BOYER SAYS INDIANS
u WILD IN GRAND RONDE
The following clipping sent us by
a reader from Portland, clipped from
how large or how small their com-
pany may be. This Ib the advice ot
John Boyer of Grand Rounde, who
has been spending ar few days in Port-
land straightening out problems that
have presented themseives to him as
owner of the Grand Rounde telephone
system. Almost 20 years ago Mr.
Boyer went from Dallas to the Salmon
river country where he' took up a valu
able timber claim. Afer proving up 01.
the claim he built a toll road which led
down to tho ocean and operated this
for a number of years. Two years
ago he sold out and went Into the tele
phone game at Grand Rounde and the
new lumber town ot Grand Rounde.
He declared that the Indians In old
Grand Rounde are becoming more and
more independent due to the fact that
the slayei' of the federal prohibition
agents. Price and Todd, was acquit
ted of tho slaying of Price by a Jury in
Dallas recently. "The Indians on the
old reservation are drinking all kinds
of moonshine-' declared Boyer. "Some
ot them are undoubidely making It
themselves but no one has been able
to catch them. The stuff, they drink
would kill an ordinary man but you !
can't kill an Indian with it."
