In the death of Chief Joseph of
the Nez Perces, this country lost its
most noted Indian warrior and in
many respects, its strongest Indian
character. The Nez Perces are now
preparing for a big pow wow meet
ing at which a successor to Chief
Joseph is to be chosen.
' It is now a year since the late
chieftain told in his own language
for tbe first time his story of the
Nez Perces war, at the close of
which General Miles declared Chief
Joseph Jo be the greatest Indian
that ever lived.
When Gov. I. I. Stevens called
the great Walla Walla council of
1855, the result ot which was that
all of the Indians in that section
agreed to give up most of their
lands and go on reservations, all of
the tribes were opposed to the
treaty except the Nez Perces. Old
Ka-mi-a-kin, the leader of the war
of 1855, got the Yakimas, the
Cayuses all the tribes, in fact, but
the Nez Perces to agree to mas
sacre the governor's party. Jo
seph's father and the other chiefs of
the Nez Perces pitched their tepees
near to Stevens' and thus saved the
whites from being killed. For this
act of friendship the governor gave
tbe Nez Perces a lareer share of
land than to the other tribes. Sit
ting in his tepee, Chief Joseph said:
We had 2500 people at Walla
Walla powwow," said Chief Josepb
"Yakima, Cayuse, Umatilla, Wal
lula tribe have 2500. Nez Perces
people keep Stevens from kill

Tribe my father get Wallowa. My

"Bimeby my father get sick. He
call me, he call my brother Ollicut

brother Ollicut: 'My time die
oonie. You keep Wallowa. Heap
white man come now thi country.
Maybe some day you fight. You
keep Wallowa. Our people live
here this valley long time; white
man want take Wallowa; you fight.'
"My father die. I chief. W hite

.1 -Asking-
Questions. .
Tbe Salem Journal is getting in
quisitive. Utre are some of tbe
"Whys" it propounded in Friday'
issue:
"Why did Oregfn in Jane roll
up such a splendid majority for the
Republican candidates?
"Why did Vermont on Septem
ber 6 give her candidates such a
rousing majoiity?
"Why did Arkansas on the
preceding day show a large Demo
cratic falling off?
"Why did Maine on September
12 maintain tbe great majority of
1900 and give the Republican ma
jority of several thousands in ex
cess of the average Republican
September majorities since 1884?
"Wby is the betting two to one
on Roosevelt and Fairbanks with
out any takers ot the short end?
' Why are the Democratic papers
without exception pounding the
Democratic management of tbe
Campaign and calling upon the
candidate himself to come to the
rescue?" "
To OH Roads.
Nez Perces people. Long .time ago
Walla Walla powwow Gov. Stevens
say Nez Perces keep Wallowa all
time. My father die, he say "Keep
Wallowa." I keep Wallowa.' "
Chief Joseph then described the
preliminaries of the war how the
whites killed
T. F. Ryan, county judge of
Clackamas county, returned a few
days ago from California where he
had an opportunity to witness the
effect apd cost of oiling county
roads.
" "The Clackamas county court
will next ve&r experiment with
oil in the building of two miles of
road,"said he to the Oregon City
Enterprise. "This crude petroleum
is used on all of tbe country roads
and many of the streets in all Cal
ifornia counties and towns and the
result is most satisfactory. It is
said to make a water-proof road
and if such is the case it is just
what we need in Oregon. At any
rate my observations fully warrant
(he making of an experiment here
since the cost of this road building
that is the cost of oil is only
$150 per mile, and the roads so
treated, will endure from two to
three years hard travel. "But with
all their oil," continued the county
judge, "California roads do not
surpass "our roads right here in
Clackamas county."
