THE CHILCAT INDIAN.
Complaint of tie Encroacnments of His
White Pnrsaer. '
PATCHING UP A TRUCE WITH ARMS.
They are the Most Fierce and War Like
of all Alaska Tribes.
AN ERROR IN LIBERATING A CHIEF
Bis Importance Among Hi. Tillienma
Increased and Leads to Farther
Trouble Other Notes.
Poutlasd, July 20. Max Pracht,
former collector at Sitka, throws some
light on the Chilcat Indian troubles in
Alaska, arising from unlicensed and un
controlled methods of fishing employed
by the white cannery men who have lo
cated upon streams previously fished by
the natives, which might have been pre
vented if congress had provided means
for carrying oat the provisions of its own
actsby the appointmcntof a special agent,
now tardily provided for in the senate
amendment to the sundry civil bill, to be
on the ground to enforce the provisions
of the act relating to the barricading and
obstruction of salmon streams in Alaska.
He could, and no doubt would, by re
moving such causes for bad feeling, have
prevented bloodshed. The absorption
of ' every available ; stream carrying
salmon by the cannerymen is sure to
lead to more disturbances unless imme
diate preventive measures are employed.
These Chilcat Indians have a powerful
settlement on the. Chilcat river, about
four miles above its confluence with -the
Lynn canal, have and for years com
plained of the encroachments of white
fishermen upon their salmon fishing
grounds and of the establishment of traps
and nets in that part of the canal leading
from Pyramid island to the eastern shore, j
a distance of about three miles. There
has been considerable, friction, and a few
personal encounters. Twice the United
States naval vessel stationed at Sitka
has found it necessary to go to the head .
of the canal, and, by its presence and by
councils with the chief men, has patched
up a truce. . The Chilcats are, of all the
Alaskan tribes, the most fierce, and war
like. Their arrogance was - in no wise '
decreased when, in 1891, after the arrest
of one of their chiefs for attempted mur
der of a United States deputy marshal,
his liberation on . bail iollowed. This
proceeding was protested against by the
government, the United States marshal
and other civil officers, his bondsman,
being a lieutenant of the United States
navy. Not this only, but he was carried
back to Chilcat by the United StateB
steamer Pinta. His importance among
his tillicums, or tribal family, became so
much increased thereby as to lead to
more aggression.
j . A Militia Department.
' Oregonian. A movement is on foot to
have the adjutants-general of the var
ious states memorfalize congress on the
subject of the creation of a -militia de
partment" in ' the war department, for
the purpose, of . bringing the militia of
the states more under the control of the
war department ... and .. increasing its
effectiveness and value. While - this
could do no harm " it would - amount to
but little. What is needed is a national
militia law, giving the organized forces
of 'the s states recognition as national
mili-ia under the constitution, placing it
at the - disposal of the general govern
ment -when needed, providing for uni
form organization, equipment and disci
pline,' "and appropriating sufficient
money, for this purpose. ' Such a militia
department as is -spoken of would "be
a necessary part of the bureau work in
the war department. The cutting bill,
already reported by the committee, pro-.
vides for this nationalization of the so-
called national guard, and efforts to im
prove the condition of the militia would
better be concentrated upon that bill..

