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.
