' CHIEFS NOT BOUND In one respe:t the Indians held clearer views on the scope and purpose of law than the whites, and In their observance thereof they had no buncomb theories about the laws being made to bind all alike to its observance. Their theory and practice harmonized. In their theory laws were made to to enable the chiefs to con trol the "culties tiiacums" common people of their tribe, and left the chiefs to do as they pleased unhampered by law. The white in Oregon were for a long time divided somewhat on this point, a "moss back" few vaguely holding that officials were, or oightto be, governed by the same law as the common folks. But public opinion, if not openly opposed to the "moesbeck's" theory, uncomplain ingly acquiesced in the practice 6f Oregon officials so diametrically opposite to the mossback" theory that it amounted to a ratification of the Indian theory, that lam s are madi to operate solely on th i co nmon people, and ou&ht not to be invoked to bother officials. Ssmething over forty year ago th Hon. T. W. Davenport wa United States Indian agent at the Umatilla reservation. One of the head chiefs gave him much oothsr by drinking whiskey and gambling. i javenport called the festive chief before him to lecture him on his wayward con duct. The chief came decked out in an eagle akin 'cap, flaunting feathers, bright beads and long strings of bears' claws and elks' teeth, and standing up, with great dignity inquired; "Icta mica tica comtux," (what do you want to know). . , t , , Some what rattled by the .manifestation of power wad greatness, the agent, timidly replied "I ( hear complaint about you drinking whiskey, gambling and mis treating! the Indiana claiming h right to, make them pay for grazing their stock and .digging - camas on the reservation, "Is this true? Do you know that th law forbids these things?" The chief touches hi agl akin cap, ' rattled the . elkteetb. and bear claws, and. very emphatically said;. "I do alf th thing you have named whes it pleases me so o do. I am chief, Whu can say what I shall or shall not do? Th law you mention ie no rope to hnd me.Law are made to nabl th chief to govern hie people and they must obey them.lt is a "tennas" (little chief) with a Klutchman turn turn," (woman's he.rt) that asks the law, a piace of paper that "kluchmen", (women) have ,wra pped in sheepskin, to tel him what to da "I am a big chief, no law tells me whit I must or must not do." t The tribe stood by the chief, and were ready to raise the . warwhoop; holding that their tribal rights war infringed upon by th agent when he attempted to curtail th power of their chief and scold him for getting drunk or extorting fees for pasturing' or digging camas on the tribal grounds because all th other chiefs did the same and had done so for years. Just now t Oregon ie having some trouble because of an effort being made to render officials as much subject to laws of the country as cultut tiiacums and that no man can violate aw with impun ity whether of high or low degree.
