Tue young ladies of John Day val

A standing joke in the Hawkeye:
."Al Wiikins sells boots and shoes." '
"vVe liope Bunldette dosen't expect
Al to give his boots and shoes away,
when he well knows that genial Al

your boots and shoes.

Ma. Lai'hance, of the firm of Lau

made us a pleasant call last Tuesday.
Mr. Shearer has been below select
ing a choice stock of goods and our
patrons up the valley can now find
as fine a stock of goods at their store
as there is in the county.
Rev. P. S. Knight, for 15 years
pastor of the Congregational Church
at Salem, this State, will deliver a
lecture in Keosauqua, Iowa, on tho
last of this month. His subject is
"The Free Northwest. "Where is it?
"What is if? What of it?"
In another column you will iind a

Lames, Mrs. James Cleaver has a
new advertisement in the Nkws this

Peruse it for she has a nice

At the Thanks-giving Simper next
week it
would be a good idea to fake
up a side collection for the purpose
of obtaining ?:::nev tv build about
30 feet of s-.ide -walk this side of the
M. E. Church. It would be a pay
ing investment; for if people could
be assured that they would be safe
to attend church and not have to
wade through ubscvno matter for a
distance of twenty or thirty feet the
congregations would be larger.

Eurron News: I would like to ask
your Harney correspondent, whoever
he or sho mavbe, and hone that no
offence will be taken, who the "cattle
kings' ' are if there is such a .great
distinction between them that the
"cow-boys" have to stand in the
shade; and we also thank you for
your invitation to come over, but it
is too late in the season; you will
have to wait until next spring then
we will be glad to entertain your cat
tle kings as best we can, (that is if
they are willing to come over here)
for we can flirt plenty and remain at
home.
If there are any very good looking
olticers over there they may come
and give us a call and we will prom
ise not to ilirt with them then "brag"
of it. As it is late I will stop with
the expectation of an answer for the
special benefit of the rest of the
young ladies of this )lacc, and hope
they will thank me for my trouble.

