VOL. XIV.
The Simcoe Reservation.
Mr. George Ross, who has been engaged as
miller on the reservation for the past two
years, came to the city last week to procure
his yearly supplies, and from him wo learn the
following items:
There are at present about 30C Fiutesat the
fort, who seem to bo doing well. Utiitil late
ly they have been taking hfo easily, doing no
work Hnd bountifully fed by Uncle Sam. Mr.
Wilbur, believing in the old command, "By
tho sweat of your brow shall you earn brcud,"
determined to teach these idlo sols of tho for
est a practical lesson in industry. To accom
plish this ho plowed about 200 acr.'h of land,
and made these Indians plaut it in grain and
vo etables. Kor the purposo of irrigation,
Mr. W. caused them to build a ditch six or
eight miles long, and a bountiful supply of
water is fully assured. Mr. Ross says since
they have commenced the cultivation of the
soil, they are fast leaving nomadic habits and
uinKtnir tnemseives nomes. as a matter ot
course, it will take a lone time before they w ill
attain that degree of steady industry which
characterize many of the Simcoes.
Mr. R. speaks very encouragingly of affairs
on the reservation. It is surprising, he says,
to witness the thrift exhibited by many of the
Simcoe tribe. They have comfortable homes,
are neat and clean in their houses and also in
their apparel, and are fast adopting the man
ners of whites.
The school, under charge of Miss Lovie
Whitcomb, is largely attended, and the
teacher appears to five universal satisfaction.
This is the great factor in naturalization, and
when we see it liberally supported we feel
certain that advancement is being made, and
that the people are fast attaining that position
in which they are constituent elements of our
government. A great many of these Indians
nave a good, practical English education, and
with other studies, have instruction in the
useful mechanical arts.
The Allen affair, in which a correspondent
of a Portland paper said that tho ogent.had
forbade the Indians sellinc Mr. A. anv horses.
amounted simply to tho fsct that the latter
gentleman had purchased animals much below
what they would have brought in any market,
and the agent informed them of this fact.
The Topinish affair was a case in which the
agent deputized an Indian policeman who was
sent there to examine and report the acts of
some wild ones, fears being entertained that
trouble was brewing. The policeman mistook
his orders, got threo or four others, went to
the Topnish and attempted the arrest ot somo
t of the red sons of the forest, while engaged in
a war dance at which tho "knights of the
star" were worsted. Mr. Wilbur went over
there, amicably settled the affair, and at their
request, held services in a largo building, and
expects to continue occasional meetings among
them.
Mr. Ross estimates that 40,000 bushels of
grain were raised on the reservation last year,
aud everything looks favorable for an abund
ant yield the coming season. A large acreage
has been sown, and ns very littlii of the wheat
is exported, but turned into flour for home
consumption. Mr. R. ex, e:ts to be kept
busy. This is the first opportunity be has
had of coming to town for a year, and expects
to bo absent equally as long when he leaves
this time. Dalles Time.
Silver Lake.
Imagine a mirror of perfect French plate
four miles long by one mile wide, with, or-
nam ntal hcadwork ef mountains where snow,
basaltic rock aud evergreens coutend for the
mastery, and then for a framework of your
mirror surround it on three sides with sloping
ridges made of granite, sand and boulders ris
ing some six hundred feet from the mirror;
cover these with bunch grass and fringe the
border with pine and tir; now invert tho pic
ture with the colors intensified 100 per cent.,
and you havo some idea of Silver Lake but
you must seo it to realize all its beauty. As a
gem of rare be'auty was to be 6et to complete
the picture in the Wallowa, the agencies em
ployed must correspond with the magnitude
of the work. The rude material of the basaltic
mountains near was not good enough to make
the frame, but like the materials for Solomon's
Temple, it must be taken from the granite
mountains far beyond, and transported to the
beautiful valley where the grand aud pictur
esque could blend in harmony, that quartz,
mica and feldspar might glisten in its sands
aud sparkle on its pebbly bottom. To afford
transportation for so much matetial, ageucies
of preatcr power than any now employed in
those mountains were necessary, so a glacier
was formed and the immense blocks of granite
rode in crystal palace cars from their lofty
home in the clouds to their place of destina
tion. The evidences of gUcial action are many
and very marked. About one and a half miles
down the present heaj of the lake the glacier
came down in me lorm oi me letter v, me
two ice streams uniting made a width of about
one mile, with a vertical night or depth ot
over one thousand feet, so that .here it came
out between the basaltic mountains it began
to build granite walls six hundred feet high,
jutting out from the solid rock, and it (cooped
out the lake bed the full width, five and one
half miles long, one mile wide, and bow deep
at first no one knows. At present it is 272 feet
deep at the head, which depth it holds for
three-fourths of a mile, then rites lbout thirty
fct, continues at this level three-fourths of a
mile further, then slopei upward to the lower
end of the lake, w here the glacier closed out
its work and retired. At first the Uke was
many hundred feet deeper than it now is, and
stood far aliove the surrounding country like
