DID GOOD WORK
The Nationul Irrigation Con
gress that just closed a session
at Portland did much valuable
work for the cause of irrigation.
One of the greatest things it
accomplished was to snow under
the land grabbers proposition
tbat the congress of the United
State ajaend . the present law,
which provides that the govern
taant will furnish water to no
one for more than one hundred
sixty acres. The proposed
mend men t, if made, will
change the purpose of the law
which is to provide homes foi
the many, into a contrivance to
make the holders of Urge tracts
of land acquired by wagon road
companies, for touds tbey never
built tu Eastern Oregon, ricb.
e -
nd purchasers of vast tracts of
realy desert lands, under the
swamp land acts,, wealthy by
reason of the water the govern
inent will at great expense cou-
dnct on it.
ABOUT INDIANS
There were 263,233 Indians
n the u o on reservations iii
903. The reservations that
year in the aggregate had sn
area of 117,420 sqiare miles.
n 1903 there were, according to
the Anuual Report of the Com
missioner of Indian, Affairs,
3,924 Indians iu Oregon occupy
ing reservations tbat in tb
aggregate coyer Z,)il tquare
miles.
There is no reliable datta
from which any satisfactory
conclusion can be drawn as to
the number of Indians in Amer
ioa when discovered by Colum
bus in 1492. Dr Robert Brown
is quoted iu the Chambers Ea
oyoloj iu iia, edition of 1879, as
giving some approximate statis
tics which give the total Indian
population of North Aineric
about a century ago at .110,000
The geueral notion of the num
ber of Indians is doub'.less an
exaggerated one, as will be man
ifest from a close readiug of the
journals and notes of early ex
plorers, such as Catliu, Bonne
ville, George Rogers Clark aui
his brother William wbo we ar
so appropiately honoring today.

trails tbey bad to follow from
one village to anotber will nee
tbat there never could have
been "the countless hordes of
savagea" tbat imaginative
writers htve peopled the webt
with.
The general beliel that the
Indian race is fiat decreeing is
not born out by observation or
count. lu 1890 there were
243,524 Itidiaus on reservations
iu the United Stales, and in
1903 there were 263,233 a gain
in thirteen years of 19,709.

ing congratulations from all
over the world for bis active
part in the peace negotiations
that have resulted ia two of the
leading nations of the world Uy