Indian Pow-Wow.
The following is from the Silver
State, and we publish it for our pat
rons to judge for themselves; we be
lieve they know the facts in the case :
A man whom the Piutes say wa a
contractor at the Malbeur Reservation
heforc it was deserted by the Indians,
arrive! in the nortlien put of the
county several days ago. He spent j
some time at MeDermir, where the eit-j
i
izens suspoctnl him of being a horse j
thief,
SPYING AROUND TIIK POST,
Endeavoring to ascertain bow the mili
tary Heated the Indians, and if they
furnished them any rations. He was
ordcivd by decent people to leave the
place, and, it is said, narrowly escaped
by a haty retreat, contact with the
toe f a boo'. He told the Indians, so
they say, that he had instructions to
compel them logo to the Malheur Res
ervation, and, if necessary, to enforce
his orders, could bring two or thret
companies of soldiers t-i assist him.
Runners were sent out by the Indians
to all parts of the county to inform
those who were working and hunting
of the arrival of
THE MALHEUR EMISSARY,
And to hae them to ome to Winne
mucca fori I) with. The sub-chiefs,
and many of their bauds carno from
far anil ni-ar, anil Naches arranged for
a his' talk 'u the court room, which he re
quest.id a few friends, among them the
writer to attend. A large number of
Indians eon 'jr. -gated at the Court-house
at the hour appointed for the pow wow.
Naehes aeted as iucerpet-r, and the
Mallu-ur man was asked by whom he
wa authorized to talk with the Indi
ans relative to their removal to ths res
ervation. He produced a letter from
A Lent Itinehart to ITaclm and Jerry,
inibrmini: them that they nm.-t go t.o
the lieservad'Hi. lor maie.tiMnnce of
which a large appropriation had been
madn, and where lanre fpiantities of
pnnisioiH. clo'hiug and blankets were
now nwaitiog their arrival. Hi said
he wis also authorized by the War De
partment to tioat with the fndians, and
inform them they must go to the Mai
!.eur Agency, and finally stated 'hat
he hud full authority from the Inte
rior Department to art a its represen
tative. CAPTAIN CHARLEY,
A fine looking ymnir sivaue, va the
fir-t Indian who spoke. He stood out
sidft tho railing, inside of which the
se'f-eommirfsion.'d rcpiesen'ati ve. of
the War ami Tn'enor Departments was
seated, and delivered himself of the
following speech. "I live in Paradise
Valley. I hvc plenty 'o eat, plenty
to we ir. My people live at ueaee with
the white-. There are many of them
at woik, and we do not want to go to
Malheur to starve;. 1 am done."
CAPTAIN JIM
Next stepped forward and said: "I
have lived with the whites at Union
villo since I was a boy. I and my
people live at pence with the whites,
and we do r ot want to ro to Malheur.
I have a house, a stove, plenty to cat
and wear, and if the Indian Agent will
go with nieto my house, I will board
him free for a year, or while he wants to
CAPTATN HKOROE,
Of Little Humboldt, was next intro
duced by Naohe. He said: "I have
raised my chiidien in Paradise Valley.
I My people get plenty of work to do,
and get pay for doing it. They .do not
want to leave. I have as "oiul clothes
as the Aiiont, and am satisfied to stay
where I live- The whites treat us like
their own people. I don't want to go
Malheur, t will live and die in Para
dise. You (addressing the Agent) have
contracts from which you want to
make money starving the Indians "
CAPTAIN HUES A VISTA JOHN
Said: "I was raised right here on the
Humboldt. I lived here before the
whius came. I then went linked, and
sometimes hungry. Now I have all the
clothes 1 want to wear, and all the
meat I want to ent. I cannot go to
M.alheur. Jf we must go to a reser
vation, we will go to Truckec or Wal
ker river, in our own country, and
among our own people. I have never
been at Malheur. My father was never
at Malheur. I have four good wives;
you, uiy fiiend, have none. I will give
you one. I live with the whites, and get
along without trouble; you, my friend
had better go home. When we cannot
live where wo were born, we will send
for you. Any Indian you can find na
ked will go with you."
CAPTAIN CHARLEY,
Who was introduced as a half-breed
Piute and Shoshone, said: "I have
live in Quin Eiver, Paradise, Pleasant
Valley and other places. I have scout
ed with soldiers, hunting bad Indians
and worked on ranches. 1 have been
to reservations and know that Indian
troubles originate at those places.
There is always trouble among Indians
at reservations. At Malheur all the
Indians went naked in the Summer, and
the sick and the blind who could not
work, wore starved. We, who work for
white men, get good wages, wear good
clothes and have plenty to eat. The
Indians at Malheur were starving when
the Umnocks went there a year ao.
That is why they went on the war
pat!). We, who remain, d peaceable,
had no blankets or shirts, and we came
back here. As a scout I found out
how Indians are treated at Malheur
and Fort Hall. Here I have plenty,
and hei e I intend to stay. If any
white men here say we make trouble,
he speaks with a forked tongue. Agents
make money. They lie to the Indians
and cheat them. Then the Indians
light and get killed, if we do wrong,
put ud in jail and punish us as you d-
white men, but do not put us on reser
vations to starve."
OLU WINNEMUCCA
Next stood at. the railing, in.-ide of
which and within a foot of him the of
fieial was seated. The old chief is a
natural orator, as in hiet all the Indi
ans who spoke seemed to be. He em
phasized his words with guestures, unu
said: '-My friend, you remember bust
Sumiiu r, when the lhinnocks .surround
ed us, we went to save you, but you
went away from us. I wanted to ride
behind you, but you would not let me.
When my horse gave out I said, 'Take
me on.' You said you could not wait
for me, and you went oil and left me.
We saved your life, bur. you would not
he'p us. Leggin's par'y saved you, but
you sent him to Yakima, if wo !0
back with you, you will cau-je us trouble.
You bring Leggin and my boy, Lee,
who helped save yoor life, back; then
come and talk ti us. We think you
want us to go because you can get con
tacts. We think you do not tell the
truth. We had uothing to do with
Oitz' baud. Bring Leggin and my boy
baek to Malheur. We connot go with
you. 1 can hardly walk."
N AC I IKS,
Who had been acting as interpterj
said: lli spend much of my time doing
what I can for my people. 1 try to
keep them sober and encourage them
to work. You take my people t) Mal
heur to starve them. While scouting,
i saw you when surrounded with hos
tile JJai'iiocks and Oitz' band, which
had been starved at Malheur, i saw
Oitz take your hair in his hand, when
water ran out of your eyes. I .saved
your life, but you would not help me.
I heard you read paper two ways, and
we cannot trust you. You told me you
nre a high officer. Now, when white
men who are my friends hear you, you
deny it. You take, my word for it, my
people will not go with you. You let
them alone. They live in peace here.
You come to my camp and I'il board
you for nothing.'
The Agent said: You never came
to my house hut what you got, something
to eat."
'That's so," said Naches. "but you
always made me pay for it."
At the C( nslusion of the talk, a vote
was taken to ascertain how many Indi
ans were in favor of going to the reser
vation, and it resulted unanimously
against the proposition.
WHAT TIIK WHITES SAY ABOUT IT.
The Indians from dillW-ent places who
attended the. pow-wow, brought letters
from prominent men where they reside,
showing that they are opposed to the
removal of the Indians to Malheur.
One of those letters which expresses
the sentiment of the whites, in almost
every part of the county, is from John
Byte--, Justice of the Peace in Para
dise Valley, and reads m follows:
'Captnin J hn. the be irer of this note,
has hoard from some source that a move
is being made to remove himself and
other Piutes to the Malheur Reserva
tion. Now at the request of Captain
John and all tho Piutes in this valley,
and also with the nearry sanction of all
the ciuVns of iU valley, I hereby
state that neither Piute or whites want
this thing undertaken or ca-ried out.
The Indians hers without exception,
are good to work and to do work for
their living and it would certainly be
unjust to remove them to any reserva
tion to starve, and perhaps make them
break out and go on the war-path, in
fact they soy they will nut emigrate."
