D0WKLLS ASD OTUEES PE- TIT10S ASKING JOB PAY TOR THE DErilEDATIOKS OF THE IKDIANI. IT. John, the chief of tba Shasta, md sub chief of tht Rogue iver In dians, and' his son Adam, deserve a parsing notice in this petition. John and Ailsm were botb natives of Shasta valley, California Early in the spring of 1852 B. F. Dowell formed the acquaintance of John in "ireka. As he entered the town he met John with nine other In dians coming out of Yreka. Three of the Indians wero drunk, and one of them was rating like a mad man, and John bought a rope from our attorney to tie this boisterous, drunken Indian, so his companions could take him out of town. John was doing a good deed, and our attorney was favorably im pressed with his features and general drameannr. He always thought his features, height and shape resembled Gen. Andrew Jackson. The Indians bought and sold whis key in Yreka and Jacksonville at their will and pleasure until after the closn of the Rogue river war in the fall of 1853. They learned all the vices of the whiles anil many tights took placn bptween ths Indiana and whitps while both wero under the influence of whis key. Indians are mere brutes when drunk, and bad whites under such cir cumstances showed them but little rprcy. Whiskev, war, pestilence and fam ine drove Jobn and a few of his na tion to the headwaters of Api!ecat and Stewards creek in Oregon, where they w?re soon joirted by some of the nuiHi iilued-tbirsty of thu Rogue river Indians.

He always, when a pretext offered, was on the war path. After the war was over and after he hd been on the new reservation in Nor! hern Oregon, be tried to stir up sedition and get the Indians again to go on the war path For this off-nse Superintendent J. V Nrsuiith (lata seuatoi) had him and hid Son, Adam, arrested by the inili lary and "Sent to A!c itraz, California. On the steamer between Portland and San Frai.citco John and his son rebelled at ths idea of their imprison ment, and they made a desperate right lo cap'ure the Pteaiuer, or for freedon . Adam was rhot in the leg, and they wee finally subdued and imprisoned of Alcatraz. Adaru'a leg was cut off, and he has worn a cork leg ever s;nce Aft-r the Republicans came into pow er and William Rector was appointed superintendent, he pttioned Sir. Rec tor to Villow him to come home to die among lira people. His request was granted. Soon after his return to the reservation General Palmer and the writer of this petition were walking a'ong the road on t he reservation And 1 we met Tyee John. He cordially shook bands with the writer and said in plain English: "How do vou do Sir. Dawelll" But he only nodded fail head to the late superintendent. His manner and style was so cool thai he writer of this article inquired. Jh John, don't you remember Gen eral Palmeil" John viudicatively re plied, "Nika hias cumtux Palmer." Palmer wake close torn turn hias clun anawht wake pot Uch biyou icters, wake potlach hiyou muc muc sia Logue Liber;' meaning the superintendent was a bad man, that he had willfully lied to the Indians at Rogue river, to get them on tlie reservation, by false ly promising them blanets, horses and funning implements and plenty of as good food to eat as whites. The writer earnestly and truthfully ic.iresented the gieat Indian Tyee, that Gen. Palmer was a good and truthful ma , and that it was not Palmer, but Congress who was to blame for Pat msr'a opparant falsehoods for not fur COSTISCKD OX F0UKTU PAGE Bill Nye. SOME NEWSPAPER TYPES. Replying in this way to an inquirv from a gentleman who writes for hints relative to the establishment of a school of journtlism in the west may answer the purpose as well as a personal reply, and at the same time may awaken an luterest iu the subject to which I have before refered. While I cjeplorc the custom of asking the' opinion of those who are not journalists, I am enough like other people to write most fluently on those subjects of which I know the least, and so I cheerfully attack this question. I have always been in favor of jour nalistic schools. Like other profess ions however, journalism is best taught in the school of rough-and tear soaked experience. That is the journalistic school that has turned out the most ef ficient men in profession so far, and doubt it will always continue to do so. We will take, for instance, a young man who has written a jingle in a auto praph album or an essay on "Our Cru el and Inhuman Indian Policy." It has attracted the attention of some in dulgent friend, and he br gins lo cast about him in order to selecta' deserv ing paper on which he may bestow himself ami bring prosperity. He fi ally puKs hiaroat and hangs it in the Rour aud reeking den of the Tail Holt Palladium. On that morning he feels thai the eje of the great world of let ters is on him. He writes a half-column fiiher on "Ihe Discipline of Children" r "Ou '-National Currency." I can shut ray ees and guess right four times out of lire on these cases, for I have, not been there, as Aristotle in hixoWu teree way has saidi On the following week he is told that what the people want most is some ihing in the line of crisp, goisippy, pointed parapras. So he takes a stepladder and pulls down the little tin-god has erected in the inner temple of the Tail Holt PalU- liutn. Sadly he