I" ""' Editorial Comment From The Oregon Press SS YEARS AGO TODAY (Medford Mall-Tribune) September 10 Is an important date in Rogue River valley his tory lor it was on September 10, 1853 just 9fi years ago today that the treaty of peace was sinn ed with the Koguc River Indians. We are Indebted to Mr. J. M. Silencer of this city lor calling our alientlon to the dramatic and Important event which, as he points out. might be considered the base of every property right In the valley, for "on that day the Indians sold their title to all the land from the mouth of the Applegate river to the summit of the Siskiyous, along the divide to Pilot Rock, Ihence along the divide between the Klamath and the Rogue rivets to Mt. Mc Laughlin, and on to the upier Rogue and then west to the head of Jump Off Joe creek and back to the mouth of the Applegate, lor the sum of $),000 "Of this amount $15,000 was to be paid to settlers for damage done by the Indians. $5,0(X) was to be spent for supplies of im mediate need, and the rest to be paid in 6 annual Installments of cattle and supplies." The Indians also agreed to turn in all but 14 of their guns and retire to a reservation about Sams Valley and Table Rock. Mr. Spencer, believing that probably only a small percentage of the people now living In th valley are familiar with the his tory of that long ago period, sup plied the information from which the following condensation Is ta ken. The treaty signing followed months of sporadic conflict and finally full-fledged warfare be tween the Indians, apd settlers and miners up and down Ihei Rogue valley. . Fighting which Immediately preceded the peace arrangement started after an Indian war par ty, passing near the new mining camp of Jacksonville, killed two whites. Farther up the valley, on Nell creek, several settlers had been wounded In a brush with Sis kiyou Indians; Lieutenant Griffin and a small force of soldiers had been ambushed on the Applegate and badly defeated, and on Wil low Springs along the emigrant road, two men had been killed and houses burned. Soldiers were hastily dispatch ed from Fort Jones and Yreka to the south, others from Rose burg on the north, and these with miners and seltlers who enlisted as volunteers, took up quarters at Fort Lane. Across the river In the valley between the bastions of the Ta ble Rocks hundreds of Indians were seen gathering, their out posts and sentries established along the rocky heights. General Lane, mapping the . whiles' stralegy, planned to at tack the savages from front and rear; but the Indians slipped away in the night toward the broken hills along Evans creek. On the morning of August 17, Lieutenant Ely and an advance f;uard of Yreka volunteei-s, fol nwing the Indians' trail up through Sams Valley, were am bushed while eating lunrh and six of their number were killed. Although the Indians tried to rover their retreat by setting the forest aflame. Colonel John Ross with two companies under Lam crick and Miller were sent riding down the river to Evans creek and up that small stream while General Lane with companies led by Alden, Uoodahl and Rhodes, advanced up the river to Trail creek to cut through the old trail and head off the enemy In lhat direction. Lane's scouts finally localed the Indians and they were en gaged near the head of Evans creek. Captain Alden of (he reg ulars fell severe y wounded In the first exchange of fire but Chief Sam's warriors were soon a tier forced to plead for quar ter. An armistice was finally agreed upon, the Indian prom ising to apear at Table Rink within seven days to conclude a treaty of ieaec. It was not until September 10 that the two groups got down to the business of treaty making. During the day long parley .. tween General Lane for the whites and Chiefs Sam and Joe for the Indians an Incident oc curred which nearlv upset the whole proceedings and came near costing the lives of Genera Iane and his small party of officers and interpreter. As the afternoon waned, an In dian runner, out of breath and streaming perspiration, rushed Into the council from the west and alter a gasied harangue in his native tongue, fell exhausted. The assembled Indians became greatly excited, leaping to their feet to seize -ropes and fashion nooses and make threatening ges tures. General I.ane, without display ing excitement, asked what the trouble was. Chief Sam, scarcely controlling his anger, answered that a body of settlers had hang ed an Indian on the Applegate that morning In defiance of the armistice and that his warriors proposed to hang all of the whiles In the council parly in retaliation, fleneral Lane's forces were some distance on the plain below, from the spot where the peace parley was taking place, last under the perpendicular cliffs of Table Rock. Ore. Wed., Sept. 28, 1949 For some moments the lives of the whites hunir in the balance and then Genera Lane, In a calm voice, began to speak. He assur ed the Indians that he would pun ish the armistice breaker but that it would be utterly foolish for the Indians to attack the council par ty. Lane minted out that although they were helpless and could eas ily be slain, nothing could save the Indians from utter extinction In reprisal. The choice was theirs, not his, he said, whether they should live out their lives In peace or be hunted like rabbits from hole to hole, finding no rest except in dealh. Slowly the Indians' anger cool ed as wise counsel prevailed and the treaty was finally signed late In the afternoon. Although a few minor breaches of the peace fol owed, by the fall of 1K54 the Indians confined on the reservation were seemingly reconciled and settlers were rap- Idly carving out homes in the sur rounding country. Ashland and Jacksonville had grown into thriving communities, Althouse creek was a lively mining camp as was also sterling, while over the hill at Yreka and Scotts val ley, mining was in full blast. A short period of time, as time goes, since September 10. 1H5J. but w hat a change could old Chief Sam see today were he to return from the Happy Hunting Grounds to aland on Table Rock and gaze out over the vast domain which he sold for $60,000 only 96 years ago today. Patriotic Pageant Planned At Grand Lodge Of Masons A patriotic pageant will be pre aenled Oct. 15 In the temple of Eugene Lodge No. 11, A. K. and A. M.

