Dallas, Oct. 28. What may b
the first step of the United States
government toward- the payment
of Oregon Indiana of long utand
Jng land claims was taken Monday
when Superintendent B. L. Chal
craft, of the Siletz and rGand
Ronde reservations, with Seneca
Fouts of Portland, attorney for
the Indians, called at Grand
Ronde and held an all day meet
ing with the different tribes of
Indians in the Grand Ronde
country. The meeting was held at
the agency building, at which
time an effort was made to form
ulate the different claims.
Superintendent hCalcraft is
acting under instructions from
the department of Indian affairs
at Washington, D. C, in compli
ance with a bill introduced by
Senator Charles ilcNary of Ore
gon, which has for its object the
looking to the payment of the
claims.
About 18 or 20 tribes of Oregon
Indians will benefit if the negoti
ations are concluded satisfactorily
to the claimants. Among these In
dians are the following tribes'
Umpquas, Rogue Rivers, Santl
ams, Yoncollas, Molnls, Siletz,
Marysvllles, Luckiaroutes, Cal
looplas, Bhastas, Clackamas, C'hl
.nooks and Yamhills.
Many of these Indians aro
mere remnants of their primitive
glory and are represented by de
scendants, numerous of whom are
far removed from the full blood
ed braves of long ago. The land
in queutlon extends from the Co
lumbia river on the north, along
the Cascade range on the east,
running west along the division
line of Oregon and California to
the Pacific ocean, and along the
ocean to the mouth of the Colunv
ll h river. These lands, the Indians
Hnert, were taken from them In
the early days In violations with
treaties made with tho govern
ment.
Karly this summer the various
headmen of the tribes mentioned
had a meeting in Portland. About
100 or more Indians from Oregon
wore In attendance. A. I, Hudson
a well known Indian from Grand
Ronde, acted as chairman. This
meeting was the first definite
move which led to the action now
contemplated.

"Man never had the right to
usurp the unexercised prerogative
of God, and condemn and punish
another for his belief. Born in a
Protestant land, we are of tnat
faith. If we bad opened our eyes
to the light under, the shadows of
St. Peter's at Rome, we should
have been devout Catholics; born
in the Jewish quarters of Aleppo,
we should have condemned Christ
as an lmposter; in Constantinople,
we should have cried 'Allah il
Allah', God is great and Mahomet
is his prophet. Birth, place and
education give us our faith. Few
believe In any religion because
they have examined the evidence
of its authenticity, and made uv
a formal Judgment, upon weighing
the testimony. Not one man in
ten thousand knows anything
about the proofs ot hia faith. We
believe what we are taught; and
those are most fanatical who
know least ot the evidences on
which their creed is based."
P-166.
'
"No man truly obeys the Ma
sonic law who merely tolerates
those whbse religious opinions are
opposed to his own. Every man's
opinions are his own private prop
erty, and the rights of all men to
maintain each his own are perfect
ly equal. Merely to tolerate, to
bear with an opposing opinion, is
to assume it to be heretical; and
assert the right to persecute, if we
would; and claim our toleration ot
it as a merit. The Mason's creed
goes further than that. No man.
it holds, has any right fn any way
to interfere with the religious be
lief ot another. It holds that each
man Is absolutely sovereign as tt
his own belief, and that belief lt
a matter absolutely foreign to ali
who do not entertain the same be
lief; and that, If there were any
right ot persecution at all, ii
would in all cases be a mutuai
right; because one party has the
same right as the other to sit as
judge in hisown case; and God is
the only magistrate that can
rightfully decide between them.
To that greut Judge, Masonry re
fers the matter; and opening wide
its portals, it invites to enter there
and live In peace and harmony,
the Protestant, the Catholic, the
Jew, the Moslem; every man who
will lead a truly virtuous and
moral life, love his brethren, min
ister to the sick and distressed,
aud believe In the one, all-powerful,
all-wise, every-where-preseut
God, architect, creator and pre
server of all things, by whose uni
versal law of harmony ever roll
on this universe, the great, vast,
infinite circle of successive death
and life: to whose ineffable
name let all true Masons pay pro
found oat homage! For whose
thousand blessings poured upon
us, let us feel slncerest gratitude,
now, henceforth, and forever."
