying out for want of culture and attention,
and I flud but few being replanted. Why is
ibis r t nut or all kinds, especially when
dried, beart-ajrodd' price. Io the -stores 1
find all kinds of- California dried fruiu for
sale. By makine fraoueot innuirr I find but
few-farmers -who -make enough butter for
toeir own-OSS. tlardly any pretend to stall
and feed their cows, but let tbcm stand out
in the cold rains and almost starve until
they are too poor to give milk. No one
pretends to make any cheese, and hence none
is used except what is imported. This is a
fine grar ing country, healthy for stock, and
I am told well adapted to making cheese and
butter, and yet you cannot buy enough lor
family ote. Three or four cows stalled and
well led will almost keep a family Buprdied
with groceries, for the price of fresh butter
now is irom forty to hity cents per pound.
And even the small item of chickens is
greatly neglected, lo my visit 1 Cud a great
many farmers withoutcbickens and very few
have any r-s for their own use, to say
nothing of, having them to sell. Why is all
this so I Can we attribute S great "deal of
the scarcity ot the articles mentioned to the
wonderful effect of this climate t It is a fact,
a thing not to be met with in any other
State. There must be some cause to pro
duce this aingular effect, and I cannot at-t-ibut
it to anything e.c pi the climate.
Is it ony greut wonder that everybody is
compiaiuing 01 Hard-time a r it is not to
me. 1 lie constant draiu on the country to
pay for imports, lor uln.ost everything used
to eat or wear, takes the money out of the
ewie anu loaves no aurplus. And to meet
tbia eco'rolou expenditure what do tbe peo
ple export f Wheat and wool. Tbe wool,
however, does not amount to anything like
wheat. Wheat, then, is the staple, the
main dependence or Oregoo. A Tory sim
ple operation wrll abow that the wheat crop
will not anything more than meet tbe de
mands of the imports. To produce tbe
wl eat crop it requires the farmers to labor
about six Booths of each -year, -aod the
other six mootbs the greater part of them
spend io idleness. Aod jost aj long m the
present system is carried 00, just so long tbe
country will Save hard tidies.
There is a remedy for all thiss remedy
that will bring plenty of money and flash

f-"t to the farming community io order to
rech this remedy is to go to work ; doot