begius all over again. Trarfully he preporea the following briijhtriid bit ezy, crisp and pointed par hrr pbs: Ho! tlu 1 Hotierl Hotiesil Big wanu. By a fan. Pav tha prin'er. Let us celebrate. Buy your home paper. Buy our ice of Bixby. Hurrah for the Fourth. James Sherrod wears a smite. Ii is a large, red, twelve pound son. How about the cheroots, Brother Slierroo? Ue Tulb'n emery tablets for teeth. And so on for about a half column, No doubt each line carefully Pruned down no that it will Have the appearance of Gieat Sharpies At both ends Of the column Typographically Speaking, Perhaps, Anon. Tat.! Ah! He gets up at the first streak of dawn on the day of publication to go over to the office and look at this great TTfirary triumph. Ho then prepares himself to receive subscriptions. He also writes the following personals for the ensuing week, aud then goes home to sek much needed intellectual rest: Randolph Muaser a son of our es teemed assesor, was seen on our street" for a few moments on Tuesday. He reports health good. Mrs. Strycbina Pendergast, of Sweet Flag, made us a pleasent call last week and renewed her subscription to the Palladium. We still claim that Mrs. Pendergast is a perfect lady. Clem Webster, our genial colored barber, who has been out to Dakota to prove up on his homestead, is 1 ack home in Tail Holt once more. He re porta good health. Call again, Clem! Elder Backus lost a valuable mule last week from colic. So this great scourage is again among ut with its deadly fangs. Abe'Eli, a member .of the Tail Hook and Ladder oompany, is lying very low at his homo across the creek Sun stroke. It is supposed that he over heated himself while trying to rescue a stone "door atep at the time of the burnning of Mr. E. B Skinners ice cram and undertaking emporium near the postoffice last spring. The statn ment in the Clam falls Ledger, that "it looks as if Abe was goi,ng to get there Eli,"i very ill timid. Fun is fun, and no ons is fonder of his jen de spir it than we are, but wo know when to laugh and when to not laugh. The readers of the Tail Holt Palladium wi'l never be rudely shocked by ill timid merriment in these columns. We ac knowledge the receipt of a 'fine early rote cigar from Abe, and hope he will live to sea many happy returns of the same. We acknowladgo the'receipt of a poem on "The Death of a Neighbor," also a large soft shell egg, each of which weighed one pound. They are the handiwork of Mrs, Exemia Flint, who taught school here in Tail Holt to years ago. This stage of journalism should be succeeded by another till we have the cool, methodiaal, and grammatical writer of the dayt The newspaper it self, howeves, id a sure and safe index to the town in whichjit is published. Do we not mentally meaaure up a vil lage or a city by reading its newspaper! It is the traveling representatives and advance agent of its town. It goes all over tb union for a cent, and reveals the brightness or the stupidity of its home in a great degree, while this is not an infallible rule, it is safe lo say that people will have about as good a paper as they are willing to pay for. In some instances they eet abetter one. So does the .Sheriff. New York Mer cury. Pioneer Re union. IIEI.D AT JACKSONVILLE, SEPT. 9tll 1886 The lOih Annual Ren-ion of Southern Oregon Pionetr's took place at the court house in Jacksonville Thursday of this week. The day was perfect with a cloudless sky, the balmy breeze laden with ripen ing fruit odors, and all nature clothed in royal robes of green, toncled by the gold and brown of early autnmn. How auspicious the tune for the yearly gathering of the noble men and women, who came to Southern Oregon a third of a century ago, in the reign of your or the prineof earVy life, but now they have all passed its midsummer, and upon many familiar forms and faces indeliblv stamped the imperss of a peaceful and harpy old age. At 10 o'clock the procession formed at the town hall under the direction of Gen. John E. Ross, marshal of the day, and marched to tbo court house grounds headed by the Silver Cornet Band; as it was pas-sing down fiist street the column was reversed and general hand shaking and greeting was indulged by the old pioneers. The spacious ourt room was soon rilled to over flowing, and after a few appropriate remarks, the exercises were commenced by niuisic by the band fol lowedoby an earnest and impressive prayer by Rev M. A. Williams. The choire delighted the audience with a selection of vocal music, organ accom paniment by Miss Cmie B.