Newspaper Page Text(The Slcuiorvaf. A Dakota Letter. tuRT BeBTHOLD, AGENCY. Klbowoods N Dak. December 28,1897. To ran Editor : H.iig spent three years ia th st , and being ODe ot the few Oreg iai - tthia its borders, and perhaps tte on constant reader of your esteemed pnpi within its bounds, I take pleas ure i. giving you herewith a description of uiy observation and experience since leaviug Webfoot, and if m your discre tion yon deem them worthy of pnbli caiiou you may give them to your many readers, through the columns of the Democrat. I am much interested in Oregon, its people, and future prosperity ot the state, for several reasons; 1st many year of my lite were spent in "Old Linn" within a few miles of Albany; I am yet a citizen of the state, and hence it ia my home; 2nd, -It is the grandest state in the Union all things being con eidered ; and its future welfare has a brilliant outlook. The people are gen erous and progressive; It ia the land of abundance, and tha climate nerfart and healthful, therefore I never fail to speak a good word for Oregon whenever opportunity offers. For a number of years before coming ' hviv I was engaged in teaching in tne pub ic schools of Linn Co. Or., and ouU , gav no that work in order to accept an appointment under the Civil 8ervice roire, as teacher in the Indian Service a' this place; Therefore my main objct is to giv the true status ot things as I find them today among the Indiana to gether with a description of the country, climate etc. aa I have seen them. Me have just passed through the ' Ci-rietmas tetivitiea on the reservation, elevating and civilising nature, of which any white community might well be proud. These Indians are most loyal on such occasions as Christmas and r our ii ot July, when they take priSe in making tbeee events a surprising success, and are prond of the privilege by which the ' can show their enhgatenment. 1 attended the Christmas exercise t: ' tha Catholic mission conducted whoi-y by Indians, I was favorably impressed throuihoit the exercises by hearing fami'iar eongs being, rendered in the Eaic'.iab language by Indians of all age. I observed but few who were not dress d in citizens apparel, and most of them very neatly attired in drees suits, ant! E'i$'icn dresses was evidence lufficiei.t to convince me that these Indians are adopting the customs ot civilized cation a i ramil rat. 1 marl a vialt In t Urn d;n:ig room where they were ecjoyiLg their Chriumas feast, there I beheld lore tables nicely arranged set tastily with dishes, and almost filled to ove -floving with eatables, all -well cooked and inviting, I noticed there were light rolls, corn cake, fat pies, sliced beef, soup, tea, coffee and a variety of canned fruits and fresh apples. Such a feast i .1 v : i . i wuuiu ue rL'jujrcu vj muj pvupir, ana the advancement being made in domes tic duties by the Indian women is. a noticeable fact. There were five trees gorgeously dee orated in streams of red, white and blue, and highly illuminated with wax candles, all loaded to their utmost with toys and preterits of every description, from a five cent lumping jack to a fifteen dollar cassimere shawl, and for over three hoars the distributing of presents continued, while at intervals of every twenty minutes during this time a well equipped brass band of fourteen - Indian b-iys interspersed the exercises with s me well rendered and pleasing music, and during the whole program venders were continually passing through the crowd bestowing free gif's of candy and apples to all. This was my experience on Christmas day 1897, among the Ree, tiros Ventre and Mandan Indians, and for generosity and grand display it woo Id be difficult to equal. Trees and exer cises conducted by other religeoaa f o.-ie-ties I have beea informed were a great success. The winters in North Dakota are us ually quite severe aa I have found since coming here and geneially from Nov 1st, io aprii itm - ine rr03tJUng" reigns supreme, and bolds every thing in his iron grasp. This winter however Has been mild so far. as vet we have had no snow worthy of mention, and stock of all kinds are farirg well on the range reqoir ing no feed, np to this time. Stock raising is a great industry of this state. and the natural grazing advantages are not surpassed anywhere, and as wild hay ie abundant win'er feeding in this sec tion is not very expensive. These In dians have over three tboussid head of cattle and for some time have furnished their beef eopp'y for which the govern ment pays them six cents per. b. net, and tli en issues them the beef. t.i .... .mig eiaie is an elevated plateau ot considerable bight, and consists of roll mg preine land and sandy soii which yieida cerea'.s and vegetables of good quality snd quantity, when the season I prupuions. inecoutry is appearance reminds me much of eastern Oregon,and easier Washington, but in general char acteristics it ia vastly different. My location here is only a atones throw from the Missouri River and during the sum mr incnths, I enj3y great sport in catching the monstrous catfish with which itr muddy waters abound. Ii it frozen over now, and has ben since Nov 13th, I went down to day and measured the ice, which by actual meae Urnuent was 20 inches, flow would that atrike an Oregonian.fresh f rom vVebfoot? We have had aomecsld weather, but one of the co'dest daye, when the mercury was 25 degrees below zero, I drove 20 mi lee facing a cutting north wester, all the way. (Well it was'nt pleasant, but I soon thawed out, when I got clo 0 be side a red hot etove.) The temperature here is very changeable, one day itmlgbt be 6J above zero, and the next, 30 below The atmosphere however, is very dryand it does not have that cbiJiness apout it that a damp climate has. Snowdrift formed around my houae last winter, which were so high that after getting oi' a chair, I coulJ not see over them, anc in ord-r to have u:tc:ient light in tht ' house it wa necessary forme to cot the drills down every lew dajs with a shovel. Such ia life in North Dakota.

