Chief No Shirt has Just received an
official communication from Wash
ington, which upholds Superintendent
O. C. Edwards In every particular,
and brands the petition of No Shirt
and about 60 associates as the work
of white men who are Interested in
m curing the removal of Jajor Ed
wnt ds.
The following letter from the de
partment, giving details ot tne report
of Special Agent McChesney, who was
sent here to Investigate the charges
made against Major Edwards, has just
been received by No Shirt and Uma
pine:
Department of the Interior, Office ot
Indian Affairs.
Washington, May 29, 1906.
No Shirt, Umaplne, and Others,
Ppnriletnn Oreirnn t
My friends: Your letter of MaA?h
12th, making complaints against the
administration of Superintendent Ed
wards, was referred to an Inspection
official to make a thorough Invest!
gatlon and a report. This he has
done.
One of your complaints appears to
be that Superintendent Edwards Is
forcing the Indians to marry accord
lng to law. You sny you do not think
he has a right to do so until the In
dians have joined the church.
You are wrong in this matter and
the superintendent Is right. The laws
of the land apply to the Indians as
well as to the whites. This law of
marriage Is a good one and Is for the
protection of the Indians as well as
the whites, and Superintendent Ed'
wards Is merely carrying out the dl
rectlon of this office when he uses
his best efforts to have the Indians
comply with this civilized custom
The supervisor takes up the several
complaints which have been made
against the superintendent and says:
1. That Superintendent Edwards Is
not quick tempered to the detriment
or injury of the Indians; that at times
he may become Impatient with some
of the Indians or whites who do
wrong and annoy him by repeated im
portunities to do things that they
should not do and cannot be permit
ted to do, but that such impatience
Is not to be wondered at when the
same thing has been explained to the
same persons time and time again
that at times, In dealing with the In
dians and whites, even the patience of
Job would be subjected to a severe
test; that he found Mr. Edwards'
manner In the transaction of business
to be active, quick and earnest; that
sometimes he speaks In a tone more
animated than usual, which may h.ve
led people to think him quick tem
pered and Impatient, but that such
cannot truthfully be said of him.
2. That Superintendent Edwards
has neither threatened nor used vio
lence to a number of Indians, nor has
he ever drawn a pistol on any of
them, and that the only eye witness
to the Incident with Clintux says dis
tinctly that he did not draw a pistol
on her.
3. That Superintendent Edwards
justifiably shot and killed two dogs
one ot which had been set upon him
by an Indian woman and bit him. In
"this case the woman herself probably
should have been punished.
4. That the superintendent did cut
the hair of four Indians, three of
whom were school boys, and one re
turned student from a non-reservation
school who did not object and laugh
ingly remarked that it would save him
a quarter; that, however, after the
long-haired Indians ridiculed htm he
changed his mind. The supervisor
further says It will be seen that the
superintendent was perfectly justified
In all the hair cutting complained of,
and that you have no grounds for
complaint or any cause to be excited
over the incident.
5. That Superintendent Edwards
has conducted the matters of the
leases and the management of moneys
In accordance with the rules and reg
ulatlons of the department on the
subject, and that Instead of the In
dians complaining they should be
pleased, as he has no doubt you will
be when you come to see the benefits
of the change. The supervisor says
he found. In the course of his Investi
gation, that much Irregularity had
prevailed In the leasing of the Uma
tilla lands before Superintendent Ed
wards was placed In charge and, as
directed, he has been trying to attend
to these affairs In a perfectly regular
manner according to proper rules and
regulations; that In the conduct of
leasing matters he has nothing but
words of commendation for Superin
tendent Edwards; that the superin
tendent has no use for schemers and
grafters, whether Indians or whites,
and does not favor them.
6. That Superintendent Edwards
has not granted permission or allowed
white men to drive cattle across the
Umatilla reservation In violation of
the rules of the department The su
pervisor thinks this complaint Is due
to the Indians not being fully In
formed In the matter; that the super'
Intendent has allowed and properly
granted permission to white lessees to
take their cattle and horses off, and
to bring on the reserve such a num
ber of animals as were required to
wor kthe leased land, but that further
than this he has not gone.
7. The supervisor finds that Mr.
Edwards' conduct has not been such
as to Incur the enmity and hatred of
a large number ot the Indians on the
reservation, who fear that their
young men while under the Influence
of liquor may kill him or do him great
bodily harm; that there has been fric
tion, but the language used In your
complaint Is entirely too strong and
not justified by the facts, and he does
not believe that the Ideas originated
with the Indians.
8. That the superintendent Is al
ways ready to prepare for the Indians
any letters of complaint or other let
ters to the department when It Is
proper for htm to do so; that to the
many importunities in which there Is
no real cause to have letters written
CDMM
SS ON
refusals have been made; that the
superintendent has a large amount of
work to do with limited assistance,
and he cannot b expected to take up
trivial matters.
The supervisor says that factions
exist to a considerable extent among
the Indians on the Umatilla reserva
tion, and that sometimes the feeling
runs quite high; that there Is a pro
gressive party which Is slightly in the
majority, and a non-progressive par
ty led by you and others who are op
posed to all progress and continue to
wear the hair long and often unkempt
and wish to continue all the old-time
customs; that you and your following,
Including perhaps 100 Walla Walla
Indians, desire to have a division
ot the tribal funds and withdraw from
the reservation and control of the
agent. He does not know whether
this Is Idle talk or not, but under
present conditions he urges that no
such step be permitted.
The supervisor says that nothing In
the conduct of the superintendent to
be condemned but much to commend.
and recommends that he be continued
In charge of the Umatilla reservation
and sustained In his efforts to correct
the many abuses and Irregularities,
and there is every reason to believe
he will be successful.
I have gone thus fully into the re
port of the supervisor to show you,
as the leaders of the non-progressive
factions, how your action In these
matters is regarded, and you must
distinctly understand that so long as
Superintendent Edwards obeys the
orders of the department and Its rules
and regulations he will be upheld by
this office. As leaders of the people,
the sooner you ally yourselves with
the progressive element and under
stand that the old customs and con
ditions must pass away the sooner
will you be able to live In harmony
with whites and Indians and with
those who are placed In charge of af
fairs for your protection.
Your complaints have been given a
very thorough Investigation, and
hereafter, any that you submit must
be of such a character as to Justify
this office in taking them up. I can
not have the superintendent and the
progressive, well-meaning .Indians an
noyed by these frequent investigations
of charges which are groundless and
Inspired either by Ignorance or malice.
I shall see that the Indians are pro
tected by Superintendent Edwards,
and that he does not treat them un
justly, and in all the lawful efforts he
may make to advance your Interests
against schemers and grafters he will
be upheld. Very respectfully,
(Signed) C. F. LARRABEE,
Acting Commissioner.
Problem In Squatter Soverelcnty.
The land between the high water
mark and the meander line establish
ed by the government has been appro
priated by Attorney C. H. Baldwin at
point near the Cox rapids and Is
now being held by a squatter's right
Mr. Baldwin has established his resi
dence on the property by the erection
of a tent, and will commence the erec
tion of a home next week. The tract
Is highland and comprises eight or 10
acres of valuable land.
"I have not entered the ground with
a vie wof litigation with parties hold
ing 'deeds for property In the vicinity
of my claim," raid Attorney Baldwin
this mornliTR, "and If I am In the
wrong It will not be necessary to com
mence ejectment proceedings, but
show me my error and I will with
draw and willingly pay for all dam
age. "I have caused a survey of the
ground to be made and have run out
the meander according to the notes
of the government survey, and find
the tract I claim to be unsurveyed
land. I have also looked up the rec
ords of the deeds for property In that
locality and find their description
reads from some permanent location
to the meander line of the Snake river
and for that reason I can see no con
flict with the claims of the people who
own the adjoining land."
The tract appropriated by Mr. Bald
win Is estimated to be worth $10,000
to 112,000, and the outcome of his
claim will be watched with much In
terest. Lewlston Teller.

