AWYERS OF OREGON
'crsonat Recollections of Hon.
Ex-United States Senator.
PORTLAND, Or., Dec 14. To the Ed-1
itor.) In reply to ydur request I write;
somewhat of the lawyers and the practice
of the law in Oregon SO years ago. While
I was not here at the date of the first
issue of the Oregonian I was preparing
trtr my -voyage around Cape Horn to Ore
gon and arrived here In the Bummer oi
IS51, before any' accession to the popula
tion by the immigration of that year, so
that I found the condition of the country
substantially the same as at the date of
le first issue of your journal.
On reaching Portland we landed at a
I wharf boat at the fool of Washington
street, which boat was constructed by
pinning together four huge cedar logs
(adapted ts the purpose by co-verlng them
with pranks and erecting on one end a
mall shed called the warehouse. The
raft seemed securely fastened to the
bark of the river. On the arrival of the
tc ,mer a long line of people, men, women
irxi children, about 200, said to be most

line Ugh bank to witness the landing of
irhe newcomers There was a custom In
zr'y t'mes with the steamers from San

town as the signal to notify the people to
lecme out.

as trcre were then no street lamps. There
were a few business houses erected alone

those buildings and the river the ground
was acart.

accomplished lawyer, as Would Be inai-

remained there In the .practice df his pro-
fession during his whole life. He was
the nephew of Amos and Abbott Law
rence, the foUriders of City of Lawrence,
in Massachusetts, and the greatest pro
moters of cotton manufactures of their
time in America. Mr. Lovejoj was a man
of ability and learning, but of remarka
bly quick temper: jet his temper was
like a thunder shower, shortly over and
then sunshine. He was the first lawjer
who ever came to Oregon (1812). Then
came Burnett ana Nesntlth (1$). Mr.
Lovejoy was Speaker of the House of
Representattv es of the provisional gov
ernment in 1846, and was connected in
several important services with that gov
ernment. He was the strongest candi
date for Provisional Governor against
Abernethy at both elections of thst offi
cer. He also served In the Legislatures
of the Territory of Oregon and of the
State of Oregon, and during a long life
he was a useful and valuable citizen.
Anron E. Wait.
Aaron E. Walt was born In Massachu
setts, studied law In Michigan and came
to Oregon overland with the immigration
of ISi". He settled In the practice of
law at Oregon Cltj where he remained
during all hn active professional life. I
found him in his otflce deeply engrossed
in the studi' of a case. But he readily
threw aside his work and seemed io be
pleased to meet a new man just from
the East, and to make inquiries concern
ing things generally. He seemed to be
entirely devoted to his profession. He
was a man of great suavity of manner,
but was vigorous in his conduct of cases
before the court, and he was alwajs mbst
careful of the Interests of his clients.
In the Autumn of 1S51 there was formed
at Oregon City the law firm of Walt and
Kelly, which stood many years as one
of the strongest in Oregon. Judge Walt
became the first Chief Justice of the State
of Oregdn. Judge James K. Kellj' was
a native ot Pennsylvania, and a gradu
ate of Princeton. He was a delegate In
the Constitutional Conentlon of 1S57,
was elected a Senator of the United
States In 1670, and served with distinc
tion. He was afterwards a Justice of the
Supreme Cobrt of Oregon. He Is still J
living in Washington, D. C . over SO years
of age. Judge Walt retired, first to Port
land, then to his farm In Clackamas
County, where he lately died In the 85th
jear of his age.
Arfnlicl Bash.
At that time the Oregon Statesman was
published at Oregon City by Asahel Bush,
and I then made the acquaintance of
Mr. Bush for the first time. Mr. Dryer,
of The Oregonlan, and Mr. Bush, of the
Statesman, were the two opposing news
paper champions ahd political gladiators
of Oregon. When the seat qf gov eminent
was removed to Salom, the Statesman
moved with it. and has ever since
been published thfere, though Mr. Bush,
for many years, has been whollj' retired
from the newspaper field, and the States
man has become a Republican journal.
I also made the acquaintance of Mr. Dry
er for the first time on my arrival In
Portland. At the beginning. The Oregon
lan appeared to hae but slim chance for
long life and usefulness, but by the per
sistence of those who hae stood stead
fastly by it, and bj' the uniform abilltj'
of Its managers and editors, it has
reached a standing and Influence not
equaled In the Pacific States.
At the office of Judge Thornton I first
met Dr. John McLoughlln, ex-chlef fac
tor of the Hudson's Bay Coiripany In Ore
gon. He was a man of remarkable pres
ence, large, dignified and gracious in
manner, with large graj'-blbe eyos and
long, flowing white hair.
B. F. Harrftnpr.
The lawj'ers at Oregon dlty all advised
that I settle at Salem, except Judge
Thornton. He thought that Albany was
the best place. The next da I wfent to
Salem. I foUnd no one In the practice
ot the law at that place, except James
McCabe, who shortlj' afterwards went to
San Francisco. Here 1 met Benjamin
F. Hardirtg, a j-oUng lawj'tr from Penn
sjlvanla. He had gone to the gold mines
of California In 18i9; but being out of
health and homesick he was induced bj'
some Marion Countj' friends, who were
coming home frbm the mines, to come
and settle in Salem. Here he had found
little to do, professlonall so he went td
work as a clerk In the Ptore of Joseph
Holman. But In June. 1S50, the people
elected him to the House of Represen
tatives uf the Oreson Legislature and
re-elected him in 1551 and 1SS2. I found
him in Holman's store and asked him as
to the field for professional work for a
jouttg lawyer. He said the field was
good, if one had a law library, and asked
If I had any law books. I told him
I had a hundred volumes, consisting of
the Pennsjlvania Itfeports and standard
works. He seemed a little astonished and
excited, and said that was more -lawbooks
than any attorney In Oregon had,
and asked where they were. I told him
thej' were In two large bbxes In Couch
& Flanders' warehouses In Portland.
Calling his brother, the late E. J. Hard
ing, who managed the stage line from Sa
lem to Portland, he told him to take my
order and bring up those boxes of books
as soon as he could. He was alt life
about the matter, and shortly proposed
a partnership, and that we go to work
as attornej's. The offer was at once ac
cepted, and the law office of Harding
& Grover was soon opened at Salem
and continued seven j-oars so success
fully that at the end of that time Mr.
Harding retired from the practice with a
compcienc
At that time the United States surveys
had just been extended over the settled
parts of the territory, and our office,
being located In the midst of It, we were
almost overwhelmed at times with busi
ness pertaining td the settlement bf con
flicts of boundary of original settlers'
claims, as the claims were not taken bj
legal subdivisions, because thej were oc
cupied before the extension of the regular
survej's. and the settlers were not careful
to survej' their own claims or to agree
upon their lines hence litigation. The
Sum e or-General's office was made bj