the eiiamend set in the ring; but the terminal
morraineis cut through by the Wallow.a river,
thus lowering the lako to its present level
About one anil a half miles at the head of the
lake has been filled up by the wash from the
mountains, to that beautiful a it now is, it
lacks mueh of having tho length and depth it
once had. In this lake nature has written
many pgci of history, telling of a time when
tho lainfall of this- country was far greater
than ut present, pel haps dating back to a time
when the Cascade mountains were either not
formed, or at least below their present level,
so that the rain clouds from the Pacific ocean
had no trouble in sailing over their summits,
thus carrying ma'crial for the glacier in these
Wallowa mountains. Had the walls nf this
lako been built of othei and less durable ma
terial, time's busy hands would have torn
them down and spread them out on the vnlb-y
below; hut while they havo furrowed and torn
and shivered the solid basaltic mountains
standing mound and tanking on this lovely
picture of nature in this mirror, its frame
work is almost without change, except at the
lower end of the lake tho sharp tooth of the
water has, liko a beayer, gnawed a way out.
Who can blamo tho red tish for enminw n
many bundled miles to see a sight so grand
and yet so lovely, whero their children may
play in its pure crystal waters. A'. Eah.
Curious Notes.
We do not claim that Coos bay is a paradise
or anything of that sort, but we are remark
ably free from insects and pests which usually
frequent other localities. It may sound strango
to outsiders, but it is a fact, that wo have
never seen or heard of a bedbug in this coun
ty, while Rosoburg, in tho adjoining county,
and but the short distance of eighty miles
aay, is swarmed with them.
Neither have we any rattlesnakes, but as
soon as tho dividing ridge between this and
Douglas county is crossed and the Umpqua
vauey entereei, tney are aounaaut.
There are no crows at any other place on
tho bay except at Kinpiro, where they abound
by the hundreds. 'J hoy are very tame, and
sit on the fences and post', but aio wary
enough to always keep out of reach. They
have a novel w-ay of getting quohaugs, a hard
shell fish which is found a few incites under
the surface of tho flits in the lower bay. The
hogs root them up, and the crow, from his
position on tho hog a back, pounces down up
on the exhumed mollusk, seizes it with his
beak and flies up into the air, when he lets
go off his ill-gotten gain, which come tumbling
down, breaking the shell into fragments on the
hard beach. The cro-v then descends and
banquets at leisure from the reiuaius. Occa
sionally one is seen up this way, and a few are
found up the rivers and sloughs but their
principal rookery is at Empire.
There is an UDBainly looking bird called the
shag, which inhabits this section aud has
rather peculiar habits. They live upon fish,
and any day a hugo flock can be seen follow
ing up a school ot fish, diving anil splashing
in tho waterat a gieat rate. They generally
gorge themselves until they can hardly move,
and then manage to crawl out of tho water to
dry. Unlike other birds, they do not havo the
power oi oiling tneir leathers and rendering
them impervious to water, and conseoucntlv
in a few hours they become what miicht be
called water-soaked, and long lines of them
may be seen on the beach or on somo floating
log with their wings outstretched, their long
lour necks high in the air, drying themselves
in the sun. 'these birds have a roost on Coos
rivi-r, and every night just before sunset they
take their flight in that direction, no matter
how far they may be from home.
At the mouth of tho Coouille river manv
sea birds have rookeries among the rocks, and
lay their eggs and rear their young in the
nest on the jagged peaks high above the
breakers. One high rock is inhabited solely
by sea parrots, a very pretty little bird with a
cuived red beak, and presents the appearance
of a hugo honeycomb, so thickly is it perfor
ated with holes in which these birds live.
Thousands of them fill tho air, ami dart in anil
out of their uests until the rock itself seems
to be alive. Sea gulls, slings, ducks and nu
merous other varieties of birds havo their
nests here, aud one can clamber up tho dill
and look down at tho nests of white eggs,
which seem almost suspended in the air. Tho
roar of the ocean, the screeching of birds and
the flapping of w lugs make such a noise that a
person can hardly hear another speak a few
teet distant. Coatt Mail.
A Ghastly Discovery.
A few days since Mr. Evans, of Union
county, while hunting in the mountains north
of Oro Dell, discovered, says tho Union
County lleconl, tho remains of two Indians.
Near a towering cliff of rocks, about a mile
from the old Hudson's Ray trail, lay two piles
of crumbling bones and two "grinning skulls,"
and on two trees standing by, about eight
feet from the ground, hung the two fatal
nooses; also, on the ground, a buckakiu leg
ging and remnants of blankets. The ropes
had evidently been used for halters, and the
knots were tied haugmsn style. Mr. Eraos
now has one of the ropes and the skulls in
his possession. The Indians are supposed to
have belonged to a band of Umatillas who
were roaming through tliat country at the
close of the Nez Perce war, two of whom
wero missing when the party returned to the
reservation. They were doubtless murdered
by white men, and robbtry was evidently
the chief motive. They were seen by several
parties before taking to the mountains, and
were provided with good horses and saddles,
and also some money. They were both
unarmed,

