THE CURSE.
Perhaps the worst curse in East
ern Oregon is the Malheur Reserva
tion. It is known to the people in
this section that there has not been
an Indian on the above Reservation
from 1878 up to date, yet the depart
ment has been sending supplies
there every year; and only a few days
ago about 25,000 pouuds of freight
left this r)L.ice for the Agency. Now,
do the authorities know that the Re-
.servo is deserted ? Are they putting
fnrpplies chere to sell at auction some
future time and get some of their
"cronies" to buy it in at a low figure
to resell and become wealth, or
what is the object? Now, Carl
SchurtZj the mogul chief, is in San
Erancisco lecturing in Pratt's Hall,
where the people are all sukrouxded
by reservations and Indians. He is
out here looking after the Indians,
but he says he cannot come to Ore
gon or "Washington Territory no
Indians here, you know (?) but must
return home and make a report.
Now, we are of the ojnnion that if
Mr. Schurtz was to be placed on the
"hurricane deck" of some Oregon
cayuse and escorted through the In
dian Reserves throughout Eastern
Oregon, Washington and Idaho that
he would then be able to make a sen
sible report, and we firmly believe
that if the above was done that ere
long the Malheur and Umatilla Res
ervations would be open for settle
ment or else a force sf troops would
be placed atEt. Harney. One or
the otheR should be done. Grant
County is cursed every day on ac
count of the Indian Reserve and we
only have to refer to our cattle men
to find why. How were they treat
ed at Portland, recently ?
It is time that our people were
raising their voices and using their
might to have the department make
some decisive move in regard to the
Indians. As long as the thing is
run as it is the cattle and other stock
men are afraid to invest and we, as
a people and a county are the suff
erers. From a letter received by us, from
one of the settlers of Harney Yalley,
this week, we learn that if the peo
ple are to be harrassed by the U. S.
Marshal and Reservation in the fu
ture, as in the past, that H1G3- will
have to leave there with their stock.
They say grass was never better in
that section but if the stock cannot
use it, it will be a clear loss. Now,
in the name of some one, how lonir
is this damnable and unjust pro
ceeding to last ?
It is a burning shame and the In
terior department should either do
justice to White frontier settlers by
throwing open the Reserve for set
tlement or not act the "dog in the
mangor" about the matter. There
are no Indian stock no where near
to eat the grass and yet the U. S.
authorities will not let our people
use it. It is high time that Schurtx
was removed and some one jmt in
charge that will at least visit thft
section and give an honest report to
the department. Let the people of
Harney Yalley and the whole of
Grant County use every means to
have a just report made and our
people protected.
A few thousand head of stock in
the above Yalley and on the Reser
vation will be worth thousands of
dollars to this county and every man
therein will receive a benefit bv it.
The people of this count' have been
grossLy and sorrowfully abused by
the Indian department and it is
time, yes, it is the duly that every
one of us should use every influence
to cause a change in regard to the do
ings of the authorities in their man
agement of the Malheur Reserva
intlfflinfr w
muu tuuuir it
tion, in this county. Yv e hope that
our exchanges will give the above
subject notice and thereby help a
good cause, not only for the citizens
of this county but of all Oregon.
Eor the last 71 weeks we have la
bored hard to make a success of a pa
per in this county, and wo arc proud
to say we have done so without the. aic
of any one, other thau tho leg.tlmate
financial aid of our advertisers and
subscribers. Every articlo that has sip.
poarcd therein unless put in as an
advertisement nr taken from our ex
changes has been written by ourself
and if any are offended thereby wc are
willing tu make amends if they show
u where we wore wrong. It has been
a great strain on our powers, but yet
we feel that we can now enlarge the
Nkws and make as a great success in
tho future by using a little more encr
gp on our part aided by our patrons as
we have in the past. Wo propose to
use every effort in the future to brhi"
Giant County to tho front and only ask
a full and hearty support as a reward.