was of verj' extended jurisdiction at one
time This class of practice of the earlj

to the profession now. We purchased
of the estate of the late Samuel R. Thur
ston an addition to ourl aw llbrarv, in
cluding the Massachusetts Reports,
which were brought across' the plains
In an ox wagon from Iowa, In 1S7. Mr.
Harding served during three sessions ef
the Territorial Legislature. He became
Seeretarv of the Territory ana Senator
of the United States. He was sound in
his advice as a lawjer alwajs strong
before a Jurj and generally successful,
and when his heart was In the contest,

County, and died in his 77th year.
Joseph S. Smith.
Joseph S. Smith came to Oreeon in the
middle '40s. He became a teacher In the
old Institute at Salem, where he also
gave all of his spare time to the studj- of
the law. He resided on a land claim near
Salem in 1S50-51. Remolng to the Pugct
Sound country he went Into full practice
of the law. On the separation of Wash

One ot th fflf r t
tir-n pvf ttht??t in Oregon was that
of IBS between David Logan and Joseph
S Smith, In wh ch Smith won by about
ISjO majoHty. These cahdidates werd very
evenly matched in ability and powera of!
debate. The contest was conducted In the
manner of the debates of Lincoln and .
Douglas, before the war. Both Smith and
Logan were men of keen legal minds,
with logic and eloquence equal to the
occasion. No more interesting public po
litical discussion was ever held In Oregon.
As a lawyer Joseph S. Smith had few
equals and no siiperior in early times
here. Declining health caused his retire
ment from law practice early In his
career.
Fifty years ago a few temporary houses
were clustered on a high bank of the Yam
hill, now In the county of that name.
This Jlttde hamlet was called La Fay
ette. There were two j'oung lawj-ers there
just beginning practice. They were
Mttthew P. Deady and David Logan,
both destined to Impress themselves fan
the destinies of the state and to exert a
marked influence upon Its history, espe
cially upon the history of the bar.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9. After many
unsuccessful attempts, a treaty has at
last been agreed upon with the Jtlamath
Indians whereby they are to cede their
long-disputed lands to the United States.
In times past various attempts have -been
made to" reach some agreement wmen
would 6e satisfactory to both parties apd
at the same tlmfe be Just and equitable.
A little over a year ago an arreement
was attained between Indian Inspector
ifcConnell ana these Indians, bdt several
features wrere not satisfactory to the de
partment, and this year Inspector Mc
Laughlin was sent to Oregon. He has
finally succeeded in framing an agree
ment, which has been sent to Congress
with a strong Indorsement from the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs and the Sec
retary of Uig Interior.
It will be recalled that the McConnell
agreement was somewnat at variance
with the report of the Boundary Commis
sion of 1699, there being a difference of
opinion as to the value of the lands Ex
cluded from the reservation of the Klam
aths bj erroneous survey, and on this ac
count th department deemed It advis
able to send another Inspector to Oregon
and determine whether the price fixed
bj- the Boundary Commission was a fair
and reasonable one. equitable to In
dians and the Government alike, and to
negotiate an agreement with them as to
the amount and terms of payment. This
agreement was concluded October 24 last.
By the first article of the McLaugh
lin agreement, the Indians cede to the
United States all claim and Interest in
all parts of their reservation lying be
tween Uie boundaries described In the
treaty of October 14, 1S64, as surveyed
In 1ST1, comprising a total area of 621,
24 acres.
In consideration of the cession of these
lands. It Is provided m section 2 that
the United States shall pay and expend
for the Klamath Indians the sum of $53T,
007, being at the rate of 88.3S cents per
acr& It-Is understood that J25.000 of this
sum shall be paid in cash, pro rata, to
eaoh. man, woman and child belonging
to the Klamath or other tribe under the
jurisdiction of the Klamath Agehcy, with
in 150 days after the date of the ratifica
tion of the agreement; and the sum of
$350,000 shall be deposited in the Treas
ury of IRe United States, to be to the
credit of the Indians, and shall draw In
terest at thS rdte of 5 per cent per ah
num, which Interest shall be paid to the
Indians annually, per capita, In cash; and
the remainder, after the payment of the
legal fees 6f attorneys halng duly ap
proved contracts, shall be expended for
the benefit of the Indians under the di
