NOT A COMPROMISE AT ALL. TILE long promised and anxiously awaited "compro mise" proposition from M. R Hanley was submitted to the council Monday by A. 12. Reames, his attorney. It is substantially as follows: Proposition No. 1. Mr. Hanley will accept $15,000 and the 300 inches of water owned by the city, purchased from the Pish Lake Ditch Companv. Proposition No. 2. Air. Hanley will settle for $25,000, with the privilege of using the 300 inches of water in Little Butte until the city needs it. In. both propositions Mr. Hanley tenders the city the Wasson canyon water and right of way. This is no compromise at all, but a poorer proposition for the city than if the original contract with Mr. Hanley were carried out. It is a distinct disappointment to those who have earnestly worked to secure an amicable adjust- I - 111 I J The Mall Tribune Is on sale at thei -tlitmuv UUU ItJJ..

Tho Indians of that vicinity, belong ing to the Shasta tribe, were very numerous, but were divided into sev eral bnnds. They occupied ShaBta and Scott valleys, and the banks of tho Klamath river adjacent. They had been separated from tho Rogue Ulvers only recently owing to the death of their principal chief. There Is no doubt that these tribes were one and undivided previously, but now they were broken up and formed several communities, each with Its own chief. At Yreka old Tolo was chief, an always firm friends and ally of the whites; In Scott valley Tyee John, a son of the deceased j Bill Hanley is a bifj man so we don't believe that was his comprom ise.

THE THUNDER STORM. .'Snow is going fast from the moun tains nnd it is probable that Crater ' Lake can be reached a month earlier - than usual. The Ballinger inquiry still drags Us weary way. All it has done so far is to elect every one concerned to ..the Ananias club. A thunder storm is a rare occurrence in the Rogue River Valley. It lias been nianv vears since a storm of equal severity to that of Mondav visited this section. In the mountains, during the summer months, they occur frequently and many a stately pine or tir stands a withered emblem of the lightning's blast. In the vallev we fre quently hear the distant "roll of the thunder, but seldom does the lightning flash about us. Sunday was an unusually hot day for this period of year, which probably accounts for the following electrical storm, which seems to have centered at Gold Ray. Accom panying the electric discharges came a torrent of rain. In fifteen minutes half an inch of downpour Hooded the fields, while hail in some sections fell. mi i ? i j . f r rue ram uiu an imioia amount or goou, insuring line grain crops, benefiting the newly planted orchards, set tling the dust and clarifying the atmosphere. Not enough hail fell to damage the voung fruit. All in all, nature seems to be exercising particular care .ir r n a n r Tfl over this, her favored section, this season.

Tyee 1)111; on tho Siskiyou mountains and about the head of tho Applegate, Tlpsu (commonly called Tlpslo) Tyee (boarded, or hairy chief.) On Kogue Ulver wero gathered tho In dians who bore the name, numbering, according to the best evidence, about GOO souls. They wore broken up Into tribal communities of greater or less Importance and, as boforo re marked, all owed a quasi allcglanco to Joe and Sam, chiefs of tho Table Uock band, the main division of tho tribe. On Apnlegato crock dwelt Chief John, a redoubtable warrior j who properly fills more spaco in his-; tory than any other Oregon Indian,: excepting, perhaps, Kam-a-l-a-kun, the colebrated wnrrlor of tho Yakl-( mas, and , Peo-peo-mux-mux, tho great chief of the Walla Wallas. John's clan, tho Kch-ka-taw-a. was numerically small; not moro than fifty braves followed him to war, but theso, under such a leader, moro than made up for lack of numbers, by courage, strategy, and Indomitable ( perseverance. We shall havo much to say of this wily and sagacious ' chief, when treating of tho events of tho war of 1855-56. Another prominent Indian was Ltmpy so called by the whites who was of tho Haw-quo-e-hav-took, a rather moro numerous band, dwelling In tho region drained by tho Illinois rlvor. His character was well known to the whites, by reason of his taking part In hostilities against them on nil pos sible occasions. The acts of Llmpy and John have become In a great measuro confounded In most people's recollections, and to tho Illinois In dians are attributed many acts and exploits of which tho blame or crodlt should be given to tho Applegate band. Georgo, another nnd less prominent sub-chief, dwelt upon tho Rogue IMver below Vannoyr8 ferry. His people united on accaslon with those of Llmpy, and together made up an active and dangerous force. (To bo Continued Tomorrow.) LN HoftUiaai I able compromise and this is not. It proposition .No. 1 was accepted, the city will give $15,000 and its 300 inches, purchased at a cost of $lo,000 xc from the Fish Lake Company, for Mr. Hanley 's 300 ".'"I"" "3c I mclies, a total or $du,uuu lor dUU mcues. rue saving int I pipe will amount to $6,000 leaving a net cost to the citv of If proposition number 2 is accepted, the citv will pav $25,000 to Mr. Hanley for 300 inches, $15,000 tb the Fish Lake Company for 300 inches, and turn over to Mr. Han ley for use indefinitely the latter 300 inches. In other words, the city gives to Mr. Hanley the use of half its water and pays interest on the purchase price for Mr. Hanley 's benefit in return for $2,500 interest alleged to be due Mr. Hanley under his original contract. The water owned by the city is more valuable to Mr. Hanley than "Wasson Canyon water, for it can be diverted into the new liicrli lino dif oh ihnt ho 1ms onnstvuofpfl. mid Wasson Canyou water oaunot be. If he would hwS. asbuii v-uuyou waiur xor uie city s water on an even basis, he would be the gainer. The city would probably not object to paving him as a bonus the $6,000 or $6,500 saved in pipe line. Some such proposal as this was looked for. Last fall Mi-. Hanlev offered to take $17,000 for his contract. Now he wants $25,000 and, in addition, the use of the city's water, for the same thing. And yet he calls it a fail compromise. Under the circumstances the onlv thing the citv can do is to proceed with its condemnation suit, secure a right- of-way, put up a bond and proceed with work as contem plated. If the courts eventually decide the contract with Mi. Hanley a valid one, the city will then have to pay the $25,000 called for and the interest, but it will receive another 300 inches of water, which can be rented or sold at a profit. The citv council stands readv to accept auv reasonable compromise but Mr. Hanlev and Mr. Reames have not, in its opinion, offered one. Nov have they, in the opinion or the citizens, who have striven to bring about an adjust ment outside the court. The failure to reach an amicable settlement does not now lie with the city council, but with Mr. Hanley and his attorney, Mr. Reames.
