500. The ditch on the Reservation is
dead failure. Not one drop of water
can reach it from the Colorado, and the
headgate has never been opened.
Nearly 500, 600 have been used in dig
cing it, and 2O,OOO more asked for.
Agent TONER'S statement, that the
ditch is almost ready for use, is de-
bounced as falsehood. a school
master, head farmer, and other en-
ployes appear on the rolls and paid for
doing nothing. No school exists. The
farm, so called, consists of an alfalfa
grass plot, fifty feet square, in front of
the agents residence, which is watered
daily by Indian children under the di-
rection of the schoolmaster. Tonner
is also charged with owning ranch
near the Reservation, to which the fin
est cattle belonging to the Indians are
sent and marked with his brand. All
the best farming implements likewise
find their way here. The Indians are
not half fed. Feeble old squaws are
compelled to earn living by carrying
bundles of hay, often weighing 100
pounds, many miles to the Reservation,
where Tenner pays them nominally fif-
ty cents per diem in two cups of flour.
This hay is then charged to the Gov
eminent as having cost $50 gold per
ton.

Your BULL AND My Ox.-The "gran-
ger who talks so much" in his article
i'll the last Transcript, states that some
advocate of bonds, in fit of rage, de-
clared the people would "cram the
bonds down the threats of opposers.
We never heard of the use of such an
expression in this community, or has
anybody else SO far as we can discover,
except the correspondent, and the charge
it certainly reads just as if coined from
the fertile Imagination of that indi-
vidual. Even if somebody did use the
expression, what does it prove? What
effect should it have on such ques-
ton. The Transcript correspondent it
is well known, believes there is no God,
but does that belief weaken the faith of
any reasoning creature WHO feels the
innate consciousness of divinepresence?
So with this cause, it stands on its
own merits. l should not be, and can
not be, injured by the folly of individu-
ais who express their sentiments in an
Incorporate manner. Mr.. Young, the
other day, threatened the people of
Olympia with the intliction of various
punishments if they did not defeat the
bonds, but the people were not silly
enough to regard him any more than
they would the demonstrations of a set
ting hen The heads of all such eX-
tremists should be butted together, I'M
til the scale is removed from their
brains enough to allow Il glimmer of
reason to shine through.