BLOOD PURIFIERS
No other remedy has given
blood purifier and tonic or is so
- M
eases of every character as fc. o. o. - It is known as l ne
King of Blood Purifiers," and the secret of its success and
its right to this title is because "IT OURES DISEASE."
, i j ; . i - ii i r : i i:
roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be. specifics for
diseases arisiner from an impure or poisoned condition or the blood
and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run
down, weakened or disordered condition of the system.
One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the
market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the
system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child
or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in
such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S.,
while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects
of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers.
As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is
necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains
uncontaminated we are fortified against dis
ease, and health is assured ; but any impurity,
humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys
tem and affects the general health. Pus
tular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the
different skm affections show that the blood
is in a feverish and diseased condition as a
result of too much acid or the presence of
some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the
blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated
blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint
in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin lias a
waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the
taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected.
In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the
title of "KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS." It goes down into the circulation and removes
all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health-
' ' . XT .1 1 T. Itl J
PURELY VEGETABLE
Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma
nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the dis
ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in
need of a blood purifier get "THE KING" of them all, S. S. S. and good results are
assured. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired furnished without charee to

MIsh Georgia Savage, of Spokane,
"Grub Staked" Her Brother, Who
loiiml a Mine.
From a position of head sales
woman In the cloak and suit depart
ment of a department store with a
salary of $12 a week, to sudden inde
pendence with a bank account of $50,
000, Is the sudden change that has
befallen Miss Georgia Savage, of Spo
kane. A year ago she, her father and
brother were all living In Spokane
working for small salaries. Last fall,
when the excitement over the discov
eries In the vicinity of Ooldflelds was
at Its height, they determined to try
to make their fortune there.
Accordingly the brother was dis
patched to Nevada with the under
standing that he was to prospect the
country on a grub stake basis, the
sister and father to pay his expenses,
and all three to share alike In what
ever he might find.
In February the brother located e
few claims and started to prospect
them. They showed surprisingly well,
and in April the father left Spokane
to assist his son In handling the pro
ject.
After long negotiations and many
disappointments. It Is announced the
mine was sold last week for $150,000
cash. Miss Savage received the news
Saturday In a telegram, and early,
next week she and her father will
leave for the far east for a pleasure
trip.

GRADERS FIND CURIOUS.
Petrified FIhIi anil Charcoal Found j
Deep Under tlie Surface. J
The graders on the Spokane & In-J
land Electric road are said to be un
earthing some queer relics, reports
coming from Steptoe canyon that ani
mal bones have been dug up at depth.
But reports of these findings are as
nothing compared to the relics said to
have been brought to light on Cab
bage flat, where Henry Knerr and
William Spores have a contract grad
ing on the electric line.
The other day, while plowing on
the flat three feet below the surface
a petrified fish was turned over by
the plowshare, and a couple of days
later while making a cut through a
hill a layer of charcoal was discovered
15 feet below the surface, says the
Tekoa Blade.
When the chacoal was picked up It
crumbled away into dust, but not so
the fish, which was heavy and a
hard as flint.
