Indian PowWow.
Connell to Consider the Recent Treaty.
Umatilla Aoescv, June 10, 1879.
The great council of chiefs and In
dians belonging to tlio Umatilla reser
vation commenced this morning at Uma
tilla agency. I-ong beforo noon tlio
Umatilla, Walla Vv'tillas and Cayuscs
were well represented by their chiefs
and principal men.
Before, tho council commenced u call
was mado for twenty scouts to enlist
unJer comtnnnd of Lieut Farrow. The
rpaota was soon filled by Indians from
the three tribes represented. They aro
to receive soldiers' pay and clothing, and
be nrtned nt the expense of tho govern
ment. Everything relating to them
went oiT verv satisfactorily
At 2 Y. M. most of tlio Indians in
terested in tho disposition of tlio fcrtilo
Umatilla reservation were present Tho
great majority were painted nnd dressed
up ns for n gnla day, Tho chiefs alono
were conspicuous by the simplicity of
their attiie.
The proceedings commenced by Major
C'ornoyer, tlio agent, reading the treaty
recently made nt Washington. This
was interpreted by I'ambrun to an In
dian, who in turn" cave it in a loud and
soporous voico to tlio assembled multi
tude. The treaty allows each head of a
family and nil over eighteen 1C0 acres
of land, nnd nil children 10 acres nny
whero on the Umatilla reservation.
Each individual must tako his allowance
in ono piece. This treaty will givo somo
Indian families OGO acres of valuablo
land. Ilowlish Warn no, in r. very clo
quent speech, then related his experience
in Washington, nnd haid, as did his con
frere, Young Chief, thnt thoy had not
bound themselves lo tho .Secretary of
tho Interior by anything, nnd they told
him they would not till thoy had con
sulted with their people. This was con
tradicted by Chief Homily, in another
speech, who spoku sensibly, telling tho
Indinns that no man must uso his in
fluence in any way to induce others.
Each mr.n must think nnd net for him
self. Tho chiefs wero Intoned to with
great attention by some, and with in
tiiflurcuco by others. ,
C'ornoyer then followed with a speech,
advising tho Indians to remain and tako
up land. Ilo nssurcd them thoy should
reccivo protection for 25 years, nnd that
tho meanest whito man in thu land
would not dnio to hurt n hair of their
heads if they went to work nnd did tho
best thoy could on their farms. Ho told
them thoy would bo subject lo tho laws
of Oregon, nnd bo exempt from taxation
for tho 25 years. Tlio treaty said
nothing of this, hut tho agent said it was
left out unintentionally. Ho also as
sured tho Indians that tho chiefs had
acted for their best interests nt Washing
ton, and, nllhough much asked for was
refused, good reasons wero always given
for tho refusal.
Other Indians spoko und convoyed tho
idea that they mcto afraid to enter into
competition with tho whites, aud Raid
their gardens nnd grain would not grow
liko wluto iiicii'h and acted ns if afraid
their things would not turn out well for
them.
Tho pre! correspondent then, by re
iiuext gavo them tt littlo advice; told
them to work nud do tho best they until
they could do better, and assured them
that tho press would see that thoy were
not insulted or injured by nny whites
whilo peaceable.
Coruoyor then iu it fow closing words
told them to think seriously over all that
had licen said, nnd forcibly reminded
them that tho whites would hoou scttlo
around them nud they must consider
thoy would bo obliged to givo up their
horses and cattle nud attend to them
liko whito people, ns the land would all
bo fenced up. As somo of theso Indians
over 3,000 horses, this was well timed.
The Indians then mounted their ponies
and rodo oIT. Tho council meets again
at noon to-day (Tuesday) to decido on
what thoy will do. Mnny will remain
nnd farm; others will prefer to go ou ono
of tho four reservations that aro at their
disposal. When tho Indians havo located
their claims tho other lands aro to bo sold
to tho highest bidder, and tho proceeds
applied for their benefit.
Klickitat Valley.
Goldexdale, W. T., Juno 0, 1870.
Editou IIee : On leaving tho Dalle?,
Oregon, wo crossed tho Columbia river,
and by stage (which makes tn-weokly
trijw to this placo) wo traveled twelve
miles by a circuitous route to tho sum
mit of tho Klickitat Hills, fourteen hun
dred feot nbovo the Dalles. Tho viovv
from this point is picturesque, indeed.
This valley is about soventy-fivo miles
in length by twelve in width, is com
posed mainly of u black alluvial soil,
with clay subsoil, and, what is remark
able, water is obtainable by digging from
threo to fifteen feet iu abundance and
of excellent quality. Being bounded on
tho West by tho Cascades, on tho north
und cast by tho Simcoe mountains,
crowned with perpetual snows (as a sup
ply und head, being cut off from tho Co
lumbia by rock-girt lulls), accounts for
this supply of water so near the surface,
differing trom any other section of East
ern Washington Territory. Thisvallloy
has, since tho settlement of tho, country
by tho white, b;en monopolized by a
few wealthy, avaiicious stock men, who
by their extravagant, false statements,
hivo ducouiaged fanners from settling.