Upper arc on map shows present range of U, 8. bombers. B-36's, able to fly 10.000 miles without refueling, could strike any target In Russia and return. em .'; Yiahnett S.

It may produce some new taxes in a drive to balance th- nation's budget. Whether the new tax law will hear any resemblance to Presi dent Truman's now-abandoned 1949 proposal for a $4,000,000,0 0 increase no one now can say. As a general rule, congress is not disposed to raise taxes in an election year which 1950 would be. There were Indications that, while hunting for new sources of revenue, congress may actually reduce some levies probably in the excise list. Some mem bers believe the wartime excise rates to be burdensome both to taxpayers and to business. House speaker Ravburn dis closed the tax bill priority for 19.V) In calling for immediaie house action on a pending mea sure calling for expansion of the government's social security pro gram. The Idea, Rayburn said, Ii to clear the way for the house ways and means committee to tackle overall tax revisions early next year. The speaker did not say de finitely what he expects in the new tax law but he did com ment, significantly, that the go vernment cannot indefinitely con tinue deficit financing that is. borrowing to pay for day-to-day spending. This followed a recent state ment by ways and means chair man Doughton iDNC). top de mocratic tax manager, that "I am opposed to deficit financing except in case of war or serious economic emergency. A balanced budget in the near fiitm-0 in mv miininn. t een- tial to the economic stability and prosperity of the country." Some experts are estimating that the government, in the cur rent fiscal year ending next June 30. will gn'into the red by more than $31,000,000,000. Senator Vandenberg In Michigan Hospital ANN ARBOR.

Professor Hahn's Idea appears to be, their inferiority complex has been re moved and hereafter they can deal with us on the basis of Intel ligent equals. It would follow, of course, that any two INTELLI GENT equals would naturally get together and agree to outlaw such a grisly horror as the atom bomb. IT ii a fascinating theory. Per-1 ,, ,-swr- . . ., . sonally, I'd LOVE to be able to accept it, I can't think of ANY-! THING so comforting as the con viction that NOW we and the Russians can get together and BAN THE BOMB. That would mean that the world our children will live In would be something like the world we have lived In. None of this POOF AND WE'RE GONE stuff that seems to be Inherent In atomic warfare. If from time to time we Just have to go to war and if some of us have to get killed or maimed, it will be a good honest TANGIBLE bullet or shell splinter that does it and not a mushroom-shaped cloud spraying deadly radiation that not only wipes us out but maybe changes the physical shape and presence of generations as yet unborn. To wake up and realize that all that was Just a nightmare would be wonderful. B UT If we are to get together with the Russians and agree to out law the bomb, of which we now at least have more than they have, along with better machines and more know-how to make still more bombs faster, WE MUST HAVE COMPLETE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE RUS SIANS. Otherwise, we'll be walking Into a trap. ... i THIS dispatch comes from Buda pest, in Hungary: "A people's court today sen tenced Leo Rajk, former No. 2 communist, and two of his seven codefendants to die for plotting to supplant Hungary's (communist) government by a regime obedient to Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito." The dispatch concludes: "During the trial, Rajk and the other defendants HAD EAGER LY ADMITTED MOST OF THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THEM AND EVEN ELABO RATED ON THE GOVERN MENT'S CHARGES." ... YOU'VE read, of course, about the Rajk trial. You certainly read all about the trial of Cardinal Mindzenty. You've been reading for years about these trials at which accused Russians grovel in the dirt and make confessions that are too wierd and fantastic for human belief and then go off humbly to be shot against wall You've been puzzled and vague ly terrified by all this. Just as I have. ft OW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE FAITH ENOUGH IN THE COMMUNIST RUSSIANS, WHO DO THINGS LIKE THAT, TO ENTER INTO AN AGREE MENT WITH THEM TO OUT LAW THE BOMB? M AYBE I'm all wrong, but I ihink we'd better keep all the bombs we have, make more as fast as we can, keep on hand enough superior planes to deliver the bombs where they need to be delivered and keep our unmatched industrial establishment which can make all this possible work ing as efficiently as we know how to make it work. I'm afraid this idea that now is the time to get together wit;i the Russians and outlaw The Bomb has too much wishful think ing mixed in with it.
