Young Chief mndo a long speech, stat
ing that their forefathers mado it mis

that tho land contained nil their life nnd
wisdom nnd all their dead; that they
wanted it all, and that it would tako it
long timo for them to decido what an

Then I showed tho Indinnn present
what 1C0 acres was. They had no idea
whatever ; they estimated suck n tract

could get 3G0 acres in different shapes,

Ho asked if tho scouts could go nnd get

afraid. Furrow told them that ho
would go himself. Sutuswatsso seemed

marketing Wool.
Assuming that tho flock-mantcr has followed
tho ndrico of the Journal, and through lib
eral feeding nnd proper preparation of tho
clip, succeeded in getting his crop of wool
ready for tho purchaser, tho question rn to
how lio can beat dispose of it is uppermost in
his mind. Kadi ecaton biiugsto tlio oditori.il
tabto its quota of solicitations for advice,
Not tho least tinplcaumt feature of thu situa
tion is tho fact that editorial suggestions must
necessarily bo unsatisfactory to a portion of
our readers. No man is endowed with the
prophetic kenj and beyond what 11 gathered
from tho cautious blending of probabilities,
and tho reasonable deduction therefrom, each
man must await In patient hopo what tho
futtiro has in store for him.
That tho wool crop of 1870 will movo at
low prices may bo predicted with reasonable
certainty. That tho prico will advance
Iwyond tho aggregate of interest and ordinary
shrinkage, thcro is at present no reason for
believing. All products ot tho factory and
shop, as well as those of tho farm, nro at
bottom prices, and wool is no moro likely to
provo au exception than any other production.
Many wool-growing farmers arondt so well
circumstanced as othor business men, as ro
gards their option of telling on a present, or
trusting to a futuro market. The money in
tho wool clip is usually needed before tlio
jucomo from other crops can bo mado available.
Harvest, labor, and other aummor-maturing
bills stand ready to absorb tho income from
tho flocks whero mixed husbandry is pursued;
whilo the exclusive wool-grower is moro
fortunate, than most of his contemporaries if
ho can long delay tho receipt from his annual
wool harvcit wlthcut inconvenience or em
barrassment.
In this viov, hu rulo would lie to sell tho
clip when it d iiady for market; tho excep
tion would b-, lo hold when tho future mar
ket jroniiici moro than tho present market
oilers, and when thouon-rccclptof thu antici
pated Income will work no embarrassment,
fu determining what is best, each man is his
own proper judge, as he moro certainly than

to tho future.

this is an objection, as It forces him to lose

tested this present year. About ten aorcs
have been planted, and tho plants are grow
ing vigorously, tomo already having leaves
four inches long. It is claimed thcro will bo
enough raised to mako over half a million
cigars, and which will be manufactured at
the town of I'ujallup. Our informant tells
us that tobacco has been successfully raised
in a small way in that locality for over twenty
years, and that tho quality is equal if not
superior to tho now famous "Connecticut
leaf" of tho Fait. The advantage of this
buaiuess, if successful, will be that it will
give employment to a great number of people
during the winter as well as summer. Tran

D, Lanit, of ilaine, who ha been for many
years one of the Indian Commissioners of the
United States, died auddeuly a few days ago,
as he was preparing to make a visit to Oregon
to see his son, Col. Thos. S. Lang, of Wasco
County. Commissioner Lang was 60 years
ot age, but apparently in good health. He
had recently bailed his wife, and his death
was another instance of those who have spent
long lives together being uuable to survive
the loss of a beloved life companion. Mr.
Lang was a man of eminent character for good
and reliable qualities, as his long performance
of tho important duties of the otlice of Indian
Cummitsiouer has testified.
