Warm Sprinos Agency,
April lltu, 18G0. J
Svn: I-hftve tbe honor to submit tho ful
owing? i(lt" your consideration, concerning
tbe S:;nke or Sliosbone Indians, and tbe ne.
I'essity of military protection for tbe Reserv
ation now under my charge, and for tbe
various white settlements and tbe routes of
travel lending to then). It is not necessary
for mo to describe in detail tbe several bands
or tribes of Snake Indians : their numbers,
condition and disposition, ni qnite as well
known to yourself as to me. It is merely
with refcrenco to their relations to tbe Warn
Springs Agency that I now address-you
The Agency, as you- are aware, Is located
on the edge of the Snake country, and be
yond1 ft", in an easterly and south-easterly
direction, are no settlements for several hun
dred miles.
The Snakes or Shosbones vibo inhabit this
region are a fierce, predatory race, whose
nomadic habits, .superior vigor, and intense
bos' ility to tho wJiites, render them a dread
ed enemy. Their hostility is of the most
malignant and uncompromising character,
and extends not only to the whites, but to
all Indian tribes who are in relations of
amity with tbe whites.
Tbe whites now under my charge-are' es
pecially objects of enmity. They have at
various times within tho last eight yean
committed depredations upon the Reserva
tion at Warm Springs. In each of theyears,
1859, 18.00, 1861, 18G2 and. 1803, they made
a mid upon tbe Agency, and drove off each
time a Inrgc amount of stocK. In 1859, they
(took.from tbe Indians and tbe Government
at this place, seven bund ed horses and all
tbe cattle then upon the Agency, in number,
I believe, about twenty. Ib. thafycar'they
not only drove' off the loose1' stock within
each, but tbey, also drove tbe whites and
frendly Indians from tbe Agency, and kept
-possession of it for several days, with tbe
arms and other Government property ; sev
eral of the friendly Indians were killed by
them, and several cbi'dren taken prisoners,
who, if tbey are alive, are now in tho Snake
country.
la 1853, the last raid they madf, .tbey cap
tured about two .hundred horses, although
thirty soldiers under eorarrmrjrj of Lieutenant
llalloran were stationed at the' Agency.
SineeHbat date tbey)-have not visited tbe
Afcncv. but tbe recent verv bold denrcda.-
lions upon- rhe'-grent road teadrng-tO'Canyou
City, are such as to excite apprehension that
wo may again De irouoiea wiiu-- tnoir
presence.
Tuve.y have willnn the iarl.two. months not
only stolen horses and cattle from several
stations . on tbe Canyon City .road, robbing;
'and "breaking up cotnplatelt' several' stage
stations, but tbey have come to Troirt deck,
within, twelve, miles ot this Agency, and
r'obbi'd tbe ranch of the Messrs. Sco't of n
large, number of cuttle and horses. I do not
undertake to recount the immense loss of
property in other localities, or the many
barbarous murders of whites committed by
them. Of these -you-are doubtless as well
informed as turn, but-I.do ask you earnest
irt-ention to tbe exposed condition ot this
Aeency.
The troops at uamps i'oik, v rignt, uurry,
Logan and Watson, are all ordered 'in, and
these, rosts are to be abandoucd. When
tbls order is carried into effect (as it will in
a few days) there will be absolutely no bar
rier between tue warm springs ueservation
and tbe Snake country of tho south and
south-eastern portion or tbe Mate.
The small number of-. employes at tev
Airencv are quite inadequate, for protectioa,
and tho friendly Indians are from their vo
cations so necessarily"Bcattercd,'tha't they
cannot be relfed npon for defense. Twenty
Ttsolutt Snake Indian can at any time take pot-
union of thin Agenti, and they are fulty aware
of ill txvoud. condition. .

A email mi'itary post established at some
point between Crooked Kiver and tne Dan
voa.Citvod. jind west of the Blue Moui
tains, could afford protection not only to the
Reservation end Agency, but also to the
Canyon City road "and the McKenzie's Fork
road, all of .whitiluconnectg the. Willamette
Vnlluv.wiUi tbe-vast range .east-.of 4he Cas
cade Mountains and. south of the Columbia
River. Fifty men stationed at WiUow urecB
Teeovev. or even diceetly -.upon, the, Canyon
Oity road,. would bo of more mdvantage in
ntieninir ihc;yast .interior) of Oregon,' than
five hundred men located in tbe vicinity of
Hnrnev li'tkc. or other points where Indian
are seldom or never found. -Indocd, I quel
t on. altogether tbe policy of permnncn
military nosu anV where. - In my opinion
small tachmcut not . encumbered . with
tanspbitferto,n',;ada'ridt conflbed to any par
ticular locality would be of more benefit
than a half dozen suc h companies who aio
loca ed at establiehel post', and who chiefly
look to quartermaster and comin sar es lor
supplies. Dut, whether fie idea is accepted
or not, I beg that yon would call the a ten
tion of the military authorities to the immi
nent danger of a repetition of the former
raids upon the Worm Sprinps Agency, and
tbe totally inadequate protection affordedliy
troops, stationed at such illy located posts as
Camps I'olk, Curry,. Logan and Wright.
Troops stationed there are of no use, they
might as well be in Austria or Siberia.
TblS somewhat lcncrtliv rnrnmnniVntinn
is designt-d to call your atlen ion to a branch.
06 the Indian se'rrice, which U in my J.n Jfe
ment very important, while at the snmctime
it has been very much neglected. If it's rc:
uit snail be to afford adequate protection to
the whits nettlements east of the Des Chutes
RivervT-shall be more than rt-Diiid for niv
labor,. nnd at the same time. I will have
he-8nris'aotion of haviue uerformed a duty
hitherto ignored. If my suggestions are
unheeded I will rest in the pn.ud conscious
ness that my warning voice has inter'cred io
shield tbe belidess, the innocent and the ig
norant from the knife and the tomahawk of
the merciless savage.
J rusting that you will direct the attention-
of tbe military authorities to this-njattetyl'
have the hoftor to be-