Until within a few years past it was
only used by stock men, but now hun
dreds of now farms nnd cottages greet
tho ision in all directions, nnd is ranidl v
changing from a grazing to an agricul
tural district AU Spring crops, as well
as Fall-sown (save where tho fioltls wero
newly plowed last, on which tho main
portion Winter killed), look very prom
ising. Tho present season hero has
been unprecedented for rain fall in tho
memory of the oldest inhabitant bo re
markable has it been for this season of
the year that on the Deschutes, nt
Eastern Farm on tho 15th of last
month, team and mower wero mired
down in the field while trying to
harvest.
Ctoldendale, the county seat, is nestled
away hard by tho mountain side, near
the center of tho valley, and is destined
at no distant day to be tho leading town
in the county of Klickitat, population
about four hundred, and now buildings
and improvements everywhere greet tho
eye. Four saw mills near by aro Kept
running nt their utmost capacity to
supply the demand for lumber, the raw
material, mountain pine, of which is
incxhnustable. All good citizens
of this section feel justly indignant
at tho distinguished honors paid by the
U. a. uovcrnment ami others high in
military rank to tho murderer Moses
and look forward with much nnxictv to
know what will bo tho result as to his
conviction or acquittal by tho civil au
thorities, as nn indictment has been
found ngainst him by tho same, tho mili
tary having taken solo control of him.
Nevertheless tho innocent blood of poor
Perkins and family nnd others rail loudly
for retribution nt tho hands of justice.
IlKNO.
TIIElfOMMmATRIVJEri.
It seems t bo conceded that tho Ore
gon .Steam Navigation company is about
to sell out its vast interests to ivi-stcrn
capitalists, with whom Mr. H. Villnrdis
identified. Whatever feeling tho
public may havo had as to thu fact that
transportation on this ronto has always
been controlled by a monopoly, there
can bo no doubt ns to tho enterprise nud
personal integrity of tho gentlemen who
imvo built up this L'reut corporation nnd
conducted it so successfully. Thoy havo
been with us from early days nud their
prosperity has assisted to develop the
country nnd their wealth has been put to
liberal uses in our midst. Tho feeling
of regret that such immense interest
are to pass to other and foreign hands,
is natural but uncalled for. It is not
tho removal of capital from our .State, as
wo expect the foimcr proprietors to re
main with up, nnd tliey will, no doubt,
uso their great wealth iu other enterpri
ses nud continue to bo interested in tho
business nnd prosperity of Oregon nnd
Washington. It is nn advantage, in thifl
respect, that it brings capital hither for
investment, anil adds that much to tho
wealth of Oregon. Whoovcr owns this
river routo lms nn interest in common
with tho people, and if tho now ownere
havo other and oven greater entcqtriscs
in view, thoy cannot nli'ord to retard
tho growth of tho interior hy maintain
ing unreasonable ratc3 for transporta
tion. Tho time is not distant when the ob
structions to navigation will bo removed
nnd water tr.iuspoitntiou will bo free to
nil ou equal terms. Thlv timo should bo
hastened by all possiblo cilart. No pri
vate interests should bo allowed to mo
nopolize a majestic river ou which so
gte.it ti region depends for means of
freight nnd travel. Whoovcr owns and
controls this river transportation for tho
next low years, must bear m mind that
th6 timo is short when nny monoioly
can continue to so control it
DESPOTISM IN RUSSIA-
Tho Emperor of Utissin has n nico
timo traveling through liis dominions.
Ho has lately mndo n iourney in nn iron
clad carriage, bullet proof, nud it should
bo ventilated and illuminated by ft
Bkylight to bo perfectly safe. Tho car
nage is surrounded by a forco of four
hundred dragoons, liis generals and
chiefs of polico uro nfruid of their lives
any moment, and havo to uso every pro
caution. Such is tho terror of tho
dynasty that it haa banished from tho
Empire Ivan Turguencff, tho Itussian
novelist, whoso works nro translated
nnd very popular in our country, and
who is not a revolutionist, nor docs ho
ndvocato extreme principles in his
works, though they nro liberal in char
acters. His liberal tendencies havo
always been a cnuso of annoyance to tho
xtussian dynasty, so inr back as leoa
ho was a victim of Ilussian despotism
for several veurs. This is mi indication
of tho suspicion nnd terror felt by tho
Czar and his government At tho pres
ent timo there is a nilo of terror in St
Petersburg, and through tho disaffected
portion of tho Empire. Arrests of peo
pli of high rank are frequent, and assas
sinations of officials occur frequently.