The British steamer Ancrlcy, Strachan,

Hung Kong. She was 23 days to tho bar,
arriving there on Saturday last. She landed
000 Chinese, and had 138 more for San Fran
cisco, for which port sha cleared at tho custom
house last evening. Tho way in which the
inspectors went through the crowd of heathens
was a caution Not much was seized except
ujiNH.-v.-u, a nun cunning sim some silk hand
kerchiefs. One sly chap had mveatid his
fortune in tho latter, and had them neatly
stitched inside his vest, but Inspector Fel
lows, was not to be fooled by such a, trick, and
the vest and three dozen silk handkerchiefs
were added to Uncle Sam's pile. Tho Anerley
left tho steamer Canipas nearly ready to sail
for this port, and the Euphrates and Angier
Head; loading for this coast, but for what
portwas not certain. There was no sickness
on board, and tho cargo was lauded in good

"Sbaiiev You, Boss." A gang of China

niovo cut. I Ins thev refused to do. and
when Mr. Managan came along the matter
was referred to him. Ho ordered them to
move their tcntH, when the whole gang, some
thirty in number, made an attack on him with
picks, shovels and axes. He nicked nn a
"spoon," which is an iron bar with a pad at
one end, used in removing tho powdered rock
from a diill hole, and "laid out" half i dozen
of hisa.siilants. Tho head Chinaman thon
lecognized him and said, "Chiuamen did not

News fiom thi Horse Thlev3s.
From privato source", and tlso from tho
Laktviow papers, we learn of tho tout of tho
horse thievos who sometimes this spring made
a drive from tho Boavor crcok country. It
seems that they had drivt-ii tho hoises in Call
foruia, selling somo on tho road, and two of
the men worn on their way back to their old
stamping ground. They were identified in
Utkcview, and upon an attempt liing mado
by the shcrili' to arrest tli'-ni. they put the
steel to their horses and escaped tho shcrili.
A livily chase was mado, however, and their
pack horse was capturi d, and also oue ot the
saddle horsci, which lelt ono of them afoot.
Several shotB wero fired at the lleoing thieves,
but to no effect, and thu last heard of tho man
who succeeded m stayine' with his horso, ho
was fifty miles ahead of nil pursuers, and tho
chase utter Mm was abandoni-d an ho rodo tho
best lmroo in tho country. Tho poor dovil on
foot will probably havo a rough tune if ho sue
cut ds m e'scaping his pursuers, as bu has no
food, and will havo to drop in on soma ranch
or camp befoiu many days, He is armed with
a breech loading shotgun. It is thought that
tho flier on horseback went into Grant county
and probably on to Idaho, as pirtie-s met him
oiug iu that direction two or three days alter
lis flight at Ijakeviow, 1'rinerille jVcitvi,
