Young Chief; Charlie Chapless better known as Charlie Whirl wind and other Indians of influ ence on the reservation, don't like the degrading customs that are en tailed by the modes of civilization. They are planning for one of the big gest pow-wows in tho history of the three nations who inhabit the hills of the Umatilla reserva tion, which is to take place in a short time. At this great pow-wow tho whys and wherefores will be entered into detail, and congress in a lengthy memorial will be in formed that citizenship has demor alized the Indians; that citizenship privileges him to fill up on fire water to hir heart's content, and that he is brought to shame and degradation by ending up in the "skookum house," and then con signed to the chain gang, which is far beneath the dignity of the royal siwash. No doubt the big meeting of the red men will be one of great inter est and considerable eloquence, for there are other chiefs and braves who have many followers, who, be it said to their credit are stoutly in favor of citizenship and whiskey. Among those who will stand up in the council and defend citizenship and the paleface customs, are two chiefs of high rank and who carry themselves in the light of "big In jun" among their red brethern.

P. is figuring on reducing the run ning time by eight or ten hours. This arrangement, if effected, would also change the Spokane train, probably making it a night run, and giving the Great Northern at Spokane a better connection with the 0. R. & N. would put on day local trains from Pendleton to Pay ton or some other point up the Washington division.

I thought they bored into the ground with a pay streak till they struck the shaft, and then they drifted for the " "No, I must stop you there; you are getting a little off the proposi tion; you probably have the" right idea, but you are using terms that are not quite correct. When they get the wall of rock on the dump, then they pick the night shift, salt the contact and blast out the ver tical line, then they drift for the blossom rock, baled hay and pov erty till they strike the varicose vein, which is a good proposition. After that it's a 6hort job to put on the bias fold and sample their stockholders, where bituminous du plex bisects the brocaded porphyry and scallops the gouge with cross eyed shearings of bi-carbonate and bilious colic, interlaced with an tique quads of free copper and free milling erysipelas. This is not always a good proposition, how ever, for indirectly, or reversely, perhaps more or less, as the case might be, and still we might not. according to whether we did or did not, perhaps if not as already described, we wouldn't be positive about anything that might be doubtful," and he laughed a cold laugh and went to bed. .
