MONEY UP.-A farmer friend visited Lew
iston lately for the purpose of disposing of
lot of cheese. He found ready sale for
his cheese, but not dollar in money could
be realized. The explanation is that all
the money in the towns bet on the Presi-
dental election, and being in the hands Of
Stockholders there is great stringency in
the money market. Our friend left his
cheese, and after the radicals complete the
counting OUT of Tilden he expects to re-
ceive his returns.-W. ". Statesman.
1t is some consolation to us that cur
neighbor of the Statesman has discovered
the "explanation" of our lack of money,
as it does not claim that the money has left
us altogether, but is only locked up for a
season. When the Stockholders disgorge
it must make money plenty.

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.

~ 81
Several Of our cotemporaries entertain
similar views with US in regard to the late
Indian Commission to the Wallowas viz:
That the whole thing was farce. AS ex-
pressed by the Union "the farce of a
government representing As, 900, 900 of peo-
pie, making trea ties of peace with every
band of halfa hundred Indian outlaws, is
getting altogether too broad to be laugha-
ble." After the manner in which the com
mission was met by Joseph we wonder lot
that the men composing the commission
eloped from the country as quickly as pos
sible and maintained such reticence as de-
scribed in the Union in regard to the re-
suit of their mission. Their coming was
announced by the Eastern press, the San
FRANCISCO and Portland press with great
flourish of trumpets touching what they
were to do. "The mountain has brought
forth a mouse" would be too strong an ex-
preston of that which they have accom-
plished. We learn that Joseph refused to
shake hands with Gen. Howard saying that
he did not send for him and wanted moth
ing to do with him. Col. H. Clay Wood
has written up his pamphlet of fifty pages
giving the status of Joseph and his band
in relation to the, Whites. sand now be has
another good theme for similar pamphlet
descriptive of the status Of Gen. Howard
towards Joseph. We think the latter
would be more interesting to readers in
this upper country who comprehend the
situation. ..
The effect o t this visit and consideration
given to Joseph by the commission has
been to make him more naughty, insolent
and defiant, and whereas before be might
have doubted his own greatness and ability
to maintain the Wallowa country, now it
will require som very forcible demonstra-
ton on the part Of the Government to
induce him to submit to reservation regula-
lions. 1t certainly is reasonable to appre-
bend more annoyance to the settlers from
Joseph than would have been experienced
had the commission remained in Washing
ton, or stopped short Of coming here, even
if they had gone on fishing excursion
somewhere in California or Oregon, or had
gone to inspect the Camp Greek mines of
Eastern Oregon and reported their richness
back to Washington. We learn nothing of
their purpose to report favorably upon the
question of consolidating Indian Agencies
as was announced they would do. This
purpose of their mission may vet develope
itself. 1t is announced that part of the
commission consisting of Messrs. Barstow
Jerome and Stickney are detailed to inspect
the Indian reservations in this portion of
the country, and doubtless this visit is with
view to The contemplated copsolidation
OF agencies. We have before expressed the
general sentiment of the people Of this sec
ton of the country as to the present i'm
of any such consolidation
and assigned the reasons for this sentiment.
Perhaps the commission may find safe
way y do this, tina: no man living in an
Indian country would have ever conceived.

THE CAMP CREEK MINEs.-A correspond
ent of the Oregonian over the signature of
Ochocoian in gentle manner raises a
query and doubt about the richness claimed
for the quartz mines in Wasco County.
He thinks the rock formation there pre-
cludes the belief of good quartz there.

THAT CoMMlssloN.-The Oregoni1n of the
23d ult. is in error when it states that
''the people of Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington Territory have every reason to hope
that the action of the board will be final :
that the difficulty has been adjusted on a
satisfactory basis-either that the Indian s
claim to the Walowa Valley has been ex-
tinguished by purchase on the part of the
government, or that they have been given
free and undisputed possession of the
ahhe.' No adjustment was made with
