INDIAN PLEADS
FOR FISH RIGHTS
Aged Chief Recalls Treaty Made
With the Governor of Wash
ington in 1855.
CHEERED BY LEGISLATORS
Protest« Against Disregard of Pact
Which Recognized Right of Indi-
to Take Salmon In the
Yakima River.
years
Olympia, Wash.—Slxfy-slx
ago In the spray of Prosser falls, un
Indian chief and the then governor
of Washington respectively pledged
their people to abide by a pact.
This pact recognized the perpetual
rights of the Yakima tribe to lisli
where from time immemorial the red
man had taken his salmon.
The Indiana had been reluctant, say
ing to Oov. Isaac I. Stevens, "but
when you are dead, who will bear
witness to your promises?" And the
governor had replied:
“I pledge the Americans to keep the
promises ns long as the mountains
stnnd. as long as the sun shines and
the river runs I”
Calling upon these mute witnesses
and summoning the spirits of the dead,
Chief Menlnock of the Yuklmns has
just made a speech of protest at the
whites’ violation of that treaty, In the
state senate chamber here, which
the most dramatic recorded In
annals.
Boy When Treaty Wai Made.
And that speech, which would
credit to the historic orators of his
race, with Ils sharp challenge to the
white umn's honor, bids fair to correct
a wrong the Indians hud hitherto
borne In silence.
Menlnock was u boy when the trea
ty wns made. He had stood attentive
ly beside hls father on Ihut occasion.
Today he is 80, and wrinkled. Much
water has run over Prosser fulls since
then, and the salmon have dwindled.
Also, the whites have enacted fish und
game laws which conflict so with the
trenty of 1855 that Menlnock was
recently arrested for taking salmon
from the Yakima river.
A few days ago Chief Menlnock and
other tribul leaders, together with
their wives nnd children, appeared nt
the Imposing state lodge of the white
men at the state cnpltol here to pro
test. In their feathered and bende<|
trappings and scarlet blankets they
projected a vivid picture of the past
Into the busy legislative councils as
the chief rose to sjieak 111 dignified
protest.
Calls Upon Spirits.
"My heart Is glad today,'' said Menl-
nock with solemn mien and sonorous
tongue, "because you have said you
would listen to what we have to say.
It makes me feel tlint you want to do
right by my people whose privileges
have been taken and who are s ek mid
sad for being deprived of III
which Ims given them tienili
strength.

pictures. If you have a play
