The Indian Feeling Towards the Whites


1t will be seen by reference to the pro-
ceedings of an informal council recently
held between the Indians and our people at
the mouth of Slate Creek, which are pub
lished in another column, that the disposi-
ton of certain tribes of Indians who have
been heretofore regarded as unfriendly, has
undergone a decided change, and that they
now entertain the klndest feelings towards
us. We are glad to chronicle this fact, in
asmuch as it removes the last vestige of
doubt i'll regard to the position of the entire
Nez Perces nation. For long time, and
during our prolonged Indian difficulties of
few years since, the main body of this ma
ton, headed by Lawyer, have uniformly
maintained peaceful relations with US, and
have exercised a salutary influence so far as
it extended upon other smaller tribes
There have been, however, few disafected
leaders of small tribes belonging to this ma
ton, who have been more OF less connected
with and allied TO the Snakes, and have
doubtless been influenced to some extent
by them to acts of hostility towards u.s.
These tribes are the people who now come
forward and request conference, for the
roNsoged purpose of expressing their good
will, and placing themselves upon the rec
ord in terms of cordial and hearty friend
ship. Many of their young men, particu-
larly, have heretofore been inclined to Join
the Snakes in their crusade against our peo-
pie, and it has been beyond the power of
well-disposed chiefs to control them.
There has existed for some time amcng
this nation disad'ection towards their head
chief, Lawyer, which has arisen mainly on
account of his adherence to amicable rela-
tOns with the whites Some of the sub
criefs have accused him of being so much
under the influence of certain white men as
to be blind to the interests of their people,
being themselves opposed to the whites
coming into their country. Frequent at
tempts have been made by these disafected
Indians to dethrone Lawyer and place an
other chief over their nation. Once or
twice majority of his people have agreed
to select new chief; but upon casting
about them for the choice of the man who
should be elevated to their command, differ
ences have again arisen, and their councils
have been broken without producing the
end designed. Still Lawyer, veteran and
gray-haired, remains their chief, and we
hope he will continue so to be. By his uni
form efforts to hold his people upon terms
offriendship with the whites, he has finally
succeeded in bringing his entire nation to
place themselves square upon the record.
Now they extend their hospitality to the
miners, assure them of their liberty to g go
where they please, and dig all the golathey
want" The speech made in the conference
by the person chosen to communicate their
feelings towards the whites, is one ofmourn-
full eloquence. Itexhibits the consciousness
on then part that the scepter swayed by
them through the long and shadowy past
has departed from them forever, and that
their days are nearly numbered.

Farmers Should Prepare for Winter

The late snow and cold weather has been
disastrous to stock of every description
Cattle have died by hundreds from cold and
starvation. One gentleman informs us that
in going out to search for his stock on one
of the small streams in the valley, he found
upwards of forty dead cattle in travelling a
distance of only three miles. On the Wal
la Walla, we are informed, dead stock are
streNn here and there along the river AS
far down as the Umatilla, the mortality has
extended, and we learn that it is greater
there from the fact that most of the cattle
were brought from the Willamette valley
late in the fall, and we're at that time in
poor condition. Indian stock has suffered
greatly, and large Lands of horses have per-
ished. On the Touchet, some fifty or more
head of cattle have died; and we are told
that the mortality generally will be far
greater, from the effects of the weather up
to the present time, and if the snow should
continue much longer on the ground, the
loss Of stock will be very great.
This severe weather and its consequent
effects, suggests the necessity of preparation
for winter on the part of farmers and stock
growers. There are doubtless many per
sons in the Willamette valley, and even in
this valley, who hold to the belief that stock
may subsist and thrive on natural vegeta-
ton during the winter months, notwith-
standing the evidences we have frequently
had to the contrary AS in the Willamette,
so there are doubtless seasons here so mild
as to afford fair pasture for cattle during the
entire year but these seasons are the ex-
ception rather than the rule. There we
have frequently seen stock perishing for
want of food rather than from the severity
of the weather, and it is rare season in
deed which furnishes vegetation sufficient
to maintain stock during the winter months.
This is owing in measure to the fact that
the accumulation Of stock upon its plains
for the past few years has been too great
for the natural growth, the feed becoming
exhausted before the commencement of win
ter Though the grass is far better here
than there, and the number Of stock feed
ing upon it not near so great, yet we find
it not adequate in its natural condition for
the support of stock. Two weeks of wealth
er such as we have recently experienced
snow covering the ground, and the frost ad-
herring to the grass, so that if the snow was
off it would afford no nutriment to stock
must inevitably bring similar calamities to
those of The present season.
1t seems to us that the utter futility of
the system of subsisting stock during the
winter months without preparing food and
shelter, is fully demonstrated here as we'll
as in Oregon, and that absolute necessity
saying nothing Of the advantage gained by
good care of stock-compels those engaged
in this business to adopt the custom of the
eastern states, and make adequate provision
to enable their stock to get through the
winter in as good condition as when it
closed. upon them. Regarded in the sense
of profit and loss, this would certainly be
wise policy.
