NOT A COMPROMISE AT ALL.
TILE long promised and anxiously awaited "compro
mise" proposition from M. R Hanley was submitted
to the council Monday by A. 12. Reames, his attorney. It
is substantially as follows:
Proposition No. 1. Mr. Hanley will accept $15,000
and the 300 inches of water owned by the city, purchased
from the Pish Lake Ditch Companv.
Proposition No. 2. Air. Hanley will settle for $25,000,
with the privilege of using the 300 inches of water in Little
Butte until the city needs it.
In. both propositions Mr. Hanley tenders the city the
Wasson canyon water and right of way.
This is no compromise at all, but a poorer proposition
for the city than if the original contract with Mr. Hanley
were carried out. It is a distinct disappointment to those
who have earnestly worked to secure an amicable adjust-

Tho Indians of that vicinity, belong
ing to the Shasta tribe, were very
numerous, but were divided into sev
eral bnnds. They occupied ShaBta
and Scott valleys, and the banks of
tho Klamath river adjacent. They
had been separated from tho Rogue
Ulvers only recently owing to the
death of their principal chief. There
Is no doubt that these tribes were
one and undivided previously, but
now they were broken up and formed
several communities, each with Its
own chief. At Yreka old Tolo was
chief, an always firm friends and

A thunder storm is a rare occurrence in the Rogue
River Valley. It lias been nianv vears since a storm of
equal severity to that of Mondav visited this section. In
the mountains, during the summer months, they occur
frequently and many a stately pine or tir stands a withered
emblem of the lightning's blast. In the vallev we fre
quently hear the distant "roll of the thunder, but seldom
does the lightning flash about us.
Sunday was an unusually hot day for this period of

Into tribal communities of greater or
less Importance and, as boforo re
marked, all owed a quasi allcglanco
to Joe and Sam, chiefs of tho Table
Uock band, the main division of tho
tribe. On Apnlegato crock dwelt
Chief John, a redoubtable warrior j
who properly fills more spaco in his-;
tory than any other Oregon Indian,:
excepting, perhaps, Kam-a-l-a-kun,
the colebrated wnrrlor of tho Yakl-(
mas, and , Peo-peo-mux-mux, tho
great chief of the Walla Wallas.
John's clan, tho Kch-ka-taw-a. was
numerically small; not moro than
fifty braves followed him to war,
but theso, under such a leader, moro
than made up for lack of numbers,
by courage, strategy, and Indomitable (
perseverance. We shall havo much
to say of this wily and sagacious '
chief, when treating of tho events
of tho war of 1855-56. Another
prominent Indian was Ltmpy so
called by the whites who was of
tho Haw-quo-e-hav-took, a rather
moro numerous band, dwelling In tho
region drained by tho Illinois rlvor.
His character was well known to the
whites, by reason of his taking part
In hostilities against them on nil pos
sible occasions. The acts of Llmpy
and John have become In a great
measuro confounded In most people's
recollections, and to tho Illinois In
dians are attributed many acts and
exploits of which tho blame or crodlt
should be given to tho Applegate
band. Georgo, another nnd less
prominent sub-chief, dwelt upon tho
Rogue IMver below Vannoyr8 ferry.
His people united on accaslon with
those of Llmpy, and together made
up an active and dangerous force.

LN HoftUiaai I able compromise and this is not.
It proposition .No. 1 was accepted, the city will give

".'"I"" "3c I mclies, a total or $du,uuu lor dUU mcues. rue saving int
I pipe will amount to $6,000 leaving a net cost to the citv of
If proposition number 2 is accepted, the citv will pav
$25,000 to Mr. Hanley for 300 inches, $15,000 tb the Fish
Lake Company for 300 inches, and turn over to Mr. Han
ley for use indefinitely the latter 300 inches. In other
words, the city gives to Mr. Hanley the use of half its
water and pays interest on the purchase price for Mr.
Hanley 's benefit in return for $2,500 interest alleged to be
due Mr. Hanley under his original contract.
The water owned by the city is more valuable to Mr.
Hanley than "Wasson Canyon water, for it can be diverted
into the new liicrli lino dif oh ihnt ho 1ms onnstvuofpfl. mid
Wasson Canyou water oaunot be. If he would hwS.
asbuii v-uuyou waiur xor uie city s water on an even
basis, he would be the gainer. The city would probably
not object to paving him as a bonus the $6,000 or $6,500
saved in pipe line. Some such proposal as this was
looked for.
Last fall Mi-. Hanlev offered to take $17,000 for his
contract. Now he wants $25,000 and, in addition, the use
of the city's water, for the same thing. And yet he calls
it a fail compromise.
Under the circumstances the onlv thing the citv can
do is to proceed with its condemnation suit, secure a right-
of-way, put up a bond and proceed with work as contem
plated. If the courts eventually decide the contract with
Mi. Hanley a valid one, the city will then have to pay
the $25,000 called for and the interest, but it will receive
another 300 inches of water, which can be rented or sold
at a profit.
The citv council stands readv to accept auv reasonable
compromise but Mr. Hanlev and Mr. Reames have not,
in its opinion, offered one. Nov have they, in the opinion
or the citizens, who have striven to bring about an adjust
ment outside the court. The failure to reach an amicable
settlement does not now lie with the city council, but with
Mr. Hanley and his attorney, Mr. Reames.
