v OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSO.WH.LTS I Batuhdat, January 7, 1882. Correspondence. Klamath Agency, Dec 31, 2881. EDiTor. Sextinel. Referring to the attempt to havo the Yainax portion of the Klamath Reservation thrown open to settlement by the whites, I would Bay that there aro now about four hundred Indians on tho lands along Sprague rivor, including a small band of Snakes. The Indians of this portion of the reservation are advancing rapidly in civilization. They are building houses, bams, and fencing, and are making successful attempts at farming. The more ambitious of the Klamaths of "Williamson river are removing to this Bcction engaging in stock raising and aro making permanant homes. Spraguo river valley is undoubtedly tho best portion of the reservation, containing excellent winter ranges for cattle, and being the only locality where it is pos sible to raise grain successfully. To take from the Indians their lands would bo a gross injustice, and would greatly retard their progress towards becoming self-supporting. Many of these Indians havo small bands of cat tle, and they show commendable care and diligence in stock raising. They are temperate, frugal and industrious, and were the reservation adapted to agriculture would become excellent farmers. They have made application foramanual labor school to be establish ed at Yainax, and the Government has already purchased and transported to this Agency the necessary material for its support during the next fiscal year. Evoii the Snakes on Sprague river have made oxcolleat advancement during the last few years. They, also, are anxious to learn stock raising, and have already quite a start in cattle raising. They are anxious to have tho school open at Yainax, and will send as pupils nearly all their children of suitable age. Four of the" Snake children arc now attend ing the school at Klamath Agency and are making excellent progress. Occasional. Salmon I'rojn;n(Iou. Congressman George has obtained the views of Prof. Baird, U. S. Fish Commissioner, regarding the tstablish- jtnentof a hatching establishment in Oregon? TJsWJll"issioner states that the primary objectOf the McCloud river esiauusuuiens, to stock eastern rivers and that the only obstacle in the way of a similar establishment in Oregon is, tho want of railroad communication. The Prof, believes our streams and climate better adapted to propagation than those of California and assures Mr. George that as soon as connection is made with tho East, by rail, he will see that a hatch ery is established. In the mean time, this matter should receive the attention of the state, for, nt the present rapid rate of destruction, and the natural slow rate of propagation, it is only a question, of a very short time, when our canneries will be closed for want of employment. It will now be under stood that fish hatching is regarded as a national, not a local, policy, and the stocking of rivers, on which hatcheries are established, merely incidental. The Statesman says to tho Sentinel "How about the 530,000 mail steal"! "We will answer the Statesman by en quiring about the O. C. M. Road land steal. SmiKCFirxD, Dec. 30. Dr. Rauch, secretary of th" state board of health, is informed that there is smallpox in thirty-seven places in Illinois, although in about two-thirds of them it is under control. San Francisco records 64 suicides and 26 murders for 1881. Three of the slayers were convicted of man slaughter, eleven are awaiting trial and the hangman's rope ia all coiled up in a tangled mess. An exchange says: It would be a good thing for everybgdy if every pis tol of every kind was destroyed, and a law passed making it a penitentiary offense to ever make another. They are a wholly useless and vicious nuisance. Tho Goldondale W. T. Gazette has found n pig with a single head, eight feet, four ears, two tails and two well developed backbones. In the latter re spect the pig was better oil" than a good many men. Tho pig is now pickled in alcohol just as many pigs with two legs aro. A letter from Hon. M. C. George says that ho will attend to having a post route established between Rock Point and Foots Creek, established by law. The P. M. General will then havo it embraced in the next miscella neous lettings. There can be no doubt of Mr. George's success. The "Oregonian" sums up the value of.exports from tho Columbia river, in l3si,.nt $14,000,000. Exports direct to foreign countries; 8,049,418. Yalue of salmon shipped to San Fran cisco; 51,100,000. Yaluo of wool shipped; $1,400,000. Tho showing speaks well for the productive capacity Pjfthis slate. OEECeX BtMBS. There is no subject of public impor tance, in Oregon, that demands more attention than our common highways and none that receive so little. It is a sound principle of Political Economy that any improvement that facilitates tho movement of crops to market must increase the value of land and augment the public wealth. In older states, this principle has bean recog nized as a correct one, road lavs hare kept pace with the demand for better facilities for moving produce and road making has developed itself into a science equally important as the science of railroad building. In Oregon there has been no advancement. The same useless filling up of ruts with dry dirt; the same waste of labor used in tinker ing the roads, practiced twenty years since, is continued to-day and, conse quently, there is not the slightest im provement. The object to be obtained in the repair of roads should be the greatest degree of improvement with the least amount of labor, but, under our ill regulated system, either improve ment or a judicious expenditure of road labor is impoxsible. The person al road tax System is funsound fn its principle, unjust in its operation, wasteful in its practice and unsatisfac tory in its results. The whole sys tem, from beginning to end, is a false one. A county is divided into a num ber of small districts, a supervisor appointed for each, not with regard to his knowledge of road buildbg but because of his willingness to accept. Thus an important element in the wealth or comfort of a community may be at the mercy of the ignorance I or indolence of any of any of the dis tricts through which a road passes. One supervisor, through pride or pub lic spirit, may put the roads in his district in good condition; another from slovenly work or neglect may leave his in such a state that a load hauled with ease over the first could never be dragged over the second. The actual loss entailed by bad roads ought to be understood by any sensible man but many are too indolent to even think of it. If a farmer hauls a half ton ov er a road the cost of hauling nius be I deducted from the price of his load. If, by reason of a better road, he can haul a ton; then the second half ton has been taken to market for nothing and the sum that it would have dest is to be added to the price of the whole load and the advantage of a gocd road over a bad one needs no argument ia-WJfor.HVJW5tftt-it',"Ur tMiJinA fault with a bad system than to sug gest a better one but wo will point to one serious defect that can and ought to be remedied the collection of tax in labor; a remnant of feudal times that ought to be abolished. Every one knows that it means the least work for the supervisors receipt; that it results in short hours, long stories and impassa ble roads. Everyone knows, also, that a dollar, in money, will go as far as two in labor and the tax should be collected and expended in cash. An other defect is the great number of overseers. The roads of a whole coun ty should be under the supervision of one experienced man who should be paid for his labor and held accountable for nis conduct We dont pretend to say how it will be accomplished best but; we do say a reform in road mat ters is necessary and feasible and the legislator who will accomplish it will deserve the name ef a statesman. Clalmlnc tbe Honors. The anti-monopolists are "beginning to quarrel already and it is to be feared that all their efforts in behalf of the "dear people" will end in smoke. The "Standard" claims that the Democratic party is the only "old original Simon." The "Statesman" demurs and asserts, inferentially, that the Republican par ty is the only reliable "Cheap John" that really gives his goods away. Now this is all wrong. If tbe anti-monopolists are really working for the public good it can make little difference to which party they belong and their forces should bo spent against the com mon enemy not wasted in a little cat and dog fight and a squabble over prospective honor. If the movement is directed against the monopolists of public offices; then it does make a little difference whether the adherents of one party, or of the other, are entitled to take out a patent to the "anti-monopoly" bait that was invented to catch suckers. Dont squabble, gentlemen, a great many worthless things are paten ted, and it would be well to find out if .your bait will catch votes before get ting angry over the title to it m . Among the bills in preparation in this city for the next Legislature are the following: One to put the sheriffs and clerks on salaries; to change the volunteer fire department to a paid de partment; to reduce witness fees in State cases; to abolish justices of the peace and to creato the offices of a tax collector and county reorder.

