INDIAN "WAR VETERANS.
Memorial to Congress Adopted
Eight Years Ago.
In 1886 the Indian war veterans of
the North Pacific coast addressed a
memorial to congress on the subject of
the Indian war claims. The committee
which prepared it was composed of
Col. John Kelsay, Grand Commander
T. C. Shaw aud Lieutenant W. G.
Hill. This memorial, a copy of which
was recently handed the Review by
Mr. H. H. Woodward, contained much
interesting and accurate information
concerning the subject discussed. Be
low we give some of the principal
points in it.
We, the undersigned committee ap
poinred by the Indian War Veterans ol
th North Pacific coast to prepare an
address in reference to the payment of
claims and expenses of the Indian
wars in Oregon and Washington Ter
ritoriesin 1955-50, would report that a
review of the origin and cm use of the
Indian war in Oregon and Washington
Territories is necessary to show the
equity of the claims and is substantially
as follows:
As far back as in 1835 the Indians
west ot the Rocky mountains pro
tested against the taking away of their
lands by the white race; that this was
one of tin- causes of the murder of
Dr. Whitman and family. The same
primary cause in every case encroach
merit of a superior upon an inferior
race. In 1840 and 1841 the settle
ment of Oregon was agitated in the
senate of the United States by Sena
tors Linn and Benton.
Information as to the extent of the
territory of Oregon then was published
in their speeches; settlers were encour
aged to go there and secure homesteads
for their families; congress was urged
to grant liberal donations ol lands.
In 1849 Mr. Thurston went to Wash
ington. L. C. as a delegate -from th
inducements had been held out to them
by the government to settle there, but
they had' not as yet acquired a legal
title to their lands, and that the In
dians were constantly threatening to
dispossess them. They were ii.ible at
any moment to be massacred. In
consequence of these representations
and the pressing petitions of the peo
ple, through thcir.delegate in congress,
in June, 1850, passed a law authoriz
ing the appointment of a commission
to treat with the Iudians west of the
Cascade mountains. On the 27th day
of September, 1S50, the donation law
was passed. No reservation was con
tained in this act. The land was to
be granted in fee simple upon actual
residence for four years. In the pre
emption act of Sept. 4, 1841, Sec. 10,
extended to Oregon, July 7, 1854,
provision is made excepting from pre
emption lands held in reserve by the
government or to which the Indian
title has not been extinguished. In
the donation act the government ck
I parted from its usual policy, and made
no such exception. That this has been
a fruitful source of difficulty there is
no doubt. It is well understood from
j-experience with the Indians of other
states that they always claimed the
land on which they resided. Ever
since the ordinance of 1787 it has
been the practice of the government
to recognize in them a possessory right
which could only be extinguished by
purchase or mutual agreement. In
pursuance of the authority vested
in the president, he appointed a com
mission consisting of the governor and
superintendent of Indian affairs of the
territory of Oregon. The commission
met at Champoeg in the Willamette
valley in March, 1851, and proceeded
to nogotiate with the various tribes of
the Willamette. In April they con
cluded several treaties; most of the
lands had been taken away from the
Indians under the donation act.
These treaties were not ratified. In
the meantime the commissioners were
preparing to go south and treat with
the Rogue river and Shasta tribes
whose disaffection was becoming for
midable when an order came from the
Indian department suspending their
functions. Mr. Skinner was soon
after ordered south to prepare the way
for negotiations with the southern
tribes. He held councils with the
most powerful tribes, urged them to be
patient, that the government would
soon make treaties with them and pay
them for all their lands. The treaty
and the payments were delayed until
the Indians in 1853, attempted to ex-
terminate the white settlers who were
crowding in upon them, .and whose i
encroachments had been the subject j
of protest and complaint amongst
JWAjvprot-voiai'wsjnnder
donation act. The Rogue river war
of 1853, will not be forgotten soon.
These tribes were in constant inter
course with those of the Willamette
valley. The Rogue river Indians weie
not conquered when they agreed to
the treaty of Sept. 10, 1853. It will
be remembered that the treaties at
, Champoeg were never ratified. It was
well known to the public authority in
Washington, at the time, and that the
non-ratification of the treaties left the
Indian title unextinguished. The
causes of the Rogue river war of 1853,
were fully detailed in the various re
ports of the office of the territory. It
cannot therefore be said with justice
that it was the fault of the settlers that
nothing was done to arrest the im
pending war. The newspapers from
day to day were filled with accounts of
murder by the Indians; sometimes
pack trains were attacked, the camps
of the miners robbed, dead bodies of
white men were found on the moun
tain trails.
In the summer of 1855, after the
discovery of the Colville mines a gen-'
eral rush took place there. The first
man murdered was a miner who was
on his way there with considerable
money and provisions; he was killed by
a party of Yakimas; near the same
time another miner was killed; the
murders on White river occurred some
two months after. Ae;ent Bolin, hear- '
ing of the Yakima murders crossed
over from The Dailes to see Chief j
Kamiakin, Ouahi, another prominent :
chief, was present in camp; Bolin spent ,
the night there remonstrating with
them for their acts; next day as he was
returning he was killed by the Indians.
On the 8th or 9th of October, 1855, !
the Indians of Southern Oregon began j
the work of extermination; they
slaughtered indiscriminately men, wo
men and children.
