Davenport, former agent of the Umatilla Indian reservation, and fathoi1 of Homer Davenport, tho fam ous cartoonist, appears in tho last Is suo of tho Oregon Historical Quarter ly, tho official Journal of the Oregon Pioneers' Association, nnd gives sonio of Mr. Davenport's Ideas and impres 8ons of Oregon Indians. Tho letter 1 says: , "Tho differences observable In tho I various tribes and races of mankind aro not, as many suppose, radical variations, that is, something of different kind, but merely degrees of . uaiuiui:u uiutii. . Ino same Kind, l no negro in ins nn 'Phono Main 851. t tlvo state, "hugging his fetish as a pre T T I .1 .11.......... n.a(-nH tune, tho Idolntors towing down to blocks of wood or stone to appease tho wrath of their gods, as they read It In the earthquake, tornado, pestll ence or famine, seem to strike us at first as Indlcativo of another kind of creature, but upon more mature re flection wo see in all such n different though a ruder manifestation of tho same human faculties, veneration and fear as modified by Intelligence, or rather by ignorance. ' Perhaps tho educated Christian wearing his crucifix nuspended by n golden necklace would protest against being linked with the savage, whose desire for immunity from disease or other calamity causes him to wear charm; and as respects the beautiful work of art worn by the former and the bag of stink worn by the latter, I would think the protest well taken but tho actuating and basic sentiment finding expression in one by enllglit ened nnd In tho other by barbaric means Is evidently the same quality of human nature. "The Indians of the West Coast were given 'amulets or charms, and generally kept them secreted. They believed, too, In a multiplicity of spir its distributed among tho objects of nature, such as the spirits of tho mountain, the stream, and smaller things. That Is, tho mountain had a "ta-mau-a-was:" that was the name given by many. They also believed In a Great Spirit, but whether that Idea was obtained from the missionaries, I cannot tell. When I nrrlved In Or egon in 1851, the Indians everywhere I met them talked about the Sohlt Tyee, or God, though thoy still spoko of the spirit of things. "In either case he is not so fnr re moved from civilized man and his re ligious habits as some suppose, and If logical perception Is not sufficient proof of this, tho conversion of tho savage to Christianity and the adop tion by him of the Christian symbols with entire satisfaction of his Inherit ed trats ought to be conclusve. "Through such manifestations it fs not hard to discover that the Indian Is a religious being and given to wor ship. He and his whlto brother aro ullko In seeing God In the clouds and hearing him In tho wind; tho only difference Is, tho red man's "soul was never tnught to stray far as the solar walk or milky way." In some respects, however, I have been Inclined to think him equally esthetic and moro in practical conformity with Christian teaching than his moro progressed white brother. "In the eastern part of Marlon coun ty. Oregon, there stands an isolated and most strikingly regular and beau tiful bulto some 300 feet In height and covering nearly a section or land. 1, ...nn IVftitrafl nt Ita lllinn tit Hit tllTIO robbed of $250 by his roommate In La f wllch , wrjte wlth ,ir Br0VeS( bllt Oranrto Wednesday night.