Official Weather Report.
Pobtind, July 19. Eastern Oregon.
General rains -occurred on the . 16th,
varying from .127. of an inch at The
Dalles, to .22 in Morrow" county, .31 in
Umatilla county, .11 in Baker county
and .18 in Harney county. The mean
temperature has been irom (U .to 75,
which is from two to four degrees below
the average. There has been an -excess
of cloudiness. On the 15th brisk -winds
prevailed north, of the Bine -mountains;
on the 11 th U frost occurred in Klamath
county which injured gardens. ' Harvest
as in progress in all of ' the Colombia
river valley counties. - The- grain ' is
yielding better . than was expected.
Late grain was greatly benefitted by the
rains.-' - The grain crop in .1891, in the
counties east of the Cascades, amounted
to five and . one-half . million bushels.
Cornisdolng very well, thongh would
have better . growth ' with warmer
weather. Potatoes are not a good crop.
There has been an average stock" of hay
secured and stock growers feel confident
that they will havo. plenty of feed for
any kind of a winter. There is nothing
especially discouraging in the wheat
prospects of the etate, though they are
not asflattering as they were one year
ago, bnt are more so han they were in
July, 1889. . . ;
; Western Oregon. The mean temper
ature has ranged from 60 to 70 which
is from three to five degrees a day below
the average. The weather has been
partly cloudy and the average sunshine
has not prevailed. Showers occurred on
the 17th and general rains on ' the 16th,
except in parts of Jackson county where
no rain fell. The amounts of rainfall
are, Clatsop county 0.S3, Multnomah
county 0.57, Marion county 0.50, Douglas
county 0.27, Josephine county 0.1 1,
northern Jackson county from a sprinkle
to 0.05 of an inch. The rain was of great
benefit, especially to late sown grain ; to
corn and garden truck ; while in portions
of the coast counties it did some damage
to hay. A continuation of the present
weather will prove Of great value to the
late sown grain. Early aown wheat is
being harvested and it is generally turn
ing out better than was expected. The
oats crop is just beginning to be cut in a
few localities. The wheat crop : of 1891,
in the counties west of the Cascades,
amounted to eight and one-half -million
bushels. Haying is . about over and a
grod crop has been secured. The fiist
shipment of peaches was made from
Ashland on the 16th, which was ten
days later than nsual. ,
Profitable Fish Dealing.
Telegram. Agentleman, jnet returned
from the fishing grounds on the Colum
bia, says that quite a lucrative business
is carried on by- some fishermen, or
rather fish buyers, who sail down around
the mouth of the river and buy salmon
by the fish and sell it to; the canneries
by the pound. ' A fisherman receives
but f I per salmon when working for a
cannerv, but the fish buyers will give
him as high as $1.75 for large Chinook
salmon, according to weight. These
fish are brought- to the canneries and
sold at 4)4 cents per pound. Steel-head
salmon, which are not taken at the can
neries, are bought by these boats at 20
cents each and shipped to this city,
where the fish are sold to the fish mar
kets at -25 cents each. The quuiitity
consumed makes up for the small profit
realized on one fish.
Wilson The Demon.
. Oregonian. - Wilson is evidently em
ploying the leasure and quiet of his so
journ at Salem in 1 careful development
of his theory of defense. It does not ap
pear that he has been given the benefit
of legal council as yet ; but he could
hardly lay the foundation for the de
fense of insanity more cleverly, with aid
of the advice -of the sharpest' trickster
that ever followed the trade' of cheating
the gallows out of its .lawful prey. His
conversations 'and " confessions, con
tradictory and meaningless as they are,
show a plain thread of design running
all through their intricate web; the de
sign is to convey the impression of un
hinged wits and to 'prepare the public
mind for the formal plea of insane irres
ponsibility when he shall be put upon
trial.

Knture.
liuooKLYX, July 20. The combina
tion of wall street capitalists and whole
sale grocers that' are to compete with
the American sugar refinery, has been '
completed in accordance with the reso
lution to double the capital stock. The .
promoters of the project have proceeded
with tlwrwork from the first and have
nearly completed an immense es tab la
ment in the eastern' district of Brooklyn, '
covering an entire block. The main -building
will be ten stories high. An"
extensive system of piling is being con
structed for docks and wharfs. At the
start two new refineries will have a ca
pacity of 2,000 barrels a day; but now
that the capital stock has been increased
several millions, it is thought the out
put will be greatly increased in the near
iuture. Spreckles are in no ways inter
ested in this combination.
Yellow Feier Kages.
San Fkascisco, July . 20. Report"
say the yellow fever scourge continues
unabated at Vera Cruz and the rate of
mortality is alarmingly "r large..' Hun
dreds of people are leaving the city.
Among the former residents there have
been many deaths, and those who could
escape quarantine regulations have left
their homes and escaped to the city of
Mexico or other iuterior parts of the re
public. Wi-- -W. AppersonJ United
States .consul at Vera Cruz, is among
these. . He has just recovered from an
attack of yellow fever. The terrible
malady is having a serious effect on the
business and commercial interests of .
Vera Cruz: Every precaution is being
used to prevent the fever from spread
ing, the government having established .
strict quarantine regulations. There is
no yellow fever thus far at Tnmpiuo.
In Abeyance. . t
San Fbancisco, Jnly 20. The provis
ion in the fortification bn introduced
by Senator Felton and adopted by the
senate, authorizing the appointment of
a board to examine and report upon the
best location for a gun foundry on the
Pacific coast, and appropriating $2,500
for that purpose, is now being considered
in conference committee. What the re
sult may be cannot be suited definitely.
! but there is a good chance for its accept
i ance by the conference! It carries no
appropriation for the foundry, the ap
propriation of $1,000,000 'having .been,
disagreed to by the senate.
Portland Politics.
Hillsboro Independent. Hon. Joseph

Well that beats all. The pure citizens'
reform party of Portland need not say.
anything more about a -."boss" or "a
"jring," or Sam .Parrish, or Joe Simon-,
or Jim Lotan.
-And so the whole of the citizens' re
form movement in Portland has resulted
in the exchange of Joe Simon and Jim
Lotan for Ben Norden-and Barney .(jold
smith. Verily the wOrld at large, or at
least that part of IV called Portland,