At about the same date the war had
opened in Washington territory; the
movement was simultaneous, and was
the result of concert; the Indians
themselves have since admitted their
plans embraced all parts of the coun
try from north to south; the origin of
the war was not different from that of
any other Indian war; it was the na
tural result of emigration and settle j
ment; and whether the governors of i
t hu f crt-ilnriau iktillf rflri inil uti I
zens generally, committed an error in
not placing themselves under the con
trol of General Wool, who came up
after the war had commenced, is not
material now; the war took place. It
was an expensive and disastrous war,
from the effects of which those who
contributed to conquer the Indians are
not paid; neither the commanding offi
cer of the military department nor the
citizens of the territories could have
prevented the war; the war continued
for about eight months.
By an act of the 34 Congress, Chap
ter 129, Sec. 11,
It was enacted that the secretary of
war lie directed to examine into the
amount of expenses necessarily in
curred in the suppression of Indian
fiostilities in the late Indian war in
Oregon and Washington by the terri
torial governments of said territories,
for the maintenance of the volunteer
forces engaged in said war, including
pay of volunteers, and that he may, if
in his iudgment it be necessary, direct
a commission of three to proceed to
ascertain and report to him all ex
penses incurred for jkirposes shown."
The secretary of war did, in compli
ance with said Sec. 11, appoint A. J.
Smith, captain in the United States
army, Rufus Ingalls, an officer in the
United States army, and L. F. Grover,
a citizen of Oregon, commissioners to
examine into the amount of the ex
penses necessarily incurred in the sup
pression of said Indian hostilities in
the Indian war in Oregon and Wash
ington Territories in 1855 and 1856,
by the Territorial governments. Im
mediately on the receipt of the ap
pointment, the membets of the com-
mission met at Fort Vancouver, W. T.,
Oct. 20, 1856, organized the board and :
took into consideration the business
assigned them.
The commission in taking action
upon the rolls relative to the pay of
volunteers in Oregon, "bases its report
upon the law of the territory, touch
ing the prices not only as to being,
legitimate, but as to containing as
equitable a rule for adjusting the rates
of pay as probably could be devised
under the circumstances." See the
report of the commission. The act
last referred to is as follows: Sec 4
Whenever such volunteers are called
and received'' into the service of the
tertitory by virtue of this act, each
non-commissioned officer and private
shall be entitled to receive 'two" dollars
per day and rations, and two dollars
per day for the use and risk of his
horse, except for horses actually killed
in action, unavoidably lost, or reported
unfit for service and turned over to the
quartermaster, in which case the owner
shall receive the appraised value there-
cf and all wmrsskmecl officers shall
receive the same pay as officers of the
same rank in the army of the United
States; provided, that commissioned
officers shall receive the same pay for
use and risk of horses as non-.commis-sioned
officers.
Sec. 6 This' act, so far as the same
relates to the pay of volunteers, slial
be so constructed as to apply to all wh
have been in service of the territory
since the commencement of the exist
ing Indian war; and it shall also
extend to the services of the 9th regi
ment of Oregon militia whiie in actual
service in said war.
The aggregate amount reported by
the commission for expenses incurred
in both territories was $6,011,459.36,
the amount reported, as shown by the
third auditor $2,714,808.55; reduction
by the thud auditor $3,296,648.81.
The commissioners were well prepared
as before stated to judge of the value
of the services of the volunteers and
of the property furnished. Captain A.
J. Smith did as much as any United
States army officer 111 the way of sup
pression of the Indian hostilities in
Oregon and Washington Territories in
1855-56.
The third auditor did know but
little of the value of the property fur
nished; he scaled the value of the
property down to the prices in the.
states east of the Rocky mountains,
which was one half less than in Oregon
and Washington Territories.
According to the third auditor's
rates the volunteers only got eleven
dollars per month, and out of that had
to furnish their own clothing; hence
the volunteers, after serving s:x months
in the war, (according to the third
auditor's report), after deducting stop
page for clothing, etc., got nothing for
their services. This is the experience
of all the volunteers. Clothing they
had to have. In the sei vice in travel
ing over the mountains, etc., their
clothes soon wore out and another suit
had to come at greatly inflated prices,
which all the volunteers and officers
well remember. The volunteers who
did great service in the Indian war got
no nay, or nearly none. These facts f
will fully appear by the report of the
third auditor and the amount paid the
volunteers except the stoppage, etc., as
aforesaid. We request in behalf of
the volunteers and those who furri.shed
the propt rty, etc., that your honorable
bodies appropriate to pay off saiil bal
ance, .$3,200,508.81, so reported by
the comftiissmn and not paid.
That the volunteers in the Indian
w,ir in the said territories of Oregon
and Washington in 1855 and 18f'G be
recognized and included in the provi
sions of the law making giants of land
to volunteers in said Indian war prior
to 1S55, this 25th cf December, 1885.

SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY!
A Great Mistake.
A recent discovery Is that headacaa,
dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind,
etc., are due to derangement of the nerve
centers which supply the brain with nervo
force; that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind in stomach, etc., arise from the deranju
ment of the nerve centers? upplylng these or
gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise
rue of many diseases of the bean and lung-:).
The nerve system is like a telegraph system
as will be seen by the accompany iujj
cur. The little
white lines are
the nerves which
convey the nerve
force from the
nerve centers to
every part of the
body, fuBt as the
electric current la
conveyed alonf?
the telegraph
wires to every
station, large or
small. Ordinary
physicians fail to
regard this fact;
instead of treat
ing thenervecen
tersfor the cause
of the disorders
arising therefrom
they treat the
part affected.
