DAILY EAST OKEttONlAN. I'ENDLETON, OKEUO.N. MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1008. PAGE Tint EE. KIC1I1T PAGES. 1 IlESERVATIONS ARE BEING SOLD TO THE WHITES ICacli Year Sees nig Slices of Western Ittwrvatioiis Hirown Open for Pettlviiient Crow Indiana Are the Lat to Make Way for Civilization. That the western Indian reserva tions are doomed to dlsapppear soon, and that the western tribes must fol low those of the east Into o.bllvlon, Is shown by each succeeding report from the Indian department. The Denver Republican says: If the present policy of opening the Indian reservations to public settle ment Is continued, no doubt the pres ent generation will see the last of In dian segregation. Several large res ervations are to be opened to settle ment within a year or two. One of the finest to be thrown open will be the Crow reservation In Montana, and not long ago a delegation of Crow Indians, headed by Plenty Coos, chief of the tribe, went to Washington to protest against tho sale of " their land. It Is natural for the Indians to pro test against the breaking up of their reservations, even as they protested against the Invasion of their broad prairies by white men. But if tho case of the Crows Is considered, It will be seen that no hardship Is be ing worked. The Crows have always been a friendly tribe, but they have been ono of the most difficult to wean from their Indian ways. It Is only within the last five years that their tribal mode of living was broken up. Their tribal herd of "cattle was sep arated by the Indian agent, Major S. G. Reynolds, nnd the stock was as signed to Individuals. The Indians were given allotments of land, nnd every effort was used to make them live on the allotments and become prosperous farmers. So well has this work succeeded that now the Crows are self-supporting. Thoy have learned the knack of farm ing, ind even give an annual fair, at which their farm products are exhib ited. There nre about 1500 Crows living on a reservation that Is nearly 100 miles square. There are thousands of acres that can never be used under the present system, save for grazing Most of It is leased to white men who run cattle and sheep thereon. To take this land and open it to white settlement Is not working a hardship on the Indians. On the contrary, the more white neighbors they have the more rapid will be the Indians' pro gress as farmers. Vht Is true In the case of the Crows Is true of most of the other tribes. The policy of opening the waste lands of the reservations Is a g"Oil one good for the Indians as well ns the white man. The reserva tion has never been anything but a makeshift and a source of scandal and laziness at the best. The sooner It is wiped out of the scheme of things the better for all concerned. SMALL OUTPUT OF FRUIT. Conning Iiulimtry Will Ilu Cripple! 8mKuliat. Oregon's fruit canning Industry will not amount to $5000,000 this season although normally the Industry amounts to at least $1,000,000.. Bus iness and not the fruit crop Is re sponsible for the sweeping reduction In the output, says a Portland paper. Jobbers are not ordering as freel as In the past. This condition Is at tributed to the general depression through the country. The panic of last winter Is still leaving Its effect. Oregon recovered quickly from the financial hysteria, but the east and south were less rapid In recuperating. This has had a depressing Influence on many lines of trade, and among other Industries crippled Is the frult cinnlng Industry of tho beaver state. The fruit crop has been' abundant. Berries have been coming In In large quantities, but the preserving plants ate not snapping up tho fruit as In other years. The canners have no de sire to overstock and with orders greatly reduced they will not work at full capacity during the limited sea son. Manager Holmes of the Holmes Canning company, says that many of the canneries In Oregon this year will not open at all. The remainder will only put up half a pack. The Holmes plant will operate as usual, but riol on such an extensive scale as has been the rule In previous seasons, as pre vailing conditions fail to warrant the concern operating at full capacity. A report from one Oregon town states that the preservinb plants there have bought 35O,)00 worth of straw berries. This however. Is considered an exaggeration. In view of the gener al slackness of the trade. Not only will the canners suffer, but it will also curtail the payroll to considerable extent. The preserving establishments annually employ thou sands of women and young girls pre paring the berries and other fruit. Willi the cutting down of the output fewer hands will be required to han- that five property-owners In the vl-J r'nlty of Gresham were holding up this company so seriously that men behind the project have considered the advisability of building around Oresham Instead of making It a sta tion on the line. Here Is the concrete evidence submitted by It. T. Llnney, In charge of right-of-way work for the road, and by Attorney R. T. Piatt who Is handling the legal phase of the situation. Julia U gner and husband, as the complaint In the suit for specific per formance of contract chows, agreed to accept $1205, for a strip of land' less than an acre in extent, and they accepted a payment of $100 down on the deal. Iiter, It Is alleged, they i pudlated the contract and ore de manding $2600 for this land. The records of the company show that land In this vicinity has been pur prke of $S0O per acre for the very while Mr. Mnney fixed the maximum price at $8000 per acre for the very 1iht UiUtl along the surveyed route.
