Not as Much a Rush for the Unallot
ted Land as Was Expected.
The 15th was the date for placing
on tho market the 90,000 acres of un
allotted Umatilla Indian reservation
lands which were placed on the mar
ket under the Moody law.
A great rush was expected for this
land when the announcement was
made of putting it on the market, but
owing to the provisions of the law,
which mado It possible for any man
to "squat" on the land and hold it as
a prior right, most of the fertile part
of the land was taken before the date
of the sale. While there is quite a
little of this land still ready for set
tlers, it is hardly worth the price
asked for It. This will all bo taken
for grazing lands.

to convert old newspapers into clean
white paper at half the cost of paper
direct from wood.

CHINESE REFORMER
SAYS SOME GOOD THINGS
ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.
He Has Great Hope for China
Thinks That 8he Will One Day
Spring Forward and Surprise the
World.
Choy Kan, the Chinese reformer, is
ill town again, the guest of tho local
Chinamen and is being entertained
royally and bauquetted.
Choy Kan is a logical speaker. Ho
was here and gave two lectures tho
first of the (week to his countrymen,
in which he counseled them to join
together and work for every move
toward tho uplifting of their coun
trymen. He speaks fair English and is wejl
educated. To an East Oregoulan
representative Choy gave the follow
ing interview:
Feel Good Towards Americans.
"My people feel kind toward you
Americans. Had it not been for
American intervention China would
now be entirely in the hands of for
eigners. Yes, the American and Eng
lishmen are friends of tho Chinamen.
China at a Standstill.
"The land of the dragon is now
ruled entirely by the monarch. Tho
American has progressed by his alert
ness and education. The question
arises, is he more alert and is he
more capable of learning than his
Chinese cousin? I do not think so.
China has almost been at a stand
still for the past 300 years. Look at
Amorif.a! What makes the differ
ence? The Chinaman has the natur
al ability, just tho same as the Yan
kee, and with the same chance would
have advanced, and the nation would
have been just as learned and as
high in the estimation of the world as
America. It is not our fault, but the
fault of those wo have to bow to, and
it is this idea that is getting a hold
on my countrymen today and which
will bring it to the front in the fu
ture at an astonishing gait.
Should Work for Each Other,
"Look at the growth of the United
State3 within the last century and
then take a glance at the snail-like
paco of the Chinese nation and tell
mn tho cause. Free schools have had
a great deal to do with this condition
of affairs in America. A Droaa-minu
ed government has done the rest The
Amnrican tieonle have a right to ae
msnd their richts and we have not.
This is tho whole secret
"Our land can be made tho same
if we but have a chance and try
What I am trying to get my coun
trymen to see is the fact that we
must, not work for ourselves alone
but for each other, if we are ever to
bo any better off than we are today.
Cause of Stagnation.
"For instance, in China, you and I
each have a son. I am poor, you aro
wealthy. Lack of riches makes it im
possible for mo to give my boy an
education. Your child has tho op
portunlty to learn. Your child may
be a sluggard, mine intellectual. This
makes no difference. Because of my
property my child cannot progress
because I cannot afford to send him
to school. Your son has all the
chance in the world, but It does him
no good. That is one of tho things
that is keeping back our fatherland
Tho man with the brains and intellect
to learn does not have 'the chance
nine times out of 10, while tho other
one has but will not learn or ad
vance.
A Change Coming.
"There is coming a vast change
That day is not far distant. We will
have a form of government fashioned
after the American way. Then, and
not until then, will sleeping China
awaken from her long dream, and
when this is done, it as a nation,
will spring forward with an alert'
ness that will surprise the world.
They Are Deaf.
"In plain everyday TJnglish, one
who does not progress and tries to
throw obstacles fn the way of tho
man who would hut cannot is called
a 'mosabaclc' In Chinese ho Is 'deaf
and dumb.' A local Chinaman once
said:
" 'Wo havo jots of "deaf and dumb"
men. They cannot understand, and
furthermore thoy do not caro to.
This is tho drawback. You tell them
of recent Inventions, smokeless pow'
dor, long-distance firearms, tolophono
nnu telegraph, things they can see
with their own eyes, and thoy will
meet you with a blank stare of "I
don't believe it.""
What China Produces.
"I recently had an argument with
one of these fellows. I said: Do you
know that tho clothes you wear wore
mado in tho United States? What
does China produce? Tea, rice and
Bilk. That is all. Notice the sleeves
on your jacket. Now tako a look at
the sleeves of tho coat you wore from
China. Tho sleoveB of tho one you
aro wearing now are ono-half as
small as thoso you wore over here,
and tho ones worn on that great
hunglesomo, long-tailed shirt you then
had. Had you remained in China
vou would havo boon content to havo
lived on in your ignorance, wearing
ho snme ill-shaned. ilLflttincr. trouh-
lesomo clothing that your great, great
srrandfathers wore. Tho braid in your
nuouo Is of American manufacture.
Of course, they learned how to make
It from the Chinaman. With tho
Americans nothing is impossible.
Choy's Business.