P. 16 7.
"The Mason does not dogmatize,
but entertaining and uttering his
own convictions, he leaves every
one else free to do the same; and
only hopes that the time r,will
come, even it after the lapse of
ages, when all men shall form-one
great family of brethren, and one
law alone, the law of love, shall
govern God's whole universe,"
P-222. ' J
"Masonry is engaged in her cru
sade, against ignorance, ..intoler
ance, fanaticism, superstition
uncharltableness, and error. She
does not sail with the trade-winds,
upon a smooth sea, with a steady
free breeze, fair for a welcoming
harbor; but meets and must over
come many opposing currents, baf
fling -winds, and dead calms."
P-237.
"The supreme counsel for the
southern Jurisdiction of the Uni
ted States at length undertook the
Indispensable and long-delayed
task' of revising and reforming the
work and rituals of the thirty de
grees under its Jurisdiction. Re
tainlng the essentials ot the de
grees and all the means by which
the members recognize One an
other, it has sought out and de
veloped the leading idea of each
degree, rejected the puerilities and
absurdities with which many of
them were disfigured and made
of them a connected system of
moral, religious and philosophical
instruction. Sectarian of no creed,
It has yet thought if not improp
er to use the old allegories, based
on occurrences detailed in the
Hebrew and Christian books; and
drawn from the ancient mysteries
ot Egypt, Persia, Greece, India,
the Druids and the Esseries, as ve
hicles to communicate the great
Masonic truths; as it hag used the
legends ot the Crusades, and the
ceremonies of the orders ot knight
hood." P-328.
'
"The history of Masonry is tho
history of philosophy. Masons do
not pretend to set themselves up
for instructors of the human race;
Asia nroduced and
preserved the mysteries, Masonry
has, in Europe and America, giv
en regularity to their doctrines,
spirit and action, and developed
the moral advantages which man
kind may reap from them. More
consistent, and more simple in its
mode of procedure, it has put an
end to the vast allegorical pan
theon of ancient mythologies, ana
Itself become a science." P-B40.
"Masonry, when properly ex
pounded, is at once the interpreta
tion of the great book f nature,
the recital ot physical and astro
nomical phenomena, the purest
philosophy, and the place of de
posit, where, as in a treasury, are
in nnfBtv all the great truths
of the primitive revelation, that
form the basis ot an religions, m
the modern degrees three things
are to be recognized: The image
of primeval times, the tableau of
the efficient causes of the uni
verse, and the book in which are
written the morality of all peoples
.nH th code bv which they must
govern themselves if they would
be prosperous." P-625.
"There is no pretence to infalli
bility in Masonry. It is not for us
to dictate to any man what ne
shall believe. We have hitherto,
In the struction of the several de
?rAfs con fined ourselves to laying
before you the great thoughts that
have found expression in tne an
ferent ages of the world, leaving
you to decide for yourself as to
tha orthodox or heterodoxy of
each, and what proportion ot
truth, if any, eacn coniainea.
P-642.
"Rellelon is the recognition or
duty in its necessary harmony
with sroodness: a harmony that
must have its realization in an
other life, through the justice and
omnipotence of God.
"Religion is as true as moral
ity; for once morality is admitted
its consequences must be admit-ted.-p.717.
"Masonry propagates no creed
except its own most simple and
,hiimi one: that universal re
ligion, taught by nature and by
reason. Its lodges are neuner
Jewish, Moslem, nor Christian
temples. It reiterates the precents
or morality of all religions. It
venerates the character and com
mends the teachings ot the great
and good of all ages and of all
countries. It extracts the good
and not the evil, the truth, and
not the error, from all creeds; and
acknowledges that there is much
which is good and true inall."
P-718.
"Freemasonry is the subjuga
tion of the human that is in man
by the Divine; the conquest otthe
appetites and passions by the mor
al sense and the reason; a con.
tinual effort, struggle, and wel
fare of the spiritual against the
material and sensual." P-8 5 4.
"Kverv degree of the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite, from
the first to the thlrty-secona,
tfiaches bv Its ceremonial as well
as by its instruction, that the
noblest purpose of life ana me
highest duty of a man are to
strive incessantly and vigorously
to win tha mastery of everything,
of that which in him is spiritual
and divine, over that which is ma
terial and sensual: so that in him
also, as In the universe which God
governs, harmony and beauty may
be the result of a just equili
brium." P-855.