He never sorght public honors, bnt at a time when popular opinion demanded more than an office seeker for official po sition, he was chosen a representative and served acceptably. He was indeed 'one of natures noblemen. Possessed of a fine weli cultured intellect, a close student, kind hearted, and renowned for his hospitality ; He had the same kind greeting for all, fr the little ehild be migbt meet noon tbe street, for the lowly in life, or for those of ability and distinction who were bnt bis peers.

The present Secretary of the Treasury, Mr Gage, is eminently fitted to be tbe instrument of the financiers in tbe effort to complete tbe eel erne commenced twenty four yeareago an I eouUnued with but internptioc uolil the presentday. He poeeetwes a sublime fai h in a superiority of money over men and a supreme con tempt for tbe rights, the interests and tbe opinions of tbe people at large. He knowa that the geld standard was adopt ed in the United S a;et without any party ever asking for it ; he knows that tor twentytbree years after i's adoption no party-ever dared commend it; be knows tbat in tbe campaign oi 1S96 tbe parly composed of boiling Democrats was the only party which dared to declare the gold standard a blessing; be knows that at the polls 99 percent registered their opposition to a stogie gold stand ard, differing only as to tbe means of securing bimetaHsm ; be knows tbat the President, to whose part? be owes bis position, sent a commission to Europe to beg other nations to help ns get rid of the gold standard ; be knowa that tbe Senate and Honre, with scarcely a diss enting voice, appropriating $100,000 of the people's money to pay the expenses of tbe commission wblie it wai seeking relief from the gold standard; he knows that France by joining in tbe demand for international btmetaliem eondemed the gold standard ; be knowa tbat tbe farmers, the laborers, and to a large ex tent tbe manufacture of England desire international bimetalism ; be snows tbat tbe maintainance of the gold standard means unmerited advantage to the mon ey owning and tbe bond holding classes. is undeserved punishment to tbe vast majority of peop'e of liis country and of the civilized world and yet, in spite of bis knowledge of all tbesp facta, be ia deliberately planning to fasten tbe gold standard permanently upon the people of the Cnited S'-ates. Not content with advocation a policy which places the destinies of 70,000.000 free men in tbe bands ot foreign finan ciers'and permits a few London bankers o control our standard money, be now proposes to give tbe natiooal bants foil and complete control of tbe money ot tha nation. In Xovenibr. 1S96, six and a bait mil lions of electors voted against tbe retire ment of tbe greenbacks, and seeo mil lion people supported a platform which was silent on tbe subject. Tbe repobl' can candidate for President, tn bis letter of acceptance, pledge J the Republican party to keep in circolatiou (and as good as gold) all tbe silver and paper moneys now includtd in the correncv of the country, while only one party advocated tbe retiremen of the green bacis, and tbat party polled less t;ian 1 per cent of the total vote. Mr Gage knows these facts and yet, in spite of that knowledge, he is seeking to organizes money trust uore danger ous not enly to tbe industries, but to tbe liberties of the people, than all other trusts combined In tie list of food to b taken by tbe government to the snppoeed to-be starv ing Klondike miners we notice the item of a ton of chocolate A great mistake is being made In not taking at least a too of peaonts, and taffy candy along.

It ii a sad spectacle wbeo a place can not be fonnl to bury a body, even that of a murderer, but this baa been the ease n California recently. So bitter was tbs sentiment that it was finally necessary to cremate the body, and tben only aiter several trials to secure the use of a crematory. This is wrong in tbe mind of tbe Democrat. When a man ia dead it is his body that is buried, dust to dust, and bis pitvious cbarar ter should not intefere with his securing six feet of ground for it to dcay in. Portland is falling rapiJIy in debt. The city's expenses in 1897 exceeded its receipts $1S2,5C2-S9. The interest bur den of the city already amounts to $254,' 2)8 annually .
