NOT GOOD NOT HERE
The action of tho street commltteo
in asking for tho opening of tho
streets in the vicinity of tho pump
lng station has provoked tho follow
Ing communication from ono of tho
residents of that part of tbo city,
which Is self explanatory:
To the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council of tho City of Pondle
ton:
Oontlomon: A fow days ago
havo received a nottco to 'remove tho
fence along my property on Eddy
street.
Gentlemen: I am very sorry that
I cannot comply with your request
For moro than ten years havo I been
living on that property, and for moro
than ten yoars havo I been trespass
ing on other peoples' property to get
to and from that property or mino,
becauso there was no street opened
that loads to that place
It Is a brldgo across tho mlllraco
what is In want, as soon as that is
there, so I mysolf together with my
neighbors, can mako uso of that
street I shall at onco sot my fenco
back to tho lino, wero It roally be
loncs: but that fenco has always
beon that way from the, time I have
bought that property, and I navo
never changed It. But as soon as
tho cltv is complying with that ro-
ouest of mine, and that of my neigh
bors, to build us a bridge across that
stream, tho fenco will no at onco re
moved, although the streot is now
over 50 feet wide with nobody who
can mako uso of it.
A few years ago I havo built my
self a foot brldgo across tho mlllraco
so that tho children can got across
to go to school and that Is tho only
legal crossing wo havo.
r havo nnnealed to tuo city council
of Pendleton In former years to havo
thn streot opened, so wo can get to
our nlaco In a moro rospeciaDio anu
comfortable way, than wo havo beon
doing for all theso years; but In
vain. I was told in tho council cham
ber, by our City Boss Clopton, that
wo are not paying tax to amount to
anything, and that thoro Is only poor
peoplo living in there. That may bo
so! Hut gentlemen! it sucn is mo
case, that tho poor people havo no
right, accept to obey tho moro
wealthy ones, then I pity tho city of
Pendleton for Its justice sako.
But furthermore, why is it tnai
ono ot tuo most principal sirtuiB
leading to tho city has foncos about
10 feet in tho malu thoroughfares. I
refer to tho uper end of Court street,
whero there Is a little corner or a
lot owned. I belief, by our City Boss
Clopton, having tho fenco out nbout
10 feet in tho streets on throo differ
ent streets, such as Webb, Court and
tho other I belief Is called Beaure
gard street, and thon going n Ilttlo
furtbor up on Court street, wero on
tho south sldo of Court streot, there
Is and has been a fenco somo oigut
or ten feet ln tho street for a dis
tance of almost 300 feet, has been all
tho timo that I am in Pendleton.
Oontlemen! I havo always been
a law abiding citizen, but In this
caso I rcfuso to obey as lone AU tho
city refuses to comply with our re
quest to open Eddy street from
Court streot to Court street, and to,
build a bridge across tho nilllrace
on Eddy street, so wo, cah mako uso
ol that alrect to get to and from our
property, without, trespassing oiuer
peoples' property.
it is a snavio to tho city to loavo
things in s-ch a condition as it has
been for rjj n8 years past,

continuo In tho samo ratio for tho
noxt 20 years, that has prevailed In
tho past throo years, tho magnificent
reservation at tho outskirts of Pen
dleton, will bo owned and farmed by
whlto ownors.
Tho law regulating tho Indian
lands provides that tho heirs of de
ceased Indians may petition tho com
missioner of Indian affairs to soli
tho lands, and after being appraised
by tho agent, such land is sold to tho
highest bidder, provided tho highest
bid Is as high as tho appraised value.
As tho Indians all want money,
and want It badly, tho first thing
thov do on the death of a rolatlvo
owning land, Is to petition for the
sale of such land. In this manner
tho rosovatlon is spotted all over
with private holdings. Whlto men
havo purchased somo of tho choicest
tracts on tho reservation, and as
fast as tho old Indians die, thoir al
lotments become tho farms of white
owners. I
Whllo the appraisement placed
upon thoso lands by tho agent Is as
high as tho value of other land of tho
same quality outside of tno reserva
tion, many peoplo hesitate to buy on
tho reservation at an equal figure, aB '
there seems to bo a vnguo possibili
ty of litigation over titles in the fu
ture, as tho government does not
guaranteo title, but simply sanc
tions tho sale, nnd prominent attor
neys nro divided on tho question of
titlo.
Tho Indians themselves, aro glad
to seo tho whites settling on tho res
ervation among them, but tho