-ekman. Commemorative resolutions, pre pared by members of the society, on the mumbers deceased since the last annual reunion was read by Hon. R A,. Miller. The resolutions were fil led with the tender recollections of early struggles and privations that formed the iadissolvible tie of pione r life, loving friends had twined about the memory of tha dead the purest pearls of though:; how mercifully tha uni versal leveler, Death gives back to us all that is good and true in life, and as imperishable as the immortal spirit, while human faults crumble to dust mortally. Tenderly and lovingly, amid the silent tears of the assembled pioneers. oich well remembered grave was again wreathed with immortals. The rest lutions were followed by a dirge by the bind. The orator of the day Prof. B B. Beekman was then introduced by the president. Without pieliniinarif-s Prof. Beekman began bis addrets with the first settlement of America, showing how theadventerous pioneers of the old orld had first lighted their campfiire in the unbrokeu wilderness ol the wis tern hemisphere; refugees from religious intolerance, they possessed an uncon querable spirit, that had braved the danger of perilous ocean vojagei, and planted on the virgin soil of America the first standard of religious liberty. Like magnet thev had attracted to them independence and added to their terri tory conquest anu purcoaso unm one domain extended from ocean, to ocean. Thi Oregon pionee s is they journeyed to the ocetumt, bad brought wwh them the prowess and value ol four cen turies of prowe, and in fancy the 8ieaker sketched the influx of the cos nioboliton population thut ruahtd hither as the mogio of gold, gold, was reverbated through the land; each state with its local pe culiarities was graphically portrayed, and as all were represented among the til pioneers it created a percopuM ripple of amusement. With a glowing tribute to Southern Oregon pionce'et, whose grand achievements would mould the character of coming gener ations, and a touching euology on the honorored dead, Mr. Beekiran closed with a graceful and well men ted'outlinaof the life and character of the pioneer women; it was not a glit tering string of pleasing platitudes, but an earnest, thoughtful review of the sacra lice and heroism that had lighted the fires on the home-altar in the wil derness, and kept tireless watch around thu hearthstones in the time that tried men's souls, such a tribute could only eminate from the most exalted, appre ciation of the purtst id u'. of homo life, and it will never be be forgotten by Sou'hern Oregon pion'-er women. Prof. Beekman and Hon. R. A. Mil ler are natives of Jacksonville and sont of our ol. e t pioneers, and a tvpea characterize oil when the monsie of the old pioneer's has fallen, they honor the past and present generation in schol arly attainments and genuine worth. At the close of the oration the pio neer song wri' ten by Mrs J. M. Me C'uT.y was sung by the audience to the tune of Auld Lsng Syne, and dinner was commenced. Four long tables loaded with the choicest viands, and decorated with the choicest fruits and flowers, stood in waiting on the grounds, and all repaired hither whtre there was the greatest abundancefor all. certainly the pioneer ladies under whose supervision the dinner was pre pared deserve tjreat credit for the effi cient manner in which theyldi'charged their duties. After dinner the after noon was passed in pleasant social inter course and as the shaddowtof twilight were flowing the pioneers departed, all well pleased with the day's enjoyment, and so closed their 10th annaal re un ion. Lake of ihe Woods Mount Pitt- and The southernmost of Oregon's snow peaks is Mount Pitt, the crowning feature of tha Cascade range near its terminous at the Klamath lakes. It was christened in honor of England's great statesman cf that name, and by its title serves, in common with many other vjocalities and objects as a per petual reminder of the early explora tion and occupation of the upper Pa cific coast by the er erpriing subject ot Great Britain. It is often, though less commonly, called "Mount Mc Loughlin," in honor of the sturdy Scotch doctor who managed the affairs of the Hudson's Bay Company in this region for so many years, and who is such a prominent and honorable char acter in the early annadj of Oregon The latter nama is more appropriate-, and aeupercede the former, The mountain as seen from the shore of the Lake of the Woods, one of those crys tal gems so numerous in the Cascades, the mountain's snowy sides sharply reflected by the mirrored surface of the water. The lake lies at a distance from civilization, but he who seeks it will find beautiful scenery, refresliitg mountain air and water, game in abun dance, and fill of sport with the beau tiful trout with which it abounds. On Monday next the Oregon State Fair will open at Salem, and during its continuance will be visited by many thousands of people from all portions of the Northwest. The exhibit prom ises to surpass anything of the kind ever held on the grounds, and without doubt the receipts will place the insti tution on a firm financial footing once more. At any rate the lsgislature at its next session should make a liberal appropriation for its bnifit, so tlat success will be assured at all times. It is an event ot great importance to our whole people and it is but right for the State to land substantial aid. It would prove far more beneficial than build. ng wagon roads to some Jim crow immaginary mining camp in Eastern Oregon. Oregon Sittings. The coming exhibition ol the Port land Mechanics' Fair gives promise of excelling all its predecessors. The whole Northwest should bo represen ted in this annual exhibit, which is viewed by a gr a tarong of inquiring people from every portion of Ore gon and Washington, as well as by numbers from every piVtiou of tha United Stales. This can, and ought to be, made grand exhibition f tl products a d industries of the North west. The lair will bw open trom the eighth to ths twenty-third of October. TV vi5 "a