'GRANDE RONDE VALLEY.
Some of Its Resources and a Bit of
History.
E. S. McComas, of Union county,
in an interview with an Oregon 'Daily
Journal correspondent, has the fol
lowing to say about Grando Ronde
valley and the early hiBtory ofAthat
country:
"I passed through Union in 18C2,
and have been here or in the vicinity
most of the time since," he said.
"The town was started in that year
1SG2. Fred Nodine, Undo George
Wright and M. S. Israel wore among
tho ficst settlers. It was during the
Civil War and It was that which gave
tho town its name Union.
Resources.
"Yes, this is not only a beautiful
vallov. but It is a vory rich little val
ley," said Mr. McComas. "It Is about
2C miles long and 16 across in the
central portion, narrowing toward
each end. Wo raise wheat, oats, nar
lnv. siicrar heets'. hay. fruit and live
stock. Tho Grande Ronde Lumber
Company have , a capacity of 100,000
feet daily. They saw yellow pine.
Timber here is of cood nunlity. but
tho Blue Mountain timber will not
yield as much per section as the
rnnat tlmbnr in Tillamook or Lincoln
counties. It does not run in the Blue
Mountains over a million and a quar
ter to a million and a half feet to
the quarter section. Wo have some
cood mines not far from here. At
North Powder they are arranging to
put in a stamp mill. The ore ran?
from ?1C to $20 to the ton in gold
At Eagle Creek, In the Sanger dis
trict, thoy have a 10-stamp mill.
Old Times.
"Well. Ben Brown, the assessor, is
one of the old-tlmerB, and Connolly
and Carroll, and Durham Wright and
Jim Hutchison and H. J. Geer and
many others living in tho valley. In
18G2 I hauled freight from Thp Dalles
to Auburn, 12 miles above Baker
City. Auburn vas tho first mining
town in Eastern Oregon and had a
population of about 5000 in 18G2. It
Is a 'has been" now, only a fow old
timers living there and some China
men who are working tho tailings of
the old placer mines.
"In the early days tho sixties
everything came in by bull team o
pack trains. A good many of our
well-to-do men got their start at huP
whacking.
A Profitable Business.
"I was associated in business in
early days with R. W. Dealc, who
used to run a freight outfit in 1863
'64 and '65. I have seen him bring
in ?40,000 in gold dust as payment
for a single freight shipment. He
charged from 8 to 10 cents per pound
and ran 18 teams, consisting of 10
or 12 yoke of oxen to each outfit, a
large wagon and trailer. The ship
ment I Bpoke of was from Umatilla
landing to Sliver City. Oeorge W
Hunt, who afterwards built a railroad
from Pendleton to Wallula Junction,
was tho freighting king of those days,
Ho ran moro outfltB from Umatilla
landing to the upper country than
any ono else in tho business. Steam
bonts brought the freight from Port
land to tho Cascades, then It went
oyer tho portage road to Upper Cas
cades, then It was again put on the
steamboats to Umatilla landing, or if
for Northern Idaho, by steamboat to
LowiBton on Snako River.
"Florence and tho Salmon River
country ran pack trains from Lewis
ton to the mines, as it was too rough
for 'bullwhacking' outuis. jt'iacer
vllle, Boise City, Bannock and Sllvor
City were good camps in those early
days. Through tho sixties, Eaton
used to run a freight outfit Mining
or freighting wore tho two principal
industries then."