rection of the Secretary of the Interior,
upon the requisition of th6 . Indians,
through their agent, in the drainage and
irrigation 6f their lands and in the pur
chase of stock cattle for. issue to the In
dians, and for such other purposes as
may best prdtiiote their welfare. It Is
provided, however, that the benefldiaries
whose allotments will not be benefited
by the Irrigation sjstem constructed un
der this provision shall not bear dny of
the expense of such, lrrigatloh construc
tion, and shall, as nearly as practicable,
receive an equivalent -value of the stock
cattle or other articles contemplated; that
eaoh beneficiary may receive his or her
proportldnate share of the benefits of
this provision, ana In addition to the In
terest of the fund deposited in the Treas
ury, the Secretary may expend for the
benefit jf the Indians, including reason
able" cash payments per capita, not to
exceed 10 per cent per annbm of the prin
cipal fund upon a majorltj' of tfie male
aduit Indians of the agency petitioning
fof thS same. .
Nothing In the agreement is to be con
strued to deprive the Indians of any
benefits which they are entitled to under
existing treaties, not inconsistent with
the provisions of this agreerrienL The
agreement is to take effect when signed
by the Iridian Inspector and by a ma
jority of the male adult Indians, and ap
proved by the Secretary ot the Interior
and accented and ratified by Congress.
The agreement. It may be added, has
been signed by 200 adult malei of the
Klamath Agencj'. Agent Applegate cer
tifies that the total number of male adult
Indians over 18 jears of age belbnging to
the Klamath Agency Is 236.
Inspector McLaughlin reports a large
area of heavily timbered country, cov
ered largely with yellow pine, sugar pine,
cedar and fir, which is capable of pro
ducing an excellent quality of lumber.
The merchantable timber in the exclud
ed portion of the reservation along the
Cascade Ranfe covers some 350,000 acres.
This timber, while now of little value,
owing to the inaccessibility; will become
valuable in the near future bj' the con
struction of railroads. The Inspector re
gains $2 50 an acre a fair average value
for the lands In their native state, ex
clusive of the lava an3 rockj' portions,
which are valueless. There are also
many acres of arable land, which already
possesses considerable value. Taking into
consideration the 20 years that the Klam
ath Indians have been deprived of these
lands, together with the -value of the val
lej's, meadows and'heavllj timbered por
tions, the Inspector most heartily In
dorses the price fixed upon laid land by
the Boundary Commission In 1836, namely,
S6 38 cents ter acre.
In effecting his negotiations, Inspector
McLaughlin explained that the depart
ment was opposed to making large cash
paj'meiits, as thej- haVe a demoralizing
effect upon the Indians. The Indians at
first demanded large casn payments, but
finally jleldea when they had been made
to see the greater benefit of having the
money placed to their credit where it
would draw Interest at 5 per cent. The
?25,00O td be distributed per capita will
be sufficient to pay the bills now- out
standing against the inaians. For the
1133 Indians, this will amount to about
$22 to each Individual, and. it Is thought,
will for the most part be Judiciously ex
pended. The Indians at first were very
much opposed to any outlay for Irriga
tion, but when an arrangement was made
whereby those who would not be bene
fited by sueh Improvement should receive
other assistance In its stead, they ac
qulescea. Inspector McLaughlin is very enthusi
astic in his report of the lana involved
as 'a tnost excellent pasture land, where
It Is open, ana sees great possibilities In
the forests. He says there Is no finer
section or Oregofi for stocKgrowing, and
that this Industry should be fostered and
encouraged, as It Is the only remuner
ative Industry, aside from lumbering, in
that section of the country.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs" ex
presses great satisfaction that a suc
cessful agreement has been reached, and
thinks, if ratified, that it will be far bet
ter for the prosperity of the Indians than
the disposition of their funds proposed In
former agreements. The price Is regard
ed as just and fair. These Indians have
waited patiently more than 20 yeafrS, he
sajs, for the recognition of their rights
to lands given them by treatj- stipulation,
and the settlement with them should no
longer fee deferred. To irisure the early
ratification of the agreement, a bill for
that purpose Is submitted, and its early
consideration urged.