A sure Cure for Blind, Bleedinjj, Itching and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered by Dr. William, (an Indian Remedy,) called Dr. William's Indian Ointment A single box has cured the worst chronic cases of 25 or 50 years standing. No one need suffer five minutes after applying this wonderful soothingmedicine. Lotions in struments and electuaries do more harm than good. William's Ointment absorbs the tumors, allays the intense itching, (particularly at night after getting warm in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives instant relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itch ing of the private parts, and for nothing else. Read what the Hon. J. M. Cofllnberry of Cleveland rys about Dr. William's In dian Pile Ointment: I have used scores of Pile Cures, and it affords me pleasure to say that I have never found anything which gave such immediate and perma nent relief as Dr. William's Indian Oint ment.

Holloway skills Never Despair Something that never fails Fever and Ague To the sick it is of little consequence how they are cured, whether from a rational view of the disease or by the rules defined for tho I guidance of tho profession, so lj4ftas the cure is certain and expeditious. To a suffering man the question on the relative merits of quinine or calomel is uninteresting. The faculty may wrangle and discuss their various theor ies, but Dr. Holloway's treatment dis pels doubt ere the disciples of Escula pius have finished the first stage. Holloway's Pills are the only remedies which effect a speedy and radical cure without danger of a relapse. Read the advertisement elsewhere. Important Caution.

To tiik Tkadb: Practical experience has demonstrated to us that the trade re quires a choice old Bourbon for immedi ate use. For it is well known that straight whisky that is absolutely pure require age, great care and attention, and our old Davenport whisky possesses all the above qualities. The grain used in the distilla tion of our J ll. Davenport whisky is carefully selected fiom the finest, richest nnd very best grown in the state ot Ken tucky. The water is drawn from one of the linest limestone springs in the state, the peculiar properties of which havo gained lor KentucKy whiskies such world wide celebrity. This process makes our J. II. D:.venport a pure, hand made, sour mash whisky, and wc claim that for deli cacy of flavor, purity and medicinal qual ities, it stands unexcelled. Yours truly Scmcltz & Vox Baiioes. From and after this date J. P. McDanicl & Co. Jacksonville, will keep the justly celebrated Davenport, pure straight whis ky exclusively. V
