DESECRATING INDIAN GRAVES.
Agent Lucky Announce Tbat It Will
Have to Be Stopped.
.Editor Dalles Chronicle Fre
quent complaints have been made to me
at various times by Indians under my
care of the inhuman and sacreligious
way the graves of their people, on the
upper and lower Memaluse islands of
the Columbia river, are desecrated by
white vandals and I feel constrained, in
ustice to the living as well as the dead.
issue a warning that I shall certainly
prosecute, to the full extent of the law,
any future act of piracy that may come
under my notice. It is well known tbat
the Indians are accustomed to wrap their
dead in such furs or robes many of
them at times quite valuable as were
the property of the deceased or their
family. In these, too, are wrapped the
personal belongings of the dead, such as
guns, knives, beads and other trinkets.
The Indians justly complain that these
wrappings have been ripped open and
everything of any value, as an Indian
relic or otherwise, carried off. It has
even been reported to me that one per
son carried off 100 skulls and sold them
for a dollar a piece. It is perfectly
natural that the Indians should com
plain. The Indian is by no means des
titute of affection for his dead, and if
white men will not respect this affec
tion, the law must be evoked to compel
them to. J. C. Luckby,

The Relief Corps Entertainment,
The ladies of the Relief Corps in con
junction with the G. A. R. post gave a
very pleasant entertainment to their
friends on Saturday evening at Frater
nity hall. The hall was filled with those
who had been invited to be present. A
charming literary and musical program
was first presented, after which an ex
cellent luncheon was served. After
lunch the evening was devoted to social
amusements. The following is the
programme :

PERSONAL MENTION.
It may be well for Indian grave rob
bers to heed the communication of
Agent Lucky in anohter column, or
something might happen both quicker
and more severe than the ordinary pen
alty of the law. The Indians are very
much agitated over the robberies of their
dead. It is their custom to bury every
personal effect of a dead Indian with
him, even to money, thinking, with a
persistence born of superstition, that the
deceased is entitled to everything he ac
quired during life ank will need it in
future. A white man is not expected to
sympathize with him in this, belief but
he is expected to have a regard for the
belief of others, no matter what it is, in
reverence for the dead. A $5 gold-piece
was recently found in the mouth of a
dead Indian and ever since vandals have
been looking for more money. The In
dians have grown indignant over this
treatment and some of them openly de
clare that they will defend with their
lives further robberies, philosophizing
that the safety of their effects in the
future is of more importance to them
than the present. Asa consequence it',
is reported that some of them are in hid
ing near the burial ground armed with
guns and will shoot the first white
intruder.

Viento, April 22, 1893.
Engineer Nickell and Freman Wilson,
accompanied by the four brakemen on
work trains, left for Albina today to
spend Sunday with their families.
Fireman Wilkes and Watchman Gor
rell will be left in charge of camp Sun
day, while the rest of the boys are mak
ing love to their wives and sweethearts.
The state board of railroad commis
sioners passed over the Union Pacific
from Portland to Huntington during
the past week inspecting buildings and
bridges.
The heavy rains that have prevailed
throughout this vicinity have not inter
fered in the least with the work trains.
They have been working steadily and in
a short time will have filled in all
trestles between Hood River;! and Cas
cade Locks.
Conductor Reznor, who has charge of
the work train and shovel at this place,
moved his family up from Albina a few
days ago. Conductor Reznor is highly
esteemed by the officials of the company,
and is making a splendid success of the
important work entrusted to his care.
As small a town as Viento is she en
joys the distinction of having a genuine
burglary. Some unprincipled miscreant
effected an entrance into the commissary
and supply department kept here by
Steward Jerry and succeeded in making
off with a ten gallon keg of wine and
several boxes of fine cigars. The thief
evidently intends to return, as it was
discovered after his departure that the
keys were also missing.

be deterred from visiting the world's

the world's fair, we have placed in the
hands of our agent at your station a

rooms each will have to spare. The
book also gives a list of the hotels and
their locations ; has 12 full-page, large
scale maps, each representing a section
of the city, so that with this informa
tion before him the intending visitor
himself can, at leisure, select the quarter
of the city in which he would prefer to
